#we're in the same boat babe i too am forcing myself to stay up so i write

[ohbo-ohno]

dont have to answer but i'm fighting sleep right now to get a few more scenes done on fics

i'd love to hear more about this arch nemesis of yours the blue curtains?

oh LMAO i was talking about this old tumblr post that goes around and resparks discourse every once in a while!

it drives me craaaaazy bc i love love love to overanalyze things and pick apart every single line. also my mother is an english teacher so i grew up surrounded by literary analysis and things of the sort lol, i was learning about color symbolism from her in like early elementary school

also as a writer it's like. if the curtains are called out as specifically blue, that's for a reason. if they were just telling you the curtains are there, they'd say "the curtains were drawn" or smth. the fact that the color blue is specifically noted is intentional, and the author wouldn't have included it if there wasn't a purpose - especially when you're reading smth that's being analyzed in an english class, so it's usually some higher level stuff!! the curtains are never just blue!!!

anyways, people usually quote this post as a sort of "ugh you're looking into it too much" thing and i just think thats Boring
