@PatonFleming hey I’m from Boston! I was born there, and ended up there for college too (oof)

[Percival Lowell @PercivalLowell8]

@PatonFleming I got married to a woman who’s middle name was literally Savage. I’m Mr. Constance Savage Keith honestly because who wouldn’t take her name when it’s that cool.

I once said “Bright points in the sky or a blow on the head will equally cause one to see stars.” and the next person who discredits my theories WILL be receiving the latter.

[Percival Lowell @PercivalLowell8]

can’t believe it took 14 years after I died for them to find Pluto, like I literally drew a map, what else did you need??? #incompetent

[Percival Lowell @PercivalLowell8]

tbh it’s not my fault I was wrong, Giovanni Schiaparelli if you’re seeing this IT’S YOUR FAULT smh imagine misleading another astronomer by your fake discoveries of canals on Mars😒 If I ever see you Gio, AND I MEAN EVER, it’s ON SIGHT.

[Percival Lowell @PercivalLowell8]

ik y’all think you’re special but people wrote BOOKS based off my theories, shoutout @HGWellsSSC for containing the legacy of H.G. Wells who wrote The War of the Worlds

[Percival Lowell @PercivalLowell8]

Japan is lowkey the move, I’ve written several books on the language, culture and religion but I never get tired of it (am tired of being bullied by @HerrKepler tho😥)

[Percival Lowell @PercivalLowell8]

you may think I’m “crazy” or ”delusional” but I refuse to accept that the Mariner 4 has discredited my lifetime’s worth of theories regarding mars

[Percival Lowell @PercivalLowell8]

I prefer people call me by my full title: Mr. Foreign Secretary to the Korean Special Mission to the United States Percival Lowell

[Percival Lowell @PercivalLowell8]

one of my sisters is a poet and the other is an activist, this house is always SO dramatic #saveme

[Percival Lowell @PercivalLowell8]

me: publishes multiple books over synthesis of astronomy and human progress of individualism that were called godlike

my parents:

[Percival Lowell @PercivalLowell8]

@Hipparchus14 you ever just have your work discredited #sadboihours

[Percival Lowell @PercivalLowell8]

when they wanted to build the maps of Venus for me but my work was literally my child

[Percival Lowell @PercivalLowell8]

@HerrKepler @CoolCopernicus bruh chill

[Percival Lowell @PercivalLowell8]

apparently intelligent life on mars “did not always exist” and it isn’t an irrigation system built by martians it’s just “naturally made canals” but you know how the haters be

[Percival Lowell @PercivalLowell8]

some of y’all about to be real mad at me but Pluto should be a planet, after all it was my work that helped discover it even if it WAS after I died

[Percival Lowell @PercivalLowell8]

imagine starting your whole career because you read Camille Flammarion's La planète Mars, couldn’t be me. oh wait😔

[Percival Lowell @PercivalLowell8]

@HerrKepler already upset about WWI, and now you gotta hurt my feelings too

[Percival Lowell @PercivalLowell8]

I may have been an aristocrat and a millionaire but all the money in the world can’t make @HerrKepler think I’m not ugly

[Percival Lowell @PercivalLowell8]

@OGBigBrainBoi @SubrahmanyanC10 @bigboicylde Dying of depression from WWI (and a minor stroke)
