S1E6 The Case of the Creeping Forest

We got canon height/weight/build/complexion/nationality/etc stats!

Also a list of coordinates, outfits (Edwin's constant waistcoats cracked me up), "known by"?

"Slight" and "Medium Slight" = Twinks confirmed?

[petr1kov]

here's the scene i've mentioned before where nemesis and melinoë talk about hypnos, for those who wanted to see it!

You think I don't want to see you? I know you don't.

Role reversal/balance of power between Wei Qian and Wei Zhiyuan as seen through camera language/shot composition

EP 1-6 Wei Qian is seen at a higher position of "power" than Yuan; EP7 and on that is reversed

EP 1: Wei qian is placed much higher than yuan in the scene. This shot of wei qian is almost god-like. There is light coming from his direction. In yuan's eyes he is the pillar, his savior, lending a hand down to pull him out of darkness.

How many times throughout EP 3-6 can they show us the worshipping at your feet, I am at your beck and call position? Wei qian very much sits in the role of an older brother/guardian, and yuan is often placed to be looking up at him. They are not yet on the same level.

------

Wei Zhiyuan returns and he's in control

After EP 7, we get more top-down shots of Wei qian, making him look more vulnerable. He's often looking up at yuan.

And Yuan towers over him.

------

Their position on the slope during the EP10 confession scene is telling

Yuan is at the taller end of the hill. He is in control of this conversation. He asks the questions while Wei qian fumbles to explain.

Wei qian is standing on the lower end of the slope so he has to look even further up at yuan. He's in a vulnerable position as he finally confesses his feelings.

But in the end, their positions reverse:

In this moment, Wei qian holds the power to make a choice. And he finally takes that step forward and grabs onto yuan.

stepping through scenes™ as i do and

...there was another shoulder touch?

THERE HAD BEEN ANOTHER SHOULDER TOUCH?????

[hanzajesthanza]

hold up actually. wait a second. i always loved this passage and even referenced it recently on here, but...

it occurred to me (a straight hair-haver) that... while this routine to brush through your hair thoroughly at night would be a good care habit for someone with straight hair, wouldn't it be a bad idea for someone with naturally curly hair to do this? wouldn't brushing her hair dry with a comb (she later puts away the comb in a box), nightly, mess up her hair?

For context, I'm trying to build up my portfolio again as well as get myself working in 3D once more. Figured why not use my current interests as a way to do that?

Currently just thinking of making still dioramas, focusing on environments from the books and maybe some simplified models for placing characters in said scenes.

in which scenes of the books are you most certain that declan is ovulating

GREAT QUESTION i think he is ovulating when he brings ashley to monmouth for sure:

also the dream thieves gray man effervescent good teeth scene—the gray man sensed declan ovulating that’s why the scene is Like That:

this thinly veiled freudian attempt to feel a mother’s comfort when seondeok calls him in the raven king:

also in trk when ronan not going to college causes This Reaction:

and that first fairy market in cdth (“they make me want to goddamn cry,” revealing his excellent sexy unforgettable shoes to jordan, giving her his number, buying the dark lady):

mister impossible by the time we’re married scene:

bonus because this isn’t technically a scene in the book but the specific declan henry seondeok feud referenced in gw epilogue happened while declan was ovulating:

ANDDD it was a henrydeclan divorce!!!!!

do you think there is any chance Rubin will start growing ny hair out on his head again? because (considering your lore about him) the time he was trying to remain celibate is gone, so not a monk; the time when he was at war is gone (well, maybe not fully of course. one can simply imagine such things don't go away so easily. but still), and now he's not a soldier. is it #Bald forever or is there hope?

this is such a beautiful ask i love the world it conjures (which is mine) okay let's do this.

ok in my mind's eye rubin pre-The Baldening had long hair like pretty long hair. longer than current-events peter but shorter than pre-events peter [who had it to the waist or something]. so the transformation of long haired -> bald was immediate, drastic and jarring. in p2 burakh says "I'll be damned… you shaved your head. Preparing to become a monk? Or a soldier?" & since in p2 the Rubin War Lore doesn't stand (however i make it stand) the Monk thing is like. as possible as the soldiering. (in canonverse i don't think he meaningfully contemplated monkness[?] because he is not like pious in that way, however he'd have considered hermiticism/secular anchoritism). so he went from long-haired to Bald for multiple reasons, including asceticism, sharp separation with his old life (some cultures have hair-cutting as a traditions of grief), and also because a ponytail in the army is not that useful or safe (but most of the reasons are internal/psychological in nature).

as the Events unfold however... i think he considers growing his hair back he does. however, he needed decades to grow his hair as long as it got to be, so he hesitates, because the awkward stage of bald -> meaningfully long is like. pretty damn long. he's not sure he wants to deal with the short scruff of growing back out a buzzcut. he might just stay #Bald forever. sorry.

in the concept of of the peterstakh [you are on the peterstakh blog.] i think on one hand peter Would Love to see him with his long hair... but it'd take a while... so in the meantime he creates dreams out of pictures he's shown of rubin age 20 with his long hair. he creates dreams and he braids their hair together. in dreams. also purely as a "opposite attracts" thing: the concept of Bald x Luscious very entertaining to me. also i think peter loves his #Baldness because he gets to do shit like this:

welcome back to Mental Illness Has Taken Me Places I Would Never Go Otherwise

Today's episode "What Cigarette Brands Do Sawashiro and Arakawa Smoke"

i'm pretty sure most RGG characters smoke hi-lite honestly (kashiwagi also smokes it) but yeah. sawashiro's among them. basic bitch.

[the real-life box isn't the exact same as the in-game box as it's more yellow than eggshell, but this was the closest i could find]

arakawa's on that Peace pack though- you can tell from the very slim bits of the bird's wings as well as the olive branch you can see, the 'P', 'E', 'A', and 'C', and those gold lines bordering the box

thank you for joining me on this episode if you'd like me to investigate more incredibly-niche topics please submit an inquiry through the hospital they're keeping me in

everybody is so mean to rhett in his opening scene, between perry heckling him and basically calling him a slut, to his mom being like “make it yourself!” when he asks if there’s anymore coffee. i know they’re annoyed that he’s hungover and slept late but like 😭 don’t worry baby boy, i’ll make you coffee and breakfast
