We are no longer alone, waiting for the night, waiting for Godot, waiting for⌠waiting. All evening we have struggled, unassisted. Now itâs over. Itâs 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.
Iâm 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, itâs what Iâm referring to with any mention of Godot or waiting or ânothing to be doneâ.
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 donât tag a lot of my Mizurui posting on account of being insane, though, so you may also want to search âMizuruiâ or âMizuki and Ruiâ without the hashtag on my blog if you want to see the full picture of my illness.
Specific scenarios:
#transfem rui - Wouldnât it be awesome if Rui were transfem. Iâm ill about her.
#mizurui yuri - Wouldnât 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. Iâm ill about them.
#nothing sweeter than bitter almonds - College roommates Mizurui where Mizuki blatantly puts almond extract in Ruiâs food to make him think sheâs poisoning him, Ruiâs 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.
#reverieâs getaway - Adult Mizurui situationship roadtrip, wherein Mizuki drops by Ruiâs 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-fiancĂŠes after a proposal and subsequent premarital divorce, featuring a ring pop and elaborate bit. They are not dating beforehand.

when you want to understand what your pink friend is struggling with but she exhibits a pathological degree of avoidant behaviour and dodges your every attempt:
I do rather hope that World Links or another technically distinct but infinitely similar event type wonât return without even more fundamental reworks, but I do rather like WL team building honestly, itâs fun and 4 x unit +1 whatever cards of different types is easier than x unit y attribute flushes. Well, optimally pulling for 4 cards instead of 3 on normal rates does suck. But itâs convenient for kizuna grinding and I like being able to more often than not put my favourite character in my team without sacrificing EB. Anyway, if WL-esque sets with the attribute gimmick ever come back, Iâd quite appreciate it if WxSâ attributes were fittingly colour coordinated. If you give them enough sets of 4 with different attributes it has to happen eventually, legitenuinely bugs the shit out of me that it hasnât happened yet. (8 chancesâ initial 1âs and 3âs, initial, BNW, Sanrio*, and movie 2âs, 2 WLs, and it hasnât happened. Imagine.)
This as tying their respective âtogethers with everyoneâ together⌠itâs soâŚ.. just, like, the two of them imagining a nice future with their friends, and the eight of them in proximity. Itâs really nice.

Mizukiâs Lost Child side story 2 as set up for Rui and Mafuyu conmecting in Anni2 is still so awesome, itâs a really good card story all around. Mizuki hoping that even if Mafuyu was too stressed this time that someday sheâll be able to really enjoy herself if they get to do this again, the cutest ever moment with Rui doing a bit to make Mizuki laugh, Mizuki remembering how awesome the show was and that she and Emu actually first met in an area convo, Rui noting that Emu wanted to make sure Mafuyu had fun and inquiring on the reception on her behalf, and then carrying the care and sentiment of Emu and Mizuki and himself, how much everyone here cares about each other, hoping that someday when Mafuyuâs able to smile as herself Niigo will visit Phennyland again and that WxS will put on an even better performance to ensure it. My pinks and purplesâŚâŚ.
I like how the fanart of Mizukiâs outfit from ena7 is split between whether sheâs wearing leggings or socks. It really is hard to tell but itâs leggings.
I was having a bit of trouble drawing a pose so I was like why don't I pose my unfinished mzri models for reference real quick and then that was 8 hours ago. I did some shit and it doesn't particularly show but I do like this pose and I like watching them spin.
Ultra C and Beyond the Way blend together in my head a bit, not helped by them releasing relatively close to each other, but god both are soooo fucking good. Like Ultra C is just a hair catchier and that Wanna wanna touuuuuuuuuuuuuch down, go all ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut is utterly peak so it tends to supercede my memory of both, but dude Beyond the Way's So burn my burn my heart bit.... both are great gotta love Giga

Lost child is forever gonna be iconic for Mafuyu ripping out a poison ivy IV, thatâs just such potent imagery. The confusion between nurse and patient, IV medicine a necessity for getting better and poison ivy keeping her sick and trapped, whether by ripping it out by force sheâs hurting herself or freeing herself or both, the hospital itself taken by ivy, abandoned and uninhabited and warped and nonsensical in contruction as seen in the other cards, the table Mafuyuâs on looks if anything to be an autopsy table.
I finally finished Waiting for Godot (mostly because of @/friendsinsolitude it feels wrong not to mention that) and this one type of interaction, whatever you call it, between Estragon and Vladimir felt extremely like mizurui to me in a way
Edit because I wrote the original post hastily while powerwalking to work and only included context in the tags to explain what I mean: estragon and vladimir in the play have a frequent back-and-fort talking style of yes-anding around a concrete assessment of their situation; however there's a few moments where estragon makes a full stop on some particular descriptive analogy, whereas vladimir tries to keep their back-and-forth up in the air.
As for here, Mizuki is somewhat the more 'grounded in her own convictions' of the two between her and Rui; Rui will play along to other's paces and cede his own point of view more readily.
...so I think he would just. Let her say they're not friends. Yeah that's not what he would want but he only ever goes as far as support for the most part with her (and with a lot of his friends from what I can tell tbh)
Examples of what I'm talking about in the actual play.
A radio show? By two teenagers alone! At midnight! Asking not to be interrupted while âon airâ! Localized entirely within the Kamishirosâ garage slash Ruiâs de facto room?! [Iâm very amused by what Ruiâs parents might presume about the optics of early days Midnight Showtime, the radio show Mizuki and Rui have in the universe of that connect live, noted to have initially started in Ruiâs garage. I think Rui should needlessly suffer The Talk.]

Every day of my life I think about Mayonaka no Showtime. If it started in Ruiâs garage then has Mizuki met Ruiâs parents? They steal the Nightcord at 23:30 bit about âMidnight Showtimeâ starting midday, and Mizuki complains that her relevance to the name would disappear if it were aptly titled, so the âmidnightâ is more than likely symbolic of her extant affiliation with Nightcord (and the âshowtimeâ to Rui and WxS, but thatâs more generic), but like, had it ever actually been at midnight and the midday timeslot was a pivot made when things started picking up in that universe? I think the potential optics of Rui bringing Mizuki to his garage slash de facto room at midnight on the regular as observed by his parents would just be really really funny. Especially when the âradio showâ is eventually proven real by its astronomical success garnering 80% of the population of Japan listening in.
