You changed your url!!! :O

Yes!! xmarksthespotonthemilkyway was getting too long for my silly mind XD But hopefully this is still easy to recognize!!

I can't even begin to describe just how much weird comfort all this stuff about Toby and Theo reacting/interacting with more-or-less current canon timeline things gives me. Thank you so much for de-anoning, Non.

no problem! with asks like these i’m definitely glad i dropped the anonymous mask! like, holy shit, it’s been great so far!

just loving the vibes here :D

having toby and theo react/interact with current canon timeline is always going to be interesting and fun and kinda comforting because we’ve all been with toby and theo from almost basically the start? and currently where they are in Rewind is in the past of course, and things have changed and generally time-travel fics meshed with aus is almost always gonna be a great read.

which is exactly why i started writing in the first place and it’s all coming along amazingly <3

Retail Therapy - for most it means clothes shopping.

For me, it meant giving myself permission to buy a pack of dinosaur erasers that are just so cute, even though I probably shouldn’t be spending £3.50 on a bunch of rubbers I’m never going to use for their intended purpose.

@doggomochi I don't know if I'm your color theory person (I apologize if I'm not and please feel free to ignore this)? I started writing about it? We were barley a few clips in, back then. But a lot of very amazing and very smart people like @stazyros commented and followed up with their own very interesting theories so...I do remember color-coding the Machwitz sisters (including something about beeing and wanting to be) and something about Mind (Ratio) = blue vs Heart (Emotio) = red. I also compared it with one of Stalins portraits? This got way out of hand, which is why I decided to make a separate post. I´m sorry for any mistakes and for the... well. Everything. This was supposed to be a something short, but then I started spiralling and going way to deep and hard and now we've got (dis-)honorably mentions of sleep deprivantion, biology, thermosphysics, Stalin and very strong tea. Mhm. I dont have any excuses. 

Back to your question: What do I think of a blue Nora wearing Josh's red beanie. I'd like to adapt my previous theory: Blue doesn't represent the "cold" (as in cold color = blue) or rational mind but maybe the absence of emotions or better yet the absence of feelings and senses. We've seen Nora suffer(?) from a lack of heat reception (burning her hand, drinking hot beverages, etc). I'd love to point out that heat/ warmth = warm color = red, aka the tendency of Nora not having/ wearing it...but she also went into the cold lake and I dont remember if we saw her suffer or hurt (herself) because of something cold? (I had like 3hrs of sleep and I had to concentrate on other things for a while, which is why I havent been a) very present in the tag and following discussions b) rewatching every clip and c) following up with my intended Color Theory thingy I started centuries ago... so me forgetting something is totally possible but unintended. It is not my intention to mislead or cover up information).

So that's/ before the brakes ⤴ is how I would adapt my Stalin-Theory

(the blue books where his head is at symbolize him lookig at the future/ past -depending on the way you want to interpret the direction of his look- with a cold and rational mind, while the red/ warm color of the bookshelf represents ... almost everything else? Love for the country (books at heart level) but also ofc The Soviet Union, Russia, Communism, Socialism, Blood of the fallen/ heros or smth. I dont really remember and this is not supposed to be an art history lesson or a lecture on russian history. -I'm no expert. So please, please take everything with a grain of salt and pepper).

Back to me keeping things short:

Blue = cold color = lack of feelings/ sense deprivation

Red = warm color = emotions/ feelings/ senses she should have or wants to have.

It could be fun (and a lot of work) to go through Kikis and Zoes color choices. Especially with your take on this. Wasnt Zoe talking about wearing a red dress to Finn's mums party? And she/ he rejected the idea and this leads us to people/ Germany prefering blue over red. And you know... now that I'm thinking about it. People (almost) never complain if you're too blue, its the preferred color or way-to-be. But too much red sets people off. You're too passionate, too sensible, bury the pain, its just a small cut/ burn, dont complain, dont bleed out (dont let the red out), just wait (and your hot beverage will cool down) and it'll get better, dont (over-)react etc. Its the opposite to Noras story. The goal isn't blue, its red.* And now comes the mic drop.

And now to your very interesting and insightful observation/ theory (*heart eyes emoji*): I might be reaching here but our theories are not mutually exclusive? 🤔 You too coded the colors as contrasts/ each others opposites: Red = outside world/ how other people know her/ function vs Blue = inside world/ how she knows herself/ not-function (?). Which is really interesting because its usually the other way around? You have to keep your "red" to yourself, inside you. Blue is what others want to see, what they value above almost everything else (at least in Germany).👀 Nora is different because her lack of red is bothersome to a few people, worrisome to her friends and Josh and possibly dangerous to herself. Her friends and Josh want her to care, to react, to feel, to be part of the group, of the outside world, to do something, to be red. And yes, Josh is trying, maybe even succeeding at coaxing it out of her. She has all of this inside of her, she is capable of being red, her true(?) self. -And yes, its biology, but I'm flowing with this now- we see it in her (very?) red lips, her cheeks, her choosing red colors or actually seeking warmth (laying in the sun). But blue is also a part of her, aka blue eyes! And this might be a sign for me to go to sleep or to stop drinking tea, but (not giving up!) this is important and has nothing to do with biology or bodily functions (although our cheeks do turn red when exposed/due to warmth and coldness) because its all a part of her red/ blue, inside/ outside, who she is and knows herself/ how other people see/know her (Selbstbild vs Fremdbild). And you know what will be and is already a part of her? Her mental illness.

I feel like this would be the perfect moment for a mic drop. Although I would like to add something else. Or more like, not (dis-)miss your take on grey and white? (Let me point out that Stalin is wearing white and has grey hair. This shall be the last time I mention this fucking painting. It has been almost 8 years and it still haunts me). Yes, I think you're absolutely right! Isn't white/ grey (she wears white too, righ? Either way, its usually a very light grey, not a dark grey) the absence of color? But also the result of adding/mixing colorful light? Too much color (red/blue) = her mi peaks and she's in white/ grey, but also the absence of color = her mi peaks too and she's in white/ grey. I dont know a lot about mental illnesses and she hasn't been diagnosed so I'm not going to go much deeper into this particular subject.

*didn't want to disturb my epic conclusion, but one should always aim for balance. Or as much balance as possible. ...And balance is very important and key if you're attempting to parcour your way through life. (Got it?! I'm so incredibly smart 👐) Its important to point out that Josh's beanie belongs to Josh (...ya, not so smart after all). Its a Leihgabe (forgot the English word, gonna look it up later). He's literally sharing the warmth of his head/ mind with her. Because clothes are warm when you share due to body heat and so on. Biology and Thermophysics. Oh! We've seen a lot of hugs and hugs are perfect for heat sharing! Now, is he trying to coax the red out of her or is he sharing lending his red with/ to her? I wouldn't bet on him wearing something of hers (not with this theory). But this is all interpretation and bending color coding to my will. I'm exhausted.

I feel like I should write a conclusion part for this thesis paper of mine. But its long enough, right? I'm happy to answer any questions?

Thank you for coming to this wild ride with me and congratulations on staying 💛😂😅

I did some palette things for some idea junks

The characters are, a concept for a long forgotten idea called Mirror Crack and they characters are Mi and Ro. Second is Jojo, and the last one is an older and not the same style version of Rae.
