Early bird.
So does the color of Lapis’s belt
Remind you of anything?
Chat Noir staring at the moon in the Rocketear endcard feels like foreshadowing and I don't like it.
Sweet new languages are gonna drop
I'm the girl who gets paid to give tragically foreshadowing names to scifi space program missions. my first ever job was naming a colony "troy", still proud of that one. yea you'd never guess what happened to it. years long orbital siege, oof. uhh sent off a solar probe called the "Icarus", yea it melted. oh! pair of colony ships called the Romulus and the Remus, no prizes for guessing. it's a pretty good job really. still no space elevator tho
Did anyone else notice that part of The Silver Eyes that kinda feels like it's setting the groundwork for all that weird emotion stuff that shows up later? Because I've never seen it discussed, but I noticed that like last year and only now have a platform.

The Infant Jupiter by Sir Joshue Reynolds:
This-this sounds like foreshadowing. is it foreshadowing the end of our journey or smth? chase it sounds like it
I want to come up with something too :p
anagrams
abbreviations that turn out to have multiple/other meanings
using specifically themed adjectives (like... a character that is often described by comparison with liquids turns out to be a shape shifter?)
accidental or goofy marks that turn out to look like future scars, injuries or other design details
reflections. And other things that mirror your character(s). Dolls, figurines, animals, in-story fictional characters. Not even necessarily similar-looking, just connected. By vibe and fate
subtle ways to include foreshadowing
one character knowing something offhandedly that they shouldn't, isn't addressed until later
the crow rhyme
colours!! esp if like, blue is evil in your world and the mc's best friend is always noted to wear blue...betrayal?
write with the ending in mind
use patterns from tragic past events to warn of the future
keep the characters distracted! run it in the background until the grand reveal
WEATHER.
do some research into Chekhov's gun
mention something that the mc dismisses over and over
KEEP TRACK OF WHAT YOU PUT. don't leave things hanging.
unreliable characters giving information that turn out to be true
flowers and names with meanings
anything with meanings actually
metaphors. if one character describes another as "a real demon" and the other turns out to be the bad guy, you're kind of like...ohhh yeahhh
anyways add anything else in the tags

Tubbo: “this might be the last time we meet here”
the fandom: *nervous sweating*
Ranboo said that they're could be consequences to raising the dead... Foreshadowing or na?
Tommy: I don't think you're gonna be seeing me in the prison after this
Tommy: I don't wanna be in here long
As if he couldn't say something MORE foreboding
Techno: “don't let that book I gave you guys fall into the wrong hands”
... Well if that isn’t foreshadowing I don’t know what is!

OUGGGGH i never noticed this. elle my bbg. i will come back to this later when it's relevant. ow.
haha what a random throwaway line. this is not a major character flaw and will never come back. /sarc
haha. another throwaway line that means nothing <3
man criminal minds is just full of these lines that never ever come back. nothing in this scene causes me immense pain in hindsight.
(also: just because it's a little hard to tell from the screencaps and I'm unsure if this is information that's okay to include in Alt Text given that it's context not included in the screencaps—here is the conversation with who says what.
ELLE: You know how many rapists I saw walk during my Sex Crime days? [...] It was enough to make you explode.
JJ: Well, it's a long way from feeling like that and actually committing murder. Don't you think?
HOTCH: Oh, not really.
