Her Saturday 💙💛

This was going to be a post only about shoes as a gift for @respectthepetty...but then Pet made this post about graphic designers understanding the assignment and my thoughts started spiralling. I'll come back to the title cards and colour-coding later...but first, SHOES!

If you've been following me for a while, you'll know I pretty much lose it when I see a Thai character wearing the Mustard yellow-soled shoes (I really need to buy myself a pair). It started with Pat, Pran, and Pa in Bad Buddy...

...but the shoes have also been worn by Win and Lin (in Cupid's Last Wish), Tinn and Gun (Our Skyy 2 x My School President), Jeng (Step By Step), and most recently, Zo in Hidden Agenda.

But this isn't the point of the post. No.

My gift to Pet is my recent discovery that Joke in Hidden Agenda has shoes with BLUE soles.

I have yet to find them online but I haven't given up yet. I mean, look at them (I need a pair of these as well):

I had noticed the little pop of red on the heel during the airing of the show and thought it was a nice little nod to the red and yellow theme, but the discovery of the blue and Pet's insightful post I mentioned earlier has got me questioning.

Because I know the red and yellow theme was emphasised with the roselle and chrysanthemum juices, and the stories of the red roses and yellow sunflowers...and I know Pet has already written an outstanding analysis of the use of these two colours plus the blue and how they connect to the triangular theory of love...BUT I can't help looking at this

and wonder if this graphic designer also really understood the assignment.

Like, really understood

Really

Definitely

Understood

Because despite the red, I wonder if we do have singular colour-coded characters, with Joke being a loyal blue boy and Zo a yellow yal.

On Zo's practice date, he's painting in yellow with the yellow water in front of him but Joke has blue water in front of him despite painting green (in their play-fighting Joke threatens to throw the blue water over Zo). Joke also wipes the green on his face - a combination of these two colours.

After the date-that's-not-a-date, Zo decides to leave for a few days and takes both these colours with him (and, he soon accepts, Joke as well).

And when they meet Uncle Yod the hotel owner he's wearing their merged colours.

To Joke, Zo's face looks like the sun. He feels comfortable and warm around him. Zo thinks Joke should learn to generate that warmth for himself. Warm and cold.

Zo struggles with Joke's sincerity (just like they struggle to get the blue bus moving), even whilst wearing the blue shirt (with the yellow detail below the collar).

And even though Zo wears red once (and pink a few times), he wears blue several times. (I don't think I remember seeing Joke in red at all). And we get a colour exchange, with both of them in front of green backgrounds.

And finally, despite going home to his very red family, Joke has blue over his heart and Zo is finally embracing his yellow.

I'd very much like to posit that these are their true colours, that they've been carrying in their soles souls the whole time but maybe hiding them because they weren't fully sure of themselves or each other. Because when looked at like this, the graphic designers really did follow the assignment.

💛 if s/i were a colour, an animal and a place, what would they be?

🦋: I answered this one in a previous ask-

🤡: which means it's MY TURN! Let me flashily answer first this time!! Jinx would obviously be the colour purple, and theyre already an animal! They're a coyote! As for a place, I'll say that they're like the sea, wild and untamed and where I belong

❤️ is there anything you would like to do with s/i in the near future?

🤡: ohhh, there's a lot of things I'd like to do with them ;o) but what I'd really like is for them to join my crew, I mean they're here all the time anyway! I don't know why they always say no..

🦋: I think I'd like to take a day to stay in with them and relax. Just be together and nothing else. Doesn't need to be fancy so long as we're in each other's arms

💜 what is something you would like to say to s/i right now?

🤡: I'd say that they're my favorite freak and I want them to stick by my side while I become king of the pirates! >:o)

🦋: let me be sappy and tell them how grateful I am to have spent all these years with them and how much I'm looking forward to the rest of our eternity 💙

Story time!🐝💛🖤💛🖤

A few years ago at my previous job, I was cleaning some outside tables in the middle of summer. There was a row of bushes/flowers/plants etc directly opposite where I worked (with my allergies, it was hell on me😩 - this is relevant to the story!) and bees, wasps etc. were common there.

It was a day I was wearing a lighter coloured shirt and I had this big fluffy pom-pom sized bumble bee (it literally looked like a yellow and black ball of fluff with wings) land on my shirt. It was the sweetest; it walked up and down my arm and I froze into place. Bees only really land on us when they mistake us for flowers and it made me tear up. I stayed there for five minutes, on a hot summer's day, busy with customers but not moving or doing anything until the cute little bee flew off.

When I went back inside, I blamed the tears on my face on my allergies and said it was just too pollen-heavy outside. I wasn't allowed back outside for the rest of the shift, which was more than fine with me!

But the reality of the situation was that I found this friendly bee, who had mistaken me for a flower, and it was so damn cute I cried.🥺

THIS IS SO CUTE OMG 😭😭😭💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛 I'm sorry about your allergies, they're so annoying omg I struggle with polline too sometimes during springs, but this is so sweet and worth it imho 🥺 I love when it happens, they're so precious when they do that 😭 there's something so sweet in knowing that they picked you as where to land on, you're the chosen one, it's special 🥺 they're genuinely so harmless, they only attack if they sense our fear or if we attack them first, legit they're just little fuzzy things and I find it absolutely adorable that when it happens we freeze and wait for them to go away as if they're a guest, they are tbh 😭💙 they're so precious khdkgskgajfzkggsgj plus honey is v tasty, they're truly the best animal kind 😂🍯 ALSO OMG I lost my mind picturing this little living being looking like a fluffy pom-pom, I pictured this cute bumblebee snuggled up your shirt and is the cutest thing ever omg 🥺🥺
