does anyone else even care⁉️

[melto]

its been awhile since ive elaborated on it all so bear with me but like. god i love him so much i really do. i think he plays a really overlooked role in blade especially since like kenzaki and hajime do not give a fuck whatever is happening with him really. he fleshed out the narrative through his internal battle and it has the full potential to be as interesting and heart wrenching as the parts of blade that people pay more attention to. it hammers home the struggle of ideas between good and evil in such a tangible way that compliment the rest of the cast who are easily viewed as it being much larger than themselves. mutsuki is influenced by the world around him in a completely different way and i would say that his struggle is more reliant on the ways that it is failing him, which is unlike the others. he explores these ideas of finding humanity in monstrosity and monstrosity in humanity in different ways that i love.

he's a traumatized 16 year old who is not getting the support he needs to overcome his struggles (his parents do literally saw how they should have gotten him therapy to deal with his trauma related to being a coin locker baby but just dont!) and he is continuously failed by the people around him, no matter how hard they are trying. kenzaki and co just dont give a fuck, teachers at his school dont care when he struggles and just go missing, his parents openly admit to not supporting him enough and tachibana. well i'll speak on that later. mutsuki is constantly made to be the perfect victim for the spider undead and he cant break out of this cycle because he doesnt know how or have the resources to work through his issues. he's so hyper focused on being strong and good that he feels that he has to kill any and all weakness inside of him and there isn't any room for nuance because he is just a crybaby shitty teen.

he's stuck surrounded by these adults that are setting these unattainable standards for him to reach to because his situation is not being considered, he feels punished for his weakness and his inability to grow and well. he's 16 every day you wake up and it is truly the end of the world. mutsuki had to be good and strong and worthy or else he's in the locker again.

the thing with tachibana is that he DOES care for mutsuki, so much but he is misguided in his ways that he tries to help mutsuki, and those ways leave mutsuki even more vulnerable to the spider undead. tachibana cant let go of this head that mutsuki should only have this light in him (his dead gf had said something about children having light in them and he def internalized that loads), and does not acknowledge that mustuki, like everyone, will always have light and dark within them. tachibana is really the first adult to show such care for mutsuki so mutsuki really internalized these ideas that tachibana puts on him and struggles to let them go throughout the series and due to tachibana not being able to recognize this darkness that mutsuki has and not being able to reach through to him, it leaves mutsuki in the hands of the undead, where mutsuki does the most interesting things for the narrative. not only is he offered by support by them, he also humanizes the undead in ways that had only been seen with hajime. there is also this really awesome like, formation of family he has like everyone. kenzaki with kotaro and shiori, hajime with amane and her mom, and the mutsuki with hikaru (tiger undead).

shima kicked off it but he was ultimately unable to get through to mutsuki fully bc he also wanted mutsuki to reach an arbitrary level of good. with hikaru ultimately it worked because she fully takes the expectation of "good" off of him and to do whatever he wants with his strength after finding it in every aspect of himself. she explicitly tells him that he has to carry both light and dark within him and that it is natural for them to exist and that will ebb and flow as his life goes on. she offers him autonomy that no one else ever has before, and she is someone he looked up to due to her strength. she gives her life for him because she truly believes in his ability to shape and control his own future.

she really doesnt have anything to gain from helping mutsuki and really didnt want to at first at all. she was angry at the riders and humans for starting the battle fight again and changing the rules and making it something it wasnt supposed to be and seeing mutsuki like suck at fighting and shit also made her mad bc like where does he get off thinking hes sooo strong? but she sticks around him bc hes annoying and wont leave her alone bc hes like i will seal you so i can get an upgrade bc she's the queen of clubs so he's need her to use a jack or king form. but she literally gains nothing by coming to love and care for him the way she does or by letting him seal her. it literally by just spending time with him and seeing how he really is struggling first hand and how she can see herself in him in ways that are hurting him and shes watching him actively push against the spider undead and the nuances of this teen who's already in a weird place in his life and has preexisting trauma have even more dumped on him with no one really taking the time to understand and work with him bc mutsuki influenced by the undead is telling her thats hes going to seal her and beat her and win everything but mutsuki himself is feeding her and patching her up and he says he doesnt know why or anything but hes actively caring for her like she is him which is why again i think she's the reason he really is able to break out of the undead's grasp after he seals her like she wanted and uses her power and all the stuff she says and man it just makes me mad that tachibana gets so much credit for helping mutsuki when she really did the most even if tachibana was the most consistent.

hikaru learns so much about humanity through mutsuki and is able to move past her hatred of humans for him. she connects with him as someone who also feels abused and jerked around by both the undead and the humans. and mutsuki is able to humanize this darkness and himself thanks to her.

nozomi also cant be understated enough, as she always had his back and was pushing against the adults who had been abandoning him. queen she loves her crybaby bf!!! and im glad she gets him back!! was was so meek and unable to take/give a compliment and fully get sentences out in the beginning of blade its really nice to see him come back into his crybaby self but apply the things to make him into someone more confident now that he has been taught that there isnt an aspect of himself that is dragging him down. etcetc so on and so forth. another thing about mutsuki that is so awesome is that what he experiences as a teenager truly influence his future. the blade drama cd not just having him go do research with tachibana and instead having him focus on a career where he can help kids with their mental health through sports...they could have just made him a basketball coach but they didnt!! they made a specific point to have him involving himself in ways that will help kids never be failed by adults like he had, he wont let them slip under the radar like he did. (there is something to say about how in the missing ace movie that he is just a corporate worker. but i cant thinking about the implications of kenzaki sealing hajime and how fucked up the world ended up bcuz of it or i'll freak out rn)

anyways. mutsuki is so awesome. its so fucking awesome that mutsuki exists and really allows for such complex analysis on strength and autonomy and the effects of responsibility. he is such an awesome character to have as the first child rider and people just do not give him enough credit!!!! and it pissed me off crazy style!!! if mutsuki has 0 fans then i am no longer on this earth!!

hope that all made sense. my internal mutsuki timer is going off so i have to stop myself or else im gonna get real bummed out. mustuki you are forever famous to ME!!!

i had a category 5 hajime moment this morning that i mostly restrained myself from posting about but i think we should switch it up this evening. let's do mutsuki monday what have we got to say about mutsuki

[melto]

if mukky has a million fans, then i am one of them. if mukky has ten fans, then i am one of them. if mukky has only one fan then that is me. if mukky has no fans, then that means i am no longer on earth. if the world is against mukky, then i am against the world.

since i have never made an actual post about it but haiiiii! *twirls my hair* i have an ongoing list where i keep track of shows/movies that have toku actors playing gay in them!

im constantly updating because of new shows or just discovering more roles that actors have had. i try keep it to things where they are canonically gay, and also try to mark down any other toku actors that may be in something even if they arent playing gay but there. i mark down when gay kissing happens as a personal treat for me and my friends. if you know someone is in something and i missed them, u can always shoot me a message here!

anyways have fun in the beautiful world of toku actors playing gay<3
