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.

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: 😍

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.

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…”

Ok here's attempt two!!!! Here's my made-for-fun redesign of Loop!

They've got a blackhole in their head, the chains are connected to the universe and fade off (though for more literal, are attached to the Favor Tree)

not fully sure about the silhouette or the outfit in general but!!! its a step in the right direction

@cubicsimulation said: okay hear me out: night sky starry patterned poncho with an open front

Tried it, i don't know how clothes work well enough to do it justice :,)

but!!! i do like the shape a bit better! the problem might be trying to reuse the outfit from above w/out considering the new shape language/what was removed

I’m late to this whole debacle but for the record, I have been messaged by people in Gaza who thought that I was involved in the fundraiser vetting process and sent me photos of their government IDs and documentation. I know a little of what Hussein, Nairuz, Ahmed, Ibtisam, and others use to vet people and make sure that they’re legit, and that’s part of why I confidently cite them as a source. To try and discredit them and smear them as scam artists, along with the genocide victims that they’re trying so hard to help, is fucking beyond the pale.

The reason I’ve been inactive on this blog and focusing instead on compiling resources in order to bring more ppl onto the fundraiser blog is that the work I was doing was spiraling into a 12-hour a day endeavor with just myself, and it was making me so physically and mentally ill that I could barely move or think, so I had to step back and figure out a better way to organize things. And I’m not even doing the actually hard part of this work. I do not vet people. I do not have any skin in this game as a white USAmerican. It’s not my family who are dying in Gaza. I also have not been targeted for harassment or account bans. I literally cannot fucking fathom the physical and mental strain that Palestinian bloggers on this platform have been going through nonstop for nearly a year now.

I still remember being shocked when I saw that Hussein had come back to tumblr after having to take a break due to having a heart attack. Ibtisams, who vetted people and organized all sorts of fundraising efforts all while grieving her father and little sister killed in Gaza, was forced to come back to tumblr to make a statement about how she was in an inpatient facility because people had the gall to impersonate her in order to scam people. Ahmed literally escaped Gaza because of a very well documented fundraising effort here on tumblr, no thanks to the cunts at GoFundMe who made things as difficult as possible every step of the way, and has since spent time and effort helping other people who had hopes of sharing his success. Calling these people scammers is fucking unbelievable. Some of you wouldn’t know solidarity if it bit you in the ass.

If getting messages in your inbox from people trying to escape a genocide makes you uncomfortable, fucking suck it up. Or disable your inbox, I guess. Do literally anything else besides using your platform to direct harassment and slander at people who are trying to survive a genocide. This website is already quite literally engaging in tech apartheid by targeting users in Gaza so constantly, you don’t need to gleefully join in by tagging staff and asking them to terminate people. Fucking unconscionable behavior. I hope that it will follow everyone involved for the rest of their lives.
