Sp☆ce Explorer Tatis!1!

I know it's been a good minute, but I decided to write some more. This one is more Murder Drones focused.

Word count: 380 (I know these are all short, but they're fun, and a good few of you seem to love these)

like yeah, okay, the mizuena "i want to be with you" sounds romantic. sure. whatever. but why does that have to be romantic? why can't we have in depth discussions about what the simple act of having a friend means for both mizuki and ena? why does it have to be "i want to be in a romantic relationship with you" and not "i want you to remain my dear friend because you reshaped my view of the world"? or for mizuki, "i want you to stay my friend because you make me feel like i deserve to have a friend"?

yeah, minori has a crush on haruka, we all know that. but why does minori's character have to be watered down to a haruka simp? why does it have to be "i love you because i'm in love with you" and not "i love you because you made me realize that i can be something more than the bad luck i was given"? or for haruka, "i love you because you love me enough to see past the idolized vision you had of me in your head"?

akito and toya covered aun no beats during pride month but why why why can't we focus on something other than the fact that they're gay. why can't it be "i trust you more than anything because you are the reason i'm the person that i am today"? why not "if not for you i would have given up a long time ago"?

or rui and tsukasa? "thank you for giving the opportunity to change" is just so. so so important. why should it be strictly romantic and not "i love you because you shook everything up and i'm no longer stagnating and alone"? "you made me realize that i have to consider that other people care for me and that i impact them"?

i feel like this isn't such a problem with leo/need because they're so underrated (at least in the western fandom) and since their dynamic is FOUNDED on friendship specifically, but i still want to see less of "ichisaki and shihonami lesbians" and more of "they know each other so well that they are practically extensions of each other" and "they love each other so much that they are always worried that they're hurting the others".

ofc! i just find it very very odd people do not find how misogynistic it is to see a woman in a pose that IS NOT sexual and automatically reduce it to it being sexual. it’s so insane how people can just get past saying that and why that same logic doesn’t apply to men bc a lot of the time.

Doodle bc this line caught me off guard lol

it's over an hour long, THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING, RIGHT?!?!-

I'll never shut up about how scarily good colopale wrote Mizuki's breakdown (I mean what happened with her during the Mizu5-Ena5 timeskip). Because you're picking Mizuki, a 17yo teenager who suffered rejection and had self-isolation as a copying mecanism. Someone who knows herself so well to actually fear being back at the state she was in the past and someone who's emotional intelligence is actually insane.

I mean, they could have actually just write Ena5 without showing us Mizuki's pov in any of the chapters, but they did, and very well in my opinion.

Because Mizuki collapsed, yes, but (I don't know how to explain this lol) she's a normal person who didn't actually had the courage to "dissapear" and kept destructing herself with her self-isolation, because that was always her way to escape from reality. In other words, for Mizuki has always been:

Self isolation-> Run away from problems = Good ending?

Stay with niigo-> Face the problems -> "They accept me?" Good. They don't? "Self isolation, even if it isn't what I want"
