Lighting and El and Hopper - Full Analysis (pt.56)

Everything. Is bad.

S4:E9 - Reunions (#2) 

Shadows deepening, Vecna lighting, weird cabin stuff that doesn’t look right, curtains covering windows in frame- this is a concerning scene. And it’s got the same energy as the scene we just saw with Mike and Will. Bad energy.

Very. BAD. ENERGY. So the whole room just loses saturation when we’re looking at Hopper (or Vecna, who knows at this point). And he looks a bit menacing here. 

But the saturation comes back as he walks into the room, but the blue is still behind that door. Hopper’s also joined the “I’m wearing blue and yellow” crew. So, Will’s not alone now.

Then when they hug we don’t see Hopper’s face. And that’s weird. There’s a dark ring around the shot that’s got some sinister undertones as well. It’s also similar to when Max hugged her mom but it was actually just a vision. And her mom turned into Vecna. (Also weird that Hopper doesn’t hug El with both arms at first. i didn’t catch this at first bc it looks normal to me- but did something happen to Hopper’s arm? That I don’t remember? Anyways it’s relevant later- and Hopper might be the Hand of Vecna. Or using the hand of Vecna. The imagery matters more than the lore.)

I don’t think this is like. A whole different actor (I went down that rabbit hole. And I’m, 95% sure that’s David Harbor.) But I do think somethings going on here.

There’s just a lot of contrast between these shots. When we do get to see Hopper things look mostly normal but when his face is hidden shit gets weird.

(The vignette- that’s what the dark fading camera/picture thing is called. It’s also used a lot in the Umbrella Academy’s most recent season. To add sinister undertones and dark foreshadowing to specific rooms.) The vignette lessons when we’re looking at Hopper through El’s eyes. But when we see the opening in the curtain, we also see the darkness around them.

Hopper sees El in the light, crying. And El sees Hopper smiling.

But the curtains are only partially open. 

Also- Hopper’s hat. The way it was used to hide his face/his expression is similar to Mike’s California outfit. And the visor was used at the airport and at Rink O’ Mania to hide his reactions. 

The room is half light, half dark when El and Hopper sit down. In front of a partially closed set of curtains. 

The darkness follows Hopper. 

The contrast between Hopper and El reaching out is in the light. And how El is the light. And Hopper is the dark. 

Kinda evens out here though. Bu the shadows also begin to get a bit darker behind them, so maybe not.

And again, El’s in the light, while Hopper’s in cool tones, and has Vecna lighting surrounding him. 

It’s repeated and has grouped Mike and Hopper in the darkness/related to Vecna, and Will and El in the light. (although Will also has some relation to Vecna). The cabin scene with Mike and Will is at first glance a positive thing. Vecna’s alive, sure, but Mike and Will have each others backs. Looking a bit closer, everything about that scene is ominous. It’s the same with El and Hopper’s reunion. At first we see El and Hopper, and we’re happy that El knows Hoppers alive. But then it’s clear that something is deeply wrong.

So I have been reading svsss here is my first contribution to this fandom

I’m sure Dumat being defeated the same year andraste was born means nothing

I’m sure this has nothing to do with the fact that andrastes mother was part of a tribe who helped the grey wardens fight and defeat dumat the same year she was born, meaning that she could have been a fetus affected by the taint in the proximity of a dying arch demon

And the fact that nobody knows which grey warden killed dumat, as seven wardens died from injuries from his death throes, and therefore we cannot actually identify a warden who absorbed his soul, means nothing

And I’m sure it is a complete coincidence that andraste had dreams and visions of the being later referred to as the maker her whole life, and behaved strangely, talking about hearing lost voices and seeing strange auras. That absolutely doesn’t sound like anyone else we know

Charles: "Hey Edwin, did I leave the spyglass at that witch's house?" *gets huffy when Edwin isn't listening* *affecionately mocks Edwin to get a rise out of him* *Doesn't work, Edwin doesn't respond* *Visibly flounders a bit* "Sooooo you've been spending a lot of time with Monty!! You!!! And Monty!!! Spending a lot of time!!! Together!!! Don't forget we're trying to leave Port Townsend!!"

Edwin: *puts book down* *gives Charles the undivided attention and reassurance he so clearly is craving* *apologizes*

Charles, without even the slightest hesitation: 😍

... so yeah basically he's whipped, your honor. I rest my case

I have been sketching. So much tma. Here's some expansions on my Jon and Martin designs I've been doing.

Another note I forgor to mention is I love how after hearing Simon go "it's enough to make your hair turn white" about Martin's office in s4 many of us collectively agreed his hair turned white because of his association with the Lonely. The shared consciousness is real and we use it to play hot potato with the communal brain cell dedicated to the sillies.

Closeup of apocalypse boyfriends (also to the person who said they love my s5 Jon's fancy white girl updo: I think about that every day)

I’m assuming my period skipped this month because two medical emergencies that put your body into crisis will do that to you but damned if the Christian trauma of the virgin birth doesn’t linger in the back of my head going “but what if…”
