Colorful Palette just adds the most heart-wrenching dialogue into pjsk before promptly scurrying off as if I'm not rocking back-n-forth sobbing my eyes out rn I was reading the first side story of Kanade's 2* card from the Guiding a Lost Child to What Lies Beyond event and got hit with

It's okay... Because you found me again, Kanade... Huh...? Mafuyu, if you're okay with that person being me, I'll keep finding you as many times as you need...

HUUUUUUHHHH?????????? I'M SORRY HWAT ??? COME AGAIN?????

if i ever type :3 then don't worry I'm still good but if you ever see me type >:3 then be careful , I'm being evil

Thinking about this too now because Milgram Fucked Me Up with pomegranate imagery 🔥🔥

Typically, they're used to symbolize fertility, death and immortality, while in Japan those last two get swapped out for abundance and the cycle of life. In jewelry, though, like I'd say he's wearing, they're usually used to express new beginnings, such as when somebody is getting married or expecting a child.

In Japan, pomegranates have a special cultural significance due to being connected to Hariti, the goddess of fertility and healthy childbirth, though she is also recognized as a female demon of misery and unhappiness towards children and parents in many folk traditions. Her story is about, essentially, learning to empathize with the suffering of others.

Now, how does this correlate to Rui? Lowkey, zero clue. Hariti's story of learning to empathize with the suffering of others calls to mind Rui's bloomfes card where he states that because he's suffered, he can be kind to people, though that's all I can really say.

Even though it wasn't in your initial post, he's wearing a ring on each hand, which I also want to talk about. On his right hand, he is wearing a ring on his pointer finger, which is typically used to symbolize leadership, authority and self-confidence, though it is also used as a symbol of accepting leadership from other people due to it being a passive hand. On his left, he has a ring on his middle finger, which is more commonly associated with balance, though is also used to symbolize power, responsibility and stability.

Also. The flowers. Because I fucking LOVE flower imagery!!!!!!!!!!

I reckon that the flower on his chest is a chrysanthemum, which are suitable funeral flowers in Asian countries, specifically when white. I believe that it's also notable that these are the same flowers that were used in LUTF, specifically due to their correlation with being funeral flowers. The flower he has, however, is red and thus largely symbolizes love and passion, strength of power, determination and courage. In Japan, chrysanthemums are considered auspicious and a symbol of success, too. As a whole, they still retain a connection to the idea of a long life, rebirth, and heavy grief in Asian countries.

The flower on his hat could be a rose considering its shape, which is also famously a flower of romance. A white and red rose is used to symbolize enduring love that is both passionate and pure, the bonding or unity between two people, and can convey a message of unity or reconciliation. And again, white roses are often used as a funeral flower due to symbolizing eternal love and new beginnings.

with that, I bid farewell. do what you will with my yapping Goodbyebye

nobody is talking about the pomegranates on rui’s 2* costume what is up guys.

honami gets apples and nene gets grapefruits bc they’re their respective fav fruits (well honami’s apple pie technically)

meiko grapes i cannot place to save my life. related to wine probably

ichika blueberries… makes sense she’s blue

RUI… POMEGRANATES… ig he already got grapes for island panic 🧍‍♀️ but still i can only think of the greek myth of persephone where she eats a pomegranate in the underworld and is forced to stay with hades… like wtf why pomegranates what’s up sega

i am DEFFO looking too much into it but like… why pomegranates???? the outfit’s swatch doesn’t even look that good on him 😭

I've seen something similar to this where Tsukasa has a crush on Rui and the plushies in the sekai start to become more physically affectionate with him

i love the fact that the wonderlands sekai is created from tsukasa's feelings, and i like to imagine how much his feelings can affect the sekai and vocaloids that inhabit it.

for instance, usa-chan is in the sekai, but what else? do you think there are some of rui's robots? like the dragon one from their new years show, or the zombie ones from the halloween show. it's so fun to think about.

i imagine if tsukasa had a crush on rui (using him as an example because i love rks), it would affect the vocaloids, especially miku and kaito, since they are the two that are the most strongly connected to the sekai. would miku become more clingy as a manifestation of tsukasas thoughts and feelings? would kaito tend to pay more attention to him? (obviously neither in a romantic way between them and rui, as they are just tsukasa's feelings.)

also, since tsukasa was able to create an entire world, do you think his feelings would be able to manipulate the sekai? if he was going through a hard time, would it become a bit more empty?

again, if he had a crush on rui, would it be able to create a small space just for them two? a place for them to relax and cuddle and all things like that? i love the idea of that and i need to know how much of an influence tsukasas feelings have on the sekai, especially because he is the sole creator of it.

hii 40 Tumblr followers, I am shamelessly self-promoting my other socials =3

does anyone else ever think about the fact that maybe the reason behind Tsukasa's Sekai being the first to have all six Virtual Singers in it is because of how lonely he was as a child so they manifested faster than the other Sekai's VS's because he subconsciously feared being alone

i saw a tweet like this on Twitter and one of the top replies was, "Rui's not into twinks, he's into MEN" and i think that's funny

i think rui has a very specific type in men

idk who did these translations, but i took the image from @KASAPLUSH1E on twitter. if anyone knows who did these, let me know so i can add their credits

I think we should talk about Leo/Need more

During middle school, Ichika had to deal with Saki being hospitalized then having a falling out with Honami and Shiho directly after due to Shiho and Honami both becoming victims of bullying and not wanting to drag Ichika down with them. Ichika didn't even get an explanation as to why Honami and Shiho were leaving her either, she just got told "I don't want to be your friend anymore." and it got left at that. Even though Ichika still attempted to reach out, she got little in response and became extremely lonely as a result. Ichika blamed herself for the groups falling out and carried a lot of guilt about it for years; she felt listless and empty. She felt even guiltier since she was hiding the fact from Saki, who was already lonely and isolated enough as it was due to being hospitalized. Ichika spent 2 years all alone, no other friends, trying to get Shiho and Honami to talk to her, but all her efforts were fruitless. All she wanted were her childhood friends back During middle school, Honami was a big people-pleaser due to the overwhelming fear of being hated by other people. She was bullied because she had the tendency to befriend and show sympathy for people in different friend groups and avoided picking sides, to the point that she was accused of sucking up to others to avoid being hated and was called two-faced. She was treated as an outcast in her class. Once the next school year rolled around, she was afraid of being bullied again by her new classmates and only hung out with a small group of people, and subsequently, she started avoided Ichika and Shiho. Even after she started hanging out with that small group of people, Honami became wary that she'd be ostracized and hated all over again if she even made one small mistake. In one of Kanade's side stories, Honami admitted that she had the desire to "disappear" before. During middle school, Shiho preferred solitude and being by herself. She'd reject her classmates invitations to hang out, and ultimately, people started talking bad about her due to her aloof demeanor. Shiho didn't mind the gossip or rumors, but once people started talking bad about Ichika as well by default since she hung out with Shiho, Shiho pushed Ichika away and distanced herself from her in order to protect her. Since Honami was being bullied as well during that time, the two gradually grew apart once they both decided to stop interacting with the friend group. Shiho was in the light music club during middle school, and got frustrated due to the members lack of work and dedication. Once she brought it up, the club got into an argument which subsequently caused them to split up, only further worsening Shiho's reputation. She didn't mean to hurt either Ichika or Honami, all she wanted to do was protect them from getting hurt by her bad reputation. During middle school, Saki was hospitalized all throughout the duration of it due to her weak body and chronic illness. She was bedridden for days on end, and was extremely isolated and lonely. She questioned why she was the way she was, and was extremely jealous of people who could experience life normally. She never got to experience things like playing tennis, travelling or even going to school due to her poor health. Outside of immediate family, Ichika was the only one to visit her in the hospital, which she deeply appreciated. Whenever anyone visited her, Saki put on a brave face and smile so she wouldn't further upset anybody, despite how empty and hurt she was deep down inside. She'd spend her days crying without anyone there to comfort her, and often worried that she'd never get better. While in the hospital, she was completely oblivious to the groups falling out since nobody ever told her, and she only realized after being discharged from the hospital. Instead of making fun of Leo/Need for not being the most visually striking and having "boring" personalities, I think you should actually read their group stories, cause all of their lore is really interesting

Sometimes I think about Tsukasa and his quite desperate craving for attention and external validation A big part of Tsukasa's character is how he's overflowing with confidence and enjoys being the center of attention (which is quite literally stated in his in-game profile), and while his need for validation can be stemmed from the fact that he's a star and that "stars should always bask in adoration", it can also stem back to a lot of his experiences during childhood. In his second focus event, On This Stage Of Dazzling Lights, it's revealed that Tsukasa was often left by himself at home due to the fact that his parents had to attend to Saki while she was being hospitalized. And while it's clear that this was in no way intentional because his parents didn't have much of a choice, this still does count as a form of child neglect. We can take into consideration Shiho and Shizuku's childhood experiences, because despite the fact that their parents were busy with work and couldn't take care of them often, they were still being watched and taken care of by their grandmother. And now in comparison to Tsukasa, he was left at home by himself for presumably hours to watch and take care of himself, all at the tender age of 7-years-old.

Obviously, you can see the problem with this. Oftentimes when a child isn't receiving enough attention at home, they'll begin excessively craving it, even negative attention. This is often the case for when children are lonely, too. Despite his insistence, we can make a case for Tsukasa being lonely as well. While this was changed a bit in the English server, seen in flashbacks in On This Stage Of Dazzling Lights, Tsukasa says that Saki, who can't be at home, "is more lonelier than he is".

Based on the way he phrased this, it can be inferred that he too felt lonely, but was just attempting to convince himself otherwise. In the first side story of his Big Brother's Agony card, Saki says "Hehe. I know you're not alone anymore, but I couldn't help myself..." after seeing that he was still awake late at night. This could be implying that he felt alone, but it could also be taken in a literal sense, and could be taken as her saying that he isn't physically alone anymore because she and their parents are at home with him now. Now, combine how he was neglected and his presumed loneliness together, and what does that get you? A need for attention and validation !!! And as I mentioned previously, this trait of his can be passed off as something he wants only because he's a star, and obviously stars should bask in attention and validation, but I feel like there's a line between wanting something because it should come naturally and genuinely craving something, if that makes sense. His need for attention and validation is so apparent that his classmates have watered him down to an "attention-seeking troublemaker", and he's shown to want to be praised for even small things too, such as coming up with a good idea.

But anywho, that is all, so thank you for coming to my ted talk. thumbs up emoji
