now that the first half of the season’s over…
SOLID STATE S1 PT. 1 DETAIL POST
Tumblr media
(I’m quite obsessed still, strap in it's gonna be a long one. I'll put it under a Keep Reading for your dashes)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(each episode is one image, more or less, sometimes that’ll change but it’ll be listed. Also will have observations from my last post in it)
🩷CHAPTER 1: TAKEOVER💚
Takeover 1
Newspapers from Perth detailing another 50 degree summer in 2037, civil unrest, something with the world's newest trillion ?, and a newspaper from 2052
Concordia(n) Minerals sign
Dian's billboard to join WNDR
Shot of Egan, Recurring Background Character guy, and The Reporter
Recurring Union officials at a rally with a large mob facing the blonde police person
The Student walking in the Lower City
Prakash mentioning his meeting with the Temple of the Golden Hand that morning
Takeover 2
The implication of crime syndicates in the Lower City
One gang called The Vipers, headed by someone named Bishop
Eijiro being from a part of the Lower City called the Red Gate District (I’m assuming red gates that reference the ones in Japan that spirits can’t cross through, and Eiji’s more Japanese-leaning name, which translates to “reflective second son”(Google), which makes sense since he’s the second guy Prakash picked up out of the takeover gang 🤯)
Castel standing on a Tanser Tech truck
Takeover 3
Prakash telling Enzo to do as he's told, with a special highlight in his eye alluding to their past
Sign over the road saying "Remember your cooperation is required by law" which is...yikes
Takeover 4
The flying jav that Castel and Eiji use to get out of there in Takeover 8 being their wedding gift
The poisoned champagne being from Rook Tanser himself
The first shots of Tanser, Ecker, Aurun, Ramsay, and Iolanthe
"You know what they say... Prakash Malik knows how to invest!"
Prakash viewing both Enzo and Asha as "investments" which is... yikes. Eiji too I guess 😬
Takeover 5
"This is between me and him." Prakash is the one who had Enzo's eyes replaced, hence the focus on it (see Inheritance)
"Finally got the guts to make a move, eh?" Enzo tried to make a move in the past, and it didn't work (see Inheritance)
I think I deciphered Prakash's blurred dialogue
"I thought I taught you better than appealing to sentiment." (see Inheritance: “Enzo’s use may yet run out, and I will not hesitate over sentimentality.”)
Takeover 6
"You should be packing!" For Mars (see Inheritance)
Asha questioning Enzo’s eyes
Panel implying Enzo maybe disappointed Prakash in the past, resulting in his new eyes (they’re specially highlighted so maybe)
Enzo cutting Eiji off at the mention of Bruno, implying there's some special chemistry with them
Takeover 7
Castel wanting a panic room, mentioning they started to be built after some uprising
Meselon dealing with public health in Concordia
Asha's cybernetic contracts with Tanser Tech ( O_O ) (see Two of a Kind)
Ecker Byse owning the police force
Tanser Tech bribing every politician in the city
Takeover 8
Ramsay Hanan, of Hanan Heavy Industries
Ecker Byse, of Aegis Solutions International
Iolanthe Lieberthal III, Admiral-in-Exile of Heliodyne (Martian???)
Aurun Kastor-Valko, of Meselon
Rook Tanser, of Tanser Technology Augments
These are the people we're up against hahahhhaha
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
💛CHAPTER 2: SURGE🖤
Surge 1
Prakash about to go to Asha's wedding (Takeover 1)
The news headline above the upper city entrance saying "Police investigate union link" about Prakash's death
Subway Panel 1: Anti-union advertising, Recurring Union Leader, Jules (see Two of a Kind 4)
Subway Panel 2: Jules, Malik Industries advertisement "More than a company, we're family", Get Ahead Gigs
Subway Panel 3: VR thing, Rent-A-Friend
The subway slowly emptying, leaving Dian alone in the third panel, because majority of people don't live in the Upper City
Surge 2
Shadowy figure near Dian
Recurring Background Guy
Thommo and Beaux (see Two of a Kind 4)
Weird Priest Man implying someone or something purchases the failed uploading experiments (and someone in the comments validated by Veldenmire for wondering who could profit off that many dead people... Asha) (see Two of a Kind and Inheritance)
Surge 3
Jamilah and Dian arguing in front of a WNDR Prakash mourning event billboard
It shows how WNDR has put a wedge between them, as well as how far Prakash's death reaches
Recurring journalist outside Dian's house
The Reporter there as well
Surge 4
WNDR was expensive for people to use when it was first made, so they made their own technology, sedative pills and headsets
A screenshot from the Solid State short story published in the 2020 Brain Anthology of the protagonist Anya using this technology, as well as the old headset
Dian using the old headset and having a rough time
Surge 7 & 8
Egan being interviewed by that reporter (see Two of a Kind 1)
Foreshadowing of the events of Two of a Kind, how the robots are malfunctioning
Enzo's fancy new boots (Veldenmire said he was “going through it” :( )
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
💙CHAPTER 3: TWO OF A KIND❤️
Two of a Kind 1
The Surge happening in Malik Tower
Egg being flown over a Hanan Heavy Industries building
Egg being flown by the spot where Castel crashed the jav
Enzo’s MEMORIES, specifically the shot of Prakash, Enzo holding a lighter to someone (Bruno?????), and Enzo moments before he got his eye surgery
Enzo’s TATTOOS, Veldenmire saying he has one from each of the Takeover crew, Aoife was here, Butch woz here, Eiji’s possibly being the knife through the heart one, and I can’t pinpoint what Bruno and Giannis could’ve given him
Making you the best you can be (the best at what man?????? being a lackey????????)
Two of a Kind 2 & 3
ICOMA being on Ico's chest, what does it stand for?
Cyborg technology being illegal for decades, started in the 2050s
Cannot control them like robots, but much stronger than humans
Doctor from the Temple of the Golden Hand working in this dump on the cyborgs
Two of a Kind 4
The WNDR billboard being cracked and smashed
Get Ahead Gigs dog
Jules
Thommo and Beaux
The architecture of the Upper/Middle City pressing down on the Lower (Veldenmire said in the comments somewhere that some buildings run all the way up and down, but the Upper is always seemingly above (oppressing) the lower)
Two of a Kind 5 & 6
The slogan on the top of the elevator for Malik Industries: "...Malik, we're more than a company, we're a family!" which just makes the whole situation with the Takeover squad a little sadder bc Prakash preached that to them and then used it as his company slogan
The workers wishing they joined the Union
Enzo’s full name: Vincenzo Della Vecchia (he’s Italian, I wonder what Prakash was doing in Italy to find him)
The billboards Egan’s passing with: The person Dian yelled at in Surge 2, another recurring newscaster, and the Recurring Union Leaders
Union standoff enters 6th month
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
💖MIDSEASON FINALE: INHERITANCE💖
Eiji’s sword originally being Asha’s
Prakash implying the existence of Mars colonies in the 2100s (Veldenmire saying in the comments: "OF COURSE colonies on Mars are a feature in this timeline! We've done plenty of fun world building up there, and perhaps... maybe we've already met some Martians" ) (WHO'S A MARTIAN?????????)
Prakash using Asha to get what he wants (she learned from him how to use others)
ALSO SORRY IT’S NOT PICTURED BUT Asha blaming The Temple of the Golden Hand and the Lower City Union for killing Prakash
Enzo tried to make an attempt on Prakash’s life, and failed
Then as punishment Prakash replaced his eyes
Again he thought of him as an investment (see Takeover 4)
He’s been in pain ever since (poor guy… 🥺)
Jamilah and Dave asking people if Dian saved them during the Surge
Butcher…
The Reporter on a call, suspecting the turn of events for the Malik case
Anti-Union advertising on the subway (Concordia Business Council?)
Aofie…
Castel!!!! Not wearing only white!! They look good in pink!!
*deep sigh, trying not to scream* Asha’s Elite Units being the cyborgs of Butcher, Aofie, Giannis, and Bruno (she’s using Bruno specifically to break Enzo, implying again a special relationship between them)
WHAT COMES NEXT?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Chapters 4, 5, and 6 will focus on these three here, who I’ve dubbed The Student, The Reporter, and The Brawler. We saw The Student in Takeover 1, and they’re in this other art by Veldenmire here. I assume they’ll cross paths with Eiji and Castel since they’re taking shelter in the lower city right now, and they’ll be caught in the middle while they’re both trying to outrun Giannis. Perhaps they’ll give us a small insight into the education system here in Concordia. The Reporter will obviously be showing us the journalistic world of Concordia. They painted a target on their back by pressing Asha with all those questions, so naturally one of the Elites is coming after them. Perhaps they’ll cross paths with Jamilah and Dave, covering their story, and then they’ll both have to dodge Butcher and Aofie (*sniff* this is not how they should be reunited waaaaaa). The Brawler I know nothing about, haha. I give them this name because they look like they’ve seen some action with their eyebrow scars (or could just be design who knowwwwws), and their expression looks joyfully poised for a fight. I wonder what the paint on their eyes is for. Maybe they’ll cross paths with Enzo and Bruno, and we’ll learn more about them. But I mean as much as I want out new protags to meet up with other storylines and previous protags, I know they still need to have their own stories, so I won’t put too much stock into that. Overall I’m quite excited they let us see them; letting me form these theories by just looking at their eyes is kinda cool.
Aaaaaand you’ve rEACHED THE END! THANK YOU FOR READING MY VERY LONG POST ABOUT VERY NICHE WEBTOON! SOMEONE’S GOTTA GIVE IT SOME LOVE, WITH HOW BEAUTIFULLY CRAFTED IT IS, AND IF THAT PERSON HAS TO BE ME, IT WILL BE. THE HUGEST THANKS TO 🩷💖VELDENMIRE💚💖 AND 💛💙PANELPERDAY❤️🖤 FOR ALL THEIR HARD WORK ON THIS WEBTOON, MAKING IT LIKE THE BEST SCI-FI COMIC ON THE PLATFORM, HANDS-DOWN!! I LOOK FORWARD TO EVERYTHING ELSE THIS GORGEOUS STORY HAS TO OFFER NEXT!!

Random idea I got this morning thinking about how small little things (mostly about missing important moments of the past) make the boys emotional and sorrowful.
