Well Blue is closer on the colour spectrum I’d think than White skin tone.

Your definition of the color of Smurfs includes basically everything.
tahrey
Let’s try and fix this with normal wordings. Wordage. Languagement. Argh.
Anyway.
Smurfs are blue.
That purple-ish colour means the person in question leans more towards a Smurfy ethnicity than does a regular human.
Ergo she might at least be dreaming of someone who is a human-smurf hybrid.
There might also be a case for asking Geminia999 if they have some kind of deuteranopia that would affect their fine colour perception enough to make that picture look quite a lot like a smurf to them.
Aras Pabedinskas
Geminia999 is brother and I can definitely say he is probably not colour blind, but we have fought hard over whether things have been green or blue.

Don’t know why noone has made this obvious conclusion yet. Joyce is obviously thinking about one of the evil purple infected bity smurfs.
Kennerly
Joyce is day dreaming about smurfing Ethan.

Smurfs in a red light district? They have actual red lights right?

I’m a Purple People Eater, and let me tell you, the number of times people have tried to serve me Smurf… it’s too many.

Come up to the north. There be pink humans here, especially in winter.

I’m a nominally pink human, living in the UK, but I tell ya what, I was very nearly a literal white, verging on eggshell blue the first time I (finally) got to wear short sleeves outside in the sun this year. It’s been a bad winter for melanin and vitamin D production, but a good one for avoiding the risk of skin cancer.
On the color spectrum it goes from pink, which is a type of red, to purple and THEN to blue.
How is blue closer to pink?
DapperAnarchist
And parts of white people (possibly others, but for no particular reason, I’ve not gotten up close and personal with those parts on non-white people) can be purple, at least sometime… (yes I mean genitals)
I think Geminia is saying it’s closer to PURPLE than pink is. Not sure if that’s true or not, but he/she’s not saying that blue is closer to pink than purple.
Kamino Neko
Y’all must have unusual rainbows in your neck of the woods if purple is closer to red than it is to blue in your spectra. (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet, and all that.)
Felix Kütt
I know of no _white_ skinned human on this planet… and I’m from northern Europe!
Wasn’t there this zombie apocalypse episode where the infected smurfs were indeed purple?
Brian Lynch
Yes, “The Purple Smurfs”. Originally appeared in Belgium as “Les Schtroumpfs Noirs” or “The Black Smurfs”. Changed in America for obvious reasons.
Charlie Spencer
And then Brad Pitt came on a UN mission.

And of course it turns out someone DID make that conclusion way before me, which I would have known had I only the basic common sense to scroll down the comments section before mouthing off 🙁
Joel Rice
What about when that bug bit them and turned them into zombie like purple smurfs?
Noel Schornhorst
Well, if they were bitten by that GNAP fly thing, they turn purple in the cartoon…
RobJustRob
I would imagine that in certain lighting a smurf would look purple. Fun fact, the original title for Purple Rain was going to be Smurf at sunset. You can’t prove it’s NOT true.
james
BTW Some consider the Purple smurf the first modern zombie story.
it predates Night of the living dead by four years.
There’s also a rare genetic mutation that causes blue skin. There is a family in the Appalachian Mountains that’s so inbred they have a lot of blue members.
Brian Lynch
If it’s rael hillbilly types, they probably take colloidal silver, giving them argyria. It’s a popular snake oil among the paranoid loon set.

Just sayin’.
Blue member. hehe.

Yes there is a rare condition which runs in a certain region of Kentucky where blood doesn’t oxygenate properly. The area that the “blue people” come from is very remote and from the time it was settled by Europeans until after WWII it was only reachable by foot. Inbreeding occurred over a couple hundred years and it wasn’t people marrying even their first cousin, but in such a small population the families had crossed so much that even 4th or 5th cousins would have the genetic similarity of 1st cousins. Imagine if everyone you had ever met was related to you, for generations.
Reg
Apparently the blue people have a tendency to make instruments out of a bunch of pipes and play Vegas.
I was about to state that very fact. Also the proportions are way off.
What? I’ve studied smurfs in detail when I was younger. Somehow that sounds dirtier the more I dwell on it.
I’m thinking her imagination conjured up that image so fast it’s affected by blue shifted light. Maybe edging towards ultraviolet, even though relativistic speed probably can’t do that.

Why is Joyce dreaming of Smurfs?
David
…pretty sure smurfs are blue…
Geminia999
But they are more purple than a human :/
David
They are zero more purple than a human, as smurfs are blue.
Geminia999
Well Blue is closer on the colour spectrum I’d think than White skin tone.

Smurfs are closer to purple on the visible spectrum than humans are, so they are in fact more purple than humans.
Makkabee
Smurfs turn purple when they get zombie plague.
Well, in the TV version, anyway. It was an ineffective attempt to disguise the racism of “Le Schtroumpf Noir.”
Icalasari
There are purple humans
And blue humans
Purple is some sort of weird genetic thing from California, only found in one family and pretty rare
Blue is death from suffocation or silver poisoning, iirc

Noooooo! He was too young to die.

Damn you for making me check to see if he WAS really dead.

She meant YOU, Yotomoe.

I’m not a she. ;_;

Needs moar nipple tag.

perhaps more Ethan nipple to be precise in these matters

Well, there are zombie-like Purple Smurfs…

But I’m pretty sure they don’t have nipples or chest hair.

Yes.

She lusts! That means we get to hit her!
Aras Pabedinskas
No, no hitting! That would be wrong and painful and not very nice.
Yotomoe
And that’s more of mikes MO.
Mr. Random
Oh, nononono no. Mike wouldn’t,t hit her. But he would ask her why she’s blushing. And then remind her she hates liars.
Valdrax
Obligatory:
I’d hit that.
DarkVeghetta
She lusts, therefor she DOES belong here. With us.
ONE OF US
ONE OF US

*grabs Ethan chest* “I belong HERE…”
Well, it’s a nice fantasy, anyway.

Ethan’s profile reminds me of Samurai Jack.

watchout!

Findin’ a way, to get to the gay,
Geeky Ethan
Watchout!

If Ethan’s Jack, does that make Joyce genderswap Aku?
Somebody
It was disturbing enough when he actually did that in an episode…

Well Jack caught on the second time Aku tried that.

For a second I couldn’t tell if that fantasy bubble was coming off of him or her
