A Seven Days Before Valentine Rant
Casual Watcher goes BRRRRT at the colour and naming schemes. I AM SAYING CASUAL BECAUSE some of this is just very "Mar's Theories" and may not actually fit completely with the show.
TL;DR: Not just colours, ok mostly colours. BUT ALSO WEATHER!? Ok I'll go back to LITA again. Sorry.
There Are Spoilers Literally Right Away. Tread with Caution.
Also it's tangenty and very everywhere.
To Start:
Hi~ I'm Mar. I'm an Art Historian/Conceptual Artist and Researcher. We must protect Q and Jared.
There is a big Colour-Coding conversation about the blues and reds/whites, greys and blacks of this drama.. Which I am here for.
Sun = Red, Starts in Black Clothing eventually ascends into white.
Q (Sky) = Blue, starts in white eventually descends (Jared?!) into greys and then eventually touches on black.
For the Black to White Changing I'm just gonna add that I love the diversity of greys in Everyone's clothing in this.
"Why must there be black and then white? There must be ups and downs." -- To quote the song at the end of 7 Days Before Valentine.
I know there are a lot of Biblical things about this floating around and I'm here for it. Esp with Jared being named Jared. But I won't cover that much. Just mentioning too that Q is Q for Cupid. Teehee.
As I say this and my screenshots of choice are:
Something clicked in me at the Q's real name drop at the end of the series. (Which aforementioned is Sky).
Sunshine said: "Erase everything that stops me from loving Rain.."
Rain took away Sunshine's love and will to do his job: shine in the Sky. So in turn, Rain was erased because Sunshine couldn't do his job or love Rain because Rain just covered him up in clouds.
With cloud-cover/Rain in Sunshine's way, Sky(Q) was the only one given Sunshine's light (wearing white). Sunshine wearing black to show he is being blocked out by Rain's clouds.
Rain loved the Air because the water cycle has to do with the air. However Air is a molecule, and there is a lot of Air. Whereas for Sunshine there is only one Sun. So he was never an option to disappear from the world.
Sky was aware of Sunshine because you can't have a sky without the Sun. However Rain blocked him from his happiness. Sky was erasing every request/cloud that got in the way of Sunshine's light, that includes Rain (not on purpose and also by request of Sunshine). However, Sunshine took time to notice how much work Sky was doing for him. As Sun heals and comes to realizations, Sunshine became warm.
Sky takes on the storm clouds that Rain left Sunshine blocked behind so he is in the black when he left, the black we met Sunshine in. I mean. Not that Sunshine is ever in pitch-black. His black always has a heathering to it.
Q/Sky being dreary and upset also always had dark grey backgrounds like clouds. If Sunshine is off-screen you only see a haze of his golden tones but the background is always off-blue grey otherwise. Later in the show (like Episode 11) is my favourite to show gloomy Sky. Whenever Sunshine is in the same screen a golden hue of sunlight is added.
In the same scene, when Q has some sort of hope. Like. Sunshine says "I want to take care of you" Sky's black comes off as grey.
ALSO JUST.. FOR.. ADDITIONAL FUN.. Jared's name means "Rose" or "to Descend". His name is biblical. He also is generally in whites, reds greens and blues.
Look it these twooo~. Protect themmmm!
Just want to add some quotes:
"Look at the sky, at the stars." -- Sky/Q
"Romantic Kid?" -- Sunshine
"I had nothing to do. So I watched the stars in the sky. I became interested in the solar system. I searched for the answers to everything. I wanted to know how we exist on this Earth in this Universe." -- Sky while staring at the Sun.
In the story of Q as a human: "The morning mist and the first light of day was what he remembered."
"Icarus" - Sunshine to Sky's story about how when Q was Sky (alive, a human) he worked so diligently and hard to become a scientist and left behind his father. He fell hard and fast. Sky said. Icarus.
Sky: I'm close to Sunshine now, will my wings melt?
Sunshine: Not yet.
"Q!?" -- Both of them yelling it at each other in episode 12. Hello both were each other's Cupids!?. Also teehee colour coding. Look at that golden colour and them wearing whites and blue.
"Soaring into the Sky, challenging the Sun."
