if you live in {Not USA} and you make a tumblr post even slightly referencing what time it is where you live you will literally always have to deal with the "lucky 10 thousand" who dont fucking know what a time zone is

[notahorseindisguise]

[crabussy]

some people live places where summer autumn winter and spring do not exist like they do in the northern and southern hemispheres. which is why those tags say "not northern hemisphere". to include people who live on the equator. welcome to the lucky 10 thousand!

[crabussy]

hi hi! I understand your scepticism, but I lived Here for half a decade:

and nnno we don't call it "winter" when it's december even though we're TECHNICALLY in the northern hemisphere. because it is 35+ degrees during december and 35+ degrees during july and 35+ degrees every other time of the year as well. so it doesn't really make sense to reference the typical northern/southern seasons when you live right on the equator!

we DO reference seasons as a CONCEPT but it wasn't summer/autumn/winter/spring. it was wet season/dry season. that's it.

[mightyoctopus]

[ID: Tags. #and god forbid you live in [not norther hemisphere] and mention what season it is

Second reblog. tags. #i like the implication that there are multiple other hemispheres #<- prev I know right #do we have posters from mars or something?

A map of 13 countries lying on the equator. Kiribati. Indonesia. Maldives. Somalia. Kenya. Uganda. Democratic republic of Congo. Congo. Gabon. São Tomé and Príncipe. Brazil. Colombia. Ecuador.

Third reblog. Tags. #ehhh that last bit feels like a stretch. #do people in equatorial places really not even reference seasons like just as a way to break up the year?

A map with a circle indicating part of Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. /end ID]

i don’t have tomodachi life. so i’m putting lovro & ivan into another torture labyrinth (who’s lila?-style)

[lachricola]

Ok, I need to talk about this, because I have thoughts.

The fridge and the image of habit preservation and hiding secrets

Ok so... why is this fridge relevant? This one, like all fridges in households, is an everyday item for usage and it is therefore directly connected to daily habits, good and bad. What gets a place in the fridge tells a lot about the people living with it. It also is a clear symbol of family dynamics, with parents usually deciding what gets in there and feeding it to their children. It serves as a cache for your secrets, for your booze to be hidden and old rotting stuff to be forgot and preserved even longer. It's still there, but at least you don't see it. Out of sight out of (concious) mind. It remains order on the outside, despite the potential mess inside.

Episode 1

The first instance we see the fridge in S3 is in episode 1. It's a direct transition from Lovros room door opening to opening of the fridge. We don't see the full picture only zoomed in on the post-it with surely well-intended but annoying commands. "Take care of this", but dressed as maternal care. Lovro removes the post-it. We don't see whether he actually tries the cake. Probably not.

To Lovro, this fridge stuffed with cakes is a constant reminder of his mum's mental state. It gets preserved in the fridge, for him to eat. Which is, in of itself, heartbreaking. But a very clever take on the co-dependency.

Episode 7

This notion of course depends on who observes. For outsiders, the picture can be very different. Cake in the fridge ready to eat becomes a good thing somehow. Like Eva is getting the cake out of the fridge and puts it right in front of Nora and Lovro. Gets it in sight, even though it's probably the last thing Lovro wants to have.

Episode 8

In Episode 8, the fridge light seems to be even bluer and colder. And Lovro fetches a bowl with some sort of fruits. He looks at them, picks one, and then joins his mum in the living room. He also leaves the bowl with all the other ones on the kitchen counter.

But he does not eat it, he treats it more like a fidget to calm his nerves, to occupy his hands while being nervous.

Ok, call me crazy, but to me this bowl of fruits reads 1) as a metaphor for the secrets and family members and 2) has almost a biblical implication. He took it out of there, out in the open. There is no turning back now any more. He will finally face this conversation, despite being terrified. And him carrying this thing to the couch and holding it sort of aknowledges him being part of this family. At the same time, he separated this one fruit from the rest and did not bring the bowl with him. He clearly does feel separated and not ready to share everything. But he chose this one thing to bring to the table (the couch).

After the talk on the couch, when Ana wants to distance herself from the situation and her overwhelm with it, she goes into the kitchen. And does WHAT? She puts the exact bowl with the other fruits BACK in the fridge, while creating a barrier between her and Lovro. A displacement activity due to being overwhelmed, but also an act to restore order, to preserve the fruit/the family. If it were up to her, she would hide these feelings again.

But when she closes the door of the fridge, Lovro still has his single fruit in hands. He chose to expose himself, this secret and his feelings, finally breaking this cold barrier between them.

And when we move to the table and they share this intimate moment, we get warm light and the other fruits out in the open on the table. Ready to eat, ready to share, as the two were right now. Breaking the cycle finally.
