ALRIGHT BREAKDOWN TIME In the beginning, it looks like blue is going on a date with lilac. While he’s waiting for her to show up, she accidentally startles him by appearing from behind. For a split second before we see her, Lavender’s hair silhouette appears. This is likely refrencing what happened in “don’t touch it” where she was watching him change from behind. Anyway, after he sees her, she introduces him to her daughter Magenta, who she brought along with her. Blue is cool with her coming with them goes about the date as normal Once they get their food, Magenta turns to lilac and calls him a “hoarder of quarters”, which “hoarder” kind of sounds like something else (yknow what I mean) likely referring to his reputation after what happened with red. Or she could just be saying she gets bad vibes from this guy. Lilac tells Magenta to cut it out, and how that’s rude. Blue decides to take a picture of the date, but Lilac goes pale and tells him not too. We learn later because her ex recorded them being “together”. But not knowing this, blue assumes he did something wrong, and gets those little devil horns and broken heart glasses. He feels like he is taking advantage of her. Side note: people keep thinking that heart blue is hypersexual blue, but I think heart blue is what blue sees himself as after what happened with red. He *thinks* that he’s just this shallow horny guy who takes advantage of women, and that he’s this horrible person. He gets the same horns on his face when HR was talking to him about what happened with red in “Sweet little bumble bee”. But I think the heart glasses and the pink shirt symbolize him trying to appear docile and “not actually all that bad” to everyone else, while the devil horns are what he *actually* feels inside. Anyway, it cuts to her talking to Pink about her ex. This is when she mentions he recorded them together, then threatened to unalive himself if she left him. Pink can relate to the struggles of having a bad partner, so she takes the moment to basically say “men bad”. I’m not sure what the next symbol means, but it could be her referring to lilac and blue relationship. Blue overhears this, and starts wondering if he was just as bad as her ex, since that ex took advantage of Lilac. In his mind, the image of himself becomes corrupted, and looks a lot more like what actual hypersexual blue’s design is. (Tho I’m not 100% sure on this) Later, hr is talking abt him being a horny guy again, which bothers him a lot. At the same time, Lilac is asking if he and Pink had any sort of relationship going on. Some people interpreted this as her asking if they had been intimate, but if that was the case there would be a little fire behind them. He denies ever being with her of course, but he is obviously lying. In the next scene, blue is just staring at Lilac longingly while Pink is angry that he isn’t giving her attention. She tries to force him towards her, but he keeps looking right at Lilac. Lilac gets mixed signals about this though, and isn’t sure what to make of it. She probably thinks Blue is trying to make her jealous (tho I don’t have much evidence to support this) Next, I think blue is trying to ask her out on another date, but Lilac isn’t quite sure how she feels about blue yet, and she needs time to think about it. Blue immediately take that rejection hard and starts thinking of himself as a bad person again. These next few shots show the progression of blue relationship with Lilac over the course of the other animation memes. The in beats in between them are blue and lilac texting each other. The first one is Blue and Pink starting their relationship. Lilac suddenly gets a call from her ex, and blue and pink look sympathetic toward her. Then it’s Lavender, Lilac, and Blue in “Dont touch it” when Lavender spoils blue to gain his trust. Suddenly Lavender gets a call, about what I’m not sure. It might have to do something with Magenta and this little red kid in a wheel chair, but I don’t know who this kid is, so I can’t say much to that. Whoever they are, Lilac seems to know them, and is worried about them. Lilac is focusing on this kid instead of Purple, so she takes out her anger on blue. Afterwards is blue trying to escape all the rumours surrounding red and him, but it’s getting increasingly more frustrating. Later, it looks like Lilac finally agreed to that second date. She tells blue how it would be nice if he got her flowers, since a couple next to them had some nice ones. But blue doesn’t quite understand why she’d want them. I saw someone say this happens because due to blue’s trauma, he isn’t quite sure what to expect from a relationship. Sometime afterwards, Blue is lying on his bed and on the phone with her. His mind keeps wandering and thinking about her in more suggestive ways, which he keeps trying to ignore. When he’s back at work, he’s looking at a picture he took of her when she was asleep. Which in itself there isn’t anything wrong with that, it’s quite cute actually. But because of Lilacs trauma of being recorded without her consent, she really isn’t a fan of how he took that. Later, she’s on the phone with someone, and talking about her relationship expectations. She wants to get married and grow old with someone. In the next shot, on blues phone we can see some messages to her that he sent. What I think he’s asking is “Hey what time do you get off work? Do you have to take care of the “red child” afterwards?” This will come back later closer to the end of the meme. Pink is also sitting on his lap in this, showing further how he was lying about him and pink being together earlier. Lilac starts texting blue again, and he’s asking her if she likes him yet. She says she still needs time to sort out her feelings, but Blue is getting impatient. This seems to be after blue texted her earlier about hanging out after work. They are simply cuddling on the couch, but blue interprets this as her possibly wanting to do more. Which he feels extremely conflicted about since there’s a child in the room. The little devil horns show up again as he thinks how he is being a bad person again for thinking she means this. He picks up his phone and basically texts her how he isn’t looking for something long term, and how he doesn’t see her romantically as much as he sees her sexually. She says “Oh, I’ll try again” which I think means she try again with someone else I also noticed that during the meme, after certain moments Blues heart glasses would get bigger and bigger cracks in them. I think this symbolizes that “sweet and not so bad” persona slowly cracking to reveal what he’s actually feeling. ANYWAY GREAT ANIMATION MEME I COULD WATCH YOUR ART FOREVER. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK ❤
I think the symbol at 0:36 is two people holding hands with the female symbol on it, and it’s meant to represent Pink saying stuff like “us women have to stick together.” She’s being sympathetic towards Lilac’s abuse and acknowledging abuse but ignoring the fact that men can be victims.
1:17 he got so used to people wanting him sexually that he thinks a simple cuddle is an indication of it. he even feels guilty cause there's a baby in front of them, that's so messed up..
@@Ichigo_the2nd it's not even a might. It's confirmed that until he opens up and gets help that he will not be able to have a fully healthy relationship with this woman that doesn't want to hurt him unlike the other terrible women that have!
I feel like this is about how Bluey and Lilac try to have a relationship but because of the constant accusations that Blue receives he has insecurities every moment he spends with Lilac, any thought he has about her he is going to feel like it is WRONG but apparently Lilac doesn't like having her photos taken because of her ex-partner...? that's what I understood
Throughout the video her ex seems rather like.. possessive? Like, in a way where he's still trying to get in contact with her. So I guess if he were to find out that her and Blue were yk cuddling, hanging out, I think she fears something will turn out horrible for both parties?
It seems like Blue is self sabotaging himself a lot in future relationships because of his past experiences and it’s so heartbreaking :' ( also doesnt help that lilac and pink seem to be close
I read the content warning and goodness, it seems as if Lilac’s ex took unwanted pictures of her and now Blue also took some of her sleeping which prompted her to tell him off about that- he also seems quite guilty when he thinks he is overstepping a boundary.
Probably because they seem to be outside, in a restaurant or mall maybe, and in "Look dont touch it" Lavender was with him in a mall or something like that, he probably remember it. (SORRY IF THERES BAD INGLISH)
Uhhhhh maybe because Lavender invades his personal space most of the time??? idk hsafhbsdjdfwejsigf Like she's kinda comfortable with choking him so aggressively
This is so good, amazing job! Here's my interpretation of it: I can see how much Blue's painting himself to be the bad guy in his mind, it looks like he thinks this is how other people are seeing him too, which is really sad. I think that Lilac is trying to start something genuine with him and that he's pushing her away, but also starting to mimic some behaviors he went through. I think he's rushing the relationship with Lilac a little and misunderstanding his own feelings. She also previously mentioned that she wasn't comfortable with photos because of what someone (possibly a previous partner) had done when drunk and he had a photo of her on his phone, meaning he's struggling with boundaries. As soon as she showed interest in him, he immediately pushed her away. He also seemed very uncomfortable with showing affection in front of Magenta for some reason, probably to avoid accidentally traumatizing Magenta. The glasses breaking is like him trying to look through rose colored glasses but it keeps getting harder. He then mentions he doesn't feel romantic attraction towards her and it's only sexual, which is probably a trauma response because of Red's constant harassment and the way he's repeatedly seen other people treat him only sexually. I'm sure I missed a lot and misunderstood some things, but that's my interpretation. I feel really bad for Blue, it's really sad how much trauma can change a person, he barely ever looked at himself as anything other than an evil person or something for other people to pursue. I really hope to see him be happy at some point, it would be nice to see him heal from all this :D
Oo! Yes, and maybe the daughter doesn't like blue because ge shows some characteristics of her mom's ex, and blue has a heavy rush of anxiety about precieved rejection. (sorry if I didn't word things like I woke up at 0:44 am lol)
Yeah,it also seems like Lilac's ex was also forcing Lilac to stay with him in a way. Threatening to hurt himself if Lilac tried to leave the situation. It looks like her ex also had problems with alcohol and drinking. (What I interpreted)
Her ex probably did too extreme to the point even she's uncomfortable having photos when having a memorable time When talking to pink, lilac mentioned that her husband records or watches her on the phone. It probably has something bad because the intercourse sign is there
I think lilac ex was recording her doing disgusting things that she didn't wanted to do then he started abusing her then she ran away That is actually depressing that's why she wanted to commite suicide but she didn't I feel bad for her..
1:10 AUHGHGHGHHH THE NEW MARKS ON HIS NECK ARE FROM PURPLE GRABBING HIM BY THE NECK LIKE 5 SECONDS EARLIER. SHOWING HOW EVERY TOUCH FROM AN ABUSER WILL LEAVE AN UNCHANGING MARK ON THEM AAUHGHGHHHH VIC YOU GENIUS
Nice observation!! I also noticed that the marks on Blue’s arm kinda look like scratch marks, like when an animal scratches you. I don’t know if this was intentional or not, but thoughts it was worth mentioning.
That small moment of lilac and pink seemingly having solidarity over sharing the experience of an absuive husband made my heart turn. It makes me sad thinking in another time, a better one. Where pink was healthier
It also made me realise pink is also human with flaws, before i just saw her as a monster for what she did but after seeing that it made me realise shes also a person who can make mistakes and unhealthy decisions (doesnt mean its okay but it doesnt mean she’s an evil irredeemable momster) Its crazy to see these characters act so human its so well written
I’m terrible at analysing stuff but i wanted to give it a shot. What I’m interpreting from this video is that Blue and Lilac may have just started dating. At 0:31 we see them on a date and Blue wants to take a picture to commemorate the moment, only for Lilac to get scared and refuse. I personally feel like Blue’s immediate reaction was like a mix of rejection and shame for messing up somehow. At 0:35 Lilac is explaining to pink that her Ex was extremely abusive, recording her during their intercourse and I believe threatening suicide if she leaves or doesn’t return. In response pink agrees that men are evil, probably going off her own experiences of abuse with her husband. 0:37 Blue overhears the way they talk about Lilac’s Ex with his lustful desire and playboy attitude and wonders if he is similar to him based on his own SA experiences & responses. I think this is reinforced by the fact at 0:39 his coworkers are discussing rumours of him being lustful, however blue is angry about this because he knows he was assaulted (Even if I think he is battling with this truth himself). 0:41 Lilac asks blue if he and pink were ever in a relationship or intimate which he denies (and is a lie). 0:44 blue is watching Lilac work, because he likes her, and it causes Pink to become frustrated/jealous that he is not paying attention to her anymore and she tries to force his attention but Blue seems completely fixated on Lilac. This drama kind of freaks Lilac out and she ends up struggling with the feelings she has for Blue. (Maybe she believes blue was lying about not being intimate with Pink). 0:50 Lilac asks for time to figure out her affections towards him because she is confused. Blue deals with the rejection. 0:53 Starts the montage of their past, while Blue and Pink are starting to like each other Lilac is dealing with her Ex’s abuse which they both notice and worry about. 0:59 Shows Lavender, Lilac and Blue shopping. Lilac’s phone rings again, based on her reaction, I think she believes it’s her ex, though it could be something to do with her children. At 1:00 We see that her son is disabled and may need extra attention from her. In the next scene we see her focused on her son’s discomfort and accidentally ignore Purple. Purple takes her anger about this out on blue who at this point has dealt with his assault from Pink and it frightens him. At 1:05 Blue had also been assulted by Red and is dealing with the rumours spreading that he led her on and was intimate with her. People believe he is lustful. This really represents the internal bias many people have to viewing women as victims. Red was very obvious with her assault but people still viewed Blue as the bad guy. At 1:08 Lilac sees a couple with flowers and thinks it would be cute if Blue got her some, which blue questions, asking why she would want flowers. I think this is to show that he is disconnected from normal dating expectations. Idk if this could also relate to Magenta calling Blue a cheapskate at the beginning At 1:10 Blue and Lilac are seemingly having a normal conversation on the phone but blue is struggling with fantasies of them being intimate, which he tries to ignore. (He doesn’t want to think sexually of her all the time). At 1:13 Lilac catches Blue going against her boundary of no pictures by taking one of her whilst she is asleep. This is so sad to me because I think Blue is just dealing with his emotions for her. Maybe having photos makes it feel like the relationship is more real to him but as a victim of abuse himself this was a horrible thing to Lilac. It shows that he is not faultless for any mistrust in their relationship. The next scene had me a little confused, I’m not sure who Lilac is talking to (I think blue) but she seems to be discussing thoughts of getting married and growing old with someone. (Either that or she talking to her parents?) Should be good news for Blue :D 1:15 Shows blue trying to check in on Lilac, asking what time shes finishing work and if her son is doing ok when boom! In comes pink trying to distract him with work that she pretends she is incapable of doing. 😒 At 1:17 Blue asks again if Lilac likes him but she responds that she needs more time and he pulled a 😐, So i’m guessing he is unhappy and wants her to be decisive instead of leading him on. Finally we see Lilac and blue on a couch and i believe Lilac wants to cuddle. Blue can’t handle this, trauma has made his body react sexually to any physical affection/advancement and I think he is kind of horrified that he is reacting this way in front of a child. I think blue genuinely likes Lilac a lot but he starts to believe that he only wants her body based on his reactions. He starts to think he IS lustful and so he covers his shame with a pillow and lets her know through text. He doesn’t want to get married, he doesn’t want a relationship, he just wants sex (which she may not be ready for due to her past relationship) and Lilac is disappointed and tells him she’ll just have to try again at finding someone. (At least that was my interpretation, honestly she could have been saying, she’ll try to get Blue’s affections again but I feel like that last convo was kind of final). That was my analysis attempt, I’m like 99% its all wrong lol, especially because I think theres meant to be a part two so it’s unlikely Lilac really tried moving on from Blue. Victaton is very good at metaphorical imagery. The work she is doing is really informative and impactful especially for male sa victims. I really hope Blue is happy in the end 💙
SHIT YOU MATPAT CULTISTS THE AMOUNT OF TYM YOU MUST'VE SPENT FOR THIS OMG I LOVE YOU also i did wanna mention victaton is a boy- although idrk bro's pronouns (i promise it's not the only thing i got out of your long ass paragraph i actually read it all w my short attention span lmao) another gen q i would like some1 to answer is what is blue's and other characters' age range? idk if vic mentioned it before
Lilac is I think my favorite character so far (not like the competition is anything really) but her introduction as this well meaning woman who works hard for her somewhat dysfunctional family really hits home for me. She clearly has trauma that she’s tried getting past, and in a way finds comfort in being in a new relationship with Blue. I think it’s very unfair to both her and Blue that he’s already involved (against his will but very much still) with Pink, who doesn’t seem to want to let him go. Magenta and Lilac’s other kid (who I’ll call Cordovan or Maroon,) are realistic interpretations of a woman’s children that she’s had to raise in her own after a probably very rough divorce/break up. I’d have to check again to see if Lilac was indeed married, as the video went by faster than I could analyze it. I’ll go back and check. But for now, despite the obvious and ominous possibility of something really bad happening in the next part of baby hotline, this is my favorite storytelling and thematic wise. It conveys a kind of abuse that most people don’t really see all the time, which is the pushing of boundaries when in an experimental relationship. Good work Vic, hope to see part two very soon. 👍
Edit (I don’t want to edit the comment so I’ll reply instead): The abuse showcased in this isn’t necessarily about touch, or psychological warfare or manipulation… but about not understanding and not accepting that someone may feel differently about things than you do. Magenta for a example (not call on her an abuser just pointing the theme out) she seems to have crucial judgement of Blue when they go out to dinner. Understandably so. Her mom is seeing a new guy she doesn’t know, and that can be confusing and conflicting for any kid, no matter how old or mature they might be. Blue isn’t used to this kind of gentle affection, as he is shown to keep trying to push intimate (s3xual) thoughts from his head 1:10 here. He doesn’t want to push Lilac’s boundaries but he does so anyway, because he hasn’t learned that pleasing a partner doesn’t always mean admiring them, giving them s3x, or only doing what *they* want. His naivety hasn’t left him, because he’s been traumatized. There a lot more to unpack about this video that I don’t have the time nor energy to express in a comment, but just know I appreciate this video a lot for showcasing a different kind of emotional setting than just S/A and S/H, which is still a huge problem and a great factor in the story.
I think they WERE married, if you look at one of the scenes where blue is asking lilac when she’ll be done with work, her profile picture looks like a wedding. Edit: actually looking back I’m not sure, she could’ve been just wearing a white dress but idk
This basically confirms that those red eyed/red mouthed people are likely HR. Wonderful. What great people who continue to talk about people behind their back. :)
Yeah! I think that when she said that Blue is a Hoarder of Quarters she didn't mean it in some mean way to offend Blue, she juts doesn't want her mom to be hurt again like it happened before with her dad
Did y’all realized that this version of Blue like he has the red horns and devilish smile as the way Pink described her ex husband and glasses like Lilac’s ex partner?
@@YourSweetCakepopyeah!! it's most likely blue framing himself as a 'bad guy' for wanting sexual desires, or making a small mistake and him snowballing it into thinking that he's the worst person in the world, or anything of the sort; the fact that it looks 'scribbled' on him too in red (much like the red that represents the eye people, which have shown to either be bystanders or the HR of the companies) also points out that he might be starting to believe the rumors that people have spread about him throughout the workplace. I'm pretty sure this is kinda wrong so take it with a grain of salt
Honestly, this whole thing makes me feel bad for both Blue and Lilac. They can’t/shouldn’t be together and have their own issues to settle out due to their trauma and it’s clearly effecting their livelihoods. It sucks that they didn’t meet under better circumstances.
The way I see pink glasses blue is that pink represents those who are a victim (hence his abuser Pink) and it’s the response of having trouble in relationships due to viewing everyone as the same as their abuser. He probably thinks Lilac is just like his abusers, which is why he’s struggling with boundaries because his own were thrown out the window.
I guess that's a way for him to perceive his relationships, the pink glasses might be the point of view. The way it breaks is because he starts to realize the decisions he is taking are bad (when he tries to take the photo) he feels he's messing something up and that affects the relationship, the second time is when he feels he's being like Lilac's ex.And It breaks even more when Lilac just wants to cuddle but he feels it'll get to something intimate feeling ashamed of his behaviour in front of a child
Love what you did with the dynamic between Blue, Lilac, Lavender, Purple, and Pink. And just how paranoid Blue was near the end. (Bro Purple why r u so mad at Blue ??? 😭 Like dawg was just existing somewhat peacefully traumatized and here you are tryna throw hands with him! Literally!)
in 0:19 you can see blue blushing at lilac but later on it flashes blue with a demon face on which represent blues guilt and later on changes his expression
0:35 Wait, he tried to convince her to stay by telling her he would k1ll himself if she left??? That's so messed up, Lilac you deserve better. And the guy's still talking with her like nothing happen. I hate these purple people (I'm guessing they are a family since Pink seems to know him?)
This is what I got from this. Looking back on this, it looks like most of the phones are green, according to google this means: spontaneous, curious, light-hearted, easily diverted, enjoyable, mutual and consensual. Which I find interesting, because in the starting background is green, with blue in it, aswell as the phone lilac picks up. This could symbolise that the friendship is a very healthy one, but this is just part one so we only have an idea of what’s going on. Also, most scenes with lilac and blue turn green, or have green objects in it, but when blue holds the phone to take pictures, lilac quickly tells him no, meaning lilac doesn’t like being in pictures, and blue feels bad about over stepping her boundaries, leading back to him thinking he’s a bad person (blue isn’t completely innocent, I know that) ANOTHER PART, is when blue sees pink and lilac talking (I’m not sure what lilac is talking about, but I think pink is talking about there relationship) Blue starts to think, and in past videos, when a background turns a certain colour it often represents things like, they are in control, or they are a problem right now. In that scene you can see the background turn blue, a dark shade, this could symbolise that blue blames himself or thinks he’s the problem. The next scene shows two mouths talking about blue and his “affairs” meaning that word got out, they represent red, most like the judges, but with mouths. Now with the eye judges, I think it means they judge with there eyes, so what they see, leading to the most awful statement in SA “it’s because of what you were wearing” which is bullshit excuse of SA. I think that mouths just play on what they heard and continue to spread it. Lilac hears the rumours, and asks “are you with pink”, the words are in cyan, which in blues case, is anger. In scratchy writing, meaning that blue hates pink and hates everything to do with her? I’m not sure. Blue explains, that they don’t love each-other, I’m not sure what the arrows mean and I’m not sure that’s what he means. Next scene is where it’s proven that blue likes lilac, and lilac sees pink, get mad because blue looked at another girl, rightfully making lilac uncomfortable, the scene background is pink and blue meaning that, both pink and blue are effecting lilac. But when it switches back to lilac, the scene is blue, made up of light blues and dark blues, this could mean that lilac feels uncomfortable with mostly blue, or feeling watched, because blue states that pink and him don’t love each other yet they retaliate like that. The next scene, green is the background once again, it looks like blue is trying to express his emotions and feelings to lilac, and lilac just seeing him and pink. Lilac looks like she’s saying, she’s not ready just yet, give it some time. Which makes blue think that, maybe she doesn’t like him? Maybe I did something wrong? Which doesn’t seem to be the case, sometimes people need time before stepping in a relationship. The walking scene, it looks like the purple Mohawk guy is talking to lilac in which, lilac turns off the phone, seeming like the guy is someone lilac doesn’t like? I’m not too sure. For this whole scene it seems like lilac is occupied by her phone, im not sure if there is a reason why, vic you might need to explain it unless someone real smart finds out, it seems like lilac is making the other employees pissed because it’s preventing blue from spending time with them and making him less vulnerable with another person around. The next scene he is alone, and thinking of red, which he’s scared to be alone. He’s thinking about how sexualised he is? He just wants it to all stop. Lilac and blue are then out having lunch, when lilac asks blue to get her flowers and blue replies, it should be the other way around. Which in the videos explaining the abusers, it says that blue is not very wealthy, so this could lead to lilac thinking that he’s in it for the money? Blue and lilac are then talking to eachother on the phone, and blue starts to think about lilac in a flirtatious way? But quickly tries to stop thinking about it. Again, lilac doesn’t like getting pictures taken of her, so when blue did when she was sleeping, it seems like she felt her boundaries overstepped. The scene where he’s lying on the floor and lilac cuddles him, it seems like he kind of freaks out, like his perception is kind of messy and hugs can seem sexual, and it’s ok to have boundaries, but not saying them can lead to problems in the future if people think your ok with it. (Her son is adorable) They are then sitting on the couch and most people are telling them that they should not be a thing, lilac says, “we could try agian?” Im not too sure what it means but I’m sure someone will find out
so... because of all blue has suffered, he can´t seem to get to lilac as fast as the others so it kind of implicates his insecurities of being used to like maintain lilac´s kid but blue DOES like lilac, he just scared of being used again (idk is a theory)
The horns indicate his desire to do bad things. The glasses indicate his disability to his boundary (how far he could do something bad). And the mouth is just a replacement of his original mouth, indicating how he can still show expressions despite unable to speak up for himself anymore. So ill call this version of him... The lost devil.
i thought of the mouth/horns as him painting himself as a bad person (esp. after he felt bad bc he made lilac upset w the photo thing, or how he also got them after pink sat on him) like how in the video with red, at the end when they blamed him for everything he got the smile n horns, as if he enjoyed it and was to blame
@@HeyILoveThis that's actually a good point. I just thought it meant something else since the size of his horns and the mouth kept changing throughout the video.
I think we all already know that Lilac is also related to domestic abuse (due to her purple iris). But did you guys also realized that in 0:31 she froze and only her necklace stayed with it's color? That is ALSO PURPLE, (maybe) meaning how she reminded of stuff her (ex) husband used to do? Which is "taking pictures of her."
Rewatching this. I genuinely love that you have focused on blues flaws. From what it seems, blue is pushing lilacs boundaries and taking pictures of her when she doesn’t like pictures of her. And how he keeps kind of pushing (?) her to give him an answer on a relationship when she tells him shes not ready and how lilac feels uneasy with blue at 0:46. S/A victims are not always innocent and can make other people uncomfortable (unintentionally) and I wish people saw that. I genuinely really love this and I really really hope everything gets better for blue and for lilac and whatever relationship they will have, romantic or not.
0:25 I think Magenta might be suspicious of Blue either because (in the sweet little bumblebee video) it shows that people were victim blaming blue and making seem like a bad guy and Magenta might have believed it OR she’s worried that Blue would be just like Lilacs ex (because it does implied that Lilacs ex was not a good guy) (But I want more people to talk about this scene because I find it to be some what interesting)
As a male victim that's been following this series since day 1, these videos just get harder and harder to watch with each installment. But I feel seen for once instead of blamed. Thank you, Vic.
The way Lilac is thinking long term but Blue is afraid to leave the relationship with Pink... Maybe out of obligation? Guilt? Prehaps she's also a higher rank but lower then Purple, he's afraid of being fired as the HR is already on his ass. I'm really sorry for Blue, SA changes you. The way he's so traumatized by the justice system that he precieves every boundary as a negative interaction but also doesn't know what he truly wants. The yet to be named child also evokes some sort of anxiety in him... Is it prehaps a reference to something deeper on the surface? We know by sweet little bumblebee that Blue is a victim of COCSA incest... What if he was exposed to physical intimacy at a young age and it also messed with him. He projects himself on the little boy. BUT HEY THAT'S JUST A THEORY Keep it up Victation, I know you're burned out but thank you for all your hard work.
Genuinely the saddest part is u can see how they both like each other, but blue isn’t quite ready for a relationship, and even if he thought he was, because he hadn’t confronted his trauma, he would most likely not be as ready as he thought he was.
Lilac is having a thing where she sees blue as her boyfriend or ex I don’t know, but blue seems to have a lot of feelings for Lilac like a crush. Blue is mostly being seen as like the devil or I don’t know what kind version we call it, lilac’s daughter doesn’t have a good feeling about blue maybe or she doesn’t like him. It’s understandable how a daughter or child won’t like someone around their parent or something like that. Blue having fantasies about him and lilac is quite interesting, and that one he brushed off was probably something more sexual and unusual about her. Lilac is aware at least by what is going on (maybe or she is really.) she is aware about blue taking a picture of her even tho she told him no pictures and all that. I don’t know my spelling and typing is horrible
Great video as always Vic!! This video has revealed so much about Lilac (like her daughter and traumatic past), and it’s sad to see both her and Blue most likely wanting to progress into a relationship but are both conflicted by their traumatic experiences, causing them problems. It’s also heartbreaking seeing Blue feeling guilty and being scared he’ll end up as an abuser, and I wish the best for both of them 💗.
I like the visual representation of Blue being so scared/nervous when Lilac is being politely romantic with Blue yet bc of his sexual abuse with the other women at work, he's scared of any sort of physical touch at all (also im gonna assume Lilac had an abusive ex husband and tried to heal by dating Blue but he has problems so they didn't work out in the end)
i figured that lilac’s story would have something to do with domestic violence, considering she has a purple eye and the purple ribbon is for domestic violence awareness.
Not even going to lie, this has been the only video so far to trigger me (IM OKAY) Blue villainizing himself resonates with me so much because of how everyone around him made him the villan so he started to believe he was.
Something rlly cool I wanted to point out was how the red expressions paint a completely different (more malicious) expression on Blue's face despite him not actually doing anything wrong/anything without reason. It portrays the victim blaming subtly and consistently!
my guess is that lilac's ex, despite her having made it very clear that they broke up because he continuously tried to make her push her boundaries MUCH farther than she was comfy with, kept trying to get her back via guilt tripping, downplaying whatever he did, looking desperate, threatening to hurt himself, etc. and honestly, as someone who had a partner who did all those things, that is a TERRIFYING experience, and i could see why she would need some time to think about it before being in a real relationship again. it is a nightmare trying to pretend someone doesn't exist when they consistently contact you, trying to make you feel terrible because you couldn't "fix" them or because you "gave up on" them. and when you do finally leave, it takes a lot to convince yourself you were in the right for leaving.
I think i have a little theory about why lilac doesn't like blue taking photos of her In 0:34 we see her talking about her ex and he's seen with a phone, i think this means that her ex took photos of her while having se... Wihout her consent so when blue takes photos of her or tries she remembers the event and gets uncomfortable In 1:12 we see a photo of her sleeping in Blue's phone and Lilac getting upset at Blue for taking the photo wihout her consent (ngl i kinda wanted to slap Blue in this part, i know he probably didn't do it with bad intetion but come on dude, she literally told you not to do that before and you did it anyways) I also noticed that in 0:52 you can see that Pink seems a little annoyed when Lilac is in between Pink and Blue but when Lilac gets a call from her ex she freezes and when pink turns back to see her she seems worried, like if she emphatizes with her it would make sense since she's been in a situation like her with her husband Also in 1:15 Lilac's profile picture is her with pink, and yes, it could be Magenta but in the profile picture the the girl next to lilac has white lipstick, like pink used to, and doesn't seem to have eyes like pink Plus in lovefool we already have seen Lilac and pink together, so they are probably friends for a long and before Blue came to the company So maybe after what Pink did to Blue and the fact that Pink likes the power she has on him and that Blue is starting to like Lilac might make her jealous cause her friend is taking away "her man" (idk how to put it) but she doesn't want to leave her since they met for a long time and doesn't want to lose Lilac for a dumb reason, her jealousy I'm afraid that maybe Pink will hurt Lilac and make her go away leaving Blue alone once again, with no one to fully trust
because of the text at the beginning I’m assuming this is about Blue having trouble with understanding boundaries since his own were disrespected and because of his trauma. He took a picture of Lilac sleeping on his chest even though she didn’t like to be photographed (we can see her freeze up when Blue pulls his phone out while they’re all having dinner.) Blue had a strange reaction to Lilac’s preference however, and it could’ve been his trauma affecting his ability to respect boundaries, almost like he wasn’t taking it seriously (as the other girls didn’t take HIS seriously) My theory is that Blue and Lilac are having a friendship and Blue starts to have feelings for Lilac. (Whether they’re real feelings or if he’s just confused from his traumatic experiences is a debate to me) Lilac starts feeling the same but she’s getting mixed signals from Blue. I think at first Lilac gave dating a try but ended up deciding that she was just too busy with work and her kids but Blue kept persisting. Eventually she might’ve given in but by that point Blue is being really confusing or something??? The ending is what made me think that; I think Lilac was being affectionate back finally but Blue thought “oh, maybe they’re all the same” or “it’s happening again.” Like maybe he thought she was going to be like all the others?? He also looked at Lilac’s (assuming) son and realized this isn’t what he wanted? Idk these are just my thoughts ALSO- I just thought that maybe Lilac doesn’t want to be photographed because if it gets posted her ex husband(?) could possibly find her
At 0:34 it shows her taking about her ex. My guess is that he posted a video of them doing it without her consent, got drunk, and threatened suicide if she left him.
It took me some time to figure out what heart-shaped glasses Blue meant, until I realized that he is, quite literally, seeing everything through rose colored glasses. He can't move on from what happened so he just tries to act like a normal person, but he really can't move on, and the more he fails to convince himself that everything is ok, the more his glasses crack. One other detail that I noticed was that it's this version of Blue that has the demonic features. It makes sense once you think about it. If no one around him is the problem, it's easy for him to assume the problem is him. The demon horns and tail Blue sees himself with kinda speak for themselves, but what I really noticed was how his mouth is also scribbled on in the same style. It also helps show us how badly Blue sees himself, but there is definitely significance in the mouth specifically being changed. Throughout this entire thing, Blue losing his mouth serves as a metaphor for him being unable to express himself, and happens after his SA. There are only two versions of him that have mouths are Cyan (the angry response to SA, who would be most likely to speak his mind), and Dark Blue (the hypersexual version of him, who would probably still not express his trauma properly). This version of Blue does not have a mouth, other than the one that is scribbled on. He cannot speak his mind without feeling bad for it, especially not in interaction with Lilac. The same logic he uses to convince himself that everything around him is fine is the logic that stops him from speaking up, because he believes there is nothing wrong, and feels like he is the problem for using his voice and causing issues. One more thing I like is how the different versions of Blue interchange throughout the video. We've already seen Blue's colors get dull multiple times, which seems to represent the depressive response to SA. But in this video we also see him become more Cyan when he gets angry, and a version of him as Dark Blue when he compares himself to Lilac's ex. It shows that there's no one way people respond to SA. It's a complex trauma, and the emotions connected to it are also complex and confusing.
This is my interpretation of the video at the moment. I may be wrong. 0:16 Blue and Lilac are on a date, and Blue seems quite nervous. He is wearing heart-shaped glasses, signifying he is trying his best to see the nicer, happier side of things after his abuse. 0:18 Lilac intruduces her daughter, Magenta, who doesn't seem to like Blue very much. If you watch over this scene again, you can see that Blue's face flashes with the scribble horns and smile fairly quickly. This could mean that Blue feels like he is invading on Lilac's family and seeing himself as the bad guy. 0:24 They are sitting in a restaurant and their food has just arrived. Blue just stares at his food, maybe having lost his appetite over the bad thoughts against himself. Magenta whispers part of the song, "he's a hoarder of quarters" to Lilac, who gets mad and swiftly shuts her up. Knowing the original song, this phrase is used to potray either a gold-digger, or someone who often uses quarters to call someone. (A hotline, maybe? The song is called Baby Hotline). In this context though, Magenta probably thinks Blue is just using her mother, just like her father did. (More on that later on). 0:30 Blue takes out his phone to take a selfie, most likely to break tension or just to remember this first date. Lilac tenses up and tells Blue that she isn't comfortable being in photos, Blue abides and again, sees himself as the bad guy in yet another situation. 0:34 Lilac is shown talking to Pink about what her ex-husband did to her when they were together, which consisted of filming, photographing, and recording without permission. Lilac's ex-husband is also shown drunk with a broken bottle, so this situation may have also been physical domestic abuse, and not just limited to sexual or mental abuse. Pink consoles her and suggests looking out for each other, which I imagine went something along the lines of "us women have to stick together." Blue overhears this, and feels guilty, picturing himself being just like Lilac's ex-husband. 0:39 Blue is shown poring himself a cup of coffee while the red judge people walk past talking about him and how sexual he is. His pupils turn red while he gets mad at these statements. Lilac comes up next to him and asks if there's anything between them romantically and Blue quickly denies this, fearing that he'll just end up hurting her like he believes he's done to everyone else in this workplace. 0:43 Here, Lilac notices Blue staring at her...but so does Pink. She gets mad and either tells him to get back to work or to stop staring at other women. Lilac is shocked and confused by this. "Is Blue with Pink?" "Do I mean anything to him?" "Is he cheating on her?" "Was Magenta right about him?" 0:51 This scene seems to be set earlier in the timeline, because Blue is still vibrant and has no black marks on his face. Blue and Lilac are walking together, but Pink takes over when Lilac gets a call from her ex-husband (possibly just husband at this point in time), and quickly hangs up. Pink looks back at Lilac and seems genuinely concerned and sympathetic. 0:55 Blue is texting with someone and sends a photo and some emojiis. This could be Pink, Lilac, or Lavender, but based on the tone and the silly photo, it's probably Lavender, being his sister and all. 0:56 Lavender, Lilac, and Blue are walking together with the gifts and shopping from the LOOK DON'T TOUCH meme. Lilac is chatting with the two when Lavender gets a call. There is a fast, glitchy scene of Magenta pushing who is most likely to be Lilac's son, in a wheelchair. This child probably has some sort of disease or terrible injury, which is causing him to be in this wheelchair. This has most likely put quite a bit of tension in this family, causing Lilac to be even more alert and traumatised. 1:00 Lilac quickly walks off to take a call regarding her son, with Purple following behind. Purple gets mad, stops walking, and starts choking blue for whatever reason. Maybe Purple was going to try manipulate Lilac, lost her chance, and took her anger out on blue? Or maybe she was waiting for Lilac to leave so she could abuse him. 1:04 Blue is walking along, overhearing people talking about the situation with Red and him while getting increasingly angry. 1:07 Blue and Lilac are on another date, and Lilac points out someone giving another some flowers, saying how she would love it if Blue got her flowers. Blue questions why flowers are so important, having really only been in sexual relationships since probably college. Lilac is disappointed at this answer. 1:09 Lilac is at home on the phone with Blue, who is thinking about her (and how pretty she is) before quickly demolishing these thoughts in fear of hurting her. 1:12 Blue is back at work looking at a photo of Lilac he took while she was sleeping. Lilac appears behind him and tells him off for pushing her boundraries again. 1:13 Lilac is on the phone with someone (probably Blue) talking about marriage and growing old together, but this moment is interrupted by Pink, who sits on Blue's lap and asks him to sign something. Blue's demon scribbles appear again and he feels bad for engaging in two relantionships at once. 1:16 Lilac is distraught over work and her texts with Blue, where he seems to be asking if they can "❤?" To which Lilac responds saying she needs time, time to get over what happened with her ex, time to forgive him for taking photos of her, time to deal with hospital bills for her son, time to finish leftover work, time to be simply ready. Blue accepts this, but ultimately comes of as impatient by asking that question again. 1:18 Blue is lying on Lilac's couch and she snuggles up against him. Blue panics and his demon scribble face seems to be drooling, showing that he thinks this is what he wants, but nonetheless, he sits up and texts Lilac that he isn't in love with her, doesn't want a relationship, and only feels sexual attraction towards her. Lilac reads these messages and responds by saying "oh, uh, I'll try again". This can either mean that she thinks she needs to find someone else, or that she needs to find another angle with Blue. Wow, this ended up being really long wtf- Overall, I hope Lilac and Blue end up helping each other with their issues and are happy together. ❤
Im so excited that this video came out!!😭 It’s so sad because it seems that Lilac also struggles with relationships as she says she wants time and doesn’t want Blue taking pictures of her, perhaps Blue somehow reminds her of her ex-Husband? As it seems that his husband probably took pictures of her without her permission and it also seems that he is always trying to call her, and Blue seems like he is being too insistent with Lilac about their relationship. Now Blue also has his obvious struggles as he thinks every form of affection from Lilac is from a sexu@l intention and pushes Lilac away, but also showing that Blue can also be hurtful without meaning it (as Vic said Blue is not perfect) it's sad that Blue thinks he is the abuser in his whole SA situation thanks to everyone in his space work saying he is the abuser and that Red is the victim. I loved the detail that when Lilac received the call from his ex-husband, Pink softens her look as she went through something similar, seems like they are/were good friends Long ass text 💀
The way we get to walk down the path of Blue’s S/A and see how it has affected him in the long run as he tries to pursue a relationship with Lilac is so realistic. You’re so correct as there are no right or wrong ways to react when it comes to being sexually abused; trauma causes you to react in a multiple amount of ways, whether it’s physical, mental, or even sexually as a way to try and “cope” with what has happened to someone who has been abused. I’ve been a “victim” (I don’t like calling myself that personally, but yeah) in situations like these, and seeing the realism behind Blue’s reactions knowing that they aren’t necessarily healthy is so important when witnessing the reality of what sexual abuse does to someone. Thank you for your work, Vic.
There are ACTUAL people who victim blame others and sympathize with abusers. Did I say “Oooh Blue is such a cutie patootie he does no wrong 🥺🥺🥺” NO??? How Blue is acting in the video CLEARLY isn’t healthy and that’s the reality for most victims who have been abused. A victims perspective on what’s right or wrong can be warped because of trauma. There is not a right or wrong way for victims to act, and it’s clear that his actions here are not okay towards Lilac. I NEVER defended his bad actions but I’m not going to look past WHY it happens because that’s the point of Vic’s series: EDUCATION. Good day and good riddance.
@@korave disgusting, this person's romanticizes it anyway, what I'm saying is a abuser is a abuser, no one gives two shits what caused it, everyone in the series is a monster apart from the non abusers, abusers don't deserve to be empathized with or to live lmao
The part were Blue starts to compare/see himself as Pink and Lilac's abusers (I call then Indigo and Violet idk if they have canon names yet) really hit home for me, I hope that Blue and Lilac get a happy ending
Lilac is becoming my favorite ngl i love her design so much and she’s genuinely so cute. I hope her and blue have a happy ending whether theyre in a relationship or not.
Why is no body talking about 0:51?? It portrays how pink is always trying to smother and take control over blue, lavender is always doing something, and is too busy for blue, even when he needs her help (as wee see in "shut up" and "slbb"), and how purple is always quick to lose it, and abuses blue and red (she failed on red) because they are the most vunerable, and wont speak up, and how everyone sees blue as the bad guy because of him "sexual assulting" red (when it was red to blame) and how evryone comforts the victim when their a young girl, but an older man is to blame because of his age and sex.
Im trying to decipher all of this. I analyzed Lilac and Blue's texts which were just: ❤? ⏰.. 😐⏰.. Im unsure of much of the meaning but I think Blue is trying to figure out if Lilac likes anyone and Lilac is giving it some time, but I think Blue is somewhat tired of waiting? Im honestly not sure what all of it means but I also think Lilac's ex or smth the purple dude is trying to contact Lilac, but Lilac doesnt want him interacting with her, which is why she doesnt want Blue to take pictures of her
1:21 It's like Blue is trying to make his relationship with Lilac just sexual or so I understand edited: or maybe he just wants a non-serious relationship
I think he just wants a romantic relationship, since he got nervous when she kind of "hugged" him, he must have thought she wanted a sexual relationship with him at that moment because of the abuse or something, and since there was a Baby there he avoided her by saying bad things about himself or something like that I didn't really understand, I've been rewatching that scene for 100 times now and I still don't understand what the heck is happening
I feel so sorry for both lilac and Blue, i noticed that the reason why blue was scared at 0:15 was because whenever someone is behind him, all he thinks of is being watched by his sister, this view on love/relationships is damaged because of being s/a’d and now is pushing lilac away whenever she wants to genuinely love him. Now for lilac I noticed that when blue was talking to her and holding her hand, she starts to spiral and even seems to tel him that it feels like they’re rushing things and if he even loves her to which blue stays silent on (cause it seems like he doesn’t even know either), and poor lilac cause her ex seems to be harassing her (when he called and she quickly hung up scared, I also noticed the boss lady looking concerned/worried about lilac in that moment) and blue broke her boundaries and took a photo of her without consent. I really hope blue and lilac get the therapy, love and support they both need.
Hello! I've watched this video a bit and I just wanted to point out some stuff that I thought was interesting. So here are some details i've noticed: - 0:16, Blue seems to almost react into a flight or fight mode when he feels a presence behind him. He assumes it's Lavender (his sister, i changed this because I thought she was his cousin) and immediately panics before turning around to see Lilac. - When Blue takes out his phone, assuming - that he wanted to talk a picture, Lilac FREEZES UP at 0:31. Which when Blue sees her denying to take pictures, he seems almost guilty, shameful. - At 0:35, she seems to be explaining to Blue to which I am unsure what it is, but it's most likely her husband (or ex husband) who took a picture without her consent, and later on Pink shows up to explain- then, you can see how Blue thinks. His perception of himself glitches for a second similarly to the purple guy, at 0:38 - At 0:55, you can see Lilac lacking in her hue, and Pink turns back just to check up on her- with almost a worried expression? I'd like to think she is empathic and feels rather worried for her. - 1:11 is where you can see Blue almost fantasizing her, before wiping his thoughts out (like literally, with the way he shake his thoughts out). - 1:22, you can almost see like Lilac feel a bit disappointed in herself. Throughout the video, she questions their relationship dynamic especially if Blue does like her or not. And he denies it here. Please let me know if I missed anything, or if you just wanna discuss more about it!
That’s cool, but I think lavender is blues sister. Blue immediately assumes its her because of her constantly prying into his personal space like staring at him while he is changing, at the end of Look don’t touch, he couldn’t feel relaxed anywhere because he felt like lavender was watching him Also because they are blood related it’s more likely for her than pink red and purple to find him in public
seeing blue's new design to me just makes me understand how much he's changed from all of the SA hes expeirenced from the others, it took a strong toll on his mental health making him completely even change his appearance along with his personality poor blue:(
my interpitation of this so far (MIGHT BE WRONG) 0:17 blue and lilac might be friends 0:49 maybe lilac here is saying she needs time to think about how to respond to blues confession 1:10 blue is developing feelings (or a sexual attraction but this seems highly unlikely being as {ACCORDING TO A COMMUNITY POST} this IS NOT hypersexual blue) 1:13 lilac doesnt like the fact that blue has a pic of her 1:22 this may be really incorrect but i think lilac likes blue as well for blues "horns" i think this represents his possible sexual attraction to lilac the glasses breaking may represent the times he's been rejected by her as for the blue eye i have no clue AGAIN THIS IS PROBABLY WRONG
Idk if this is completely true, but I think the glasses might be cracking every time he feels like he does something wrong. -His glasses crack when he tries to take a picture of lilac and she says she’s uncomfortable with it, probably feeling like he immediately betrayed her trust in him -His glasses also crack when Lilac tries to cuddle with him (Now I saw a comment saying that because of all that Blue has been through, he thinks that something as simple as cuddling means an invitation to sex. I believe this ngl so im sticking with that.) but he sees the baby nearby. Thinking that she wants sex, he declines. - 0:37 His glasses also crack here too. It might be because he doesn’t want to be like Lilac’s ex, but the image showed Blue with his sister’s hairline. This might just be coincidence though and I could be looking too into it-
Stopping here to think again. . . Is Blue afraid of having a possible "love relationship" with a single mother like Lilac and then ending up in a terrible situation? - I'm not saying that he doesn't like children, I'm not saying that Blue thinks about a romantic relationship with Lilac. - The one who will really decide everything is Victaton, I just ended up seeing how Blue looked at Lilac's (youngest) child, he seemed scared, maybe? I can't understand that kind of blue with the glasses. . . And I remembered that it was said that Lilac is the second breaking point of Blue.
People are talking about the characters, specifically lilac and blue's relationship but I wanna talk a bit about the start 'There is no wrong or right way to act' where the 'methods of reaction' are shown 0:03. Have fun reading all'a that. My Descriptions: (left to right) 1st - embracing the lustful feeling, most likely confused about what is right and wrong, deciding to cope by trying to control that lust by being the initiator of it, seen through the pupils being not covered by hearts but themselves being hearts and a white kiss and tongue which white represented pink's intimacy as nice to blue so in this method he sees his tongue and the kiss as good. 2nd - our current method, similar to the 1st, they are thinking lustful thoughts (maybe) and they see themself as lustful people, thinking everything physical is sexual even if they don't want to, seen as the horns are put onto their face in a big grin and horns on their head with heart eyes. 3rd - this one we have seen, shocked and freezing up, seen as they have no mouth and an inability to speak up while also having wide, white, shocked eyes. 4th - Rage, they lash out and take out their anger around them, seen as their hair is spiked like a cartoon fire, they have a big scowl, closed eyes (they don't care who they lash out to) and glowing like a fire. 5th - Depression, unsure but I believe it's just giving up and not expecting recovery or help, not trying to avoid or fight it as seen with the whole jaw being in that black (representing areas of s/a) and the black eyes and darker colour shows how they might not even feel like a normal person anymore but only a toy.
Honestly, I really love the idea that just because Lilac is there it doesn’t mean everything’s gonna turn into a happy fairytale ending blue is still going through the shit he’s going through and he’s still struggling
I’m going through a breakup, it’s so hard because they helped me through my previous situation if yk what I mean, and I feel so good knowing this video exist. Thank you so much for showing the struggle of being in a relationship as a victim it warms my heart to see how maturely you portray this subject. Much love to you thank you so much 💕💕💕
At 0:55 we see lilacs ex call her which puts her in shock and then we actually see pink show concern for her, showing that before the blue situation she was at least a decent person but afterwards became extremely jealous and possessive of blue which also helps with the theme of blue thinking he’s a bad person for his hyper-sexuality since he’s seen pink talk about someone supposedly like that with lilac
This may have been said or someone else noticed it idk. But I might just go on a rant. I really like how this version of blue doesn't have like a "normal mouth" throughout the video, because his ACTUAL mouth is missing, and the mouth he has is like a drawing, indicating these aren't his real intentions and seems to be acting upon how others see him, and have talking about him. I just love every detail that having a mouth and having no mouth includes, such as during the beginning blue doesn't necessarily have a mouth like lilac and magenta, it's drawn out and often pops up randomly while they're out. Showing intrusive thoughts, and such like when lilac said that she didn't want to be recorded or have pictures of her, his "evil" grin and horns pop out of no where showing he has intentions but doesnt actually mean them in any sort of way, and he's coping horribly. I love how much research you put into these videos and do whatever you need to, to make sure to get the message across. It's also seen that during the part where blue is walking with multiple of his abusers, first off when he's with pink and lilac, his mouth is normal, but as it progresses he ends up losing his mouth and eventually is back to the evil mouth showing he has most likely snapped and is just playing into what people are talking about him as, and see him as. Also the fact that his glasses protray his emotions is a great detail in my opinion, showing that he feels guilty, or taken off guard by his own thoughts. I may not be a victim of S/A myself, but I think it's great you're paying attention go every aspect a person will go through. In my opinion, you did a wonderful job on this.
I love how you design the abusers. They all have their eyes covered and something else I have noticed is that they have specific parts of them that are black, which relate to how Blue is covered in some sort of black ink. Like Purple having her mouth black, Pink with her lips, Lavender with her eyes, and Red with her nails/hands. Correct me if I’m wrong about any of these ones. Also I’ve noticed how at the beginning of the series Pinks lips are white, though as it progresses they turn completely black, which might be symbolic for how she slowly started to abuse Blue. Once again, I may be wrong about some of these and I’m not so good about wording things, but I do like the little details you add with the designs.
This is very accurate and I love it ❤ I recently stopped being friends with my guy friend because he wasn't respecting my boundaries and wasn't giving me space. He told me that he thought I was naturally pretty and ever since then I was always scared of him and thought that he thought of me in a inappropriate way. It was a just a compliment but at the time I was confused on if I had feelings for him so I tried to distance myself. It's hard to keep a healthy friendship/relationship when being a victim of sa and this video shows that perfectly. Your videos help me learn new things about myself as I come to terms with my situation and I thank you ❤
Please tell me I'm wrong but this feels like it's gonna turn into a "right person wrong time" situation 🥲 I'm so scared man. I just want these characters to be happy ☹️
0:15 This part is so sad, you'll see in the first frames before Lilac slides in he thought it was Lavender and the background turned lavendery, he flinched too 😭
Thank you so much for doing this series. I especially relate to this trauma response, as i was groomed as a child by other children (12-16, i was 7-10). I have this response where if im cuddling with my partner i assume they want to do more with me and then i snap back into reality before i do anything, and its mainly just thoughts. I love these animations and your work, especially trying to get a community together of people who have experienced things similar to Blue to let them know they are not alone. Or maybe people who relate to the other characters, which Im proud of you for hopefully acknowledging the change you need to do, and I wish you luck on that journey. Again, Victaton, thank you lots for doing this, this is reassuring, and I hope Blue gets the ending he really deserves.
Okay this is super random but i screamed the moment i heard chinjireta’s cover! I feel like Using a her voice expresses lilacs view about what is happening around blue much better 👀 (especially after u said blue doesnt really have a voice anymore in the upcoming videos)
As someone who has been s/a'd by their uncle and father's friends, i just want to say something. some people (like me) dont know when they get s/a'd and think its normal or something, I only realised i was S/a'd by watching Victaton's videos. so for those who are saying shes making a trend out of a touchy subject NO SHE IS NOT. shes raising awareness on this subject. I havent told anyone about my experiences because i either thought it was normal or though " no he couldnt S/A me, hes way older than I am" or I was embarassed. I think those experiences have made me more childish, gave me anger issues and mental disorders such as ADHD. Im also now more of a Hypersexual than i was before despite the fact im only 13. I realised I dont have any feelings of Love, guilt, sadness or anything anymore I can only feel enraged. Please dont tell us its our fault for not saying anything, youre not in our shoes and you dont know how it feels to have your chest squeezed by an adult while your parents and older people laugh it off. Please listen to us and console us, we have feelings too and most of us dont know how to make things better. Thanks for reading :3
i rlly like the detail of his glasses being shaped like a heart and every time he thinks he's done something wrong/made them uncomfortable/crossed a boundary the glasses crack until one side breaks completely
One question, was Lilac a teenage mom? Since you already said that Lilac is about Blue's age, and her daughter already looks pretty grown up, so how old was she when she had her?
In 1:21 blue texts lilac on the phone instead of talking, like he was really nervous when they were just being romantic and not sexual which he thought it was and felt scared, like thats so sad 😢 Good work vic! The animation is so smooth and theres a lot going on in seconds! Its so amazing ❤
