#The colors mean things

[respectthepetty]

It makes sense that Thee wants Santa's character in Me and Thee initially.

Because Santa's character appears red.

And a Red Rascal, who is passionate and aggressive, would think he needs a person to match his energy.

But what this Red Rascal needs is a Blue Boy.

Because Blue Boys are loyal.

They are intelligent.

And both will balance each other out.

So turn away from what you think is a Red Rascal, Thee, and fall in love with a Blue Boy instead.

Yeah, like that.

My Lord of the Rings Art is

Now that I have enough art to actually do this I decided to hop on the trend. Of course I am a few months late but if I weren’t would it really be me?

Hope's little expression journey here when he remembers that Save is in debt to Boss (just like everyone else) and that's why he wants to keep their relationship secret, because Hope is an enforcer, a debt collector and, well, one of the cruelest ones. Yet Save obviously fell for him and wants to stay with him and it's so interesting to see.

It's even more fascinating to contrast Jack and Hope. Because we know Jack is regularly paying off everyone's debt while Hope isn't touching his boyfriend's but Jack and Hope both have items that are held to keep their loyalty and they're each fallen for someone struggling in a different way and it's just... oof.

And then we get into Arun and Tattoo which is the exact opposite of everyone else where Arun has no debt but a different kind of loyalty and Tattoo has nothing but debt and absolutely no loyalty and it's amazing and I cannot wait to see them develop. Because Arun has plenty of his own issues but he also has power that's different from anyone else is the show's, even Joke.

(They are all the dark boys, even if Arun is wearing white lace over his blackness, he has brightness but he has darkness at his core, the same way Hope has blackness outline his white shirt while Jack, oh Jack, has engulfed himself in the darkness as much as he can. @respectthepetty I love them all.)

This is the moment that broke me this episode.

Because the line he crossed isn’t the boundaries they’ve already been screwing with. The line is the fact that he’s told Kao and Grandma he’s going to protect his heart. That he isn’t going to develop real feelings for Yoryak.

But this moment, watching Yoryak sleep with the most tender look on Dee’s face while the room is bathed in the softest pink light. As @respectthepetty will tell you, pink = love.

And this is when he chooses to walk into the living room, filled with the pink light of love, toward Yoryak. If not ready to admit it out loud, this is the moment that Wandee chooses Yoryak and his feelings for him and moves towards love.

He goes and just sits and watches Yoryak sleep with such affection

And then after the sweetest conversation about being unused to sleeping without Dee in his arms, the room flooded with pink and purple, Dee settles in as happy as ever.

And so is Yak.

Look at this man’s face. He’s so happy.

But then he seems to realize it. And we get this face.

And I think about last week and him insisting to Cher that he’s not so fickle to change his affections so quickly. And about how Wandee has been clear he likes to win and set up this fake dating scenario for a scholarship. So Yoryak does the thing that broke both me and Dee and asks about Taem…

Look how happy and content and at peace Dee is here…as he’s getting stabbed in the chest.

And then the pink and purple dials down a little as Dee’s hand slips away along with his happiness and security. But the pink is still there around his eyes. Because he’s still in love with Yoryak and he chose it.

And he says “Of course..”

Because Dee fell in love with Yoryak exactly how he is with neither of them trying. So how could Taem not also fall madly in love with an actively engaged in flirting Yoryak?

The Love Sea special episode said Blue = 💙Love💙!

I already knew that Tongrak and Mahasamut were color and fabric coded boys in love and the special really hammered it in. It also pointed something out that's been in front of my face this whole time!

We begin the episode with Mut waking up in blue patterned sheets.

He's looking at his calendar (on which the date is highlighted in blue) because Tongrak is set to return soon and there's blue decor on the walls and Rak's textures are in the wall hanging beside the bed.

In fact, the blue and patterns and textures are all over their house! The patterned rugs offer texture by nature, there's some decorative wood that adds texture to the walls and blue photos, there's blue in the pattern Mut is wearing, a blue patterned pillow on Rak's desk chair. Even my favorite chismoso Palm is sporting a blue patterned shirt as he helps Mut clean before Rak's return home.

Even on Vivi and Mook! One of them is in a blue pattern and the other in a textured dress and there's blue in their matching necklaces!

But that's not even the best part because LOOK at what Tongrak is wearing!

A SOLID COLORED SHIRT WITH A BLUE PATTERN ON THE POCKET OVER HIS HEART! THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF THIS SHIRT:

Before, it was plainly obvious to literally everyone that Rak was in love with Mahasamut but Rak couldn't admit it to himself. He was still afraid and guarding his heart so there was a solid pocket on his blue striped shirt. But look at him now!

He's got his husband's patterns over his heart and he's kissing him hello after a month apart in front of Viviana and Mook and god and the ocean with zero hesitation.

AND THAT'S BARELY THE FIRST 15 MINUTES OF THE EPISODE! The blue and the patterns and textures just keep going!

Blue in the tag Rak gives Mut.

Blue patterns on their clothes and again on Palm.

Blue patterns in the pillows and texture in the blanket they rest on while they go to their romantic dinner.

Tongrak sleeping so peacefully absolutely surrounded by all the blue in their home.

Mut in his blue patterned shirt getting sent off to work with breakfast and a forehead kiss from his husband.

Blue patterns in the tablecloth and seat cushions at the dinner Mook forced them to attend after interrupting their pre-dinner appetizer.

A dinner which they promptly skip out on because they'd much rather eat each other instead, UNDER THE BLINDING BLUE JELLYFISH LIGHT OF LOVE!

And I've just gotta talk about this shirt.

Because Tongrak isn't just wearing a blue patterned shirt.

He's wearing the same blue patterned shirt Mahasamut was wearing when he left Tongrak's house and symbolically took the love that he'd confessed and that had been rejected with him.

There's no longer sad memories attached to that shirt! Only happy memories of Rak and Mut planning their future together and being so excited about it that neither of them can sleep!

And it's not only them who are bundled safely in the patterned blue of love!

Blue = 💙Love💙 and they've been telling us that since the finale aired!

[mysterygrl20]

so we have these red shirts in ep 6

and this scene in the trailer with said shirts…

bring on the emotional devastation yinwar

[becauseimanicequeen]

There’s something going on with the red in 4 Minutes.

This was only the first episode (and I know more is coming since I've seen it in the trailer) but I'm already buzzing from seeing all this red.

(I would expand on it if it weren't for the Olympics. But, for now, this will have to do until the Olympics are over and I have time to write about color (including the contrast of dark/light that's present as well).)

[poetry-protest-pornography]

@respectthepetty what is going on with these colors?

Taishin in a yellow and blue jacket, and green and blue shorts. The green and blue sheets and blanket. Takara folding the items, in a very light blue sweatshirt, in front of blue curtains.

(not to mention how brave and protective Taishin was in that jacket with the yellow over his heart)

THE LOOK ON TAISHIN'S FACE WHEN TAKARA PUTS THE PINK SWEATSHIRT ON HIM?!!??? HELP???

but I know just what I do

faith "Angel, " he calls me, Does he know that I'm falling ,From a precipice that I tripped off long ago?,"You're so pure, " he says,Does he know, I'm forsaken?,The original sinner,But soon you'll know,For if I'm going down,I guess I'll take you with me,Naked in that garden,Back at the beginning,And now in your arms,You're faithless, for you pitched me,Against your holy father,And it seems that I am winning" koria

Albus "Devil, " you call me,But seems to be enjoying,The fruits of my labour that came to me too young,When he stole my virtue,I'm glad it seems to serve you,That I was born a daughter and not a son,For if I'm going down,I guess I'll take you with me,Screaming birds sound an awful lot like singing,And I will tell you now,That I'm not even singing,There's no escape for some.." york

Happy of the End - Episodes 1 to 4 - Colours

Building on my last post I now have a boader theory what the colours in Happy of the End stand for.

Yellow are needs.

While it appears mostly in connection with Chihiro's need for human connection

It also appears with food

And Haoren

Blue is outsiderness and isolation

It mostly appears as the world Haoren grew up in

But is also the colour of Chihiro's highschool experience

And because of that green is the colour of closeness and society

And then there is red and its connection to sexual exploitation

Lastly there are blue and pink as character colour for Haoren and Chihiro based on the episode numbers

So we are hoping for green but colourless is fine

[respectthepetty]

When Jack put the red blanket on Joke, I noticed Joke has a little J with a heart tattooed on his shoulder, which I got a glimpse of in the second episode.

He doesn't have a chip on his shoulder. He has a heart on his shoulder. He wears his feelings on his shoulder. In his color.

And it's a J.

There is no Joker of Hearts. There is only a Jack of Hearts!

The Jack of Hearts sits on Joke's left shoulder which is normally concealed.

And the Jack of Hearts represents young men in love.

Every tattoo Joke has is about Jack.

Joke fell in love in one night five years ago and has been thinking about it ever since.

And that's why the ring with Jack's name on it belongs on Joke's finger. He already has Jack tattooed all over his body. Now he just needs Jack to allow Joke to permanently place Jack's name in his heart.

[bunni-bun]

also where's @respectthepetty cuz i am having so many emotions about the perfect yin and yang colors at the end of today's Jack & Joker episode. i'm gonna chew on my desk, it was beautiful and symbolic and god. GODDDDDD. IT WAS PERFECT!!!!!

[heretherebedork]

Thinking about how they switched shirts and colors while Yuan was gone but switched back before Yuan came back and how the lights and the darks are touching both of them now, bring them together again and the inside of Qian's collar being light.

[doublel27]

Diew, y’all swapped colors and God pouted and you still sent him to sleep in his own bed!! Sir! And the colors are swapped again the next day. Oh they’re in love.

But you could let that overgrown puppy just sleep with you.

[babyangelsky]

I think whether or not miss thing is actually Vad doesn't matter nearly as much as San making a choice. He's been tied to fate and leading himself by fate for 100 years. It's all he knows at this point.

But as much red as there was in that love scene with Vee, there was green too.

This wasn't about whether he believes Vee is Vad. This was him accepting his feelings and choosing Vee. He didn't get what he interpreted as confirmation until after they'd already been together.

Maybe it's the optimist in me speaking but the colors don't lie, and the green of choice is right there next to the red of fate. The writing isn't only on the walls it's on San's body, too.

[slayerkitty]

@respectthepetty Am I insane, or is Ryan's outfit saying what I think it's saying?

The pink letters on the shirt indicate he's in love, and he's wearing Jane's blue in his shorts. Right? RIGHT?

(The sound I made when I saw this full outfit)
