YES THEY ARE VERY MUCH GAY AND CUTE!! GO MASHIRUI
MASHIRUI MASHIRUI AHAHA
THEY ARE GAY.
MORFONICA AS OFFICE QUOTES PART 2
flame of hope in a nutshell:
When Rui decided to join the band:
I never get bored of looking at you 'Cause every time i see something new
You know w-when... When... Y-you know... wwhenn... You k-know when mashirui... wh-hen t,, he, y,,,,... When,,,, mashirui
Ahhh the Rui defense my beloved
First of all, yes, stop saying Rui is a bitch. Just don't. I think paixarina already made it clear.
In fact, I'm not 100% sure that Rui's main role in the band is to be a critic. Well, it's true, but i just don't see Rui as an 100% "adult, serios, professional and know-it-all" person. She's not a fucking grown-ass businesswoman, she is a 15-16 year old girl who works too hard. It's important to remember that not only Rui helps the band, but the band helps Rui as well. The Morfonica girls talk with Rui kindly and friendly (well, not from the very start, but still), they praise Rui's violin playing, when Rui herself hates it. She thought she had no talent and no future, she was forced to give up her hobby and a friend (the Rinko theory, which I believe in). But then these 4 girls come and show her the other way, the other world where she can be loved and accepted. Isn't it beautiful?
To prove my point, I have some thoughts about Rui's official illustrations, so let's see:
This is the birthday illustration. The interesting things are a butterfly and a road sign. Rui is following tge butterfly, holding a violin in her hand. I think the meaning of this picture is obvious: when Rui found herself at a crossroads, she chose Morfonica. This is the new era of her life, and I'm so happy for her.
Then, another birthday picture. Well, there's not much to talk about, it's just... Rui's facial expression. Why does she look so surprised? Shocked, you can say. I don't know, it just makes me sad. Is Rui so surprised that her birthday was celebrated? Is it new to her that she has friends who give her presents? I remember Rui with this face only twice, and the second time was when Tsukushi told her that she wants to change too. Think about it.
Now let's talk about her smile. It's a treasure to me - so rare, so precious. Fun fact: Rui only smiles when Morfonica girls are around.
In conclusion: Rui slander is stupid, Morfonica are my babies and I will always protect them.
I'm back with Bandori salt and this time, I'm going to defend Rui because I'm tired to Rui slander and how the fandom always demonized her as a ruthless bitch while she is far from that.
People forget that Rui is the reason why Morfonica got character development. Without Rui, Morfonica would unable to recognized their own flaws, unable to improve themselves and fall into argument that could potentially break the band's relationship.
Rui is there to criticized the band's flaws. She is not a bitch. Stop saying her like that. She is there to recognized Morfonica's flaws and tried to improved the band. Watch "An Étude for Fluttering". It proves that RUI DID NOTHING WRONG. SHE IS A CRITIC OF HER OWN BAND. SHE IS NOT A BITCH. SHE IS JUST WANT TO ENCOURAGED THE BAND TO IMPROVED BY CRITICIZING THEM IN CONSTRUCTIVE WAY. Her argument with Touko is an example for that. She criticized Touko's guitar skill and her stubborness to accept her flaws. Criticized person's flaw is NOT being a bitch. It recognized someone's flaws, analyze it and what we are gonna do to fix this flaws.
People are so quick to judge Rui because she is a least emotive person. However, what I hate the most is that people forget that even Rui is least emotive, she actually has a good heart. Her criticism affect Morfonica's development and Morfonica shines because of her. It also parallels what happened to Morfonica when they got a first debut : face criticism during their first debut from the fans.
Rui is not a condescending bitch. She is a stiff person with a heart of gold. Without her, Morfonica would fade in obscurity. The main point of Morfonica arc is to change. If you want to change, recognized your flaws, use that flaws to improved yourself, be open to advice and improved your own skill and Rui is an embodiment of that.
Oh yeah, that's bullshit. You know, i have never thought about Rui as a BoRiNg character or smth. Hell no, she is one of the most interesting and realistic bandori characters. I hate when people don't think about causes of someone's behaviour and judge them just by first impression.
I think that Rui's parents made her like that.
In Morfonica band story Rui once told Mashiro that "Instead of wasting time on things where you will not be successful, it is better to use time on things that you are confident in. These are the words of my parents, but I think so too". (Sorry if this translation isn't perfect, because it's translated from Japanese to English to Russian then back to English). Does it ring any bells? I guess it does.
She is not aggressive at all, she seems... Sad somehow. Idk, maybe this is just my vision, but Rui works too hard all the time to reach some abstract "perfection". Did anyone think about why does she want it so much that it's the main goal of her life? She didn't have friends before Morfonica, I'm sure about that.
There's a theory that Rinko was Rui's childhood rival, but... Rinko is such a sweet child??? If she really was Rui's rival, then I'm sure it was not her or Rui's intention, but Rui's parents'. Unfortunately, i can't read ALL Rui's dialogues, because they're all Japanese and I'm fucking Russian. But at least I've read all Morfonica events, so I know what I'm talking about.
Bandori stans hates Rui for being "bland", "stiff" and "boring" because she is a very realistic person. Yet when they got characters like Kasumi, Kokoro and Hina who are hyper af, they called them "annoying".
You hate mature, realistic idealism character for being boring and bland yet calls hyper, happy-go-lucky positive girl annoying? Pick your side, fandom. Stop being oxymorons.
It's part 2 of my Morfonica MV's teaser review! If you haven't seen the first one, here it is!
So, back to the talk. I just love this moment where after this Mashiro shot we see Rui, so geniuinely surprised. She looks so innocent. She's nothing like that stiff cold strict image she presented to us at first, can you see it now? She is just a child. And I love that child.
The butterflies, which in my opinion represent the girls' efforts, hopes and dreams, form a new violin for Rui. It looks the same, but feels diffirent. Fun fact: butterfly is the symbol for rebirth.
But there's not only the violin. A new butterfly was born from the others. A small and fragile, but bright spark, which can lead Rui to a happier tomorrow, to a better place.
I can't wait to see the full version of this amazing MV and play this event! I hope you like my textposts, because I wanna make more! I have the idea of a post about their birthday illustrations in mind ;)
Update: The full MV came out today, so here is the 3rd part!
So, i have ask for Rui in the russian social network and i decided to translate some of them to English and post them here! Hope you like my vision of Rui's character, because i love and understand her so much...
I wrote a mashirui fic!
Well, it's not new, but I drew a new cover art for it, so I decided to post about it! It is least popular fic on my AO3, so maybe you'll give it a look!
It's a soulmate AU, where soulmates can meet each other in their dreams. After they meet in real life, this ability disappears.
