Apocalypse Now

I’ve never made a post about it, but hoo boy, tons of really important scenes had either red or blue lighting.

My absolute FAVORITE of which being Stan and Ford’s fight, 30 odd years ago:

The lights are clashing, just like the Stans.

But as the fight starts to end, they move away from the red light into predominantly blue light, although the red is still present.

And when Ford’s gone, there’s no red light left at all. Stan, as well as the blue lighting, are alone.

I’m too sugar crashed to tell the difference between red and blue lightings’ specific (respective) meanings throughout the series, but they both represent a problem. I never made a post about this scene because I was always trying to think of which Stan each color could represent, but now it’s so OBVIOUS. The blue and red lighting don’t represent people, they represent conflict. That even matches up with other Stans-less scenes with color lighting throughout the series.

For the show to end on purple lighting, the coming together of red and blue lighting, right after the two clashing brothers came together….

Grunkle Stanta Claus is here to bring Dipper and Mabel some awesome not-stolen, totally legally attained gifts

(Stan took Ford’s shoes in order to pull that outfit off, which is why he’s not wearing any. and Dipper has absolutely no holiday themed clothes whatsoever because he only has like three outfits)

(Mabel made Ford’s sweater and the lights do, in fact, glow. he was very impressed by this)
