My sibling has been talking about a rui card she plans on getting. It's this super pretty steampunk one, and because of it I've decided that I want to make a mizurui steampunk AU. I've come to hear if you have any info about that card I should know or literally any ideas for this thing otherwise :3 Like what would mizuki be doing in steampunk. What does she even do in canon actually. What does rui do??
ohOhOhOHOH FUN FUN QUESTION!!! first off i know what card your sibling is talking about and i am also pulling for it!!! tell her i wish her the best of luck with her pulls🫡 BUT IDEAS!!
so this is the card, right. super pretty and steampunky BUT ALSO it has the whole nature taking over architecture vibe, WHICH I FUCKING LOVE. very rain world esque but i dont think you know anything about that game so thats a pointless comparison to make but i digress. SO i think a post apocalypse angle would be super fun for an au like this! abandoned cities, vines growing over cogs, collapsed bridges, the like.
sooo for what rui could be doing.... hes already an inventor canonically and the card is very inventor-y so,, probably chillaxing and making automatons and shit? sorry i have to admit im not like. super into steampunk. i like the aesthetic but im not very well versed in anything besides the vibes bUT i do love me a post apocalypse. so i can imagine him holing up in like an abandoned city and slowly rebuilding it himself? with all the fun steampunk shit you can think of.
as for mizuki!! she doesnt have any especially steampunky cards but there are these two that give me ideas
they make me think like. clockwork/wind up doll? so maybe mizuki could be some kind of automaton?? maybe rui makes her or just stumbles onto her while exploring or something.
but if you don't like that one! mizukis second focus set has the whole theme of 'wanderers' and while that specific set doesnt fit the vibes really (its much more fantasy) i think a post apocalyptic wanderer is always a fun idea! lots of room for a mysterious past..
anyway these are all just ideas so if you dont like any of them or wanna do your own thing you should... also i know i kinda strayed from steampunk sorry😔i just really like post apocalypse
as for what mizuki and rui do in canon. .. its kinda funny how vastly different they are. mizuki is the animator for n25 so she makes all the music videos but they only ever meet up at 1am because theyre weird little freaks so she does her job like once a day in the middle of the night. she also skips school like 60% of the time because shes a silly goof . so she spends a lot of her time sewing or going to the mall or like. watching anime. or having a mental breakdown. shes cool like that
RUI meanwhile. has like. a full time job? in his troupe? and they run off of looney toons logic. the suspension of disbelief you need for wxs is. um well he writes, directs, makes props for, acts in, rehearses for, and puts on entire productions. and goes to school. and still, somehow, has freetime. i will never figure it out. but basically what he does in canon is blow shit up and launch tsukasa out of cannons. also sometimes he does normal things i guess
sorry this is a completely unrelated side tangent. but did you know that akito is the only character who canonically has dyed hair. he canonically bleached that dumb little blond streak into his hair and everyone elses hair color is natural. rui has bright purple hair with teal streaks. mafuyus hair is purple and so is her moms. its?? genetic? the purple hair is genetic.
SIDE SIDE tangent. emus family is the funniest thing ever. observe
THEY GET LESS PINK. THE MORE SERIOUS YOU ARE THE LESS PINK. its so fucking funny that they added that detail i hate this game
