Asumu Ushiromiya from Umineko When They Cry
Propaganda under the cut due to spoilers.
Propaganda: Spoilers for Last Note of the Golden Witch
Imagine having a chance to come back from the dead and see your family again and instead of spending time wth your son or husband, you spend your time replacing his new wife and talking up how much better you are than her. Also IMO drowning her in the vortex that is your hair is kinda yonic imagery. But like. Just. go after the woman you actually care about PLEASE.
Additional: i think asumu and kyrie should have played psychosexual mind games with each other forever instead of wasting time with rudolf, who is clearly not the person with the most real estate in their heart

Rudolf Ushiromiya is a bitchass motherfucker.
Something I think about way too much is Asumu’s death and how quickly Rudolf remarried Kyrie (I think I have two separate drafts of posts about that somewhere).
Generally, we don’t get an exact reference as to how quickly Rudolf remarried in the VN. However, in the manga, where he is speaking to Krauss and Natsuhi on the matter of Battler leaving the family and Rudolf’s pending marriage to Kyrie, it is mentioned that the mourning period for Asumu hasn’t passed by yet.
Traditionally, there’s two stages to the mourning period in Japan - 忌中 (Kichū) and 喪中 (Mochū) - though the actual practice of mourning differs according to regions and family traditions, as well as being less heavily restricted come modern day.
忌中 is the initial period of mourning, lasting 49 days. In other words, roughly a month and a bit over a week.
In Japan, this is the period of time that the ashes of the deceased remain in the family home following cremation - up until internment of the ashes in their grave in the chosen cemetery when the 49 days are at an end.
(Cremation is the most common type of funerary ceremony in Japan, and we don’t ever learn if Asumu was cremated following Japanese tradition or if, instead, she had a western-style funeral in line with the Ushiromiya family.
The reason cremation is so popular in Japan is due to its small size, a lack of space for physical burials. Burial plots for bodies - or urns carrying ashes - are extremely expensive).
Usually, the bereaved also retreat from public life and social engagements while in mourning (though in modern day, I think this is usually just a week at the most?).
After the 49 days are up, 喪中 begins.
This mourning period lasts for the following year after the death of a loved one, and depending on how strictly tradition is followed, while the family gets back to life and work as normal - this usually means no ceremony or holiday is celebrated, at least not for the sake of having fun.
Weddings, birthday parties, etc aren’t thrown or attended, and instead of sending out New Years’ Cards, the family will instead send mourning cards that tell others not to send anything.
(Again this isn’t always strictly adhered to. Depends on where you live, family tradition, the times, etc).
Since Asumu died in 1980, limiting her life from January to April/May at the latest as she died before Ange was born, I find it extremely unlikely that they were referring to 喪中 when stating that the twelve-month mourning period hadn’t ended yet.
Asumu was dead before the remarriage and Ange’s birth, meaning her lifespan was under nine months - under a year.
This implies that at the very latest (April-Ish), Rudolf had to have married Kyrie during the initial mourning period, 忌中 - under the 49 days following Asumu’s death or somewhat shortly over it, and very well could have done so even before 忌中 passed in earlier months.

Got thinking about my last post again and fuck it. Headcanons about what would happen if you gave the Ushiromiyas internet access:
Krauss: Has fallen for no fewer than 11 NFT scams and brags about how he has a blue check on twitter
Natsuhi: In the trenches of tradwife facebook groups and is constantly getting into the most foul discourse you've ever seen
Jessica: Tiktok famous for "grwm in my parent's mansion" videos much to the chagrin of literally everyone else
Eva: Runs an online Gwenyth Paltrow style girlpower mlm that is very explicitly scamming people. Her husband is aware and in full support (of both her feminine entrepreneurial spirit and also scamming people)
Hideyoshi: I don't think he would be all that tech savvy but what I do know is that this man would listen to so many history podcasts and audiobooks it's actually unbelievable
George: Considering his speech in Chapter 6 there is zero doubt in my mind he's a reformed(?) 4chan incel (or so he claims) but he still has questionable opinions about only fans type stuff which he will lecture Shannon about A Lot
Rudolf: Genuinely do not even want to think about the content of this man's hard drive
Kyrie: Hater game absolutely unparalleled, she was playing enough mind games on Asumu that it was debatable whether or not the authorities should have gotten involved
Battler: In a hypothetical world where they had internet access I think he would be able to escape conservatism just long enough to realize he's bisexual so when Ronove shows up for the first time you can hear the muffled grindr notification from Battler's pocket
Rosa: She would be on tinder for at least half the plot
Maria: Maria get iPad. She doesn't watch cocomelon though it's just those like 2009 videos about satanic conspiracy theories and hexing your relatives that you find on the depths of youtube
Bonus!

Semifinals
The Asanos (Assassination Classroom) VS the Ushiromiya family (Umineko When They Cry)
The Asanos
Members: Gakuhou Asano (father) and Gakushuu Asano (son)
Propaganda:
CW: physical abuse
"Crazy dad whose misguided goal is just to make his son strong (but whose definition of real strength leaves much to be desired), and son who does see the error in his dad's ways but is brainwashed enough to imagine that his "filial duty" under the circumstances is to "take control". No one knows for sure if a mom exists, but she clearly doesn't want to have much to do with these lunatics." "The dad doesn't even consider his son family, just a "student" as he is a principal. Utterly unhumane conditions is where he trains his son in. And worst of all, they compete on who will control the other, leash included. The first time the son even considers calling him father is when he literally abuses him physically."
The Ushiromiya family
Members: Kinzo, Krauss, Eva, Rudolf, Rosa, Jessica, George, Battler, Ange, Maria, Natsuhi, Hideyoshi, Asumu, Kyrie
Propaganda:
"PEAK weird family drama. Fighting over the inheritance leads to multiple people dying in gruesome ways" "The whole plot of the game is that they all are so dysfunctional it would make sense for any of them to commit murder" "This family is dysfunctional and abusive on every levels. The parents are fighting for the inheritance, because the elder embezzled money. The grandfather, Kinzo, hides in his room and never shows up. Not unusual, he neglected his family his whole life. Seems that he preferred a mysterious mistress than his family. When he talked to his children, it was to scold them for being incompetents. The atmosphere is oppressive. The children of Kinzo were bully. Krauss bullied Eva, who bullied Rosa. Concerning the next generation: Battler is in conflict with his father because he cheated on his mother. Natsuhi is putting pressure on Jessica for her to become the heir of the family, and is losing contact with her daughter. Eva has deciced what the life of Georges is becoming, and that he will not marry a servant. As for the relationship between Rosa and Maria, this is just the best mother-daughter love-hate relationship ever. And everything ends in blood, for ever and ever." More propaganda here

update: this is becoming more of a collection of scenes and character studies from all across his life, but i'm slowly arranging it into a coherent narrative. i just think he's neat, and also a total bastard.
there's still a big gap of time missing in this collection, so i think i want to write something about how he relates to battler and ange in different ways, and how they remind him of their mothers, and then this will be a nicely balanced story.
oops, my rudolf feelings have once more emerged from the depths and i'm writing a fairly long Episode 7 fic :)

My partner keeps telling me to go on Tumblr whenever I launch one of my 20-10000 minute ramble-rants about Umineko at them so here I am AGAIN
Something that a lot of people love about Umineko (and I do too!) is how much Umineko centers its female characters: Umineko focuses a lot on the rich inner lives and emotions of these women, all of whom have been negatively impacted by ideals of submissive feminism and the needs of the patriarchy.
In general, in Umineko, there's this phenomenon that I don't often see elsewhere, where male characters' emotions and feelings are treated as less important, less interesting, etc. than female characters' are. This is interesting to me, and I think it makes sense - in many spaces and works, female characters are treated as caricatures - they are tragic dead mothers, loving wives, sexy girlbosses who secretly have a soft spot for the protagonist, etc. It's only par for the course that in a work where female characters are so celebrated and explored, it is male characters who suffer the fate of being reduced to more base qualities and have their feelings and emotions brushed off or waved over.
Umineko takes the concept of the absent dead wife, mother, lover and turns them into these complex, unknown ghosts who haunt the story: Kinzo's wife, Bice, Kuwatrice, Asumu. These are all female characters central to various plot points and aspects of the story, including thematic ones, but these women are very rarely, if at all, given space to truly express their inner thoughts. This is in contrast to the Ushiromiya women (Eva, Kyrie, Rosa, Natsuhi) who are so often able to express their innermost thoughts in these long, emotional sequences. Umineko doesn't allow space for these women to be caricatures, but instead seems to make space for them to be characters we simply don't have enough information on.
I think Asumu is the best example of this: she is a character with very little actual voice in the main story. Rudolf theorizes that she knew about Battler's true parentage and raised him with love regardless, but also worries that her death was due to his lies and infidelity. Her cause of death is never revealed. Kyrie talks about Asumu as a smart woman who played dumb and innocent to steal Rudolf from her, and there is the distinct concept that if Asumu hadn't died of Cause X, Kyrie would have killed her soon after. Battler sees Asumu as an uncomplicated, loving mother. And then, when Ryukishi released Last Note, we saw this different side of Asumu - an arrogant, jealous woman who took pride in her skill at puzzles and believed that she could have saved everyone, but also still a loving mother who loves her son, and even accepts her son's half-sister, Ange, in the end. Never a caricature, always cast in shadow, but with depths beneath.
But back to what I mentioned before - male characters being treated as those flanderized, flatter caricatures, with their feelings brushed off. It's very interesting to me, because it's not even just a case of male characters simply not having the screentime - they do. Battler and Kinzo get the most of it, but George also receives plenty of discussion as well.
Battler and George, however, are the male characters who I see the most flanderization of. Battler is a pathetic crying malewife twink bottom. George is a child predator who grooms Shannon.
George is a man who was raised by a hovering, overprotective mother with ridiculous expectations of him. She made him study every day and tried to instill values befitting of the power and status she hoped he would someday have into him. However, he saw how Battler, who was meant to be 'inferior' to him, getting along better with girls - even the one he liked - and grew jealous. His relationship with Shannon began because of this, but it also helped him to understand his own flaws, and he tried to change himself. Coming from a place of privilege, this is a difficult task. He also truly loved Shannon, even though he sometimes had a patronizing view of her due to his own instilled biases, and was even willing to go against his family for her. He isn't a perfect person, but he was attempting to change and grow.
Battler is a man with a deep empathy for others and is overly emotional at times - a trait I think is unfairly made fun of, given how men showing emotion is often portrayed as unmasculine, feminine, and shameful. He has a strong sense of right and wrong, and though clumsy and foolish at times, does his best to help others. He was raised by his grandparents for 6 years, so he is somewhat divorced from the privilege he now once again holds as a member of the Ushiromiya family, and makes mistakes because of that. He makes a lot of sexual jokes, but it's implied that this is due to being socially awkward after reuniting with the family he hasn't seen in six years. It's very difficult for him to truly despise someone, but once his trust is broken, even if he still loves them, it can be very hard to earn that trust back.
...I don't think the fandom needs to focus more on the male characters, per say. No one should be told they need to focus more on X than Y because enjoying X is more ethical, progressive, fair, etc. etc. But I would like to see people at least acknowledging the complexity of the male characters in Umineko more. The malewife Battler jokes are funny, I admit, but I'm tired of the child predator George jokes. Can we please leave people who ship Shannon and George alone? At this point, I'm beginning to worry about if they're alright... seeing a lot of hate for something they love can't be pleasant.
It's a general trend I see - liking a male character means you need to prioritize female characters more. Liking a het ship means you need to make it gay, or appreciate gay ships more. If a bisexual character dates someone of the opposite sex, this is bi erasure or erasing queer representation. But it's alright to like male characters, het ships, bisexual characters in het relationships, and so on. What isn't alright are the biases that are keeping queer media from receiving as much publicity, as much funding. What isn't alright are the biases that give male characters much more complex writing than female characters in many pieces of media. We as consumers can examine these things in the production and text of the works we enjoy, but I think there is too much focus on this ethical consumption of media.
...And that's how we end up making child predator George jokes - to reconcile the existence of a flawed, nuanced male character (who can and should be criticized of course) with the fact that Umineko is such a woman-central media. Umineko needs to be one of the 'good ones', the 'ethical ones'. So the male characters must be reduced to jokes, to one-liners. It is an overcorrection on a fandom level to reconcile with a society level issue, one that can harm fans of those characters and introduce toxicity to a place that should be about sharing love for a small universe we all enjoy.
(Whoops. This is why my partner told me to go on tumblr, huh?)

What the fuck is wrong with you (positive???? It's certainly entertaining, but holy fuck is seeing all women as competition for men a flawed worldview) LMAOO
What I don't understand is why she keeps saying 18 years this, 18 years that. Asumu died 6 years prior, so Rudolph and Asumu's marriage should've only lasted 12 years...?
Also, "miracle" and "master" make me think of Beatrice. HM. INTERESTING. Is Beatrice connected to think the same way she's connected to the baby's death Natsuhi wished for??? Or is Kyrie coming up with her own POV that just happens to match as a red herring... I'd be shocked if it was a red herring actually. Lol.
Also the George part of this fight was REALLY good. I don't have much to say about it but the way he faced off against Eva and found his own path, revealing that even tho he sees her as a good mother who wanted the best for him, she was also smothering him because she was putting her expectations onto him. Really really good. I love Eva sm she's so fucked up. All the Ushiromiya adult women are <3

The thing is, Rudolph and Krauss are "the better parents" in the Ushiromiya siblings because they don't have the responsibility to do that much parenting. Being there and nice is enough. Natsuhi has the responsibility to raise Jessica to be a 'proper' woman and keeping the family together while Krauss is failing to be a businessman. Asumu/Kyrie were the ones that had to maintain a family while putting up with Rudolph's cheating. They can afford to be a bit better than their sisters because the ground work is traditionally put on women and said work doesn't "produce" anything. And because it's supposed to be 'natural' it's not acknowledged. Therefore the mothers are usually seen as less chill and more controlling. And when they acknowledge the reality of their role in a more cynical way and have their own stakes at play, like Kyrie, it's unbearable to hear for a lot of people.
