Just going to cry again (see: my previous post about the parallels between the storage room scene and the abandoned factory scene) about parallels and juxtapositions in the store room scene vs the one in Styles bedroom:

Both these scenes have such a tone of desperation and are characterised by an overflowing of emotions, but in drastically opposite directions.

(Note, some of what I say in this post directly relates to concepts and themes I talked about here, so it may not wholly make sense without that context.)

The scene in the storeroom is filled with frustrated desire. Fadel kisses Style because he wants Style's body and also wants to take his frustrations at Style out on his body. He doesn't need to look Style in the eye (and in fact very intentionally only does so only in small snatches) because this isn't about a connection as much as it is about a release. Fadel's kisses come fast, hard, and are intended to bruise more than to adore.

But episode 5's scene is filled with much more quiet and tender sort of desire. Style is kissing Fadel so much more slowly and purposefully. He keeps looking back at Fadel, checking in to see how he feels and whether Fadel is enjoying it. Everything Style wanted in Episode 3, he now gives to Fadel here, pours the secrets of his knowing and choosing Fadel anyway into the way he presses his lips onto Fadel's skin. His kisses linger, they carry a weight but are somehow infinitely gentle still; Style's kisses contain a purpose that Fadel's kisses couldn't in Episode 3 because in all honesty they were relative strangers back then.

There's also the way there's such a ferocity and carelessness in the way Fadel starts the encounter in episode 3 that is juxtaposed beautifully by the slow, tender, almost hesitant way Style slides his lips onto Fadel's. Both of them are in such different headspaces, between these episodes and its especially evident in the way they care so much more about the other person's comfort and how intentionally they showed that to the audience.

There's hunger present in both scenes but what this hunger is focused on is so drastically different. In the storeroom, they're both mainly focused on a physical release; its primal and visceral but lacked emotional resonance. Fadel gives Style what he knows Style wants (that hint of danger, with the hand on his neck), but its not because he really cares about what Style wants on anything more than a physical level. In Style's bedroom, however, Fadel is drunk (intentionally and by his own design) and desperate to open himself up to Style on an emotional level. Meanwhile, Style wants that desperately too, but knows that Fadel shouldn't because of his own terrible secret. So this kiss is what they both will allow themselves - an honesty and a hunger for this deeper connection they can only share in act but not in words.

In the storeroom, Style wants Fadel to want more than his body but knows (or thinks) he can't push for it yet, so he remains passive, lets Fadel do whatever he wants, lets him turn and shove and place Style how he wants because at this point, this is all Fadel will give him. Here, Style is passive in spite of what he wants. But in the bedroom, Fadel is passive because it's what he wants; he wants to let Style do whatever he desires to and with Fadel's body. He wants to lay himself as bare as he possibly can, which is only physical, and so he does.

And because the encounter in Episode 3 lacked that emotional connection, the focus is merely their respective releases. There's a sense of two people trying to find pleasure and 'finish' while remaining emotionally disconnected despite actively having sex with each other. Because in some ways, they didn't really need each other in that moment to get there (there's actually a lot of truth in what Fadel says about it being easier to just jerk off alone). In sharp contrast, the scene in Episode 5 isn't focused on the destination but on the journey. Style is taking his time and Fadel is letting him - Style is choosing to worship Fadel's body, with his fingers, with his lips, to respond to his vulnerability with gentleness and tenderness and adoration. The goal has stopped being about finding a release, it's about allowing both these men to revel in the giving and receiving of pleasure.

The point of these scenes is to show to us the ways in which Fadel and Style have grown to care for and, dare I say it, love each other in ways that are so purposefully portrayed by showing the nature of their physical connection. Because the ways in which these scenes are the same and yet so wholly different showcases how their touches are now no longer merely tied to their senses any longer, but also to their hearts as well.

here's everyone from Café Chick all together!

siffrin - the newest employee, recruited from the gas station around the corner. still learning how to function in a healthy work environment. loop - an alter in the same system as siffrin. they're better at making it through tense situations than siffrin, but that doesn't mean they handle them well. mirabelle - she's worked there the longest, but turned down the promotion to manager. that's a lot of responsibility and she's still figuring out what she wants to do with her life. isabeau - recently bumped up his hours after burning out of college. he's not great at latte art, but he has fun. odile - took the manager position as a way to escape her stressful corporate office job. it's nice being part of something smaller and more tangible. nille - usually comes in bright and early to bake the pastries. she's started working towards getting her GED, too. bonnie - in their first year of middle school. whenever nille has a shift outside of school hours, they hang out in the shop, doing homework and playing DS games. euphrasie - owns the coffee shop. she puts any extra profit towards the underfunded local house of change, where she's a member of the board.

i'm working on some silly little posts for this au, but feel free to send asks too if there's anything you'd like to hear more about!

EDIT: changed nearly everyone's color schemes bc i found the Q&A where id5 assigned them favorite colors and it was going to bug me forever if i didn't change them to match, lmao

I'm late to the Addisons appreciation party, but I brought snacks I hope you'll enjoy??

I really like the idea that they have a natural glow, but I also find it funny how they're CMY essentially, or highlighters. In the additive model in colour light theory, white is the combination of all the colours, while magenta/yellow/cyan are the main secondary colours.

I thought what if Spamton's original purpose was not to stand out on his own like the other colours but to accentuate them? Give them that extra boost, that extra glow so they shine brighter..... which could lead to wanting to branch out on his own, so on and so forth.

Being white means he can have access to all the colours, just can't use it for long (identity theft is no laughing matter, spamton)
