✰┆Alright, I think I have made up my mind for what to ask today. Whenever I read the Chittr feed, I see all of these unconventional characters and words and symbols used. Sometimes there is a button with what I know to be an eyeball one that removes some of it and puts the text in a more conventional and readable format. I wonder why it is that many of this site’s users input their text with all of these flourishes? I also wonder if for some there is an unconventional method to inputting the text, since for some users who have yellow text, it appears they are clearly making inputs from reading their posts. Sorry if this a very long post. Please answer my question, Chittr!
It's m6stly a tr6ll thing, I believe. Alth6ugh us leprechauns als6 use them. They're called "typing quirks," and they're pretty much exactly what it says 6n the tin. A quirk in the way we type! I pers6nally use sixes instead 6f Os. I'm n6t really sure where it started, th6ugh, 6r why s6me tr6lls have such difficult-t6-read 6nes. Thankfully, this website has typing quirks built in, and p6sts can be "de-quirked" if y6u have tr6uble understanding them, by pressing that little eyeball butt6n. I'm n6t sure what the situati6n is with the g6ldbl66ds, th6ugh. S6me s6rt 6f psi6nic thing, perhaps?
✰┆I see! So it is mostly cosmetic or some sort of self-expression? Some trolls must be very passionate about expressing themselves then. :^O Also, psionic?
It's a little bit 6f b6th, I think. But psi6nics are... s6mething n6t even I understand, really. S6me g6ldbl66ds have psychic abilities 6f s6me s6rt, called psi6nics. They seem t6 be electric in nature, I think? And they can be h66ked up t6 machines and c6mminicate thr6ugh them. It's all terribly c6mplicated.
✰┆How interesting!! :^D I suppose I also have some psychic abilities but it seems that the psionics you describe are quite different. I think I ought to ask one of these ‘goldblood’ trolls directly about it. Though, if they are able to be directly connected to machinery in such a way, maybe that would explain the outwardly visible commands and such. Surely they must be able to interface with it normally as well, though? They cannot be attached to those machines forever, after all.
Y6u w6uld assume they w6uld, but I've heard s6me st6ries. Tr6lls can be scary.
