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.

Did you live in the world of a 1920s movie? Like, genuinely.

[theuniverseleads]

What's a movie?

[leggierissimo]

I can't believe you just asked me that question. Where's your culture?

It sounds like time for an intervention.

[theuniverseleads]

Hah! I guess I wouldn't know!

Well? Don't leave me in anticipation! What is a movie? Something that moves, if I had to guess, but that doesn't say a lot!

[leggierissimo]

A series of pictures that, when put into sequence and ran through a device, portray the actual motion that was captured on film. It's a very popular medium for storytelling!

I don't think we have access to movies here, but I can certainly show you the next best thing.

[theuniverseleads]

Like a Crafted picture? A sequence of Crafted pictures?

[... storytelling, tho...] Is it like a play? Interesting! I think I'd like to see one, whatever it is. Please, do tell me more!

[leggierissimo]

What is a Crafted picture, exactly?

But yes, it's like a play. Except the actors only have to perform one good time, and we as the audience get to watch the same exact performance whenever we like, even years down the road. Though, sometimes there are bad performances that are recorded, too. Those are just as fun to watch for different reasons. They come in any genre you could possibly want - horror, romance, action, comedy, you name it. Some are even animated.

[theuniverseleads]

Are you seriously asking me that? Wow, where's YOUR culture?

[Honestly baffling, the idea of not knowing what Craft is. Well, it's something that's easier to show than explain. They take a moment to sketch out a few tiny stars on the page, pressing their palm to the drawing on their end, and...]



Ta da~

A Crafted play, what a fun idea! I can't believe no one else has thought of that already! You said we don't have any here, though, so what's the next best thing?

[ Oh. ]

We call that a GIF. Sounds like you'd be a fan of animated movies, then, if that's what your mind jumped to.

[ Which, boy oh boy, Loop, the world is SO FULL of animated movies! ]

Oh, I'd hate to spoil the surprise. If you can track me down, I'll be happy to show you what I mean.

[theuniverseleads]

There are non-animated movies?? What does that mean? [doesn't the fact that it moves make it animated???? maybe ease them in with something basic before getting to CGI, y'all Crafting some fucked up shit out there in other realities]

Aww, you're not even going to give me a hint? I'm new here, you know! I don't know everyone's favourite hiding spots yet! No fair!
