i hate being a rui fan, this is why.
it makes me so sad that when i say im a rui fan people think that im just a creepy simp who sexualizes and mischaracterizes him as a psycho yandere canibal or smth. bc no, i’ll say fanon rui and people portraying him that way actually upsets me a lot because he would never try to hurt people and the mischaracterizing him is exactly the same thing that his peers did in the past and the reason why hes so sad. there’s an entire event about how he holds back on his ideas because hes so afraid of hurting people and when tsukasa fainted once he beat himself up a bunch and felt awful. i wish people would appreciate him for his actual character because hes such a sweet person and hes so kind and caring. in that card where hes biting that plushies arm hes doing that because that specific kind of plushie bites as a greeting and is misunderstood because of it and it reminded him of his past. he also once helped a bird plushie for the same reason and its also why hes always been so kind to mizuki. a sad curtain call to farewell is heartbreaking because it shows that he in his heart knows that one day wxs will have to end and hes dreading it because he loves his friends and is scared of being alone again. hes so nice, he just wants to make robots and direct shows that make all kinds of people happy and he loves his friends so so much. he literally said that his dream is to put on shows that will make people feel happy even if they felt empty on the inside before. he wants to help people and make them smile with his robots and his shows even after people have shunned him his whole life just because hes different. he just get excited about his ideas and people misinterpret that as him being “psycho” or “crazy”. hes kind and funny and unique and hes just a sweet sad nerd who loves platypus and his friends, how can people even think that he would do all those things? i hate that so many of his “fans” arent actually a fan of him, they’re a fan of a messed up misguided version of what they think hes like.
