Ok, look. Looklooklooklooklook.

Im feeling dense af and you wanna know why? I have read mth at LEAST 10 times start to finish. And I never noticed the parallel between the scene where Brick rejects Blossom and his dream about Blossom until today???

Like???

??????????

Like obviously I knew the dream is his subconscious desire taking over to the point where he doesn't realize it's a dream, and desperately wanting to be with her but in a passive way. But it's not just his desire for her and his general regret, it's also his desperate wish for a do-over of that specific first conversation. Where instead of having a "talk" with him saying he can't be with her, she makes the choice for him and he gets to surrender to it. I'm not really sure how to word it but the fact that he finished dream!Blossom's sentence with "To talk" really seals it for me. Like there could've been other ways to end that sentence, but he chose those specific words, kind of steering the dream back to that conversation in a choose your own adventure kinda way? And they are the only words he says in the entire dream that actually align with his thoughts - the only honest ones (the only other line he says out loud is in direct contrast with his thoughts). At the party, Brick says he wanted to talk to Blossom but doesn't know what he would even say to her. Our "mature" dumbass just really wants "to talk" and get an alternate ending where they close the distance. But he has no idea how to get that through his own volition and agency.

I have no doubt that a bunch of other ppl saw this years ago, but it's making me emotional and I had to get it out

(edited a bit for clarity)

Ugh I saw this post with a quote that just screamed Reds to me but I lost it 😭

MTH meta - The Gifts That Keep on Giving (me feelings)

There has been a lot of gift giving in the past few chapters, between the Girls' birthday, Christmas, and the Boy's "birthday".

I used today as my free hyperfocus day and got 4 pages done. So I have now finished, scanned, and edited 81 pages of the storyboard.

I think I will post an updated video when I get to page 90 or maybe at the end of the 1st chorus? I'm hoping to finish that much by the time summer term starts but with less than 2 weeks, and my therapy homework of only working on it 2 hours a day, I'm not sure I'll make it in time (´-﹏-`；)

As much as I enjoy drawing the Reds, drawing Brick in pain is satisfying somehow

My therapy homework for the next 2 weeks is to only work on the amv for 2 hours a day, with 1 day a week to hyperfocus to my heart's content.

Yes, you heard right folx! My hyperfixation on mth necessitates an intervention from my therapist to make sure I actually do others things ಥ‿ಥ

So have some Reds while I pout cuz I didn't have time to scan it before my timer went off

65 pages done, and finally into the first chorus. Have some sketchy dream!Reds ❤️

To me this song is basically if Brick's frustrated subconscious could write a hazy song addressed to his conscious mind. Like a "wow, me, you really fucked up huh? Let's wallow" song. Especially the second verse:

"You met a girl,/ she likes you./ You're not sure.

She lets you in/ and looks at you/ with eyes so pure.

But you can't get out of your head/ and what you think is left unsaid/ cuz you're scared of hurting her heart.

You just know it was doomed from the start.

It just goes to show that all you know/ is how to be alone.

Well it's hard to love/ wrapped in chains.

Now you're back to square one/ in your cage."
