Mizurui Mass Psychogenic Illness

I’m also insane about Waiting for Godot, the play about waiting that Rui mentions a couple times, and I frequently post about it in relation to Rui and Mizuki. The quote in my blog description is from it, as is any dialogue attributed to Vladimir and Estragon, it’s what I’m referring to with any mention of Godot or waiting or “nothing to be done”.

Organizational tag directory (look here if you want to find a specific kind of thing I post or know what MSMS or Bitter Almonds are referring to):

That being said it would be so wonderhoy if you didn't talk about other characters you don't care to analyze or think any part deeply about just to dismiss them. Not saying you gotta like or care about them obviously it just would be cool to not see a post about my favorite little guy from one of my favorite chara analysis blogs that just is "he's stupid and I don't like him". He is my comfort the same way mizuki or rui is to you.

Thanks but how is this my problem, you see my opinions cause you’re following my tumblr blog where I post my opinions. I’m a person with thoughts about a gacha game that I share on a microblogging website, I don’t exist or post with the intent of being your favourite character analysis blog. It’s not a matter of etiquette, I don’t tag my shit 99% of the time, certainly not when I’m being negative, as you admit, you only see it cause you’re following me. When I see people say things I would consider “shit takes” about the characters I like, I hit buttons like “unfollow” or “block” instead of telling people to stop posting on their own blogs.

Rui - hard carried by having two long term friendships with girls he’s not related to before the story even begins, I do genuinely believe on an interpersonal level that Rui respects and loves and admires women, as equals and peers. However. Structurally it’s men that he actually looks up to, that he seeks the approval and permission and wisdom of. As a boy long denied boyhood for his aberration, the acceptance and friendship and understanding of boys through Tsukasa and the three musketeers means a lot him, but like, this comes with the implication that the acceptance and friendship and understanding of girls didn’t count? Of course different people mean different things to him and that doesn’t make them inherently lesser, but the shown math there doesn’t always hold up. I think Rui could name 100 women easily, wall to wall of actresses and authors and playwrights and inventors and maybe even directors. How many of them would he cite as personally influential? Maybe 3. I think he’s significantly less misogynistic than every other guy in this game and does understand to a working extent the subjugation of women and does think of women as equals (or betters, at times lowkey, interestingly), but there’s a suspect slime of plausible deniability on everything and conspicuous absenses in ideological and professional spheres. He’s a kind teenage boy*, socially aware as result of his marginalization.

Toya - immediately sees himself in Kohane in mainsto and therefore sees Akito’s behaviour as a double standard, but I don’t think he really connected the dots as to what exactly the difference was. Sort of regards everything feminine as alien, but also regards a lot of things like that because of his sheltered upbringing, and he faces and values typically feminine stuff with the utmost earnesty as he would anything else. He’s nice and I’d expect anyone raised in a massively patriarchal and sheltered environment like him to be way way worse, so like, I don’t think he really understands misogyny beyond a surface level or maybe thinks it’s over by now, but I do think at basis he thinks of women as equals. Like doesn’t even think to not think of them as equals. Like instinctively an #Ally but also doesn’t really get it so is prone to unthinkingly perpetuating the systems that be. He’s a kind teenage boy.

Huge gap.

Tsukasa - teenage boy playing a 5y/o’s idea of what a good adult man is. Chivalrous chauvinist.
