*Consideration: The Affinity Between 'What Are You Talking About?' and 'So That's What You Did!'*

Compatibility Issues

Konishi Kinoko-san, whom I secretly admire.
She is the creator of the
outrageously versatile phrase, 'What are you talking about?'

Can you come up with a killer phrase like this?
I understand the feeling of the many addicts
who have been captivated by 'What are you talking about?'
Yes, I am one of them.
But you know, it's hard to know the right timing.

Sometimes, when I think, 'Is this it?'
I add the hashtag.
Then, Konishi Kinoko-san appears dashingly
and collects it.
How smart.

That Konishi Kinoko-san took up the
'So That's What You Did! Championship'
that I am currently running,
and furthermore,she described it as 'having good compatibility'with her phrase!

Indeed, among the brave souls who participate in my events,
there are a certain number of people
who let it coexist with
'What are you talking about?'

Yes, I myself wanted to use the combination,
so I wrote it.
What on earth is this marriage of ideas?

What will come out if I dig deeper?

'So That's What You Did!'
in a sense, has a clear answer.
However, the middle part goes off the rails completely.
No, rather than going off the rails,
I'm not writing lies, but
I make it so that 'that' isn't immediately obvious.

'What are you talking about?' also,
literally, makes it unclear what you are talking about right away.
If anything, you don't know until the end.
Surely, only the person themselves knows.

...No, wait.
Regarding 'What are you talking about?' too,
the one who doesn't know what is being talked about is the reader,
the writer consistently 'knows' (probably).

The act of writing down things that might not be conveyed to anyone
with complete seriousness.
Isn't this 'only known to the person themselves' actually the point that becomes addictive?

Ultimately,
the feeling of 'it's okay if you don't understand'
opens the door to 'What are you talking about?',
and wanting to reveal the trick by saying 'The answer is this'
joins the ranks of 'So That's What You Did!'

The feeling up to the middle is very similar.
But depending on how you choose to deliver the final punchline,
it is very possible that it determines
which door you open.

Eventually being absorbed

...Oops, what am I saying?
I was about to be absorbed...
is what I want to say, but
this is already completely absorbed.

To think about it so seriously,
is nothing but the addictiveness of 'What are you talking about?'.

After all, 'What are you talking about?' is clearly highly versatile,
and there is no doubt that it is a magic phrase
that neatly wraps things up, no matter the situation.

As you write along,
if you are troubled by the final punchline,
it might be good to shout out loud,
'What are you talking about?'

But I hope that,
the writer has a firm intention,
knows 'what they are talking about',
and can express a worldview
that isn't conveyed to others... with that,
I will end my own consideration.

So you were being serious!
