I 100% shouldn’t have stayed up to do this but HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THIS NERD, ALL GROWN UP NOW

I saw someone in the “UN-TAN!” tags mention there’s a 10 hour ‘Moe moe Kyun~!’ video. I wasn’t able to find the 10 hour, but 1 hour will be a 1/10 sufficiency. 

CHALLENGE: Anyone who’s ready to proclaim Mio as best girl must go through this test SHOULD YOU CHOSE TO ACCEPT IT; READY, GO

Hi, it’s me again! I got something in my head for a while now about Mio. I rewatched a few episodes and you can usually  see her with her black film camera, you actually get to see some pictures she took as frames in one of the episodes. When they first go on a training camp, Ritsu shows her the printed pictures and Mio demands the films for those, to which Ritsu answers “they’re digital, there’s no film” (and then dramatically falls unconscious). So I think Mio actually has an interest in photography as an art/philosophy. Not saying digital photography isn’t, but the people who use film as their everyday tool do it for personal liking over digital. It’s a different experience, and I think Mio trying to be as perfectionist as she can be (even though we all see that it’s difficult for her with the light music club around her) fits her and how she likes film over digital. It takes a lot of preparation work to take a good (or correct) picture on film, because you aren’t able to do all the retakes you can when working in digital. Again, I don’t mean digital isn’t as worthy, just that it’s easier to correct your mistakes, and I think that’s what Mio wants to avoid, the feeling of “it’s ok to do it wrong because I can fix it”. Film also has a conservative feeling, as in not prone to change, which also fits with Mio’s personality, specially in the start of the series. I think me being a photographer myself helps on this insight and makes me a lot more subjective about it, but yeah. Mio likes photography, even if it’s just a side hobby, and she doesn’t spend too much money on it (we’ve never seen her with more than a simple hand camera), but she definitely cares about it. Maybe the camera was a present from when she was younger from someone important (Ritsu? I apologize for my shipper heart taking over on that). Good day and thanks for reading!

Oooh, I like this! I know in a few past headcanon asks, I’ve talked about Mio’s photography, but wow I’ve never thought of the difference between digital and film! I really like this! And you’re right, digital really doesn’t seem to fit her. Maybe its also the authenticity of film? The tangibility? Great observation!

And to add to that, I read a quote once saying that what a person decided to take pictures of really reflects how much they cherish the subject. And judging from all of the in-series photographs we’ve seen Mio take, while she does do some still-life in the beginning of the series, pictures of her friends seem to overtake that which would also back up your camera being a present theory.

Thanks, love it!!
