I should've given an award to Oh No! Here Comes Trouble last year for the red thread of a fate, but Unknown's final episodes just solidified that this WILL be a Colors Award this year.
Because I just really love when the colors color so fucking well.
The red stairs were a character all on their own.
Those red stairs continuously showed they were connected.
And it worked so well since Qian and Yuan were black and white.
So every time the red showed up between them, it was just a reminder of their connection.
And that they were meant to be together.
Because with Yuan, Qian is lighter.
Without him, he is completely dark.
That red street brought them together.
It's where their story began, both as brothers, and as partners.
And it was extended even to San Pang and Lili.
Yuan and Qian's light and dark dynamic was constantly reinforced.
Again and again
And when Yuan told Qian not to be afraid of the cracks because that's where the light comes in, it reinforced the whole purpose of this light and dark dynamic.
In Qian's dark world, Yuan brought light. When Qian thought he was flawed, Yuan showed him he was loved. Where Qian thought he was broken, Yuan healed him.
So for Yuan to say that he thinks Qian's mother brought them together, and for us to always see in her red . . .
In a painful way, Yuan is right. Qian is who he is because of the hurt from his mother. Qian would have never met Yuan, would have never protected Yuan, and would have never loved Yuan the way he had if he hadn't been so adamant to never be his mother.
And because of that, Yuan can return that love to Qian (while they are balanced in similar colors)
AND THE BLACK BRACELET! (Since Qian is color coded black, him giving Yuan his color is so significant, and now Yuan is giving him back all that love!)
The red brought them together.
And now they get to sit there in this soft blinding light of love in their soft pinks being happy and in love with each other!
Take your award, Unknown!
Fucking Taiwan, hurting me twice with this damn red thread.
There is a red thread of destiny the connects people, a red thread of fate that means no matter how far apart you are you are still connected and that red thread is woven of love.
(Light and dark and red threads bind through pain and confusion and distance.)
There is a Chinese/Japanese theory about a Soul tie- The Red Thread theory of fate which is my favorite. It talks about how everyone is born with a red thread and the other end is tied to the person who is your soulmate in this lifetime.
The whole title would be SIgns that you are tied with a Red Thread of Fate with Someone.
Free will exists and nobody should be forced to be with a person because of a red thread.
The signs are the following-
Premonitions or Dreams- Having vivid dreams of premonitions about a mysterious person who feels incredibly familiar.
Intuitive feelings- Feeling a strong intuition or inner knowing that there is someone out there who is meant to be a significant part of your life.
Longing or Yearning- Experiencing a deep sense of longing or yearning for a connection with someone you haven't met as if there is a missing piece in your life.
Symbolic Signs: Noticing symbolic signs or recurring themes in your life that seem to point toward the existence of this person.
Manifestation: Engaging in practices like visualization or manifestation and feeling a strong pull toward attracting this person into your life.
Unexpected Encounters: Having unexpected encounters or chance meetings with people who seem to have a connection to the person you haven't met yet.
Unexplained Emotions: Experiencing unexplained emotions or reactions when thinking about or imagining this person, such as a sense of warmth or comfort.

Concept: Red Thread of Fate but instead of just directly leading to your soulmate it gets tangled around the people in your life that are meant to hurt/distract you in order to make you think they were meant for you, but eventually you get away from that person(s), untangle them from your life and you are finally able to follow the string to your real soulmate

الطبيعي ان تكون احدى نهايتي الخيط حول خنصر احدهم والنهاية الاخرى حول بنصر المعني لقلبه والذي فرض عن ذاك الفتى هو انه وصل متأخرا وقتها ولم يتبقى ما يكفي من الخيوط لتمتد بينه وبين نصفه الآخر ولم يتبقى حتى شخص ليكون توأما لروحه ولذا ربط جزء صغير من الصوف الاحمر حول اوسط اصابعه وحده اما المفاجأة فكانت وجود ما يكفي من الخيوط لوصل عشرات الاشخاص الا ان ملاكه الحراس كان متكاسلا واخرق بعض الشيء لينتهي به المطاف بعقد الخيط غير مرة واحاطه كامل جسد المسكين به مقيدا حركته كما انه نسي اسم من كان معنيا ان يشغل دور توأم روحه ولذا حين فزعه من مواجهة عقبات تلك الهفوة سكب اكثر من جرة حبر على الخيط مغلفا اياه بالسواد باستثناء جزء صغير يحيط باوسط اصابع يسراه ليبدأ حياته بعدها كالشخص المذنب بحيواته السابقة مكبلا بسواد ذنوب لم يقترفها لكنه بموجب بعض لون الغروب مجبر على الاستمرار فهو نصف ذاته الآخر.

'Fate.
The cruellest unchangeable fact of life.
There are many who believe in it, and even more who don't.
And I consider those who don't believe in it to be idiots.'

This story is based on the red string of fate theory, also known as the red thread of fate.

Non-idol AU
Taemin (SHINee) Fanfic
I'm back with another fanfic titled The Boundless Sphere of Fate, a Taemin Fic I've started writing in August 2023 and completed somewhere in December 2023 as a Christmas gift for my best friend @dani-less.
The protagonist of the story is called Blair, a made-up character with some unfortunate circumstances that you'll get to see as the story progresses.
The story itself is based on the red strings of fate theory. For whoever is not familiar with this theory, Wikipedia says: "The two people connected by the red thread are destined lovers, regardless of place, time, or circumstances. This magical cord may stretch or tangle, but never break. This myth is similar to the Western concept of soulmate or a destined partner."
It will be a pretty short fic, with only about 20k words, but hopefully you will enjoy it nonetheless and have fun reading it.

A silly drawing of Silkwing (Silk Touch x Darkwing Duck) for you because yes and because I saw some people who liked it.
Basically here is a joke with that "Red Thread" thing that connects two people destined to be soul mates. But the Darkwing DID NOT accept that his soulmate is a CRIMINAL when he is a hero, and tried to cut the red thread, but in the end he just got stuck with "fate".
From what they could see, DWD was reluctant as hell at first that he and Silk would have something beyond mortal rivalry or partnership for interests (and also for their own personal reasons regarding the previous relations-), but everything in time and they one day , will accept. That's it... BYEEE!!!
Just so we are all on the same page - Qian was very comfy in Yuan's arms when he first woke up before he realized his friend was about to open the door.
But then again, he is always relaxed in Yuan's arms.
And Lili was definitely that The Good Place meme about Yuan and Qian only having eyes for each other.
You know the one.
Because even without my glasses, I would know these two belong together thanks to their colors.
NOW BRING ME THE ANGST!
And that thin red line of fate that will always connect them!
Did you see how fast Yuan was, when he herd Qian making noise? Wasn't even a millisecond, till he was downstairs to see what was going on. Boy's protectiveness must be on high alert .
Yuan is so, so protective of Qian. He's seen him hurt again and again and he will never be helpless again, never watch Qian suffer again or be hurt or bleed for him.
Never again.
Yuan loves Qian and he loves him so deeply and he's loved him ever since he saw him bleeding and he's loved him more as he's watched him sacrifice again and again for him and his love takes all of that into account.
And all that love has turned him fiercely protectively and fiercely adoring and Yuan is aching, breaking, filled to the brim with love for Qian and a desperate need to protect him.
(Qian is going to send him away to try to change him but nothing will change him, nothing will change them, nothing can cut the red thread that connects them.)
Because there is love and there is love.
Yuan wants to be able to love Qian forever and he will no matter the distance or the space or time and now it's Qian's turn to sit with his love for Yuan, to sit with himself and learn himself and realize what Yuan has known for so long...
"Such a small thread like that, is it gonna be able to hold? A little pull, and it's torn apart. Why are you laughing?"
"Hia, you're the least romantic person; did you know that? The red thread can't be easily broken."
"Hey, I just looking at it based on reality. A small thread like that can be torn easily."
A Chinese proverb says; an invisible red thread connects those destined to meet. Despite the time, despite the place, despite the circumstances. The thread can be tightened or tangled, but never be broken.
