Hii!!!

Your thoughts on the eighth sense, ji hyun represented with lighter colors and jae won with darker colors are sooooo valid!!!

the utter joy of finding this out in one of my favorite shots,,,,,,, the color of the seats on ji hyun and jae won's side!!!! I'm flying!!! this is ecstatic!!!!!!

You're amazing🥰

@how-to-be-a-tree,

I. Did. Not. Notice. The. SEATS!!!!!!!

I merely observed that their clothing showed their balance of light and dark (the nature of Yin and Yang)

And others have picked up on the use of light to showcase Ji Hyun bringing light to Jae Won's dark world

Like in the dark library scene

Where Ji Hyun is the light source down the hall

Others have noted that queer stories tend to be told in the darkness because that is a safe space away from the harshness of light

But I think this show is trying to tell us that Jae Won, who has hidden so much of himself that he is constantly living in the dark, must step out into the light and be open, and Ji Hyun is the light that encourages Jae Won to live his truth.

So you showing me that the seats are color-coded, when the reflections showed them as having no color even though Ji Hyun's backpack and stickers on his briefcase remained colored

Is truly a delightful revelation, not only because the seat coloring was intentional, but also the green light to indicate which side the doors will open lights up on Ji Hyun's side AROUND HIM!

This show told an entire story in this one scene.

Ji Hyun is the color in Jae Won's black and white world. Ji Hyun is light in Jae Won's darkness. Ji Hyun is Jae Won's exit to a fresh start. Everything Jae Won wants is within reach; he just has to move.

I feel a happy ending in this Chili's tonight!

Spotlighting another campaign this week.

@mahmoudkhalafff reached out to me on my personal blog to spread awareness for his fundraiser to get his eight family members out of Gaza. The need €30,000 and their fundraiser is currently at €24,590 as of August 23.

They are #151 on nabulsi and el-shab-hussein's Vetted Evacuation Fundraiser spreadsheet.

There's only €5,410 left to raise, let's get them there!

honestly...it’s ok to just use your skills on yourself! sewing clothes only you to wear, making art to hang up in your own personal area, singing and recording songs for you only to listen to...like not everything has to be for other people’s consumption!

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.
