📍 what do you think, everyone?

ey/em/eirs, adult

Hello hello~ Welcome to my Umineko sideblog! I use this to reblog spoiler content for arcs 6-8 as well as post my own spoiler content (mostly fanart and general thoughts).

My main blog is klug.

My art blog is eudaemonix.

This is a sideblog so I can't follow back but feel free to follow my mains and have a chat with me!

I've also read all of the "core" Higurashi arcs, unfortunately I have little interest in reading/watching any extras at the moment...

Currently reading... Ciconia no Naku Koro ni

Plan to read... Umineko manga, Rose Guns Days

Tags and other info can be found beneath the cut.

Characters are all tagged by their first name, except for the culprit at the moment.

text posts #reasoning

my art #my art

content unrelated to art (usually memes/shitposts what have you) #mine

spoilers (includes culprit reblogs) #spoilers but I might not tag these because this is a spoiler centric blog.

My favorite characters are Yasu/Beato, Erika, Bernkastel, Rosa, and Maria.

My favorite ships are EriYasu (0634/🕷️🦋), DlanEri LambdaBern, BeaBato, YasuBato, EriAnge, and WillLion

I do not fuck with people that fetishize incest or pedophilia. I like YasuBato but I'm normal.

I interpret Yasu as intersex, transfem, and having some form of polyfragmented dissociative identity disorder. Shannon, Kanon, Lion, Beato, and Gaap are just a few of her alters.

 I have a dissociative identity disorder and understand the implications of interpreting Yasu this way. However I am perisex and TME (but nonbinary) so please let me know if any way I frame the work is offensive in some way.

I understand that this is not the lens everyone interprets the character through, but these are my interpretations so understand that the language I use for her will reflect these.

Posted this super short one-shot about Sayo with some Shannon/Kanon in there but it's not really a shipping fic and more akin a crude thought experiment i wrote in one day for a feeling I've been struggling to articulate

Meow and 12!!

Encore Dance - MIMI

[detectivesauthority]

Meow and Miyao are really really interesting. I get the vibe that their body is AFAB but I do really like that R07 has somehow written two characters that feel simultaneously like a trans boy and a trans girl...?

It is not the same situation for me, but it resonates with me to a degree because of how weird gender is internally versus how it maps to the body when fronting.

That said I still dislike R07's gender politics and the crazy amounts of gender essentialism contained within Ciconia as a story... Like, I think he supports gay/trans people but he hasn't really stopped to reexamine his biases I guess. the sexist moments in ciconia don't even feel like they're being criticized but rather there as like, a given? So many parts of ciconias worldbuilding feel very underbaked to me

[detectivesauthority]

No explicit story spoilers, just talking about the topics presented in Ciconia.

I've been reading through Ciconia, and honestly, ryukishi's inability to think about the political climate of the world outside of his perspective as a 40 year old Japanese man is *really* making it hard to read. I think he's criticizing some things really well, namely how the criticism of eugenics, how we educate children, treat children as property (and literally weapons in the context of Ciconia), but he's absolutely faltering in other areas like his criticism of why people hate immigrants, why they leave their home countries in the first place, and how we reconcile (bigoted) cultural differences.

The bit about immigration sticks with me the most because I'm Filipino. People don't leave because they're propagandized to dislike their country, they leave because they are being exploited by other countries for the export of cheap labor? And this is a result of occupation and colonialism? I don't know if it will actually touch on colonialism and imperialism in a broader sense but so far I'm not really impressed with the actual political writing. It all just feels like it hasn't been thought out and it's just set dressing for a story about communication in an increasingly interconnected world, and how that communication directly affects us.

happy umineko days(s)!!!!!

[detectivesauthority]

The Quadrillion Cafe they're having in Japan next year looks sooo cute. I love that they even say this is an in-universe thing where orphans of the Fukuin house work before they can get to work in the Ushiromiya household properly. I love the uniforms too it seems that Ryukishi designed them haha
