so uh

in english i asked my teacher how letters would be spelled...because i can

and this led to a rabbit hole to color associations with names and school subjects and the letters genders and uh

this

so...oops

also general concensus:

a = eih c = see g = jie h = aech m = em n = en o = au q = keu r = are s = ecx u = oei x = ecks z = sxee

s, c, k are girls a, r are boys

the recording is gonna be wild

what color is math

what a totally random question. well. you see math is actually blue, because I often associate blue with the word intelligence. so therefore. motherfuckimg blue. change my God damn mind

MY FRIENDS THINK MATH IS RED!!!!!!!!!!!!

English is red

Math is blue

Fuck you

every few weeks or so my friend group has the never ending debate of whether math is blue (correct answer) or red (don't talk to me ever again)

Interesting how everyone has colors associated with school subjects and how everyone but me is wrong

Math is blue. If you think it's red you're wrong.

and if i peered into your soul and whispered "math is blue" how would you respond

One of the most heated arguments I can get in with a person is what color school subjects are.

things getting a little heated with friends

i just really, really love the idea of zoro having no real "survival skills" because he had a much more traditional (if atypical) childhood/youth than most of the crew. bandit heritage aside, he was raised in a tight-knit and relatively peaceful community with (at best) agricultural outskirts. he doesn't leave until he's much older, at which point he becomes a bounty hunter as a way to make money (to pay for food, shelter, etc. presumably in villages, towns, and cities). we know from the non-canon johnny and yosaku backstories that he "hunted" for bounties in cities/towns, at least partially.

meanwhile luffy has been running around the wilderness since he was like seven years old, securing his own food, building fire and shelter, and just generally toughening up/learning how to live in nature. we know he had a pretty extensive knowledge of bugs and how to catch them, so with that + his childhood i don't think it's a stretch to assume he also has an understanding of edible plants and non-monstrous wildlife (even if its not all applicable outside the East Blue). he's survived on his own in the wilderness for years at a time at least twice in canon.

i think it's fun to think of them having... some sort of "zoro is lost in more ways than one" kinda vibe early on in their journey, especially since they're constantly broke pre-timeskip and we know that at least by little garden the crew has started hunting and foraging to supplement their stores. you could absolutely rope the rest of the east blue grew into this, but zoro is still sort of the outlier with his background.

i dunno. maybe i just like the image of luffy trying to teach zoro how to hunt or fish and both of them just having the dumbest time with it. luffy would be really earnest but impatient--and zoro would be stubborn about admitting he doesn't know shit but would still listen and absorb anyway.

luffy having no clue how to start small and work up to new skills, so they end up going after massive wild boars or something as a first or second lesson and zoro just rolls with it because sure, yeah, thats normal. what the hell does he know? (and also hes fucking. zoro. so.)

or luffy teaching zoro to fish normally but also like a bear fishes (standing knee-deep in the water and catching fish with his bare hands) because it looks more fun that way and he cant. and zoro just fucking up soooo bad but getting really competitive anyway, even though luffy is just, like, sitting on a nearby rock yelling (frankly terrible) directions at him or something. zoro catches nothing and luffy tells him he looks stupid getting angry at the river so of course zoro is going to master fucking. bare-handed fishing because the man's got one braincell and its 99% stubborn pride.

he fucking sucks at starting a fire, wouldnt even consider building proper shelter, and in general would not make it 0.2 seconds outside a populated environment without his captain--a guy raised by the jungle and ace, who was basically a wild animal himself.

idk. survival-competent luffy is very near and dear to my heart.

clandestine meetings <3

this was inspired by a peaky blinders scene can you believe

wrinkled characters- 💥

and mp4 is just there djfhsj

Numbers got me fucked up

in my gansey and noah feelings again because how beautifully tragic, how incredibly circular.

something about the magic of seven years. the same idea as getting to the end of the week or god taking seven days to create the earth. noah living on after his seven years of martyrdom as a kind of saint that must be remembered — not necessarily remembering his physical form, but what he meant, what he represents.

something about the tragedy of one young person given in exchange for the rebirth of another. gansey assuming he is the tragedy, assuming he will repeat noah’s same cycle — dying at 17 — but instead coming to see that it was his cycle to break.

noah slides from time.

gansey wakes up.

and we erase the word murdered and replace it with the word remembered.
