[OOC translation for people who don't hate themselves:
was looking up information about new spellings used in text communication on phones and computers etc. and most of what I found was fucking whinging about kids today being lazy and not knowing how to spell properly as if this were a modern fucking invention
there are differences and new things have been done with them that we didn't do much in the past with our telegraphs for example the numbers especially are clever
information, forewarned, today
but the idea was certainly not invented by 21st century children so pay respect to your elders who were far better at being incomprehensible than your kids today
when I get tired of my tiny telephone keyboard I'm going to write all my texts like this ]

and definitely not that shade of yellow its awful
it would have been easy in most cases because that color would match your blood
the quirk is you put time into choosing
text.
text.
in most accepted contexts we had very few methods of expressing individuality
sure it was a bit silly to type in convoluted and unique ways
but it was what we had
text.
text.
but it still mattered to us
so we never retired the practice
and now that im the only remnant of it left it somehow feels more important to continue
text.
[Or the only remnant anywhere, period?]
text.
we still have a few more survivors at home
[ For whatever definition of "home". ]
text.
I'm sorry.
[And he actually means that, genuinely and heartfelt.]
text.
Its alright
if ive even been good at anything its surviving
anyway so lets talk about something that isnt depressing
like what color of font youd choose if you could only use one
not black thats cheating
text.
text.
its the answer someone gives when they cant be bothered to think any more creatively than that
text.
cre8ive
[Just accidentally Vriska'ing here, nbd.]
text.
im not saying you have to use it forever
its like a game or a thought experiment
text.
text.
youre already typing in black and youre going to continue typing in black once this game has finished
so to give that as an answer wouldnt be playing at all
if youd like me to acknowledge that black is your first choice then consider it acknowledged
but what would your second choice be
text. OOC note that there's white text there, not a blank comment
text.
fuck that
only arseholes type in white
pick something else
text.
text.
youre the one who keeps trying to cheat!
youre not really meeting the game on its own terms but trying to subvert it
which im sure must be hilarious to you but come on its just a silly question asked in good faith
it wont kill you to meet it in similarly good faith
text.
text.
its a joke answer to take advantage of the fact that one is typing on a white background
typically used by self-important charlatans who think theyre so clever in making one highlight whatever lies they deem to share
there is no good faith in white
text.
text.
pick another color
