🍎 Manzanita, 23, lesbian (any prns), strawpage here!

prsk blog, nightcord fan, I love mizuki and am a niigo multishipper.

credit art if used please

I only have tumblr and bluesky. I don’t currently have anything else.

I refer to mizuki as a trans girl with she/her pronouns. I am against prosh/p, nsfw/suggestive sekai content, and he/him/boy mizuki, please don’t follow if that applies to you.

I only reblog v3tted fundraisers, please consider helping out if possible 🇵🇸

I never thought I'd see avemuji art from you SO I'd like to ask: what are your feelings on everyone, avemuji and mygo? do you have a specific favorite?

hi!! i didn’t even expect to get so attached so quickly, i was so sure this would stay a sekai-only acc for the foreseeable future ^^; i only watched avemygo this month with a friend and got so hooked, i love the music and character writing… i personally find i got more attached to every character in mygo than i did ave mujica. it’s easier to rank favorites in the latter but i truly struggle to in mygo because i loved them all so much and almost equally. of course, this probably was an intended effect? considering the general themes of both series’.

raana and soyo are my biggest mygo favs ^^ to me i think raana is also very much autism coded like tomori seems to be and it was kind of heartfelt for me to see. i also watched that raana focused movie before avemuji and i just am so endeared by her. i think she’s so adorable and silly and i love her interactions with the others especially taki. i also found soyo’s character writing so compelling and i love flawed characters like her, and how she was in avemuji particularly with mortis made me like her even more. i think it’s so intresting to make a character who could read as having a stigmatized disorder herself become so immediately protective over another girl with a heavily misunderstood disorder.

i adore tomori, i think she’s so sweet and she made me so sad sometimes. i love when there’s a girl who is awkward in a way that feels genuine rather than intentionally trying to be cutesy. anon is so hilarious to me, we need more loser overconfident girls who are kind of a little stupid. every dynamic she had with others was so good. i genuinely can’t pick a third favorite of them two especially. and i love taki. i don’t have much more to add about her but i love her just as much. everyone in that band will not give her a break (except tomori. everyone loves tomori.)

for avemuji, i felt there was an entirely different vibe and that obviously was the point. but mutsumi (and mortis) are my absolute favorites of both shows. i felt so comforted and emotional seeing their whole arc and was so stunned at how well written she was, i never would’ve expected that level of care and nuance that it also made me feel an odd sense of hope for as dreary as the series was. DID when represented in media often focuses on the perspective and thoughts of outsiders and how it can look scary or unusual to them and become a spectacle (and often written poorly and fundamentally misunderstood), but we got to see the dynamic and relationship between mutsumi and mortis and it got me so bad i started crying. i could write a whole essay on everything i loved about them because there’s just so much.

i loved sakiko also. poor thing. one thing i loved about avemuji was how it made everything that was left unexplained or ambiguous in mygo just click instantly and you see sakiko and mutsumi’s side of the story and everything just seamlessly makes sense in an instant. i felt so bad for her and i like how clumsy and messy and flawed she was, like with how she initially handled mutsumi and mortis but genuinely cared.

no one get mad at me, but admittedly i haven’t yet personally entirely shaken off the discomfort of uika to feel much about her beyond that ^^; of course i get that was the whole point since it’s more psychological horror and all… i will say i think her singing voice is amazing. i just think someone should get her immediate help. i am interested in umiri’s character because i love when girl characters look like shadow the hedgehog and she was unwell. i’m currently kind of neutral on nyamu but i thought she was a good addition to their group dynamic. maybe when they have a liiittle more depth i’ll have more to say on them…

i do appreciate the contrast of the two series, where mygo was a lot more tight knit even with their conflicts, ave mujica had so much conflict and mess. overall my most fav was mutsumi/mortis, i love raana and soyo on about an equal level, i loved a lot of the dynamics, both bands are also my exact music taste so that was SO fun… that’s a lot of my thoughts character-wise right now!! i am interested in learning more about bandori after how hooked i got…

our unlikely hero

happy ending

[appledoves]

Your recent rannamortis art is absolutely adorable! Your depiction of the two is very delightful and beautiful, consistent with canon and full of so much love. I may just print it out and hang it up on my wall!! 😢 I'm looking forward to potentially seeing them more within your style! I'd love to see an art piece of how you interpret Mortis and Mutsumi's relationships someday. ❤️💚 - Bonibell

thank you so much!! i haven’t drawn anything bandori before so i’m glad it’s been received so well ^^ mutsu/mortis have definitely become one of my favorite characters ever so i’d love to draw them more in the future. :]

the dissociative kanade stocks have never been higher

[appledoves]

so since it’s been a year… see how she lovingly puts the bracelet on her left hand? the card being called “to be there with you”? her saying how it’s a way to always feel like they’re together even when apart, and how she’d like all of niigo to wear it? Marriage Proposal Symbolism. this is another classic running away / elopement mizumafu moment because of mizuki giving this to her right before she has to go see her mother… even when she’s with her, mafuyu still always has a place with mizuki and niigo to run away to safety towards, without her mother’s approval…

[appledoves]

when you and the girls (and len) are singing about your trauma reactions and internal repressed mental struggles and dissociated mind and sense of identity but you still gotta be cute about it

[appledoves]

niigo tomodachi life ltd au ena keeps trying to get her mafuyu mii to fall in love with her mii but she keeps dodging her hearts and rejecting her.

meanwhile mizuki has three separate island saves just so all of niigo can fall in love with her. and they do immediately and she’s over there like “heheheheh… >:3” all quiet and smugly to herself.

[appledoves]

the wait for this game is killing me. say hi to her.

[appledoves]

we moved on from ikiru WAY too quickly… the perfect most fitting kanamizu cover ever. a cover where kanade says “daisuki” while singing a line that basically directly says “i want to keep living because i love you”, and you want me to be normal about this??? you want me to forget this??? ESPECIALLY BECAUSE i wouldn’t doubt with the way duets go, mizuki will probably sing the same line in the full version. and thinking how we’ve since had the endless kanamizu parallels being hammered into our heads where kanade now is in the same place mizuki once was, keeping a distance but yearning for connection. AND YOU WANT ME TO MOVE ON FROM THIS???

kanamizu being people who’ve isolated themselves and their burdens and wanted to give up on life but still keep going because they can’t help but love so dearly and they really are afraid of being alone again, even if sometimes that manifests unhealthily, even if sometimes they fall into self-loathing because of it, seeing themselves as selfish. they still love niigo and learn to love life with them.

so. why is kanade more distant than mafuyu and ena’s scenes here. like i suppose she’s furthest but why does she look hurt. why are her hands like that. how about her being framed in the center there. Hey? Hey can anyone hear me?

[appledoves]

i thought about you as soon as I saw we had a Kanamizu lineup for Mizu7 (you’re kind of my kanamizu reference now)

how are you feeling.

LOVE being the kanamizu spokesperson…

i have NOT been normal since the announcement. mizuki in the warm lighting with a door leading out to her bright freedom and future, happily facing herself in the mirror? meanwhile kanade’s card is in the outdoors yet feels so lonely and cold in comparison, her sitting alone with an empty swing besides her, lost in her thoughts and looking aimlessly at the open sky like a bird stuck in a cage that’s open? kanade, who has had mirror symbolism in D/N/A’s music video, where she blocks out her reflection with her hands and looks away, and in her kana6 card, where it doesn’t reflect herself but shows her mafuyu? kanade who can’t face herself?

kanade, who is afraid of what’s left of her if niigo leaves? mizuki, who spent so long unable to think about her future, too. who spiraled if she did for even a second, unable to stand thinking about even a week ahead, now finding a new meaning in life and wanting to move forward and bring niigo along with her, but kanade also is only stuck in the present because she’ll spiral if she looks too far ahead or behind, and only sees herself being left behind?

i haven’t read it yet, but even if the event is more focused on mizuki’s growth (which i think is so amazing and such a beautiful path for her anyway), the tragic parallels are still very much parallel-ing and i love that so much.
