mizisua commentary

you are missing the point. mizi stays hitting sua, that’s not anything new, and no one is actually romanticizing the abuse when they understand it to be “abuse.” mizi retaliating physically when you can tell that would have never crossed her mind prior was an example of an abuser speaking through a victim. her mother would lash out at mizi and then drape herself over her in an apology, and the point is that mizi is terrified of becoming that. it wasn’t an excuse for her to raise a hand to sua, because there isn’t one, but it is an explanation for why that moment is framed with so much horror. mizi is absolutely horrified that she raised a hand to sua and ran off from what was most likely their last meeting before she was (again, most likely) attacked in that alleyway by that infected limping after her.

it was very obviously commentary on not just the pressure of the idol industry cracking mizi but also a manifestation of that hurt mizi was trying to make sua understand in the other alien stage universe. mizi had been violent since her childhood and we even saw sua not even bat an eye at the rat she gutted. the difference is that mizi’s violence was never directed at sua until she was pushed to an emotional breaking point under impossible circumstances.

these characters are constantly being placed in extreme conditions (alien dystopian popularity contests and now infected undead) which are very obviously a vehicle for exploring the actual sociopolitical pressures queer women, especially lesbians, are forced to endure. no one is saying mizi hitting sua was okay, and no one is romanticizing it because the narrative itself doesn’t romanticize it. mizi is immediately disgusted with herself.

i also think people who consume alien stage media are severely lacking in media literacy…. mizisua is toxic, yes, but 1) it isn’t as if mizisua is onesided toxicness, both mizi and sua are bad for each other and both equally harm one another and 2) mizi and sua are unhealthy for each other *because* of the world they grew up in. maybe in healthier circumstances, with better upbringings and without society’s mistreatment of them, they’d meet on better terms and have a healthy relationship. but mizi and sua’s treatment of one another is mostly tempered into them by the world around them, and not necessarily their natural dispositions.

also, just to me, like…. i don’t really care about whether or not a relationship/character is toxic? like that’s never been the point of consuming media, being an altruist when it comes to enjoying characters or not. i think it gets to a point, and some characters i do dislike bc of their actions, but sometimes i like the messy relationships because i think the lens in which they are explored is deeply interesting. alien stage in particular is where i see this… the point is not about whether or not your fav ship is toxic or not it’s about how the entertainment industry is soul-sucking and will literally kill idols for enjoyment

#alien stage #mizisua #alien stage meta #alienstage fans on twt and tiktok stress me out #anyways mizi they can never make me hate you #i. will always understand her forver

Shout out to that one tumblr post that was like: "You know it's not just trans people who ponder their gender, it's healthy for cis people to take a look inside and be like! Yep that's all good!" And I read this post and was like.... like what do you look at inside though T O T??? I asked my boyfriend how he knew he was a boy and he said he just felt this unexplainable intrinsic feeling he was a boy... and I'm like... I HAVE GENUINELY NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT WTF 😭😭😭!!!!!!!! So apparently its like. Normal for people to feel this inexplicable 'Gender' feeling or whatever,,, I feel like how asexual people feel when they discover people around them aren't making up the fact they experience sexual arousal T O T

Obviously all my sciency stuff is just speculation! But I'm the type of person who believe that everything has a rationale behind it, and like an adopted child who is curious about their biological parents, I just am just interested in my origins! The field of genetics still is mostly just like,,,, hmmm we think this whatever MIGHT be a contributing factor to a person turning out this way... maybe. If you are more interested in the topic I discussed, just look up 'Genetic Memories in Animals' and there should be some more stuff OuO!

I'd love to hear how this 'inexplicable gender feeling' feels to gendered individuals! For those willing to share, I'd love to listen!

#this is a great exploration of gender….#and how gender can mean so many things!
