…Okay now that that is out of the way please allow me to scream about my favorite rainbros in a slightly less feral way.

Vio - my eggplant rollatini. Say it as many times as you want but that tunic is not violet. Your color square is lying to you.

Vio is very much Four's reasoning and logic. Despite having his own emotions his actions are all logic based: he split to surprise Wild out of his own head, he's not concerned about the others because Wild killed the iron knuckle, and he's okay with Wild running off because he thinks Wild needs to cool off.

All of these are calculated moves. He's not concerned about the emotional aspect and so his actions, while reasonable, are pretty cold to everyone. He's not really considering what splitting in front of Wild would do besides snapping him back to reality nor is he thinking about any hurt feelings on Wild’s behalf.

And that is just the coolest thing! Logic and reason, disconnected from emotion, can really quickly turn stone cold so I LOVE seeing that on display here.

Blue - My blueberry pie! Your hair tucked behind your ear and constant shade give me life, amen

At the absolute other end of the spectrum, we have one of the emotionally driven parts of Four - angry, bold, feisty. I love that his first action is to step up on Wild and dare the champion to push him away again. Without anything holding him back, Blue really embodies Four's anger and confidence.

But what's really jumping out at me is that Blue is the part of Four that insists that Twilight is going to be fine. Which really surprised me because I thought it would be Red or Green.

Whereas Vio seems to understand there's a chance Twi will die, Blue just up and says "No one's gonna die!". Then he says later that they shouldn't "be so hasty to give our enemy a victory". His confidence doesn't just extend to his own abilities, apparently - it's a testament to Four's faith in Twilight. Blue is ready to defend Twilight but he seems to really trust in his strength, too.

Also him yelling at Vio to explain Four's reasoning is just the funniest fucking thing Blue really said "YOU DON'T PAY ME TO THINK >:("

Green - My little string bean please take better care of yourself

Our leader and embodiment of the heroic spirit!

Green was all over the place. Filling in as the leader and most stable version of Four, Green was doing everything he could to mitigate the risk to Twilight. Even the risk his other parts posed.

As the one who seems to embody the heroic spirit the most, Green was focused pretty solely on managing the external risks of his overly emotional parts and Wild. Using emotional suppression, of course, because god forbid any of these heroes solve their problems any other way!

When he spoke to Wild he pretty clearly appealed to Wild's heroic side and pretty much requested Wild pull himself together because Twilight didn't need this shit right now. It was an act completely devoid of care for Wild's mental state, but in a different way than Vio's was. Where Vio is sticking to facts, Green is just pulling the normal heroic stupidity of "Nothing matters but saving the person in distress, even at the cost of my own well-being".

And he keeps that up, even when interacting with his other selves. He quiets Red, not with comforting words but by just demanding Red stop crying. He also offers himself up as a target for Blue and Vio, willing to physically fight himself to save Twilight. This is good for Twilight, but it doesn't really solve any of Four's complex feelings on the matter - all he did was bury them under the weight of responsibility. He's able to get past that for now but who knows how long that damn will hold.

And speaking of breaking dams, let's talk about our most adorable Four- Red. Our cranberry and cream cheese muffin. (Can you tell I’m hungry?)

He's Four's emotional core. He's feeling everything Four was working so hard to suppress. His fear, his pain, his grief - everything. It's all on Red's shoulders. And it's not just the burden of Twilight's injury, either; Red is concerned about Wild too. He's really the only one, actually, because everyone else is so focused on the goal. He tries to stop Wild and stares after him before the colors are recombined, obviously wanting to go to Wild to help him. He calls out Vio for his plan, well aware that the shock of the split probably did some damage to Wild's psyche. He also turns on Blue, who really didn't help by jumping straight at Wild's throat. While everyone else is focused on Twilight's physical well-being, Red is the only one to care about everyone's internal well-being.

Of course being in a hero, he's pretty quickly reined in by the other parts of Four who are content with pushing all that emotion to the side. But if we ever see these colors again I'm willing to bet Red will have a rather pivotal role, since he's literally the most emotionally open Link we’ve ever seen.

And now that i've gushed about the colors, here are a few other things I really loved about this update:

1. Wild looking like he just discovered he's in a simulation. His hands reaching out like he's gonna try to touch the matrix was so fucking funny to me. And everyone ignoring Wild's questions! This guy asks, rightly, What the fuck am I looking at? And everyone just ignores him completely! Like I know it wasn't supposed to be funny but it was actually hysterical on repeat viewings. Look at him:

He's so lost

2. The Champions. OMG what gorgeous work! The amount of detailing is jaw dropping! Oh, and Revali! He's so fucking FLUFFY!! Who gave him the right to look so cuddly? No wonder this guy was so determined to prove himself he looks like a baby!

3. Wild's breakdown. I don't normally talk about Wild but it was pretty freaking cool to see his brain start folding itself like an omlette. His grip on reality is kaput and it seems like this is going to be worse than just his usual stare into the distance as he watches a BOTW cutscene. I am actually tentatively excited to see where it goes.
