Does anyone else here think that colors are weird?

Just wondering! Since no one has said anything about it! And it's been two weeks and everything still makes my eyes hurt.

Comments

[theuniverseleads]

I guess so? Some of them. I don't know the names. There's a lot!

[eidxiety]

If you buy a box of crayons, they tell you what the colours are. I think Mr. Shopkeeper has some.

[theuniverseleads]

Oh! That makes sense! I'll do that!

[...

...

... but talking to people in person is hard, so. later!!]

Do you have favourites? Is that still a thing?

[eidxiety]

"Still a thing"? You haven't been around people ever, have you?

[Ain you've been part of humankind for five fucking years SHUT up]

My favourite colours are green, gold, black, white, blue, purple, and red.

[This is like half the rainbow]

I kind of like orange, but I wouldn't wear it, and wearing only gold or yellow looks ugly too. I'd never wear red either, but someone I like has red hair. ^^

[theuniverseleads]

[Wow! So many words that mean nothing to them!!!!

But wait,]

Orange is a color? Like the fruit?

[eidxiety]

Uh-huh. Orange the fruit is the same colour as orange the... the colour, haha.

See, that one is easy. ^^

[theuniverseleads]

Weird! Are there others like that? Like banana or peach?

Is plum a color?

[eidxiety]

Uh-huh. Blueberries are dark blue. Banana is a lighter shade of yellow, peach is a lighter shade of pink, and plum is a darker shade of purple.

[theuniverseleads]

Wow! So many!! And they each have their own shades?

[... they're not really getting most of it, though, because they have no idea what "yellow" or "blue" looks like. Maybe they should be more specific?

They rub a leaf against the margin of the page, messily transferring a bit of the green color.]

What's this one?

[eidxiety]

That's green! That's probably the most common shade of green people think when they say "green". But the pine needles on some of the trees here are also green, just a darker one. :O

[theuniverseleads]

Green! So that's what forest shade is called. [they're learning! yay!]

I like that one, I think. Looks... cool and relaxing, maybe? Like sitting under the shade on a warm day.

[eidxiety]

That's the colour of my eyes, haha ^^ If you look into my eyes and find them cool and relaxing, let me know~

[someone take this man's pen away]

[theuniverseleads]

I'd check, but I can't see you from here, teehee~ [both of them need their pens taken away honestly]

[start_again]

[Siffrin slides in here subtly, writing neatly so his handwriting matches Loop's. Probably looks like it comes from the same person at a glance!]

What's the really bad color? The one that looks like the end of the world?

[eidxiety]

I dunno, chartreuse? That's a really bad colour :O

[chartreuse sounds like it should be red but it is in fact the worst shade of yellowgreen ever invented.]

[start_again]

No not that one. The really painful-looking one.

[He doesn't have the words to describe it, so after a bit he grabs a red flower and rubs one of the petals on the page. The smear it leaves it a bit more pink than properly red, but hey, it's the best he can do.]

It's like that sorta, but more

not darker, that's not it

vibrant??

[eidxiety]

[Pink is not the colour of the world ending you're insane—

Oh, wait. Reads further.]

Ummm this one?

[Red scribble, added.]

This is red. Red is a good colour. :O

[start_again]

Yes that one!!
But it's not good at all, it's really awful and makes me feel bad just looking at it.

[eidxiety]

Really? I guess it's the colour of blood, which some people are freaked out by... I've never seen it be the "end of the world" colour though :O The end of the world colour is actually this sickly blue colour :O

[start_again]

That's the color of blood????

[ HE HASN'T SEEN ANY INJURIES YET HERE, HE STILL THOUGHT OF BLOOD AS JUST BLACK..... ]

[eidxiety]

Yeah haha :D Well some people have different blood colours but humans have red blood ^^

[start_again]

Well that's the worst thing I've ever heard. But I guess I'm glad to find out now instead of getting surprised with it next time I see someone get hurt.

[theuniverseleads]

Oooh yeah, gonna have to agree with stardust. This one looks awful.

What's so good about it?

[eidxiety]

It's the colour of [elsword's eyes and hair and everything why does he only wear one colour] roses and strawberries and cherries, and butterflies and cute little birdies :O It's the colour of people's faces when they blush and it's the first colour in the rainbow, and it means passion and love and strength.

It's a good colour!

[theuniverseleads]

[They're trying to imagine all these nice things but they get stuck on the image of people's faces painted in a vibrant blood red, thanks for the nightmare fuel.]

That's too many things. Don't like it! Gross!

No more red on this page, thank you! You're going to traumatize my poor little stardust, he might even start crying~
