murai yakumo: using guilt to grieve
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
i find it so interesting how inukai-sensei implied that yakumo treating survivor's guilt like a luxury and using his classic big canvases weren't a proper way in handling the theme of guilt.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
because in the later chapters we learn that yakumo himself has survivor's guilt over sanada's death. and while he claims sanada's death was "likely an accident" he probably feels like he had a hand in it since he didn't go shopping with her that night because he was annoyed at how effortlessly good she was at art so he wanted to paint instead. he's had to live with the guilt of surviving as well as the guilt of possibly being able to have prevented her death plus the guilt of resenting her for her artistic talent. that's why he always refers to sanada being "killed" as if he played a role in killing her.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
but then momo says that sanada wasn't killed. sure, there are multiple "what-ifs" that could be said like "what if that man didn't call out to sanada and shock her into falling in the sea?" or "what if yakumo did go shopping with sanada that night?" or "what if the ledge wasn't so icy and the water so cold?" or "what if sanada wasn't so curious?" - but it's all a guessing game because the reality of it is that in the end, sanada still ended up dead and they all have to live with that. i think momo is reflecting inukai-sensei's previous argument against yakumo that guilt isn't something fortunate. that's why she calls yakumo a "brat" about sanada's death because he's treating it like some luxury of being alive instead of properly coping.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
it's been three years since sanada's death but yakumo is still in the denial stage of grief. he's been in arguments with hacchan about how he moved on too fast after sanada's death and he hasn't even talked with momo about it at all. he's likely just scared that those feelings of guilt that he had when she died are slowly fading. yakumo knows that he's childish and he has been trying to grow-up and move on, but i like that he also uses his naiveté as a source of inspiration and drive to complete his art of japan piece. through his art, i think he can finally say his goodbye to sanada. and i'm curious if this piece will allow him to let go of notion that survivor's guilt is something luxurious.

no bc blp chapter 46-47 really just showed me the mental deterioration of this like 8 y.o girl who if i think about to hard i might relate to her a bit too much and then it also gave me the first fucking hint of a crack in haruka's personality and now its been almost two years with no fucking explanation on any of it. im going to be sick

seeing is believing: a resolution to yakumo's grief
Tumblr media
one: yakumo states he's cursed and expresses his desire of wanting to see sanada, even as a ghost.
Tumblr media
two: yatora's aoj piece is called "beyond the line of sight" and it is a triad painting of yakumo, hacchan, and momo's backs with an empty space left for sanada.
Tumblr media
three: momo ends the chapter with the idea that children are the only ones able to see god.
at first i thought these were all separate moments, but they actually are all connected and provide the perfect conclusion to this arc. we can now understand why momo called yakumo a "brat" several chapters ago; yakumo acts like a child over sanada's death because he thought of her like a god and wanted to keep seeing her. he's been "seeing" her as a figment of his imagination, but even that version of sanada has become warped and untrue to the real, previously living sanada. and because he's cursed - either by not being in god's favor or simply because he's growing up (aka moving on) - he's lost the ability to see sanada anymore. she is now, like yatora states in his piece, beyond the line of sight.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
by maturing and accepting the death of sanada and her human status, he can no longer see her. but like yotasuke told him last chapter, he can keep the grief he has over sanada with him forever. the next time yakumo and sanada see each other, it will be in death. it is only then that they can finally fulfill their past dream of having a joint exhibition of their art. and while their art is being displayed to be seen by others and can "leave a lasting impression on [their] hearts, for better or worse," they themselves will not be seen and therefore, are free from any worldly burdens :')

blue period problematic this, something something, i read it illegally but! the newest chapters?? god i’m in love w the yuka backstory and the death of a prince?? are you kidding me??
Tumblr media Tumblr media
that last panel of yuka w their lips smeared w lipstick is so good she’s so surprised and she can’t die yet!! she’s yet to embrace herself and actually live so she can’t die yet!! the transfem agenda is so!!!
and then yatora’s no-marks arc is so beautiful, he goes through like so stuck in the conforming pattern of having to be like everyone else! he’s “normal” there’s nothing unique about him (according to him)!! he’s a performance!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i don’t really like installation art tbh because i like seeing technical artistry a lot of the time? but i love how he took such a simple concept and emphasized it!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and then we get him analyzing himself, bc yatora’s the type to make snap judgements and classify things as normal and not normal, which is yk different from wrong and bad but v v similar (almost identical in society’s eyes) and bc he didn’t have a skewed outlook the first time he went to no-marks he approached them w no inherent biases! which allowed him to actually take in the experience!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
so yatora then looks back on his experiences in the world around him and then comes to a conclusion
Tumblr media Tumblr media
that being “sinful” or this feeling of guilt that people have is derived from what they expected of themselves and also what they perceive as moral and immoral in the lens of society!
honestly i loved this chapter bc it delves into yatora’s character growth and is an acknowledgement of how far he’s come from the person that he was in the beginning of the series! he’s willing to have an open mind abt things instead of immediately shunting them off as not normal and not worth the effort of existing abnormally in society
