#Felix gets to have his #BlueCake and it's not getting rained on and he's not sad any more and everyone else gets to have some
oh dear
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again, oh no

There's too much gay yearning in this video for me to restrict myself to only 4 screencaps, so here are some more.

#skzRed team and #skzBlue team were explicitly defined last year in #skzCode 59, part 1 of #FallFieldDay.
The HOP album also came in red and blue versions, with the members' solos mostly (but not entirely) color-coded to match their teams.
The exception was Railway (coded red). If there's a secret reason why it was the exception, I haven't figured it out yet. Graphic designer missed the memo??
The MVs for the blue team's solos all included a #skzBlueMoon or, in #LeeKnow's case, a #BlueCake. (I'm counting that cake because it's round like a moon and also 'mooning' and 'cake' can both be associated with butts, so there.)
The MVs for the red team's solos did *not* have a common item appearing in all of them, as far as I can see. But the recent fan meeting featured a #skzRedMoon in the stage backgrounds for at least 3 of the songs. For this to be a deliberate red team reference, there would have to be a 4th occurrence that I missed, and I'm sure it's there somewhere.
Huh I'm pretty sure that's #BangChan's favorite leather jacket that #LeeKnow is wearing in this scene from On Track.
I wonder if #YouthByLeeKnow is part of the same universe?? Because he's helping to run a bingo event at a school during that one, and he gets a blue cake thrown at him. And apparently the blue cake is a recurring symbol that appears through these skz movie club videos. Now I gotta watch them all again (a terrible hardship).
I realised that a big part of my ongoing fascination with Stray Kids is that my mind sees them as an intricate puzzle to solve.
Hence the deep-dive analysis of their hanky code signalling, their signficant jewellery, and every potentially shippy interaction that they have with each other.
This fascination started because their music is also so varied, layered, intricate. There's a lot that can be picked apart, and a lot that's put there intentionally. Then when I discovered all the extra content that they put out, that fascination multiplied.
Which is to say: my mind has still been paying attention to the skz puzzles even when I haven't been posting about them here.
Yes there is a #skzBlueMoon in #BangChan's solo video too, but not in #LeeKnow's. (Lee Know has someone throwing a round #BlueCake at him, and he ducks so that it misses him, but no blue moon that I can see. Although I amuse myself by thinking of the connection between mooning, cake, and butts.)
Anyway the #skzBlue team is mirroring the #Levanter MV in their solo MVs, with the core trio of Bang Chan, #Han and #Seungmin all including the blue moon in their solo MVs, and Lee Know on the outer again, but still associated with them with his blue cake.
The #skzRed team does not seem to have any particular red symbol connecting their solo MVs. (Having said that, #Changbin's video is so fucking dark omg what video editor is responsible for that mess.)
Do I want my mind to let go of trying to solve some of these skz puzzles? I don't know. Maybe, a little?? but I still find it fun.
