The Return is probably my favorite piece of art, or at least the one I think about the most (yes, I’m autistic)

I got really high one time and watched a bunch of twin peaks. I had an epiphany about how a lot of central images of the show are elements of smoking cigarettes (the curtains are the flames and the floor is smoke or the ashes, for example).

I also noticed recently how S3 shows a “battle” between cold/blue tones (which always follow cops, death and investigations) and hot/orange/yellow tones (which always follow the more heartfelt and emotional elements). You can notice that characters react to blue tones taking over the screen, for example. That makes sense of some seemingly random reactions that happen sometimes. Could also be a general “analytical vs. spontaneous and heartfelt” that the colors are there to reinforce rather than encode completely.

Going further on this, there seems to be some kind of “trap” to catch the investigators/the blue/the analytical mind into an unsolvable case and then defeat it. Kinda like “Death and a Compass” by Borges.

The acting and the dialogues sometimes seem to convey different things at the same time. How the acting feels vs the concrete information being told.

(Nobody I know watches it and it’s great to finally dump this out of my head haha)

This is the water, and this is the well.

Thanks for reminding me that I really need to rewatch twin peaks
