I've been constantly thinking about the usage of "childhood games" or "childlike questions"* in umbilical and teardrop and I know so many others have analyzed the fuck out of these things but I'm driven crazy
(*i physically don't know any other way to describe it other than childlike I'm sorry xhccfj)
(Peek-a-boo)
(and honestly driving me crazy [IN A GOOD WAY] that they translated it to Marco Polo because they did this on purpose MARCO POLO ISNT REFERENCED AT ALL IN THE ORIGINAL LYRICS)
Additionally, the fact she visualized the voices/audiences with the bunny while some of the other prisoners used different things (eyes, mostly) (Side tangent: Could you make an argument about what each prisoner represents the audience as in their t2 songs? I mean, for example, Haruka and the searchlight?)
Lastly, in both of her voice dramas, she talks about forgiveness as "made-up play" and makes it seems like a game(? She says like "that's the end of round one!" Or something to that effect) whenever describing some of her reasons for murder or being cold.
it's so oddly childlike, as if yuno's self-conscious can't help but make something childlike
Which then you could say it's because she grew up too fast or that what else is there to make up from?
Yuno is a character who prides herself on knowing who she is, that she is her own being who is complicit in a murder (I wont deny her that fact. She's technically a murderer by MILGRAM's standards and she did everything on her own accord), whose job is nothing but innocent-like, and yet both of her MVs and Voice Dramas display the exact opposite. They have moments where you can perceive her as innocent.
The very fact that she's a liar is such an integral part of her character that no matter what, one of her lies are going to be shown. You'll still see her, but what of her will you see? What identity does she have behind all of her lies?
She's Yuno Kashiki. What else?

my personal fav headcanons r non-binary lucas and transmasc max figuring their stuff out together because at the end of the day no matter what gender they’re rocking with they need each other
Sobbing this is so perfect and sweet. They help each other figure out what pronouns feel right and go on shopping dates together to find clothes they both feel comfortable in. Lucas is hesitant to correct people when they get misgendered but Max will correct people straight up and call people out on their bullshit when they say "its too hard to remember."
