...ISN'T CORNFLOWER YELLOW???

fics these days just aren't what they used to be. D:

I was thinking that too, but a trip down Google Lane says it's a blue color. EDIT: Ah! Corn flour (two words) is the color we're thinking of.

Please tell me what they used to be, Auntie Lulu! o.o [/child]

You know I know it's a blue thanks to Crayola Crayons but I always thought it should have been a shade of yellow too...

Apparently the yellow version is "corn flour", two words with "flour" in a different spelling. If most people know it as the yellow version, I wonder where the blue came from.

...HUH.

SEE THIS IS WHY I DON'T USUALLY READ G.U. FANFICTION.

YOU'RE SMARTER THAN I AM. D:

Have you seen "bluenette" yet? If that's actually a word, then by all means, tell me off, but until it's a real word, it's just weird. D:

It's not a real word that I know of. I don't recall ever reading any fic that had that term (although my fanfic reading is few and far inbetween...), but I'm not surprised it's been used. It is a bit distracting, isn't it?

Lucky. It's everywhere in the Shaman King fandom. D: Beware.
