Sexy DJ! Alright Then 😏😏😏🤣🤣🤣

I think my entire existence was created and kept on going until now solely to witness these very two hours

Carmen Sandiego and Color

So let’s appreciate the absolutely Legendary™ use of Color Symbolism in Netflix’s Carmen Sandiego:

V.I.L.E’s Iconic Color is green– all the villains wear green, the lair is green, the uniforms are green, etc. 

When Carmen rebels against them, she obviously starts wearing her iconic red– which is green’s complement, its “opposite” on the color wheel. This shows that Carmen has become the “opposite” of V.I.L.E. 

Scenes where V.I.L.E has a lot of power/influence are often tinted green, scenes where Carmen has power/influence will often be tinted red.

VILE in San Francisco:

Carmen in San Francisco:

Julia Argent, the ACME agent who believes Carmen is a good person, wears a bright red shirt that the other agents do not wear.

This ties into the series’ theme of “don’t be fooled by initial appearances.” Green is the color we usually associate with goodness, while red is the color we usually associate with danger/villains. But in this show, the colors’ meanings are flipped.

 Green means danger, and red means safety.

And again, this isn’t just in the costumes!!  

Contrast these scenes where Carmen is nervous on V.I.L.E island:

And can’t relax Because V.I.L.E:

With this scene where Carmen feels confident and free:

The dialogue in the “Carmen finally relaxes” scene is cute too:

Player: Red? Carmen: Yes, it is. I may finally be unwinding.

Because scenes where Carmen is at peace, or confident and in power, tend to be tinted red (or pink/reddish-violet.)

Scenes where Carmen and co. are frightened, losing, trapped, or in terrible danger will be tinted green.

HOW TO SPOIL THE SHOW FOR YOURSELF:

If a fight scene in this show is red, things will probably go well for Carmen. But if the fight scene is green, things will probably go badly.

The battle Carmen loses against Paperstar:

The one that she wins:

The Indonesia episode is very green, because the Stakes Are High and Carmen seems to be losing:

 but after Carmen wins RED FIREWORKS GO OFF, lighting everything red:

Also: Tigress was an idiot for choosing to battle Carmen on the Golden Gate Bridge, bc it’s the reddest place in San Francisco, meaning that it’s where Carmen’s POWER IS GREATEST

Tigress shoulda gone to New York and battled her on the Statue of Liberty instead, that’s a guaranteed victory right there

And in Carmen’s worst failure in the season, her red coat is even torn off, so that the shot is completely green:

But then she escapes and look who’s back?? RED

ANOTHER ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOMENTS:

Before Carmen steals the VILE data thing, everything is green:

But the moment she successfully steals it, RED ALARMS START GOING OFF:

Like “heck yeah La Femme Rouge is finally here!!!!”

And (major spoilers ahead!) what I find most interesting is this Red™ scene:

The scene where Carmen fails her pickpocketing test, ruining her chances of becoming a V.I.L.E operative. 

When you watch it for the first time you see it as a failure. The blood-red sky is there to show us that Carmen is in serious danger, and her life is about to be ruined.

But when you rEWATCH THE SHOW WHILE PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE COLOR SYMBOLISM (as ya do) you realize it’s the opposite. This is the moment that saves Carmen– that sets her on the path to becoming “The Red Rogue.” 

And I might do another post on this but like– it’s so cool how red is used in Shadowsan’s scenes in general!!! Most V.I.L.E people’s scenes are all green, but Shadowsan’s scenes are often red, to hint that he’s secretly sympathetic to Carmen.

See you initially think he’s grabbing the sword to kill Carmen, but when you rewatch it, you realize he’s going to sabotage the VILE’s helicopter and rescue her! He was on her side all along, and the Color Symbolism knew it!

TL; DR:

As Carmen says in “The Sticky Rice Caper:”

“Green bad……red good.”

What To Do If A Tumblr User Appears to Be Considering Attempting Or Is Going To Attempt Suicide

The first thing you want to do is report the blog to Tumblr staff.

 You can alert the Tumblr staff by sending them a quick email explaining the situation. It is critical that in your email you include a link to the user’s blog, since this way they can easily identify the user in question and contact them. But you shouldn’t solely depend on the Tumblr staff unless you have to, since there is only so much the staff can do. 

Check to see if there is any way of contacting someone the user knows in real life.

 If there is anyone that this user interacts with in real life (a good friend, a relative they have a positive relationship with, a colleague they have from work, etc.) that knows them and you can get in touch with (whether through Tumblr messages, email, etc, it doesn’t matter) it is essential that you contact them. Tell them that you believe the user in question is likely to attempt or is attempting to commit suicide.

 If you aren’t sure how to find someone the user interacts with in real life, see *.

Continue to message the aforementioned person.

 Once you’ve managed contact with the person that the user interacts with in real life and warned them that the user in question is likely to attempt or is attempting to commit suicide, stay in contact with them. It is important to tell them that they should call a suicide prevention hotline number if the user is considering suicide (1-800-273-8255 is the national suicide prevention hotline number if they live in the U.S, if they don’t click here for a vital list of all suicide hotlines for different countries (if there is no suicide prevention hotline for the user’s country see **) and tell them instead that they should go straight to calling an emergency number if the user is in immediate danger (911 if they live in the United States, and click here for a list of the emergency numbers for other countries if they live outside the U.S). What a lot of people don’t realize about most suicide prevention hotlines is that it isn’t just for people who are considering suicide, it’s also for people who believe someone they know is considering attempting and/or is going to attempt to commit suicide. Once the person has made contact with the hotline, professionals will handle the situation from that point forward. DON’T CONTINUE TO MESSAGE THE PERSON ONCE THEY’VE MADE IT CLEAR THEY WILL CALL OR ARE CALLING THE NUMBER. Wait for them to get back to you. I understand how worrisome it can be to wait to receive information on whether or not someone you follow and care about is okay, but you have to let the person do what they can to save the suicidal user without interruption.

* How to find people that could help the user.

Make a post on your blog(s) about the user, explaining the situation in the post. It’s important to also explain that you’re looking for people who know this user in real life and you can get in contact with to figure out a way to help prevent them from committing suicide. Also include a link back to this current post you’re reading so that other people can be informed and help you take action. It is vital that you get your post to circulate so that more people will see it. The more people that see the post, the greater the chance there is that you will be able to locate someone who can do something in real life to save the user. You can help the post circulate by tagging popular blogs you know that would be willing to reblog your post and bring attention to their own followers. Eventually, you’ll hopefully find someone who knows the user in real life. If you don’t, double check to make sure that you informed Tumblr staff of the situation and send the user all the love that you can and pray that they turn out okay, they could really use it at the moment.

** What you should do if the only available numbers are for immediate danger, but the user in question is only considering committing suicide.

 In this situation it is important that you make sure you don’t lose contact with the person that knows the user. You need to help inform them so that they know how to correctly approach the user about suicide. Send them a link to this site (the site link is http://www.bethe1to.com/bethe1to-steps-evidence/ for a quick copy and paste) should this scenario occur. This site is extremely useful for informing a person on how to approach someone they believe is considering committing suicide. It would be helpful to consider giving the site a visit for yourself, as it could come in handy should you ever have to confront someone you think is suicidal.

______________________

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

In case you aren’t sure what happens when you call a suicide hotline, visit: https://www.healthyplace.com/suicide/suicide-hotline-what-happens-when-you-call. This way you can better understand what happens when the person you’re contacting makes the call for the user, or should you need to make a call yourself.

Furthermore, a question you might ask is “Why do I need to contact someone the user knows in real life instead of confronting them online myself if they’re only suicidal and in no immediate danger”? Well, websites and social media platforms will only ever be text on a screen, at some point you have to realize that. So confronting the user over the internet through said text isn’t going to be nearly as effective or sure of a method as someone they know personally sitting down with them and discussing it with them in real life. It is encouraged to send the user some love and support online if they are suicidal, but it’s more important to make sure someone they know assists them in getting the help they need.

This will never not be funny…

Thank you Sense8 for creating this amazing Cluster. 

“I am also a we.” 

Otabek must be the only person (except his grandpa)that made Yurio smile

So. If you’re ever confused, think of sexualities like this:

In a classroom, the majority of students use pencils. These represent straight people.

Some people, however, prefer pens over pencils. For the purpose of this metaphor, the students who use pens represent gay people.

Some students will use both pens and pencils, but often prefer one over the other, hence being bisexual. See what I’m getting at here?

Some people will use any writing utensil, these people being pansexuals.

Some people will use two types of writing utensils (but not both pens and pencils), and these people are referred to as polysexual.

Often some people will prefer one type of writing utensil, but only use it once someone gives it to them, so they are demisexual.

Some people will sometimes use a writing utensil, but at other times will not use anything. These people are gray-asexual.

Asexuals just don’t write. They instead sit in the corner baking cakes, as they don’t feel the need to write anything down.

Boom.

Both
