Diamonds & Spots

tumblr just deleted a huge swathe of palestinians who were on here trying to fundraise. if you've been helping any of these fundraisers please take this time to 1) check in with palestinians you're in contact with 2) help them submit support requests if needed 3) keep these campaigns circulating while the beneficiaries are being silenced. these campaigns are life or death, this isn't just social networking. do not let these fundraisers languish.

Will be having a duo show with @ameruu at Gallery Nucleus starting September 10th! :)  It’s my first show and I’m super excited~ If you are in the area, please go have a look!

Okay I'm going mad so here's my fucking theory.

Theory: They made the biggest fucking thing out of showing us the scene at the therapist and him asking about 4 weeks meds. She gave him 3 weeks. I'm pretty sure episode 6 is pulling a top ten anime betrayals on us and man's just been overdosing on his meds, in psychosis , took himself to the beach alone. None of this happened.

Very dreamy sequences

The dialogue about giving him trauma feels unnatural compared to the rest of the show plus we don't actually see it come from their mouths it's just dubbed over the scene

Gas station man just giving out shit for free for no reason?

NC scene suddenly has a bed?

They're kissing outside in broad daylight (I mean it's possible but hmmm)

No scene before the opening

The music video that came out yesterday or whenever also was kind of trippy

Again the way all this was cut?

And he sat alone at the beach at the end, in what version of happenings would he end up sitting there alone?

I'm just spitballing but there's still full 2 episodes coming and there can't just be....the consequences for two episodes.

Please discuss.

I know you've gotten a bunch of asks like this. But, you've made me pay attention to and try to analyse colours in the stuff I watch. And I feel like it makes me enjoy media less and more at the same time. But I think it's good. Like, it makes it impossible to really watch something passively. Even if I'm kinda bored by the plot I'll be like "ooh, he's wearing a red shirt, what could that mean". I think we should all engage in media in a kinda analysis way. I think it makes us think more and also makes it more fun. So, yeah, thanks, I guess. :)

Anon, I don't get asks like this. I usually get tags like, "PETTY RUINED MY LIFE! I HATE THEM!" but it's very much the same energy, and I appreciate it.

I completely understand what you mean about being entertained by the tiny details even if the plot is lacking (Cutie Pie, I love you, but you know that plot could've been wrapped up in six episodes), but I hope that you grow to enjoy shows MORE rather than simulateously liking them less and more due to not being able to watch them passively.

I believe it allows me to like shows more because I can see if my theories based on the colors and background noise are legit.

Which is why I'm going to be adamant that The Eighth Sense is going to end happily.

I saw today on Instagram somebody questioning why the shower scene was filtered red.

But in my mind, it seemed like an easy color choice to show desire mostly when Jae Won is naturally dark

And since Ji Hyun is the lighter one of them

Even in the promo pictures

And red seems to pop up when Jae Won is being affectionate

And Jae Won was backlit by red (pink) when he spoke freely to Ji Hyun on the beach

Even when they were in the dark (yet Ji Hyun was still lighter)

It just made sense to me for the shower scene to be filtered red to show Jae Won's deepening attraction to Ji Hyun. Ya know?

Which also made me think that no show that gives me a color exchange can end tragically.

In my Elle Woods voice, "Each boy has a color scheme. Color schemes give you color-coded boys in love. Color-coded boys in love just don't die. They just don't!"

See? Makes perfect (eighth) sense to me.

A little pose-study warm up

The only good thing about THE TRAUMA THAT ENDING GAVE ME LIKE ARE MY FEELINGS A JOKE TO YOU- *ahem* the only good thing is the fact that at least now I'm personally sure this story won't end in tragedy. Yes, something did happen to Jihyun, but this won't be a repetition of Jaewon's trauma, of Jaewon's powerlessness, because this is a story about healing and I believe it with my whole heart.

Jihyun is not here to make Jaewon sink deeper into the darkness, he's here to bring him light. He's here to help him forgive himself for failing to protect his brother, the one person that meant the world to him, by succeeding in protecting Jihyun, the one person that means the world to him now. Jihyun is here to close the wound in Jaewon's heart that is still bleeding after all this time, after all these years, and help him let go of all that grief, all that sorrow. Jihyun is here to set him free, and that's why he's gonna live. Jihyun is gonna live, and Jaewon will also finally start to.

Remember, every time you are so unapologetically yourself you are showing someone else they can have the courage to do the same.
