I had been wondering about this line from Sweet Dream for awhile now.

"My father, my universe,

Take away the weak and small me."

It never seemed to really connect to anything. Belief never made any of our cast less helpless, let alone our original singer here, Sua.

But with the recent comic, I have thoughts on this.

Mizi doesn't see Sua as beneath her innately, is the thing. Sua is an equal - equal anatomy, equal heat, equal passion. She's even dressed in the outfit Mizi would later wear for Round 1.

But the dress fits more loosely on Sua than it does Mizi. Sua is also, quite literally, beneath her. Mizi knows she could "crush" her. Because of the way they have been taught "love", there is this interesting juxtaposition in the way they see each other and the way they act.

Sua is complacent - micromanaged and constantly nitpicked for the slightest things she does out of line. She doesn't put up any resistance, because there's no point. Sua is Mizi's protector, but it's because Mizi is Sua's only form of comfort. Protecting Mizi protects her sanctuary. Sua can feel genuinely grateful that Mizi doesn't get dragged around like her, while still feeling somewhat resentful. Sua finds strength in devoting herself to Mizi.

Mizi is bitterly aware of her own helplessness. If she is "cute" or "pretty" or "adorable", it just means that people can do whatever they want to her. It's not even out of malice! They love her! They don't even notice they've hurt her. Mizi reveres Sua for this reason, because Sua willingly makes the choice to let Mizi do whatever she wants to her. Sua is just like her, weak and made to do whatever others wish. Sua is her god above her, and the one beneath her that she can hurt if she so chooses. She doesn't want to hurt her; Mizi loves her, but that's what love is to her - to adore that which is cuter and more helpless than you. Because Sua surrenders to her, Mizi knows she is safe.

How can she not worship the one who has given her such a precious gift as control, as limited as it is?

They are the garden's two weakest creatures. Luka has no control beyond his claim of the stage, but Mizi will never even have that - she is too pretty, too adorable, too feminine. To be loved is to be hurt, to love another is to claim them. This is why she must love Sua more overpoweringly than Sua loves her. She sees her as a person, but loves her with the strongest expression she can muster, which is god. Her benevolent god, who grants her the freedom of control.

Luka can overpower the other contestants. Mizi can only overpower Sua, and only because Sua allows.

Mother is enabling me. Unfortunately now I have to remember how to do basic upholstery, source some dark bluey-teal short pile non-stretch velvet, and get some HTV gold stars to transfer on so I can make myself a Wizard Throne to sit in at my kitchen table.

This shall be a summer project.

The brown belt around Saki's thigh in her Saint Beast Sorcerer costume actually originates from her Simmered Gently and Lovingly 2* card.

two packages, one's the default ea swatches & one is 8 colors w 3 patterns each (cheetah, camo, and tiger print, i got tired ok). if you download both they'll combine into one package bc ea hates me personally but they work.

happy pride! no matter your gender or sexual orientation, I hope you can find happiness in your life, even if it seems impossible right now

i really wanted to paint this since about march, but haven't really found the time to do so. at last, i finished it before the end of pride month.

the two girls are dressed in traditional Slovak folk dress, or kroj (traditional folk formalwear) from Piešťany region. Piešťany and the nearby village of Krakovany have one of the most gorgeous forms of kroj in the entire country and for a long time, dolls dressed in this style of dress were gifted to foreign delegations to represent my country. the same country that won't represent people like me

it is a form of reclamation, in a way, to depict sapphic love in this dress. we're here, and have always been here, even if the rest of the people will deny us our existence. this is for all my fellow queers living through being a hot point of debate during elections. you are seen and you are loved. you are part of this country, and you are part of our culture, and the culture belongs to you just as much as to everyone else

i love you, and stay safe
