>dude the blue in the curtain doesn’t represent anything, its just fucking blue, okay?
They are blue for I am the maker of meaning. Bow down, cattle.
>if the colour doesn’t have any significance at all even in a cultural context, why did you mention it?
>>25472988reddit-babble that wants to pretend it’s schizo-babble
>>25472977Correct.
>>25472977Yes, sometimes blue is just blue
We have come full circle.
>le subtext is for cowards!!!
>>25473015Use the correct pic next time.Faggots can't do shit correctly these days.
Why would you mention the colour at all, if it wasn't relevant?The colour of a wall can just be the colour of a wall in a movie or something, because imbuing symbolic meaning into literally everything in every frame can take too much effort.But in a book? If a mentioned colour *doesn't* have a subtext, then that's shit writing.
>>25473041Most writing is shit writing.
>>25472993>>25473041The writer wrote that the curtains were blue because within the world of the text this is true. It's a truth that cannot be avoided or ignored. You would know this if you had ever been overtaken by the muse and forced to channel a story onto a page. It just is like that
>>25473041But the curtains WERE blue. Why does there have to be subtext?
>>25473041Or it's just detail idiot, the author's vision being realized before your very eyes, subtext is for fucking pseuds
>>25473126Depends on the text, retardo
>>25473082Because you should check if there is because there might be
>>25473215Muh depends, sigh thanks for nothing ChatGPT
if the dude who picked out the curtains is a character then OBVIOUSLY it matters god
>>25473082because the room has 200000000 details in it, that all could be mentioned, but aren't because they're irrelevant. like the colour of the drapes. you know how much I think about the colour of my drapes? I literally couldn't tell you their colour, and I look at them every day. I guess they're brown. or white. or gray? I honestly don't know. but it's mentioned anyway. why?
>>25473291Just to paint a picture of the scene, which doesn't require describing every object present in explicit detail. When an author introduces a new character and briefly describes their appearance, do you read complex subtext into their hair color too?
>>25473331Okay, the curtains are blue, but what shade of blue? And what kind of fabric? Were they open or closed? Are they the kind that slides or the kind that has to be tied? Is there light coming through them? Which direction does the window face, what time of day was it, what was the weather like, were there any trees or anything that might cast a shadow through the window? Actually, was there even a window? You only mentioned drapes, not a window. Please, paint this picture of the drapes for me.
>>25473331>just paint a picture of the sceneTHAT’S WHAT HE DID AAAAAAAAAGH
>>25473364The blue drapes were heroin you dumb rube
>>25472977>>25473015>>25473041Why is he wearing blue?
