Source is the Codex Seraphinianus, for anyone wondering

Thank you!

Edit: I started looking through it and don't have a word for the emotions I feel. I suppose that's what art is about, but it's almost a cognitive dissonance for what I know is real, and an alien world.

Is this in an actual language?

For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.
