It’s the best I also love that we all are kinda on the same page about most things because it makes it so much easier to blab without having to describe 10 pages of context AND we still learn from each other and evolve our perspectives!

a few more shots of relevance

- Greta’s mtv set is pink and orange
- red and white twist straws at bar
- Jodi in a black bandana
- sign that says 306, A8, and I think 11.25

Also think it’s super interesting that the ending of Pt 1 is Taylor kicking out instead of Domnhall which again suggests they are mirroring. Taylor also holds up a number 1 when he hugs and spins her around

been number one but never had 2 (to) but two almost makes *the one*

the dance competition seems to be FOR the old people’s supposed entertainment, yet they do not look entertained and nor does Kam who is literally the only young and 💅 person in the room. I think the old people in midnights blue could represent the executives who she’s been catering to & pleasing

the Opalite “results” showing piles of gold money coins underneath the palm trees really makes me think about the fact that the Dance Competition we see in bejewled is to get the keys to her castle but this Opalite-fueled dance competition is making themselves and the old people lots of money

Totally!! especially that shape! and the Chanel of it all has been a big recurring theme

I was wondering if anyone had ideas about the orbs broadly because nothing is clicking for me lol

all she wants to do is make art 😭

my music app is glitching and now both videos are showing me the Pt 2 content so I need to restart my computer but I’ll be back

Left - a shot of the camera recording the dance sequence shows an 8:11

Right - full pic of the dance competition room emphasizes that this is very likely set in a nursing home/elder care facility and there is a 2 rating number on the table by Kam’s seat (in the mv they all rate them zero)

The kitchen BTS shot shows an apple on the plate and a tiny little chicken timer. 🐔🍎 there’s ofc tons of that recurring teal color and the rest just feels like normal staging props (ie tea and flour canisters)

(what did I say about being chicken/cock-y?!)

a couple things on this shot of the Nopalite next to the Opalite -

MY BEST FRIEND and Friendship Rocks are repeated again

One of the origami fortune tellers says LOVE and ENDS

the box Opalite is shipped in has Red and Blue repeated parallelogram shapes 🤨🇺🇸

multiple shots that seem to really highlight her hands/nails so I think she wants us to pay attention to that extremely specific nail polish because it’s not 1989 blue, mint, nor emerald. It’s something kinda like a greener teal but more… swamp like? 🙃

this is the closest color I could find online

side note this also reminded me of this day when they attended a Yankees game together. they frequently mirror each other, supporting the theory that Travis is a stand in for some of her personas/identities
