Finding Another Use For Suibian

also EXTREMELY key point the director keeps explicitly using words like 'queer contents' and 'queer works' (even when the koreans are referring to things like skam or cmbyn as 외국 BL작품 'foreign bl works' which is itself interesting...) AND he says he told them not to watch korean bl shows as reference

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.

the eighth sense is juntaek's first acting gig and he was street casted

the korean director really said he saw him on the street and snatched him up lmaooooo

I know I talk about mdzs modern AUs a lot, but it's just somehow become a fascinating adaptation process to me, all these people making their personal calls about the nature of reality.

And a thing I keep coming back to is all the people who deliberately decide to give modern!wwx Mo Xuanyu's build.

To preserve the strength contrast that's leveraged for horny, which like, yeah that's fair, horny is an acceptable reason to make a story choice. I respect that, sometimes grudgingly.

But as a result of noticing this being done, oftentimes it seems without any reflection about why, I've developed this minor obsession with the fact that wwx in his own body at its adult height was fractionally shorter than lwj.

And this was the height he reached after a multi-year period in childhood living on scrounged garbage, plus the three months starving in the mass grave toward the end of his growth period.

Meaning that by all normal logic, a modern AU wwx who did not experience these periods of intense privation--which is most of them; it's quite rare for children to experience that particular form of total neglect in modern developed nations and modernAU!wwx's life ruining circumstances only occasionally involve intense physical torment--is going to be significantly taller as an adult.

Like. Add a few inches on there.

Where are all my adequately nourished six-foot-four Wei Wuxians???

Updated Free & Open Source Art Programs

Updated the article as promised!

There are plenty of amazing art programs out there, but many cost money to buy (and sometimes a lot), which can be hard for an artist to justify. There are also a lot of artists that wish to support open source inititatives, which is great. This is a list of my favorite free art programs, many of which are open source. If you can, donate to the developers to keep these projects alive!
