The North and Dean Scene at the Bar (ep8)

*these are just my thoughts about some of the details*

The first thing is that caught my attention in this scene is that North's side of the bar feels much more cluttered and chaotic, especially with the bright light. I think this reflects the state of his mind. He's obviously been thinking a lot about Sonic and what's been going on with their relationship and what went wrong (the when, how, and why of it all too) but also what he could do to fix it. Which is why he called Dean for help/advice and company.

Another thing. There is a literal red sith lord (darth maul, i think) in the background here (against the wall on the left). One might say it's hiding in plain sight. Whether it's referring to Dean or not, I can't be sure. But he does come into the scene in the shadowed section of the bar so... do with that information what you will. Although, if we do go with the idea of a sith representing Dean, it could also simply suggest that he's going to stir up things for North, which could just be challenging his thought-process, and not that he's necessarily a 'member of the dark side'. But again, I can't be sure.

Ultimately, I think there are two potential ways to view and analyse this scene: one being as a representation of North's perspective (and so Dean as his role to/for North in this scene) and the other being as a general third-person perspective that reveals things about each person.

These shots of them in the reflections are also interesting. The one on the left is from closer to the beginning of the scene– the first of two times they use this camera angle in the scene. At first I thought it was more about how he was in a reflective and introspective mood. But then later in the scene with the second shot (on the right), Dean comes in more clearly, no longer just his back in the reflection but his face too now. And he's prominently in a shadow, unlike North who's in the light. Now, this could mean that Dean isn't the one doing the reflecting in the moment, since he's just here to help North. But this show also has a history of using shots in reflections to suggest deceit or hidden motives, which could be either well-intentioned or malicious (for example, both Charlie and Willy have had such shots but the former had good intentions and the latter had bad intentions). So it's possible that these shots suggest that Dean or even North could be lying about or hiding something.

The red-blue divide here is pretty obvious. Even though in the shadow Dean has more blue light on him, when he comes more into the light, he's more washed in red. Though his shirt is still blue, because of the dark tone of the blue it doesn't stand out against the red like North's lighter blue shirt. If we take this scene as a representation of North's perspective, it could be implying that Dean is going to disrupt his perspective or perhaps push him out of his way of thinking– which he kind of does by telling him to hold onto the opportunity to work things out with Sonic and that it's worth a try despite North's reservations. Alternatively, they could also be hinting at Dean's true allegiances.

These obstructions in the shots of North still confuse me. The first time we get this angle (on the left) I thought it was supposed to represent North's mental blocks and the thoughts and concerns he has about taking his relationship with Sonic to the next level and about how to fix it in general. But then at the end of the scene we get the shot on the right. North looks like he's thought over what Dean said and he's come to a realisation. I thought an unobstructed shot would've followed to represent that, but that's not what they did. Moreover, there’s actually more red than blue now that his shirt is completely hidden in the second shot and there're still the shelves in the way. I'm not sure what this means. Maybe the realisation he came to was wrong? Maybe he'll still say or do the wrong thing? Or maybe the obstruction is not representing North (or his thought-process) at all and there’s something else entirely that I'm missing?

Now this one is a bit more far-fetched than everything else I've said so far but. That clown really stands out to me. Not only because of the red, but because of how the angle of the camera makes it look like it's in the car. Also in the second shot there's a reflection of the X-Hunter logo on Dean's jacket upside down on the glass panel, which is not a very good sign. It’s not necessarily suggesting Dean is responsible for whatever the bad thing is, but it also could be interpreted that way. Either way, it is a bad sign in general for the team. I can't put my finger on what it all means in the bigger picture exactly but it has to mean something and that clown has to represent somebody. Maybe it has to do with the mole which may or may not be Dean ?

Back to the obstructions again. These ones are really taking up space because of how blatant they are. They aren't shadowed like the shelves I talked about earlier in those shots of North. These ones are right there in our faces, red coloured accents and all. Also, from these angles none of them cover North, only Dean. All while Dean talks to North with an arm on his shoulder (I don't think Dean has powers but now I get stressed whenever a person is touching someone else and the vibe is even the slightest bit off, I can't help it). However, Dean's blue jacket and X-Hunter logo are quite prominently on display in the second shot. And if this really is a scene built on North's perspective, it could just be about the opposing optimistic perspective Dean is bringing to North's resisting pessimism.

Another thing about the first shot on the left specifically that throws me off is the mix of the blue and red in the background around Dean. I can't tell exactly what they're trying to convey with that. Especially with how his head is between the two red bars of light. Maybe it's alluding to Dean's past mistakes? Or maybe that he's still on the other side? I have no idea.

So yeah, those are my thoughts on this scene. This wasn't meant to clear anything up– mostly because I am just very confused by most of the things they've done here (as you can probably tell). But I thought some of the details were worth pointing out.

bonus: a picture of me as an extra in this scene

Babe and Kim alike are gonna go feral on Friday and it's gonna be a feast..until tragedy hits but it's okay, we can just not think about that.

[the-aqueeriumischronic]

The look of devastation on Kim's face when he realizes that Kenta is being captured specifically because he came, that Kenta was captured protecting him when he went along to try and make sure he was safe and not alone and now Kenta is alone and captured and Kim cannot let that be because he's seen Kenta in a safe place, seen him comfortable and happy and and he cannot ever let Kenta go back to the way he was when they first met. And that's beautiful because it's everything Kenta deserves, someone to rescue him and someone who not only wants to rescue but also genuinely wants to see him happy, wants to see him relax, wants to see him in all the warm and comfortable places he never had before.

nothing gives me more joy than watching ping's face watching the kimkenta scenes, god bless

[the-aqueeriumischronic]

so, watching some of the pics from the photobook makes me incredibly anxious about what's to come and how i'm gonna handle seeing everyone risking their lives and confronting tony once again.

not to mention, the poster for the final ep ??????

yep, definitely normal.

[the-aqueeriumischronic]

Still cant believe they got this agressive with each other but also it was very much needed. Because I dont think we would have progressed this much without it, the tension kind of resolved, true intentions revealed and of course THE KISS 🏳️‍🌈

I love them your honor

[the-aqueeriumischronic]

Can you care about how I feel, too? Not just Pete all the time?

[the-aqueeriumischronic]

Don’t think about the way Kim’s clothing often matches the tones of his condo.

Especially don’t think about the way his shirt in this scene is a perfect match, piping and all, to the most prominent wall in his home.

DON’T think about how this is the outfit Kim is wearing when he gets captured, and DON’T think about how, when Kenta takes one last look at Kim before leaving…

Kim looks like home.
