[@sicksadsam]

thanks for reacting, I'm so excited for this cb! also, hyuka jumped at 5:53 so you were right about the blue hour connection :)

[@blue.orangeade]

11:20 aside from it being blue hour/5:53, did anyone else notice the dartboard on the right? if read like a clock, it reads 9:45 which is 9 3/4. Maybe this is on magic Island?

Again where to start hahah there's always so much with TXT. 1st: This is largely referencing Peter Pan ofc, but also the WeVerse Magazine explains the correlation with Faust and Mephistopheles. Many others also pointed Coraline and Alice in Wonderland too. Not sure if you remember, but the idea of Peter Pan not having a shadow in Neverland is basically why he can't grow up and mature out of boyhood. Yeonjun doesn't have a shadow in this beginning section (at least the editors did their best to erase it bless). This is also something we see heavily in SVT's Darl+ing MV since that is literally about Peter Pan, Neverland, and facing their shadows as well. You will also notice that SVT used teddy bears as a symbol for boyhood and so does TXT. When the house is tilting you can see several teddy bears spill out as well. 2nd: The CAT. That's likely a reference to both Mephistopheles and the Cheshire Cat. It is a being that tempts and tricks the boys. On that note, the boys want to fly so badly that once they get that power they are blinded by their temptation. This is probably also alluding to Icarus in which he flies too close to the Sun and his wings melt. He then falls into the sea and drowns. Fun note about the cat, if you invert the video, its eyes are GREEN AND BLUE ^^ So it's possible that this is a shadow of the cat, or at the very least it's inverted. 3rd: The mirror scene. The boys are coming face to face with their shadows, but they still have masks on. They realize they can not only go through the mirror like a doorway, but they can move the mirrors. They line them all up and they are facing their shadows TOGETHER. I think if we relate their albums to Jungian Psychology, Dream was their Persona and Ego aspect, Chaos was their Anima/Animus and Shadow aspect, and Name will be the culmination of everything which is Self. It's also called individuation and is often represented in HYBE as an eclipse. We might even get Sun, Moon, and Eclipse albums or concepts at some point. In TXT's introduction on their websiet, we see black and white circles eclipse into blue. "You and I, different but together. Tomorrow x Together". Their whole concept is about coming together, finding the middle ground between everything. Between the Ego and Shadow so that they can find themselves, between TXT and MOA, between Angel or Devil, between everything. 4th: I found a Peter Pan book call Peter Pan and the Starcatchers. It's very similar to Starseekers, no? Anywho, in the story, Peter and the Starcatchers are trying to protect the Starstuff from pirates. Starstuff essentially gives people magic powers, but too much is dangerous. Also, it's how Peter Pan can fly and it turned a bird into Tinker Bell as well. If we relate this to TSS, there is an essence called blackwater that gives magical energy, but when abused, causes paralysis and even d****h. The second book in the series is called Peter and the Shadow Thieves. In this book, the villain takes control of people by taking control of their shadows...this might be what happens to Beomgyu when he is left detatched on the other side of the mirror and it might be why he attacks Taehyun in CYSM and why Hyuka chokes Beomgyu in the Frost teaser. 5th: Huening Kai jumps at 5:53 in the video as many have mentioned already. This is before the "magic in the sky came to an end" as the Blue Hour lyrics state. Them being force to leave the comfort of bed and their room to me symbolizes "boyhood" and taking this scary jump is their foray into "reality" as they will likely come crashing to the ground. We've seen them glued to their bed in C&D, Eternity photos, LOVESONG, and now here. Them all being on the bed to me implies not all it being a safe space for them, but also the fact that beds are where you dream. In C&D the bed even flies like in Bedknobs and Broomsticks. In Thursday's Child photos they had the Hate outfits on and they were hanging around in a bedroom that looked like very much like Wendy's bedroom in Peter Pan. So I posited that maybe they were Shadows like in Peter Pan. 6th: NAMES. True names. I keep thinking back to all the lyrics and in Eternally where the mirror said "Remember my name". Everything points to the fact that they lost their true names and they don't remember Tomorrow x Together as their name or MOA's name. This reminds me of Spirited Away where Yubaba takes their names and with that she takes away their agency. They change their names or give them nicknames (like Peter Pan does to the Lost Boys) and slowly over time they start to forget their names and that makes them powerless. I don't know if it's the true names that were hinted at TOMORROW, PROMISE, HOPE, CLUE, SECRET or what, but they need to remember something they've forgotten. I think they lost their names on Magic Island because in the music video we see them toss off their school jackets and their nametags are seen lying discarded on the forest floor. Those are pinned to your jacket, so they would have deliberately had to have removed them and tossed them down. On a final note, I've talked about Icarus before, but it seems to be a concept that HYBE really likes. They used it heavily with BTS as well and the songs Young Forever and Wings in particular stand out. They even mention Icarus in Boy with Luv. And in the Loser Lover album photobook and stickers it said "Fly not Fall". Oh yeah and I forgot that they mentioned Peter Pan in the Maze in the Mirror lyrics. "I want to fly like Peter Pan". I hope TXT will get their REAL wings and be able to fly, without the temptations of magic and false dreams. I feel like that's what this chapter is all about ^^

Did you notice yeonjun didn't have a shadow at the beginning??!!

[@aalyezah]

noo????????

[@asreemse8143]

Been watching it on repeat😭, also the face at the beginning is the Cattt with two different coloured eyes. Just check Twitter for more explanation and you should really listen to the narration again, it makes complete sense but I can’t start explaining here because it will be too freakin long😭😭😭. But yes it’s Peter Pan and txt are supposed to be the lost boys who don’t want to grow up and want to fly, then get powers from the cat to fly and go to neverland AKA Magic island. But they get tricked instead and that’s how from before we saw that yeonjuns punishment after getting powers from the cat was us always seeing him dead. Cause he was the first one, even in the webtoon to use the powers from the cat. That’s just a little info 😭
