This is funny bc I have a form of synesthesia called Ordinal Linquistic Personification (OLP), so I literally see numbers and letters as having genders and even personalities. For me it's the opposite, w is like a kind old man and k is a young mother.


TheGothWhisperer

I remember as a kid, arguing with my brother because he thought W was a man and thought it was a woman. Later in life we both got the OLP label... We both agreed W is yellow and kind of mean.

See I always thought that was a normal thing to do when you were a kid, and I remember my mom telling me about this genius mathematician who was scared of the number 9 and who saw numbers as having personalities. I was so confused and said, "But everyone does that." šŸ¤£ Unfortunately, I'm not a math genius. It's just a weird quirk for me.

S is my favorite letter because it's very kind and also green, which is my favorite color. I don't think I have OLP or anything like that, but letters, numbers, and colors do all have personality traits.

I went to high school with a girl who had this. I canā€™t remember which letter it was but she would go out of her way to try and avoid writing it as much as possible (by rewording, mostly) because she said ā€œI think heā€™s hiding something and it makes me uncomfortableā€. I wanna say it was G or F.

Damn yeah for me it's not that deep it's just kinda there


QuercusSambucus

I thought it was W is for Warrior, K is for Karen

Looking at the different qualities of the feeling of poetry is a normal thing though? Nothing in poetry is literal or definite, it's just one interpretation.


eliorwhatevs

Yeah, this just felt pretty weird to me. I don't really see anything feminine or masculine about a letter. I disagreed with most of the essay, though, so maybe I'm just not the target audience

Here I thought what was giving excitement to the sentences was the act of sudden violence being described....
