Another year comes to an end. To think that I'd even be active on this platform by now, was the biggest surprise to me.
This blog barely got any attention last year, where it first started. I had few likes and initially only started the blog to promote my Plasmaverse Fanfictions. And look where we are now...
I came out as a trans gal, made peace with myself, drew even more and made so many OCs. The fact that you all loved them, especially Nui, made me happy. It really did.
Writing wise, I did not write as much as this year. A few plasmaverse fanfictions here and there and some WIPS, along with my favorite fic of the year "Express Yourself". It really showed me that writing isn't about quantity, but quality.
Quality....all my life I thought I needed to achieve a lot. To do many good things. But you know what? What really matters in life are the small things. The small accomplishments and small goals. And I am happy to share them with all of you.
Thank you for sticking around with me. This gal wishes you a happy new year and gives you all Boops. Remember to wave up high and to always strive for a better tomorrow.
My entry for @the-only-teruteru-fan 's contest! I drew their Soudabuki fankid meeting my Soudabuki fankid from another dimension! I think they'd be great siblings.
WARNING. The following analyses contains massive spoilers for V3. You have been warned. This only applies to V3 Mugi and not non-despair Mugi.
Ah Tsumugi Shirogane. Everyone's favorite cosplayer and one of the most underrated characters that there are. I asked ya all whom I should rewrite next, so....ya chose her. Goodie.
Since she's my fav, this is a really special post for me and I hope ya like it too. Meow meow. As always, those are my opinions and you can feel free to disagree with them.
Have fun!
Appearance:
Okay, I would trade her skirt for a pair of long black jeans. She'd also wear a pair of gloves, along with her hair being more kept and she no longer wears her blazer. She still has the same blouse and as for that, I think she looks prettier without her blazer. Is it just me? Or....
In any case, based on my Aphoragender Tsumugi Post she changes her appearance quite a lot, depending on her mood and taste. Either more masculine or boyish. She also has a bag, with all of her items she needs for styling.
Personality:
Tsumugi has in this version, a gentle demeanor. She speaks very softly and slowly and in a sophisticated manner, while also being encouraging and polite. Her otaku tendencies are a bit turned up, as she is often seen writing fan-fiction about random topics and she is not ashamed in doing that, though she is a bit taken aback when someone asks her about her interests.
However that personality of hers, is not a facade. While her true persona is far more cunning and intelligent, she does keep a gentle demeanor throughout and genuinely seems to love her creations. But only as far as the love for a pet would go and she has no problems hurting her "friends" in order to keep the Killing Game going, though she is able to mourn for her friends.
She is a control freak and hates it, when her "pets" don't do as she says. Her "love", while genuine to an extent, is pretty toxic and she will react violently if anyone defies her. In the final trial, she even mimics the survivor's voices, to break them further and yet also give some thin sweet words of encouragement. The only time when she is completely taken aback, is when her participants refuse to play her game. At that point, she suddenly sounds a lot more monotone and empty, while being even more cruel and desperate.
Past:
Now...this one's hard. Especially since V3 has no real clear truth or consistent nature. So I will base it on the idea, if Team Danganronpa really was a thing. Okay?
Tsumugi was once a nameless student, one who was constantly unhappy due to how the world worked. They saw firsthand how cruel life could be and thanks to that, Tsumugi often consumed fiction to escape reality and became obsessed with the idea of becoming someone else. Which is how they got into cosplaying.
Tsumugi is not her real name. It's one of many fake characters she created and she eventually joined Team Danganronpa, because the show gave her comfort for years to come. Danganronpa was the only thing that gave her happiness. Thanks to this, they threw away their past identity and name, to not remember their nightmarish past life.
At first, Tsumugi was hesitant to host death games themselves, but over the years they got used to it and saw it as her way of life. Their morals disappeared over the years and what remains is an amalgamation of masks over masks and false personas. Deep down, all they want is love and to truly be happy and during the final trial when Shuichi rejects them with the rest, they actually look a bit shaken and taken aback, before calmly accepting their fate and the end of the show.
Tsumugi is supposed to show, what happens when you try to fill your life with too much fiction and how hollow it can make you feel, instead of facing your unhappiness dead on. Even though there is no excuse for her crimes, Tsumugi is still a pitiful creature in the end.
Someone, who kept on believing in her fictional lie.
Trivia:
-Tsumugi can mimic voices and builts easily, thanks to her acting and sewing expertise.
-She is actually much stronger than she looks, but hides that behind a petite frame.
-Out of all the characters, she despised Kokichi the most and loved Kaede the most.
-She has no beliefs in rules or norms.
Quotes:
"You have to cosplay with love. Just like with any passion, you have to do what you love, not for the sake of money or external rewards. No...you need to do it for yourself. For yourself and no one else." (Fake Persona)
"Hmm.....Don't be sad, my friends. Look on the bright side. You got so close together and your love for one another will never fade. Like mine towards you. I love you so much." (Semi-True Persona)
"..........And here I was trying to be nice. I won't feel any guilt now, for putting my pets in place. You need to learn some discipline now...And how you should NEVER defy me." (True Persona)
"........I don't get it. I don't understand. You want to escape....and then what? You want to go back to your boring lives? Instead of living in my paradise?" (When the survivors refuse to go along with her.)
"..............You worry too much for that machine. Why bother? It's not even alive. It's just full of scripts. A useless tool. How would Miu say it....'Fucking Junk'." (When Shuichi tries to free Keebo.)
"..................So. This is it then. Well.......good job....Do what you want then." (Tsumugi's final words, before the destruction of the academy)
And that's it. Sorry if this rewrite was just horrible, but....I did my best. Feel free to Like and Reblog and I'll see ya soon.
