andrew garfield chicken shop date video of all time to ME. somehow simultaneously has the most (seemingly) romantic and natural chemistry while ALSO being the one that most blatantly acknowledges and almost criticises the pretence and orchestration fundamental to the format of the show. like it’s inherently paradoxical which makes it so FASCINATING. despite their flirting and dropping lore of their real life previous encounters (quote unquote meet cutes thanks for that one mr garfield) they also explicitly mention the facade of the show AND break the fourth wall- when he repeatedly touches the boom mic between them, and when they keep looking at the camera.

they deliver more successfully than ever on the central idea of the show while also actively deconstructing it! while breaking its established conventions! absolutely insane media experience 10/10

That’s why our ribs are cages

(The insane amount of symbolism at play under the cut)

Unfortunately cheesy caption but it’s ok!! because I am Insane about this thing!!

This was inspired by a scene in Dream of the Red Chamber where Bao-yu rips open his chest to give his heart to Dai-yu! (within a dream) I’m not at that chapter yet but. You understand how this would make me insane.

Hong Lu’s face is stylized to resemble a comedy mask. He hides his true feelings and deflects through a carefully constructed mask. Also dehumanization! He smiles in most (i think there’s one ID that doesn’t) of his stagger/damaged sprites there is something SO wrong with him!

His clothing is rendered in higher detail than his face/hands/body. Hong Lu places a lot of importance on appearance and is the only sinner to wear the full uniform (properly, which means unfortunately Don does not count.)

The place his chest is torn open mirrors where his tie would be, down to the color. These elements all work to de-emphasize the fact his chest is ripped open. Hong Lu is VERY much about dehumanization/objectification! This is why he’s the fanservice character! The chest rip also mirrors his Dimension Shredder EGO :)

The name on his coat is ambiguous! It can be read as either bao-yu or dai-yu! I have no idea who hong lu is. There’s more theories I’ve entertained about who or what he is than there are sinners. But ambiguity is a big thing in red chamber and I wanted to include it here

The bottom part of his jacket begins flowing like blood, and in the negative space there are teardrop shapes. Hong Lu has an insane amount of water symbolism, and especially tears when we consider all the gloom associations and the Tearful Thing! Dai-yu also owes Bao-yu a lifetime debt of tears she eventually dies repaying!

I think that’s everything! (Aside from the super secret symbolism you can find on your own and should definitely tell me about :) ) Typing on my iPad sucks but hopefully u get the gist and enjoy my art! I usually don’t put this much symbolic thought into my work but it was a refreshing change of pace and I rlly liked making it. I’ve wanted to do a thematically significant piece like this for SO LONG and finally got around to it

PLEASE talk to me and ask me about Hong Lu. I’m insane right now there’s SO much to him and I need to share it
