Rui is like: am I extra or are you basic
chu2: you really are taller than average huh
rui: is that so? i thought you were just short
chu2: w-what the hell!
rui: it's nothing to worry about. it's part of your individuality
chu2: i-i'm not worried about it!
chu2: .....by the way, what are you going to eat?
Don't mess with her🔥🔥🔥
MORFONICA AS OFFICE QUOTES PART 2
flame of hope in a nutshell:
When Rui decided to join the band:
I've sunk so low in the sea of sadness
That even opening my eyes is not worth the effort
🎵Morfonica – Shinkai Shoujo
It's hard to post regularly... Well here I come with a new Morfonica analysis! I hope someone still remembers me :_)
Today I wanna talk about the birthday illustrations! This post will be divided in two parts because of the image limit. This post is about Mashiro, Touko and Rui.
Birthday illustrations are really interesting because they represent the girls' personalities and the things they like as gifts from their bandmates. So, let's see what we've got here!
💙MASHIRO💙
Mashiro is a sweet and cute girl who has a dream to become someone significant. I like that she is blue-themed, because blue is accociated with calmness, kindness, softness and all such (at least I think so...) Her illustrations always fill me with joy. She collects stuffed animals and knits, such a SOFTIE... Look how happy she is on the third pic with all those plushies! She is their mom now 🥺
Her gift is a seal plushie, I wonder who gave it to her (mashirui brainrot activated) Also the same seal on the cupcake holds a sewing needle, so maybe it represents Mashiro herself? She is a baby seal your honor
There's also some interesting things in the big picture :
1. Mashiro follows a butterfly, gently holding her stage costume hat. So wholesome.
2. Why are there fish? I suppose it's either a dream or a metaphor, maybe a Shinkai Shoujo reference. Shinkai Shoujo is a perfect song for Mashiro, by the way, it's so sad...
3. There's a stone with the school motto in the background! It appeared in the beginning of Morfonica's BS1. I don't remember the words perfectly, but it said something like "Your radiance will light up your path". Tsukinomori literally has a motivational quote on a chunk of stone in their garden. So fancy.
❤️TOUKO❤️
Here goes our dorky fashion icon! Her gifts are all food, and I think it's from Nanami. Touko gave Nanami a bottle of spicy sauce for her own birthday, so it would be a fair exchange. Touko is having a time of her life eating fried noodles, and I'm proud of her.
There's not much to say about the first picture, but I like how it represents her two biggest passions – making clothes and playing guitar. Also a cute little detail – she's wearing a butterfly necklace. It would be so cute if she started wearing more butterfly accessories after joining the band! And I like those birthday glasses from the third pic! You go girl!!
💚RUI💚
I've already talked about Rui's 2020 birthday illustrations in this post about Rui slander. It's interesting too, so read that and come back here!
So, we see our beautiful beloved Rui-Rui being a little happier than usual. She's wearing glasses because she is smart and classy and everything
I don't like her pose from the second pic because it's strange, but here's a little detail: she is watching magical white flowers grow around her! You know what it reminds me of? BS2. Yeah, it came out later than the birthday pictures, but still it looks like a parallel... I'm probably reading too much into this lmao
There really isn't much to analyse anymore, I just love looking at her and thinking about her making friends and doing what she really likes instead of trying to reach some weird non-existent "perfection" that her parents created. She is my little meow meow and I will protect her with my life. >:[ 💚💚💚💚
So, the 2nd chapter of the main Morfonica story trailer and a new MV teaser dropped, and I want to talk about it.
I will never shut up about how amazing the Morfonica MVs are. The graphics, the facial expressions, the colors, the lightning, the music... *chefs kiss*
As far as I know, Rui is going to quit the band in this story. Ow. That's bad. What confuses me is that there's no explanation WHY Rui wants to do so. It must be her parents, because she said once 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" for a reason. I can't say much about the trailer itself, because there's just some japanese text abd the new cards. The new cards are beautiful, of course. When I saw Rui SMILING like THAT i almost fell from my bed, screaming. That's what you need to know about me as a person...
So, about the MV. Finally, fucking finally they showed us Rui's weaknesses and emotions. At the beginning she's playing in the dark void, alone and forgotten. Looks heartbreaking. Just. Just look at her face.
Then we see Tsukushi standing in a colorful pretty forest, but she looks worried. And then, all the light fades out.
But despite being in the dark, stuck and lost, they keep on singing. Sparkling bright butterflies appear, flying forward. The girls watch them fly by, and they look really proud of what they're doing.
And then Mashiro sends these butterflies to Rui with this gesture and face expression.
She's like a force of hope, love and light in this dark and scary place. And she gives all this light to Rui, to make another butterfly, which can fly up to the sky, when Rui can play her violin again. And I just think that's incredible.
Go for the part two >>>>
I never get bored of looking at you 'Cause every time i see something new
YES LET'S HUG RUI
I will literally burst into tears if Rui will cry/smile wide/hug or be hugged/comforted
Just let Rui have emotions and let Rui be truly loved!!
Let Rui have something like THISSS:

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.
I feel like shit, have some mashirui as a treat
they are my kins and comfort characters at the same time i literally have one braincell which thinks about mashirui
