Hey uhh... Do you want to show your Sleep Token OCs somewhere? Well I have a place for you..

I had finally made a community group where you can finally show your Sleep Token OCs!

Here is the link:

[acr1ms0n-d3scend]

To all Sleep Token artists, i'm probably bad at compliments.. but I adore your creativity, I adore your artistry. It does not deserve to get taken away because of RCA.

I hope you know that, so keep up with your creativity, and don't stop!

hot take that shouldn’t be hot:

asexual/aromantic/aspec people who are also cis and straight-passing (heteroromantic ace or heterosexual aro for example) should be welcomed and accepted in the queer community

haha yeah thats fine, its fine. And if i threw up about it-

It burned their faces off

One last thought on the new masks.

I've seen a lot of people say they don't like it because they now feel disconnected from the band because you can't see their eyes or facial movements etc. And how that creates distance.

But I'm gonna be honest I think that's partially the whole point. Outside of the aesthetic changing, considering everything that has happened between the release of TMBTE and EIA I'm not surprised if they wanted to introduce some more distance. To give people a bit less to connect with for each of them individually.

No one talk to me, but you know what I mean.

Alien Stage Character Analysis- MIZI (after having read the new comic)

A Very Subjective Interpretation / Impression

I came across a new comic related to this series, and it seems like people are interpreting it in all kinds of ways. As a psych major and enthusiast, I found it really interesting!

I actually had to read it twice to start comprehending exactly what feelings this particular character may convey: here's my personal thoughts and interpretations on Mizi after having read this piece.

In short, what we thought of this character is not something that should be interpreted as a mere "facade" or "a lie" (it's simple enough to see, but I still think that should be brought up as starters.)

Rather, this is actually stemming from Mizi's self-depreciation that she couldn't be as sincere and helpful as she ever wanted to be. It's her desire for sincerity that's causing her these inner struggles and self-mockery.

(oh gosh though.. she reminds me so much of Ai from onk in such a sad way though, what is this trend of bright, cheery looking girls constantly doubting themselves or believing that what they shared with others were lies?? If you like that girl, you see so many things in common regarding what's happening in this particular comic)

Mizi seems to have had the feeling of: “I’m struggling too.”

she tried really, really hard to be that girl who everyone could love. and I think she wanted to be that way not just because she wanted to use others, she thought that was what she could give.

This doesn’t mean Mizi wasn’t pure—it’s actually the opposite. That kind of emotion does genuinely exist in her.

She can truly think things like “That kid who slapped me isn’t actually a bad person,” or “Being with Sua makes me so, so happy.” She really means those things. But there are multiple layers about her. It’s not that she’s being fake—many of her emotions are genuinely felt.

But they’re not coming from a place of being “simply” or “naively” pure.

Let me explain it like this:

Outer Layer (Expression / Facial Features / Outward Behavior): Appears bright, pure, openly expressive, and acts as if she doesn’t understand the full context.

First Inner Layer (Surface-Level Instinctive Psychology): Actually struggling. Stressed. Feels pressured to maintain that outer appearance. That’s why when Sua says, “You have it easy, huh?”(The original KR text for this is "편하지?" which means "you're in a comfortable situation, right." The English version translates this as "It must be nice."), Mizi instinctively slaps her in response. Because it isn't that way.

It was an immediate reflex, stemming from deep emotional pain—like “Sua, even you don’t understand me at all. I thought you would, if nobody else would.” That’s why right after hitting Sua, she’s shocked and cries while apologizing.

and then she begins to think she's "cunning"-

Because, underneath that is the second, deeper emotional layer: self-hate and guilt.

Thoughts like: “I’m not actually as innocent, pure, and all-loving as people think I am.” + “Did I just survive all this time by manipulating others?” These thoughts are intruding in her and getting reinforced the more people die, and she keeps surviving in the rounds.

She’s becoming harsher in her judgment of herself. The guilt and self-loathing are growing intense—especially because she couldn’t save Till.

In the comic, when she says to Till: “I love Sua the most. Is it that hard for you to stop liking me?”, that’s because Mizi truly cares for Till.

She’s saying: “I can’t love you back the way you want. I can’t give you what you hope for. So why do you still like me? Wouldn’t it be better if you didn’t?” This is her opening up. It means she trusts Till enough to show that side of herself and be more truthful about what she can or cannot do.

It’s like saying: “I’m not who you think I am. If you keep liking me, you’ll only be disappointed. Are you really okay with that?”

By choosing to have that honest conversation instead of pretending, she didn’t want to hurt Till. What shows here is that she really does consider Till a friend. Even if her feelings toward Sua and Till differ, Till is still precious to her. She’s saying this because she knows she can’t give Till what he wants.

But when Till responds with something like, “I just think you’re pretty. That’s why I like you…” —he probably meant it in a broader sense: not just her physical appearance, but the beauty he sees in her kindness, her heart.

A dissonance/disconnection between the two happens. Mizi, who was earlier slapped by a boy who liked her for being “pretty,” but got offended by her "pretending to be oblivious and clueless," hears this and interprets it the wrong way:

She thinks: “So even Till likes me because I’m ‘pretty’… That’s the only reason.” She can’t believe that she’s lovable for who she is, so the thought that probably hits her here is:

“Ah… I really am someone who can only survive this way.”

Because everyone expects that from her, and because she’s already become that person in their eyes.

If she were to suddenly show her honest self, it would break all of that. She’d lose her connection to the world.

What’s happening with Mizi is that she doesn’t believe that the genuinely pure and beautiful side of her (the one that shows up in her usual expressions and actions) actually exists within her. Because she feels so much guilt and self-hate.

And that is what she believes is her true self, “ THE TRUE FACE” as portrayed in the title of this comic.

That’s why Mizi now sees all her past actions as:

“I was pretending to be pure to survive. I used that fake purity to manipulate everyone.”

But the truth is—it’s not the whole picture.

At the deepest level (3rd internal layer, her core), Mizi really does want to love others, be bright, be honest.

Other people saw that in her—even more than she did herself and appreciated it, and that’s why they loved her.

The way she acted toward Sua, Ivan, Till, Hyuna—those were all genuine. She always wanted to help them. She earnestly hoped they’d all survive and live happily together with her.

But when things didn’t go that way, the guilt overwhelmed her. And now she believes everyone was fooled by the persona she “made up.” That she was evil and cunning. So now she blames herself.

But how others treated Mizi all along was a reflection of how Mizi treated them. Everyone—Ivan, Sua, Till, Hyuna—really cared for her. That’s because she did always love them sincerely, and that love came through.

Even if Mizi now thinks, “I had such awful thoughts. I was calculating and untrue…”, the other characters would probably look at her now and say: “Oh Mizi… You went through so much. It’s okay. We don't blame you.”

Her tendency to blame herself, feel guilty, and try to meet others’ expectations isn’t selfish. It comes from how deeply she cares about others.

She's really that girl who wants to say, “That kid who hit me wasn’t actually that bad…” That comes from her heart. That’s Mizi’s true kindness.

She really is a good person, with a beautiful heart.

If Mizi had lived an ordinary life, her outward appearance and core inner self would’ve been fully aligned.

But in this series, the situation is so extreme that extra emotional layers got added on top of all that

That doesn’t mean she lacks kindness or her usual cheery brightness.

You know those super cheerful moments in the previous videos or comics— the ones where Mizi looks carefree and innocent?

That is her true nature.

It’s just that, even while she looks that way, she’s also holding a lot of thoughts and feelings inside. It can happen at the same time. Whether consciously or unconsciously, she’s carried those burdens.

And if she had lived in a world where she didn’t have to carry them, those layers might never have formed.

That’s how I interpret it.

Oh, and that one picture where Mizi is smiling over the bodies of the other characters you can find in VIVINO'S youtube channel—

That’s displaying her inner self-hatred and despair.

If everyone else had survived, she would’ve been so much happier. But she survived alone in that horrible situation.

So now she thinks:

“I’m the only one who survived? Wow, look at you. Good job. You got what you wanted by using everyone else, didn’t you?” She’s turning that blame inward. She’s labeling herself as cruel.

It might be a kind of psychological defense or rationalization, but ultimately it’s because she’s suffering.

Of course she is…

If someone came back alive and told her:

“You didn’t survive because you were cunning. You survived because we loved you, just as much as you loved us.” Then I think Mizi could start to heal. But that hasn’t happened—so she can’t.

I really wonder what’ll happen to her...;

Mizi is someone who wants to be kind and deeply understanding.

Her ideals are high— she wants to love everyone, be good to everyone, to not feel hatred, give whatever she can. Her desires do lie in those kindness.

But because she can’t reach those ideals, she thinks she’s a bad person and blames herself. That's what's being portrayed in that particular comic. She's someone who's struggling to be kind and is currently devaluing herself from the mismatch between her ideals and her reality. She deserves to be happy, like everyone else in this series does. And forgive herself regarding what's happened at that, because what's happened is so far from her fault.

THEY WHAT

HUH

OMG.

screaming internally

[acr1ms0n-d3scend]

soooo festival setlist.. what’s the prediction

[acr1ms0n-d3scend]

Defending Sada/Turo from Pokemon

Okay, I get it. We all have different views on the Scarvio professors. You can have different opinions of them. But what you can't do is twist their canon character into making them far worse than they are.

Because it is all about context.

(Granted, I'm gonna be mentioning Sada a lot more, since a lot of people have made outrageous claims against her, yet don't mention Turo despite them being the same character. Even though I mention Sada, I am talking about both professors.)

Also, this isn't an attempt to justify what they did. This is more of a way to explain why they did the things they did, rather than saying "They're terrible people and deserves to die."

"Sada didn't care that Arven got hurt! She ignored him when his Mabosstiff got hurt!"

SHE WAS DEAD.

What can you do at that point?! And if we're going off the idea that Sada died at the beginning of the game, when Koraidon flew out of Area Zero, then yeah. But the thing is, we don't know why she didn't help him. Was she dead? Was she intentionally ignoring him? We don't know, because the game never tells us.

"She gets angry if we mention anything other than her research at the crystal pool-"

WHEN?? WHERE??? If anything, she looks somewhat remorseful at the mention of her son. You can watch the scene again, there is not a HINT of anger in her expressions, her words.

"She neglected Arven and nearly doomed Paldea!!"

Okay, I can agree on that point. Neglect isn't okay, and even with the context she was trying to make a paradise for her and Arven, she still neglected him. Good intentions, yes, but still not okay. Now if she neglected him on purpose (ex: Giovanni with Silver), then yes, that would be a completely different scenario. Obsession is a harmful thing and it can distract you from what's important.

"They're insane/a bitch/crazy!!"

If you're gonna make an analysis post about her character, maybe it's not a good idea to be calling them names and such. Just a thought.

"But Mari! What about your AU? You make Turo/Sada a terrible parent!"

First off, it's an au. Second, I acknowledge that my versions of them are different than canon. I can hate on MD Turo all I want, but I can acknowledge that level of hate shouldn't be directed at the canon versions. And even if someone has an AU where they're good parents, you shouldn't be hating on them and mischaractizing that AU version of them when it's not your AU. If they're good parents in a AU, appreciate that. Not saying that they starved or hit Arven or anything like that.

Again, if you find the post, please don't harass them. That isn't okay.
