#i’m red green colorblind aka i have protanopia

[frostyblustar]

My colorblind ass: Yeah I don’t know what pink looks like-

Someone: OH MY GOD I’M SO SORRY THAT MUST BE TERRIBLE

My colorblind ass: …Do you guys miss private jets when you never had them in the first place? Sure you could want one, but do you miss it all the time?

Trying to comprehend this conversation while being colorblind is wild. Anyways heres what I see-

Discriminating against me because I see turquoise as green

How dare you, you monster, I can't believe you would do this to me

/very very silly

thats fucked up seriously

Greetings and salutations, young creator! May I inquire whether or not you have decided upon Sachie’s coloration? (eyes/hair (blond?)/skin)

Draw Might! You are here!

Ah yes... Yes I have.  Hair: Still Blonde. Though I will make the distinction here that it is more Bakugo blonde (Aka like Toga and Mt. Lady’s hair color) than All might blonde (Like Kaminari or Mirio. The more yellow blonde the show shows) and definitely not blonde like Camie (Which in my opinion has more tones of a super light brown and I can’t think of another character with a similar blonde right now.) I had thought about giving her and Schrodinger black hair at one point but ultimately decided against it because everyone sort of does the black cat thing. Calico Cats and other cats deserve their day in the spotlight.

Skin Tone: She’s got a tan. She tends to stick out in the sun for longer than she should. She has a bad habit of cat napping in sunny places and then getting burnt. Though she’s a bit paler in the winter season. She still manages to get sunburnt though.

Eye Color: I did describe this in the prologue but we will try to do a better job here. Her left eye is gold and her right eye is light brown almost amber color. I did decide that that was the better color combination than the frankly obvious blue and gold combo. 

I will also mention here that her eyes have some catlike attributes. Like the tapetum lucidum which allows cats to see better in dim light and darker conditions though not in complete darkness. That’s also why you see cat’s eyes glow in the dark. I imagine seeing human sized eyes doing so would be kind of startling. The other cat like thing her eyes do is the thing with the pupils where they can dilate super big or almost close entirely. So when she’s highly stressed her eyes appear super dilated but when she’s trying to be aggressive they the pupil will narrow in order to look more menacing. Though typically they tend to stay sort of in that standard look of this is a cat eye. 

One thing I discovered is that cats can see in color but it appears as though their ability to identify red is up for debate (they have been trained to identify distinguish blue, green and yellow). So they don’t  see entirely in monochrome. They are however very good at distinguishing between shades of gray. So I thought about maybe doing something similar for Sachie. So I looked into the different types of colorblindness and determined that that might be something called Protanopia which is the absence of red cones which makes it so you can’t detect red light. And after looking at this video it definitely seemed interesting but I’m not sure if I’m ultimately going to do it.

I guess this went into more detail than strictly necessary...

On Shuu’s Colorblindness

So, I’m not sure about the rest of you, but up until last night I was convinced that Shuu saw the world like this:

All black and white with red only where appropriate. It’s really poetic, sure, and I had accepted it as canon for nearly a year and a half now, but it wasn’t until like 3 am that I thought it was kinda unrealistic and looked it up. First, I found out that partial or total colorblindness can be caused later in life any way regular blindness can, by excessive UV exposure, old age, or, in the case of our murder partridge, extreme head trauma or injury to the eyes. Score. Then I had to do a little reading on how color vision works, and I’m not gonna lie, I didn’t understand most of the fancy words, but what I basically took out of it was: we have three types of cones in our eyes, s-cones to perceive short rays of light (blue), m-rods to perceive medium rays (green), and l-rods to perceive long rays (red). All colorblindness, including total colorblindness, or monochromia, is caused by one or more of those cone types missing or malfunctioning. But that doesn’t necessarily mean what you think it does. If you’re missing the red cones (protanopia/protanomoly), for instance, it doesn’t mean that you see other colors normally and shades of red are just grey. Having a missing or malfunctioning cone alters your perception of the entire spectrum of color, because the cones all rely on each other to shape the spectrum. If one doesn’t send back the right information, it completely skews the whole thing, so you might see something like this:

(A trichomat is someone with all three functioning cones, aka, someone with normal color vision)

So that means eliminating the blue and green cones doesn’t make for the only-red colorblindness we think of for Shuu, because the color spectrum will fill in anyway. In fact, two missing cones just makes for full monochromia. Instead, the best bet I could find for Shuu was tritanopia/tritanomoly, missing the green cone. That makes for something like this:

Everything has more of a reddish/pinkish tone and, yes, blue. It certain situations it can look like this, though

Which is much more like I expected. So in conclusion, Shuu can see more than one color, and his world isn’t as muted and gloomy as previously thought. In fact, it’s bright and pink! But well, it is a world in which birds can play pianos with their feathers, so maybe I shouldn’t take the realism so seriously, huh? That’s just my trichromatic, uneducated, google-searching opinion, take it with a grain of salt!
