i will save "me"

out of frame

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. >:[ 💚💚💚💚

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?

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.

I was scrolling my phone gallery to get some inspiration and found this adorable screenshot from that wolf show (i can't remember how it's called... Wolfwalkers?)

And I immediately thought of mashirui because these girls resemble my perception of Mashiro and Rui's appearances! I like this picture so much because it's so cute and comforting 🥺 you know when... When you... When... When lesbian... When you lesbian...

I wrote a mashirui fic!

It's a soulmate AU where all people have a print of their soulmate's first touch. Rui and Mashiro go the same middle school. Rui has a palm print on her cheek, Mashiro has one on her own palm.

These designs of young Mashiro and Rui are mine.

You know w-when... When... Y-you know... wwhenn... You k-know when mashirui... wh-hen t,, he, y,,,,... When,,,, mashirui
