OK YALL BUCKLE UP BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS FOR ABOUT 3 HOURS STRAIGHT I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO
well fuck jongho it sure does
ANYWAY LET’S BEGIN
from Hongjoong’s statement in the Say My Name Making MV, we know that Say My Name is a prequel to Pirate King
we don’t know yet if this applies to Treasure as well, but i’m assuming it does
Yunho also mentions that their outfits play a large part in their roles in this story
but that’s all the Rock Solid information i’m starting with so far, because Seonghwa gets mad at them and tells them to stop spoiling the story
now, theory time.
if we think about the main message of Say My Name’s lyrics, they’re generally singing about being called out to, or summoned
it is very evident of both who and what is summoning them, in my opinion
that’s right
it’s these bad boys
CAPTAIN HONGJOONG AND HIS TRUMPET THING
Hongjoong is calling out to the rest of ATEEZ with his trumpet
and it WORKS!
i’m sure everyone noticed ATEEZ walking towards the trumpet in this shot, almost as if it CALLED TO THEM
by using his trumpet, Hongjoong has summoned ATEEZ
reminder that this is happening before Pirate King, so ATEEZ are technically not Pirate Kings yet
so who were they before they became Pirate Kings?
i have a few thoughts about this too
let’s start with San
we see San sitting in a room full of shattered mirrors in one of his solo shots
anyone else notice what else is in that room?
BITCH
but this also begs the question, why so many broken mirrors?
NOW THIS IS JUST ME GOING OUT ON A LIMB HERE, but what if the only thing San sees in his reflection is his dark self?
which is why he smashes the mirrors, because he doesn’t like that part of himself. Also notice how San’s dark self doesn’t appear when he’s facing Hongjoong’s trumpet. curious…
but unfortunately i don’t have any more ideas about san, so maybe you all could fill in the blanks idk
OKAY LET’S TALK ABOUT YUNHO NEXT.
so we’ve all seen ATEEZ’s big red conference table. strangely enough, although Yunho is seen at this table, he also is seen in his solo shots at a different desk- one much darker and more refined.
NOTICE THE LOCATION OF THE HOURGLASS ON THE TABLE BTW
Also, those stacks of papers are the same ones as the ones in San’s room but idk if that matters
later on in the mv, we see another shot of Yunho at his desk, but this time, he’s frustrated
FUCK I RAN INTO THE IMAGE LIMIT. Let’s just call this Part 1 then. i’ll make a part 2!!
its been 2 years since wings, but i always get so emotional with the solos songs, each one give me such diferent energies
and i feel sad that theses lastest solos from LY dont get me the same. besides Trivia Just Dance and Epiphany, i feel that they tried to repeat the same formula from wings solos but didnt work cause isnt the same soul
