#bcus she's like... mecore...

[raymoo--hackery]

yapped a bit about Seija on twt and bsky and it prompted me to quickly sketch her ugly mug again

and now, you, folks of tumblr, get my Seija yapfest as well (copypasted right from twt and bsky lol)

One of the funniest things about Seija to me is the fact that even tho there's arguably people out there who's done way worse for Gensokyo than she did, they hated her ass so much they changed the spell card rules for a bit just to hunt her ass down AND SHE STILL GOT AWAY LMAO. She isn't escaping the depression arc tho.. rubbing my hands together evilly 😈. Now here is the part you hear me out on my insane ramblings. All the instances we see of Seija in canon? DDC, ISC, GoU. Manic episodes. I mean cmon just look at her behaviour. Egotistical bastard, having the time of her fucking life just dicking around with Shinmy and her "reverse Gensokyo's social hierarchy" scheme. Caused a right and proper mess of things, pissed people off so bad they had it out for her like crazy. Entire plot of ISC is residents of Gensokyo hunting down her ass and trying to catch her. She's still manic, but starting to wear down as things escalate. She won't let it show though, no way in hell. Not even when Shinmy finally confronts her does she back down. Nah, she doubles down instead. In the end Seija walks off scot free, with all of Gensokyo still hating her guts.. including Shinmy. Seija, prior to this point, never gave a fuck about anyone but herself. She wasn't supposed to get attached to Shinmy either, Shinmy was supposed to be just another pawn, another tool for her to use. But somehow that little inchling weaseled her way into this amanojakus heart, she didn't realize it until after their falling out. Hurt Seija more than she'd like to admit. So what happens? Depressive episode. You ever wonder why Seija suddenly vanished off the face of Gensokyo after ISC? While Shinmy is still active too? I like to think that's why, the whole mess ended up fucking with her head more than she would've liked. She's never had an episode like this before, cus she's never given a shit about anyone else before Shinmy. It's a new feeling, a new edge of depressiveness, and she fuckin hates it. I mean she won, didn't she? Fucked with Gensokyo right and proper just like she wanted. She lived exactly as an amanojaku should, she made a fuckin name for herself in this bitch called Gensokyo. So why does she feel so shitty? Well, what does that matter. What's more important is that she can't let anyone catch her being all "weak and vulnerable", so she vanishes. We never see or hear from her again until GoU. What happened in between ISC and GoU? Between Seija and Shinmy that is. Up in the air... I have ideas... We know a lot about what Shinmy was up to, that's for sure. Yet she still ends up coming back to Seija in the end, as Seija comes back to her as well. I could go on a tangent about Shinmy's side of things too, but just for now I'll leave this ramble for just Seija. But if you want the short end of it, bipolar is just "contrarianism the mental illness" isn't it lol. A creature of contrarianism with bipolar disorder isn't far fetched in the slightest I think. But well, it's still mostly just projection on my end lol.
