This is going to be a bit different from my usual uploads, but it's still cool anyway. It starts with some personal details actually. I picked up a new hobby of making my own road signs out of plywood and spray paint. Many of these signs I've made have been stop signs, but not just any normal one. These stops are special, muy special. But anyways, the lore update.

Recently, Steven, my main OC, started a movement on Carbon C. It started in late August of 2025, and is still going. This movement was titled "A Million Ways To Say Stop", and its main goal was to spread awareness of endangered native languages. This would include languages such as Lakota, Navajo, Tlingit, or Chickasaw. Steven learned of how rare these languages were, and wanted to tell everyone about them. A part of the movement was having these endangered languages put on road signs and installed on the streets of Carbon C. These signs would include a QR code that told you about what the language was and how to pronounce the word. So now, you'll be driving down the streets on Steven's home planet, and you will encounter these native signs. One street name might be written in Inuit, or maybe Cree, or even Tlingit. You might pass a stop sign written in Osage, or maybe even Blackfeet. That's where the name of the movement came from. "A Million Ways To Say Stop" is a good way of describing what spared this whole thing; Native Stop Signs. Many of these native languages don't have an exact translation for stop, so they have to get close enough. Some stop signs might feature a word that translates to "Wait" for instance. A few of the stops are exact translations of either "stop" or "Halt". The funny ones come in with translations like "quit moving" or "stand here". It's truly infinite of how many ways there are to say a simple word like stop. You could find more than a million ways I'm sure.

Also, if you were wondering, Steven's shirt has a Navajo stop sign on it. Altse is a Navajo word that means "first", "before", or "wait". In the context of a stop sign, it fits the command. The stop sign he's holding is written in Tlingit, a language spoken in Coastal British Columbia and Southwestern Alaska.

This is a lot, but I have a lot to say about it.
