#Moca talks

[mocacheezy]

I very recently saw a post where someone said that trans men are a minority, and not talked about enough. Now this could just be a case of having different social groups, but in my friend and acquaintance circles I know more trans men.

Pretty much every trans person I meet is ftm.

It was only very recently I met a trans woman! In the years of actually seeking out & hanging out with other queer people, I've only ever heard about trans-men. Even in online spaces, probably bcs I have mutuals who are trans-men, but still.

So I am curious. Is this just a case of WIDELY different friend groups and queer communities elsewhere, or is ftm transness really not talked about nearly as much as I think it is?

If you feel comfortable you can add where you're from, but it isn't necessary.

[ I have not majored, graduated or in any way acquired the title of Knows-All-The-Right-Terms when it comes to queer, lgbtqa+, alphabet mafia, so-on-and-so-forth community. Even if I speak english well, I am not online 48/7, and can admit I lack understanding of certain terms, or references, or things like that. So in case you have something new to share with me, by all means, I love learning! Just be nice about it, being queer doesn't mean I know everything. ]

Me? Losing my mind over hearing my f/os speak?

It's a guarantee.

Event: Haunted School

(Not going to include the way she became a ghost yet since I'm reworking on it. You can choose to be helping them or be a ghost in the school like Tsugu is)

Your Muse(s) see Afterglow hanging out together without a keyboardist

Ran: "We need to do something about the rumors"

Moca: "I bet the ghost isn't just a rumor"

Tomoe: "Now's not the time to joke around about it, Moca"

You notice Himari isn't talking to them. Would you like check on them all?

“bushi made lisa too obsessed with yukina”

this is a statement that i commonly saw around when entering the fandom and bc i am so normal i wrote about this and also bc it is something i wanted to write about for a while. have fun reading thru.

First of all I want to clear something off because it is just something that ticks me off personally. Bushi has no weight in the writing and the card art in Garupa. Or it must be really limited. (Thankfully Yours, a Professional Creative)

So we can reformulate, Craftegg made Lisa too obsessed with Yukina. Which we shall now explore.

I think it’s important to start with which kind of character is Lisa. One of the common descriptors being used ingame and outside of the game for her is that she is friendly, and lots of adjectives that go with this (true) declaration : lively, kind, caring etc.

This friendliness most often and most importantly comes with a lot of affection, no matter the friend. It is most often verbal, but also can be physical and Lisa absolutely does not shy away from showing it. A non exhaustive list of examples shall follow.

Moca Aoba - Detour on the Way Home (card episode 1)

Kasumi Toyama - Colorful Rocks (card episode 1)

Lisa Imai - Together Always (card episode 2) (talking about all of roselia)

And many more but we’re trying to be concise here.

Lisa’s affection for Yukina being the most obvious one, which I won't bother to show examples here because of how recurring it is. As seen previously it is not a Yukina only occurrence, but the different kind of affection be it by Quantity or Things that are Being Said, such as I quote “And I still want to be there for you. Whenever you feel lost or worried, I'll be sure to lend a hand.” ( Lisa Imai - Inevitable Bond - Card Episode 1)

That affection can definitely be explained by the sense of familiarity between the two. Literally childhood best friends ! So isn’t it normal for Lisa to be all that affectionate with her BEST friend, which she has now known for over a decade.

All of this to me proves more that Lisa truthfully loves Yukina, which is not a question of being “obsessed” with her. Extremely affectionate at most and yes, in the worst of cases, overbearing but we shall come back to that.

But now we know that said time and friendship wasn’t all rosy either and that it came from a long way, which we shall now discuss in the second part of that essay.

Lisa’s self worth and being on the edge of abandonment (or so she believes).

Abandonment might be a strong word here, but hear me out. 

As all good readers and rereaders of Roselia BS1 know, Lisa and Yukina’s relationship was tense in many aspects. Many things fell apart throughout the years between them after Yukina’s dad quit music, and one of them being their love for music which in part tied them together.

Lisa gave up on it, by fear of being an obstacle to Yukina progress.

4koma Lisa and Music

Story 1: Bloom Of The Blue Rose 

Chapter 10: Blue Rose                

That fear makes it that at no moment Lisa seriously reconsidered picking up music. Which makes that when Yukina finally found Sayo to form a band :

Story 1: Bloom Of The Blue Rose

Chapter 4: Tattered Sheet Music

(I always knew this day would come... and now, here it is.) To me this quote specifically indicates that Lisa always expected at some point for Yukina to properly walk away from her. She doesn’t play music anymore and can’t be useful to her, in Lisa’s twisted vision of her self worth, and Yukina now found one person who can exactly do that. 

What does she bring to Yukina that would stop her from walking away completely ?

If we take all of that in consideration then, for a good part before the story and even ! During the story we get to see later on, as their relationship does not immediately get fixed after BS1, Lisa views each moment with Yukina being possibly the last one with her, as she views herself being a liability for Roselia as well.

That culmination makes Lisa end up being overbearing with Yukina, which is a common complaint I have seen since the MOMENT I stepped into the fandom. Problem being that people do not realize that it is framed to be a flaw to overcome and has now been overcome since Noble Story 1. Lisa’s story is about mending her friendship with Yukina, not feeling like an impostor within Roselia and accepting that she loves music all the same as the other members of her band.

Overcoming all of that comes hand in hand with not being overbearing with Yukina, or anyone truly, due to her fear of being left behind. The newest Australia Event is also another good example of how when she is under Severe Stress, Lisa’s coping induce being extremely overbearing with EVERYONE in the group. (Which is why btw do not refer to Imai Lisa as the Mom Friend as it is a Sign of Clear Distress when she is.)

So to me Lisa’s love and overbearingness being framed as “craftegg making Lisa obsessed with Yukina” is a clear miss in her character and in her story.

Now this could have been the end of that Already long rant but Ohoho. Isn’t a relationship made out of two people ? What about Yukina in all of that ?

The Yukina who immediately wrote a song calling Lisa her sun, her moon, her home, and declared that Lisa was essential to her and Roselia, when Lisa was away for three hours ? (Hidamari Rhodonite lyrics/ Don’t Leave Me Lisa Chapter 7/ Lisa Imai - Indispensable - Card Episode 1)

The Yukina who said that, no matter the choices they made and what would have happened, Lisa would have ended up, by her side, in Roselia ?  ( Lisa Imai - Her Wavering Feelings - Card Episode 1)

The Yukina who said I quote “ If there's ever a time when it seems like you're about to make the wrong choice, I'll stop you. Just like you've guided me this whole time, I want to be able to do the same for you.” ? ( Lisa Imai - Inevitable Bond - Card Episode 1)

And so so many more. Weirdly enough, people tend to forget how often and how strongly Yukina responds to Lisa’s affection. Not even shying all that much from it, apart from the first few stories, and yet none of it is framed in a “obsessed” with Lisa way. Yukina loves and is as affectionate as Lisa, if only in a different way.

So to conclude for good this time : To me Lisa’s love and overbearingness being framed as “craftegg making Lisa obsessed with Yukina” is a clear miss in her character and in her story. But it also discards a lot of Yukina’s character that reflects in that love and affection that she bears for Lisa and her friends too.

[id: a four page black and white comic, featuring Kat, the artist. the first page shows Kat in the middle of the page, knees drawn to their chest and arms around them. they have a neutral expression. in the corners are hazy rainbows. text reads "for various reasons, i've never felt exactly real. i've always felt like i'm living in a hazy black and white, a colorful reality right our my grasp". the second page shows an elementary school age Kat in the top left and a middle school age Kat in the bottom right. elementary Kat is smiling with their eyes closed, fangs showing. next to them is a moon wand from Sailor Moon. middle school Kat looks distressed and has stitches on their body. next to them is a ghost. text reads "in elementary school, i fashioned myself a vampire or a sailor scout, belonging to some far off world. in middle school, i often felt like a lab made monster or a ghost, not quite dead but not alive". the third page shows current Kat in the top right, smiling and waving. next to them are two arrows. in the bottom left is various fictional characters. they are Sebastian Michaelis, Rollin Girl Hatsune Miku, Moca Aoba, Chara, Hifumi Yamada, Botan, and Sayaka Miki. text reads "lately, i've felt like a video game protagonist. i see text options whenever i talk to someone and "click" on various items. i have also based myself and heavily projected onto fictional characters my entire life. for me, the line between my interests and myself is a blur". the fourth page shows Kat looking in a mirror, their hand on it. the mirror shows a generic figure with an obscured face. text reads "i've never recognized my face in the mirror. i don't know what year it is or how old i am. it's distressing. but at the same time, it's comforting, in an odd sort of sense. my only connection to myself is a disconnect". end id]

dissociation musings

[mocacheezy]

Funny thing that happened yesterday when I decided to listen to TPP, Juno Steel and the Terrible Waste (Part 1).

My phone battery died just at the end, at the "And we hope to see you again soon."

What better way to leave me at a cliffhanger.

[cheezy-selfships]

AHHHHH OK THIS IS THE SAME ANON HERE THE MORE I THINK ABOUT THE IDEA THE MORE IM LOVING IT

I’m already creating fake scenarios in my head right now

Yessssssss, ya see this is precisely what I love about writing headcanons, folks start getting their own scenarios and spins on it and it's just YUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[caramelmochacrow]

oh here's my onglydoople btw. think shes smiling!!!

(the hammy on the other side is to make the image smaller sorry--)

[chisatowo]

Oh baby tomorrow. Today technically. It's already here huh. Just sort of happening. Just like that. Cool beans (<- abt 2 cry)

[arolesbianism]

Bro is the new 4koma implying that Moca is the reason Ako does her silly lil monologues. What did Moca do. Did it think this would be a funny thing to teach her to do. Or did Ako pick this up from Moca by herself and then Moca simply encouraged it because it though it was funny. I need to know every last detail pls give me an entire flashback event based around this bndori

[girls-band-headcanons]

d4dj and Bandori are in the same universe bc of that 4koma so, in turn, I'm gonna talk abt headcanons I have that involve the 2 franchises!!!

ibuki has been compared to aya before many times, especially their voices. noa has a tendency to scream and wail w towa about it.

nanami and rinku have not met ever but all of the lyrilily members think they should be friends (every time they plan one, though, it always never ends up happening)

nagisa is a roselia, afterglow and ras fan and collects merch of them. she especially loves sayo and moca's guitar playing. she rlly want to do a collab w ras bc of the band having chu2.

chu2 has beef w shinobu. nuff said. shinobu doesn't rlly care much, but wants to have a joint live w them one day.

kokoro is friends w the rich girls, especially miyu and esora bc of their statuses as The Richest Rich Girls. they also keep trying to get Rinku to meet her but it hasn't happened bc their schedules never align.

saori is a bit of a regular at Galaxy ramen to the point masuki and tomoe remember her face. she is terrified of masuki though.

the hikawa twins are towa's cousins and when noa found out she has been begging towa to meet hina. this has not happened yet.

tae was an acquaintance of nagisa when nagi used to perform on the streets. nowadays they don't talk much but nagisa likes keeping up w her band's music. tae thought nagisa was a high schooler.

lumina covers some pasupare tracks in her streams which caused pareo to be a fan of hers, she's a casual fan but knows a few unichord songs she hums to herself when she's w chu2 and the others.

abyssmare and ave mujica have been compared to each other online a lot, it annoys sakiko but neo literally doesn't care at all.

mygo is a band aoi likes following and is a little obsessed w them. she listens to their songs when she's having a hard time. she got nagisa to be interested in some of their songs. tsubaki on the other is a avemuji fan bc of the vocal work.

hina is a fan of m4 and rlly rlly want to Collab w them but chisato isn't too keen on hanging out w "two hinas but one is orange-haired" (rika)

Mod Fusion: Welcome back, Crow! Anyways, these headcanons and relationships are awesome! Love crossover relationships!
