“I found this cool rock, so I made you An Art and I wrote on it how I love you (and also how cool this rock is).” is my love language. Like I can’t carve so instead I write poems about how my partner makes a sandwich because I saw her do it one time but it feels like the same energy here and like, in my experience that’s one of the two ways ASD people show love. (The other is infodumping about a special interest and it’s also wonderful because a special interest is a part of our soul.)

i wonder if carved cuneiform looks different than cuneiform for soft clay

I can see that they’re imitating the little triangles (which are a natural consequence of the stylus in clay method) on purpose, much as formal western typography is based on quill/brush writing with the thicks and thins

Now, did she give her dad a drinking vessel with the cuneiform equivalent of "World's Greatest Dad" in return?

The way in which the engraving on the rock references the gifting on the rock not only is awesome on its own but also retroactively makes a lot of Dwarf Fortress engravings far more realistic to me.

This is a legendary chalcedony pendant. All craftshumanship is of the highest quality. On the chalcedony pendant is an engraving of the chalcedony pendant. It menaces with spikes of cuneiform.
