RED DEMONS AND YELLOW PSYCHICS: COLOR ASSOCIATIONS AND THEIR ROLE IN SPN’S VISUAL LANGUAGE PART I
More color crazy SPN meta. OMG. Someone. Stop. Me.
Light and color are the most basic and powerful elements in visual storytelling. Television shows employ certain lighting techniques and/or repeat specific color combinations to create a signature style that eases viewers into a visual comfort zone. Light and color also contribute to the mood ( Read more... )
First of all, I had noticed some instances where red light was used, but this meta takes those and more and the yellow color and wraps them in a nice box with a pretty pink bow on top.
the camera pans over a monkey dressed in a yellow jacket with a red bow tie
I found this very amusing, random and creepy at the time and wondered why on earth would the camera linger on something like that. But the monkey is clearly evil!... Um, or rather it's a sign that sinister forces are on the move. Like this monkey dressed in red in 1x09 Home (this even made a sound to alert everyone of those evil things). And I've found it also curious that demon attacks seem to occur at about 8 p.m. (And what does it mean that the digital display on Ash's watch seems to read 7:09, an hour less than the analog display?... Crack!meta ( ... )

No, mostly I'm just slow. *snort* But thank you for your kind words.
The monkey in "Home" is creepy. I think it's in reference to a Stephen King story featuring an evil toy monkey.
And what does it mean that the digital display on Ash's watch seems to read 7:09, an hour less than the analog display?... Crack!meta?
LOL! I thought I was imagining that! OMG, thank you for confirming that my eyes still work. And it means that Ash, for all his MIT brillance, can't tell time. I'd love to see a crack!meta about this. We should do it. And where is your wonderfully cracktastic flamingo meta? *laughs just thinking about it*
Now I'm afraid to watch the new eps because after this my brain will be in over-drive!
Maybe we should get an icon of a brain that says "Warning: thinking may cause combustion" with a SPN S3 thingy on there somewhere. :)
I did see the 3x01 stills! Very pretty. That 7-pointed star is veryinteresting. I'm afraid that I'm going to be a ( ... )

Why is the crack!meta taking over my brain? Ash's watch has been bugging me since the ep aired. Either he can't tell time or he can't operate his watch. Yes, that needs to be meta'ed ;) And the flamingos will get their turn probably tomorrow.

Although just watching may cause combustion ;) Also, I've been thinking about a macro icon with a comical picture of a devil carrying a pitchfork, and a text saying 'Im in ur detailz, filling ur brainz'. Yes, I know, it sucks. :P ( ... )

Because crack!meta is a good excuse to occupy the brain without fear of accidentally breaking it (OK, maybe that just applies to me). I keep imagining a crack!fic about Ash in hell with his broken watch or arguing about which time zone hell is in (referring to fact that, as you pointed out, the digital and analog displays were an hour different). *snort*

LOL! I love it! I just wrote a long reply about the "Readers' Guide" idea to Sadelyrate in this post and said something about devil being in the details. :) Just so you know, I'm an icon whore and will snatch anything that makes me laugh. Hehe.

I think you meant eight-pointed star? In the window, with Sam looking out?
Yes, I glanced at those. Very, very briefly. As thumbnails.
And I might have squeed just tiny little bit.
We're a hopeless bunch, aren't we?
Is there such a thing as Supernatural Crack Lair? *ponders*
And we need that icon. It could be like our sekrit handshake or something.

Did I mention I learned to count from a tribe of half-blind and dyslexix monkeys of while on safari in East Africa?

Oo. I see even the most hard-core spoilerphobes can't resist The Pretty! :) And you watched the S3 promo! It just goes to show what happens when there are months on end without anything new to look at.

And yea, months without anything new really tries the resolve... ;)
I'll cook up a few other icons before I'll post the lot, so... Patience, grasshopper.
