    blown out pallet palate

    FTFY. A pallet is a small bed or an object used for carrying things, a palate is part of the mouth or one’s ability to taste things. Pretty pedantic, I know, but I have this compulsion to correct misused homophones, so… Sorry? You’re welcome? Either way, have a great day!

        In all honesty, I think it’s likely a simple mistake.

        The object that artists use to hold their paints is actually a third homophone, spelled palette.

        It could be that the word choice was intentional and is referencing the character’s bed, but I find it more likely that it was simply lost in translation from the original Japanese

      It wasn’t a misunderstood homophone, but an autocorrected one which I didn’t feel was important enough to correct.
