Or, to ask it another way: would it be as convincingly ridiculous to ask why the curtains are electric pink with yellow polka dots? Or if the curtains were traffic safety cone orange?

#mine are red and sort of velvety and I don't think what they say about me is particularly mysterious #(they also sold themselves as blackout curtains but uhh that is NOT true so my room is bathed in red light every afternoon and evening)

Okay. So if I were writing a story and included that detail about your curtains, I would choose that to illustrate a frustrating / oppressive living situation for my protagonist (Someone who wants and needs to moments of shutting out influence from Society, in order to get some respite and peace, but their best attempt only leads that sanctuary to be bathed in the color of anger).

The Decemberists - Eli, the Barrow Boy 2005

The Decemberists are an American indie rockband from Portland, Oregon, formed in 2000. As of 2024, the band has released nine studio albums with their lyrics often focusing on historical incidents and folklore. Audience participation is a part of their live performances, typically during encores. The band stages whimsical reenactments of sea battles and other centuries-old events, typically of regional interest, or acts out songs with members of the crowd.

Picaresque is their third studio album, released in 2005. The word "picaresque" refers to a form of satirical prose originating in Spain, depicting realistically and often humorously the adventures of a low-born, roguish hero living by their wits in a corrupt society. To facilitate the creative process and avoid creative block, band members filled a used bike helmet with slips of paper listing strategies and ideas to try out. Non-traditional rock instruments used in the album's recording included an accordion and a hurdy-gurdy. The album was produced by Chris Walla, also the guitarist for the band Death Cab for Cutie.
