not people on reddit saying episode 5 of tlou was better than episode 3 because episode 3 was too “sentimental” while episode 5 captured the brutality of the game as though a huge part of what made episode 3 great wasn’t the fact that it was an unexpected spot of beauty and tenderness and love in the middle of an otherwise bleak story the same way bill and frank’s town was an oasis of peace and comfort in a harsh world

#to be clear this is not at all a universally held reddit opinion but i’m shocked by how many people are saying episode 5 is better than 3 #i thought episode 5 was like….. good but not anything groundbreaking no pun intended #also the tonal contrast between the two episodes was very intentional #the despair of ep5 wouldn’t hit as hard without the sweetness of ep3 and vice versa #i think some people are still just looking to see their favorite moments from the game brought to life #and that’s fine but as a non-game player i don’t have that same attachment to things like the bloater or the sniper nest #it admittedly doesn’t help that while i knew things ended badly for sam and henry #i didn’t know exactly what happened until it was spoiled for me only hours before the episode came out #so i spent the whole episode just waiting for it to happen and didn’t get to be shocked by it #the last of us

no because rewatching bad buddy ep5 after so long is such an experience. i remember every single thing i felt and thought while watching it for the first time. the way my heart raced during the countdown. the excitement i felt when the promo pics came out. the theories. the scream i let out when the Rooftop Kiss™ happened.... it really was a moment in history. every day i regret not filming myself while watching it because i knew something big was coming aghhhh

#finished watching vice versa ep3 and i just felt the need to come back to bad buddy as you do #ep5 you will always be famous #one of the best thai bl episodes in history? yes. #bad buddy #nanon korapat #ohm pawat #ohmnanon #patpran

I wouldn't consider myself a analysist, because I'm not big brained nor have good enough memory for that; but like (and this may be my bias speaking) double life changed life!Pearl so much in the way it just amplified her already existing traits. She's very sheep in a wolf's clothing to me especially after dl made her even more disenchanted with the inherent isolation of later life sessions (what w/ being forced into that by day one of dl, immediately distrusted at a level only just barely below reds themselves). Like I could be getting the characterazation completely wrong, as I don't remember the seasons very well, but Pearl's playstyle very much feels like she's just capitalizing on her "hidden" chaos, being the kindest ally but also down to be unhinged when the moment calls for it, losing that kindness so fast in double life from being rejected and never getting it back nearly as strong as before. I feel like life!Pearl has gotten so use to the games and Watcher schennagins at this point that she just leans hard into the premise and her innate chaos <2 (can you tell she's my favourite character lol /silly)

Post-DL!Pearl I love her especially! Do I think she’s even more chaotic than she was in DL? No but for sure DL changed her like Whwhwh permanently she’s my fave winner bc of how prevalent that development is, to make those choices on her terms - not bc the game tells her to. Her POVs are very refreshing bc -in compare to everyone else- she’s so relaxed (bc she’s won before), and she makes it clear she’s not here to win (she already has)- she wants to have fun and uplift her friends :]

Her around ppl that aren’t her teammates is… a wildcard- but the trust in her allies is unshakeable. she reminds me of a mentor figure to them she wants what’s best for the team…. I don’t like the way ppl have been undermining the Mounders this season bc they aren’t attached at the hip 24/7, to Pearl they mean a lot to her SHE chose them and vice versa. so much that they’ll mutually go do things behind the other’s back that would help them survive in the long run and she trusts them with her LIFE. This especially between Pearl and Bdubs and their allyship makes me so delirious evrrytime she brings him up I’m getting Nosy Neighbours deja vu :[

“They’re Mounders (Joel and Bdubs), they would never betray me like that.” -Pearl ep6

“You can’t just TAKE him (Bdubs), he’s a Mounder.” -Pearl ep5 in the building competition

[the whole thing with Joel and Bdubs wasting their yellow-life guesses for Pearl ep6]

“I’m not here to win. I here for Bdubs to win.” -Pearl ep6

“I can’t. I can’t… she’s (Pearl) my biggest cheerleader. I can’t do that do her.” -Bdubs ep6

That part in SL Session 6 when Pearl, her dogs, and Bdubs hid in the skeleton farm away from the Wither/Warden fight, and when a red name (Martyn) found them- I wonder if she was ever scared the game would take Bdubs too like it did to BigB last season… I mean it already took Mumbo.

#ask stufff #stufff rambles #pearlescentmoon #bdubs #secret life spoilers #sorry. word vomit from last session and the whole slew of secret live tweeting #id say also that postDL Pearl and Grian are similar in regards to how they play (for fun) #the big difference is that clearly one is more competitive than the other #thus is represented much differently as much as I wish that fun-side of grian should be brought up more

Nature & Setting in KinnPorsche

Natural environments have been lacking for the majority of KinnPorsche. I’d argue that this only makes the wide open spaces in Ep6 that much more impactful. This also draws attention to a few specific scenes highlighting the symbolic contrasts between the natural and the superficial.

Eps 1-5 have emphasized industrialization (in the sense that most scenes occur in interior settings with a metallic/mechanized appearance) and neon colorization/lighting. I don’t want to say there’s been a total absence of naturalization, as we have been privy to some beautiful nature shots in these episodes, but these have all been superseded by the industrial aspects. This has, overall, led to an emphasis on darkness over lightness. For example:

It goes without saying that nature often symbolizes purity while industrialization represents corruption. There are a variety of potential meanings, but nature is typically associated with peace, strength, freedom, and independence. Conversely, industrialization has more negative connotations of greed and, as I said before, corruption. 

None of this to say that nature is inherently good and industrialization is inherently evil. I don’t think the show is making a particularly strong case either way, but I do think there is some compelling evidence that leans into these cultural associations between nature/purity and non-nature/corruption. We’ve seen already that the mafia is corruptive; it strips away the core of a person and replaces them with a cold, oppressive shell. As Ep6 Kinn states while in the forest, “Being here, I got nothing on my shoulders. [...] It’s like I can be myself once again.” Unsurprisingly, the mafia’s strength is depicted visually through material possessions: their clothing, their accommodations, and--of course--their money. Case in point: the mafia falls under this industrial umbrella. The way they present themselves reflects a close connection to high class society. Perhaps society is the special word here, as it seems to offer--at least to me--the most distinct contrast to nature. The mafia is shady and undercover, but their roots are planted firmly in the heart of society. That is precisely why Ep6 is such a breath of fresh air.

It comes as no surprise to me that Kinn and Porsche’s deepest, most open conversations have taken place in natural spaces. Which got me thinking...how have more natural spaces been used in previous episodes (and vice versa with more enclosed spaces)? What is their purpose? I immediately thought of one specific scene. 

Pool Chess (Ep5)

I’ll call this shot a mix of these two extremes. It’s intentionally deceptive in that it depicts an expanse of clear water and trees, but there are buildings caging it in on all sides. This deception fits well with the scene itself, particularly with Korn’s manipulation of Kinn. He presents himself as open, calm, and well-intentioned, but we sense something sinister in the exchange (or at least, I do). His words are very precise, targeting Kinn for his feelings for Porsche, but they’re never outright malicious. We can see from Kinn’s reaction that he’s deeply affected by Korn’s semi-lecture, but Korn doesn’t yell or snap at him at any point. Bringing it back to the setting, I think it reflects how we--the audience--are intended to view this scene. At first glance, we see the blue water and green trees and are lured into a sense of false security. But upon closer inspection, we see all the buildings crowding in, looming over the characters. Korn specifically relates to this setting--initially pleasant, but clearly shady. *As a side note, we also see an outdoor conversation between Korn and Porsche in Ep5 that could be interpreted similarly. 

And now for some contrasting examples.

Flashbacks (Ep5)

To start: Porsche’s bathroom flashbacks in Ep5. I’ve talked about this scene specifically in this post, but I want to look specifically at the setting. Porsche is in an enclosed space. There’s limited lighting save for a golden light; if I’m remembering correctly, gold has been interpreted by others in the tag as the mafia’s color. That makes sense as Porsche feels cornered by memories. Again, I won’t spend too much time on this scene besides to point out how the setting pairs with the content. 

Porsche experiences similar flashbacks later in the episode.

Again with the gold. We see an enclosed space with spare lighting. The audience knows Porsche is in a bad place here because of Kinn, but we must remember that Porsche’s involvement with Kinn is all related to the mafia. Everything connects to the mafia to some degree, which seems to be the point: the mafia infects everyone. We know that from the plot, but also from the subtleties of the setting. 

Am I getting too off base? I mean, why even bother pointing all of this out? First and foremost, I think these scenes demonstrate the attentiveness of the show runners. But I’m attracted to the contrast they offer, specifically with Ep6. I mentioned it earlier in this post, but all of Kinn and Porsche’s most meaningful, raw conversations occur in open spaces. In turn, they experience their lowest moments in crowded, dark spaces. It all relates to the interwoven threads of nature and industrialization. 

Like here, we see Kinn and Porsche sitting beside the water in a wide open space. Unlike the Pool Chess scene, the lights and signs of civilization are in the distance--not oppressively close and crowding. This, to me, represents the beginnings of their openness with each other. They can still sense the oppressiveness of their situation, but it’s easy enough to ignore. Ep6 is where we truly see this openness between them, because civilization/industrialization is no where in sight.

I’m interested to see what the show will continue to do with setting in the future.

A common Thai superstition is that a virgin lady can prevent rains for the day by sticking lemongrass upside down into the soil under an open sky. This ritual is called ปักตะไคร้ bpàk dtà-krái).

FOR THE HIGHLIGHT if it indeed does not rain then the one who performs it is a true virgin. (Now is this scene supposed to mean something?😂)
