#color exchange

[respectthepetty]

Yeah yeah yeah. Good for Ryu and Zen getting hit with the blinding light of love

And for having a soft color exchange (blue curtains, orange bed)

It's obvious they love each other while Zen wears both of their colors

BUT CAN I GET POLY?!

Atom obviously wants Zen

Like, carnally (scenes like this are such a blessing)

AND NOW HE IS ROLLING UP IN RYU'S BLUE!

Blue jacket! Blue shirt! Blue shorts!

Golf, you can't be doing this shit to me!

Atom cares about both of the boys because he was concerned where they went and even checked in on Grandma in their absence

Atom is in the blue light wearing a green shirt and green and orange shorts

This color-coded boy is tracking down his boyfriends

GRANDMA DESERVES THREE GRANDSONS!

Surprise @ornziy, I'm your secret Santa for AvA gift exchange :]. I did your third prompt: villain TSC Au

i will never give up the chance to make victim a terrible person so have some manipulative Vic

I don't think colour gang would be able to recognise TSC with how much they have changed in this AU

The bird may never fly in the sky again but it will be forever safe in the cage

My gift for @puddtoast for @dishonoredgiftexchange’s 2024 fugue feast. I went with the prompt of Aramis Stilton thinking about lost love in the wake of Luca’s downfall while listening to his last audiograph from Theodanis Abele, and then realizing he’ll be okay when a monarch butterfly lands on the audiograph player.

I’ve been head over heels for this emotional sucker punch of a prompt, so I hope I did it justice!! Also I’m delighted to have finally drawn Stilton for the first time. Thank you for providing such fun and detailed prompts to choose from! (Btw I didn’t know what symbolism you were hoping for - if any - when requesting a monarch, so I ran with what I grew up with, in terms of the whole “carrying souls of the dead” thing. Hope that works for you!)

Till's expressing himself through clothing – a rant

today's sad alnst thought of the day is that no matter how you view round 6, I think it's undeniable that ivan was able to give back to till a piece of himself that he lost after witnessing round 5

and i'm talking about this

I think Till outfits are important when it comes to discerning his mental state/attitude, both because of plot-related reasons (imo Till has a degree of power over deciding or at least selecting his clothes) and also character design (in a media like alnst, where most things are said by showing them, it's clear that vivimeng put lots of thought behind the visuals). We know nothing about the behind-the-scenes between r6 and r7, so we can just LOOK at Till to see if something changed

I said that Till has some power over his outfit choices because he's the only one who personalizes them, or so it looks like. It's very much in Till's rebellious nature to vandalize his outfits and I think both the r2 outfit (the spray-painted t-shirt, the patch hiding his branding, the lack of shoes) and the scene we see in the top 3 video (with graffiti all over the room and paint all over him) are proof of that. He's always shown drawing and doodling, so i think it's a fair assumption that when we see that on his clothing, it's his handiwork.

And that... disappears in round 6. Whether we look at his outfit in the actual round or when he's entertaining segyeins, he's dressed in muted, dark clothing. Very put together for his previous standards, almost elegant with his delicate, silver accessories (thin chains and tasteful earrings)

Gone is the asymmetry and the rage. Till is mourning and so he dresses for a funeral... either for Mizi (who's gone and presumed(?) dead) or for himself (without Mizi, he has no reason to keep going. he entered alien stage and stayed in anakt for her). Whether he 1) chose his outfits before and let the aliens take over in his grief or 2) fought the aliens on previous outfits to personalize them and stopped after r5, i think in both cases his clothes show how much he has given up

and then we have round 7

First of all, the color is back. Acid green and white pants. The tech gear too, in place of delicate chains. The hair is slicked back, similar to the scene out of stage in r6, but it doesn't feel as tamed

and i apologize in advance for the frame i'm about to use to prove this point (only scene we see till full figure in r7) but

THE SPRAY PAINTING CAME BACK!! on the pants!! Personally I think both the red and the two stripes are Till's addition, you could argue that the blood isn't bc it's just the pants done like this but it looks handmade to me, splotchy. Very likely to be Till's hand.

So going back to my initial point: something has changed between r6 and r7. In r7, Till FIGHTS with everything he has. He doesn't let Luka speak over him, he tries his best. He falters, but he enters the stage with a spark, a determination that was notably absent in r6

I think it's significant that we get this in Mizi's pov

because Mizi RECOGNIZES Till. Not in the sense that she didn't know it was him, but in the sense that it's the Till she knew from anakt: wild, rebellious, hateful towards the system. He's raging and screaming, putting on a wild performance.

And Ivan's sacrifice is what gets him like this. It allowed him to live, of course, but if we read deeper there's also something else. In r6, it's the first time we see Ivan openly defying the segyeins. It's pretty obvious that he didn't have the love Mizi had for them and he disobeyed multiple times (running away with Till is the prime example), but he put on a façade all the time. I would say it's exactly what allows him to get away with so much: he's so well-behaved that no one suspects him. He has no leash because, in the segyeins' eyes, he never tried to escape (and he never will, bc just like Till will choose to go back to Mizi every time, Ivan will stay for Till as well).

The only times we see him rebelling is: 1) the scene on the rooftop when he was still in the slums; 2) in r6, when he defies all expectations and "cheats" so that Till wins

Ivan fell in love with Till after seeing how defiant he was. And Till regains his spark, his will to rebel, after Ivan's sacrifice, when he chooses to publicly go against the aliens for the first time since he was a child.

i've seen a lot of talk about how Ivan was Till's downfall: because Till cared much more than Ivan thought, because Luka used that moment with Ivan (and not Mizi) to bring him down. It's all true and very tragic, but I think it's really important to note something else too

Till was able to be himself again (even if just for the span of a single song) because of what Ivan did. Ivan's act of love wasn't wasted.

Not only am I getting this in episode seven of The Rebound

But Ryu is also wearing Zen's shirt when he gets out of the hospital.

This shirt was already a perfect mix of their colors, but now they are exchanging more clothing?!

I'm giddy!

[murmurmurl]

that took a long time but it's here!!!!!!

a @winter-sekai-gift-exchange gift for @ruifictiveapproved !!!!! polysho royal au yay!!!!

I'm gonna explain a little how this works I think?? Uhm. Emu and Rui are princess/prince if their respective kingdoms. Nene is the court wizard in Rui's kingdom! While Tsukasa is something of Emu's personal knight? The two kingdoms have a pretty strained relationship, but that doesn't affect how Rui and Emu that each other, they're cool. Tsukasa keeps wanting to fight Rui to protect Emu though (he's warming up to him though, it's hard to resist!)! Nene was at first wary of Emu and disliked Tsukasa, sticking close to Rui. Emu quickly melted her though,,,, They have their little secret outings like that, where usually Emu and Tsukasa talk a lot!

@stormbreaker101 , I’m your secret gift giver! I decided to go with the 3rd prompt, which was to draw a scene from any of your AvA fics on ao3! So here’s the CG watching Plan Bee via Red’s suggestion and to everyone else’s dismay :D I went with this specific one cause i actually read the one shot this is based on before I found out you were my giftee so this was extra fun! Hopefully this is well enough and it actually looks like they’re watching the movie LOL
