#*sees a D12* ''i love to see my favorite platonic solid: the dodecahedron out in the wild''

[thebewilderer]

back on my gravity falls bullshit and im seeing a LOT of issues in the fandom

namely: people using "isosceles" as a synonym for "triangle"

BILL IS VERY CLEARLY AN EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE.

and dont give me that "equilateral triangles are also isosceles by definition actually :)" bullshit because thats like seeing a square and going "wow lookit that rectangle" or "what a nice parallelogram" like yes technically you are correct but also everyone around you is looking at you like youre a fuckin idiot because there is a much better word that would severely increase the accuracy of your statement and its such an incredibly common word so you definitely know it and heaven only knows why youre refusing to use it

#gravity falls #*sees a pair of dice* ''what a lovely set of parallelpiped :)'' #*sees an equilateral triangle* ''ah yes my favorite of the Three Sided Shapes That Identically Tile The Plane Through With 180° Rotation'' #*sees a D12* ''i love to see my favorite platonic solid: the dodecahedron out in the wild'' #ok actually that last ones valid ngl #the dodecahedron IS the best platonic solid and it deserves to be known as more than just a D12 #the number of times ive been talking to someone about my project (and thus the platonic solids and thus my favorite plaronic solid) #and described the dodecahedron as ''like how a cube has six square faces the dodecahedron has 12 pentagon faces!'' #and seen the total lack of understanding on their face #and had to sigh and go ''... you know... the D12 from dnd...'' #to which they respond ''oh yeah the D12 i know that'' #its so sad #i wish i could make people know the platonic solids by their actual names and not the dice names #wow i got off track holy shit #doubt anyones read this far tbh #im just rambling bc my powers out and thus i cant work on my thesis so im killing time #viva la dodecahedron! #ih #fndm
