Love is neither a finite nor countable thing like slices of pizza. Love is like the ability to make pizzas, it’s infinite and unquantifiable and lasts forever.
What are the chances that Joe was “blue” because of her? And that he has color back in his face too because he’s no longer with her? Because I just have this sense that she is an unreliable narrator based on the 10 different reasons she has given for the breakup and none of them include her taking accountability for her role in beating that man down due to her behaviour.
Well, let's see! There are NO mentions of him being "blue" on Rep. None!
Like if Joe is just naturally predisposed to be anxious and depressed you'd think she would have noticed it immediately, so he wasn't broken and blue from day 1.
Joe is not like this naturally. He was a "killer" and "cool" back then. Took her a couple of years to break her favourite toy. So, he was introverted yes, but not blue.
The Joe is "blue" references appear later on Lover. "I'm with you even if it makes me blue" (Paper Rings; Lover), "We're so sad, we paint the town blue" ( Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince Lover), "I blew things out of proportion, now you're blue" & "It's so excruciating to see you low" (Afterglow) "But I'm a fire, and I'll keep your brittle heart warm if your cascade ocean wave blues come" (Peace; Folklore), "Don't want no other shade of blue but you" (Hoax; Folklore), "Is it really your anxiety that stops you from giving me everything or do you just not want to?" (Renegade; written after Evermore) "Soldier down on that icy ground Looked up at me with honor and truth Broken and blue, so I called off the troops That was the night I nearly lost you" (The Great War)
Lover was apparently done by Feb 2019 and released Aug 2019, Folklore was July 2020, and Renegade was being written maybe December 2020.
So the broken and blue Joe wasn't a thing before 2018. Suspicious huh 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
It took her a couple of years to break her favourite toy and the themes of Joe being "blue" and accusing him of cheating came in.
So, 4 years of mindfuckery and abuse assuming the first 2 years were decent enough… 🙄
Also, funny how the boy who was brave enough to fly to the US all alone with a backpack (they literally had to buy him clothes) and charm Ang Lee and Yorgos back in 2015 to give him roles is now all anxious and insecure. Suspicious huh 🙄🙄🙄 Yeah Joe, where the anxiety at back in 2015? 🙄 This is not something an anxious boy could handle.. 🙄
Almost like someone made him feel he wasn't good enough or successful enough… 🙄🙄🙄

here is a blog post that helped me (it's about sexual attraction but it resonated with me about romantic attraction too)
I get this isn't a very satisfying conclusion, but hopefully this helps someone😅also to add on, it's totally ok not to have a label or change as you figure out more about yourself! I think realizing I could be comfortable and happy being aro/ace really helped me decide
It seems a little peek into Donnie's naming convention is in order.
B = Bomb
The first two digits ("01") designate what TYPE of bomb it is.
The second two digits ("02") describe the strength level.
So for example, the one below is a "B06-01." Different bomb type, but at maximum strength level.
Donnie has such a wide array of shields, bombs, and other ninpo built tools at his disposal that it actually became necessary for Leo to learn the codes. Otherwise his orders would go something like this:
"Donnie! We need a bomb!"
"What kind of bomb?"
"The big one that you used to take down the Krang ship last month!"
"I took down multiple ships last month."
"The one that looks like a big drill!"
"Ah yes that one."
"But like... smaller."
"...Can you define that in killitons?"
"NO. NO KILLITONS. NOTHING THAT BIG. Just... SMALLER!"
"....HOW MUCH SMALLER?"
"Like... twice as small??"
"...You mean half as large."
"You know what I mean--!"
And then Leo dies because it took too long for Donnie to figure out how big of a bomb to send. The end.
