The title of the crosspost (and mentioned in the description here) is the equation y=-x² which has a graph that starts at lower left, goes up to 0, then down to lower right.

This gives the intended reading order.

Start from bottom left and go clockwise

My guess is it starts on top left, then moves right, then goes down all the way to bottom right, and comes full circle to the left and back up.

So “doesn’t make you look any better making me look bad”.

It’s a clock that starts at 7.

The key to a good graphic is adding alternating colors that have nothing to do with the reading order

Thanks for this. I was genuinely trying to work out whatever the fuck this was supposed to say for longer than I care to admit.
