Lava: I assume it's more than just a LotR meme.
PS: just the cute pun thanks to you, whale-(as in cryptowhale, nested pun for hidden whale)-like, ergo, leviathanically centripetal though inconspicuous references.
I (think I?) caught the vexillary tilt but the contemporaneus Gold=freedom=(republican/nonmonarchist/patriotic but not patriarchist)Luetzower origin story of the current-day teutonic colors seemed more salient. Blonde-- more yellow than white, hence clearly not kaiserlich, but even maybe an aspersion-- misappellating gold gelb was historically such. So, irrealis: "Stendhal was too yellow to go either full republican Or (heheh) full legitimist, the liminal shade of psychologically legitimist/emotionally republican was as far as he could permit himself."

(but to first order I'm just embarrassed because I quickly needed a weak rhyme for "Swabian" and lava not only quickly came to mind but was much easier to motivate than the tempting but difficult enjambment of "Bhabha / And benzedrine")
