Anyway that's all

Long tgs rant incoming sorryyyy

I have been following this comic for what feels like ages even though, when put into perspective, I am kinda new to the fandom. I joined last June and for almost a year now this has been such a huge part of my life. I have made so many friends which I really cherish in this fandom and it has also helped me find myself and my confidence too.

If I hadn’t found this comic I don’t know who I would be today, it’s hard for me to genuinely say how much it has meant to me because I have never interacted with a piece of media which firstly has such a kind and welcoming fandom and also I have seen myself in so much.

My family is from Glasgow and so I got (probably far too) excited when I realised that a character originally from my favourite book was also from Glasgow. It was just a little touch which made all the difference to how I see myself and — furthermore — my accent.

I know that this fandom isn’t going to die out and I really hope it never does.

the obvious one is Enoch who reanimates corpses — Frankenstein. And there is also that dead kid Victor who shares a name with Victor Frankenstein.

Then another obvious one, Millard is the Invisible Man…not much else really needs explaining here he is literally invisible.

I’m not 100% sure on this one but the twins could be Jekyll and Hyde??? Polar opposite twins and all that stuff. Also the different faces under their masks too.

Miss Peregrine herself can manipulate time soooooo Time Machine perhaps i think.

I’m so sorry I can’t remember his name but the kid obsessed with clothes is sort of an example of what was expected to be the ‘Perfect Gentleman’ in victorian times when most of these gothic novels are set.

This one was more challenging I can’t lie lol

Jasper has the main colour of a brownish-yellow (same colour as his coat and his fur in werewolf form).

Linking back to how Lanyon had the most expensive dye — purple — Jasper has the least expensive dye —the brown/yellow. He did’t have a rich upbringing and therefore didn’t have the money to buy too many expensive luxuries such as fancy clothes or dyes.

Also, Jasper is seen as a comforting person yeah? What do you usually think of when imagining ideas of ‘warmth’ or ‘comfort’. Personally, I think of a warm yellowish-brown…sound familiar?

He is always comforting the others characters (e.g. Rachel in both ‘Until the horror goes’ and ‘Pas de Juex’ and also Lanyon — someone that he didn’t know too well — in ‘Saint Henry’) and so his colour palette of a yellowish-brown represents his warm and comforting personality.

And so without further ado…

As for why purple is also linked to the transitional point of the potion (when it changes from red to green it is momentarily purple), I believe that it is because Robert is almost a balance between the ‘two sides of people’ in a way. He is both the example for a ‘Perfect Victorian Gentleman’ and still the rebellious sort, especially in the uni flashbacks. He is the balance between Jekyll and Hyde. Both mentally (previously mentioned rebelliousness alongside perfect gentleman views) and physically as he keeps them balanced in ‘Until the Horror Goes’.

I HAVE A PURPLE ANALYSIS :D

(Currently working on the purple in the potion part so that may end up as a separate post lol)

anyways…

Lanyon’s main colour is purple. Now, purple is usually seen as a royal colour, reserved for higher levels of society to show off their wealth and power to others since purple was an expensive dye to acquire. 

Purple only became Lanyon’s main colour after he married Everly (or at least, we don’t see him wearing it during any flashbacks) which means that this was likely down to the influence of his father. We know that Robert never really liked or cared all that much for high society and so why would his main colour be one usually reserved to show off status and power if he didn’t care too much for it in the first place? Likelihood was that it was his father’s suggestion which he didn’t have the ability to turn down and it ended up sticking with him.

However, green as a colour also largely represents envy. This shows Hyde’s envy for both Jekyll’s freedom — which he craves for himself — and also the envy of Robert. Both Jekyll’s closeness with him after their breakup and the fact that they can’t be together which got passed onto Hyde during the split. 

During the later chapters — ‘Just a Song at Twilight’ onwards once they have Robert back — Hyde doesn’t wear green again. Instead he wears Henry’s red vest rather than his usual green one to show some of that envy towards Robert disappearing once they are back together. (Could just be because Jekyll was in control at the time they got dressed but still)
