Mizu was wrong to let Akemi be taken because they both deserve better

First, a confession. When I saw this for the first time:

I was relieved. I knew that was what Mizu was going to say and I felt like it's what I would have said in that situation too.

When Akemi does this:

I cringed, because if we know anything about Mizu, it's that she (1) isn't quick to make friends (though to be fair, even though Akemi did try to kill Mizu, so did Taigen - multiple times! - and look how that turned out lol), and (2) doesn't take orders.

So when Akemi and Ringo and later Taigen get angry at Mizu, are they being unfair?

Sure, Mizu isn't obligated to treat Akemi - or Taigen or Ringo or anybody else - nicely, or to serve them, or to be honorable, or be a hero to them, or whatever. No human being is obligated to any other human being. We all have the choice to do whatever we want to anybody else. But the point of flawed characters in storytelling is the tension between those characters and their potential. Their growth into someone who can choose the higher, harder path, who chooses to be obligated to others, who chooses kindness and compassion.

Because Mizu's problem isn't revenge. Nobody is preaching at Mizu that revenge isn't the answer. Her circumstances do suck, her life has been incredibly unfair, she is marginalized, and as far as we and Mizu know for most of the season, she is a child born of violence and no one is saying that that violence doesn't deserve to be repaid in kind.

Mizu's problem is isolation. And the fact that she thinks she has no responsibility toward her fellow human beings, because her hatred of her own circumstances and her having no life outside of her quest devours everything else. This is a problem because it turns Mizu into the worst version of herself. A version that hurts the people who like Mizu, the people who care about her.

Practically, Mizu has just taken on an entire army almost by herself. She's hurt. She's exhausted. If she were to defend Akemi now, it'd be yet ANOTHER fight, this time against horsed and armored samurai.

But that's not the reason Mizu gives Ringo. Mizu's ability or willingness to fight isn't even on her mind. All she says is, "She's better off."

"She's better off" is Mizu deciding what's best for Akemi. Akemi's entire story is about her being a caged bird longing to fly free.

One after the other, every man and woman in Akemi's life makes her decisions for her. She has to grovel and smile prettily and lie through her teeth just for the chance to be heard. Mizu judges Akemi for being a rich princess who isn't being more grateful for what she has, all without understanding Akemi's situation, and without any curiosity for why Akemi feels the way she does. From Akemi's perspective, Mizu is just one more person (one more man!) in a long lineup who ignores Akemi's wishes and (casually!) makes a decision for her that impacts Akemi's life greatly.

In the end, even Seki concludes that Akemi should get to decide what's best for Akemi. What others think that Akemi SHOULD want does not matter compared to what Akemi wants for her own life. As Madame Kaji said - Madame Kaji, who despite calling out the weirdness of Akemi's situation as well as the childishness of her decision to run away - is the only person Akemi meets who doesn't try to make decisions for Akemi, but instead only challenges Akemi to work for and be worthy of what she wants - she needs to decide what she wants for her own fucking self, and then take it.

Mizu being born female does not make her automatically wiser for letting Akemi be taken, and it does not preclude her from having a hand in giving Akemi back to her jailers. A patriarchy that Mizu knows full well would stop Mizu from achieving her own goals if she didn't present as male.

Mizu is still understandable here. She just had to kill Kinuyo, a disabled girl sold by her father into prostitution, a girl in a situation so far beyond Akemi's worst imaginings that I can practically feel Mizu's world being rocked just by comparing them in her mind the way she most likely is. That still doesn't make it right for Mizu to let Akemi be carried off to be sold into marriage by her father against her wishes. Those "good options" Mizu thinks Akemi has don't exist, no more than they ever existed for Mizu. Akemi and Mizu both have to get creative, make the best of their circumstances, take dangerous risks, and break rules in order to have any control over their own lives.

Even on my first watch, when at first I thought that Mizu had made the right decision and that Akemi was being unreasonable, Akemi screaming Mizu's name while being dragged, LITERALLY DRAGGED, back to her father was haunting as hell.

Mizu had the power to help Akemi, and simply chose not to.

Mizu lets Akemi be taken, Akemi who has just begun to trust Mizu. Mizu calls Ringo weak and quickly - seemingly easily - turns her back on him. Mizu values her quest over Taigen's life, after Taigen has endured days of torture to protect her, and she not only risks his life in the process, but doesn't tell him that Akemi is engaged to someone else, or that she came looking for Taigen, or that she is in danger.

Mizu's sword breaks because it is too brittle. Too pure. Too singleminded. Mizu only melts down the meteorite metal when she mixes the metal with objects from parts of her life that have nothing to do with her quest. Objects from the people she cares about, and who care about her.

All I'm saying is - Mizu doesn't have to be a hero. But she is the better version of herself when she reaches out to help and connect with others. When she's just a decent, kinder human being. And I think that's what this story is telling us that we should want for Mizu.

"Are you…lecturing me on how to be more threatening? You?"  "I'm plenty threatening." "In what world?" "I'm a Death Eater! Very dangerous." "I've seen you crying to a ghost in a girls loo, Malfoy, you'll excuse me if I'm not trembling from fear."

"Wait," Teddy says, "he's not your special friend?"  "No, Teddy, my special friend is a girl."  "So, boys can't be special friends?"  "I—" Harry's mouth hangs open, eyes very round behind his glasses, clearly caught out. Hopeless. Utterly, despicably hopeless. He's so visibly in over his head that it's genuinely amusing, and Draco is finally starting to understand what's going on here, why Teddy looked so surprised to see him at the door; the girlfriend must be coming over, but Draco just so happened to get here first.  "Yes, of course they can," Draco answers Teddy, who looks up at him without blinking. "It's just that I'm not that. Or, well, I'm very special, so that's fitting, but I'm not Potter's friend. In fact, I'm his mortal enemy." Teddy frowns at him. "So, why are you in his house?"  "I visit," Draco says simply.

Teddy blinks at them from the doorway. His gaze flicks between them, and he says, very softly, "I heard shouting."  "Yes, we—" Harry's voice is thick, raspy, so he clears it once, twice, a third time, and tries again. "We had a…disagreement. I'm sorry you had to hear that, Teddy." "You're fighting?"  "No. Er, well, yes. A little bit. It's fine."  "You were kissing," Teddy says. "I saw it."  Harry's eyes sink shut for a moment, and he drags a hand through his hair, which Draco may have accidentally made a mess of, then he blows out a deep breath and opens his eyes. "That's—well, that did happen, yes. That was…something we did."  Teddy's eyes narrow. "I thought you were mortal enemies."  "Mortal enemies kiss…sometimes," Harry says weakly, clearly out of his depth here. He grimaces almost immediately after he says this, then seems to remember he's the adult out of the two of them and coughs, standing up taller.

Can we just talk about how it's stated over and over that Katniss is a terrible liar but when Peeta's life is in danger she's suddenly an academy award winner

[torntruth]

holding your lover by the jaw to kiss them . - for evie or any other ship you want to write this for

kiss prompts , accepting , @ofspvrta .

it took some reasonable arguing. it took some understanding. it took evie registering it as a solid plan for it to even happen , but they have the tiniest apartment in the middle of a busy city much farther away than the cozy shack in the middle of the woods and surely haunted mansion. there were kids shouting in the street , someone was drunk enough that he just didn't make sense past a couple of words. and evie was trying to concentrate on the notebook of notes and drawings she took to understand this whole situation more , but she couldn't quite focus. BUT SHE WAS SO VERY EVIE. one hand in the gauntlet , the other in white glove , fingers just resting away from ink on the notebook. at least 3 layers of a neat and organized outfit. EVIE CLOSES THE NOTEBOOK.

and blue eyes shift to the familiar steps and the heartbeat that's suddenly tuning out just about everything else.

those blue eyes gaze appreciatively over kassandra , from the way kassandra's outfit was lose , collarbone revealed , over kassandra's neck and then blue eyes meet golden. and when kassandra's hand reaches out to cradle evie's jawline , she practically molds into the taller woman , just taking that step until her hand was resting ont kassandra's stomach. evie leans up to meet the height difference and all she hears is kassandra's beating heart. and it isn't offensive. it isn't worrisome. IT IS JUST ALIVE. as evie needs kassandra.
