I actually wanna write something up about Ave Mujica's designs at some point... it's on the list... (I am not clothing savvy at all so like with everything with this band I will feel like I don't know what I'm talking about 😭 May my research be sufficient)

#askbox I have thought about this! My own interpretation is the gold is supposed to compliment her eyes, actually (though maybe you could wonder if Hatsune really is in her eyes haha). The "black" part of it looks like it has a greenish tint too, compared to Oblivionis' whose is indisputably black

I feel crazy over the fact that Ricochi has a history in stage acting, while Uika doesn't and we see her rehearsing lines before going on stage Ricochi has a gift for letting her roles absorb her, but she *has* honed her skills in moving her body to portray characters. Uika's case is 100% possession

Nothing could have prepared me for how Doloobu centric that Kao was.

Mask... she has the mask..... 😇💥

I have a new favorite image that's always relevant

Ricochi riding a horse what can go wrong

Reflecting a bit on this past year... I'll start by saying my only goal for the year was to keep up with Ave Mujica, and I'm happy to say that I did! I really do love this band more and more with each passing day, and it's honestly an honor to me that my work can help more people love them too.

NEW NONRICO VID?! Ricochi saying "Ah, you're a bird... you've finally flown like a bird!" while Non is screaming while bungee jumping is sending me 😭😭😭😭😭

Nontan's birthday wishes for Akanen 🥹💙💜

I'll probably never hear Ricochi's thoughts on recording the Mujina Carnival songs and I'm sooo brave about it (crying)

Does Ricochi know how good her recording of Futatsu no Tsuki is

Thinking about them.

Ave Mujica really is so special to me... it feels easy to say "everything around me makes me think about this band now" but I mean it. I feel like I've been able to better appreciate aspects of life that I either wasn't interested in learning about or took for granted before. It's a nice feeling.

Been reading through Justine to better appreciate Sophie's messages and it's not rocket science why Hatsune resonated with this one huh

Another day of loving Uisaki

Ricochi's so rent free in her head I'm crying. This is the 4th time in recent memory she's brought her up unprompted

Nontan talks about what other colors she'd dye her hair...

Was revisiting some radio clips and I somehow totally missed Non earlier this year saying "[Uika's handsome so] she probably attracts girls" so true... Uika is lesbian culture...............................................

Going from shipping Kaochisa to my Uisaki fixation is one of the most fork found in kitchen situations ever bro (Kaochisa event readers know)

#askbox Outside of Avemygo, Kaochisa and (platonic) Taekasu are very precious to me

What the hell sure

Ricochi's expressions as Doloris are so amazing ugh. She is such an actress!

Funny, isn't it? #AveMujica

Funny, isn't it? #AveMujica

Oh I absolutely do. There's so many parallels between them, it's impossible to unpack them all. Like how they both struggle with feeling like a replacement in Sakiko's eyes, and how their desires to continue Ave Mujica get framed as being selfish, even though they're just trying to continue "living"

Words can't describe how much I love Hatsune

Apparently Ricochi's new song is a sick metal song with her playing a 7 string AND they actually recorded this concert so people who didn't go can watch it... we're so back

Thinking about that Uika voiceline from Arknights where she so gently and softly says Saki-chan loves Ave Mujica so much so she wants to do her best too.... uweeeeeweeeeweewehhhhhhh

I love this so much... they really do look like the writing team here uwawawaaaawawa

Uuuuuuuuuuuugh it's so cute to me how much Uika loves to show Sakiko the things she loves... she gushes to her so much........................... and Sakiko loves to listen to it every time... kindhearted Doloris... 😭🌸

Here's the translated dialogue for the new Uika&Sakiko and Sakiko&Mutsumi illustrations!

This woman can't go a single public appearance without slipping this stuff in can she

#askbox I'm uh normal™️ about the Tales series. I've played every game and have been active in its fan translation scene for about a decade now 👍 I also really love Higurashi 🫶 And Revolutionary Girl Utena!

Trying to see if all the new Bili voice lines have been archived anywhere for translation purposes and not having a ton of luck (missing Umiri and Nyamu's stuff)... I'll keep poking around but apologies that I haven't translated them yet 🙏

Yeah!

God... Hatsune............

And the whole deal about the "Sun moving towards Capricorn" not doing what it's supposed to (free the soul and make it reach the divine - which is basically following the law to "ascend") because in this story the law only protects evildoers, and Justine's virtuous behaviour was always punished.

I have stuff to do so I can't sit here and read all of Justine and also translate the new Bili voice lines and read more of Diggy's interview... but friends........ I will be back later to do just that......................

Thread of rambles from the new Aver interview. Starting off by screaming because Ricochi said her image of Doloris is a ruler/king (王者). Black Birthday uses the word "ruler" at the start so is it synonymous with that... "Meanwhile Uika dons the mask known as Doloris while bearing misery" exactlyyy

Uisaki is like if the Jesus x Judas yaoi was real and also they were both girls

Considering [gestures at all the themes used in Ave Mujica songs] I bet Christmas goes crazy in the Misumi apartment

The other poses in this clip are so chuuni and Doloris but this one specifically is so close to Hatsune...

Man..................................................................... Uisaki

I genuinely don't know how to put this but basically I love any moment that makes me scream in my head "oh yeah, these are the girls who write Ave Mujica together" They just speak their own language!!!!!!!

This moment really is so precious to me. The face Sakiko makes at Uika while Uika's looking away. The conversation of "Why did you bring me to this rooftop?" "Because it's close to the sky" being *so* specific to their relationship. The Tanabata references sprinkled throughout...

#askbox I'm very all or nothing when it comes to theorizing, and given I know almost nothing about Yumemita, I don't really have any thoughts on it haha. It'd be an interesting twist if it happened, though they've been pretty clear that Avemygo is a narrative contained to two bands.

I've decided I really wanna archive all of the official Ave Mujica art so I've been working on that lately. It's honestly so overwhelming but I'm doing my best... why did I not think to do this beforehand 😭
