Nine is *that* intern

Nine did not just intern with Jane and date him. He was *the* intern who didn't have a background in the field yet got the big job!

But I don't think that it was *just* that Nine got the job without the background. I think Nine got the job based on Jane's idea!

And the colors tell me this!

Brown Boy Tae in his brown shirt is still filling up a pink water bottle because he misses his Pink Person Mee.

Pink Person Mee is wearing pink and black because she is falling for Black Brooder Judy.

Red Rascal Pie is wearing red because she is a badass who has always known herself.

But Yellow/Orange Oddity Pah is only painting with his color this week because he struggled with self-confidence and self-image thinking he wasn't talented enough.

And, of course, Green Guy Ryan wore pink "self care" heart socks,

and a little heart on his purple sweater over his heart because he is in love with Jane.

So what does this have to do with Blue Boy Jane?!

I wrote a couple of weeks ago that my handy dandy 7" Chromebook's screen resolution was soooo dark that it was hard to tell if Jane was black or blue.

BUT IT WASN'T THE SCREEN RESOLUTION!

Like all the other characters, colors evolve based on interactions and feelings with and for other characters. Tae is carrying a pink bottle, Mee is wearing black, Ryan is in his heart era, and Jane's blue has evolved throughout the show to be lighter, yet the show confirmed that Jane was dark blue . . . which is because of this Black Brooder!

It has to be difficult to be a light Blue Boy in love with an intern when Jane has this dark cloud of his previous idea-stealing boyfriend who got the credit and the job for his idea lingering behind his back, no?

So not only was I finally told what Jo's job is (THE PRESIDENT!),

But now I think I pieced together why Blue Boy Jane is so damn dark all the time!

A Black Brooder not only took credit for their shared idea and got the big directing job, but also broke Jane's heart because they were dating and Jane helped his boyfriend, who had no background in the field, since he loved him!

I don't know why I'm smiling. Well, I know why I'm smiling because a good color narrative makes me happy, but that's a sad story IF it's true which it could not be true and I just made up an entire thing that is actually not the story and that specific previous intern experience could have nothing to do with Nine and Jane's relationship and Nine only dated Jane and nothing more.

But Jane does seem a lot lighter around Ryan.

Well, anywho! Ryan is wearing pink (for love) and Jane's (light) blue next week

While Tae is going through his Sad Boy Era in black because his heart is broken and he is miserable and when people are sad and heartbroken their colors turn darker and . . .

I THINK I'M RIGHT ABOUT NINE AND JANE!

KAPOOK PLOYNIRA as JUDY episode 8 of THE TRAINEE

[stuffnonsenseandotherthings]

So this week we got the mentors relaxing around their interns and blurring the lines as well as some nice juxtaposition between Jane/Ryan and Judy/Ba-Mhee(/Tae).

Next week it looks like shit's going to hit the fan quite spectacularly and re-draw the lines we saw dissolving today.

Now I have to talk about Ryan and Jane's exchange

I'm not done. The Bahmee drama spoken about, now I'm going to talk about Ryan and Jane. I love the confidence we have seen bloom in Ryan over the past 2 episodes, and the exchange we got today was just perfect.

Ryan is definitely concerned about harmony within groups. Now, whether or not it's very deep or just a touch pass surface level. I'll need to go back and do a second watch. However, when things are chaotic and emotionally unbalanced, that affects Ryan's ability to process and attend to his tasks. We can see that in this EP and clearly. He went to mediate and tried to neutralize this issue. Immediately.

(I do the same. When my friends or work group have an issue, my brain takes it as a threat, and I have to neutralize it. I'm a lot less soft-spoken than he is because of where I land in the hierarchy, but the threat of disharmony is addressed because I can't have that. We have to be in accordance, and y'all can't be doing the mostest where we hostess!)

So when Jane accuses Ryan of not doing his work well out of ill-placed jealousy, Ryan immediately has to put a stop to it because his brain can't even fathom it.

"Why didn't you pay attention to work at all today?"

"Huh?" (said softly) "Me?" (said with a hard stop sound) "I ran around doing the tasks you assigned all day!" (Now he's breathing quickly)

To Ryan, it feels like how dare Jane come in and carelessly say such a thing, and about needing to be radioed?

Ryan still got his job done that day and finds that thought so trivial in the face of everything else, so of course Ryan is now quietly enraged. Upset enough to throw it back on Jane, even gently.

"I should be asking what's wrong with you."

And it's such a tight well-delivered line (Gun the actor that you are!!) because now it's not just about Jane acting up, it's about what isn't being said. It's about the:

("I worked so hard! I did my work and damn it, despite there being a lot of moving parts that day, I did well asshole.)

"My friends keep fighting, my work was chaotic and it felt like you were bullying me all day!"

("Why don't you understand there was conflict happening between the teams today? You're supposed to be observant, I've seen you be observant! I've seen you be intelligent in chaos, and right now you aren't giving me any of that. I stepped up to be a good worker and friend today, that was mentally taxing. Give me some grace if I made a tiny mistake because I was anticipating forest fires!")

Ryan is now in a space where speaking out loud is forcing him to process his emotions and feel the weight that they have on his mind and heart. However, it's his first time doing that today, as he was busy trying to be a quiet problem solver for others. So he's upset and now it blends with his feelings about Jane. His joy, excitement, disappointment, trepidation, natural nervousness, all of it. His emotions are all swirling together, and he simply exhales all of his insides into:

"Do you think that just because I confessed my feelings for you, you can treat me how you want?"

("Today was bullshit bro. Do you really want to do this, because I don't have a lid to fit the size of this damn jar".)

Always a bit fucked up when people in the audience bash on certain character types I and others can relate to due to shared character traits of introverts or due to trauma / mental illness or even neurodivergent symptoms....

It's one thing when characters in the series do that for not knowing the full picture and not understand why that character is so reserved or scared and then misread it (often btw a learning plot point). But we in the audience usually know those details but then reading people still hating on those characters... just tells me you would hate me too.

There's been interesting developments at work and i need to do a lot of work for university so i think tonight is the Perfect time to finish beyond evil

[we-prance-at-dawn]

Ryan would absolutely get on my nerves in the workplace. You can’t even answer a damn phone, bro? You just sit there staring blankly 90% of the time 😭

[baekuras]

i also did more applying (and got 2 no's already which....hello autmated email after automated scan through website answers only looking at my school...certificate instead of current grades but whatever)

this means i am now awaiting 21 answers and gotta do at least 6 more letters and search for more

[petrichoraline]

ryan crying and turning jane soft would be everything to me gimme noww

[stuffnonsenseandotherthings]

Just how long did it take Jane to make those lattes????

In between him stirring the cups and delivering them to Ryan

Jane and Ba-Mhee had a heart to heart and moved their relationship into the talking phase

Pah had an existential crisis (and recovered)

Jo had a WHOLE business meeting with a client (and still had time left over to help Pah through his crisis after that).

Pah and the account sister apologised to each other and reconciled.

The man is truly a talented and skilled assistant director but the slowest barista in existence

What if I wrote a Clarice Starling character analysis fic? what then?

[orcelito]

Opening the local bubble tea store absolutely livid and shaking in rage and upset bc my bitch ass boss is too concerned about us sitting on the job to order the tea bags I requested Two Fucking Weeks Ago (it only takes like 4 or 5 days to ship) and so we're out and I had to hand wash the 1 reusable bag to make black tea and I have to strain the free floating tea leaves from the cold brew and I just KNOWWWW he's going to have something more to bitch about because he always does

Last straw on the camel's back, etc etc, I want to put in my two weeks notice by the end of this week. That's a goal for myself.

[moralchampion]
