my strangest legacy - in high school, for one reason or another (I can’t remember) my friends and I wrote “34 days until March 2nd” on the whiteboard in the drama classroom. It was completely arbitrary but we kept it it up, “30 days until March 2nd”  ”23 days until March 2nd” etc. It spread around enough that the entire school is buzzing about what is going to happen on March 2nd. We figure we should think of something and decide to bring in cake. There were about 13 of us in total committed to bringing a cake. On March 2nd, during 3rd period lunch we all entered the cafeteria in a line (the parade of the cakes) and laid them out—a grand cake buffet for everyone in that lunch period. We did it the next year. And after we graduated it kept going.

This past March 2nd was the 9th year they’ve done it. It’s become a school sponsored event. There are t-shirts for this thing every year. March 2nd is cake day. I am a god. 

Hurry up and go, you damn fool.

Again, I feel like I could connect anything to Venti. Yeah, it's that bad

venti is not manipulative and a liar. unless you decide nuance is obsolete and hiding and omitting information based on goals, even if said goals are kind, is manipulative and lying. in which case yes, absolutely, he's manipulative and a liar!

but in MY opinion, venti is the god of freedom and everything about him is layered in free will, the desire to love, and the motif of carrying a torch of hope. he literally took on the form of his best friend to carry them with him, to keep their memory alive. he is constantly playing around and being cheeky not to be manipulative, but to keep a lightness to his adventures. to stay hopeful, to spread gentleness, to be an archon that protects but from afar. he keeps his distance from people because he doesn't want to influence them in any way directly, he wants them to be free, just like the wind.

i think that's the antithesis of manipulative and lying, don't you?
