Stray Kids Theory Part 11: Double Knot and the key to the yellow Wood
Masterpost . Timeline
After the events of Miroh, we have Double Knot as a way to link the events of Miroh to Yellow Wood. Miroh and Side Effects are clearly linked - Stray kids journey from Miroh to the yellow wood. But what’s missing in this puzzle is the reason why Stray Kids would flee to the Yellow Wood in the first place. At the end of Miroh, didn’t it seem like they were winning against the government? Why would they need to escape?
This is where Double Knot comes in to link the two together.
Imagine that your partner has been hitting you. Yelling at you. You’ve been married for a few years, you’re both in your 30s, you have a little daughter, and everything you do seems to be wrong. You’ve been made fun of, mocked and belittled by your partner.
But you need them, because you can’t take another failed relationship. You can’t be alone again, and they’ve got you convinced that all the beatings and scratches and scrapes are your fault.
You tell your friends and they laugh. No matter how many bruises or cuts you show them, it’s still your fault, so you hide them. You feel trapped, but you don’t feel like you can escape. You’re convinced that you’re just locking yourself in.
And you see online one day an article. Someone else went through what you have. They got the cuts, the bruises, the scratches. You see that here is hope and freedom from these beatings. The physical and emotional pain can go away, there is someone there to help!
So you write down a list of 10 abuse victim hotlines, for people being abused. And you call them one by one.
If you were a man:
6 of those hotlines would refuse to help because of your gender.
3 of those hotlines would refer you to or give you a number to a hotline dealing with people that abuse and are looking to stop.
1 of those hotlines would help.
Out of those 10, 2 of those would also laugh at you or say you deserved it.
If you were a woman:
10 of those hotlines would help.
Abuse is very scary, but what seems scarier to you; being abused, reaching out and getting the help you need, or being abused, reaching out and getting laughed and turned away over 60% of the time because of who you are?
Only 8% of men who call abuse hotlines find them ‘very helpful’ and get the assistance they need.
Women can abuse. Men can be abused. Men need equality and help too.
for the taiwan version of CLE 1 + CLE 2, the members wrote messages in chinese to STAY on the back of their PCs! (will be updated as i find photos of the photocards)
chan: 不要生病!// don’t get sick!
woojin: 心裡有你 // you are in my heart + he also wrote 你 (you) inside of a heart
minho: 晚上吃什么?// what did you eat for dinner? (tn; the phrase more directly means “what’s for dinner” lol)
i’ve said it before i’ll say it again there’s a difference between lady gaga singing born this way in 2011 and taylor swift singing “shade never made anyone less gay” (whatever the fuck that means) to profit off of it in 2019
Since I already brought up my university’s chaplain once today, I thought I’d share with you the best advice he ever gave me.
If someone is suffering and you want to help, instead of saying “let me know if there’s anything I can do,” offer a few options of things you know you can do.
“Can I do your dishes while you study for your exam?”
“Would it help if I came to the waiting room with you?”
“I can distract you if you like.”
When someone’s suffering, making them choose how to be helped can sometimes be an extra burden, especially if they don’t know how serious your offer is. By giving examples, they only need to say yes/no, and they know you wouldn’t offer anything too big for you to handle.
