Hey so guys I donāt think Bon Bon Jellyfish Planet is Sua's second sub song at all, I think itās Miziās second. Thematically speaking at least. Bear with me here.
ālonely jellyfish, softly floating high
looking up at the sea of stars in the sky
with a tiny, glassy heart, seeking love so warmā
Thatās pretty clearly about Mizi - she never had many friends, and pretty much all of them are dead. She was obviously closest with Sua who died first. Ivan was (or at least could have been? the canonicity of that one drawing on Vivinosā insta is dubious but it def came from somewhere) and now heās dead.
Mizi didnāt know Hyuna for very long but they were still friends, and sheās dead too. Till is the only one of her friends who survived, and she doesnāt even know that for sure; itās been 7 years since Mizi last saw him, and he had just been shot in the neck. It would be reasonable to assume he died.
But that on its own doesnāt necessarily make this Miziās song; if itās a Sua song itās obviously gonna mention Mizi a lot. The line that really caught my eye is one of the ones near the end:
āfar ahead, I see the jelly star, familiar faces wait for me
purple, green, and scarlet jellyfish
Green and red are Till and Ivan, those colour associations are nothing new. But weāve never seen Mizi associated with purple, at least as far as I know - thatās absolutely Suaās colour. Literally, her eyes are purple. If itās anyone elseās colour itās Lukaās, but thatās only in merch, and both Mizi and Sua would never sing about him.
So either Sua is singing about herself, Till, and Ivan, and excluding Mizi for some reason, or this song is coming from Miziās perspective but Suaās voice.
And where have we seen that before?
What if Bon Bon Jellyfish Planet is a continuation of Miziās guilt manifesting itself as a hallucination of Sua?
Thatās also not the only line in the song that supports this read:
āstarlight bubbles wave and call my name ...
... sparkling lights are waiting there for meā
Itās Till, Ivan, and Sua who are wearing the stars here - not Mizi. Sua tells us this directly right at the beginning - sheās the lonely jellyfish looking up at the stars.
If this song is a manifestation of Miziās guilt, that gives this song a way more sinister vibe.
āstarlight bubbles wave and call my name
if I follow, through the Milky Way
sparkling lights are waiting there for me
friends who shine where I should beā
Miziās friends, who are (presumably) dead, are waiting for her and shining from where she āshould beā.
āsearching for my friends, bubbling away
I donāt want to be alone, Iāll fly awayā
Weāve seen in Witch and her birthday art how she deals with her trauma by indulging in memories and fantasies of when her friends were still alive, because regardless of how horrible Anakt Garden was they were still together.
In conclusionā¦ Oh my god the Alien Stage song was deceptively sad and referenced survivorās guilt, hallucinations, and codependency??? Who couldāve guessed?????
