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.

I mean, there are artists where I'm from too? People don't seem to have any trouble expressing themselves with shades. You don't need colors to give something a mood or a tone.

[... do you???]

Are there moods you can ONLY make with colors?

[amethystic]

black and white work exists here but the impact is largely different, as are the aesthetics. i feel like monotone suggests a more serious tone as well personally but it does largely depend on the work

( she's now going to go on a large ramble about color theory. i

do not have the energy to do this though. she's thorough though? )

[theuniverseleads]

[They understood almost none of that. But she sounds very passionate! Reminds them of a researcher, or maybe a clothing designer...

...]

Sounds complicated! I guess it's like if you had double the shades to work with? There's more of them so you can express more, or something? I kind of get it.

Do you have a favourite?

[amethystic]

i'd say more than double but that sounds about right.

and a few! purple, pink, black and gold.

( to make a point, she's written each one in it's corresponding color. the gold glitters. )

[theuniverseleads]

[Oh!!!!]

Sparkly! I like this one! [with a little arrow pointing at the gold writing... they add a couple tiny four-pointed stars around it. sparkly like stars!] Black is what we'd call lightless, is there a color for darkless? The opposite of black.

[amethystic]

( she adds a few gold sparkles herself. )

white! when you look at the clouds, the lightest part of them is white. or paper, most standard writing paper where i'm from is white.

[theuniverseleads]

It is, isn't it? Clouds, paper, the moon and the stars~ [they add a little crescent moon next to the sparkly gold stars]

That's my favourite! White!

[amethystic]

how about this?

( "this" being an equally glittery silver ink instead. )

this is silver. many metals are this color, but in art it can also be used for the moon and stars. the moon goddess here is even titled the Silver Moon.

[theuniverseleads]

[Ohhh they like that one more than the gold... pretty! Easier on the eyes!]

It does look like silver! That makes sense. [okay okay that's great bUT MORE IMPORTANTLY] There's a moon goddess? Here?

[amethystic]

yes, and her wife, the Golden Sun. and apparently the stars are their kids?

the moon goddess is named Ourania. she was very kind. we haven't made contact with Beiwe yet though.

[theuniverseleads]

[stars? stars?? stars????

their writing is no longer neat and tidy. might be a little frantic!]

People worship them, here? The sun and moon? The stars? The Universe?

[amethystic]

they used to, at least. by the well is statues for ourania and beiwe, if you're interested. we're still learning about them ourselves. as for the stars, joshua knows more than i do!



which is really sad given that i am also a star. but not like the stars here are. they take the form of small celestial animals, while i very much do not!

(he takes care of one. it looks like a hedgehog and he is VERY cute.)

[theuniverseleads]

[ooohhhh haha this is! a lot! to take in, actually!!

They don't reply for a couple minutes. Need a moment to breathe, and also. Process. All of this. Too many questions, too many emotions they don't want to deal with.

It's a difficult topic, the stars.

...]

Can a person actually be a star?

[amethystic]

apparently.
it's new to me too.
i probably should have realized sooner, but i needed another star to recognize me.

[theuniverseleads]

Not that obvious, huh?

Beiwe and Ourania. You said Ourania is nice? Will she answer back, if you pray to her?

[amethystic]

she generally responds somehow or another, even if it's not verbally. beiwe too.

[theuniverseleads]

Hah, typical. Gods don't seem very good at direct communication. [but that's fine. more than the Universe usually gives them.]

Anyway! Felicity! [they can read (thank u stardust)] We should chat more about this sometime! The stars are important to us, you know? And I'd love to meet a real celebrity, even if you're more of a B-lister than an O-lister~

[amethystic]

part of it is that they're weakened to be fair
we're working on it

but yeah for sure! also i hate how much that made me laugh.

[theuniverseleads]

Is that how it works? How do you fix something like that, anyway?

Oh, don't worry! I've got more where that comet from~

[amethystic]

faith, trust and pixie dust.

... mostly just faith and magic, actually. dad gave ourania a powerful piece of magic, for instance.

[start_again]

You're a star???? Like a real one??

[He's been just quietly stalking everything here since that's less embarrassing than having to ask about stuff himself, but hello!!]

Who's writing this? How can you tell who is who on these things??

[The post is obviously from Loop, but he doesn't know anyone else's handwriting.]

[amethystic]

felicity! pink hair, one arm.

( after a moment, theres a pink smudge of color as demonstration. )

[start_again]

[The word "pink" means nothing to him, so the smudge of color is in fact very helpful.]

And you're a star? How does that work?
