i hate it when i cant even write a poem about something because its too obvious. like in the airbnb i was at i guess it used to be a kids room cause you could see the imprint of one little glow in the dark star that had been missed and painted over in landlord white. like that's a poem already what's the point

Something I feel like is not being talked enough about regarding N25's WL2 is Mizuki's current situation in the alt timeline. Sure, she appears happy—she gets to do what she loves without fear of judgement and be the person she wants to be—but she is painfully alone.

Mizuki pushes people away and walls herself off emotionally from her peers, literally saying that getting involved like that is too much of a hassle. The only person we see her interact with that she has any kind of implication of closeness or vulnerability is Rui, and even then he's kept away by the distance Mizuki is constantly maintaining between her and the rest of the world. The people she becomes close friends with in the canon timeline (those people being the rest of Nightcord) are nothing more than strangers passing through her life that she speaks to once or twice and then never again.

From what I've learned about the transfem experience, this is a really unfortunate reality for a lot of people. There's a stereotype that a lot of trans women have hobbies that largely keep them indoors and away from people, and this is because these hobbies and lines of work are safe for them. They're forcibly driven out from the public eye for daring to exist outside of what has been deemed "acceptable" and going out can put them in danger of harassment and assault.

With regard to Mizuki's character and her story, she's already gone out of her way to avoid going to school and being around her peers in the canon timeline. In the WL2 timeline this is pushed to its natural conclusion if she hadn't found support through N25: she dropped out of school entirely. While she still does go outside, it's never for socializing and mostly for work. Her design studio is her bedroom and she never collaborates with others. Once again, art imitates life; Mizuki's story reflects real life experiences that trans women like her have to live through.

"ouhhhh" is a different emotion from "ough" which is a different emotion from "augh" which is a different emotion from "wough". I could go on. and these all convey different feelings depending on spelling variation and how many "h"s you add at the end too

observation: among a certain subset of tumblr users, the term “blorbo” has become unchic, but the concept it describes is still important; and so it has been replaced with “The Character”
