#like (again. hypothetically) if the same thing were to happen here ig i just wonder how we would be dealt with

[morgana-pendragon]

can i verbalise a selfish thought for a moment. dont read the tags if thatll bother you or anything

#what with all this talk of colonisation and whose land what is it does make me wonder about what the bigger voices in these convos would #have to say about my country. like im genuinely curious bc idk how to categorise us at all. context bc i dont expect anyone to know: #the indigenous people of the land i live on were the arawaks & lucayans. however when this land was first colonised they were all genocided #and who are now known as 'bahamians' were brought over on ships. and then somehow we went from the spanish to the english who colonised us #as well. now my worry is purely hypothetical bc we are an independent and sovereign state right so there's no 'threat' #but would we be considered 'indigenous' ? i can't think we would?? #but maybe my issue is that i'm looking at this philosophically rather than politically. cause politically we probably would #but while the us-israel-colonisation convo is a political one the stances are philosophical so ?? #like (again. hypothetically) if the same thing were to happen here ig i just wonder how we would be dealt with #and then the land ownership convo as well baffles me & it has for a while. since at least 2020 when the whole 'cottagecore is bad' convo #took place with the arguments that the aesthetic romanticised stolen land and i wondered even then like ? are we in the same position?? #is the land still considered stolen if the people inhabiting it were displaced themselves?? and didn't steal it?? #and moreover if the people it was stolen from no longer exist to take it back?? man idk #im stunningly bad at articulating my own thoughts so if this was a mess im sorry and thanks for making it this far #and also pls tell me if this comes off in the same light as americans making this about their election. i really dont want it to. im just #thinking. i guess idk #stop talking abbie

Slow day at work today, so I indulged in a little game of “can we figure out which Gallavich scenes from the new promo happen in which upcoming episode”. Well, at least it started out as a slow day at work; then it spiraled well into the evening, because apparently this is how I get my kicks. Strap yourself in for some half-assed deductions and semi-educated guesses!

All right, so the burning things scene and Ian’s “all?/aw?” scene might happen in the same episode, because though it’s hard to say for certain, it seems like the clothes Ian and Mickey wear match up. Checkered shirt on Ian, brown jacket – which I don’t think is identical to the brown hoodie? – on Mickey.

Now, watching the promo, I did get the sense that these two moments are connected – perhaps Mickey says he wants to get rid of whatever, Ian wonders if he wants to get rid of all of it, and then they light that fire up. (ETA: I’ve been made aware that Ian might not be saying “all” but “aw” and listening to it again, that seems a distinct possibility, and if so... I still think it’s connected, but I’m less sure how.) I also have a feeling that this might be related to Terry and his secret – they discover something that Mickey decides to destroy – and so this might be from 11x09. Please note that there’s nothing solid at all to this, though; it’s all “sense” and “feeling” and hypothetical in the extreme, and like Debbie’s efforts at making breakfast, I wouldn’t trust it. I went looking for some sort of corroboration, and I found this:

That same checkered shirt appears bundled in Cam’s lap in BTS photos Emma posted on January 21:st (and February 8:th). Filming of 11x08 concluded on January 16:th, as per Shanola’s IG story, so by January 21:st they were well into shooting 11x09 (if we assume, as I think we can, that they were shooting the episode by episode one by one at that time). However, we don’t know that Emma posted the pics on the day they were actually taken and, indeed, the fact that pictures that appear to be from the same day were posted weeks apart suggest that she did not, so this is tenuous at best. But that outfit Frank is wearing does look a lot like what he’s wearing when he’s talking about a heist in the promo, and according to the episode descriptions he’ll be plottting a heist in 11x09. 

So yeah, circumstantial at best, but I think there’s a halfway decent case for the burning things scene and the “all?” scene to appear in 11x09 (even if I still might be dead wrong about how these two moments are connected, and about them having anything to do with Terry – that’s all guesswork and speculation).

Mickey headbutting Lip is easy, and I see that others have already made the connection. We’ve got BTS from 11x10 with Mickey in that very outfit, so it seems highly likely that the Lip vs. Mickey thing will occur in that episode.

As for the heavily anticipated hug, I’ve seen it suggested that it might be from 11x08 since Mickey is sporting a black shirt in the stills from that episode, just as he does when pulled into his husband’s loving arms.

However, in these stills we see him wearing that shirt with camo pants and even though it’s perfectly possible that he changes out of the pants but keeps the shirt, I’d suggest that the outfit better matches what he’s wearing in this BTS video, from when they were shooting 11x11 (as it was posted on the February 20, after they started filming 11x11, but before they started filming 11x12).  

Admittedly, you can’t see it very well, but it looks like he’s got a black shirt on under the jacket and the brown hoodie, as well as light blue jeans (and it would appear that it’s the same outfit he wears in this lovely photo, and that also adds up with what Paris is wearing on the porch). Ian’s hoodie also matches between porch and hug scene, and the fact that their clock has been taken down when they hug suggests they are packing up their room, which is arguably more likely to happen nearer the end of the season. I think there’s a fairly prevalent assumption that they were shooting an episode opening (possibly for 11x12) on the porch in that BTS video, and if so their clothes there don’t necessarily match their outfits for the actual episode they were shooting at the time (i.e. 11x11), but would production really bother putting them in different outfits just for an episode opening rather than simply going with whatever outfits they were already wearing at the time? At least Frank, Debbie, Franny and V are all sporting porch outfits they’ve probably filmed 11x11 scenes in; those pics were uploaded on Shanola’s IG story while they were shooting 11x11. But yeah, take this one with a large grain of salt.

So, that’s what I got, so far. 11x10 I feel is pretty solid; the other two less so. There’s no real point in having this information, but I had fun digging for it, so here we are. XD Make of it what you will, and please feel free to add stuff to support and/or disprove whatever – this wasn’t by an exhaustive digging session, which means I haven’t gone through and double-checked all relevant BTS (for instance, Ian is wearing the checkered shirt in the background of his siblings arguing in another scene from the promo but I haven’t bothered going back to see if I can put a definitive episode to any of the other characters’ outfits). It’s quite possible, or even likely, that I have missed stuff, but I feel done with this game for now so I’ll leave it at this. 

(And what if they just reuse outfits a lot in the last few episodes, Kee? What if they are still block shooting a bit? Well, then I’m fucked, ain’t I, so let’s hope they don’t.)

[RS] PV 2

it’s ya boi back with more commentary. and hopefully fewer screencaps bc i don’t actually have as much time as my wordy and useless rambles as well as the quarantine situation might suggest alas

- who’s talking in the opening line? kela?? if so, the voice is totally off, but the theme of “the world belongs to the strong” is consistent with quotes from him and themes from that whole arc

- i guess this is a dream / unconscious sequence... i’m sad to see him like this. also one of the analyses i read was like you can track when in the movie a scene probably takes place by the progression of the markings on his skin, which is very obvious and i should be paying attention to that more -

^ i really like this visual. and i like how the galaxy eyes designs are all so distinct

^ Alliance soldiers i think, guessing from the uniforms? bc I thought the Eyes had all black uniforms. but i’m not sure. actually it prob makes more sense it’s the Eyes. rip the one guy facing the wrong (?) direction

^ actually these shoes are consistent with Eyes designs i think. nvm. also is that the announcer robot guy?? why is his body so small is that his real body or something??? what’s happening to him rip

^ what the FUCK is with this tattered cloak design?? it was definitely not tattered before? he would definitely look better with just like, a normal cloak, his cloak would never get tattered unless intentional, this is just a really weird and creepy image. then again ig if it’s part of the dream sequence, but this is implying that this is redeye’s actual design, and i don’t like it. tbh s1 redeye outfit with the short cloak was great

^ kiss kiss ki-

hope we see more of jupiter, the city design is tbh quite cool. though i wonder what exactly this Eye thing is supposed to be? is it part of the tower and just always here? 

THE ENEMY’S GATE IS DOWN

flashback scene! but what about? the golden cube or the engine maybe? but i was hoping for something more interesting.

AW FUCKING HELL THIS FUCKER IS BACK.

FUCK.

ARGHHHHH.

ngl im really disappointed that they decided to bring kela back, i think that defeats the narrative significance of an especially significant arc. we’re already done with this antagonist! let’s move on! it isn’t cool or hip or logical to bring back antagonists when their story arcs have come to such a clean end! throw trash away when you’re done! ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i have more to say but i should move on maybe i’ll write another post/rant or something

yo what the fuck is going on here though. i don’t even know what planet that is jesus

wait is this. a hypothetical or like. an actual. planet. 

ok so. WHOMST THE FUCK is this??? another galaxy eyes secretary? or someone higher rank? surely not the head honcho bc if so i will be super disappointed. actually his vibe kind of reminds me of kela. we’ll see i guess, hope he brings something interesting to the table. 

it’s the guy from the poster! ppl say most likely he’s involved with auroras’ backstory somehow. our four major protag backstories all had like mentor figures, so maybe this is auroras’? but following that logic he shouldn’t be here in present day tho, so. 

wonder what the pink smoke is tho, and also why he’s being shot down, and also everything about him :0

but what’s with the shattered... glass? rock? tornado thing around maidang? hmm. and they’re all just watching... and it’s in the arena with that ox man statue 

white eye. in action! 

AAAAA so i got 2/3 right. so weird seeing ox man just walking tho lmao his proportions look wack he’s way skinnier than i expected. 

hey, hey. kela. look at me. 

bitch.

i like this cut. is it significant? who is this galaxy eyes person OH WAIT if the rumor is true that aur was formerly Eyes then he must be story related to this guy somehow... maybe he was sold to medici or something who knows

this was so cool!!! like sanji from one piece. i dig it.

this actually almost looks 3D modeled for some reason haha

wait so is this... the finals of the tournament? 

what. is the context of everything in this set i’m so curious aaaa

is this a) a cool app of diya’s abilities b) the Eyes guy from earlier attacking but what is that supposed to do, capture magically? c) aur/diya (jidi) moment???

... yeah somehow this whole scene looks 3D modeled. maybe it’s the lighting.

fun char designs to look at?

damn those muscles. but yeah i think a lot more markings appeared after this moment in his revival fight

mmmm.

red eyes... and is the stone purple now?? ahh.

also the cut from this to redeye was really cool! their eyes were like overlapped in positions. so cool. i wonder if this was intentional

maidang has gotten so much better at fighting, like, the basics. i dig it. 

emotional but this just reminded me god i miss s1 diya. competent. cool. occasionally sassy. the movie just made her worry about maidang and weak, it’s like her only personality trait. (actually is this shot from the first movie? i don’t remember.)

god the more i think about it the more the jidi agenda feels like a thing. anyway what’s he blowin up hm.

i kind of wish we got backstory on why this is a bee haha but i like how it’s so distinctive

so cool!!!

beat his ass!!!

tUrBUleNce also gudong so worried :( 

:0

cool new power app??? is this her power. i just thought it was but maybe that one shot of her wasn’t her using her power. who knows.

also the cut from this to aur doing basically the same thing..... (adjusts glasses)

see?? the shading looks fake. hhh

AIGHT ok that’s all. actually there were sound/voice/line comments which i will edit in later. 

ok it is later.

- “i just saw the galaxy eyes fleet surrounding jupiter” sounds like tang wude actually! so im excited, that’s reason for him to get back here in time?

- “i already knew the eyes wanted to destroy solar” sounds like medici...?

- “people need heroes, and to become a hero one must pay a price” ok i really like this line it’s super cool, but i can’t say who is or might be saying it. one of the new antagonistic chars possibly?

- “there is a word called ‘miracle’” sounds like medici, as does “the era of new heroes”, though the latter could be someone else

- rest of the lines are all either maidang or diya or gudong

other thoughts:

ppl kept commenting in chinese on the youtube vid like whens the release like it says right there! on the video! in chinese!

still no medici (visually) or shu, huh. 

sound quality for the trailer was wack tbh. hopefully the movie won’t be like that.

i’m a little worried, actually, that this has lost the core of what made it so good. that it’s become cheap. but only time will tell. i’ll still have hope. 

anyway countdown continues let’s goooooooooooo (pls let me be able to watch...)
