that


okay thats a new one
is anyone like compiling a list or something
i dont want more people poking into my life but
someone already has

[divine_braid]

Ha! There ya go.

[truedetective]

It is something of a




work in progress

[longwei2go]

whats that supposed to mean

[truedetective]

It means it's a work in progress.

How do you know what color your eyes are? Or were, before. Did they feel blue?

Reality may not be able to be altered, but perhaps perception can.

[longwei2go]

did they
feel
blue

are you high

im not right now and i know they were blue because im staring at photos
MY PROFILE HAS THEM AS BLUE

[ or it should be but eh. it's tiny and was never altered. ]

[truedetective]

I hope you realize that in your irritation you've proven my point. There's no inherent quality to your eyes that makes them blue, or purple, or what have you.

What if the color of your eyes hasn't changed, but you now perceive them as purple? Would it be so different from people perceiving horses as giant birds?

[longwei2go]

thats not the same
i pet and fed baby chocobos that day
everywhere horses disappeared

or are you trying to say
they were never real

[longwei2go]

fuck now that i said it i cant unhear the song
should make that my next cover

[divine_braid]

Go for it. Would you do it in the same style or change it up?

[longwei2go]

id improvise a bit
its just so fucking boring otherwise
but what angry white boy music isnt

[rebellions]

i'll take your word for it

[The prank part. The jury's still out on the eyes color business.]

so what you're saying is
another of the weird-ass shit that's been happening lately?
horses, hallucinations, and now this crap?

[longwei2go]

hell idk
probably
no idea if its related but if i can blame this on those same assholes as the app
sure why not

[divine_braid]

Hey now... what do you have against angry white boys?

[starfruitfrog]

I saw some people asking about it, but I haven't seen a list or anything. Maybe we could make one and just let people add to it.

[longwei2go]

if someone wants to organize that im all for it

[rebellions]

i can buy the app causing hallucinations or w/e
and that's a stretch
but changing eye color
that's some sci-fi level bullshit

[longwei2go]

idk how they do it
but its pretty funny that this shows up on all our phones and computers
without asking
when they sponsored the beads at the fair
the same time all horses were replaced with giant chickens
and were the only people that can tell it happened

it isnt a conspiracy if their actually out to get you

[longwei2go]

just that their everywhere
and they all sound the same

[truedetective]

The chocobos are clearly real by any way we have to measure it. We can interact with them, touch them, see them. But our memory of horses is less clear. After all, there are no horses here in front of us just now. What if the ones who don't remember horses are correct, and our memories are the false ones? In other words, what if your eyes were always this color, and your memory that they were blue is a fabrication?

[longwei2go]

because its on my birth certificate
because everyone always said i had my dads eyes
and his are blue too

the whole thing about horses being fake is whats out of this world
i remember horse head masks vines and memes
now their replaced by rubber chocobo heads
memes dont just vanish overnight
the internet never forgets

[truedetective]

But you remember watching those videos. You remember hearing those comments. Everything before now, before this very conversation, is a memory.

And memories, as we've seen, have been vulnerable to change.

[longwei2go]

so basically the world right now is like that one weird al song
everything you know is wrong

[truedetective]

I apologize, I don't recognize that reference.

[longwei2go]

okay hang on

here you go


[ or there's just lyrics to make the point. ]
