TRIGEDASLENG/GROUNDER LANGUAGE.

"grounders don't give up. we fight." - octavia blake

if you're writing a fanfic for 'the 100', it's pretty likely you're going to want to use trigedasleng in your book. of course, some books may need to use it more (for example if your OC is a grounder, or if your OC is like dating a grounder or something) than others. but it's still a cool feature to have in any 'the 100' fanfic, even if it's just a little bit.

okay, so i'll start out with just a basic explanation of what trigedasleng is.

T R I G E D A S L E N G : "Trigedasleng is descended from a heavily-accented dialect of American English. It has evolved rapidly over three generations. Its development was also influenced by an early code-system that was developed shortly after the Nuclear Apocalypse, but this only affected the lexicon minority."
