continuation of my loona midnight theory! 💫
ok, the why not m/v had a hell lot of lore in it, which took me some time to process lmao
but here are my thoughts - feel free to add more!
Starting off with Heejin. We can see her in front of lightning in the first part. #LOONA_WHYNOT
There are bars (?) around her frame; vertical. this is a first in the ot12 loona lore as i can recall. before we had only horizontal bars: white ones (hi high) and black ones (favorite, butterfly)
the only other m/vs where this happened are edily & rain 51db also one&only +
but the bars are way thicker there. The frames indicate different sides of the Möbius (for example white: oec & black: yyxy) now heejin is an interesting character, as she is the very first one, the „creator of the loonaverse“ in vivid she put color into the world.
Now notice how the two versions of ViViD have white and black frames? Heejin is basically in control. These vertical bars show a certain part of the loonaverse we haven’t seen that often. However, in the scene with the fireworks, there are no bars around heejin anymore.
maybe these represent two different timelines? or two different heejins? or how heejin is able to control the frames/ worlds? the fireworks could be meteors coming from the burning moon
heejin is seen dancing with hyunjin, in black&white -> no color
this means BEFORE vivid even happened. so we are back at the start. here we can also see the vertical frames again
so after reversing time heejin & hyunjin are back at zero, with no color whatsoever; at least for now. We could also argue that Heejin (in black) is the opposite of Hyunjin (in white)
Hyunjin plays a veeery interesting part in the m/v - i will look at that a bit later
Next up is YeoJin. She is finally in a sub-unit, wow!! However, the fun does not seem to last long. Looks like she got left alone on earth.
her solo scene is in the same spot in which yyxy (with choerry) is dancing the first chorus. but they are nowhere to be found
means, she is at the same place as them, but on the other side of the möbius, unable to meet them.
someone pointed out that the cans are jinsoul‘s from egoist m/v
so is jinsoul trying to contact yeojin? but why? https://twitter.com/edenmp4/status/1318122670710542336
also notice how the shopping cart of yeojin has paper towels inside? same with the cart on the floor with yyxy - looks like poor yeojin was abandoned
we have two units within the m/v. one on earth and one in eden. the eden unit consists of yves, olivia, chuu and choerry. basically choerry switched places with gowon. maybe choerry took her place during the rewind of one&only?
also notice the dance formation, they literally go counterclockwise:
something that connects the yyxy members (except for gowon): cars.
the „earth“ unit consists of hyunjin, yeojin, vivi and gowon. how did gowon get here i am wondering. the formation goes from a straight line to a triangle (yyxy‘s shape)
this unit splits up: hyunjin is alone on earth, same with yeojin, vivi is looking for yves and gowon is floating over the earth. basically gowon is the only one able to escape earth on her own.
we have two choerrys in the m/v: upside down choerry (with the vertical bars) and yyxy choerry. upside down choerry is in the same world as heejin & jinsoul. also indicated by heejin looking up after her first line.
so choerry definitely plays a huge role in this new timeline - look at the things i have mentioned in my other thread for reference! i am very interested in how she switched places with gowon, even though hyunjin is her mirror self - but hyunjin is the second member
and gowon is the second member in REVERSE - so in this timeline (which goes reverse) this would actually make sense!
olivia is seen with a whole squad now, all of them having her eyes as in egoist. but not olivia! does that mean she is not angry anymore? but why are the others around her?
Jinsoul is alone in a telephone booth, first with no vertical bars, but they are added when we see her odd eye! (also it says with all loonas around the world in the bg of the 2nd pic!) so she IS trying to contact someone (most likely yeojin) but what is their connection?
Kim Lip is surrounded by three moons (again going counterclockwise) and she looks distressed af. later she ascends, leaving the grass purple & after she is gone there are twelve moons overall. now are those three moons oec? cause kim lip is not one of the moons, only later
Vivi is trying to find yves (as she explained in the mv behind) but cannot find her, even though they are in the same place. vivi goes from earth to oec world (the colors/scl reference) to eden (apples)..?
everything is in reverse when the clock strikes midnight (the vertical frames also disappear) we are going to a fresh start BUT what about hyunjin. did she sacrifice one of her shoes so the others could go back? is she now cinderella waiting for the others to come back to earth?
you have reached the end of this thread! (i have actually reached the thread limit lmao)
there is way more i could talk about, but that’s my first analysis of the m/v. again feel free to add more!!
i really wanna talk about the short time stop but aaah: https://twitter.com/12papermoons/status/1318491696909352960
