I know that you can love me

When there's no one left to blame

So never mind the darkness

We can still find a way

hating taizu just bc they would be "hetero" couple is really weird.... it also ironically neglects mizu's inherent queerness. she presents like a man despite being born a woman. and after her experience with mikio there is little we know about her relationship with her gender. isn't it a little laughable to discredit that aspect of her identity?

i understand hating taigen himself as well. he's a flawed person, but it discredits his character to say he would hate her once he finds out she's not a biological man. or at the very least it discredits his relationship with mizu as a whole--maybe he would be taken back when he knows. but the difference between him and mikio is that taigen genuinely admires mizu's abilities with the sword. they connect with one another on a level that literally has bordered life and death.

taigen doesn't entirely understand himself, and his seeking out his honor reveals bits and pieces to himself. like that he doesn't actually want to be great, just happy. that he is attracted to mizu in a different way than he expected. he has grown a softer with these experiences, as is evident with his softness towards mizu. he cares about her as an individual.

it's immature to call the ship baseless or stupid. i don't personally care whether or not it turns out to be romantic, or if their relationship lasts at all; i just have a bone to pick with the people that simply assumed mizu was sapphic and resent that her narrative is different than what they imagined.

it's also inaccurate to say that mizu doesn't need anyone. it defeats her entire storyline.

what blue eye samurai does well is restore the characters' integeity; in a way, it criticizes the all-consuming nature of ambition. at least, ambition that is fueled by apathy or hate.

mizu's story is about reclaiming identity, softness, and humanity. in a path where she has been dehumanized by everyone, including both akemi and taigen, mizu is being told to hold intimacy, integrity, and love sacred by swordfather and ringo. they admire and love her in ways that are essential to her well-being. that are essential to her growth.

she needs them. she is foolish to think otherwise, she realizes, time and time again, particularly when mizu is reunited with swordfather near the end of s1.

anyway it's almost 12 am and i don't remember where i was going with this

TaiMizu Week is over, but my love for this ship never ends✨️

I just wanted to do a thank-you post for all the love and support my fanarts received (especially the first one!!). It's been a long time since I've done fandom content so I was a little nervous, I'm glad you liked it 😔🩵💚

taigen said "is anyone going to get tortured on behalf of this guy I met three days ago" and didn't even wait for an answer

I love these disasters. Self Hatred vs. Arrogance

[liar-leth]

I hated Akemi at first, but I grew to love her throughout the series. She's quite immature, but it makes her character arc & growth all the more satisfying.

shoutout to mizu for being mizu
