More notes on ‘Love at first sight’ for Mike + Numbers and color theory + ‘Father’(?) Henry

I wrote in a recent post that Mike is framed in center-focus when opening the van’s back door to Argyle and Eden, metaphorically cringing at ‘love at first sight’ while his heart/arrow pocket directly points at Will.

There’s a lot of focus on Mike in this shot additionally because he opened the door, with his hand remaining on the handle, thereby taking up vertical space while being in focus (thank you @bugsbenefit for that insight). He’s the only one framed like that. So he’s in center frame and taking up space; our eyes are automatically drawn to him (and Will; Jonathan and Suzie are more faded/shaded). And because we should be noticing Mike first, we should also be noticing his cringing expression, his pocket, and how close he and Will are standing together. It all highlights the contrast of what he (as well as everyone else who don’t look amused but Mike especially) is looking at.

All of this is greater highlighted from Argyle first making eye-contact with Eden, and it’s Mike and only Mike who follows Argyle’s gaze on her.

The grandfather clock popping in and out of frame to the side—

—looks like running out of time association with Mike; especially since Eden puts Cornelius, who shot Mike with the arrow the moment he opened the door to the Bingham house (I’ve seen a lot of interpretations for that scene—Mike death association, Cupid due to very specific color choices for the arrow and Cornelius’s accessories, a target on Mike, etc), in time out and threatens that if Cornelius “escapes,” she’ll “tell Father.” Maybe that’s indicative of something? If we correlate this with Mike, who would Mike be escaping from and what kind of authority is it? Naturally I think of Henry since he’s trying to bend the entire world to his ideal and control it. Ultimate, god-like authority—a twisted ‘Father’ over the world he’s trying to create (‘you are like papa’?). Plus, step on one of his tentacles/vines and Henry knows where you are. The Hive-mind itself. The time on the clock also reads 11:13. The following is just a thought bubble on those numbers: 14, biblically-speaking, is the number that represents a double measure of perfection. 7 is already perfect but 14 is a full completion. The clock’s hand is on 13, so it is nearly perfect. If you take 13 superstitiously (at least in Western, Christianity-linked superstition): unlucky.

11 I place, of course, for El. 13 but not 14 is beside 11, without the completion of 7+7 but nearly there. Without both fully, however, they’re teetering around death.

Then we get a close-up on the timer (The shadow of the timer’s pointer falls within the 7. There’s the perfect number)—

—and the next shot gives us Argyle up-front with Mike trailing very closely behind (with some odd, wary-like expression), completely in view, and we cut back to Eden before we see Will or Jonathan.

We also get a brief look at these curtains in the back of the open-door room to the side of Mike and Argyle, patterned with stripes of our primary red, blue and yellow paired with green under a long blue layer of fabric.

Further emphasis on Mike as a focal point in these scenes that point to El, Will, and his eventual getting together with Will? All three colors are there, showing their importance together, but it’s blue that stands out and green is included. The red curtains above Mike’s head also have a bright light shining through them. More transparency with El in the future?

Then while Argyle is awkwardly introducing himself, these are Mike’s expressions:

Not only was Mike intentionally framed in center-focus of the open back door of the van, but he was also very intentionally, solely framed behind Argyle having his ‘love at first sight’ moment. And he looks confused, scrunching up his face even (whereas Will looks annoyed).

Mike and El’s relationship takes a huge dive ‘you can’t come back from’ this season. Their relationship started on the notion of ‘love at first sight,’ and Mike fibs about this ‘love’ in his monologue. This season also heavily contrasts his relationships with El and Will. Will and Mike have a solid background to the beginning of their friendship and how they’ve grown together and know each other, whereas El and Mike do not, emphasizing choice vs “dumb luck.” Mike specifically gets a front-row view of Argyle ‘falling’ for Eden and being in the van with her because we the audience are supposed to not only connect Melvin to Argyle/Eden but realize Mike seriously doesn’t believe in love at first sight. He didn’t even approve of Lucas and Dustin being so into Max in s2, stating they didn’t even know her. And he later expresses to Will that being with El wasn’t fate or destiny. Take all of this and add it to Mike cringing at Argyle and Eden in the van and it’s obvious.

-

And of course Mike is in danger and needs to reach that metaphorical 14; what else is new?

[sadboyjacinter]

the timeline is one big loop yeah but i think lewis is the first in his timeline to go and change goobs story. i think the loop still exists but in this new loop goob gets to be happy. i also wonder abt wilbur knowing the exact date when lewis got given up for adoption and whether or not cornelius has gone back to that time to watch his birth mom again or if he told wilbur abt it. so much. So Much.

[cordalino]

AU where Goob becomes a professional baseball player, and stays friends with Cornelius in their adult life. He even gives his bestie free tickets to his games.

also, he's still a caffeine addict, he got himself one of those fancy espresso machines <3

♫ Mighty Quinn ♫ (Redux)

I spent most of yesterday (Sunday) reading … just reading, not delving deep into political news, but reading a book simply for pleasure … something I almost never do these days.  I enjoyed it, but the result is that I’m behind now and so must delve back into the archives for a song for today.  AHA!  This one is a fun song … a good way to start off the week, don’t you think?  I last played this…

[castleclerics]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhh lights/electricity having something to do with spying and mike preventing someone from spying subtext is right behind me isn’t it

steve having to shine light on the lights in the UD but will probably not having to when he was there because he is light himself/embodies light metaphorically/etc.

mike turning off the light… thus preventing the mf spying through it...

(also not them including this specific mess-up from noah in the bloopers for s4 that wasn't even a line that makes sense for the convo they were having in this scene like ???) thinking the prevention of spying is gonna be big again in s5

other mike and lights/electricity references (but probs not all):

on in closet

turning on light after they were turned off to capture billy

him congratulating cornelius for turning the power back on ?? why is it always mike with the power!!!!!!

[leossmoonn]

Hope you’re having a good day! Can I request a blurb of Abby seeing your place for the first time?

yes!!! I hope you’re having a good day as well :D

————

“are we almost done yet?” abby groans as she climbs up what she hopes to be the last flight of stairs.

“one more, honey,” you say. you grab her hand and try to help her as her little legs feel like jello. you turn to mike who is trailing behind you two. “i’m sorry. i didn’t know the elevator would be broken.”

he shakes his head, smiling a little while panting. you can see some beads of sweet form on his upper lip. “i love cardio. in fact, this is right on par with what i do at the gym.”

you giggle as you know he does not have a gym membership and he’s stopped running outside since it’s become so cold. even if he did keep up with exercise, stairs are a different type of workout.

“we are here!” you exclaim at the top of the step. abby jumps up for joy, suddenly re-energized with the excitement of seeing your apartment. you open the door leading to the hallway and the pair follow you halfway down the hall. you type in your apartment’s pin number and open the door, going in and setting your purse down and slipping your shoes off.

abby runs in, skipping through the room.

“abby! behave. we are guests,” mike says. “oh, it’s okay. there’s not anything she can harm,” you say.

there’s a little meow that comes from your bedroom. your head turns and you spot your cat. “except for cornelius, maybe.” you walk over and pick him up, walking him over to abby first. she gasps, her big brown eyes seeming to fill up her whole face. she tentatively puts out her hand, letting your car sniff her. cornelius ducks his head under her hand, rubbing his cheek along her palm.

“he’s so soft!” abby gushes. “he seems to like you,” you grin.

she turns to mike with the biggest pout you think you’ve ever seen from abby. “can we get a cat?”

mike chuckles softly and shakes his head. “i don’t think we can afford one, abs. i’m sorry.”

she frowns and turns to you, scratching cornelius behind the ears. “can i live with you?”

“maybe someday soon, hm?” you take a peek at mike who’s obviously daydreaming about a building a home with you.

“yeah, maybe someday,” he smiles softly. he starts looking around your apartment, taking in everything.

it’s a cute little place that you have. the first thing you see when you come in are two walls, one with a few doors along the side. the first door leads to your bedroom and the second leads to the bathroom. the third one is a small room that contains the washer, dryer, and litter box.

further into the hallway is the living room and kitchen which are connected. the cabinets in your kitchen are all white with marble granite covering the countertops. the kitchen table you have is a little bar with three chairs all lined up seemingly perfectly. you have a few plants on top of each cabinet with a little cactus on the bar counter near the wall it’s connected to. you have family pictures all over your fridge, as well as some with mike and abby.

your living is by far your biggest room. you have a gray couch with a wood coffee table and another wooden table by the far corner of the couch. there’s a plant right in the middle of the coffee table as well with a picture of you and mike. the tv is sitting on top of a dresser that’s filled with all of cornelius’ food and toys and other necessities. there’s a window by the tv and couch, letting a great amount of light in. the wall behind your couch is a navy blue along with your rug.

by the window is a cat tree and a basket of cat toys. there are a few shelves on the wall that are ascending. on them are pictures of your cat, family, and little souvenirs you’ve managed to pick up while traveling.

mike’s been here before, but he’s always amazed at how homely it feels. it doesn’t have that stuffy feeling to it like his house does. it’s not depressing and disappointing to walk into. it’s lively even with just the three of you here standing in silence. it feels exactly like how you make him feel: calm and happy.

“i like your plants,” abby says, inspecting the calathea on your coffee table. “we should get some, mike.”

“it’s a small investment,” you say. “they will probably die in my care,” mike snorts.

“i’ll help,” you offer. he shrugs, “we’ll see.”

“are you guys hungry?” you ask, walking into your kitchen. “not really,” abby answers.

“mike?” you turn to him. “a little, but i can wait until i get home,” mike says.

“nonsense. you guys plan to stay here for a little, right? unless you want to walk down seven flights again.”

“no, please!” abby groans. “that’s what i thought,” you chuckle. “you good with eating some chinese takeout? i have leftovers that will go bad soon.”

“anything you have is fine. thank you,” mike says. “awesome,” you hold your fist up like you won a game. “oh, abs! i wasn’t sure if you wanted to watch anything while you were here, but i bought you some coloring utensils and coloring books as well.” you start to warm up the food in the microwave and go to your bedroom, coming out with a couple of boxes full of coloring supplies and a few books.

“oh, you didn’t have to,” mike sighs. “i wanted to,” you say. he watches with a smile as you sit on the ground with abby and look through the books with her. his heart warms as he knows you love abby like she’s your own blood and flesh.

you and mike are sitting on the couch while abby is laying on her stomach in front of the tv, paying most of her attention to her new coloring book. you managed to convince her to eat an egg roll, which she surprisingly liked, and some fortune cookies.

mike takes your plates once your done eating and begins to wash them. you follow him, wrapping your arms around him and kissing his shoulder.

“you didn’t have to,” you say. “you fed us and let us hang out at your place. plus, you got abby some new stuff. It’s the least i could do,” mike says.

you peck his cheek. “you guys are always welcome here. even if I don’t formally invite you, you guys can just show up if you know i’m home.”

“don’t let abby know that. before you know it, she’ll be packing a suitcase and sleeping here.”

“well, there is an apartment upstairs with two bedrooms.”

mike gently sets down the plate in the drying rack. “you don’t have to move just because my little sister wants to live with you.”

“what if i want you guys to live with me?”

his heart skips and his body stiffens under your. “really?” he mumbles. you hum and nod. “whenever you’re ready, just say the word. i love you, mike. and abby. you two are my family away from home.”

mike smiles and turns to place a kiss on your lips. he cups your face, leaning into the warmth of your body. you both hear a thud continued by a small meow. mike feels something furry against his neck and shuffles away, a little startled, only to find out it’s cornelius.

“if we move in, you might have to get rid of him,” mike says.

you gasp with a smile and slap mike’s chest. “that would be like getting rid of abby.”

“yeah, but abby is a human and can talk and feed herself. and use the bathroom without me having to clean it up.”

cornelius meows once again, batting mike’s shoulder. he then lays down on the counter, showing his belly and pushing his head into mike’s arm. you can’t help but awe.

“i think he likes you.”

mike brings a hand up and scratches the side of his face. cornelius starts to purr loudly, rubbing his head further into mike’s hand.

“he’s not so bad,” mike says. “see? you’ll get along perfectly fine,” you smile.

you and mike go back to watching tv for another hour or so before mike tells abby it’s time to go home. abby whines and begs to stay, but you assure her that you’ll see her bright and early tomorrow.

“i love you.” mike hugs you, holding you close and tight like it’s the last time he’ll ever see you. you close your eyes as you relax into him, feeling yourself melt against his body. “i love you, too, baby. drive home safe, okay? text me when you get home.”

mike nods, grabbing abby’s hand after you kiss her head goodbye.

“are you sure we can’t get a cat?” abby asks. “i’m sure,” mike says.

“what about a dog?”

“no.”

“a bunny?”

“no.”

“hamster?”

“abby, no.”

“what about a chicken?”

“where would we even get one of those?”

“i want a fox! josie has one in her backyard that visits sometimes.”

mike looks down at abby with a you’re crazy face. she giggles and starts to him to herself. mike sighs, knowing he’s going to have to deal with abby’s questions about pets for the rest of the week. but honestly, he wouldn’t have it any other way.

Notes

Everybody is all smiles for the group picture, from heroes to villains and everything in-between. Even characters who were otherwise sticks in the mud like Hank genuinely smile for the picture. Villains such as Muntz, de la Cruz, Lotso, Thunderclap and his gang, Syndrome, Evelyn, Randall, Waternoose, Hopper, Skinner, and Ercole, as much of evil psychopaths they were, are seen tenderly and respectfully singing along. Even Sid, who was a massive bully to Hannah, is seen giving her a kind brotherly embrace. Also, most movies’ main cast seem to be cramped together. Even the villains stand near their respective heroes, everyone in a healthy relationship with their families and loved ones are tenderly holding each other close, and many of the larger characters offer their bodies for the smaller ones.

Forky, Heimlich, Dory, Jack-Jack, Mater, WALL-E, and one of the triplets wave at the camera.

Dim and Wee Dingwall give the camera dopey smiles.

The egg-shaped bluebirds and the gawky bird stand perched above the entrance. The bluebirds are happy to have the gawky bird with them, a far cry from how they treated him in their short.

Sulley carries Boo tenderly in his arms. Helen does the same to Jack-Jack, as do Presto with Alec, Carl and Russell with Kevin’s babies, Elinor and Fergus with their triplet sons, Embarrassment with Envy, Massimo with Machiavelli, and Izzy with Sox.

Terri attempts to dance before his other half stops him.

Hank carries Marlin, Dory, and Nemo in a coffee pot.

Voyd and Abby giddily bounce in place, clearly the most excited for the photo.

Linguini carries Remy while Colette holds Django and Emile.

WALL-E and EVE hold the umbrellas from The Blue Umbrella.

HAN-S still can’t stay still, shaking aggressively as the photo is taken.

Kevin and her babies take the time to mimic Carl once again.

Maudie and the Clan Dingwall hunk share a loving look.

Young Macintosh flexes his pecs while giving the camera a cocky smile, the same type of smile given by characters like Terry, Darby, and Clod.

The Witch has her Crow standing perched on her shoulder.

Being stationary volcanoes, Uka and Lele are unable to leave their photo. Thankfully, they have Thunderclap and his gang to hold it so they can be in the group picture.

Nostalgia sticks her head out from behind Embarrassment, clearly hiding from the other emotions.

Riley, Grace, and Bree all carry Knick together while Riley’s parents carry the Miami and Florida knick knacks, Val and the Fire Hawks carry the Egypt, Jamaica, Palm Springs, Israel, and Death Valley knick knacks, and Coach Roberts carries Sunny Atlantis in her fish bowl.

Cindy, Son’s fiancée, winks at the camera as the photo is taken.

Machiavelli gives the camera his standard bored look.

Mei has her red hair, panda ears, and panda tail, continuing to embrace her panda.

Aaron Z gives the camera a thumbs up while Tae Young makes a heart with his hands.

Izzy gives Sox a neck scratch.

Alisha and Kiko’s inclusion also counts due to their backlash following the movie’s release.
