To be exactly only me

Okay? Why tell us this? What's the point of coming into a space where people are using accurate vocabulary for describe the systemic oprression and social discrimination they face to subtly mock the vocabulary? It doesn't matter if you don't mean it as mockery, it is still a childish comment that completely details the conversation, as everyone is now invested in educating the binary person who doesn't know nonbinary language or school the person making a joke out of it. Maybe this is just a pet peeve of mine, but it's profoundly irritating nonetheless.

You only have one life, not 9, and you should make the most of it, not spend it doing the same thing over and over and being afraid of pain or change or hardships. You will never truly experience life if you don't experience all parts of it. That is such an important thing to me and this song really touched my heart

in static and spoken for, the singer's design didn't really change. there was like one frame of miku looking different, but otherwise the art style and depiction of miku and teto was consistent. miku does not want to change, and teto cannot change.

in human, miki's design goes from a loose sketch to being fully coloured and shaded, mirroring how she develops into a full person.

in ego renegade boy... well yeah, i'd say that the singer's design changes A LOT. the style that he's drawn in never changes, because he's still the same person at his core, but the contrast between pre- and post-transition is very obvious. we also effectively only see the previous design in a "flashback" (rin's verse) - we see hints of it in len's parts, but always concealed in some way (shadowed face, chalk outline).

in streetcat, iroha alternates between a silhouette and full colour. she knows that she wants to live as herself, but adjusting to that is scary - she's flipping back-and-forth between housecat and streetcat. in the end, the song settles into full colour, because she's let go of her fear.

iroha wants to live freely even if it hurts, even relishing in the pain to some extent because it signifies a life well lived

she doesn’t want to be caged and restricted and comfortable forever. she wants to be able to live life and be proud of her scars in the end instead of looking back and regretting all the things she didn’t do

these r themes that rlly resonate w me as a disabled person. i feel like sometimes society has this underlying sentiment that disabled people shouldn’t have the choice to put themselves at risk the same way abled people do, because it increases the perceived “””burden””” that they place on society. you can’t win. if it’s painless they tell you you’re not Really Disabled. you push too hard or flare up and they blame you because You Should Know Better and Its Your Fault. they want us to stay out of sight and out of mind so they dont have to remember we exist
