Tony(rushing in): Stephen! Are you okay? 

Stephen: Why? 

Tony: Well, I heard someone the Sanctum was attacked and someone got hurt, and I thought it could be you. I just… 

Stephen: No, it was Wong….Wait. (smiles) You came down here ‘cause you were worried about me. 

Tony:.…No, I didn’t. 

Stephen(grins): ‘Cause you still care about me…

Tony:…Uh-uh. 

Stephen: So, I still have a shot with you…!

Tony: No. No, you don’t…! I mean, okay, I don’t know….(Stephen continues to grin) Stephen, stop staring at me or I’ll kick you. 

“I can still help!!!!”

Can we talk about the lighting and color choices for Senior de la Cruz? Okay thanks.

The first time we see de la Cruz, he’s wearing a bold blue suit and his skin has a very peachy orange tone to it—similar to a lot of the cempasúchil (marigolds) and candle-lit imagery early on in the movie.

And his blue suit blends in with the background, emphasizing his face. Disney plays no games. Ernesto is the center of attention for Miguel and also the audience, as expected from a famous Mexican icon.

Then we see him in a sort of blue-purple hue through Miguel’s television. Yes, the fact that it’s coming from a tv influences the color but I think it does much more.

Instead of seeing Ernesto’s extravaganza we see a sentimental, heartfelt, passionate side to him. At this point in the movie, Miguel holds his passion quietly to himself, perhaps feeling a bit blue that music—something so integral to him—was forbidden.

This shift in color shows that. As we see de la Cruz’ shift from a loud performance to soft moment of muse, so do the colors.

Music is all of Ernesto’s being. In the tv he’s all one color. Such a nice parallel.

Then Ernesto meets his “great great grandson” Miguel. This scene is filled with pinks and purples and feels heartwarming, mystical, and even surreal.

No doubt, this leads us directly to a train of Miguel’s emotion. He not only met one-on-one with his idol, but now Ernesto knows of his existence! And to top it all off, Santa Cecilia’s little musician Miguel is related to the best singer of Mexican history, and even welcomed by him. Very surreal indeed.

Then the color switches back to peachy, yellow-oranges. This is very similar to the first colors we saw Ernesto estrenar (show(?)) in his performance of “Remember Me.” (This ⇩)

Interesting that this color choice looks like flesh, given that he is a skeleton. Though deceased, de la Cruz is alive in Miguel’s memories and experiences.

At this point he’s still a friendly great great grandma, giving Miguel sound advice and inspiration.

Remember the pinks and purples from their first encounter?

Well now they’re back, but juxtaposed with greens and teals—something on the opposite side of the color wheel, more or less.

It’s almost as if Ernesto’s kindness is about to be side-to-side with an opposing plot scene.

We spoke to soon. The pink warmth that Ernesto first gave off is mostly gone now.

It is replaced almost entirely with saturated greens and purples. The intense color choice reminds me of something magical and evil… kind of like the Princess and the Frog.

And as the movie ends, Ernesto is in blue lighting, sort of like the television.

Obadiah: I never had a taste for this sorta thing, but I must admit, I’m deeply enjoying the suit.

So, I’m in college right? And I met this guy super sweet and everything. He was practically perfect in my opinion. Had a job and he respected me in a way that no other guy had done. I really did like him. And he liked me too.

Just yesterday, he told me that we couldn’t be anything more than friends. After weeks of him treating me like a girlfriend, he says no to the relationship and blames his parents, saying that his parents will cut off his college fund if he started a relationship so soon at the start of college.

I understand that, I get it. Did it hurt? Absolutely. But I couldn’t control this. So we decided to remain friends. I’m fine with that.

Turns out, he had a girl in his dorm while I was busy studying in my dorm last night. His own roommate had tattled on him after checking on me if I was okay. Do I wish that I stormed I’m there and caught them both red handed? Yes, but what would that do? What would I say? I’m not his girlfriend, I have no right to him or anything.

Still. He lied to me. All of those weeks we spent time together was a lie and he doesn’t know that I know about him and the girl. I’ve been fucked over so many times and idk what to do with this information. I was single for three years and the moment a great guy comes along, I get fucked over even after telling me he won’t. After I told him the amount of times I got fucked over and how much they hurt.

And every time he looks at me with a smile and I used to blush when he did that. I used to get the warm feeling. Now I look at him and I don’t blush, I get the feeling of disappointment, anger, and sadness instead of happiness. I look at him and think of the word liar.

And it sucks because as much as I want to hate him. I don’t. I’m not a mean person.

And I know this is just some dumb thing but I really need to get off my chest because it hurts. A lot.

Like bitch??? Do you really have to ask that??? What do you think, you a-hole??

But I didn’t tell him that. I’m nice. So, I told him I was okay. That I was great and very happy.

After that, we stopped talking. It was awkward yet at the same time it wasn’t, you know? We were both waiting in line for our sandwiches so we couldn’t say much.

When he left, he patted my shoulder in an affectionate way that wasn’t meant to be friendly. He did it the way he used to.

And then I angrily stabbed my sandwich with a fork. 🤷

So, I’m using his chair as a footstool. 🤷

I honestly miss him though. A lot.

I had just finished my shower and was back in my dorm when I got hungry all of a sudden. Really hungry. And I don’t have any snacks with me and he told me that if I ever wanted snacks to tell him, even if we’re not together.

So, I decided “screw feelings, I’m hungry” and I messaged him through IG.

I know, I suck.

Anyway, I was waiting for him and mind you, I had just finished my shower and I was wearing shorts that were hiding under a long shirt. Point is, I didn’t think of this until it was too late. 

So, I was waiting when I heard my door trying to get opened. My roommate isn’t with me today for some reason so I knew I had the dorm to myself. Now, I thought I had my keys with me INSIDE the room but turns out I left them outside on the door knob. 

I REALLY hope he doesn’t think I left them out there on purpose. 

He saw me and gave me a smile and I couldn’t help it. The word liar was running through my head but the smile on my face was genuine. 

I know, I know. Hold up there’s more. Don't shake your heads just yet

HE GIVES ME A HUG. 

I REPEAT  HE GIVES ME A HUG  

and hands me the snacks too. I place them on my desk and thank him and as he was about to leave. 

I stopped him. 

You can start shaking your heads now, I know.   

Little side story: I completely shattered my phone and it won’t turn on. At all. 

So, I told him this and well here’s the dialogue:

Him: No way?!

Me: Yeah, it completely done. 

Him: *steps insides my room!!! and goes over to my drawer by my bed where my sad broken phone is at* How did this happen? 

Me: *follows him in* It slipped out of my hand and fell face down, completely shattering the whole thing. 

Him: *looks at me* How are you messaging your mom then? 

(I have a protective mother who messages me constantly) 

Me: *looks at him* She gave me her phone for the moment until I get a new one. She’s using my little sister’s. 

Our faces were SO close. 

Like when your OTP is so close to kissing but because the writers suck sometimes they don’t because one moves away or they both move away from each other and you’re just like “WHY?!?” 

Like that. 

Only, we both moved away from each other.  

I sat on my bed and because I’m 5′0ft, my feet and legs were dangling. He gives me a look over, takes one step forward closer to me and then takes another step back and I noticed that he looked slightly uncomfortable, I don’t know why he was uncomfortable but I instantly felt bad when I noticed he was because that wasn’t my intention at all. 

I just wanted food. 

He started walking to my door to leave (for real this time) and I followed him out because I was taught that way so I was used to it. He turned around and told me …. 

Him: So you’re telling me this so I know to message you on IG? 

Me: *internally thinking “You’re not going to message me at all” 

Me: *out loud* Yeah, so people won’t think that I got hit by a car again or think that I’m ignoring them. 

he smiles that same stupid smile that I like. 

then tells me that he’ll see me tomorrow morning. 

ummmm???

Excuse Me??? 

So I asked him “Tomorrow?” and he gave me a look that meant that I should know. he said “Breakfast?” 

me being me I said “Oh yeah” 

then he proceeded to tell me he might be going with the guys because he thinks I’ll be going with this other guy to breakfast. 

The other guy kind of freaks me out though, He told me today that I should wear shorts more often and does these other creepy things too, like he pinches my cheeks after I told him to stop many times and that It makes me uncomfortable. It’s kind of giving me anxiety about it. I don’t want to go to breakfast with the creepy guy but I also don’t want to go to breakfast with my ex(?). Can I even call him that? 

Anyway, at this point I might even just go with my ex because if I go by myself the creepy guy will make sure he sits with me. So no. 

then he smiled and left and I feel like he really wanted to leave the room for a couple of reasons, I don’t know anymore. 

either: 

A) He’s uncomfortable because he still likes me and doesn’t want to make the mistake of kissing me. 

B) He has the other girl in his dorm waiting for him (more likely solution) 

C) He was just uncomfortable and didn’t want to deal with his ex. 

I don’t know. 

Now, I’m just debating whether to go with him to breakfast or not.

Tony: Then we’ll get divorced, and I’m taking Peter!

Tony: *breathes*
