Pit Babe 2 Colors Pilot Trailer

The crowd said I have to watch Pit Babe 2 the same way I watched the first season, so here I am starting early and watching the pilot trailer, muted, on double-speed, and without subs.

Wow! This brought back all the memories and emotions quickly, like being mad at Jeffrey for wearing blue AND red (this little son of bitch!). You're lucky my man loves you.

But I'm not as mad at Charles for wearing his blue while incorporating Barbie's black (and white too, Charles . . . okay)

Oh, and I'm thrilled Vegas' Hedgehog and Southwest Airlines FINALLY understood the group color-coding assignment and wore the right effin' colors for once!

And that Kimberly is fully invested in his new squad with his matching colors and blue.

Thank goodness everyone got blue flower bouquets for Way (WHO AIN'T DEAD!) including Peter who got the bluest set.

And I LOVED that the trouble showed up in their respective colors: Whiny Winifred is still red and a little bitch, Dean may have betrayed his family, but I think he is still loyal to the blue,

Kenta is still brooding in black

AND WAYMOND IS BACK IN BLACK TOO!

But I'm very worried about Big Red showing up in white because either he has seen the light and turned good, or he is actually dead, and he will be haunting the season, as in possessing someone.

Like maybe a super Alpha . . .

WHO CAN ABSORB POWERS!

Is Charlie really wearing white and Barbie's black, or someone else's colors?

DON'T LET HIM TOUCH YOU, BARBIE!

Thinking about how they switched shirts and colors while Yuan was gone but switched back before Yuan came back and how the lights and the darks are touching both of them now, bring them together again and the inside of Qian's collar being light.

A moment of appreciation / to process First's blue and yellow stripes, because now that they had feelings affirming sex, he's picked up Sprite's blue.

I do love a color swap.

I was thinking about the black brooder and yellow yal romance because of @respectthepetty while I was getting prepared to read the latest book I've bought and, as I was reaching for the it, I just realized: Nico di Angelo and Will Solace from Percy Jackson.

The son of Hades and the son of Apollo. Like, even the fuckin cover screams it:

#the colors mean things #I just started but I swear Rick #colored boys get happy endings

Uea + Gray

Ok, I wrote this all in response to a post from @respectthepetty but I crave attention so I'm making it it's own post :p

So there is contention about whether or not King's true color is black or blue, throughout Bed Friend we have seen King wear a hell of a lot of black and a hell of a lot of blue. So it's posisble that he is two-toned but I am generally more in the "King is a Blue Boy" camp because at his core, when he is stripped down and bare around Uea in the privacy of his own apartment, he is in blue.

But like RTP has said before, if the black is not one of King's true colors, it means that he is hiding something (his love for Uea) SO WHEN UEA' S WARDROBE THIS EPISODE FLUCTUATES PRIMARILY BETWEEN BLUE, BLACK, AND GRAY?????????????? OUTSIDE OF JUST HIS ROBES????? IN PUBLIC?????????????

You can imagine my excitement...my friends, I present to you THE UEA REALIZING HIS FEELINGS FOR KING EPISODE!!!

We start Ep. 5 where we left off, with Uea and King on the beach. With Uea in red. But the important part is not his outfit, it's his words. "No. It's supposed to be like that, to not take advantage of me."

In episode 4, after Pock assaulted Uea, King asked the same question:

"Can I have something else?" besides a thank you for rescuing you? But Uea's responses are wildly different. In Episode 4 Uea's reply is "If you want more than this, then let's get going," as opposed to "No. It's supposed to be like that, to not take advantage of me." and King doesn't argue, he just asks if they can have sleep together that evening, and Uea says "run out of quota," We are seeing Uea enforce his boundaries with King, oh wait, no I'm sorry. I mean test his boundaries with King. To me, the scene where Uea denies King sex and cites the rules of their FWB, is the beginning of Uea trying to get a better sense of King's interest in him. Is King really a good guy? Does King only care about Uea because they are fucking? What will King's reaction be when he doesn't get what he wants? King makes a joke about Uea being too strict, with the previous evening being totally different (I don't fully understand the context but I'm assuming it's because Uea is counting them sharing a bed in the hotel as one of their three nights and King isn't because they didn't have sex) but otherwise seems content.

So what do we get in the next scene?

(side note: all my love and adoration to whoever decided to go apeshit on the mirrors and reflections in this show) Uea in gray, King in blue. Now, we've seen Uea in this particular gray robe a bunch, but that doesn't negate the fact that he's hiding his feelings. In this scene, King forgets about Uea's trigger, and accidentally sets it off, sees Uea react like this:

Immediately realizes his mistake, and apologizes:

"I'm sorry. You said you don't like it," and gives Uea space that he doesn't ask for but that King knows he needs based on the first time he accidentally triggered Uea and Uea went to hide in his hallway.

What color does Uea wear after?

Our boy is back to wearing blue.

Side note, there is now a red pillow in King's chair which I do not believe existed before...

And more specifically we get him wearing blue at the point in which King is starting to reveal his feelings to him by way of conversation with Jade.

The person he took home is very cute. The person he took home is someone he likes. The person he took home is his type: cold and fierce. The person he took home is much more than a one night stand. And he says these things always looking at Uea.

Uea is wearing this blue when he gets this moment of casual care and intimacy with King:

and when King tries to get his opinion on whether or not he should go on the date with the person his Mom arranged for him:

And when he tries to give King an out at the end of their date dinner:

And when King doesn't take the out:

(coughs in blatantly obvious OST translation)

Next scene?

Back in the gray that Uea always wears when he has sex with King. But this time we end the scene with Uea asking King not to smoke for him, and gently stroking King's waist, and pressing kisses to King's arms and King is saying "yes i'll skip the cigarette for you" and King is saying "let's sleep together" and King is kissing the top of Uea's head and stroking his hair, and hugging him and he's so quiet and gentle and in the morning? What is Uea wearing?

Black.

Two weeks later, what is Uea wearing?

Gray.

And in both these instances, it's interesting because Kit is involved in the scene, and Uea is matching Kit's colors. I suppose this in part is to show that Kit and Uea are connected. That Kit is trying to get Uea to like him, that Kit is trying (and failing) to hide his toxicity, and Uea is trying to hide himself. Trying to hide his personality, trying not to engage with Kit. So that makes sense to me in one sense, but I think there is a double meaning to the gray, and that is that Uea is not being honest about his feelings for King.

We know it, King knows it, and King is just being absolutely patient about it, because he wants Uea to make the first move. He wants, in my mind, to make sure that Uea is a willing participant in changing their relationship from FWB to lovers. He doesn't want Uea to feel pressured into anything, and he doesn't want to ruin what he has with Uea if Uea doesn't feel the same way.

And I think the black and gray is not just meant to tie Kit and Uea together but to symbolize Uea hiding his realization that he is in love with King because we get another round of tests. Or I guess, more accurately, we get King pushing Uea's initial FWB rules.

King puts his arm over Uea's shoulder when they are leaving the coffee shop and Uea doesn't protest, and not only does Uea not protest, but he allows King to continue to hold him like this where other people can see them until they stop to have a conversation at which point Uea gently elbows King off of him to position himself so that King and Uea can be looking each other in the eye while they talk...and that only happens when they are alone. Uea allows himself to be seen in King's embrace by his coworkers.

King is honest about his feelings and tells Uea he is annoyed and Uea stops King from leaving by grabbing King's upper arm and asking him if ignoring Kit is not enough for King to know that Uea isn't flirting, that he doesn't want that attention.

Which to me reads as Uea caring about whether or not King thinks that he might be looking at other people and no longer want to continue their friends with benefits situation. Uea very clearly has a vested interest in making sure King is aware that Uea is not trying to get with Krit.

Then, of course, there is the way that Uea looks at King in the office, when Jade is asking for updates about King and his potential blind date.

King once again pushing at Uea's office boundary by holding Uea's hand and looking him straight in the eye when he says "I'm waiting for him to be ready,"

And I love the exchange here with Jade where Jade is like "Uea, don't be like King," and King messes with his black jacket so that he ends up pulling it more closed "Having a crush on someone but keeping it hidden from friends," and Uea says:

"I don't have one", you know, like a liar. But Uea is bad at hiding his feelings, especially when it comes to King because King is very good at reading Uea. So we get the barest little smile when Uea denies having a crush, without a trace of King looking upset, heartbroken, or rejected.

Instead he tests the work boundary again by being a clingy little baby and teasing Uea with his very exaggerated attempts to hold Uea's hand, and the little kissy face that he makes afterwards:

And where Uea could be genuinely upset or pissed off because King is overstepping the boundaries, but what happens?

It's hard to tell in screen shots but we get the barest of smiles from Uea as he returns to his desk.

Then we get the Kit v. King show down where Uea, emboldened by King turns Kit down:

And the conversation in the break room where Uea says Kit is not his type, and King asks "players?" and Uea looks...guilty? almost, and King is there, flirting with him, asking is Uea believes that he can stop being a player when he cares about someone. And Uea refuses to make eye contact, because he has seen absolutely zero indication from King that he is being a player since they started seeing each other and they laid out the "don't have sex with other people" rule. But again, he's lying about his feelings. He's hiding his feelings so he says "No" no he doesn't believe it. But where King looked almost at the verge of tears the last time that Uea doubted his ability to stop being a player (back in like, episode 1 I think) this time King just..smiles. This time King says "if you never try, you'll never know,"

So King pushes again...this time he loudly asks Uea if he can sleep with him, and he does so at work, and in front of other people. He has pushed too far, so we think, because Uea immediately pulls him away and asks "have you forgotten our agreement?" and the conversation could have ended there. King could have been apologetic, King could have backed off, King could have admitted defeat. He asks "if you don't like it this way, what should I do instead?"

If Uea was fully not okay with King propositioning him at work, he could have said "don't do that here," he could have said "we will not discuss this further, this is a rule I set and you are breaking it, don't do it again,"

Does he? No.

No, no he does not. Uea, in fact, comes up with a very quick solution to allow him and King to flirt in public at the office without people finding out.

Fake phone calls for the win! I love that the second King is able to pretend like he is talking to someone on the phone he just starts showering Uea with "Darling" and "Babe" as frequently as he possibly can. This man is desperately in love with Uea and he's doing everything in his power to show Uea that he feels strongly about him, that he cares for him, that he wants them to be more. He will look Uea directly in the eye and say he's waiting for him to be ready. But he's doing it while teasing Uea at the same time. So does that come off as genuine? No. Is it genuine? Absolutely. But King is in black this whole time because he is still hiding his very real feelings for Uea behind taunts and teases.

So we end the episode with Uea in a blue shirt while watching the football game with King.

Also, I think this is the first time we see King in yellow....P'King, are we happy that Uea is hanging out with us outside of sexy time?

Uea embraced by both King and blue sheets when the lights go out during the storm and he's panicking. King telling him that it's okay, that he's here, that he promises to hold him through the night.

And in the morning? What are they wearing? What colors are on their bodies when Uea and King get interrogated about maybe secretly dating?

Uea is back to his anxiety red and King is in...OH YEAH BABY, THAT'S RIGHT!!! BLUE

It is then worth noting that King is wearing blue in a scene where King's true feelings for Uea cause his jealousy to boil over when he sees Gun talking to Uea, because King knows Gun has a crush on Uea. King is being serious in this scene. He's not making jokes, when Gun questions him King simply says "it's my business,". The only time he gets playful at all in this scene is when Jade says he'll bark with Dang in front of the offfice if Uea and King are secretly dating, and when Uea and King both say "yeah" at the same time and King gets a little playful twinkle in his eye.

From the trailer next week it looks like we are getting more of Kit and Uea which will be interesting in terms of seeing how King reacts when he finds out that Kit is still harassing Uea.

I wanted to talk a little bit about the scene in Only Friends where Boston and Nick confront Atom. It's just so masterfully shot and acted.

First, we've got the scene where Nick tell Atom that Boston wouldn't force someone to sleep with him, no matter how terrible he is

Tell me I haven't gone insane and that other people noticed the slight drop in Boston's expression when Nick said that as well. (Or I may very well have finally started reading too much into stuff). It would be easier to show what I mean via gif, but I can't gif, so we'll have to deal with just this.

Additionally, I would like to say just say how much I loved Nick realizing that Boston is telling Atom that he can't fall in love with the first guy he sleeps with when that is EXACTLY what he did. Because Mark Pakin's expressions here:

are pure PERFECTION. I like that this is somewhat foreshadowing their next scene, where Nick seems to have finally understood Boston's way of living life, and accepted it, somewhat through actually living his life a little like Boston does (sleeping with Dan and Boston, no hard commitments).

It's also interesting to me how these shots highlight how Atom and Nick are similar in some way yet very, very different. The difference between Nick & Boston and Atom are shown in the lighting. Boston and Nick bathed in dark green while Atom has red bricks in the background.

But then, when Nick verbalizes the comparison between him and Atom, we see

red bricks behind him.

The scene provided closure for Boston on the Atom situation. I remember seeing a post about how Boston doesn't need his friends to apologize to him, he has Nick for the next few months before he leaves for the USA. And this scene allowed Boston to get a little revenge and, hopefully, move on. [I had two specific posts I had seen a while ago in mind as I wrote this, but I forgot where I saw them, but I've found them now:

@waitmyturtles has a post here, and it's about ep 11 as a whole, but the part about Nick and Boston had me particularly interested. Both Nick and Boston make callouts to each other, Boston indirectly in this scene, and Nick in the scene that follows.

And there's also this post by @neuroticbookworm, which I mentioned above, and it really highlights how oddly Cheum acted when Atom told her the truth, and how Boston doesn't need his friends and can move on freely with his life.

Highly recommend reading both posts!]

#that's all i have #i had a lot of vague and incoherent thoughts about this scene #which i somehow brought into some semblance of order #im excited for whats next #as rtp says #the colors mean things #only friends the series #only friends meta

Kogami wears black

The change of color panel in Kogami's fashion signifies his change of character. His own emotion. He was haunted by his past action. A crime committed long time ago.

He went above the law by shooting down a culprit he can't enforced on his own. Makishima.

In Season 1, we saw him wearing a semi-formal attire with white undershirt and black suit with unruly neck-tie.

It signifies his pure conscience yet unstoppable determination to hunt down his nemesis.

White undershirt -> represents his clean unrepentant heart.

The dark suit -> represents his resort to violence should the situation require.

In Season 3 and PPP movie, he dons a black shirt and black coat with a pair of blue jeans. Which signifies his understanding of the choices he made and how it tarnished his own hands. Apart from killing Makishima, he worked akin to that of quasi-mercenary.

The black undershirt -> represents his blackened reputation. His anguished, tainted heart.

The dark coat -> still represents his resort to violence should the case needed him to.

The blue jeans -> represents his underlying repentance and desire for peace to prevail someday.

The Role of Akane and Ginoza in his life:

They are his friends.

The ones who are truly concerned about his mental and whole well-being.

The "I'm sorry" Prof. Saiga advices him for is not for the two of them. Not because he had wronged them.

But because he showed them no trust.

In S3/FI novel, he laments his lack of showing trust to Gino and her (Akane). Because he never confides his feeling nor plans to any of them. Something that Akane called him out for during their car Convo (Live-Reading Session) after he picks her out.

Unlike Arata and Kei. Who have each other's back. Despite of their different views (watch Season 3 to know more about the Immigrants condition and Karina's "campaign" for them).

There's an underlying guilt and bitterness in Kogami's heart for not cementing a strong bond with the people he cares about. Unlike Kei and Arata who seemed to mirror his deep-seated longing.

Will one day Kogami finds his peace and wear white again?

In the end, who will be judged?

Uh. . . Hi. I'm Mono. Nice to meet you. . . I guess.

Welcome to my ask blog. Mystic set it up for me so. . . ask your questions.

I'm not here for long-term roleplay, nor to. . . do nsfw. Dirty jokes are fine though. You can call people pussies, I won't get mad.

Don't ask about the uh. . . mask. Or the hidden eye. Or the theme of blue even though I'm black and white.

Just two color-coded girls in love.

They kind of remind me of two other people in love.

No, not them! They are just bros in love with other people.

No! Not them either. They are in love, but they don't remind me of Ongsa and Sun. It's the teachers! Ongsa and Sun remind me of the teachers in love!

But I get it. Every pair had a blue x warm-colored character, so it was hard to know who I was writing about. But that color exchange at the end from Sun was *chef's kiss*

Good luck to the bros through.

Lord knows they need it.

#23.5 degrees #23.5 the series #color coded people in love #the colors mean things #the color exchange #Ton and Mawin are good friends who support each other #even though they both need divine intervention at this point #let the angels hear the bell that Ton rang #HELP THESE BOYS OUT!#The lesbians are already paired up #but the boys?#Lord help them

Sharing your color with someone as directly as possible, sharing the brilliance of your life and the way you see the world with someone who wants to see the world the same way you do because you see something in the world he never has.
