wilted flowers, now in the color of illusion

Why did an anti claim that "reylos stole the color purple"? I've been around since tfa but I must've completely missed the post that quote came from.

LOL that is a gem. They were just mad because we were using purple as a popular color for our ship because red + blue is purple. A lot of reylo shippers were talking about wearing purple to movies so they could recognize each other. It was all fun and joking but antis took it seriously and for some reason thought a color was possible to steal?

I guess we stole it anyway

Purple trio 💜

In the epilogue we have three characters wearing purely purple, let me introduce them to you:

but only Erica wears it as her second option, the first one looks like Will’s Truman’s shirt:

for Mike and Joyce it’s their first ones preceding Joyce’s jacket and Mike’s graduation gown (however, I’m not sure whether her jacket can be considered “the 2nd outfit” bc of her purplish sleeves?)

and then we know that Mike’s 3rd look is his basement blue shirt; but I’m still not sure whether Joyce has a different one, the lighting in Enzo is quite dark, so it seemed that her cardigan is maroon, but probably it is still the same one.

Nevertheless, Mike and Joyce still have two things in common: 1) they’re the only characters whose first epilogue appearance is accompanied by purple shirts and 2) they both have a near-woke-up scenes:

The tropes hint that after such facial expressions a revelation should follow. The same tropes claim that if it hasn’t proceeded yet, the feeling of eeriness will become even denser until it finally happens after all (if your characters are not the 80s slasher’s inhabitants, of course…)

If it’s true and purple doesn’t mean that these characters are dead (which could also be in an option for Joyce having just one? piece of clothes, and another one being associated with funerals; however, if Joyce wears black, than she is a grieving person at someone’s funeral, not the deceased one) then Hopper most likely is, especially with phrasing things this way.

(The theory also aligns with El being alive bc Mike question reality in which she’s dead, while Joyce question weird wording of here-alive Jim. Then the opposite truth must be correct one)

! btw, Hopper has changed his clothes for Enzo, which makes me question Joyce’s look a bit more. Or maybe it’s still a different cardigan after all

PWHL really bringing the retro vibe today. C'mon people, huddle around the radio for our Hockey ASMR show.

This time in 2009, I was still stuck at the Purple Gate!
