Red isn’t real. Like you think it is but it’s not. It’s just light doing whatever it wants and your eyes are like “yeah okay that’s red” but who told your eyes they were right? Nobody. You look at a strawberry and it’s like “oh that’s red” but maybe it’s just pretending. Maybe everything that’s red is just a bunch of stuff trying to trick you. Fire trucks? Liars. Tomatoes? Just smooth red lies. The color red probably doesn’t even show up to work half the time, it just lets your brain do the heavy lifting. And what even is a color anyway? Like how do we know red isn’t just green wearing a really convincing hat? You ever close your eyes and try to remember red? You can’t. You get like… dark red? Dream red? That’s not even a color, that’s just brain static. Red might be a prank. Like someone just picked a color and went “let’s make this one mean stop signs and love and rage” and everyone else was like “yeah that makes sense” but it doesn’t. Nothing about it makes sense. Red’s just a rumor. I don’t miss red, there is no red. The red is a lie.
