The way I write, the curtains usually really are just blue. But that doesn't mean there's no symbolism or deeper meaning at all in seemingly mundane choices I make, it just means I think colour symbolism is generally bullshit.

I feel like "the curtains are just blue" is a weird summary of the argument that seemingly mundane choices in fiction carry no meaning, because it's taking like the most dogshit kind of symbolism and acting like that's what all symbolism is like.

Like no, there's no secret, universal code to what colours mean in art and literature (although that doesn't mean colour can't be significant). But there are other things that can have meaning. Hell, colour choices can have meaning. It's just not "Red is violence, blue is sadness, yellow is ambiguity" or whatever.

@BathysphereHat sometimes the word for a colour just sounds better.

@evan Right! And sometimes it's not so much symbolism as it is vibes. Sometimes it's "Hm, I feel like this character would have blue curtains, because they remind me of my grandmother, who loved blue decor" or whatever.

@BathysphereHat also, maybe your narrator doesn't know what the words cerulean or periwinkle mean. It's just blue. Blue-ish. Kinda blue. Kind of a weird blue.

@max sono gli stessi promotori che nelle esternazioni lo hanno affermato a chiare lettere, tanto Nordio quanto la Bartolozzi. Vorrei rammentarti che anche la lista oggetto di estrazione, pur se la compilazione e la scelta è teoricamente attribuita al Parlamento, sarà esclusiva del governo/maggioranza. Poi si può giustamente valutare gli effetti in base alla forma oppure in base all'uso strumentale. Scelta personale. Gli ultimi paragrafi del post da te condiviso mi sembra fughino ogni dubbio.

@carlux @QuasiMagia @sonicdebris Eh, sì, ma non è la rivoluzione di cui parla chi propone l'hype. :D

@evan LOL. They don't yet have anyone that they love so intensely that they are very interested to see them in concert, but when they do, I'll go to the end of the world for that.
I did take the older one to see the LEGENDARY Russian band Aquarium in Boston. I'm much more of their fan than he is, but I did use some of their quieter songs as lullabies when he was much younger, and he identified them. They are playing in Toronto and some other North American cities soon.

@dick_turpin @andyc @steevc just kidding! I had an option to log in with Mastodon early on, which I took.
