Background Noise in Marahuyo Project
Marahuyo Project was good, but above al else, I greatly appreciated the visuals!
Because beyond King's tattoo (King on top of the World),
His vest when he arrives on the island is fishes and fishes spill on him which connects him to the water as if the sea is reclaiming him.
And his school reinforces that.
I'm unsure if the show did this on purpose, but in The Odyssey, Ino is the one who saves Odysseus from drowning in the sea.
Poseidon created a storm because he was upset and Ino warned Odysseus to abandon the ship but he refused believing he could navigate the storm and became lost at sea, ("Lost at Sea" shirt)
So Ino had to rescue Odysseus by throwing him a protective veil so he could safely get to shore with his wrecked ship.
So whenever King is most connected to his friends, his connection to the sea is obvious like when the mermaid scandal happened and his friends took the blame, his shirt had dolphins on it.
And the final pose for the group after their punishment makes the mermaid a part of their group (and Ino) while blocking out the historical betrayer.
When they went looking for Lili, King's shirt had a shark on it.
And when King helped Ino, more fishes.
Basically, he is where he is meant to be, but it's not all about the water because butterflies are also a symbol of transformation.
So they can be seen as people transform into who they were meant to be.
And embracing who they also were.
Then there is the obvious symbolism of Archie's irritated neck since he bears a heavy cross, literally and figuratively.
He always wears the rosary and plans to join the priesthood, but he struggles with the his internal conflict regarding his sexuality and his faith.
Of course I appreciated all the rainbows.
Even beyond the Pride flag.
Venice's rainbow heart button and Lorie's rainbow bag strap.
The rainbow hands in what looks to be the "Fight the Power" pose
And all the clothing and accessories calling out the binary (pro trans)
However, as a color demon, I loved that Marco was ALWAYS in red because he was the biggest red flag and the violent one.
However, my personal favorite shirts were "COLOR should be not block equality"
"My heart is at the sea" mostly knowing what happened to Christina.
And the "DUMP HIM" shirt!
