in an interlude between constant things, a color thing: purple. color of royalty apparently. since the city of tyre (I think) had some kinda monopoly on this mediterranean snail that secreted stuff that could be refined into purple dye. romans loved that shit, apparently. also the color of barney the dinosaur (and a sickly shade of lime green). and certain brands of kids merchandise. a stereotypical color of play-doh. gen one dittos. why do I bother to do these things
This is my favorite way I’ve ever been asked anything ever for the record this ask made my day.
Purple (10 Facts About My Room):
1. It’s really fucking messy to the point of like wow that’s kind of shocking2. The walls are yellow because my dad said he would paint it for me when we moved in like five years ago but he never did so they are still yellow and gross and mess with the way all my selfies look :(3. My closet door is perpetually off the tracks because that’s where I throw all the shit I don’t feel like putting away and it fucks things up and every time my dad fixes it I just throw more shit in there and it gets fucked up again4. Occasionally I go on cleaning sprees for a very long time and I like clean all the drawers and like mop the floor and then within a week there’s shit all over the place again I can’t help myself5. My finalist medal from the Hartford District Event last year is hanging on the wall over my bed because it’s pretty much my fave achievement. It’s there with like my certificate from the robotics banquet last year and my “compulsive coffee addict” superlative6. I keep my trophies from dance on the top shelf of my bookshelf but I ran out of room for the medals so I threw them all in a bag that I put in my sock drawer7. The walls are covered with song lyrics that at one point I liked and I have since grown tired of and am too lazy to take down and replace with song lyrics that I like8. I have these hella cool lights strung up over the top of one of my walls and they’re shaped like butterflies and I love them plus they give me romantic ambient lighting for all of my TV WATCHING9. There’s so many clothes on my floor waiting to be washed that I’m kind of amazed that I still have clothes to wear out of the house everyday10. I really, really, REALLY need to clean it before I leave for robotics on Thursday or else it’ll bother me all weekend
