Making jokes about Noir being colorblind/not understanding colors is how we cope with how unbelievably powerful his brain is

Tonight we did an early birthday dinner with some friends. Our friends Katie and Alex are always immaculately dressed.

As we were leaving they got complimented on their outfits and Alex said, “Yeah, I’m colorblind so I just leave all the choices to Katie and try to match her.” He gestured to the beautiful brocade vest he was wearing and said, “Although silver goes with everything.”

There was a pause as the group processed that. After a beat I reached out to squeeze his shoulder and said, “Alex, that vest is gold.”

Colorblind challenge ft. the ringmaster of the ever

honestly I dunno what I was fretting about with the whole "unrecognizable palette", this turned out surprising really well and... consistent?? (which shouldn't be a total surprise as this WAS my second attempt at the challenge)

I really like how this turned out, reminds me a bit of the difference filters I would put on my art if I'm feeling E X T R A, so ig this would be a challenge complete? Unless you count my laziness to put a substantial amount of palettes to use as a "fail", which I totally did not cut the amount "required" in half because I didn't really need that many + I could NOT be bothered today

here's the unedited image + palettes I chose from

They're judging their sibling's life decisions, and they are not impressed.

(And to think Jason and Dami have pit-madness in their system)

Some Mabels

This one was revealed to me in a vision

[pointandshooter]

I went out to the Shenandoah Valley to see if I could see the auroras last night. Being colorblind, I didn't notice any, so I decided to just take a few pictures of Betelgeuse and Orion and then go home. My wife pointed out the auroras to me when I showed her my photos.

'down bad' is a severe understatement...

AU where everything is the same but Siffrin is the only one who can see colors and the entire time he's trying to guess why people call red and green the same shade when they're entirely different

he thinks that colors = shades but he doesnt know that no one else cant see colors so he's constantly confused but trying his best to fit in like a puffin

Isa: I like this shade Mira: Ooh like mine? Isa: Yeah!

Siffrin, staring at two wildly different colors in front of him: ?????

On Splinter and Colors

I know we all joke about Splinter giving the red-eared slider the nickname Blue and I agree that it is indeed a peak troll dad move, but consider-

This is what we see of the baby turtles in Goyles Goyles Goyles

And this is the same picture put through a colorblind filter showing protanomaly, or red deficiency

Through deuteranomaly, green deficiency

And through protanopia, total red blindness

Yeah, makes sense why Leo might be Blue.

(there's green blindness and blue deficiency/blindness as well, but Leo's eye bananas still looked red in those)

If you haven't gotten to high school physics yet or have forgotten that lesson: we have three cones in our eyes that respond to light of different wavelengths, perceiving the color red, green, and blue respectively. All the colors you perceive are a mixture of these cones receiving light and yelling at you. (except for purple, purple's kind of weird) (as is black and white, and magenta, and-there are a lot of non-spectral colors, actually) Color blindness occurs when one or more cones is bad at its job or not working, resulting in the eye having difficulty perceiving that wavelength or not being able to see it altogether.

Now, considering he did give another child Red, he most likely can tell some shades apart. So I doubt he's completely red-blind. But it's very possible that he's red-weak or green-weak colorblind and literally saw Leo as having blue stripes as an infant, because they were in a shade he had trouble seeing.

This could also explain why he wore yellow-tinted glasses. They might have literally helped him see better by filtering everything to a wavelength he could see more comfortably at.

But, you ask, why didn't the name 'red-eared slider' tip him off? Splinter's not a native English speaker. He's fluent, but it's his second language and it is very different from his first. English is a confusing and often contradictory language, so even if he realized that red-eared was meant to refer to the markings around their ears that were red-well, what does he know? English came up with all sorts of weird, misleading names for things. The black mamba isn't actually black, goldfish can come in all sorts of colors, and there's a frog called the mountain chicken. Who is he to argue?

It's about time people started losing it for your modern au, just wait for them to find out about all the little details ;)

Also gd is the Lamb secretly a bull? Bc they love red flags so much they run straight at them (with Narinder being a walking red flag ofc)

"Lia Thomas is not banned from swimming. Lia Thomas is banned from a category Lia Thomas doesn't qualify for. I'm banned from swimming in the under 12's, because I'm not under 12. You know, we have heavyweight boxers that are banned from the bantamweight category. We have numerous categories in the Paralympics to create fair opportunity across society. That is the whole point of categories. Nobody is banned [from competing], you're just banned from a category you don't qualify for." - Sharron Davies
