#Newton's theory

[unbfacts]

I LOVE this shot so god damn much. The lit chandelier and vibrant red wall behind him. The lush red vase with what I think are little cupids on it. Shelves of gold-toned books with red-toned detailing. Thick yellow gold framing everywhere. His champagne cravat and dark blue velvet jacket. Dark red flowers right next to him, and even some yellow flowers in the top left corner. Everything here means romance and love and Penelope.

The way he is placed in the shot, behind the others, closer to the wall and the flowers- the production team has done to him what they had been doing to Pen. Colin and Pen have switched places. He’s the wallflower here.

And he looks positively sick. He is at that stage of love where he is physically ill with it. The heaviness of his love is reflected in the heaviness of everything in this room. Just looking at this shot gives me the stomach-sinking, blood-draining, soul-crushing feeling that you can only get by watching the person who means everything to you be with someone else.

HOLD ON WAIT WHAT IF THIS IS WHEN THEYRE ARGUING ABOUT HER BEING WHISTLEDOWN ANF THATS WHY HE LOOKS SO DEVASTATED AND CONFUSED

Like we know in the books the carriage ride happens right after theyre argument about her being whistledown so what if thats what this moment is. The heartbreak and devastation on his face HAS to come from whistledown. Im all for her yelling “IVE ALWAYS LOVED YOU” but that face also has to have something to do with finding out shes whistledown. I cant wait until the 16th😭😭😭😭

OK OK I HAVE A NEW THEORY

I think he had a sit down with her. The way his coat is flipping, he has just stood up. He has apologized and explained himself for this:

She has explains why she is angry and why he really messed up her prospects.

He came to see her after the ball the night before, after she says this:

He groveled. She won’t let him forget it but this is the reconciliation and the beginning of their “lessons”.

THOUGHTS?

👀👀👀👀 I already have my theories about episode 4. But Nic saying that is making me add to them and come up even more theories.

[dollypopup]

like. . .are any other Polin fans out there that do not give a singular flying fuck about Debling? we should form a club lol because from the very bottom of my heart and with my whole chest: I could not care less about him. Not sorry, I'm tuning into S3 for Pen and Colin and Pen and Colin alone

Damn, wouldnt it be crazy if Ruin is trying to build a star like what Dark Sun envisions so that he can fix his own universe because he doesnt feel like he belong on Sun and Moons?

GUYS GUYS GUYS PLEASE HEAR ME OUT ON THIS

Yellow and purple are opposites on the colour wheel, and what else is purple and yellow? The colour of Newton's filaments.

If we're following the theory that Newton is being influenced by the Titans or merely under their control and not full on possessed, then this could imply a lot.

One thing that immediately came to mind (for me at least) is how the Titans could've been merely taking all of Newton's bottled up hatred and lack of self worth and multiplying that by like a hundred. (think of Mr L from spm and you'll understand what I'm implying here)

While Newton when we first meet him and towards the end of the game (when his filaments are yellow) is what he wishes others to perceive him as, meanwhile when his filaments are purple (so while he's under the control/influence of the Titans) he's showing his true emotions towards those who've most likely hurt him in the past

Another thing I've noticed is what the colours themselves imply.

While yes, yellow is mostly associated with joy and happiness, but it's also commonly seen symbolising cowardice, illness, betrayal, egotism and anxiety.

Which perfectly sums up Newton in the beginning of the game, already showing us what kind of character we're dealing with.

He seems like a joyful and outgoing character, costly showing himself off in the best way he can. But the more you interact with him, the more dialogue you receive from him, the more you start to realise there's more depth to this otherwise 'silly and goofy' character

Newton's whole thing is that he wants praise, he wants affection. He desires it more than anything, which just further feeds into the idea that he's self conscious and struggling from extreme anxiety. Believing that he'll never be good enough, leading him to go to extreme lengths to get people to finally notice him.

Meanwhile, purple is a colour commonly associated with royalty and power, showing Newton's newfound abilities now that Titans are controlling him and basically manipulating into committing mass destruction across his planet.

But what else is purple associated with? Decadence, self-indulgence, conceit, pomposity and pride.

Purple is also sometimes seen as a color of mourning. Which is implying the old Newton, the one the player met at the start of the game, is dead. He's not the same character, not anymore and not right now. He's a twisted corrupted version of himself, letting his hatred and want to prove himself as worthy of attention and love get the better of him.

It's those emotions that allowed him to be manipulated into freeing the Titans, and why he never fought back against their control over him until much later into the game where he finally had enough and snapped.

Going back to my original statement about the two colours, purple and yellow, being opposites on the colour wheel.

These are called complimentary colours. They're exactly opposite eachother and sometimes referred to as 'harmonious colours' and contrast extremely well.

This implies that these two sides Newton has to himself, they CAN co-exist.

One of my friends even pointed out that when mixing light, overlapping purple(or magenta) and yellow gives you white. (Do some research about the additive colour mixing theory if you don't believe me this is true)

And what does white symbolise? Most commonly, purity and peace. Further proving that the two vastly different and seemingly contradicting personalities Newton showed in the game are able to exist alongside one another.

There's nothing wrong with experiencing emotions of jealousy and spite and neither is it wrong to display yourself as overly positive and confident in yourself to others, but the important thing is to not let these feelings and emotions dictate your life.

The Titans merely helped bring the negative bottled up emotions to the surface. They didn't create a whole new snarky personality for Newton while controlling him like a puppet on a string. It was there the whole time.

It was what Newton always wished to have done, to finally let everyone who ever wronged him experience EXACTLY what he did.

Good Omens season 3 bingo

Made something silly. Enjoy. (I will. 😅) [Can't wait for the day we can actually use it.]

What if — and hear me out — Agnes Nutter knew that Anathema and Newt would burn the first copy of the second book of prophecies?

I know, I know — you’re thinking, “so why did she send it in the first place?”

1. Maybe she didn’t get the idea that they’d burn it until after she sent it or

2. She knew they would burn it, but she also knew that if she let them burn it and find out what life was like without her prophecies, or even just knowing that they could’ve maybe helped someone because of the prophecies and now they can’t because they burned them, then they would start to feel differently about their decision.

So what if in season 3, we see someone deliver a package to Anathema and Newt (still together? Broken up? Together but in counseling? Lol) and this time, they decide to actually look at the prophecies. Maybe not because they want to get sucked in, but just because curiosity gets the better of them. And the one they read sucks them right back into The End of The World, and we get to see a return of some season 1 friends :)

What do you mean I’m fixating on all of the red tones in the Bridgerton season 3 trailer and how they seem to be following Colin around, gradually increasing in prominence, like a certain red-headed siren wallflower who haunts his dreams???

[miraculously-lost]

OKAY OKAY WAIT I HAVE A THEORY I HAVENT SEEN YET

WHAT IF they’re at the ball and its Penelope’s first time with this brand new look and shes actually getting attention from suitors and the night is going pretty well. Colin is watching from afar confused because there’s something uneasy about the situation but he can’t figure out what so he’s just watching on the sidelines. NOW Penelope is feeling good and great and shes thriving but suddenly someone starts to get a little jealous of her. Penelope goes to get some lemonade or steps out for a moment for some air because this is all new to her. Cressida follows her outside and tells her she looks like a fool and ridiculous everyone is just mocking her and she will always be an insipid wallflower regardless of how she tries to hide it and no one will ever love her or want her. Of course because she’s still insecure at heart Penelope believes her. Cressida walks away with a smirk on her face and leave Penelope on the balcony alone. Penelope starts crying and runs away pulling pins from her hair. She stops at a gazebo and just sits and cries when someone calls her name from behind her. Colin having been watching her the whole night saw everything that happened and without thought followed her into the garden. He asks her what Cressida said and she tells him through tears and he gets closer wanting to wipe the tears away and comfort her. The closer he gets more beautiful she looks and he cant believe she would ever believe Cressida’s words. He’s in a trance listening to her words and fighting every urge to rest his hands against her cheeks and wipe away the tears when suddenly he hears “Colin will you please kiss me” or the exact quote from the book. And then we have this moment from the picture.

So sorry if anyone has posted something like this already i haven’t seen it yet so i just wanted to share. Can’t wait for season 3!!

[gaytomwambsgans]

it’s like a personality test for someone to watch pacific rim and see whether they fixate on newt or hermann i think. and like don’t get me wrong i love them both and i can definitely see why a person would go crazy over newt but there’s no competition for me for my fav, hermann just gets under my skin in a way newt doesn't. i don’t know what your fav actually says about you btw i just think it’s interesting
