#and they have matching glasses

[tallsc]

Okay something I'm noticing with the current Green arc (which I've found incredibly interesting as a whole btw, I've just been busy irl so haven't found the time or words to do a full analysis on or contribute to every amazing analysis I've seen by other people) is the glasses.

Note: I don't have Tiktok and don't really have the ability to view things on it, and I don't have an Instagram either, so I may be missing a few things. I'm mainly focusing on the Youtube aspect of this.

I've seen mention that Green's been losing energy, getting less involved with their friends, and generally doing more clickbait-y and iffy videos. But also they've been starting to wear these glasses more - and I think that's a pretty direct representation of when Green's behavior, energy, creations, and friendship have all been going downhill.

For the basketball, superhero saga, and most of the Minecraft vlog (also the Tiktok announcement, which I'm not sure where that fits in), Green has just been Green, no glasses or anything. And that's when they seem to have the most energy, and have been doing things with their friends. Sure it's silly and a bit over-the-top, but it seems like everyone's legitimately having fun, and everyone's involved. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the popups and stuff over the vlog video was done by other sticks just wildly tossing in effects like they did in the first official video.

But at the end of the vlog video, and for most of the recent things, Green put on these orange-rimmed sunglasses. And the end of the vlog video is when we first started seeing the rest of the CG looking less than pleased with the videos. And after that, Green's started doing things that not even they seem happy with - the couch challenge, or the eating grass.

So I believe the sunglasses are a symbol of that. Of abandoning friendship in favor of personal goals, and losing yourself and your enjoyment of the world in the process.

Because this isn't even the first time a similar pair of sunglasses were used to express that.

Orange abandoned their friends so Orange could do something they thought would be better and make them happier. Until they realized it didn't, and realized they were wrong, then they put down the glasses and went back for their friends.

Hopefully Green learns to put down the glasses too.

honestly shout out to faceted black glass buttons. one of my favorite front-closure options for tops

like, look at these little gals:

understated, but with undeniable visual interest! not too bland, but not going to distract from anything else on your jacket, blouse, or bodice! a bit of sparkle that's cheaper and less fragile than bead appliques! not plastic, which is key purely because fuck plastic beyond medical/safety applications!

some have fancier designs in the faceting:

some have gold lustre, which pulls a BIT more focus but still not too much:

(I got a full set of 6 with little gold butterflies on them. it was fate. I love them so much)

she's carrying the entire Black Or Jewel-Tone Tops world on her shoulders and we should all say Thank You, Faceted Black Glass Buttons

If you had asked Danny what he'd be doing that night, he might have answered with a variety of things. He might have said taking down a small time crook. Or maybe even scavenging for some dinner. But never in a million years would he have guessed he'd currently be carrying an unconscious Superboy to a random address he blurted out before passing out.

When he finally made it to the apartment, the door opened before he could even knock and a tall hunk of man towarded over him. And of course the first thing Danny said in all of his stupid glory was "Umm hi. Special delivery?" Someone end him now.

In some multiverse, Loki, Cruella and James Bond are in the same event, along with Spider-Man, who is as usual, making use of his spider sense.

There’s also a witch around - not Wanda or Agatha Harkness - but she sucks, so she’s out of framing.

“I had a dream, though,” I say, thinking back. “I was following a mockingjay through the woods. For a long time. It was Rue, really. I mean, when it sang, it had her voice.” “Where did she take you?” he says, brushing my hair off my forehead. “I don’t know. We never arrived.” I say. “But I felt happy.” ... Peeta pulls the chain with the gold disk from around his neck. He holds it in the moonlight so I can clearly see the mockingjay. Then his thumb slides along a catch I didn’t notice before and the disc pops open. It’s not solid, as I had thought, but a locket. And within the locket are photos. […] “Your family needs you, Katniss,” Peeta says. My family. My mother. My sister. And my pretend cousin Gale. But Peeta’s intention is clear. That Gale really is my family, or will be one day, if I live. That I’ll marry him. So Peeta’s giving me his life and Gale at the same time. To let me know I shouldn’t ever have doubts about it. Everything. That’s what Peeta wants me to take from him. ... He puts the chain with the locket around my neck, then rests his hand over the spot where our baby would be. “You’re going to make a great mother, you know,” he says. ... As I drift off, I try to imagine that world, somewhere in the future, with no Games, no Captiol. A place like the meadow in the song I sang to Rue as she died. Where Peeta’s child could be safe. ....
