Despite Mymy being a satirical and comedic character, I do genuinely find it kind of sad how much she resents her roots. I think it’s safe to say you can indulge in the culture of another country without hating the one you came from. Like not to get serious about Mymy Schoppenboer of all characters, but at the end of the day she’s just this teenage girl who basically hates herself
And that’s not to say I don’t think she’s genuinely happy in the Netherlands just living as a Dutch person, but it IS to say that she is incredibly distraught by anyone even knowing she’s from Japan. Kinda sad just in of itself despite the comedic aspects
No I don’t think Mymy is depressed or mentally fucked or whatever, at least not as she stands now. I think she’s actually doing pretty well for herself. But I imagine that if she stayed in Japan she’d definitely be a lot like Maya (hikikomymy is my cited source here)
I like to think that as she gets older, she kinda chills out. Doesn’t really hate Japan anymore. She doesn’t love it and doesn’t actively participate in the culture because at that point, it doesn’t really feel like hers, she’s become disconnected from it. But she has a healthy relationship with being an immigrant, and I think that’s a good thought
Sorry I get so serious about Mymy cause I hate to see her get bastardized the way she does. They’re sending this 16yo off to war </3 she’s just a girl hopelessly fixated on the Netherlands
