im probably a bouba that believes they're a kiki. i don't like that. maybe i'm both. maybe i'm something else. maybe i'm nothing at all (takes drag of cig)

Are you bouba or are you Kiki? I’m probably a Kiki.

At a Halloween party I recently attended we all went around deciding who was Bouba and who was Kiki. I'm Bouba because I am a sweetheart and kind of a weenie

One of my favorite concepts! I suppose someone evil could ruin this but generally i think a vibe oriented binary can be so teaful when you are simplifying for fun...
