A Little LB/BM Character Color Theory
Being a film nerd has been a huge part of my life. I watch endless movie breakdowns, reviews, things you missed, etc. One of my favorite fellow cinephiles would do breakdowns and always highlight color theory and the ways they were used in whatever film or show she was breaking down. After a couple of recent convos here, I felt a bit inspired.
Bree Matthews (Name meaning: high, noble, exalted)
Bree’s root is red and Arthur’s power is blue (more on these colors later) which combine to make purple. Purple (at least in the U.S.) denotes nobility, royalty, magic, mystery, and the supernatural. Since I am an 80’s baby, I also think of the film and book The Color Purple and how the symbolism of pain and bruising were used (Pain welded blade/wound turned weapon). When Bree forges Excalibur again, the stone in the pommel is described as a deep purple which I thought was an intentional choice for Bree. In my reading it is stated that purple is seen as mysterious and supernatural due to its rarity in nature. Also, a fitting trait for Bree. In The Color Purple it is stated, “I think it pisses God off if you walk past the color purple in a field and don’t notice it.” Indeed.
Selwyn Emrys Kane (Name meaning: Manor friend, immortal)
Sel’s aether is described as silver blue. Some of the other colors associated with him are gold and black. Silver hints at modern affluence and intuition (his hunches that something wasn’t right in LB). It can symbolize enlightenment (that damn classics major) and is also enigmatic (so Sel). The blue symbolizes trust, reliability, and loyalty. Sel’s gold eyes denote prestige and influence (oh those mesmers!). Though they go through different phases of gold to amber and burnt sienna, the striking gold glow of Sel’s eyes set him apart and identify him at the same time. Lastly, the mystery of the color black. Sel has charcoal and obsidian feathers tattooed on his back. Black feathers can symbolize not a physical death, but the end of something unwanted (relationships and/or situations). It is also said that seeing a black feather is a message from an ancestor encouraging forward movement. We only read about this before he takes Bree to the Davis’ house to snoop. I know he owlshifts (not getting into owl symbolism here) but I thought that was an interesting detail. Sel’s favorite color also symbolizes elegance and power and exudes authority. Black seduces and intimidates, but also denotes power and protection (think the selection gala).
Nicholas Davis (Name meaning: Victory of the people)
There is not a ton of color theory for Nick, however the colors that are associated with him are pretty spot on. Nick’s room is described as having blues and whites. Nick is also blue-eyed (described as storm-cloud blue). The color white denotes purity and innocence as well as providing hope and clarity. It symbolizes balance, simplicity, and clarity along with a fresh start. The way Nick shows up for Bree and is a safe place for her, a place of clarity and calmness is sooo him. As I mentioned earlier the other color that shows up for him is blue, symbolizing trust, loyalty, and responsibility. Nick is the golden boy, the one that everyone looks to no matter how uncomfortable and reluctant he is to accept this. As a side note, his name (a variation of my name, Nikoe) which means victory of the people makes me think of how he ambiguously explained to Bree that he could see another way to live. So curious to see where that goes.
William Sitterson (Name meaning: Willing protector)
Oh William! I just want to squeeze him Elmira style (sorry, 80’s baby, 90’s kid). The green of Sir Gawain symbolizes harmony and health. A color that calms and revitalizes the body. If that isn’t our precious William I don’t know what is! This color is seen everywhere in nature and gives us hope and promise of growth. William has continuously offered safety through his prioritization of consent and healing. Green is an exemplifier of optimal health and well-being (think green smoothies!) Green denotes a balance between head and heart. Green maintains order and is refreshingly considerate. William is green personified!
Last but not least…
Erebus Verelian (Name meaning: Personification of darkness who was also married to Nyx in Greek lore, which is the name he called Natasia, but I digress)
The colors associated with Erebus are black (smoke, shadow crown, void cuffs, black aether spear, wings made of ink) and red, deep, dark red, almost black. Since I have already discussed the symbolism of the color black, I will discuss the red here. Before I do though, I thought it was a nice touch to have the black of the Great Devourer, devour all the light in his vicinity, “Black smoke in the form of a man, filling the air with the scent of brimstone. The air nearest his form is leached of light.” Red is the color of passion and energy. It is strong and powerful and can be used to warn and signal caution and danger. Bree’s red root only activates when she is threatened, and The Shadow King is threat incarnate. It is also a symbol of revenge and desire. We know that the SK wants his court back and seeks revenge on Arthur for defeating him. We see the same red in Valec’s eyes when he is “battle ready.” Red is striking, bold, and dominant. It is the color of scars and bloodshed. The deep red of Erebus’ eyes are ancient rage and power ready to do battle for what he feels is rightfully his.
Whew! That was a lot! Curious to hear if I missed any colors (I’m sure I did).

Featured Post: Legends: Catori by maggie Adams
"About Legends: Catori: It’s hard to keep secrets in a small town… It’s even harder to keep a secret that could expose not only your family, but an entire species. That’s what Frankie Cavanaugh must do. As the daughter of the leader of the Wisdom Council, it’s up to her to step into her father’s shoes until another leader is chosen. It’s also up to her to continue her lineage within the species. She wants to do neither. She considers the shifter gene a curse rather than a gift, robbing her of a normal life. Unfortunately, the Council doesn’t see it that way and is determined to wed her to their next leader – by force, if necessary. Tanner Coalson is fresh out of college and ready to tackle whatever life has in store for him. First item on his to-do list is marrying the woman he has loved for years. He knows Frankie will balk at the notion because she’s fifteen years older and was his childhood sitter. He’s no longer a young boy, but a man who is determined to win her heart, and he is prepared to do just that. But convincing her they are destined to be together gets much harder when she is kidnapped by an old enemy. In order to survive, Frankie may have to reveal her secret, and Tanner may have to accept what seems impossible or reject the love of his life.

Do you have a to do list for PENS?
Like... A list of things you would like to write them in, being it ship or short stories with them randomly? Or maybe things you would like draw?
Art
Drawing happens when it happens, to be honest. I have nothing planned besides the Wonderland AU designs (I've drawn them before incredibly rough so I'll possibly recreate something cleaner for uploading here).
I'd like to draw scenes from Gatito, or any other fic of mine would be nice. Or countless sketches of Port with luscious long hair. 🤣
Writing
There's a few things I have in mind already, it's just a case of sitting down and writing them! (italics = fics which are planned/starting to be written)
EngSpa & NedPort
Konijntje Wonderland AU Owlshifter AU Fairytale AU The actual pirate fic which will happen when Gatito is finished
Engspa
Teacher AU Konijntje prequel Spectre & Duende sequel
Nedport
The Tenant of Flat 23
I'd like to try different genres for these guys perhaps (horror, thriller), but whether I can pull those off is another matter.
