I really love that Japan color codes its ties, especially in My Personal Weatherman.
Because I would know Mizuki is a Blue Boy without the ties
Since even his cell phone cover is blue
But it just makes it easier to see that Yoh is the Green Guy
Living in a Blue Boy's home
With his green cell phone
Yet it's just not the Blue's Boy house
Because Yoh's green is mixed in with blue in the pillows on the couch and items around the house
And the carpet
So he doesn't only have his Green Gal on his side
(because she likes Mizuki also, so really she's on both of their sides)
But Yoh also has Mizuki, who is always there for him
And tries to give Yoh his love color
Mizuki has always tried to be there for his Green Guy with his green backpack
And I'm pretty sure Mizuki thought his love was clear when Yoh agreed to live with him and let Mizuki take care of him since Yoh was wearing his color with green surrounding them
And Yoh wore both of their colors after Mizuki took care of him when he was sad about losing his job
But, honestly, their communication sucks, so it makes sense that they communicate best through body language
And ties
So hopefully Yoh can see that Mizuki is his dedicated, loyal, and honest Blue Boy
And he loves Yoh dearly.

My Personal Weatherman had the strangest color exchange yet because Mizuki is a Blue Boy and Yoh is a Green Guy,
But after thinking Yoh ran away resulting in Mizuki tying him up, voilà, we got a color exchange.
How do I process this knowledge that Yoh feels Mizuki's love the most when tied up?
And Mizuki feels the most love for Yoh when he is basically taking him prisoner?
Instead, I'm just gonna focus on all the ways the colors popped up this episode like the little blue (and red) over Yoh's heart for Mizuki, and the laundry poles being green and blue.
Yoh also wearing blue with a little umbrella (for Mizuki) over his heart.
That Mizuki's character is in blue, and the cover has blue and green on it.
Yoh's notebook having green and blue circles, and his green pencil case.
Yoh's Green Gal wearing blue because she sees Mizuki's side.
Mizuku's comforter being blue.
The laundry being blue and green.
The rug being green.
Yoh's sweater having green accents.
And Mizuki's cardigan being blue.
Yoh buying drinks with green and blue labels and carrying them in a green bag.
Only for Mizuki to grab the one with the blue label.
And, of course, the tie!

Hello!!! How're you?? Hope you're well!! I'm currently having Munson family feelings lmao
Please imagine lil pre teen Eddie settling in with Wayne, finding his footing, becoming more open in a way that he wasn't with his father. And he's really getting into his dnd. Has the manuals Wayne got him for his birthday one year. A mini or two. And he wants to get better at DMing, but he can't practice with his group because that would ruin the surprise of it all. So one day, he shyly asks Wayne if he'll practice with him. Fidgeting with the hem of his shirt and shuffling his feet. Isn't 100% sure what Wayne will think just yet
And to his surprise, Wayne says yes. And Eddie just... lights up. Smiles a big megawatt grin and starts talking about how it'll be super fun uncle Wayne you won't regret it!!!
They spend an evening making Wayne a character - a human called Wayne, they're keeping it simple - while they eat Mac n cheese for dinner. Wayne loves how happy it makes Eddie. How carefree.
And on Wayne's next day off, when Eddie doesn't have school, they play together. A mini campaign, just for the two of them. Eddie practices his skills, gets to play dnd, and hang out with his uncle all in one go. It's kind of everything to them. It's a lighthearted adventure where Wayne goes on a quest to get the perfect bait so he can go fishing and catch his dream fish. Eddie tells him what dice to roll, helps him fight a goblin and a bear, and puts on all sorts of voices for the characters Wayne meets. Eddie gets so wrapped up in it all, so excited. But when it ends he's all nerves - bitten lips and wringing his hands.
Did Wayne like it?? Did he have fun?? Was Eddie good??
And Wayne honestly says it wasn't quite his thing but he had a lot of fun. Eddie is a damn fine storyteller, has a real knack for the dramatics. He'll impress his friends, for sure.
And idk!!! I love Eddie and Wayne exploring their dynamic and figuring out where they stand with each other those first few years. It would have been a bumpy ride but they love each other!!!
Wayne getting in from grocery shopping on a Saturday, he likes to go really early so he can avoid Sally Knowles town gossip extraordinaire who Kees letting Wayne know ‘people are gonna talk if you don’t give that nephew of yours a Mothering presence in his life’ Wayne’s heard enough of it. So while it means he has to get up early, he’ll do it to escape the song and dance of busy bodies.
He’s making his way up the trailer steps, bags of groceries in hand (he’s a one trip kind of man and won’t be changed) when he hears a voice behind the door. The muffled and rushed but excited voice of his nephew barely audible through the rustling of groceries and the clattering of god knows what in the trailer - ‘okay. Okay he’s here. Go time. Show time. Time to shine. Story telling powers on.’
Wayne can see Eddie in his minds eye, turning an invisible switch at his temple. A ritual he started for their very first session. The boy had been nervous then and now, four - games? Chapters? Wayne wasn’t sure - in the nerves were still there but the excitement far outweighed them.
Opening the door, Wayne flicked his eyes over to the couch were Eddie was propped up, books spread out on the coffee table and rudimentary map laid across the table top.
Eddie’s head shot up, ‘I’ll help!’, scrambling to his feet to take some of Wayne’s provisions off of him.
‘You in a rush, son? Normally I’m shouting you through to give me a hand with these?’ Wayne was teasing. Could see that Eddie was conflicted, had Wayne forgotten that he promised to finish the story today? That it was going to find the Pond Of Dreams? Wayne loved the kid but he wanted to have a little fun too.
Setting the bags down and putting the freezer items away, everything else could wait. Not even glancing down at Eddie, Wayne stretched tall and exaggerated ‘think I need a nap after that. Don’t mind me Ed, gonna get some shut eye.’ And the thing is he couldn’t look at Eddie, if he did he’d crumble and it would all be for naught. One glance of Eddie in his home sewn cape and it’s be over.
So he hot footed it to the bathroom, hoping Eddie wouldn’t question the pre-nap detour or the backpack he was taking with him.
He could hear Eddie mumbling, frustration and disappointment evident in his tone. Then the tv going on, cartoons on high volume as he tried to distract himself. Which is when Wayne decided to re-appear, clad in his full fishing gear and rod. Along side a toy lizard he velcroed to his shoulder.
‘Well boy, you ready to go fantasy fishing? Heard there’s a dream pond waiting to be found’ Wayne tipped his fishing hat like a cowboy as Eddie’s eyes grew wide, scanning the outfit. It wasn’t much but Wayne tried to add the little details as he could; the potion belt of healing (an ammo belt he borrowed from somebody at work), the spear character wayne earned in his first battle (a pvc tube Scott Clarke was happy to provide after their last dinner where Wayne recounted Eddie’s tales) and of course -
‘Is that Creedence?!’ Eddie finally speaking up and pointing at the lizard, the decided companion and helper to Wayne in his journey.
‘Sure is kid, think he’s ready to roll. The question is, are you?’ It’s not the easiest thing for Wayne to do, sometimes he feels silly with all the fantasy and character voices that Eddie insists upon but when it makes the boy this happy? This unguarded and free? Who is Wayne to say no? Maybe the sillyness is good for him, good for both of them.
