Anonymous asked: (seeing as we're on random question answering hour YAY) so I noticed you seem to use lilac as a recurrent colour theme for Reigen, which is awesome because it's my fav colour and I don't see it around very often; any reason to that?
oh! hehe kinda pleased you picked up on that, because
a) I really like lilac too
b) when Reigen gets his ‘own’ aura in ep12 it largely seems to be of the lilac-magenta spectrum, albeit with some rainbow variance
c) I was looking up stuff about auras for a different character a while back (hey remember Justin Case u guys) and indigo/purple has connotations of not only intuitive wisdom and clear mindedness, but also of spirituality- it can be seen as the 6th layer of an aura which is supposedly the ‘angelic’ body of an aura- which I think fits Reigen pretty well!
d) not even related to the character so much as mp100 on the whole but the association I grew up with was that lilac is worn as a symbol of recent death and has ghostly connotations, so symbolically speaking I feel it always has an edge of melancholy and the supernatural to it, I don’t know if that’s just a UK/Europe/me thing or what though…
e) I just really like the colour ok it’s pretty

Anonymous asked: Mod I feel like I'm bothering you but can we please have some encouragement from a U.K. buddy? I'm so scared right now and I don't even know if I'll make it through tonight, I just wanna collapse and never face anything ever again
I just woke up and got the news, I don’t know what to say, so what I say shouldn’t really be taken as any sort of authority but if you’re feeling anything like the shock and dismay I felt when I knew about Brexit going through (or, indeed, that I still feel and that I’m feeling right now with this morning’s news), please know that that feeling makes you human. It is not a good feeling, at all, but it is a sign of your goodness. Unfortunately, being good is a lot more difficult than being horrible- but for all that we have to cling onto it. You are worried and scared witless because you are aware and compassionate and you care about what is going to happen- not just to you, in the immediate moment, but to everyone in the world for many years into the future.
This is a Big Thing. It is Bad. It is a huge weight to have to hold and it hurts when you do. If you need to collapse, for a little while, that’s completely understandable and you can take a day or two out to do so safely and with people you love. Collapse together; stay in contact with friends and hold onto each other, and hold on to that ability to care because we are all, all of us, going to have fight tooth and nail to keep that humanity and that goodness and do everything and anything we can to fix this. We have to ride out this shockwave and remember what we are and what we mean, and, when we have been collapsed together for long enough to gather strength, we have to accept our responsibility and use that strength to stand up, regardless of what is pushing down on us. We have to stand up.
it’s not easy being green
