I know I haven’t talked about this theory in a while but that’s because I didn’t have any ideas. Oof.
ANYWAYS, I think I’ve come up with a solution to Choerry’s double, seen in LCM and in GF.
As I’ve imagined the Colours Theory, there have been two red girls (Haseul and Kim Lip), two blue girls (Jinsoul and Yeojin), but only ONE yellow girl (Hyunjin).
In turn, there are two orange girls (Yeojin and Chuu), two green girls (Haseul and Go Won) and one purple girl (Choerry).
Let’s look quickly at LCM:
In this MV, Haseul is blue and Yeojin is red; given that they become the green and orange girls respectively, we can say that Hyunjin’s out for now. But the scene with Choerry between them mimics the scene with Jinsoul and Kim Lip later on (blue -> purple -> red).
There are two incidences where different red and blue girls combine to form the same purple girl. But what makes this different from the formations of Haseul and Go Won, or Yeojin and Chuu? Why have two Choerries been formed?
I’m... not really sure, but out of the two ideas I had, I’m going with the importance of the colours’ generations:
First generation of primary beings: Hyunjin, Haseul, Jinsoul
Second generation of primary beings: Kim Lip, Yeojin
Chuu and Go Won were made from the first generation, while Yeojin and Haseul were made from a mixture, hence the differences between the counterparts. However, both Choerries were made from a mixture (Haseul & Yeojin, Kim Lip & Jinsoul) which makes them more equal and explains why there are two Choerries: on one side of the mirror is Haseul and Yeojin’s, on the other is Kim Lip and Jinsoul’s.
Furthermore if one Choerry was taken to ODD and the other stayed on Earth, it could explain how Choerry was able to look for the members so quickly: she was in two places at once.
We can also figure out how the other secondary colours were likely made:
First gen:
Chuu(orange) = Haseul(red) + Hyunjin(yellow)
Go Won(green) = Hyunjin(yellow) + Jinsoul(blue)
Second gen:
Haseul(green) = Hyunjin(yellow) + Yeojin(blue)
Yeojin(orange) = Kim Lip(red) + Hyunjin(yellow)
(Also: we’re working on the basis that secondary colours are dependent on their primaries; eg. if a green girl is created but then the yellow girl is out, the green girl temporarily becomes blue.)
This means that there must have been an event between Yeojin having blue and Yeojin having red. But how did this colour change happen?
It’s not the whole story but going to new, we have this scene:
Yves finds a claw machine where all the LOONA members are represented by their animals (“another shape of me found inside of me”), with the lights having the colours of OEC (members associated strongly with colours).
Yves then picks up ‘Yeojin’ and ‘Kim Lip’, and all the claw machine gives her is one apple, which we can interpret as Yeojin and Kim Lip being combined, meaning Yeojin has a piece of Kim Lip’s red due to Yves’ actions.
But why was Yves getting involved with the OEC girls, and what does any of it have to do with the looping LOONAverse...
Three of the four elements are represented in types of hockey; Air hockey (air), field hockey (earth), ice hockey (water). Fire hockey needs to be a thing.
Denji's hypersexuality is a common coping mechanism in SA victims, to try to give the assault a logical meaning of why did it happen, or to get to know the foreign at getting close to the act itself. Genitalia in this case would be representative not only of his lust but also the element reminder of his trauma: "wanting to have tons of sex lead his life to end up miserably", so, the victim blames himself for feeling hurt, accuses himself as the perpetrator of his still ongoing tragedy. The yakuza reminds him of his failure in performing manhood, as Katana Man calls him weak, crybaby, "Chainsaw woman" as kicking his genitals joking to stick them in his behind, and Makima to have twisted his idea of love and taken advantage of his needs, making Denji believe he isn't deserving of forgiveness. At the end it all falls into self-harm, the result of this macabre recipe to make a human to hate every facet of his being: his identity as Denji, as CSM, as a man / his existence: to have born in poverty, orphan, to have killed his father and adoptive family, suggested to perform downgrading gender roles in prostitution (accused woman's job to give men pleasure) / his hopes and dreams for the future, everything is poisoned on his mind. This chapter is about relapse and realization.
Denji is under layers and layers of misconceptions, he is unable to see things through. He thinks his lust is the reason of his tragedy, when he hasn't took an active role in doing anything sexually inappropriate to anyone to get blamed on. He isn't the one to punish for not being strong enough to stood by himself sooner against his abusers and let them have their way, and yet, he still capable to recognize the act is wrong and undeserving (even if he was told through all of his life men should always accept a sex offer and sex = love/joy), ex with Fumiko he inmediatly recognized she assaulted him. So saying sex is his drive in life is utterly wrong, sex isn't Denji's priority and never was actually, and that's something admirable on itself when the world has told him otherwise, because is important to never forget how his happiest was with Aki and Power, putting their friendship above everything else, even above Makima's offers.
I don't think cutting his genitals or even transitioning will fix anything, it would be an impulsive act by trying to escape from the natural progression of the stages of grief and give the instant solution Denji wants so bad right now, where the real cause of his grief is the guilt of the survivor, his self-hatred for having been treated as an object of repulsion and failure through all his life he ended up believing it; to have suffered so much abuse which lead him to see his priorities and identity unclear, amoung other things, seems like it started to click on his mind. This is why Yoru, of all characters, is the one who offers to give Denji "the solution", the character who exists to inflict pain and death on CSM. Also, because he's a hybrid, it will regenerate eventually. It's not gonna happen, probably.
kinich is so cute and i want him so bad but WHY is he WHITE 🤨😭
I made these as a way to compile all the geographical vocabulary that I thought was useful and interesting for writers. Some descriptors share categories, and some are simplified, but for the most part everything is in its proper place. Not all the words are as useable as others, and some might take tricky wording to pull off, but I hope these prove useful to all you writers out there!
