This 10/29 tweet is my earliest recent tweet mentioning bouba-kiki in passing, but looks like I went nuts with it on 11/25 re Russian vs US helicopters.

This makes sense because that style is more metaphoric than literal. You sense for eg. that the Rick and Morty aesthetic is a slightly paranoid, spiky/jaggedy style... more kiki than bouba.

But there’s a steady stream of bouba/kiki tweets in tcot going back to April or so. I see tweets from and others…. And a few from bromystics Twitter too. You guys have any clue who started this? It starts to build up in August I think.

So to answer my own question, I do think it was in the water, but mostly as a sort of introspection lens/relationship/personality thing. My own trigger was unrelated military aesthetics bunnytrail.

My hive mind integration is complete. I can’t remember if I picked up on bouba-kiki an existing meme or suddenly developed a sudden fixation myself 😵‍💫 Is there a broader thing besides me going on about it 🧐
