#emu and tsukasa have a lot in the main story (as does rui and nene plus they're childhood friends)

I still don't fucking understand ruikasa

Re: “don’t people make fun of Tsukasa. Even a little bit”

I’m also guilty of forgetting that tsukasa is generally pretty well liked regardless of his freak behavior and obnoxious personality. However. KAITO comments on his natural charisma in his Kamiyama Fes story:

And bear in mind, this is when he’s directing a play with his classmates as actors so he’s in his True Freak Element.

In Tsukasa’s Kamiyama Fes card story he shows them Romeo Battle Royale which they all think is Dumb As Hell (fair), but they also think it’s funny & that this is deliberate. They’re not laughing *at* him or mocking him, they’re assuming - incorrectly but he does not gaf - that they’re laughing with him.

& later on in the card story you, even though they thought he was a weirdo initially, they had fun under his direction and even compliment him.

Which is kind of a running theme with a lot of his interactions with new people. “This guy is an egotistical weirdo” -> “This guy is an egotistical weirdo but he’s also genuinely nice and a decent guy” -> “He’s a freak but he is also my friend & I have fun with him.” & this has been true from a young age, as you can see in Pandemonium:

Tsukasa: When I first proposed the idea, everyone booed me for not choosing between tag or hide and seek and rattling on about this "show" business...

Tsukasa: However, after I began performing, they quickly followed suit. Through my show, we all had a chance to play both games!

Tsukasa *is* self centered, and he does have a high opinion of himself, but he’s not interested in putting other people down to make himself feel better. In fact, he also has a pretty high opinion of others and isn’t shy about making that known, which contributes to his likability.

(Outside of the main WxS story. Him yelling at Nene there was more out of frustration towards himself and the failed show, but that’s a different and lengthy discussion I don’t wanna get into here. It is important to keep in mind that he definitely became less “I’m the only one who matters here” and more “I’m great but so are other people” after it, though.)

You can see more clear examples of this in Nene’s earlier card stories as her opinion of him shifts to be more positive. From her initial 2*:

Nene: Rui has taken Robo-Nene for upgrades...

Nene: And once they're complete, I'd like to perform together with her.

Nene: (Tsukasa will probably shoot down my suggestion because he wouldn't want Robo-Nene to steal his spotlight.)

Tsukasa: Okay, so we'd be using Robo-Nene for our next play. But what sort of performance do you have in mind?

Nene: Huh?

Nene: (That...was a more positive reaction than I was expecting.)

Nene: Well that... That depends on what upgrades Rui is going to give her...

Rui: If I might offer my suggestion, the play could begin with only Robo-Nene on stage...

Emu: Hmm, yeah! That's cool! Let's tumble with this idea!

Tsukasa: It's let's roll with, not tumble!

Tsukasa: Anyhow, I like the novelty of it. You got me on board.

Nene: That's...cool.

And from her Kamiyama Fes card story:

[After Nene gives her idea for their next show’s plot]

Nene: Um... We're really doing this?

Tsukasa: Hey, what's this now? It was your own suggestion!

Tsukasa: Okay, we've got the basics down. Now to hammer out the details!

Nene: (Th-They're really going with my suggestion...)

[…]

Nene: (It might be even more fun if you could get different stuff each day or week...)

Tsukasa: Nene, do you have anything you'd like to add?

Nene: Huh?

Tsukasa: Don't be shy. It's your story after all!

Nene: Um... I-I was just about to say something, okay?

[…]

Tsukasa: Nene! I'm going to start writing the script. I need some more input from you.

Nene: Huh? But I already told you everything.

Tsukasa: That couldn't have been everything! This is your chance to make yourself heard and create your very own play. Don't pass it up!

Nene: (What happened to his overblown ego? He's always so pushy about putting what he wants in the script.)

Nene: Fine, I'll see what else I can think of... But you need to contribute too, okay...?

Rui also echos what KAITO said in Kamiyama Fes later in Nene’s Gleaming Stars side story:

& you can see that this is true with how well he gets along with the other people in the workshop in his own Gleaming Stars card story.

In Pandemonium, he also gets along well with his own group in his card story despite being very… himself. And trying to make a star shaped cup on a spinning pottery wheel.

And in the second part of that card story, 1) we learn that he frequently talks with them, and 2) Rui’s group reveals that Tanaka, Yamaguchi, and Fujiwara are all considered popular and cool.

…which is something Tsukasa evidently does not pay attention to or care about. Guy who is immune to the high school social order because he just treats all his peers equally. They’re all future fans friends to him.

From his Kamiyama Fes card again:

I think that even if he notices people laughing at him/thinking he’s bizarre, he views it with this mindset and brushes it off pretty quickly. He’s very confident in himself! He likes himself! Why would he pay attention to any negativity aimed towards something he has no desire to change (his personality)? His loved ones (saki, toya, wxs) all like him just the way he is, so he likes himself just the way he is, and that’s all there is to it.

^ That ofc depends on whether or not he even realizes people aren’t singing his praises. Also from is Kamiyama Fes card story:

Akito & Mizuki are like wow he just said something kinda smart & Tsukasa’s immediate reaction is “they admire me so much I must give them a token of appreciation” (which he also did in Akito’s initial 3 star (?) where he gave Akito & Toya PXL tickets despite Akito pretty clearly not wanting them).

He’s kind of the opposite of Nene, in that Nene enters just about every social interaction going “they’re gonna think I’m so weird what do I even say they don’t want to talk to me at all (spiraling)” & Tsukasa enters every social interaction going “I am so great I bet they’re happy to talk to me (regardless of how they act) and they are enjoying this conversation.” He doesn’t take it seriously when someone like Shiho or Akito are like “🙄 oh great it’s this guy”, and he esp doesn’t take it seriously when wxs poke fun at him.

As readers/viewers who see A Lot of him, it’s pretty easy to go “he is so fucking weird. How do people like him,” but that ignores that most characters find his antics pretty entertaining. Take Mizuki as an example, because even after knowing him for a short period of time she was like “oh this dude is a riot I love it.” As for the characters who found him obnoxious at first, after spending enough time around him to see that he’s a nice guy underneath the ego and attitude, he wins them over (Nene). That, or he earns their respect (Shiho and Akito) which later leads to actual friendship once they’ve built up a tolerance to his personality through repeated exposure.

TLDR:

1) Other characters find Tsukasa funny/entertaining and are able to see that he’s a genuine and kind guy underneath the ego.

2) He’s very extroverted and has zero issues striking up a conversation with literally anyone, whether they’re very popular or someone who doesn’t socialize at all. He treats his peers equally.

2.5) this, coupled with the fact that he’s very friendly, makes people enjoy talking to him and view him as a friend pretty quickly (gesturing at the fact that he still talked to Asahi after Curtain Call and how quickly Bakuno opened up to him).

3) Self confidence will get you everywhere, and he has a lot of that. Some would say too much.

4) Even if someone doesn’t like him very much, he either doesn’t notice or doesn’t give a fuck. People are laughing at him? Well, they’re having a good time and that’s what matters. Denseness + self love is an incredible shield.

Tsukasa is like if you combined a jester/clown with a very extroverted friendly dog. Yes Kamiyama students/fellow actors/his friends/etc think he’s an egotistical weirdo, but he’s THEIR egotistical weirdo, and they (for the most part) enjoy his freak behavior.

[foolishsweet]

Ok so the person down (@/aoyogu) made Opposite Day VBS and the person Up (@/kleinnsed) made Opposite Day WxS in the quotes. And what I like about it is that Tsukasa would still be the perfect leader for this group, and also hilariously the most optimistic in comparison.

The rest of this post is a LONG idea of how their dynamic works and how things could work out:

Emu: I don't know why my sister hired you all. there is no point doing any of this... Wonder stage is doomed either way...

Tsukasa: ...So? If it's so hopeless then there is no reason NOT to do whatever you want with it is there?

Emu: ...I guess...

Rui: YOU DON'T GET IT. THERE ARE SAFETY RESTRICTIONS AND RULES THAT WE HAVE TO FOLLOW FOR THIS. LOOK AT THIS PLACE. THERE IS NO WAY WE CAN DO A SHOW HERE WITHOUT FIXING IT!!!

Tsukasa: ok so let's fix it then...

Rui: oh yeah? With what money?!?! They are already planning to tear this place down, there is no way we are gonna get any support for this!!!

Tsukasa: Aren't we already hired tho?... Can't we threaten to sue for making us work in "this" conditions or something...?

Rui: I-! I am-!...... You... You have a point... >:(

Nene: UWAAAAaaaa b-b-but- what if something goes wrong?!? If one of us forgets out lines?!?!? O-o-or if it rains that day?!?!! Or the lights fall off??!?!! Or the STAGE BREAKS INTO A FIRE?!?!? OR THE AUDIENCE HATES IT AND WE GET BOOED AND GET TOMATOES TROW-

Tsukasa: **shrugs** idk we try again I guess... If the stage breaks we can ask to get it fixed... Or just do the show outside...

Nene: oh... R-right...

Rui: Outside? WITHOUT PERMITS?!?!? ARE YOU SOME DELINQUENT?!?!?!

Tsukasa: *shrugs again*

Nene: B-b-bit what of the police come arrest us?!?!!

Tsukasa: Emu can bail us out...

Emu: I won't.

Tsukasa: that's fair...

Like, I think they could get past the main story. they would be a Troupe that brings smiles by using the catharsis of tragedies, making people feel seen and have their fears and worries be represented in ridiculously dramatic ways that make them look so simple and mundane, making them laugh with tragicomedy.

And maybe they won't be able to save the Wonder stage, but they could continue, if nothing to reuse WxS theme of death and rebirth, Emu seeing that her dreams to protect Wonder stage die, yet still going forward, instead of protecting, she rediscovers the magic that died with her grandpa, ironically thanks to Tsukasa, of doing things that make people smile for no real reason other than because you feel like it.

It would also work so well with Rui's backstory, that he became a lot more stricter with rules to avoid being alienated from shows, yet also became a lot more judging of people because of mistrust and paranoia, thus he is still seen as a weirdo. Yet, he meets a bigger weirdo being Tsukasa, who just does what he feels like and doesn't talk much so people avoid him. So now we get another reverse of canon where their relationship is Tsukasa doing or suggesting things that are beyond the norm and Rui going crazy stressed, thinking of how to do the things this guy is proposing without breaking something (be it the preformer or the law) but secretly loves it bc he still gets to do amazing shows.

Then Ruinene are a stress bomb, with Nene worrying about everything and Rui taking all of her concerns so seriously he stresses himself out too. Nene has practically the same arc even, with her becoming braver and seeing Tsukasa as a rival to her ambition while also secretly admiring him for his willingness to just, do things. And how she wants to do the same and MORE without being so scared of everything.

And then there is Tsukasa, who seems like he doesn't care and really doesn't at first, who forgot his ambition when he saw that he couldn't make his sister smile no matter what he did and became indifferent to everything (but not apathetic). He is helping Emu because "what's there to lose?", it's a way to waste time for him doing something interesting, or so he tells himself. He tells Rui of what he is thinking of doing because "it's not like he is gonna stop me", unknowingly planting a seed of trust. He tells Nene not to worry, "We all fail, it doesn't mean anything", words that have given him the courage to continue too. And, gradually...

Saki: big brother, you are doing a lot these days...

Tsukasa: not really... I'm just doing what I like...

Saki: yeah but, you look like you are putting a lot of effort.

Tsukasa: ...you think?... It doesn't feel that way...

Saki: but it looks like it. ...you really care a lot about your new troupe, don't you?

Tsukasa: well no- i don- I'm- ... ...... .........? ??? ??????? *Blue screens*

[project-sekai-facts]

yo, do ya have any favourite lyrics and/or line distributions? akito getting multiple lines about dogs is neato

Hoshizora no Melody has my favorite lyrics in the game it's not even a tough choice. I love how well every character's arc is conveyed through only a few lines it's so good. Emu could never and would never leave PXL (her grandad) behind, and WxS was able to finally change things for her and help her protect it. Rui was outcast his whole life and he came to accept it as something that would never change - it wasn't until WxS (Tsukasa) reached out to him and let him be passionate about his dreams without judging him that he was finally able to turn things around. Tsukasa throws his all into theatre (making people happy) and it's something that is so deeply ingrained as a part of himself, but WxS let him actually pave the way to make his dream a reality. Nene was too shy to face anyone and couldn't get over the things in her way (her past failures), but she was able to rediscover her passion for singing and is able to sing for everyone once again.

The prechorus parts too, Emu and Tsukasa sing the part about realising that the world can make people smile because both of their dreams are to make people smile. Emu and Rui singing about the world giving life back to things they'd given up because Rui gave up on the thought of belonging and Emu was going to have to give up the Wonder Stage. Rui getting the part about celebrating the colors of the world because his dream is to create shows that anyone can enjoy regardless of identity.

As you said I think Akito getting lines about dogs is a nice little bit of recurring irony. I particularly like this example from Gekokujo that conveys his unwavering determination and drive even when he's faced with forces pushing against him really nicely. Also just Gekokujo's lyrics as a whole I think reflect the event so well.

N25 probably has the best lyric game like there's so many good examples from their songs. Particular favorites would have to be Engeki for summarising basically Mafuyu's entire life in such a gut-punching way, and Tricologe for a similar reason for Hoshizora in that it just does such a good job of representing every character.

IDSMILE/lower parallels my beloved <3

Gunjou Sanka is another favorite of mine. If you couldn't tell by now I love stuff that either tells a story or describes a character. Or both. All of Gunjou Sanka is so good and really packs a punch with the emotions but I really like the first verse and prechorus here where it describes the basics of each main story in just one or two lines each. I especially love the Leo/need segment about being able to believe in wanting to stay together since they've moved on from their pasts and are reuinted now.

And how could I forget Mr. Showtime. This one has such clever lyrics and I love the use of parentheses to add secondary meanings to certain parts. The whole song is perfection but I'm particularly fond of this section here, specifically the last line because it understands Tsukasa so much better than like half the fandom does. Theatre is something that Tsukasa genuinely dedicates everything to, in some ways (every way) it is his life. Phoenix is a great example to demonstrate that because it highlights just how much it means to him and how he's willing to put it above everything else, including his own wellbeing, to try and overcome the obstacles he faces. At the end of the day though, even if it's tough and can feel like it's taking too long or isn't worth it, the roadblocks he doesn't anticipate are the ones that help him improve most and get closer to his dream than anything else.

also just this one lyric from Showtime Ruler I love character development. Karasuyasabou actually says that's his favorite in the song, and he talked quite a lot about the lyrics for the rest of the song in his corocoro interview. I'd suggest giving it a read because it's pretty interesting what he says about how he wrote it.

this is getting a bit long so i'll stop here haha

[aroace-poly-show]

tier list of who in hw is the most likely to kill themself to least likely. you are free to give me your arguments for others though lets have fun discussion time about. this. yeah /silly

nene - did i ever mention she’s already had an attempt. yeah. smth smth she hates being a burden and thinks rui would be better off without her. yeah

rui - again. i’ve mentioned it before i think in my really early hw posting. probably the first ruinene post i think. but yeah the only thing stopping him is the fact he thinks its unfair for him to get to have peace and leave nene to deal with what he caused (hashtag self blame <3) however like. possibly after nene’s first event?? idk but once nene seemingly has people other than him to rely on and its not just him and her now i think he’d possibly be more willing. i think he would have potential especiallyyy with wonder halloween. ohhhh i could be so fucking evil i have another non-canon fic idea now ohohohohohoo. but yeah

emu - not That likely but like. the thought lives with her a lot. she thinks about it somewhat often. smth smth getting to join her grandpa too. yeah. but she has her friends and she has things to do around phoenix wonderland to make people happy as best she can so she tries not to think about it

tsukasa - very very unlikely i think. esp with saki i don’t think he could ever like get the will to try. if he hit absolute rock bottom for like. much longer than he does in main story (cause he does kinda hit a really low point but he is tsukasa tenma and he moves on too quickly for the idea of suicide to be anything more than a brief thought he brushes off (or at least tries to. guy who ignores all his problems ever)) then he’d probably think about it more and consider it but i think it’d take like. A Lot for him to really attempt or smth. do you get me

Feel free to give me any criticism, questions or thoughts in the notes or in my asks, I will elaborate on my thought process

Also whilst I'm here I have ideas on like their nationality cuz i think its important to note down cuz like I put thought into it

Inkopolis Natives Ichika, Airi, Akito, Emu, Kanade, Ena

Octovalley Natives Honami, An, Nene, Rui, Mizuki

Splatsville Natives Shiho, Minori, Shizuku, Kohane

Deepsea Metro Natives Saki, Toya, Tsukasa, Mafuyu

Calimari County Natives Haruka

+ BONUS THOUGHTS

the Calimari Inkantation is just sung by the vocaloids cuz like of course

each unit knows the vocaloids, they are different ppl

L/N Miku (Inkling) is the Captain of Neo Squidbeak

MMJ Miku (Inkling) helps MMJ like a manager

VBS Miku (octoling) on a team with Rin, Len and Luka. helps vbs train, doubles w/ luka

WXS Miku (Inkling) she just likes challenge stuff. maybe shes like judd

NIIGO Miku (Octoling) is like a guide in the deepsea, she don't do much. She knows Mafuyu already

I imagine the L/N story being most similar to Splatoon3's main story

Mafuyu is a high-ranking sanitized octoling soldier, despite the Tenmas + Toya being from the Metro too, they don't know each other due to military ranks

Due to the metro being freed, Toya was not fully sanitized like Mafuyu, which is the reason I have come up with for his hair being like that

Akito has seen Ena go into the deepsea before and is very against the idea. Toya says it's probably a bad idea to go there so it must be horrible

Ena and Akito's dad does NOT like octolings and taught them not to since it's a thing a lot of inkling parents tell their kids.

[playroom-sekaii]

May I request little Rui and cg tsukasa?

Yup yup, on it!

-Rui's age range is normally around 4-6, he's not the littlest out there but he's not quite a big kid either. He's a bit scared of bringing up that he's a regressor to others, scared that they'll think he's weird and leave him, but Tsukasa (and Emu, Nene, and Mizuki, his other cgs) is doing all he can to show him that it's alright, it's important for him to be small when he needs to be, a fact Rui is slowly but surely trying to learn.

-Tsukasa likes to think that he's quite a good caregiver! Surely the best big brother in the world would be amazing at taking care of little ones, right? He knows that he has more to learn though, and he's working hard to become the best cg anyone's ever seen! Rui feels incredible flattered that he's willing to do this all for him, he's probably his main caregiver at this point.

-Rui mainly regresses due to how rough his actual childhood was, the bullying and isolation robbing him of the one he truly deserved. Overworking himself and strong emotions are normally what directly cause him to slip, him feeling overly upset, loved, or tired leads to a very little alchemist. He normally tries to hide that he's small, but the others have managed to figure out a few of his tells. He's much more clingy, and he's more likely to show his emotions, so even when he's doing all he can to pretend he's big Tsukasa and the rest of his cgs can see it clear as day.

-It's very common for Rui to slip while working on his inventions, leading to a lot of frustration from the poor little one. He's still quite smart when he's regressed, but these days his robotics and such are so complex, and he just can't seem to get them to work right, he should be able to do this...to prevent any unnecessary tears Tsukasa normally tries to keep Rui from working on his more complex projects while small.

-However, his little one still has that inventing itch, but Tsukasa knows how to help set it free! He's gotten Rui plenty of things such as blocks and other building toys for when he's small, and he helps him with arts and crafts sort of things too. Sometimes Rui gets an idea for an invention when he's little, and so he doesn't get hurt or upset by making it real Tsukasa will help him build it out of other things! The "bestest rocket in the whole wide world" became one made out of cardboard boxes, the "most amazing fort ever" was built out of pillows and blankets, they're perfect for his little inventor!

-Of course, even while small Rui still loves doing shows! He bases most of them on stories he's read, and Tsukasa is usually one of the first people he shows what he's done, either with his fellow little ones or plushies performing alongside him. His practical effects can't be as elaborate as when he's big, but he still does his best to work with that he can! This usually involves him going to the Virtual Singers for help, or basing his shows on things he can use around him (Emu has the sprinker set up today? He can do a show about the ocean! Oh, he has his blankie? He should do a show where he's a superhero!)

-Rui has a lot of electronic toys, but he's also quite attached to his plushies, mainly a cat named Hidari he's had since he was really young. He almost always has it with him, and if he's ever too embarrassed to tell Tsukasa something he'll have Hidari "say" it. When Tsukasa first saw his little cat it was in very bad shape, but he was able to sew it up good as new for a very grateful little guy <3

-Rui is still quite the dramatic, even when he's little X3 Tsukasa says he has to finish his dinner before having candy? Goodness, how could he hurt him like this?? He's the worst Papa in the whole wide world! How dare! He's a bit more shy with when Tsukasa does nice things for him, getting quiet and trying to insist that he doesn't need it, it's okay. ("Here, Rui, I fixed this hole in Hidari up!" "R-Really? Th-Thank you, don't deserve it..." "Of course you do! You deserve every good thing in the world, little comet!" "Papa...")

-Rui's very scared of making mistakes or causing people to get hurt or upset with him when he's little. Especially Tsukasa, he's terrified at the thought of him not wanting to take care of him anymore. If he ever breaks something or makes Tsukasa even the slightest bit unhappy while he's small, he panics, trying to hide or run away so he won't have to see him get mad or leave him. Luckily, Tsukasa would never do such a thing, and he's always willing to prove to Rui that it's alright, nothing could ever make him stop being his friend or taking care of him <3

-Tsukasa loves putting on shows for Rui when he's small, they always make his small one smile :D he's able to get Rui to do a lot of things he doesn't want to do by turning it into some sort of show or game, like cleaning or going to bed, though his attempts at doing so with getting him to eat his veggies have fallen flat TwT

-Rui's very, very cuddly, being held or snuggled makes him melt. Tsukasa's the only one that can pick him up, so uppies from his papa are very prevalent! One of the few ways to get him to fall asleep is to have Tsukasa beside him, especially with Hidari or a bedtime story <3

[mewmewchann]

...Okay. The cards aren’t even out yet and I’m already noticing things that I need to yell about.

(SPOILERS FOR THE UPCOMING CARDS ON JP)

...So this is definitely an Angstkasa event, right?

well I mean we knew that already, given...

...This.

But given the themes of WxS having to think about splitting up to achieve their dreams that we’ve had in the past few WxS events, I feel like this event is going to punch Tsukasa in the gut especially.

but here’s a funny little thing I noticed about the trained cards.

Rui, Emu and Nene all have the same makeup pattern. Which is cute. But Tsukasa doesn’t.

And his makeup pattern is very clearly A TEAR.

THIS WAS DEFINITELY DONE ON PURPOSE. Not only is his eye makeup pattern completely different from the rest of his troupe, but it’s also A TEAR.

and not just that. Is it just me, or does Tsukasa’s eyes in his trained card look a lot darker than the others?

Like...I wouldn’t say it’s a full Mafuyu eyes moment, but...

BUT IT’S PRETTY DAMN CLOSE.

But the big main thing that jumped out to me with Tsukasa’s trained card is this:

Puppet strings.

Given the themes of WxS having to consider splitting up to pursue their dreams, Tsukasa having - more specifically, controlling - puppet strings in his card is... ...Concerning.

So potentially the story of the event could be Tsukasa having to confront this possibility, but at the start he refuses to even consider it as a possibility and wants to keep his new friends together as much as he can.

...And of course there’s the Mafuyu parallel with her being a marionette and Tsukasa being a puppeteer but if I went into that we’d be here all day-

Idk a lot of this is me just tinfoil hatting and screaming, I have so many thoughts on these

[shirann41]

Color Pallete pls just make up ur minds are you gonna write tsukasa as a silly little goofy man for the funnies who shouldn’t be taken that seriously bcs most of his weird interactions are meant as a joke or as a kid who's loneliness and concern forced him to grow faster and dedicate his life for his family instead of himself and a pretty evident mafuyu parallel because you CANNOT HAVE BOTH

I get that some people don’t like tsukasa angst and feel like it’s just people wanting to see something that’s not there or that it’s just exaggerating but like, you guys. C’mon. All of WxS have pretty sad stuff going on and are not only connected bcs of smiles, but also loneliness.

AND. LIKE. How am I supposed to take him seriously when they literally treat him like a joke?? WxS interactions w him are mostly pretty obviously meant to be humorous, with emu ignoring all he says, nene making fun of him, and rui being rui. Toya’s adoration is also portrayed as a joke a lot of times, and generally kasa is portrayed as a joke; a loud, obnoxious, arrogant kid who does silly poses and embarrasses himself on public and writes silly plays like Romeo battle royale. And it just annoys me cuz we know a lot about him and he’s so much more and yet nothing really changes. And I guess nothing *can* change bcs those are his character traits and like the core of the character. And his sekai. But it also sucks and feels kind of unfair to me that he’s not really allowed to be taken seriously even after all his events.

He’s literally mafuyu’s parallel. Mafuyu was an unwilling marionette of his mother, molding herself and her life around her, even though she convinced herself that she didn’t care about that, about anything, while Kasa almost wanted to be be one, and molded his identity based on what he thought would make others happy (his family, after what he saw on that show), even though in his main story he seemed to have convinced himself that he was doing it for himself. (And eventually remembered that it was for others)

This whole post makes absolutely no sense probably cuz I haven’t rlly organized my thoughts I’m just rambling and so I’m not gonna tag it but. Idk there’s something about how kasa is portrayed that irks me???? And it just doesn’t feel right

Edit: I changed my mind I’m adding tags anyway lmao

stanza one lines 1+2 - "It's okay, it's okay. I, playing the fool,/am merely a nameless clown in this small circus." setting up tsukasa as a fucking CLOWN amirite but yeah. tsukadayadayada

stanza 2 lines 1+2 - emu a silly little clown who balances on silly beach balls. also i think she had a ball in her mr showtime card ??

stanza 2 lines 3+4 - "It is simply my job" RUI LINE RUI LINE also he used to get laughed at :(

stanza 3 line 1 - nene + miku line. nene used to stay in the audience and cry and wxs helped her on stage. yeah i kind of made that poetic what you gonna do ab it.

stanza 3 line 2 - emu and rui striving to see people smile :(

stanza 3 line 3 - we know rui's parents aren't around a lot so him singing the part about being unknown to his parents kind of felt right. and nene as an onlooking knowing that his parents know nothing of the bullying n stuff he used to go through like damn

stanza 3 line 4 - i wanted to have tsukasa absolutely absent other than the beginning verse until this part because he doesn't tell his troupe about the pain he's going through unlike everyone else, who at least somewhat know each other's pain !! instead he tries to comfort everyone else

stanza 4 line 1 - tsukasa reassuring everyone that he doesn't hurt but he DOES and he doesnt want to screw up again

stanza 4 line 2 - miku coming in at the part where tsukasa insists HE wants to see people smile bc miku is like ... personification of what he wants and she also wants to see people happy

don't have much for lines 3 + 4 just though they would sound good

stanza 5 - this is really just rui calling tsukasa out on his bullshit + a refrence to the main story where rui gets mad at tsukasa for lying

stanza 6 - just wxs being supportive. specifically in the last line though miku states the part about possibly being embarrassed and that he shouldn't feel that way so yeah

stanza 7 line one - i think emu would also be a good fit for the smile part but she also gets a fuck ton of lines so. also rui mentioning smiles and that tsukasa doesn't have to focus on everyone else all the time !!

stanza 7 line 2 - smile of a dreamer what can i say

stanza 7 line 3 - nene reminding tsukasa that just as wxs didn't leave her alone, they wno't leave him alone !!!

stanza 7 line 4 - EVERYONE reminding tsukasa they're there for him <333 my lovelies

stanza 8 line 1 - i wanted miku to sing that verse kind of like reassuring tsukasa. and tsukasa thnaking them for finding him

stanza 8 line 2 - miku is kind of like tsukasa's reflection so i think them both singing that is nice

stanza 8 line 3 + 4 - they saved tsukasa YASS !!!

also i'm probably going to find covers that kind of match wxs and make a mock-up music video because i need that in my life.

A Sorrowful Farewell at the Curtain Call | Chapter 3

PHOENIX WONDERLAND | WONDER STAGE

Tsukasa: The two androids, me and Asahi... Does that mean it will be a double starring?

Rui: Yeah, that's what’'s going to be.

Well, strictly speaking, the center of this story is Alfred though.

After all, the main plot is about a heartless android who gradually gains a soul.

However, Bartlett also has a final highlight. So I think it's fair to say that it's practically a double starring performance.

Asahi: Great! It sounds interesting! What an honour to play the lead role with Myles.

Tsukasa: …Yeah! Acting with Asahi seems also to be a great learning experience for me.

So… which one of us is going to act as which android?

Rui: About who to assign the roles to, I'm still undecided.

Asahi: Huh?

Rui: I still don't know much about Asahi's acting.

So I'm going to switch between them while practicing alternately and decide for the one that fits better.

Tsukasa: I see, I’d have expected that from you, Rui. I have no objection!

Asahi: Yeah! That kind of stuff is really exciting!

Rui: Thank you very much. As for the other roles, I will bring the script home today and think about them. Will that be okay with everyone?

Emu: Yes!!

ARKLAND member A: I can't wait to see you read the script!

Rui: (Yes. First of all, we're starting in a good mood)

(However, this is where the hard part starts. Since we’re working with the ARKLAND cast, there are a lot of challenges in terms of acting and directing)

( In any case… we'll be ourselves and do the best we can)

SEVERAL DAYS LATER

Rui: Now that everyone's roles have been decided, we'll start the readings today. Ladies and gentlemen, I look forward to working with you.

Tsukasa: I look forward to working with you!!

Asahi: Me too, I look forward to working with you!

Emu: Everyone is full of energy this morning!♪

Nene: T-There are two people with loud voices now…

Asahi: Oh, by the way, Rui-kun.

What are you going to do about the roles of me and Tsukasa-kun for the time being? You'll decide which android to play later, won't you?

Rui: This time, I'd like Asahi to temporarily play the android Alfred from Country A, and Tsukasa to play the android Bartlett from Country B.

And then, depending on the scene and situation, we'll take it in turns

You will both have to learn the script for two roles, though…

Asahi - Tsukasa: “Leave it to me! ” | “Leave it to me! ”

Rui: FuFu, I must say you're reliable.

The others are still the same: Emu is the frontier girl who picks up Alfred. Nene is Bartlett's education sergeant.

Emu: Yes!

Rui: Well then, let's start the reading now.

Tsukasa: “Good morning, Alfred. How are you feeling? "

Rui: One more time.

Tsukasa: …Rui, weren’t youv going to check the flow this time?

Rui: I apologize for saying that, but... It just doesn't feel like an android. I just need you to step into the role a little bit more.

Tsukasa: Hmmm... like an android...

Nene: Acting as an android seems difficult. I wonder how I would do it…

Emu: Hmmm... "Good Morning! Alfred! ” 

Nene: Is that an android...?

Asahi: Hmm…

Hey, Rui-kun, can I have a chance to have a dialogue with Tsukasa-kun at the beginning?

Rui: yes, certainly.

Asahi: Let's do it then, Tsukasa-kun! I'll do my best to look as android-like as possible!

Tsukasa: Oh, thank you very much… Okay, so…

“...Good morning, Alfred. How are you feeling? "

Asahi: “Good morning, Bartlett. I’m fine”

Tsukasa: (W-what? This feeling…)

(It's like if you're talking to someone else. Even though Asahi-san only said one line...)

Asahi:”t's a beautiful sunny day and the temperature is just right. I'm sure even the professor feels comfortable spending time here”

Tsukasa: ( ...! I see. I thought it would be more like an android if I didn't add too much intonation, but…)

(it’s the opposite. If you are intended to be an android that communicates with people, you should speak in a way that is easy for people to understand and with a certain degree of intonation)

“...Since it's so sunny, it would be good if the professor was able to get out of the lab once in a while

Asahi: “That's not going to happen. He's like a mole in the dirt, he likes to stay in his lab”

Tsukasa: “That's right.. Is there something we can do about that isolating habit? ”

Rui: “How irritating to be called a mole. Even tho I’m your creator”

Asahi - Tsukasa: “professor”

Rui: Yup. I think we’re good for now. I think we need to work a little bit more on getting the two of you in tune with each other.

Tsukasa: Really…!

Thank you, Asahi.

Asahi: Haha, actually I didn't do anything.

Tsukasa: No, no. Thanks to you, I think I've got a bit of a better idea of how to be more android-like.

Asahi: Well then, good for you! … And, ah right

What kind of thoughts did the professor in this play have, and for what purpose did he created an android? ... If you think about that and play it out, it might help you to act better.

Tsukasa: …!

(...I see. I thought that if I was thinking about acting as an android, I would act like an android, but…)

(Thinking about that the two androids should be based on the intentions of the doctor in the play... huh?)

(Even though there are so many things to think about, such as what kind of tasks do you want them to do, how humanised do you want them to be...)

Asahi: …Tsukasa-kun?

Tsukasa: Oh, oh! It's nothing!

Emu: You two looked like real androids!

Nene: I was surprised by Asahi-san's performance. But I'm glad Tsukasa was able to adapt too.

Rui: (...As I thought, Asahi-san is going to be a good influence on Tsukasa-kun)

Well then, let's carry on with the reading.

Nene: What do you mean? Are you saying that someone else broke into this lab at the same time as us?

ARKlAND member A: “Stay alert, Sergeant Willis! Think of this as a battlefield! “

Nene: “R-Roger! “

(Wow, what an amazing voice...! My ears are ringing...!)

(But... that's right. If you actually rush in with a gun and something irregular happens, it should give much tension...)

Emu: “Ah? Mom, someone's fallen over there! ”

ARKlAND member B: Oh, Emu-chan. Maybe you should lower your voice a little more in this scene.

This is a frontier area, so the setting doesn't have a lot of military people, but you might be expecting that the person who's fallen could be a soldier.

Emu: Oh, I see! I'll try!

Rui: (...I can see they are the cast of ARKLAND. Even though it's only been a few days since the program was decided, they've done a lot of reading and acting)

(Asahi, in particular, seems to have almost mastered the rather difficult role of Alfred)

(And… apparently it seems that he still has a lot of energy left. Wel…)

(I wonder how Tsukasa will feel upon seeing this)

Tsukasa: (...I didn't expect to see such a difference in ability just from reading together…)

(And it's not just Asahi. All of them had only been given their scripts a few days ago, but they had already read this and gotten into their roles)

(No, that's not all. They think a lot about other roles so that the whole work will be better... Yet I'm so busy with my own role...)

(...No! No! Stars doesn’t have such vulnerable behavior!)

(If you think you don't have enough power, you just need to build it up!)

(...We need to think more and more like i did with Torpe. We need to get closer to the stars of the world...!)

Rui: Now then, let's read through to the end!

Emu: Wow… That was a good story…

ARKlAND member A: I really liked the final scene where they meet on the battlefield…

Nene: Yeah. I'm glad we' re both getting to know each other properly.

Rui: FuFu, I'm glad you all liked it.

(Yes. It's quite a nice atmosphere. Just…a bit uncertain from here on)

(They… I wonder how far they'll be willing to follow my directions)

Well, now that the reading is over, I think I'll start directing the opening scene right away.

Tsukasa: When you say the opening scene, you mean the one where the… laboratory is attacked?

Asahi: The androids’ daily life is suddenly destroyed. I'm looking forward to it because it's a tense scene.

Rui: Yes. Give that sense of tension…

I really want to recreate that attack scene.

END

Next Chapter→

[karamell-sweetz]

oooh i want to know whats up in the revue au! :DD (<- guy who's obsessed w revue but knows a little abt wxs)

bouncing off the walls i am going CRAZY planning this rn! here's the main story section i rewrote:

tsukasa finds a mysterious song called untitled on his phone while preparing for a job interview at phoenix wonderland. upon playing it, the track being a weird ringtone with a picture of a giraffe, he is transported via space-time-breaking elevator to an underground stage, and is greeted by catgirl hatsune miku and her friend the giraffe.

the giraffe details the revue’s purpose: stage girls (or in his case, boys) singing and dancing brilliantly to achieve the ‘top star’ and their dream stage. tsukasa, hungry for recognition on a world-class stage, agrees to join the revue.

he leaves the underground stage and is immediately late for his job interview. joy.

blah blah blah he joins emu at the wonder stage blah blah blah. leaving out the sekai part. tsukasa and emu see rui doing his guerilla show.

surprise. tsukasa gets called to his first revue, and his opponent is rui. tsukasa uses this as an opportunity to try and get rui to join the troupe, and they strike a deal: if tsukasa wins then rui joins (along with a fourth member), and if rui wins then nothing happens and they go about their day. tsukasa wins, but not without a good fight.

stage notes: revue of alchemy (rui v tsukasa)

made to resemble the rooftop

but also there’s a lot of things going on: drones, robot decoys and other unconventional stage directions make it hard for tsukasa to reach rui properly (up until the end, anyway)

rui and nenerobo (aka nene's robot decoy) go to practice the next day. yay.

blah blah blah their first show goes wrong. nene reveals herself and the group splits up due to tsukasa being a dummy and blowing up at her. what joy.

tsukasa faces his next revue against hatsune miku herself. she helps him realise his true feelings about stardom by beating him in the revue.

stage notes: revue of memories (miku v tsukasa)

this serves to replace the scene with the rabbit plushie

the stage is set out similarly to a child’s playset, reflecting tsukasa’s less-polished works from his childhood

the scene changes dramatically depending on the scenario miku wants to depict: e.g. a scene about pirates (in line with the canon scene) makes the stage change to a boat on the waters (and tsukasa has to fight her while the stage is tipping from side to side in the middle of a storm! what joy!)

eventually the stage becomes a hospital room and tsukasa gets to see a re-enaction of an average visit to saki (his sister) when they were younger

as he’s watching, miku takes a chance and takes position zero. tsukasa realises his initial purpose for pursuing an acting career, and thanks miku for the wake-up call.

upon leaving the revue, tsukasa prepares to say sorry to the rest of the gang… but he does it through revues because that’s why i redid the plotline in the first place

stage notes: revue of wonder (tsukasa v emu)

set is made to resemble the theme park: lots of moving platforms as a representative of the ferris wheel, among other things (e.g. trampoline dome, roller coaster)

also emu pulls a mahiru and hops around the other stages (including nene v rui)

tsukasa eventually catches emu on the ferris wheel and that’s when she explains the grandpa thing to him

tsukasa wins

stage notes: revue of secrecy (tsukasa + emu v nene)

made with resemblance to the performance where nene forgot her lines

the revue starts with nenerobo in place of nene, and basically the two just have to chase her around while nene hides in the backstage somewhere

eventually she comes out and fights them

stage notes: revue of loneliness (tsukasa + emu + nene v rui)

similar to revue of alchemy but without the rooftop: instead it has fantasy elements as rui retells his ‘eccentric alchemist’ narrative

kind of runs like a re-live actually… tsukasa jumps on the stage and interrupts the script where rui would have ended/looped the performance

boom. dramatic fight scene. tsukasa dramatically asks rui to rejoin the troupe, which he does (at the expense of his medal).

ta-daaaaaa. peace restored

yeah you still might need to read the canon main story (this is just a copypaste from my notes so far) but yes! things are happening and its still incredibly gay!

and if its not in line with the revue canon let's just say hatsune miku screwed everything up :D

[correctproseka]

A list of every sekai oc from least communist to most communist bc i am bored and my pfp mostly everywhere is a commie miku:

--

20- Akito.

He is probably like a crypto dude until An kicked his ass and convinced him otherwise. He just has the vibes im sorry.

19- Mafuyu.

She just follows whatever her mom does so far, her mom is a big capitalis

18- Kanade

Here we start the neutral ones. Kanade doesn't know a single shit about politics she just wanna nap, valid, queen.

17- Shizuku

She has been an idol with money since as a child, i dont think she knows exactly why people are fighting, but she's on the side of fucking human rights :D.

16- Honami

She's afraid to speak up because of her classmates but she is starting to try and actually be on the side of who she believes in, thanks leoni, Go Honami!

15- Touya

He's going simply against his dad. He doesn't even know if he believes in it that much but he will defend it

14- Haruka

She's a bit confused but Airi is teaching her the ropes

13- Shiho

She's just silently on the commie side and would punch anyone who threatens her but she also kind of grew up rich so she's a bit confused at some things

12- Minori

She's a commie at heart but she's bad at economic and politics so she can't explain her thought very well and her arguments arent thw best

11- Kohane

She's always been against capitalism but not communist… until An. Now Kohane is going in

10- Tsukasa.

He forgets he's bi bc he's chanting for gay rights for Saki i love him.

"Of course i support gay rights my sister is gay"

"Onii-chan, you're also bi"

"... Oh right"

9- Nene

No Rui friend is a capitalist, duh, she hates Elon Musk with all that she have. But she considered investing one time too many to be higher.

8- Saki

Girlie may have lived a sheltered and kinda isolated life but the old ladies at the hospital have a lot of knowledge and some of them include GUILLOTINE

7- Ichika

No idea why just vibes, she doesn't feel like she'd be quiet about politics but i can't explain the reason why shes this high other than she has a lot of communist vibes

6- Mizuki

Does not buy clothes from big chains, they see an outfit from there that they like and recreate it themselves, its canon i know Mizuki personally

5- Airi

Man she would punch a nazi no second guessing. Go go Airi.

4- Emu

She may be rich but she studied economics and she hates capitalism, she had a bit to unlearn but Rui taught her well. Plus like. The wxs storyline is the most commie thing ever

3- Rui.

He literally would arson a bank or a billionaire house if you gave him the idea

2- Ena

Need I say more? She was actually gonna be first place but my friend realized she would fight about it more online then actually be on frontlines

1- An

She literally was created being know by the whole street. Takes a community to raise a child? Yeah thats An, of course she's communist. Leader of the communist rebellion im telling you

-----

This all taken from before main story but on like. 3 cases. Bc its easier.

[aroace-poly-show]

hellloooooo lovely meowtual may you please talk about hw tsukasa?!?!? as per ur request

hehehehhe. you guys are so so niceys to me btw. cries

awawawa so tsukasa tenma. world future star. he isn’t too different from canon tbh. he’s still loud as always, got that high ego, got those memory issues and everything. his past isn’t much different from canon either. his goal to be a star still came from wanting to make people smile like shows made saki smile, but he forgets that, etc etc you get how it goes. but yknow. n25 swap. he isn’t doing great.

he tends to set high standards for himself, and he’s been trying really hard to get into the acting scene, but it hasn’t been going well. the constant failures have slowly but surely been weighing on him. he’s got a lot of frustration building up, and all that has definitely hit him in the self esteem department *just a tad*, but he does not acknowledge that! cause of course he doesn’t. he’s tsukasa tenma, he’s going to be a star! a star like him doesn’t have time to worry about stuff like that. all he needs to do is keep pushing forward, keep trying harder and harder, just don’t think about the past and all the constant setbacks and he’ll be fine! probably. he has to be fine after all. what kind of a star would he be if he wasn’t?

saki and toya do notice smth’s up with him, saki especially, but tsukasa being tsukasa he lies to them, both intentionally and unintentionally. by that i mean like. like he genuinely Does Not Know he’s not fine. he is just avoiding thinking about his own negative feelings too much, so he just does not fucking realize. when he’s confronted with the idea that he might not actually be perfectly fine, he’s genuinely confused. so when he’s asked if he’s okay, he says yes, because he’s sure he is. and sure sometimes he gets a little down, and he does intentionally lie to them those times, but its simply nothing his siblings need to worry about, so there’s no point in telling them! they don’t need to know, cause he’ll be okay! he can deal with it on his own, he *has* to deal with it on his own, he’ll (repress it) get over it soon enough! no need to worry them :)

like i mentioned, tsukasa’s also the only one still actively doing theater at the time of the main story. he loves it, he’s dedicated to it, he hasn’t given up on it yet. and he gets to be the one to get hw back into it. yayayayay. i like to think hw is very fond of him, like rui and nene were w/ emu. here’s another one of their group who holds so much passion for theater and loves it, and who hasn’t given up on it. they believe in him. its like living vicariously through him. yk. they might not know each other too well yet, but they hope it goes well for him.

and like idk but the thing about tsukasa and theater is that its So important to him, he’s devoted so much of his life to it, he can’t see himself doing anything else. he doesn’t have a driving motivation for it, he can’t remember it, but all he’s sure of is that he has to reach this goal. so like. when faced with the idea that maybe he *isn’t* good enough to become a star like he wants to, its terrifying to him. so he just. doesn’t think about that. every failed audition, every rejection, every setback is a reminder of that though. main story gets him to his last straw. which is fun!

again. main story ideas are giving me trouble. and i’m still figuring stuff out. so not elaborating too much on what happens. but after a series of events tsukasa remembers and gets the rest of hw on board w/ trying to do shows again. cause like, again they don’t know each other that well but tsukasa does care about them, he wants to make people smile and his friends are included in that. he wants them to enjoy shows again. he wants his friends happy. and w/ enough persuasion hw joins him and yayy they become a theater troupe. yippee :3 

i might have more thoughts to add later. idk. i’d add a fun facts section but i already mentioned everything i had for him in past posts jdhfgdfjkgl

[pjsk-writin]

Hi! This idea just came to mind since you were talking about Rui fans vs Akito fans

Personally I’m on team Rui just because I’ve liked Rui since I first saw him in the WxS main story and I didn’t really like Akito til the Stray Bad Dog event but I like both characters just Rui a little more

I can’t remember if you did something similar to this or not but

Rui and Akito (separate) crush headcanons on reader and how they try to win reader over or something like that

Like with all my request asks you don’t have to do it if you don’t want to and I hope you’re having a good day!

-🌈

ooo thats so fair!! I've personally always been a big fan of akito bc I was a vbs fan from the start, but rui quickly became one of my faves too <3 and this req is so good bc ik I have one where they're both crushing on reader..... ANWYAY I hope you're having a good day, and I hope you like this! <3

♡ CRUSH CRUSH CRUSH! - Rui Kamishiro and Akito Shinonome x Reader

Rui:

Rui would definitely try being dramatic as all hell to get your attention

I've mentioned before that he shows his trust in you by asking you to do mini shows with him and it applies here

He also shows you a lot of his robotics, and cherishes every piece of praise and amazement you give him

He'll tag along with you whenever he can, telling you his ideas for shows and various stories from practices with WxS

He'll definitely do things like brushing your hands together or placing his hands on your shoulders to show you something, but if asked, he'll say it was an accident. It very much wasn't-

Behind your back, he'll gush about you to WxS. Nene will be exasperated while Tsukasa and Emu give him very out there ideas for ways to ask you out

Akito:

Akito will avoid you for a bit. He will dodge you as much as he can, because surely avoiding you will make the flutter in his chest leave. Surely avoiding you will get rid of his warm face

Except it doesn't, and he doesn’t know what to do.

His first tactic is to play into his charming facade, because surely he'll be more sure of himself. If you're charmed by this, congrats! You spare him of the embarrassment-

If that doesn't work, he just tries to go back to normal, but you can tell that there's something wrong with him. Why does he keep avoiding your gaze?

Once he becomes slightly more sure of himself though, he invites you to his live shows. He feels more free when he performs, and he hopes that his confidence works in his favor

He'll ramble about you to Toya, but he will melt in embarrassment if An or Kohane overhear him. An will tease him while Kohane will just cheer him on <3
