Thinking About This Too Now Because Milgram Fucked Me Up With Pomegranate Imagery šŸ”„šŸ”„

Thinking about this too now because Milgram Fucked Me Up with pomegranate imagery šŸ”„šŸ”„

Typically, they're used to symbolize fertility, death and immortality, while in Japan those last two get swapped out for abundance and the cycle of life. In jewelry, though, like I'd say he's wearing, they're usually used to express new beginnings, such as when somebody is getting married or expecting a child.

In Japan, pomegranates have a special cultural significance due to being connected to Hariti, the goddess of fertility and healthy childbirth, though she is also recognized as a female demon of misery and unhappiness towards children and parents in many folk traditions. Her story is about, essentially, learning to empathize with the suffering of others.

Now, how does this correlate to Rui? Lowkey, zero clue. Hariti's story of learning to empathize with the suffering of others calls to mind Rui's bloomfes card where he states that because he's suffered, he can be kind to people, though that's all I can really say.

Even though it wasn't in your initial post, he's wearing a ring on each hand, which I also want to talk about. On his right hand, he is wearing a ring on his pointer finger, which is typically used to symbolize leadership, authority and self-confidence, though it is also used as a symbol of accepting leadership from other people due to it being a passive hand. On his left, he has a ring on his middle finger, which is more commonly associated with balance, though is also used to symbolize power, responsibility and stability.

Also. The flowers. Because I fucking LOVE flower imagery!!!!!!!!!!

I reckon that the flower on his chest is a chrysanthemum, which are suitable funeral flowers in Asian countries, specifically when white. I believe that it's also notable that these are the same flowers that were used in LUTF, specifically due to their correlation with being funeral flowers. The flower he has, however, is red and thus largely symbolizes love and passion, strength of power, determination and courage. In Japan, chrysanthemums are considered auspicious and a symbol of success, too. As a whole, they still retain a connection to the idea of a long life, rebirth, and heavy grief in Asian countries.

The flower on his hat could be a rose considering its shape, which is also famously a flower of romance. A white and red rose is used to symbolize enduring love that is both passionate and pure, the bonding or unity between two people, and can convey a message of unity or reconciliation. And again, white roses are often used as a funeral flower due to symbolizing eternal love and new beginnings.

with that, I bid farewell. do what you will with my yapping Goodbyebye

nobody is talking about the pomegranates on rui’s 2* costume what is up guys.

honami gets apples and nene gets grapefruits bc they’re their respective fav fruits (well honami’s apple pie technically)

meiko grapes i cannot place to save my life. related to wine probably

ichika blueberries… makes sense she’s blue

RUI… POMEGRANATES… ig he already got grapes for island panic šŸ§ā€ā™€ļø but still i can only think of the greek myth of persephone where she eats a pomegranate in the underworld and is forced to stay with hades… like wtf why pomegranates what’s up sega

i am DEFFO looking too much into it but like… why pomegranates???? the outfit’s swatch doesn’t even look that good on him 😭

The moment that everyone has been waiting for, I present; why I think Rui is autistic, or at the very least, neurodivergent, the sequel!!! This is the second part to this post that I made a few months ago, so feel free to check it out if you want. - 1. For starters, I would like to talk more about Revival My Dream, as it provided a lot to work with. When Rui asks his mom if he really is different from the other children because that was what his peers and teachers had been calling him due to his intelligence, she agrees and says that he is different from the other kids without specifically using the word "smarter", which suggests that his eccentricities and isolation did not come from his high intelligence alone.

Upon reassuring him that it's alright to be different and sympathizing with his situation, her advice to him was to simply cherish the things that he likes and he would soon find people who support and accept him for him, rather than about his intellectual prowess being in use.

Following this, an interview that he watches, which ends up significantly impacting his mindset concerning shows, uses the term "minorities" among other examples of audiences to express that people can share the feelings that shows invoke no matter how different they are. This wording can imply that he is also a sort of minority, too.

(tl by Arvon Oven on YouTube) - 2. He's blunt / straightforward and struggles to empathize with people. His bluntness is more noticeable during the rare occasions that he's upset at somebody else, with the Main Story and Smile Of a Dreamer being examples of this.

(first screenshot taken from the global version of Project SEKAI; tl by Caramel Subs on YouTube)

There's also a segment during A Once-In-A-Lifetime Pandemonium!? where Taniyama expresses his envy at Rui getting such good scores on tests, which he responds to by saying that it is indeed nice because it means that he can focus more on shows. Taniyama then exclaims that he should at least be more humble.

(tl by tsukasa's #3 fan on YouTube; video is unlisted)

The second point is quite downplayed. Once again returning to Revival My Dream, when he proposes that he and his classmates make a show together that includes one of them jumping out of a second story window to a nearby tree, he's unable to understand why they're so afraid, and even jumps out of the window himself without any safety precautions in place aside from a safety mat to prove that it was safe.

i was thinking about Mafuyu's diluted sense of taste and imagine her having the tendency to over-season her food whenever cooking or having a penchant for things that are particularly sour due to the tart taste and sensation briefly resembling taste Kanade walks into the kitchen at 3 in the morning for a glass of water and sees Mafuyu casually eating an entire lemon like it's an apple

does anyone else ever think about the fact that maybe the reason behind Tsukasa's Sekai being the first to have all six Virtual Singers in it is because of how lonely he was as a child so they manifested faster than the other Sekai's VS's because he subconsciously feared being alone

I'm gonna hit this guy over the head with a really big hammer

anyone else think about rui’s ny 2020 lines a lot

new year's eve: This year has brought me a lot of joy and simultaneously been emotional for me. I have a feeling that next year will be just as fun.

new year's day: What I want to do will never change. I want to make people smile with my shows. That’s my desire.

"Oh, my favorite Project Sekai character is the one who has purple hair and can speak English! You know, the one who was once considered a child prodigy? The one whose problems were inadvertently caused by their intelligence because nobody around them could properly understand them? The one who once was desperately searching for a purpose in life because they felt as if they had no idea what they truly wanted to do? Actually, they *did* know what they truly wanted to do, they just had no way of supporting it because of external factors. But you know, the one who gave up on hoping that their life would take a turn for the better? The one who was only able to identify their real beliefs due to the help of their respective group members? The one who struggles with understanding their feelings and emotions?" ??? WHICH ONE !!!!!!!
