I can’t explain what blue eye samurai makes me feel…….its a typical revenge story, a man sets out on his hero’s journey to kill the four men who have wronged him. A lone ronin, wide brimmed hat and sword in hand, roaming Edo Japan on his vendetta. But he’s not a man. He’s a woman. And how has he been wronged? What’s she getting revenge on?
On the fact that she exists. She wants revenge on the four white men that could possibly have conceived her. Who got her Japanese mother pregnant with a blue-eyed child. And not just any blue-eyed child, but a girl child. How is she possibly supposed to live in the world like that? For the wrong of being conceived, for the wrong of being born, for the wrong of being birthed into a world that will never love or accept her, she will kill her father.
I don’t know what level of convoluted self hate that is. Is she a child of rape? Or a child of a whore? Halfway through I realise what she told herself at the start couldn’t possibly be true - it’s not really for her mother. Her mother wasn’t the root of her vendetta, she wasn’t really doing it for her. When she leaves that farm and leaves the chance to live a simple, legitimate life as a woman, she goes right back to hunting down the men. Those men personally wronged her.
And then there’s so much to be discussed surrounding the way she grew up, because as a boy child and a man she can afford so much more than life has dealt her. Her swordfather who took her in out of the love and care in his heart had no shame in teaching a mixed man his art. The face of a ‘demon’ is fine. But not the identity of a woman. Shh. Don’t say it. Don’t confess. He knows and doesn’t want to hear it.
And because she’s lived that way her entire life for safety and security, she’s so completely alienated from being a woman, perhaps she really is he. But not really by choice. Or is it? The thing she does best is the art of killing, the art of men. Gender is a prison and gender is a performance and she has to choose which to perform. The times cannot reconcile hatred and violence with a woman. So she lives as a man.
So she can get revenge on her father, for revenge on herself.
#blue eye samurai#everything about mizu is so deeply upsetting#like ok revenge!!#revenge of what - exactly?!#white men?#and/ or your white self?#born against your will?#and who and what shapes this will of yours except the society you were born in?#this is so deeply fucked in every way#but anyways#I love Mizu and I hope he kills his father dead. if only - if only that would satisfy her.#my posts

Billie Bob - Bobby's - Bob
Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (Jim Jarmusch, 1999)
Billie Bob Thornton appeared in Jim Jarmusch's Dead Man (1995) and Jarmusch appeared in Thornton's Sling Blade (1996).
Maybe 'Bobby's' is also a nod to RZA (real name: Robert Diggs) and his alter ego Bobby Digital, which he originated in 1998 with the studio album Bobby Digital in Stereo.
Jarmusch named Bob Solo after two Harrison Ford characters in George Lucas films, Bob Falfa from American Graffiti (1973) and Han Solo from Star Wars.

after many years of being strong // may you have the chance to be gentle again
#simon blackquill#aura blackquill#athena cykes#ace attorney#more fanfi c deleted scenes :V this is how i deal w being stressed#i hope its clear theyre getting simons stuff from auras storage unit and putting aura's stuff in while shes in priso n#this sequence is also many headcannons deep. mainly that he was into birds before samurai stuff and also is autisti c#there's scholarship abt the correlation btwn being aut istic and tra ns. not that simon is but he mightve been Bad At Gende r in other ways#as in Let Me Bring My Soft Pink Thing To School. which might lead you to seek out more mas c interests at some point#like strong muscuIar men fighting each other with swords. A very manIy interest for someone whos 1000% straigh t of course#Also if you consider the timing and Auras whole Vibe I think you will agree she was a scene queen#my art
