Mizurui Mass Psychogenic Illness
@friendsinsolitude
We are no longer alone, waiting for the night, waiting for Godot, waiting for… waiting. All evening we have struggled, unassisted. Now it’s over. It’s already tomorrow. (Prsk sideblog. Largely Mizurui lol)
My main/art blog is @lemonlumens, this is my Project Sekai sideblog. As you may be able to tell, I like Mizurui a lot and post about them a lot. I find them fascinating, and their relationship is fascinatingly weird as hell. More generally, I'm a Niigo fan before I'm a person and I'm in the process of contracting a case of WxS poisoning. Polyniigo and Polysho are simply true to me.
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):
#rambles - All my textposts
#swagposts - My posts that I particularly like and/or put some effort in.
#parallels - Posts where I draw parallels in the text, screenshots and/or citing my sources.
#asks - Asks.
#my art - My finished art. Everything here can also be found reblogged to my main/art blog.
#doodles - All my art and art-like stuff, including sketches, wips, and edits ~exclusive~ to this blog.
#my comics - Comics and sequentials, any of my art with dialogue basically.
#3d stuff - I dabble in 3d modelling (and needle felting) on occasion.
#notes app excerpts - The closest I get to writing.
#images tag - Textposts that are images and I therefore can't keyword search.
#mizurui playlist - Selected lyrics and justifications, songs I think are perhaps very Mizuki and or Rui. You can find the playlist here (spotify link)
#mizurui - Guess. Also includes reblogs. I don’t tag a lot of my Mizurui posting on account of being insane, though, so you may also want to search “Mizurui” or “Mizuki and Rui” without the hashtag on my blog if you want to see the full picture of my illness.
Specific scenarios:
#transfem rui - Wouldn’t it be awesome if Rui were transfem. I’m ill about her.
#mizurui yuri - Wouldn’t it be awesome if Mizuki and Rui were both trans girls and were deeply involved with each other in a sometimes implicitly-explicitly romantic sense. I’m ill about them.
#nothing sweeter than bitter almonds - College roommates Mizurui where Mizuki blatantly puts almond extract in Rui’s food to make him think she’s poisoning him, Rui’s determined to play dumb and not give her the reaction she wants. Yet another mindgame they play for fun. Here's the main post outlining the scenario with accompanying art.
#middle school manslaughter - AU where Mizuki accidentally kills a guy in middle school and Rui covers it up. The rest of the story proceeds as normal(?). Referred to as MSMS for short. | chronological view if you wanna see how the idea developed.
#reverie’s getaway - Adult Mizurui situationship roadtrip, wherein Mizuki drops by Rui’s apartment occasionally like stray cat, and then they go on a 3ish day roadtrip together somehow.
#sugar dissolves - Diamonds are Forever, Sugar Dissolves. Adult Mizurui yuri where they become ex-fiancées after a proposal and subsequent premarital divorce, featuring a ring pop and elaborate bit. They are not dating beforehand.

In the Niigo WL2 afterlive Mizuki said “singing with you all really is nice” and I immediately thought of her and Rui’s kizuna r56 show call-out line. So awesome. Getting severely mzri/polyniigo minded about it, I really like these bits where the same/similar language is used about Mizuki’s feelings for them. Like in the WL2 afterlive it’s very much that thing of this world where we’re here together, connected like this, is miraculous.
And I think just the same is true abt the mzri r56 dialogue, that quieter admission of being here and connecting with you/others being really actually nice, huh. Like that unspoken “I’m glad you’re here too” from that bday 4koma. The wonder of continuing connection. And like, the difference between “singing with you all is really nice!!” of N25WL2 and “singing is nice” “if you’re fine with me, I’ll accompany you whenever” of mzri rank56, Mizuki able to say that it is the being with everyone she finds nice, vs Rui’s hedged follow up on her implication of.

Mafuyu’s little snipes at everyone’s weak points (like Ena’s weight management and temper, Kanade’s struggles with everyday tasks and physical exertion, Mizuki’s self-indulgence like skipping school or reckless spending, etc) get more and more interesting the further we get from the Mafuyu who would say she doesn’t understand why others do the things they do. Cause it’s very much a predictable routine by now, she knows what the response is and chooses that anyway.
A little bit I kinda think she really likes winning. And the way to win rhetoric is to prove someone’s words false, to point out hypocrisy. I mean, the snipes are Funny, but it’s also kinda genuinely distasteful in an interesting way cause a lot of the snipes content are stuff the other three use to bludgeon themselves, like genuinely to some extent distressing. And I think it’s stuff that in a certain view is easy to boil down to “failures of self-discipline,” like as if they’re purely consequence of actions they take or don’t take rather than just as much products of circumstance/reinforced by environments/pressure to adhere to norms. Cause like, what’s Mafuyu had except a deeply instilled self-discipline. Y’know? To some extent taking the extreme effort she’s put into everything, into acting perfection, as a given. So those “failures of self-discipline” clash with her worldview of what’s normal, and are therefore fair game. It’s interesting as extension of her whole thing in main story of pointing out all the negative things everyone had been ignoring.
had this "wonderlands x showtime and mizuki if it's not too much trouble thanks guys" room last night and thought of u. she and rui are even beside each other <3
YESSSSSS AWESOME, exactly the kinda thing that stuff was about, I love seeing rooms and teams of WxS + Mizuki who is also here, that’s my every WxS event team for the kizuna lol. Always makes me smile TY :]
I will say it’s probable a decent amount of the reason I like Mizuki and Rui’s story is that talking about nothing of importance with someone to kill a little time while we shared an unspoken understanding that I was at rock fucking bottom was probably the most okay I’ve felt in my life, like more than when I’m actually for real doing good okay. Less “everything’s gonna be alright,” more “maybe it’s fine if this is what it is, for right now.” It’s nice as fuck, I get that deeply.

In every straightforwardly and cloyingly domestic or sweet mizurui scene I imagine, I think at some point Mizuki sobers up and thinks “this would soooo go in the dead wife montage.”

The thing of it all is that trying to get everything they want out of life out of each other will never satiate them, the world of two people is only moderately less tiny than that of one and the things they want are far too big to fit in that, but the familiar comfort of stagnation and defeatism is appealing, to convince yourself things are fine as they are because change is scarier, it’s easier to delay being and not being with a friend just as fucked as you, to do nothing instead of choosing to truly live with all that entails or choosing to die. Like, there isn’t a world where Mizuki and Rui keep the exact relationship they had in middle school and become happy, because their lives at large were not happy and they didn’t possess the tools to do much to spur the other to happiness, they can’t pull each other up by their bootstraps simultaneously. But, of critical importance, their relationship itself isn’t anything inherently unhappy, or failing at being something it’s not. They’re still important to each other, they still like and seek each other out, now that their worlds have expanded and they’re far closer to grasping the things they want. So long as they’re not both at rock bottom, they’re not going to be each other’s quote unquote number one, no matter the timbre of their relationship, but that’s not a flaw or anything to be rectified. I really like that about them.
Ex-fiancées mizurui, obsessed with the image of costume jewelry. Like after their initial ring-pop engagement and subsequent annulment upon consumption, Rui finds herself buying dirt cheap costume jewelry for a show, and she sees a pretty piece that reminds her of Mizuki. So she gets it, and next time she sees Mizuki she casually puts a velvet box in her hands, to Mizuki’s bewilderment at Rui giving her nice(-looking) actual jewelry before Rui specifies it’s costume, to which she sighs an oh thank god. “Is this as another proposal?” “I suppose you could take it that way.” So now they’re engaged again. Mizuki makes her an accessory/piece in return, and giving it to Rui frames it as a proposal again. “I’m flattered, Mizuki, but I don’t think you can propose if we’re already engaged?” “Wait, I totally forgot about that. Let’s break up.” “Aw, alright.” “Now that we’re officially broken up, will you marry me, Rui?” “Hehe. Sure.” So now the bit is getting engaged every single time they give each other a gift, only partially keeping track of if they were engaged or not beforehand so they also break up immediately before the proposal. And often after.
