#this is about rui btw

[aroacewxs]

wanting to talk about your favourite character, but

can't articulate thoughts into words

can't stay on a single tangent

keeps forgetting details

overthinking your characterization

"I don't know how to describe it ok like you have to read the story to fully grasp it"

"do you want to see my daughter" "sure" (shows photo) "there they are" "is that your daughter" "yes" (end of conversation)

can't express your adoration for a character properly except through "I Hate Them I hate them i hate them i hate them i need them GONE"

And here they all are!!! All the court cards + Jokers + card back I've done for my Polysho Poker Set (so far)!!!

This has been a huge project and I'm so so proud and happy with how they all turned out 🥹 here's to hoping I manage to finish the whole deck 🙏

giggling at the idea of Rui cleaning, finding mold somewhere, and instead of using mold remover products he just sighs, takes off gloves, and places the palm of his hands on whatever surface the mold is

you know what guys. after this whole thing goes down, i hope we get the ACTUAL kamiyama school festival and it is a very good comparison to the first one. where we can see clearly how much mizuki has grown since that first event in january 2021, since that first school festival in middle school.

and i hope mizuki gets to have fun with her friends and can hang out with ena. and i hope ena has fun too. i hope she gets to tease akito, forge bonds with her classmates at the fried squid stall, and hopefully get roped into a dumb show with the oddballs 1 2. i hope this is ena’s pandemonium. i hope we all can have a little bit of joy and whimsy while getting to see how much the gang’s lives have changed at this point.

and i hope rui is a little worried for mizuki — i sincerely hope he is somewhere in mizu5, quietly waiting by the rooftop like he always has for her. but by the end of the schoolfes event he can look at mizuki, her whole face bright as all eight students in our little kamikou main cast gang come down from the rooftop (for one last time maybe, but we don’t talk about graduation in front of rui… unless ofc we bring it up this event) and he can say “you’ve come such a long way, haven’t you, mizuki? i’m happy for you.”

My friend called tab/dave sans Undertale I'm gonna cry myself to sleep

[causeimcrayzeebee]

no you don’t understand, rui meddling in akito and tsukasa’s relationship pre and post confession is absolutely necessary. you think those guys are gonna put themselves out there on their own? HELL no. godbless rui kamishiro.

Yo so lately my friend has been yapping a lot to me about ruinene, I don't really get the ship like ik there next door neighbours and stuff but like can you tell me a whole lore drop behind it? Like idk how to explain but like drop the whole lore and stuff behind the ship, thanks if you do it

I'm really sorry anon but I don't really like doing stuff related to shipping unless it's to do with stuff that's actually canon. Mainly because I want this account to be enjoyable for everyone, my deal is posting facts and textual analysis, and because I'm not a massive shipper myself so I don't really feel equipped to answer things like this, especially since it could encourage more asks of a similar nature. Again really sorry but you're probably best off asking someone who mains the ship.

[rui-drawsbox]

I'll try to spice a little the next time i open comms! Which one do you prefer? A, B or both?

There won't be any difference in the prices btw, i just thought it would be a fun idea lol

[ssruis]

Also interesting how much we get to see rui’s thoughts in Phoenix… I feel like for a lot of focus events the inner thoughts we see are just restricted to the focus character (nene pov for cg/o, rui pov for pandemonium, etc) but for Phoenix they actually chose to not do tsukasa pov for a lot of scenes & instead show what rui is thinking… im sure I’ll have more thoughts on it when i rewatch more wxs events and can note which do this but i think it’s neat.

i think that even though he would believe her to be the prettiest person he ever did see, Rui would be afraid to give Shizuku compliments based on her looks because he can probably tell that's all most people see her for and he doesn't want to make her feel like that's all there is to her- because it's not!! i believe Rui would more so try to voice his admiration for how hard she works and her patience, kindness, all that

similarly, although she'd definitely be impressed by how skilled he is at technology, especially in comparison to her, i think Shizuku would also want to avoid only acknowledging Rui for probably one of the few things most people think good of him for- his intelligence. instead, she'd show her interest in the "weird" aspects to him, the things he used to get excluded for in the past, such as what he puts his talent towards and how passionate he gets about his interests

[aroace-poly-show]

hey guys. guys. guys. hw wonder halloween.

Rui would be the perfect company for when you have to pull an all-nighter trying to finish a project with a deadline. He's full of energy and doesn't get sleepy, so he'd easily stay up all night with you. He'd be there to keep refilling your mug as soon as he notices it's once again empty. He'd also remind you to drink lots of water (you can't live off of caffeine alone). If he sees you're starting to get discouraged, he'd not hesitate to give you words of encouragement, with some flirty jokes here and there "we'll definitely have to celebrate after you're done, we can go on a date as my treat 😉", causing you to chuckle. And suddenly you feel all the stress and worry that's been accumulating for the past hours slowly disappearing, now replaced with a boost of energy and confidence. His plan worked, and he feels so accomplished, staring at you with a fond smile on his face, wishing time would just stop, wishing he could spend every single night like this. And days. And seasons. He wants to spend every remaining second of his life with you. But for now, he settles for staying up all night with you, until the very end.

I feel like this is important for analysis but WxS's plays/in-story scripts have been getting gradually darker.

Like this isn't me reaching or anything they've factually have gotten darker and in some ways more ""realistic"" (keep in mind i'm not counting the play at the end of Happy End cos that's just a rewritten version of an old play).

I think the best way to really see this change is to kind of go through each arc and kinda view how the plays are. Now I'm doing this by memory so if I get a play wrong that's why.

1st arc.

So from Rui's first to Emu's first, we have the zombie play, the christmas play and the play to help revive Pheonix Wonderland's popularity.

Those are all pretty child friendly plays, that can be seen as lighthearted even if they do have their own emotional moments.

2nd arc.

This is where things start transitionning into a more serious tone in terms of the plays.

At first we have the play in Nene and Tsukasa's second event which both are kind of the same vibe as the 1st arc plays.

HOWEVER it's when we reached Rui's 3rd even that things take a turn in my opinion.

The story focusing on the tragic story of two androids having lived different lives, one being turn into a weapon for war.

Rui's 3rd event kind is overall a massive turn in WxS's story in general and it was kind of the point where extremely painful events started being handed like candy.

There is the Peter Pan play in Admist a Dream that kinda contradict this switch in tone but I don't really count it since it's story is not really the focus of the event and more so serves to push certain themes with Emu.

Then we have the famous Pheonix event...which like I think I don't need to explain.

3rd arc.

Now things get weird since, the Android and Pheonix play while both being a lot more dramatic and "darker" still had aspects of fantasy in them.

However the two "plays" (the second one is not a play but a film script but shhhhhhhh) are purely set in a realistic setting and obviously feel a lot more mature as a result.

This is also without pointing that both of the stories are extremely similar with a depressed male lead who is said or hinted to have suicidal thoughts until something brings them out of it.

So yeah, here's some food for analysis for what this means for WxS's story as whole
