I love your interpretation of the lamb, who's almost always calm and not much surprises them anymore. When's the last time they had a serious emotional moment, either angry or sad, where their facade totally cracked? I can't help but imagine it must have been a very long time ago.

sometimes you find out that the divinity you worshipped wholeheartedly has a mortal name and was once the brother of the bishops you vowed to slaughter, chained for a petty familial disagreement, trivializing the deaths of your people, and proving that all gods were inherently false idols as they were made through crowns and not born, and you have to separate your feelings for your god from the pedestal you put him on, and reassess what it actually means to kill a god. But figure it out quick because you’ll have to lay your life down for that god soon to set him free ❤️

I think Pin's adopted mom/aunt/whatever is a lesbian.

First rule of a QL (BL or GL) is everyone is queer until proven otherwise.

Second, she isn't married and for someone who keeps emphasizing the point that Anin and Pin will have to get married, why isn't she married?

Third, she is doing too much. She is the epitome of normalized femininity. She is pink. She is attractive. She can cook. She can clean. She can do it all . . . in heels. Is she overcompensating?

Fourth, THE COLORS!

She is a dark-ish pink, almost red, yet she has worn this peach/orange color a few times.

And I would think she's bi-colored but . . .

I think there is something else going on here.

Not only does she wear that color, but when she has business outside of the house, she gets darker.

What's the reason that she feels safe in her home, but changes her color when she has to leave it?

And, at first, I thought it was because she was in love with Anin's mom.

Because it would make sense that she wears Princess Alisa's color at times and feels most comfortable at home.

And it would make sense that she would stick right by Alisa's side.

But I'm not convinced, and it's because of the broach!

She has worn it several times, and even though Alisa has one, it's different.

And they change.

But in a show that has Pin and Anin sharing matching hair pins and gifting each other sentimental jewelry, I feel Pat's broach being consistent has to be significant.

So whichever woman Pat loves is orange/yellow colored and should have a similar broach or theme of sun or flowers, plus her poster has her in that peach color and states that she has secrets.

So which woman broke this wee little lesbian's heart?

Character doodles of these two chaos magnets that I feel like sharing with the world. These were honestly just for practice, to get a feel for drawing them more on model y’know?

I do have more art of these two hidden from the world that I’ll one day share, but not today.

Today it’s just the doodles.

Who is Jo?

It's only the fifth episode of The Trainee but I feel confident about who is the Blue Boy since I learned more about him this episode.

Ryan is a chill Green Guy who helps everyone including Pie in the very beginning of the episode by changing the copy paper and helping her. This hasn't changed.

Pie is still being her red passionate self now that she is assistant director for the music video.

Pah is still the yellow and orange odd one out.

Judy is still a sophisticated Black Brooder, and Mee is an evolving Pink Person.

(who gives her crushes pink donuts, so can Judy get one already?)

But the focus of this episode and post is about Jane!

We got to know more about him, and my original theory about him seems to be correct because I believed Jane was the Blue Boy since he seems cold and distant but everyone overlooks how dependable and loyal he is.

And once Ryan steps into Jane's apartment, it becomes even more clear that nobody really knows (Blue Boy) Jane.

(Sidenote, to be honest, I'd be Purple Person Ja, and not just because of the hair. I have beef with authority figures for no good ass reason. I need no reasons to dislike management, supervisors, admin, or anyone with power, so I ain't mad at her for talking shit about Jane every chance she gets)

Not only are Jane's curtains that shut out the rest of the world in the apartment that he intentionally selected since it's so close to his job blue.

But Ryan learns that Jane doesn't eat spicy food after Jane makes Ryan dinner in his blue pot.

And much like Pie's red bag, Mee's pink purse, and Ryan's green tote, Jane's bag has blue on it.

But what makes me really believe Jane is a Blue Boy is his behavior.

It seems like Jane has a box of shooting schedules (or storyboards) right at his front door that Ryan has to push a bit to get through, which much like the location of his apartment reinforces that his job is his life. (unless those are bills, then those bills look odd, and boy is about to be evicted)

Jane's movies are in alphabetical order (however, he alphabetizes "The" which should not be done because article adjectives a, an, and the should be omitted in alphabetizing, but . . . it's his personal collection, so do you, boo boo)

His album collection seems to be displayed by color connection (black, white, red) since I spotted Kodaline's 2022 album Our Roots Run Deep, Coldplay's 2002 album A Rush of Blood to the Head, and the 1980s Japanese rock band, Southern All Stars' Tiny Bubbles.

And the real kicker is Jane's favorite movie seems to be Mary is Happy, Mary is Happy, which is a Thai film about a creative girl who has to go up against her power-driven headmaster to get the yearbook produced as she encounters all the chaos that comes along with being a teenager.

And even his coworker (boss?) stated that Jane has the director's eye but he had a bad experience as an intern. Jane is talented yet guarded, which is very Blue Boy of him! Also, this book is free in the Archive and amazing!

So even though Tae has a blue phone and his blue headphones with a blue emoji heart to match Mee's pink heart as a he thinks of her with a pink background,

My money is on Jane being the Blue Boy since taking care of a Green Guy comes natural to him.

But the real point of this post is to ask "Who is Jo?" Is he the boss? A helpful office worker? Both? Because he is the only one who interacts with all the staff and actually notices all of them. He knew Pah was Pah when he was pretending to be Tae. He realizes Judy is amazing. He knows where the number for the copier tech is. He takes care of the fish.

Is he the original Ryan?!

post-war au where they ask harry potter to do hot artistic thirst trap photoshoots like this for charity. harry has untapped potential as a model but doesn't want to do it all the time. everybody glorifies him already and being "objectified" like this is kinda...

but he's a martyr with such low self-esteem so he lets his body be objectified... yes he'll do those nude photoshoots, yes he'll wear these revealing clothes, yes he'll pose in this suggestive manner...

he's so used to people using him as a symbol or a political pawn, it's all he's good for, right? so what makes this any different? at least it's for charity... he's doing a greater good (in a convoluted way).

draco sodding malfoy is the only one who notices how harry looks ashamed whenever he sees his photos on billboards, his reluctance to do more jobs, how he deflates when someone touches him because harry thinks he doesn't deserve to be touched or be thought of as attractive. it's so obvious... and draco is furious.

draco is not gentle with him. he insults him (but it's out of a sense of care and he greatly misses harry's fiery passion). "with that body and that face, how do you not know you're ridiculously hot? are you just going to sell your body to them like a knockturn alley whore? what's the point of letting others be voyeuristic if you're not even going to reap the benefits and joys of it?"

harry is mopey (thanks low self-esteem!) but also super offended. how DARE malfoy - OF ALL PEOPLE - say such a foul thing about and to him!! his sass and snark is back, but only for a bit. so if draco has to bully and comfort harry into bringing back that passionate thunderous fire again, he will do it.

draco attends his shoots out of nowhere. harry's a little fussed at first, but he quite likes draco's confidence, bossiness, entitlement, how he negotiates on harry's behalf and helps him speak up. they drunkenly kiss one night, high on harry finally making his own terms to a photoshoot, and it snowballed from there.

draco never degrades harry when they have sex, despite what he says to him outside of it. instead, he worships him, reverent with his touches. he's demanding yet gentle, says filthy things on the edge of sweet and loving. it makes harry want to love and see himself through draco's eyes.

tldr; harry lets his body be objectified for the masses despite hating himself and draco bully-comforts him into loving himself again

I love that Tendou spends the entirety of Kabuto in love with Kagami. I love that it takes Kagami like 40 episodes to figure it out because he's a dog person trying to understand a cat. I love that Tendou seems so cold because he's so self-centred and blunt at times while overly vague and closed-off at others, but his love is all-encompassing and unconditional. I love that Kagami is the typical bumbling main rider in the role of the secondary, that Tendou is his rival but not vice-versa, because Tendou is still the true main rider who openly likes his ill-tempered secondary from the start, though he shows it in a way that no one who doesn't know Tendou would be able to understand. I love that when Kagami finally figures it out, he realises it's been love the whole time, and that there's no grand gesture needed. I love that he knows Tendou at that point. I love that he understands what Tendou wants to hear, and it's not bold proclamations or heroic speeches, but something that seems blunt and presumptuous in the way Tendou himself is. Cook something for me (continue to love me) (I want to be loved by you)
