"Fools" is the 2nd video in the Blue Neighborhood trilogy created by Youtuber, Singer Troye Sivan.

This video is showing the lust for human connection in a world that doesn't truly accept people for who they are. We start in the same dimly lit room from the first video as we interrupt a passionate scene between Troye and or other actor (lets call him Cody). This scene is broken up by footage of, what we assume takes place after, Cody's life and the verbal and physical abuse that he has to endure from his drunk of father who does not support him for who he is. The main story is that the dad finds out that Cody has a boyfriend and is very angry about this. He goes into Cody's room (the same room the rest of the video takes place) and throws him around and shouts at him. We see a lot of similarity  juxtaposition between the dad and Troye; when Troye throws Cody down on the bed he has a since of relief and pleasure but when the dad throws him down onto the same bed we see that he is very scared.

We cut to a new scene where Cody and his dad are working on a boat in a location we (the audience) saw the younger versions of Troye and Cody playing in when they were young in the first video. Cody and his dad seem to be getting a long for now, but Troye enters the scene and the dad sees him and is about to go confront him. Fearing for Troye, Cody stops his dad and goes to talk to Troye himself and we see Cody basically telling Troye to go away and to leace him alone. All the while Troye is singing about how "only fools fall for [him]" meaning he feels betrayed by Cody even though he saw the black eye his father gave him. Cody goes back to his dad and assures him that Troye isn't coming back. His father seems very proud of him as where Cody looks very sad and conflicted. His dad puts his arm around him and we get our first good look at the two side by side.

In this scene they are dresses very similarly to show that Cody in his innocence or need for acceptance has taken his fathers words and views on homosexuality to heart and has tried to renounce that part of himself to become just like his father. Although we can see very clearly that he knows deep down that who he is trying to become is never who he was meant to be.

As we cut to the next scene this transformation becomes much more apparent as we see Cody walking down the street holding hands with who we assume is his new girlfriend. Troye happens to be walking down the same sidewalk and sees them together. Which of course breaks his heart... as it should.

That's it for this video! Ill post about the third video later on! Hope you enjoyed this post if you did please share it around and comment on what you would like me to talk about next!
