#it’s fucking sepia

[ladyamanda123]

You guys….my head just EXPLODED

🤯🤯🤯

Okay bare with me here because my thoughts are literally chaos right now! Going to try and take you through the ninja katana that just happened to my brain!

1. Everyone has been focusing on this album being white. Taylor wore a white dress, Taylor used the 🤍, etc etc

This has been bothering my photographer mind since I very first saw the cover. That cover is not black and white. That cover is Sepia.

Rep is Black and white…..Folklore as well (though more muted and grey than stark black and white like Rep)

Poets is Sepia!

Now obviously there is no Sepia heart emoji so it could be that simple BUT Taylor is a mastermind and she doesn’t do accidents. The Sepia toned album cover is not white and that immediately drew attention to it when everyone is focused on the white aspects (which also lended itself nicely to the Rep TV/Poets bait and switch)

2. So I decided to go learn about the history of Sepia and quickly came across this very interesting article. I started reading. Immediately aspects of this colours history started setting off lightbulbs 💡

Sepia comes from the Cuttlefish’s defence mechanism. When under attack the cuttlefish releases a cloud of ink to distract the predator and make a swift (SWIFT!!) escape!?!?

Already we have the ink tie in specifically mentioning jet black (like the octopus and squid) but the cuttlefish’s defender cloud is sepia……this album is a defence mechanism so she can distract the predators (hetlors/the press) to make her escape to safety. It’s the bait and switch. The distraction. The decoy.

This was already enough to have my jaw on the floor…but wait! There’s more!

3. Sepia’s use in photography…

This love story began in black and white…in Reputation.

🎶I once believed love would be black and white….but it’s golden (Daylight)

This cover photo is very clearly Daylight after the long and tortured Midnight….now she only sees Daylight!

Sepia has come to represent a by-gone age….

Everyone thinks that Kaylor is over and done. Just an ended friendship, a burned bridge, no longer relevant…but the act of making that relationship look old was actually used to preserve that love and allow it to be long lasting!

There’s also the very obvious photography connection with the Polaroids significance to Kaylor.

Also note the nod to 1920s….along with the Clara Bow track pointed at that era here’s another possible link to the roaring 20s

Another link to Daylight coming after Midnight…the opening of the Karma music video shows the Midnights album which turns into a golden sunlight over the golden Taylor statue. Midnight to Daylight.

So as if all of this wasn’t already enough I kept reading and the next paragraph made me scream…..

The Wizard of FUCKING OZ you guys!!!!

(Side note that we have the Blake/Taylor Dorothy and Ariel combo call back here as well! Worth noting maybe Daddy I Love Him will shed some light on this Halloween Party…we know our 🎃 anon wanted us focusing on Halloween! Maybe this evening was significant in the story!)

So everyone thinks of it as black and white but it’s actually Sepia…..yes yes go on…..

So you’re telling me to create the illusion (🎶All eyes on me your illusionist) of sepia to colour they were using a body double. A double! A bait and switch! A stand in! Like every single beard relationship and every single Karlie stand in we have been seeing lately! Blake at Beyonces premiere….Keleigh at the Golden Globes, Keleigh as the bride, etc etc etc.

Slight of hand, more illusions and bait and switch imagery to make the art work and the magic happen.

Holy Shit!!!

I need to go pass out now!

"Let's go to Sugar's tonight!"

for once felt inspired to draw an environment? and tried adding scraps and texture. Idk if this is maybe the back entrance or if this is really the vibe I think Dan Fuck's establishment looks like, I just really wanted to do the neon sign!

Edit: was no one gonna tell me the spelling is " sugah's " ...

Light is the language of photography, the soul of the world. There is no light without shadow, just as there is no happiness without pain.

Carriages decorated in flowers celebrating “Juneteenth” (June 19, 1913)

Since 1865, June 19th has been the annual Day of Jubilee marking the end of slavery in America. While the official date was marked with the enactment of the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, the news was not heard in Texas until June 19, 1865. Celebrations broke out spontaneously and the day became a yearly event.

Hwaet, Let me get this straight. As of the Hazbin Hotel s1 finale:

-Its been revealed that angels' own weapons ("angelic steel") are the only thing capable of harming or killing them

-Lilith is a twist villain/new threat

-Alastor, hell's most infamous torturer and also a 1930s radio host, has likely been working for Lilith the whole time but nobody rly knows what their goals are

-Eve may or may not be aNOTHER twist villain, with some kind of root/plant theme

-Alastor has an army of black-eyed cannibal demons led by a pretty lady named "Rosie" who can be rallied into open combat against heaven by a combination of song, charisma, 1930s razzle-dazzle and the promise of absolute carnage

-Adam is literally just some scrawny white dude with floofy hair, he loves classic rock and REALLY hates Hell

-Adam died by being impaled, from behind, through the mid-back, with a shortblade

-Adam is, very possibly, now IN hell, and the fandom finds this both amazing and hysterical

-Lucifer named his daughter "Charlotte"

-She's an absolute blonde fluffy sparkle cinnamon roll

....okay then, awesome, great finale guys, 1000/10, see you in a few months

#only shocking thing was Lucifer being a good dad/kind of a good guy for once #hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel finale #*slow clap* i am so fucking confused #how is “the black-eyed demon eternal 1930s showtune sepia tone hell dimension ft. Rosie and Alastor” even a CONCEPT

I really spent my adolescence thinking everyone around me was ridiculous for letting their emotions control them when they had a crush on someone. In my mind, crushes weren't really that big of a deal, so acting all flustered and silly was clearly just people being self-indulgent.

And here I am now, absolutely head-over-heels for a girl. Turns out folks were not exaggerating how intense these feelings are! I was just looking in the wrong place for them.

#i've been dating her for a bit now #and literally i am becoming such a fucking sap #going to ask her to be my gf soon i think #but holy shit people were not lying about how all-consuming these types of feelings are #it's like i've been living in a sepia-toned world #and suddenly i'm in technicolor #and getting cutesy little love songs stuck in my head

flashbacks to dialogue that happened less than a minute ago are annoying and a little insulting for obvious reasons, unless it's in bad buddy episode 5 [2/4] and pat is having entirely serious sepia toned flashbacks to fifty seconds ago while almost shoving a set of drumsticks he hasn't even paid for yet up his nose. then it's brilliant and world changing

#don't mind me i'm just chewing glass today #when the architecture band starts playing at freshy day and ink says to pat hey isn't that the song you two played that christmas? #it's like yeah... but that's a maddeningly casual way to refer to an event that in the context of the series wide metaphor #is really more like their parents caught them making out in a closet. and then pran got sent to boarding school over it #and NOW pran is up there on stage playing that same song again. looking right at pat when he announces it. but plaYING IT with WAI #and not intentionally. not in a mean sort of way. because pran doesn't know #he doesn't KNOW that pat's been shoving drumsticks up his nose while being struck cold by Love Signs #because how could he. all he knows is that very recently pat was sighing in relief that pran isn't his rival for ink. because pat likes ink #pran does NOT know that in the (very short. more than fifty seconds but still very short) meantime #pat has tried to figure out if ink might like him back. pat has in the process accidentally figured out that HE might like pran #AND pat has tried to confess his feelings to ink only for her to go. very kindly. are you sure you like me that way? i don't think you do #(because he's the wrONG SIBLING. she likes the OTHER SIBLING. which is hilarious but a different thing to go insane over) #and it's like. pran doesn't know!!! pran is just having a day like any other. pran has Known forever #he doesn't KNOW that when they're standing there surrounded by guitars (it's essentially a gay bar. don't even get me started) #(because that's a joke but it's also not. not really. it is but it's not. you know) #!! that when they're standing there surrounded by guitars. pat is suddenly going OH. in sepia toned flashbacks to fifty seconds ago #when they were ALSO standing there surrounded by guitars btw. which is the point. nothing has changed but maybe everything has #it's the same thing it was fifty seconds ago but maybe it's not. maybe pat suddenly hears the music that's been playing forever #and maybe this is way too many fucking tags. i don't even think this is the glass i was chewing originally #* #bad buddy #bad buddy the series

A little more on Sepia….

Came across this little gem in Atticus’s book LVOE. I know some people suspect Atticus could be Taylor which makes it impossible for me to read without an eye of suspicion. When this one came up I definitely wanted to share. Also note it’s from page 85…..good old Taylor math….8+5=13

TTPD could definitely end up being a happy-sad look backward
