Personal And Fandom

When Venom takes a body, though, he leaves almost full control to the host. The only times when he takes control from Eddie, it’s when they’re being attacked, or else when he’s starving to the point of cannibalizing Eddie’s body, and the entire time he only takes over the parts of the body that he needs at that moment, while leaving Eddie autonomy over the rest of himself.

And it’s not just with Eddie. When we saw Maria bonded to him, she was moving autonomously and was able to call out to Eddie for help. 

And it’s not just that. 

The first time Venom speaks to Eddie, it’s in the bathroom– and Eddie is so freaked out that he launches himself backward and knocks himself unconscious on the bathroom wall. 

After that, Venom doesn’t try to contact him again until he has no other choice, and then only to say “HUNGRY” and “FOOD”, until they’re actively threatened. 

Unlike Riot, Venom shows a lot of respect for the autonomy and sanity of his hosts and leaves him as much autonomy as he can afford.

When White was talking about the impurity of Yellow and Blue and started talking about absorbing colors etc. something in me remembered that I actually learned something like that in school in chemics, so let’s see if this knowledge still is somehow usable (and if I can translate it properly into english too):

So first of all, how is light and color related? 

Light are waves which have different lengths and we as human beings are able to see some of these lengths. If a light would shine for example with a wavelength of 380-440nm directly in our eye, we would see the color purple, a wavelength of 560-580nm would appear to us as light green. You can even “mix” wavelengths and see color, for example 480-490nm and 500-560nm would appear green-blue, 380-750nm(these are all the lengths we are able to see and indentify as colors) would appear white. But that is only how we see colored light, and not things that have this color, because a table can’t just shine light at you. That is where reflection comes in.

There you got a color circle (sorry for the bad quality). A thing can only appear colored when light shines on it (let’s take white light because it is the easiest and most common). White light consists of every wavelength, therefore “has every color in it”. When for example a table appears white that means that white light shines on it and this table reflects all of this light/all wavelengths, so that this still white light can get into our eyes and we see the table as a white table. 

Let’s say now that this table has an other molecule structure and doesn’t reflect all wavelengths, but absorbs a bit. Let’s say this table absorbs the wavelength 440-480nm(blue), but reflects all of the other lengths/colors. Now a light with a wavelenght of 380-440nm and 480-750nm(every color except blue) shines into our eyes, and these wavelengths/colors conveniently mix into the complementary color(the color opposite of blue : yellow)  of the color the table has absorbed. So for the table to appear yellow it has to absorb blue from the white light and reflect every other color. For a chair to appear red it has to absorb dark green, for a gem to appear pink it has to absorb green(or yellow and blue), and for a diamond to appear white it has to absorb nothing and reflect everything.

Still with me? I hope so, because now I get into my original topic:

So what does all of this has to do with Steven Universe?

I wanna talk about the things White Diamond said about Yellow , Blue, Pink and herself.

“Poor Yellow. Her impurity has absorbed all the blue in her light. She’s so strong, but so weak when it comes to blue”

Something can only appear yellow when it absorbs blue. Blue Diamond is the only thing that can get under Yellow Diamonds skin (stones?), this is her weakness, if Yellow wouldn’t let Blue in, she would be perfect, just like White is.

“Oh and Blue. Her impurity has soaked up all of the warmth of her spectrum. She thinks she needs you Pink”

Blue is a cold color, most of the warm colors(yellow, orange, red) are on the opposite of blue, so these are the colors BD absorbs. and even though she got Yellow Diamond, she wants a warm color she can’t absorb, and that is the color pink(or magenta). When you look at the color circle you see that the color pink doesn’t have a wavelenght. That is because we can’t see the color pink when the wavelenght for this color shines into our eyes - we can only see it when something - let’s say a diamond - absorbs the color green(which is more or less a “mix” of yellow and blue). So she needs pink to feel warm again, she’s a color she literally can’t absorb(in the spectrum of light that we see), PD throws her off guard, makes her laugh etc.

“As for me, I’m certain I don’t need you. After all I’m every color of the light. But you’re a part of me, a part I always have to repress”

She’s technically right. She doesn’t need Pink to appear White (she just needs the wavelenghts 380-750nm, purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, red, but not pink), she just has to reflect everything. She doesn’t let any color in, she doesn’t listen to any other opinion and becomes more or less apathetic. But then she becomes “off color”. She understands something, she let’s something in, she absorbs a color she shouldn’t and gets a pink hue (absorbs green(blue and yellow) and gets pink). She gets “imperfect” in her eyes, but that is the only way you can see the errors of your way, when you listen to somebody, when you let someone in.

(That’s why WD hated off colors. Even if nobody was as perfect as her, nobody reflected everything perfectly like her, at least everyone had a “pre-programmed” flaw (YD absorbs blue, BD absorbs warm colors etc.), but off colors were even more flawed, because they absorb colors they shouldn’t.)

MERGE THE LAYER KRONK

dreamworks and disney and etc etc have all been fighting each other to see who can animate the most eyelashes and make fabric swish right in the wind

animation has just become a contest to see who can mimic real life (which kind of defeats the purpose lol)

friend: what are you doing?
