ABOUT ME
- Currently still catching up with main stories and novels, I don't speak Japanese so I rely on fan's interpretation and TL a lot, so I feel kinda afraid to talk about lore openly
- I really like the Shiramitsus and I'm open with any relationship depiction of them (siblings, duo, romantic partners etc), if that bothers you, please just block me. I can understand and acknowledge that some people may feel uncomfy with their dynamic/writing trope, and that's okay!
- I do have NOTPs, but I rather keep it a secret bc I don't make a fuss about it. Unless you are genuinely annoying, I don't mind being friends with people that ships them, so feel free to talk about it!
I first found out about it because people were sharing the Falling Into Eternity MV on TikTok. At first I didn’t think much of it UNTIL I heard the solo? guitar part ; oh my god, it genuinely mesmerized me. I felt hypnotized,,, it sounded so romantic.
Then I saw the pairing in the MV and thought, “Ohh, are these two characters in the same unit? That’s why they match so well?” So I searched up the lyrics on YouTube and found out through the comments that Ryui and Toi are actually siblings HELP. Somehow it genuinely didn’t click for me because of the different hair colors and because I wasn’t paying close attention to their eye colors...
But honestly, that’s how I ended up falling in love with the Shiramitsu twins !!
I didn’t immediately dive into the game/fandom though, because learning the game was region-locked made me hesitant to play. I don’t understand Japanese at all, so I worried it’d be difficult to properly understand everything. It also ended up becoming my first joseimuke franchise, which made me even more nervous since I felt like I wouldn’t know where to start and would constantly feel left behind.
So for the next few months, I mostly just liked Shiramitsu twins fanart from afar and observed fandom activities. Eventually, I found a lot of helpful resources like translation masterlists and guides, and that finally gave me the motivation to download the game and properly get into it.
And wahhh here I am now!! I already finished all the main story content, and the twins are still my absolute favorites; I playfully call them my sons ~
Currently still catching up with stories because I want to understand every characters, but I don't feel confident I'd be able to read them all so I’d genuinely be really happy if anyone wanted to help explain lore, culture references, gacha stuff, or anything else >_<
