i was definitely not thinking about orpheus and eurydice with this. at all. nope. i was absolutely not writing the first part to get to this like an hour ago. also it only allows 30 pics so the youth stuff is in the first part
returning to my first part of yunho chose to die somehow theory.. what in the (inception to) adrenaline to ash via youth pipeline is going on. and there's more than just yunho.
first thing to point out the broken guitar is a frame (it is one fucking frame) in one of mingi's parts in inception where he has the same scar as he does in youth. and he's craving someone uncontrollably. i know they all have that same theme going through inception but it means different things for each one. mingi and yunho overlap in my head.
all the crashed and burnt cars and then sopro being thrown at us by mother bird in the elevator (i don't think i have enough room to add elevator lore here). i have one guess who's responsible for the car graveyard. that motherfucker is trying, man. he is trying.
honestly i don't understand wtf yeosang is doing but him and san both have some intersecting plot line in birthday and san is the other one on the car here so it's probably something. also san has a birthday/ash thing going too. the sacred lore texts (japanese releases) are onto something with him and yeosang, then him on the car yunho is driving in adrenaline, and then him also in a car crash in ash which i assume is him feeling what yunho is feeling idk. he's a later problem for me.
san opening shot of ash mv // san in the fog pool in birthday
mr. car crash himself is driving (flying?) and bails before san gets there and after yeosang tried to do.. something? he's the only one ever driving that thing. anyway the cars start crashing into the ground which seems to me like the guys are trying to get yunho to fucking stop whatever he's doing the way he bails before san jumps on it.
even the dance battle has him sliding on the ground like he's diving through and kicking out at people who are trying to stop him then it cuts to mingi storming off to go deal with some shit (presumably yunho)
in ash he's crawling out of a burning car and sitting next to it while there's that blue point of light that really screams halazia these days.. and to me, death. i've heard people laugh at the heart crash part bc silly english but if we go with adrenaline causing heart attacks and code blue means someone is crashing (having a heart attack). well. you can make a case there. going into the light. idk. but mingi is real torn up about it bc homeboy is laying in yunho's grave reminiscing
the lyrics, to me, sound like he's trying to follow him no matter what. yunho dies, he dies.
holy fuck bro we gotta get you some therapy
san in birthay // san in ash. that happens. mirroring some yeosang stuff for later.
mingi adrenaline // mingi ash. big motherfucking reference right there. MINGI GOING TO HELL AND BACK FOR HIS BOY
standing around watching in adrenaline // watching the funeral in ash
i love it when he's unhinged. whatever he's doing, he is committed
this part interests me bc we've got center stage yeosang who usually just watches from the side somewhere but the elevator doors close on jongho. both in adrenaline.
but then in ash we have a burnt out stage and jongho standing, looking down from the same spot where captain was when he was bathed in red and said turn this thing up while looking down at us. unfortunately in adrenaline that part was AI generated so it's bullshit but the point is the roof was damaged in that part of adrenaline and now jongho is up there in ash.
and when jongho is way up on that peak in ash in his weird church thing, don't ask me. that elevator took him higher than i've ever been.
then mingi's hand twitches at the end (i checked the ring, it's him) and he's not whatever type of dead yunho is, but yunho is nowhere in sight. in conclusion: orpheus looked back.
anyway. thank you for attending yet another lecture based on the lore found in the sacred texts that are japanese releases.
