[lyn-ne]

[murmurmurl]

Cause he had never danced outside of his room // When no one was home and he would stop to hear the door

This was gonna be a comic, you can tell from the thumbnails. but I didn't want to draw unrequited rnn

Today I was reminded again of how Nene just… assumes that naturally, Rui being the talented theater-obsessed director he is, surely wants to pursue bigger opportunities in such a career. Yeah it will be lonely to do some things apart, but that’s just part of life and what it means to further a dream. WonderlandsXShowtime will always be important to each other even when doing other things, right?

Meanwhile Rui has already turned down a massive opportunity that was handed to him on a silver platter, because he couldn’t bear to part from WxS.

and he refuses to tell Nene any of this because he doesn’t want to hold her back.

Ruinene Week Day 6: Medieval

[aroace-polyshow]

whattt noooo i don’t have hw favorites (starting another wip featuring nene and rui)

[foolishsweet]

Since Colopale (probably) won't give Tsukasa a water theme card I propose:

Tsukasa FES based on the tale of narcissus:

Untrained: him viewing his reflection in a pond and seeing the star he wants to be.

Trained: him falling underwater, with three hands reaching out to him/emuruinene colored lighting coming from above.

Didn’t write anything for Ruinene week bc I didn’t know it was happening until it started (still don’t completely know what the prompts were tbh) so take this humble offering. I wrote it in just over a week so that still kinda counts right???

[miraculous-showtime]

the way so many people are structuring their new cyberpunk set aus (specifically with cyber & idol) reminds me so much of an original story i haven't worked on in like a year lol but it's kinda making me wanna work on it again

[thesnowidol4life]

hi im alive and all my mental illnesses are worsening as we speak

[andromedako]

hey ruinene nation? im really sorry for what im abt to put out

[tearwolfe]

So; in an old post, you said Rui had trauma from guns. What exactly happened that made him so traumatized or did you just "Hmmm...what kind of trauma should I give him? GUN" btw I'm talking about the supercyber au

have a ruinene ruinion for our lore drop <3

a weapon of his malfuctioned while he was testing it, pretty much rendering his arm useless and he had to get it amputated. he was a teen at the time and was deeply traumatized from it, almost giving up on inventing all together. what would have happened if the weapon has malfunctioned on someone else, possibly killing them? both his mother and mizuki were able to pull him away from this funk enough to continue doing what he truly does love.

he doesn't really like talking about it, he's still disturbed. unfortunately, nene was away for several years of his late teens until the current timeline...

Assigning Disney songs and small analysis on why to Wondershow pairings!!

(boycott Disney literally please never stop. Pirate EVERYTHING they have FUCK Disney they're literally the worst EVILL evil corporation it's not even funny. but their stories and songs are iconic unfortunately)

Ruikasa: I See The Light (Tangled)

It's a song about discovering what it means to dream, and realizing how much your world has changed so drastically after the right person enters your life.

"All these years, chasing down a daydream. All those days, living in a blur. All that time, never truly seeing things the way they were"

TELL ME. TELL ME THAT ISN'T TSUKASA PRE-WXS. Him NOT knowing what he's doing, striving for a blurry dream he's stumbling to achieve. BEFORE MEETING WXS, in this specific case, Rui.

"All at once, everything looks different, now that I see you"

How Rui's entire view of friendship and life in general changed the moment Tsukasa officially invites and begs him back into the group. Hear me OUT.

Nenekasa: A Whole New World (Aladdin)

A song of one person showing and exposing the other to a new and exciting world, one filled with wonder.

Tsukasa pulled Nene out of her shell, and basically challenged her. While all her friends are her stepping stone, it's Tsukasa that pushed her into the world of stardom. A world she so desperately wants to achieve.

He's a competition to her, a friend, and also a motivation to keep getting better. She overcomes a lot of her fears with her rivalry of sorts with him, wanting to be an equal and improve just as much. She's brought to the spotlight, indirectly because of him. A whole new world she's just introduced to.

"A dazzling place I never knew. But when I'm way up here, it's crystal clear, that now I'm in a whole new world with you"

THE TWO STARS OF WONDERSHOW. IN THE SKIES TOGETHER.

Emurui: Love is an open door (Frozen)

Ok, I know this is TECHNICALLY a manipulative and villain song, BUT NOT TO ME IN THIS CONTEXT. Just two, absolutely silly doofuses goofing around and being equally stupid.

I don't have much logical explanation for this except for silly and also it matches their vibes SOO WELL. With Emu thinking nearly as insanely as Rui, and both of them being whimsical in nature. It makes the

"I mean it's crazy"

"What?"

"We finish each other's s-"

"sandwiches!!"

"That's what I was gonna say!"

More so their brainwave being THAT goofy and in line with each other rather than a manipulative tactic the song was trying to do.

"I never met someone who thinks so much like me!"

YEAHHHHHH

I don't have the energy to keep analysing right now but I'll drop the other two and explain later if I don't forget and die.

Ruinene: Something There (Beauty and the Beast)

Emukasa: I DONT KNOW I DESPERATELY TRIED IF ANYONE HAS ANY IDEAS SHARE I LOVE EMUKASA BUT I WAS DYING.

Emunene: I won't say I'm in Love (Hercules) ORR THE LESBIAN ANTHEM Kiss The Girl (The Little Mermaid)

[scodscod]

okeeeeey. I forget to draw something for you once again. hOwEvEeeeR eVEntUaLlLllly I remember, so be delighted until I disappear one more time. happy ruinene-shit-pics day

(fixed. rui isn't peace of sh!t anymore)

[adhdtsukasa]

in addition to the emukasa post i made some time ago, if anyone even cares, the second absolutely heart-shattering wxs relationship for me is nothing else than ruinene, you can even say that obviously.

just like in emukasa's case, i also don't really ship them romantically that much outside of polysho, but it absolutely doesn't mean that they're not a good dynamic. it's that they're (or were, because they're better now, after all!) tragic childhood friends that makes them so good, so heart-wrenching — romance is only optional here and not that much needed of a flavor (unless you want to see them as middle school exes. this is the one scenario where romantic ms ruinene peaks over the platonic one)

because, in the very beginning, they had such a good time together. they were best friends. rui understood nene, and nene understood rui — nene was rui's best friend and major factor in shaping him into who he is today. they were just two children with good hearts who had found solace in each other and wanted to pursue their passion for theater, together.

and then middle school came. and then they drifted off.

and for nene, what happened to rui and what kind of person he was at this time must be shocking — and must hurt her a lot, because she wasn't able to help him. his stare was duller, his hair was messier, his words were not like his, and she couldn't do anything. all her efforts to reconcile with him were in vain, because he was better off alone — he said it himself. but he also said that it's hard to find someone like her, so why doesn't want to accept the hand that she's reaching to him?

well, but rui at least had mizuki, a person who he could share his loneliness with. nene had no one, if you think about it. so when the incident happened, when she messed up the show, she was all alone — this time rui wasn't next to her. she was stigmatized for what happened, just like how he was stigmatized for who he is, but he couldn't hold her in his arms, because he was just not there... they were both alone, on the different sides of the same spectrum. and even though nene must've understood rui's decision at least in a way, i wonder if she at least once thought that, basically, rui abandoned her.

but they're both together again now! they're in a place that allows them to pursue their dreams. nene can sing without fear, and rui is not a weirdo anymore. they're in a place where they can both laugh about the past and shrug it off, because that's already behind them...

yet, somehow, someway, even if just a little bit, it must still ache. rui said it himself, after all. it takes a long time to heal from trauma. and their middle school separation definitely, definitely took a toll on them.

that's why i really, reaaaally want nene5 to be a middle school nene event, though it's highly unlikely and i don't have high hopes. not because i want nene angst, i want my girl to be happy all the time — but because middle school ruinene is such an interesting aspect of their backstories that i just desperately crave more of.

idk man, everyone should think about ruinene once in a while too!!

[aroace-polyshow]

rui and nene are the type of friends with shit sleep schedules that will see each other online and tell each other to go to bed while also being up at ungodly hours
