general thoughts about the 2025 小红书 boom

i feel like we're at a really interesting point in time right now, particularly in regards to the shift in american consciousness + changing world order, so i thought it would be fitting to document my thoughts about the xhs situation as a chinese american. however, please note this post is NOT speaking on behalf of any community, and i am only speaking to my own personal opinions.

the good

american propaganda is getting dismantled in real time. there's so much cross-cultural communication right now in relation to america's political issues, everyday life, and what china is really like

im already seeing people starting to learn the language, becoming interested in visiting china, etc. and i truly haven't seen this kind of mass interest in chinese culture in a long time

to be precise, the last time there was really "chinese soft power" in america was during the mid-to-late 2000s. notably this time period included the 2008 beijing olympics which was monumental for china on the global stage, as it showcased their prosperity, openness ("北京欢迎你"), and equal footing in the modern world. ive seen people compare the xhs phenomenon to this event and while both are drastically different, i do think this is an apt comparison (though obviously this xhs thing is on a muchhh smaller scale...)

so many new friendships and connections are being made!

the bad

to add on to what op said, theres definitely a difference between just generally understanding that as diaspora, most people around you will hold sinophobic views about china and chinese people VERSUS actually having empirical evidence that most normal people didn't see chinese people as human before. its jarring to say the least. like everyone is praising chinese people on xhs now, but just last week everyone was fearmongering about us?? really reminds you that in the eyes of the public, favor for any asian culture (and by extension, its people) is fleeting and will often change easily with the season

and yes, its definitely weird to see people talk about chinese people as if they've never seen a chinese person in america before. like obviously there's a HUGE difference between mainlanders and diaspora, but there's also international students that come to america to study so... ??

the memes are funny, and i like how the people on xhs are playing along with them, but something about the "chinese spy" memes rubs me the wrong way. tbh, most mainlanders actually have a positive view of westerners and america, and if they don't study abroad themselves or know anyone that went abroad, they will never truly understand what it's like to be discriminated against simply for being chinese (there's a difference between knowing and understanding ofc; not saying that they're ignorant & don't know anything lol). this is just the honest truth, just like how i'll never understand what it's like to live and grow up in mainland china since im diaspora. anyways, i kind of question if mainlanders are actually aware of the loaded context behind those words. while americans are using the "chinese spy" memes as jokes now in reference to why tiktok is getting banned, it doesn't change the fact that many other americans truly do believe that there is mass chinese surveilliance/planted chinese spies in america (i.e., see modern-day mccarthyism, like how chinese researchers are often stripped of their titles/reputations, interrogated, and then silently deported). like language and framing does matter, and it has actually affected chinese people in america, but now you guys are treating it like a joke?

anyways, even with all of the bad there's still overwhelming good that has come out of this, and i do feel like its better to be more positive than negative about these things in the long run! who knows where tomorrow will take us but at the very least i hope everyone actively continues pissing off the american government 💖 amen

Speculative Biology of Euclydians (and Bill Cipher) part 1

Part 2

We're doing this, babies!

This analysis is based on two assumptions:

Before Bill Cipher became a demigod, he was a biological, living organism and so were the rest of his species.

Even after Bill Cipher became a demigod, he still retained some physical characteristics of his biological form.

I will clearly specify which of his abilities are innate abilities of his species, which ones are definitely his divine abilities and which ones could be both.

This is part one. This analysis became VERY long, so I'll separate it into FIVE parts:

Part 1: What is Euclydia and what are Euclydians?

Part 2: How Euclydians function as animals? (This is where I explain how are they built, what their organs do, how they feed, move, speak etc.)

Part 3: Reproduction NSFW (this one I separated because it's NSFW. It'll be nothing explicit, but I doubt your boss would be thrilled if he found out that you're reading about how triangles fuck in your office)

Part 4: Growth and development (here I will also talk about Bill's deformity and Euclydean society)

Part 5: How Bill Cipher destroyed Euclydia and got his god like powers?

SO, without further ado:

What is Euclydia and what are Euclydians?

I'm gonna drop a bomb first.

Euclydia IS NOT a flat two dimensional plane. Before you load your shotguns, let me explain!

There are many proofs both in the Gravity Falls show and The Book of Bill that Euclydia isn't a flat plane like the imaginary two dimensional world from Flatland by Edwin A. Abbot.

The first one is actually Bill himself. Bill's species has complex camera lens type of eyes. Such eyes are possible in 2D world, but not on the front, like Bill has. He was born like that, so that is proof that Euclydia isn't 2D.

Next, when Bill is talking about his home in Weirdmageddon part 3, he shows an image of his home planet:

This planet has RINGS. That is COMPLETELY impossible in 2D. Even if the planet was completely flat, the rings would go through it. They would never be able to actually encircle this planet. So, if Euclydia was two dimensional, Bill's home planet would not be able to exist.

In the Book of Bill, we see image of Bill as a baby. In that image he's standing on some kind of field with grass and you can clearly see that there's grass in front of him and behind him, and that's impossible in 2D:

(also sorry for the shit quality of this pic)

But the best proof is that image from thisisnotawebsitedotcom.com that you get when you type VALLIS CINERIS in the computer. It shows Bill Cipher as a child with his parents. The parents are holding him in a manner that is completely impossible in 2D:

The image quality sucks, but you can clearly see that his parent's hands are IN FRONT OF him and he is also IN FRONT OF his parents. The position of "in front of" isn't possible in two dimensions and yet on this image the overlap happens many times. (I circled his parents' hands in red where they overlap with Bill and I circled him in blue where he overlaps with his parents. Bill's bow tie is also in front of him.).

With all that being said, what is Euclydia?

Well, just like Bill said, it's a flat world. Not two dimensional, but flat. The third dimension of Euclydia is limited somehow. Basically, in 3D, creatures are defined by 3 axis:

x axis is left and right (width)

y axis is up and down (height)

z axis is towards and away from (depth)

All three dimensional objects have both width, height and depth. Two dimensional objects have just width and height, so just x and y axis. And Bill has depth. It's a very limited depth, but it is depth nonetheless. So he's not really a triangle, more like a very thin pyramid. This is his side profile lmao:

So Euclydeans have some depth, but for whatever reason, they can't move on z axis. They can only move left, right, up and down. They also can't turn around.

This is how thisisnotawebsitedotcom.com explains Euclydian movements:

Two dimension to and fro, you always know which way to go. If you're lost, don't be afraid, in Euclydia you've got it made. Run too far right to right of frame, you'll appear on left again. Jump too high don’t cry or fret, pop up from the ground I bet. In this place, there is no fear, loved ones will be ever near. Roles and rules always flea/clear. Euclydia, we hold you dear.

So, if they move too far left, they'll come from the other side. This is actually something that in possible ONLY in non-euclidean geometry, which means that Euclydia, ironically, is a non-euclidean place. It's actually a sphere (or a similar elliptical body).

In non-euclidean geometry of the sphere, there exists something that sounds paradoxical: a straight line is actually a circle. But it's actually very easy to understand with this example:

Imagine that you're flying a plane in a straight line. You feel like you're going in a straight line, but your plane is actually following the curvature of the Earth. If you manage to fly around the entire Earth, you will appear on the same spot where you started flying. You were flying in a straight line, but because Earth is a non-euclidean sphere, you were actually flying in a circle. And both of those are true!

The plane is very very small compared to the size of the Earth. So, to the plane, Earth's curvature is so negligent that we could say that in a small radius around it the Earth is actually a flat plane. So, for example, houses, neighborhoods, even cities are built relying only on euclidean geometry (the geometry of a flat plane) because the Earth is so goddamn big.

And Euclydia is actually a whole fucking dimension. Let's say that our dimension is our universe. Our universe is approximately 93 billion light-years wide. So let's say that that's the size of Euclydia. How tiny is Earth compared to the Universe? That's why planets and everything else in Euclydia can be treated as a flat plane: every object is so small compared to the size of this giant sphere that the curvature could be completely omitted from the equation.

Now this is my theory, but I imagine that Euclydia looks like a giant soap bubble. Soap bubbles are made when two thin layers of soap molecules trap a thin layer of water:

Euclydia is the water - that thin layer is where all the planets, stars and living beings on them are located. That's why movement on z axis is so limited. The soap molecules are membranes that separate Euclydia from the other dimensions, one inside the bubble and one outside.

Since Euclydians can't move across z axis, they have eyes on their sides that can see only left and right. Their vision is limited to one dimension. But Bill's eye is located in a spot that allows him to see both left and right, but also up and down. He can see two dimensions, just like us! Here's a diagram I made, so you can understand better:

(there are stars outside too, but I didn't want to clutter this image more)

So, now that I've spent SO MUCH TIME explaining what is Euclydia, let me tell you what are Euclydeans.

Euclideans are animals (or their equivalent in their dimension). Animals are defined as multicellular heterotrophic organisms with an internal digestive tract. This basically means multicellular organisms that eat.

Euclydeans have to be multicellular because they have extremely complex structures such as: camera lens eyes, teeth, fingerprints, exoskeleton and so on. These traits cannot be achieved by a unicellular organism. And they definitely eat their food, we've seen Bill do it. So they are (their dimension's equivalent of) animals.

And how they function? What type of animal are they? Well, see you at part two, if this didn't bore you to death already!

Thank you to @forseenconsequences @extremereader and @ok1237 for asking me to do this. Hope you like it, guys!

The Great Papyrus! (A long essay on my favorite skeleton)

By Papyrology specialist LofiJellyDreamer08643

0.) Introduction *Skippable*

I like Papyrus. A lot. So I wanted to write an essay for him! To show people how cool he is ^-^ I know that not a lot of people will actually read the whole thing ._. but I still hope that if you do read this, you learn something cool and have fun! :D

***This will be an extremely long info dump [over 3000 words] so prepare yourself. Mostly all information presented comes directly from the canon game and other canon resources like the news letters. I have done all research myself and have sited outside sources when needed at the bottoms of the sections they apply to. There are some headcanons in here but they don’t go without evidence to support them. Thank you, and have fun reading!***

1.) Papyrus is very mysterious. 

Despite me writing this entire long-as-crap info dump on him, we surprisingly don’t actually know that much about Papyrus. Like, of course we know about his personality (Or DO WE!? Part 4, exhibit B) and how he is a kind person. And we know some of his likes and dislikes. We know he is the brother of Sans and that he is very cool. And we know…? Is that it? Just surface level information? That can’t be all! But it kind of is. Think about it. We don’t know anything about Papyrus’s past. We don’t know what he did before training for the royal guard, or what his life before Snowdin was like (aside from the very cryptic “green grass” mentioned in a news letter). We don’t have much information to work with. And for a character with the most lines of dialogue in game (2,184 to be exact), he surprisingly doesn’t talk about himself that much. Even in the Asriel battle where all the characters basically pour out their hearts and innermost feelings, Papyrus… doesn’t actually say that much. Just that he “MUST CAPTURE A HUMAN! THEN EVERYONE WILL…” and that’s it. He doesn’t pour out his feelings like the others. He just… stays quiet. (There is an interesting post about this made by [insert person here] linked at the end of this section). This says a lot about Papyrus’s character and how much we really know about him. Despite this, we can still gain a lot of in game information on him as well as get info from some of the Undertale newsletters. 

2.) Papyrus might be one of the most powerful monsters in the Underground. 

Papyrus’s battle is only the second boss battle we encounter in game so it’s relatively easy. However, the evidence I have shows that Papyrus might actually be one of the strongest monsters in the Underground!

Exhibit A: The basics of power in the Underground. **This is skippable if you already know this stuff*

To give a refresher on how monster strengths works in the Underground, here’s a short synopsis. Papyrus is a boss monster, obviously. That automatically makes him unique power wise, in battle. He and Sans also have the ability to change your soul color, which is something that only very powerful monsters do. A small thing to note too in Undertale is that the further you are into the game the more difficult the battles will be. This is not a defining factor in strength, but it’s important to remember. 

Exhibit B: Papyrus never moves in battle.

This topic has actually already been discussed by many people so I will just reiterate the main points and a few of my own. 

If you play Papyrus’s battle you might notice that the entire way through he does not move at all. Like at all. He does not even move his mouth when he speaks even though he clearly does this for every other time he appears! This lack of movement is interesting considering how battles work. 

See, each monster you battle in Undertale moves in some way. You can see a pattern of movement where depending on the amount of effort that’s given, the more that monster will move around. For example, Napstablook! Our favorite little depressed ghost doesn’t really want to fight (even having a non-attack saying “not feeling up to it”) so there’s not much movement except for the eyes quivering. On the opposite end of this, is Undyne. She WANTS to kill you BADLY (especially in the genocide battle). She moves a ton in her battle as she tries to take your soul, hair blowing in the wind, bobbing up and down in her battle stance. The Asriel battle is another prime example. He is using all of his power to fight, flying around at the speed of sound and waving his arms. 

Now, as stated before, Papyrus does not move. At all. Not even to speak He does not want to fight you. Yet he still has a fairly difficult battle, (he even just lets you pass if you fail too many times). All of this implies that he is holding back and using minimal strength to fight you. 

***Here is a link to a helpful and short YouTube video by Betina Levy from some tumblr posts that have a lot of the information I’ve already discussed. (Love you Betina! You’re cool!)***

~ https://youtu.be/S_Fas0QkWic ~

Exhibit C: Papyrus will not kill you. 

Everyone that’s played or seen a play through of Undertale knows that Toriel will purposely miss you if your HP is 3 points or below. However, you can in fact still die to Toriel of you do it right (or wrong I guess). The fact that Papyrus is literally the only monster you physically can’t die to in game unless you hack or have a glitch shows again the crazy amount of control Papyrus has over his attacks. He can even alter the amount of damage an attack has while he’s attacking. He knows precisely how strong each bullet should be and how much you, the player, can take. He purposely holds back so that you can have a chance at beating him. He knows exactly what he’s doing. 

Exhibit D: Papyrus is 20 times stronger than Sans. 

This is an under-appreciated fact that isn’t thought of so much (at least from what I’ve seen). Sans only has one attack and one defense while Papyrus has 20 attack and defense. This means that Papyrus is literally twenty times stronger than Sans. The implications of this are HUGE. We can also add Gaster Blasters to the equation. Papyrus has a special attack that is never seen in game, taken by the Annoying Dog (Toby Fox) and replaced with a cool. If you abort a genocide run at Papyrus’ battle and then go to talk to him in his room, he will mention  how his attack would have surely “blasted”. This is very deliberate wording, which implies that Papyrus can, in fact, use Gaster Blasters. 

There is also the fact that Papyrus’s stats change based on what route you choose. In genocide, he has 3 attack and defense. This creates the theory that perhaps Papyrus can change his level at will. I do enjoy the implications of this theory, though it’s also just as likely that the stats are lower due to his soul being weakened from fear (since a monster’s soul and magic are intertwined and can be affected by factors like emotions).

Exhibit E: Papyrus can literally bend the laws of physics.

Dawg I swear I had evidence i just gotta remember 😭 plz believe meeee 🙏😭

3.) Papyrus's sleeping habits. 

In the UT fandom is a head canon that only Sans has nightmares. However, if you go to Hotland to one of the conveyer belt rooms

Papyrus will comment on how a conveyer belt with lasers sounds like his least favorite nightmare. This implies that Papyrus could have nightmares and often. (You could also use Flowey’s “Your Best Nightmare” theme and how Flowey is connected to Papyrus, but this is more artistic speculation than actual evidence in my opinion.)

This also lines up with the theory/head canon that Papyrus is an insomniac. The first glimpse we have of Papyrus not sleeping normally is in the Snowdin forest when you encounter the electricity maze. Papyrus comments to Sans, "YOU LAZY BONES! YOU WERE NAPPING ALL NIGHT!" to which Sans replies, " think that's called... sleeping.” This shows that Papyrus was likely up all night. And given his tone and the context, this is not the first time. We get another example of Papyrus not sleeping properly when we learn of his first encounter with Undyne. He woke her up at midnight to talk to her and stayed right in front of her door - awake and presumably with some energy - until morning. There are other examples of Papyrus's sleeplessness in the phone calls with Undyne. Calling back to the electricity maze, Papyrus once again comments how Sans is "NAPPING HIMSELF INTO AN EARLY GRAVE" by sleeping for at least 7 hours a night (the recommended amount of sleep per night).

Undyne makes a similar statement to Sans’ by asking Papyrus, "Wait, isn't that just called sleeping?" leaving Papyrus slightly annoyed that Undyne is taking Sans’s side. Another Undyne/Papyrus call tells us that Papyrus himself says that he is too busy to sleep.

Now you could say it's just Papyrus being stubborn and putting in 110% like he normally would, but that's another thing. He ALWAYS puts in 110% all the time. If Papyrus thinks sleeping at night is lazy and staying up all night is okay, then it would make sense for him to not sleep that much. Pairing this with the nightmares theory, I  believe Papyrus is an insomniac.

(There is also evidence for Sans being an insomniac, or at least a former insomniac, too. But we’re not talking about Sans right now!)

4. Papyrus is pretty smart.

The fandom paints Papyrus in this innocent and ignorant little cinnamon bun way, when in reality, he actually knows a lot more than we think at first glance. He is very psychologically complex (which I know is a strange way to word it but it's the best way I can describe it) and very very interesting. 

Exhibit A: Papyrus is hilarious. 

This is a weird way to start this section BUT hear me out. Puns. That’s supposed to be Sans’s thing, right? In the skelebros introduction sequence, Sans is the one making all the funny jokes and Papyrus hates them. But look at the intro again. Papyrus is smiling at the puns. At the end before he leaves, Papyrus actually makes a skeleton pun himself, saying, “PUT A LITTLE MORE BACKBONE INTO IT!! NYEH HEH HEH!” This pun is often over looked by those in the UT community. But this is also not the only pun Papyrus makes. Sans makes a total of 6 puns while Papyrus makes a total of 14, over double that of Sans! I’m bringing all this up to say that sometimes the playful word humor of Papyrus often gets overshadowed by Sans, but really, both brothers are funny in their own ways!

(I also want to talk a bit about Papyrus’s physical jokes just because. Things like having different and silly clothes and jumping out windows are so fun and entertaining! I just really love him ;v;)

Exhibit B: Papyrus may know about the space time shenanigans. 

I think the best example of this section is when you unlock Sans' room. When he finds you in the dark, he says, and I quote, "IS SANS PRANKING YOU ACROSS TIME AND SPACE AGAIN!?" This literally proves that Papyrus has some awareness about RESETS and that a situation similar to this has happened before. 

Another interesting thing that goes with this is the fact Papyrus is friends with Flowey, who happens to have a lot of experience with timeline RESETS. Flowey could have easily told Papyrus about the alternate timelines and things like that during his runs and at the beginnings of ours. During the Grillby hangout with Sans we do learn that Flowey gives Papyrus "predictions".

Even if he doesn't exactly remember the timelines themselves, he still must have some understanding that they exist. 

Exhibit C: The fact that Papyrus changes his personality based on who he is around.

Yes, this is a canon fact proven by the Undertale art book. There are also plenty of examples of this in the actual game.

An obvious one is when you call Papyrus and Undyne in Grillby's. We all know Papyrus's stance on grease and how he finds it gross, but once Undyne starts spouting her love of greasy food, suddenly Papyrus finds such foods to be quite tasteful. It's obvious to us that he is lying, but Undyne doesn't seem to notice and it's interesting that he does this anyway. People often change the way they act around certain friends or people, that’s normal. But the way Papyrus does it is more extreme. Like he’s never really being his true self. 

The most interesting part of this is the way Papyrus acts around his own brother, Sans. At first glance, it looks like Papyrus is just the innocent and funny younger brother that knows nothing of the world. At least Sans seems to think so. In the first encounter Frisk has with both Sans and Papyrus, Papyrus explains what will happen when he captures you but conveniently leaves out the part where you die and have your soul taken because he "doesn't know". Take note that he says this around Sans. Now, after Papyrus's battle, Papyrus starts explaining how to get out of the Underground. He mentions that only someone with a powerful soul can get past the barrier and that's why Asgore wants to capture a human and kill them to take their soul to break the barrier. In Waterfall when you have Papyrus's number, Papyrus recognizes that Undyne wants to murder Frisk. He knows she wants to take their soul. But wait, didn't Papyrus just say he had no idea what happened to a captured human when he was with his brother? But that's exactly the point. He was with his brother.

There’s also the “Laboratory Labrador-y” situation. In a Papyrus call outside Alphys’s lab where Sans is present, Papyrus gets confused about what a lab is and Sans has to try explaining. But call inside the lab and, lo and behold, Papyrus knows plenty about labs and their scientific applications, even calling out that Sans would love the real science fiction! Speaking of Sans, notice how he isn’t present in the phone call? 

I could go on with tons more examples of this personality switch up, but I think the most damning evidence is the King Papyrus ending where, in front of his brother, Papyrus is all fine and dandy, but once Sans is gone, he outright says, "is Sans gone? You know... don't tell my brother, but...” and proceeds to lament about how much he misses Undyne and how being king is actually really hard and how everyone is starting to give up and it's making him sad. It's a really sad thing, but why wouldn't Papyrus tell his own brother his true feelings? Of course there are tons of theories and headcanons, like Papyrus pretending to be more useless so that his depressed brother can have meaning in his life, and Papyrus keeping secrets from Sans so he doesn't worry about him or something. It's all up for debate though.

Exhibit D: Papyrus and death. 

As spoken about before, Papyrus obviously knows what death is and does still fear dying to some extent. But it’s still interesting to see his reaction to his and other’s deaths. 

Now first I want to start off with the genocide run. If you abort the run by sparing Papyrus, he will acknowledge that he was a little afraid that you would kill him and continues on to talk about how he’s glad you had a change of heart. It’s sweet to see how his optimism is shown in this example and how he can see the best in people no matter what, even if it’s a little naive. 

But there is a more interesting direction to his real concern in the matter. In a neutral run battle with Papyrus, if you kill him, he has this humorous quip. “ALAS, POOR PAPYRUS.” *Quoting Macbeth as his head falls off* “AT LEAST I STILL HAVE MY HEAD!” Then he dies. Um, dude. You just got your head punched off (because you totally used the worn glove). And you’re making a joke about it? Perhaps he’s in shock? Well, I believe the true reason behind his fear isn’t necessarily for his own life. It’s the life of other monsters in the Underground, and the wellbeing of the human. Papyrus’s life from his perspective can be compared to more of a tool that, if spared, can be the catalyst for the human to take a new, better path in life. Papyrus doesn’t seem to care much for his own life in this moment outside of other people. This is explored a bit more in other parts of the game too, especially for neutral endings. 

A smaller example of Papyrus’ stance on death is in Hotland. On the stage after Mettaton’s play, if you go back and call Papyrus and Undyne, the two will discuss our dance with Mettaton and Undyne will bring up how it was nothing compared to the dance with death she and the human had earlier. Papyrus will make the off handed comment, “I WANT TO MEET DEATH...” Now of course, this is all part of the joke of death as a person, but it’s still a bit concerning to hear your friend say that they want to meet death. That ellipsis at the end of the sentence is also a bit off putting if you ask me. 

Exhibit E: Papyrus is an optimist (and that’s not easy.)

No. Papyrus is not an idiot. He knows when people are lying to him, he knows about death, and he isn't completely blind to the terrible realities that can occur in the world. The truth is that Papyrus is just an optimistic person. He is kind and brave at heart. And I feel like that’s really underrated! 

To be an optimist in a setting like the Underground is hard. Limited space, overpopulation, being imprisoned by circumstances out of the your control. A lot of people in the Underground have simply accepted the hopeless outlook to life and society that they’re just gonna suffer forever. But Papyrus? He knows things seem hopeless. But he will not give up. He will not fall into this hopelessness because life without hope, to put it simply, sucks! 

Papyrus’s optimism is something that brings life to the Underground. Without it, things feel off. Even the neutral endings that have Papyrus dead are arguably some of the worst ones. Papyrus really cares and will do his best not to lose hope no matter the circumstances. That takes guts and courage and a ton of positivity. It’s honestly really amazing. 

5.) Conclusion.

In conclusion, Papyrus is cool as heck. But seriously, I really love this guy (if you couldn’t already tell by the 3000+ word info dump/analysis I made). His characterization is really interesting and there are a lot cool quirks and facts to learn. Like all the characters, Undertale wouldn’t be the same without him. Papyrus is a great character and it’s nice to appreciate how well written and cool he is. If you made it this far, I just want to thank you for reading this. I think it’s cool that you like Papyrus too!

6.) Extra fun facts. 

Papyrus only uses “warm up” attacks in his fight. 

Papyrus has never eaten spaghetti. He just makes it for others because he thinks they like it. His favorite food is dinosaur eggs and oatmeal. 

Papyrus’ symbol on his battle body armor is a reference to the starmen in Earthbound. 

Papyrus’s “Battle Body” is a Halloween that he thought was cool and never took off. He wasn’t invited to this party, Sans was and he took Papyrus along. 

He is the founder and only member of the Flowey Fan Club.

Papyrus likes kiwi on pizza.
