Listening to this at 8 am during work was a ✨mistake✨
I'm never going to recover from this
you're killing him arthur
"Stay with me, Arthur. Just a little longer."
I didn’t know Mx. Wellman could terrify me so much with Shanks’ voice, then make me completely flip on that character. Four seasons in and I’m constantly surprised.
‘life is loss.’
Why did I spend an hour on this? Idfk don't ask me personal questions

Me: Mizu’s gender in Blue Eye Samurai is complex and ambiguous even to him/her/them and that’s part of the richness of the story, not a reason for the fandom to get upset at one another or especially at the show creators for saying they envisioned Mizu as a woman struggling to survive in a society hostile towards her racial background and women in general. Mizu’s upbringing was, to put it lightly, supremely fucked up and I respect the show for leaving Mizu’s gender identity and sexual preferences fairly ambiguous because I think they’re ambiguous even to Mizu, who doesn’t exactly lead a life or display an internality in which this question is any kind of priority for Mizu to answer, even if Mizu had a cultural context that gave the tools the answer it, which Mizu does not. Mizu’s relationship with all aspects of their identity, including their race, gender, sexuality is an ongoing question and dialogue being actively explored in the show itself, without a strict conclusion offered, and a conclusion might never be offered, even in later seasons, as Mizu continues to grapple with identity. In this essay, I will…
Also me: Mizu’s gender is revenge.

- No. That child would see you and run.
Noooooo wait—so if John could see his distorted reflection through the mask, then urged Arthur to remain in disguise to “blend in,” KNOWING the other cultists could see him….my dumb PI headcanon is enabled further <3
No hate tho, obviously Arthur and John are The Best PIs, but they’re also so endearingly dumb <3
So John is visible through the pallid mask, which means all the cultists in the hotel could see him while arthur was trying to blend in? Thats awkward Also what exactly do you see if you look at arthur through the mask? I assume you dont just see the king in yellow standing next to him, so is john like a shadow or a haze around arthur? I checked and John actually saw his reflection at the hotel and reacted srangely (never told arthur though)
I dont think he saw himself as a separate entity because his reaction wasnt dramatic but idk
