A long, long time ago, CTY was in an age of chaos. In the middle of this chaos, there came three legends: a hat, a cape, and a shield, all crafted entirely of duct tape. These objects– the Duct Tape Triforce– possessed great power and imbued the CTYer who held them with that power. The hat represented wisdom, the cloak power, and the shield courage. These powers, the powers of CTY itself, are given to worthy Twomores, that they might use them until their nevermore year to better both CTY and themselves. In this way, the Triforce are objects of devotion and growth, accompanying the holder through their autumn years of CTY.
The origins of the Triforce began far away, at Sienna in 08.1. The Duct Tape Cape was crafted by Will Harrington, Todd, and one or both of the Greene Twins. Each of these master craftsmen was a Twomore at the time of the Cape’s inception. When Sienna closed down, the Cape immigrated on the back of Will Harrington to Skidmore, where it was worn to all the dances. When it was unexpectedly passed down to then Twomore Noah Miller at Passionfruit Skidmore 10.1, a new tradition was born– a tradition that would endure for many years. Each holder of the Cape has their name written on it in Sharpie. The Cape is worn to all dances and CTY cultural events where it’s not too hot.
The next addition to the Triforce– the Duct Tape Hat– was made by Noah Miller (the then-current holder of the Cape) in 11.1. As with the Cape, the Hat was worn to all the dances. When Noah was tragically unable to attend his Nevermore year, he mailed the cape to Emily Cambias and the hat to Tracey Lin, who wore them proudly throughout their Nevermore year. As with the Cape, the Hat is worn to all dances and CTY cultural events where it’s not too hot.
The last addition to the Triforce was the Duct Tape Shield. It was made by Max Nobel in 14.1. The Shield is carried to dances and cultural events, although it can be put down/left behind when too inconvenient.
