Oh, Thursday. Thursday, Thursday, Thursday, Thursday, Thursday. What more
can I say about Thursday, and how many times am I going to say Thursday? A
Thursday by any other name would smell just like crap, because I think roses
smell like crap, and Thursdays don’t smell like anything at all, but perhaps
that’s only because I have an underdeveloped olfactory system. What was I
talking about again? That’s right, Thursdays. Again? Yes. I don’t remember
you talking much about Thursdays before. I mentioned it once in the post I
posted three weeks and three days ago, called Called it Hustling, but
it wasn’t on a Thursday when I said it. How do you remember that? By the
power of Thursday, and Thur’s hammer. Okay. I also mentioned Tuesday. Now
are you gonna go on and on about Tuesday? I would only do that if it were
Saturday. Wat?! Here’s the thing. I finished all of my work for the day,
which I can’t tell you about, because it’s all still confidential, and I
can’t tell you about really anything else. The smoll borbs don’t care if I
talk about them, but there’s nothing going on with them. My therapist had to
skip our session yesterday for personal reasons, so I can’t get real candid
about my mental health either. Or maybe I can, and I am, because I keep
talking about Thursdays. Why am I doing that? Why am I spiraling? Because I
learned something interesting today...at least interesting by your world’s
standards.
Where I’m from, we have seven days of the week, and most of them are named
after gods. Monday is named after the moon, and obviously Sunday the sun. I
won’t get into details, because I don’t remember it well enough, but I do
remember Thursdays, because it’s named after Thor, and Thor is not only a
Norse god, but also characters from two of my favorite franchises. These
aren’t coincidences either, they too are named after the original
mythological figure. Why is this important? Well, because in order to tell
you about any of these characters, I would indeed have to recite them from
memory, because they do not exist in your world. Your history did not have a
Norse religion, and never came up with Thor Odinson. So let me ask you
this...why the hell did you name this day Thursday!? Huh?!?
HUH!?! Why do you call it Thursday!?!?!?!/1 Where exactly do you
think that word comes from? I tried to research it, but I can’t get an
answer. All of the days of your week match mine, but with absolutely none of
the historical value. I went deeper down this rabbit hole too, and it only
got worse. January is named after Janus, March after Mars. July and August
are named after famous historical figures who were never born here either.
What about the planets? Samesies, young Padawan. The people who devised
these systems were polytheistic, so that’s what was important to them.
Language isn’t something that some dude just randomly came up with one day.
It’s a constant evolution of phonemes, graphemes, and morphemes; smashed
together and mixed up after coming into contact with other languages, and
being updated with slang, or altered by ignorance or illiteracy. If you
never had a Thor, how come you gave him a day? Thursday, Thursday,
THURSDAY, THURSDAY, TTHHUURRSSDDAAYY!! I can’t explain it, not if I
know my bulkverse rules, which I do. You see, there are different kinds of
universes. Some are stable, some are unstable. Some are small, some are big.
They’re all real, but they are not equal, and you, my good
friends...are not built to last. I need to get out of here if I want to
survive. It could happen any day now.
