Listening to just the audio of Wiege made me realize that the tempo has a 3/4 time signature, or at least has a 123 count, like the Waltz, a PARTNER dance. If you have listened to Merry Go Round of Life from Howl’s Moving Castle, you know what a 123 count sounds like. The notes are relatively staccato (like skipping stones on the lake if you don’t know music). 

Anyways, the only time the tempo is changed is in the end, when the Waltz/123 count fizzles out, aka when Hyuna dies BECAUSE IT ISN’T A PARTNER DANCE ANYMORE CAUSE LUKA IS A WIDOW NOW.

I love how mizi from alien stage is almost like an anti eternal feminine and how she wants so badly to cling to this label of being a nice girl so she manipulates others. It’s almost as if- crazy take- she’s afraid of having misogynistic backlash from others the way the fandom is treating her currently. She puts on a facade to not be shunned or be made as less of a woman by her counter parts and peers because no woman wants to be called manipulative or a bitch. Which is crazy considering what some fans are doing.

he just looks so torture-able . like it would be a disservice NOT to torture him.. . he WANTS to be tortured

Mizi's nest is full of pink blankets, pink hot water bottles, and pink stuffed animals. Everything feels so warm and safe in a way that's completely alien to the cold, gray world Sua was raised in.

I wish there sapphic omegaverse content. It doesn't have to be NSFW content. Just a strong Alpha woman cuddles their pretty omega in their pink nest.

I find it so cute how lesbians are the closest thing to real life a/b/o. Stealing eachother clothes to make a pile on their bed. The need to make the other smell like them so everyone knows they're taken! Random biting to claim their partner! Loving each other's scent to the point where it gets them horny! How they court each other with random gifts!!! Lesbians are truly like alphas and omegas!

Breakdown of Hyun Woo's Incident

That day, Luka was clinging to a troubled Hyuna while Hyun Woo tried to make him let go. Luka is either sweating heavily or crying here (unusually expressive and emotive for him) as he adamantly refuses to release her.

Hyun Woo is deeply upset and loses his patience. He resorts to violence.

In the ensuing scuffle between the two, Hyun Woo's head made lethal impact with a rock.

His death wasn't intentional — the rock was embedded in the ground.

(If the point was that Luka purposefully killed him, the rock would've been loose to imply it's a weapon he used to bash Hyun Woo's head with.)

Luka doesn't even seem to register or care about Hyun Woo's state. He's singlehandedly focused on the joy of being able to return to Hyuna now that no one is stopping him.

This is the main reason Hyuna resents him — he doesn't even acknowledge Hyun Woo's death and what happened.

Can she blame someone who doesn't know? Can she forgive someone who doesn't understand? She can only resent him.

"It's you who's in the wrong."

"Bet you had no idea."

— All-In

Now the question is why was Hyun Woo so upset? That's not the expression of an ordinary day-to-day conflict.

The answer:

Luka changed his behavior at some point. Specifically, this point.

Before this, Luka was aloof and unemotive. He cared about the two of course ("Your life is mine" (/matter of fact)) in his own way, but it's a drastic difference from the tunnel vision he gets later on where just the sight of Hyuna brings him an overjoyed smile regardless of circumstances.

This moment with Hyuna is the changing point for him. His controlling friendship (likely towards both Hyuna and Hyun Woo) and his entire world, is consumed by an unhealthily anxious love for Hyuna.

This abrupt development catches her off guard and she isn't sure how to react. She's certainly not okay with it.

Hyun Woo was worked up that day because ever since then, Luka has started to become obsessively clingy towards his sister and this is likely just the most recent in a series of incidents where he refused to let Hyuna go despite her wishes (Hyuna is looking at Luka as she raises her hand with a troubled face).

It's possible there's jealousy here feeling like Luka's trying to monopolize his sister, but I think it's more likely he was angry on Hyuna's behalf due to Vivimeng's repeated emphasis on how he has a strong sense of justice.

He also may have heard about Luka attempting to force himself on Hyuna and was agitated by the need to protect his sister and get him away from her.

Lastly, Wiege makes it clear that Hyun Woo and Luka both considered each other friends.

Luka's pov — The camera is low because he's looking up at them as the smallest one.

Luka's drawing — He's standing between the siblings and holding both of their hands.

I don't know anything about Miwa except that she needs to be Luka's friend because he doesn't have any outside of his girlfriend's situationship's friend group

Spoilers for the new comic and also character analysis

I love her and I think the comic ads to her character depth. The fact that she’s intentionally playing into the manic pixie dream girl persona as a tactic to get the upper hand makes her whole character make more sense. Just like Luka imitating people makes sense. Her telling Till not to like her feels like her trying to tell him to save himself because the only person she’s interested in saving of is Sua. Also I’m sure she was kind and good to all her friends but the survivors guilt you’d feel for the tiniest selfish acts in that situation would be tremendous. Cause like she tried to save her friends, but she failed and every moment where she wondered if it was worth it to save them will start to feel like a betrayal in her memory. Her lashing out at Sua also makes her seem more human. I had so much trouble grasping her character because everyone else viewed her as this harmless sweetie who was kinda stupid.

I'm laid up in bed today trying to rest so I'll be somewhat functional by the time my shift starts and that means I'm looking at shit of my phone. tumblr has recommended me an abo worldbuilding community so now I'm giving that a little scroll. and man let me tell you they are inventing new ways of biologically codifying nuclear family dynamics the likes of which my feeble mind can barely comprehend.

This is the post!

Some more fem!Lukas I liked:

Fem!luka with a little white doll dress and the same haircut as Sua. Think about it.

(I saw some fem!luka art that had Luka with long hair cutting her hair specifically for round 5. Lmao.)

-MiziLuka anon

WELL IM THINKING ABOUT IT NOW ANON (if you have the art I would eat that up omg) does Mizi walk into round five and see the blonde version of her dead wife and bluescreen even faster. Does fem!Luka dye her hair to complete the look. How easily does she slip into Sua's skin and how much does Mizi hate her even more for it
