i love the thought of the brotherhoods first major , major attack being blowing up the biggest screen in the city <3 will be revisiting i have so much muse stuff and other headcanons to do : (
➜ ㅤ ㅤ ﹟ㅤ 𝙰𝙻𝚃𝙴𝚁𝙴𝙳 𝙳𝙾𝙲𝚄𝙼𝙴𝙽𝚃 ㅤ ㅤ ( 𝙰𝚂𝚂𝙸𝙶𝙽𝙴𝙳 𝚃𝙾 𝚁𝙸𝚅𝙴𝚁. ) ㅤ ◟ `` CONSIDER THIS APART OF A HEADCANON SERIES . i had mostly set out to write about the climate itself , but it quickly turned into me discussing what the end game of the party is , which it will not get ! i refuse it tyvm . ˚
WHAT DOES THE PARTY LIE ABOUT , WHAT'S TRUE ? i think it's important to look at the book and start with the notion that everything ingsoc says is an outright lie , it could be the case that england air strip one exists just as itself , there is no super powers , there is no war ; merely ingsoc targeting it's own people while the rest of the world continues as what we perceive as normal , or maybe america ; russia , are banded together to stop the spread of oceania's views &. power infecting the rest of the planet . winston is unreliable , o'brien is the personification of the party ; the stand in that we meet to see their influence , neither one is to be trusted when it comes to their thoughts &. views on the political climate .
but because i need to find the right timeline , i am picking and choosing what's real &. what's not . because i need something to work with , i would like to expand on the majority of the world on this blog ; especially because i am taking this franchise as my own in a major way &. trying to think of rebellion . i want to go with someone that's fun to write , if heavy . so i'm going to go over the things that we know , put my take , then that way i am lore dropping in a clumsy way of what direction this blog follows .
there are some things from the book that are the truth ; the fusion of the superstates , OCEANIA , EURASIA &. EASTASIA how they're essentially working together without ever saying it to partake in fake wars , the never ending battle of territory .
ingsoc do have a grip on the world , that's true ; i want to write the experience of people from all fractions from all corners of the world who thought they were alone , finding a way to reach each other &. communicating , i want the people to completely over take the party in a global uprising because the party relies on those below staying ignorant , to deny them education &. cast them to the gutter because THEY'RE ANIMALS , nothing more , nothing less - where the only differences is whether you're a working horse , or a breeding mare . compare them enough to them , they are who they are &. ANIMALS ATTACK WHEN PRODDED ENOUGH , you can manipulate the tiger to view itself as a dodo bird , but you can never take away it's nature . HUMANS WILL ALWAYS CRAVE FREEDOM &. INDIVIDUALITY IN THE END .
even the party knows this . that's why they go to such extreme lengths to dumb , weaken the world down . it's also evident that one of the ways they do this is to control the population at large , they can't become too out numbered to become a threat . ingsoc bombs the people regularly enough where when a bomb goes off just down the road , it's another day , you get on with it . this also dives into it's avid stance against the nuclear family - they've broken apart the family unit &. made it something to fear , when you turn the family itself into a weapon for the party , creating a very obvious spy network of children - i was going to go on about the 'taking the child away from its mother' part of the book , &. that turns into a whole different headcanon where the idea of the party is to train them up until a certain age and send them back to their original families , no attachment , each person only focused on the party ( hahaaa , noooo you're already so scary ingsoc - this is you but nooooo this isn't you <3 )
AT THIS POINT IN TIME THEY'VE DIMINISHED &. UNDERMINED THE VERY IDEA OF THE NUCLEAR FAMILY , but haven't rid of the structure that takes place within the home to raise one , not yet , it's a plan that's almost in motion , not the completion of it ( which is why ya'll are gonna hold my hand and join me as i think of a way to not let the world get to this point . )
" they don't care about them anymore " mr smith , your first instinct upon seeing julia after the horrors &. the torture was to wrap your arm around her waist , you're a threat .
THE REVOLUTION IS BLUE . the party has heavy imagery of red , white &. black ; given that george orwell was inspired by the nazi &. communist party , makes sense . we all know the power of colours , both in psychology &. in spirituality ( which is also just as important as the former , especially for my blog ) - so this post is just a bit of an info dump about the colour blue through different lenses &. why i'm drawn to that being a direct anti colour to the party , thus the branding of the revolution .
BLUE , IN PSYCHOLOGY , HAS LONG SINCE BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH CALMNESS . studies have been done that the colour scientifically slows down the heart rate &. reduces blood pressure ( a direct retaliation to the reds used by the party , which causes stimulation &. faster heart beats ) blue is one of the most universally liked colours , linked with the sensation of safety &. peace that comes with . list of reflections that comes from the colour blue ( taken from the website : geturns , i know , really fits the mood doesn't it ) ;
CALMNESS . . . evokes peace &. relaxation , bringing a sense of stability . TRUST . . . reflects honesty , security &. reliability , reassuring strength &. dependability . HEALING . . . linked with renewal and balance , blue offers comfort &. gentle restoration . SPIRITUALITY . . . connected to depth &. wisdom , symbolises higher meaning &. a sense of infinite . GRIEF . . . conveys sorrow , morning , creating a space for reflection &. remembrance .
this follows directly into our next part , BLUE &. SPIRITUALITY , there are plenty of notes i can do regarding this , but i think its more relevant to focus on hindu &. buddhist origins . . . the chakras ! the important one , the throat chakra , aka the vishuddha . &. like above , that represents communication, expression &. the truth.
THE PALER THE BLUE , THE MORE FREEDOM FEELS POSSIBLE ; it's the sky , it's the ocean , it's an endless possibility . blue is connected to communication , truth &. self expression , to quote , " IT IS THE TEACHER , THE PUBLIC SPEAKER " blue has a long history of being connected to the higher self , high intelligence &. spirituality . blue is devotion - it brings belief in its cause . the point is i think blue is the perfect colour for the revolution , especially paired with LITTLE SISTER , a direct response to big brother .
( i also feel it's a move by the party that the outer party work wear is dark blue overalls , given that that particular shade can be linked to depression , sadness &. melancholy ; it can also cause aloofness in it's cold appearance ( annnnd it works as an appetite suppressant ! no time to feel hunger , comrade , you have history to erase ! )

A LOUD EXPLOSION , THE EARTH VIBRATING BENEATH FEET , THE FALL OF A BUILDING MUFFLING THE SCREAMS . ( STARVING , HE REMEMBERS THAT , TO BE HUNGRY IS THE CLEAREST MEMORY , HIS FIRST FEELING ) now this was before the party , there was so much war ; or was the war a part of the party ? he couldn't be sure , winston could never be sure anymore . though it leads him down the path of wondering if comfortable is even a word , he knows it exists ; but when the meaning no longer exist , does that mean the word loses all reason to exist ? what's the point of a word existing , when it now means nothing .
it's then he feels it , a million razors sharp against the surface of skin , having to fight against the stiffening of his body ; TO REACT WOULD MEAN GUILT , AS FAR AS ANYONE IS AWARE , HE ISN'T GUILTY AT ALL . winston had long since familiarised himself with the sensation of being watched , he was never alone , nobody was except in sleep , even then the subconscious takes over &. was just as dangerous as being awake ; an exhausted mind is a true one .
but the people were just as watchful as the telescreens , they were worse ; much more violent &. sneaky . winston reminds himself that they can't reach inside &. pluck out a thought , even if it was always safe to assume so , but caution doesn't make it true . he dragged his eyes from what he was doing , slow , cautious before finding someone now approaching , gaze too focused on his own .

THERE WAS NO REASON TO BE SPOKEN TO , there was never any reason perhaps outside the canteen beyond basic , back &. fourth drivel that usually consisted of war , big brother &. statistics that claimed things are better than ever before . this wasn't one of those situations , wasn't planned , as such it set his teeth directly on edge .
