all of the vegapunks speak quite distinctly, and from what i’ve seen, they all use different personal pronouns with different levels of formality! going in order from what we’ve seen so far:

1: shaka speaks quite formally (for a man, which i’m loosely assuming he is)- he uses watashi as his personal pronoun, which places him in a neutral/formal spot, and uses kimi to address the strawhats (which is somewhat diminuitive/maybe a little condescending) but omae to address dragon (conclusion: ???).

2: lilith speaks like a stereotypical old man- she uses washi as her personal pronoun and the masculine omae as her ‘you’ pronoun, and tends to use ja as her sentence-ending copula instead of da.

3: edison speaks kansai-ben (though i don’t know enough to say if it’s a specific subdialect)- he self-references with wai, which is a dialectal variant of the washi pronoun that lilith uses, and ends his sentences with ya in place of the regular da.

4: pythagoras is, from what we’ve seen so far, the most polite of the satellites- he’s the only one to consistently use polite verb forms.

5: atlas speaks probably the most aggressively, which suits her general demeanor but is very incongruous with her actual appearance- she uses the masculine ore for her first-person pronoun and omae for ‘you.’

6: haven’t really seen york speak yet besides, like, noises.

The nature of human beings

Man is mortal by his fears and immortal by his desires. Pythagoras Deep, isn't it? With this phrase, PYTHAGORAS unveils one of the most interesting human characteristics: fear, which is capable of “killing” your capabilities, attitudes and more; and also desire, that is, the ability to dream more, which has no limit, makes us immortal.

I'm gonna hold your hand when I tell you this but you know Pythagoras?

The guy known for this math formula?

Well people in the ancient world thought he was either the son of Apollo or Apollo himself. He had a massive cult following and a golden thigh!

He's also named after Apollo under his Python epithet because just like how the oracle of Delphi is known as the Pythia, Pythagoras himself also had python in his name in reference to Apollo slaying the Python.

stumbled across bbc atlantis on iplayer and holy shit. this show was something. they crammed it so full of recogniseable figures from greek mythology like medusa, hercules, the minotaur and then said "oh yeah and pythagoras is here too. the guy with the triangle theory. he is also here. and he's traumatised and autistic". then in the second season they said "oh, he's gay and his boyfriend is icarus btw"

they made a highly famous mathematician into an overly anxious gay loser and then, to quote that one post about dead boy detectives, they tossed him at tumblr like a wedding bouquet

It seems like whenever people think of Pythagoras, they think about math. But do they ever think about other things, like how, upon arriving in Croton, Greece, Pythagoras' first advice to its citizens was to build a shrine to the Muses?
