Me: Not everything is S Y M B O L I S M. Sometimes the curtains are just blue. Sometimes the author just thinks blue is neat. And that's okay.

Also me, writing Singularity specifically:

Sorry if this has been asked before, but how did you decide on Foxglove as a nickname for Rosalie? I'm curious specifically because I looked it up while reading your fics because... curiosity, and foxgloves are used for heart failure because they're a cardiac steroid, which is FASCINATING because Rosalie is metaphorically SOMETHING THAT COULD MAKE ASTARION'S STILL HEART BEAT AGAIN. Like. THE POETRY!!!!

every day i learn something new about foxgloves and every day i cry at how funny it is.

how did I decide on Foxglove as a nickname for Rosalie? well, she's purple.

I wish it was more deep than that, in hindsight, but she's purple and she has freckles and foxgloves have freckles, and I like the trope of silly pet names. and now every time i get a comment about the language of flowers or facts about foxgloves I lose my mind. none of it was intentional, but all of it fits.

Kind of neat, tbh.

"Idk man, maybe the curtains are just blue"

Me, a writer, who painstakingly described every single object in a room as grey to give the reader a sense of the lack of emotion in the room: "hahaha... are you sure?"

i've been going down a rabbit hole with youtube videos discussing the shining, and while i dismiss those "theory" dudebro youtube videos that talk about the shining being code for kubrick faking the moon landing or whatever just on principle, there's something that i need to say.

so, there's this poster that literally just appears in the background of a scene in the film. that's it. it's just there. it's a silhouette of a skier with the only legible words being "ski monarch" at the bottom.

for some reason, so many people have come up with all these super involved theories about how "monarch" is actually the name of like a government mind control program. or how the skier's legs bend backwards, signifying it's a supernatural creature and therefore "monarch" is actually code for "minotaur", which should be at the heart of the hotel's hedge mage.

but as someone who's actually from colorado (where the shining takes place), these theories just make me cackle like a witch on adderall.

guys, guys. it's literally just a ski resort. it's a relatively small ski resort deep in rural colorado that's been there since 1939. it's been called monarch mountain since 1939. the slogan that they use in most of their advertising is "ski monarch". the reason the skier's legs look like that is just because that's what people's legs do when you ski, the silhouette just removes the definition. some prop director probably brought that on to add authenticity to the set because the shining, famously. takes place in colorado. in the winter. where and when skiing is known to happen.
