hm..... pomni taking peoples hand as a repeating image in the show..... happens in ep 1, with ragatha, its kinda evoked with her reaching for the final exit door, ep 2 is pretty blatant with it i dont need to say anything else on that, and in episode 3 the scene with kinger..... episode 4 doesnt have anything with this i dont think (i COULD technically say her raising her hand at the beginning of the ep but that is a MASSIVE stretch and doesnt fit with what the other instances seem to be representing. her waving at gummigoo MAYBE but the image just really isnt present in the episode, looking at it realistically) but im thinking about this...... cus i feel like its probably notable in the dream sequence in ep 2 that its her arm that gets all fucked up

#tadc #i need to look thru all these and note which of her hands it is these happen w...#i ALSO still need to make my color theory and my door theory #well... less of a theory #more me overanalyzing specific repeated images in the show for possible motifs HAHA #its not really theories... but it is fun!#also my color thing has to do w the idea that diff colors in the show represent different things #i think red blue and green in particular are EXTREMELY important #it feels intentional that the only of the main cast with green as a constant in their design is caine and gummigoo...#and now that i think abt it caines blue eye lines up with ragathas button eye #PLUS . pomnis eyes being red and blue...#i think blue has to do w the game and green has to do w... smth?#i gotta think on it more #and the door thing is that like #i feel like doors are a repeating image in the show too #all the diff doors pomni opens trying to find caine. the exit doors. the bedroom doors (and pomni opening hers to ragatha).#the normal and scary doors. the gate to the dumbwaiter. the door out of the hall of the damned. the door to zoobles room #the front door of spudsys. (the lack of doors in wherever it is jax goes). the door out of caines office #theres probably a case for the portals to the adventures being related butttt waves hand #look doors are normal in fiction doors are a normal thing but LOOK. if youre gonna spend the whole pilot talking about doors #and then make it a big component of ep 3 #im gonna get suspicious that youre using it as a symbol for smth ok....#(or repeatedly showing visuals of pomnis hand reaching other ppls hands)#(maybe the hole to the basement too but thatsss more of a stretch. but its certainly an entryway)#(smth smth its not shown visually in ep 4 because it happens more explictitly than in other eps. maybe?)#(...or maybe ep 3 was supposed to be the last usage of that imagery buuuut i dont think so i think itll come back... eventually. maybe ep 9 #the door to spudsys gets a special shoutout bc like #i feel like the show is very obviously doing some things when it shows pomni behind it as it gets closed #something something. gummigoo is content and can 'leave' and she cant and shes accepting that #i mean i think shes given up on going home by this ep so i feel like its more of like. a letting go of gummigoo
