Tsubasa Yamaguchi, you have done it yet again

#gosh this arc hurts so much #murai feels like he needs to move on but in the end yotasuke says he doesn't need to just when he sees a paintbrush that belonged to sanada #this hits so hard #like not even because it's similar to something I've experienced or anything #it's just #so touching #the art curator sucks btw I hope he dies #but still #both of the opinions shown have thought behind them #on one hand sanada's paintings are being appreciated just like she wanted when she was alive #but she's mostly gaining attention because she's dead #this is so sad to think about #people only care when what matters is gone #and this can be said for murai as well #but in his case it's grief because he couldn't do what he now wishes when sanada was alive #he even mentioned being married to her in the latest chapter #he loved her but only realized it when she was gone #blue period

Who knows. Maybe this Shadows Amidst Snowstorms plot rewrite will be like my final love letter to GI?

Or I might still stick around in the sidelines and ramble about 2.3 like I’ve been doing for the past year, haha. Ah, well, we’ll see

#Blue Period is so much. I don’t even know where to start :’D #I can always go by Arc. really the cram school arc alone gave us tons of info. then entrance exam arc #aaand then university arc onwards is just. feels like uncharted territory ‘cause the anime didn’t cover that part #even though I’ve read quite some chapters into university arc. I think I left off from Yotasuke’s rabbit drawing part?#dusk rambles #GI #BP

seeing is believing: a resolution to yakumo's grief

one: yakumo states he's cursed and expresses his desire of wanting to see sanada, even as a ghost.

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.

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.

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 #blue period spoilers #blue period chapter 65 spoilers #bp #i read momo's last line and i was like.... ok? what does that mean loooool #and then it all clicked when you saw yatora's piece name and all the themes of 'seeing' sanada from yakumo #it's such a bittersweet yet perfect way to end this arc - childlike wonder is real but we all have to grow up even if it hurts #but we don't have to forget that pain!!! we can keep it close and we will be free of it in death #cannot wait to see what the next arc for this manga will be!!! hoping to see yuka lol

[A piece I made for comfort, while incorporating Yotasuke's arc in the Blue Period manga (by Tsubasa Yamaguchi) into it.]

What if the same hutch that had trapped you starts to feel like a safe haven? Would you take the risk and break out of it, or would you stay in its comfort?

Yotasuke’s bond with rabbits is a great representation of the relationship he had with his environment. He found comfort in their presence as they distracted him from the constant demands of the people around him, while unknowingly projecting onto those rabbits how other people had treated him. He appeared to be taking care of them but really, he was treating them the way other people had treated him; he was controlling them.

He gained a sense of security in adhering to the expectations that were forced upon him, despite being reduced to only his skill. The labels that people bound him with were what protected him from criticisms and feelings of inadequacy, but they were also what hindered him from truly embracing himself and his passion: art.

“Doesn’t this rabbit really love you?”

That simple statement was enough to tell Yotasuke what he needed to hear—that he was seen. For the first time, he wasn’t the perfect genius everyone made him out to be. Beneath all his seemingly calculated brushstrokes and the astute choice of colors that dappled his canvas, he was only human.

It was then that he realized, maybe it was okay to put himself first. Maybe it was okay for him to leave the safety of the cage that constrained him.

“I’ve come to think that it’s probably fine for me to treasure what I felt.”

Can I just say how much I love love love it when a character or a group of characters are haunted by the absence of a person who was once integral to their lives. Especially when the entire narrative is structured around that particular loss like hands down my favorite television shows right now are Fleabag and The Bear which are both Masterful fucking examples of this (Fleabag’s dead best friend, though you could probably make a case for her mother too, and Carmy’s dead brother respectively).

And it’s like. The loss of these loved ones is so inextricable from the characters that survived them to the point where everything they do and say every choice they make whether good or bad is ultimately influenced by their grief. I’m catching up with the current Blue Period arc right now and really enjoying it, mostly bc of the complicated friendship dynamic between Momoyo, Murai, and Hachiro—and the lone piece missing from their friend group—Sanada. Murai’s experience with grief in particular is so fascinating to me because unlike Momoyo and Hachiro, he hasn’t been able to “move on” or cope with his grief in a healthy way. It’s sort of become this unsurmountable weight on his shoulder, this ghost-like presence that looms over his character constantly. When Yatora reflects on his loss in ch. 62, there’s an interesting emphasis placed on Murai’s expression—

—which made me realize just how emotional of a character Murai is through his facial expressions alone. Not necessarily in this chapter, because he’s very much putting on a brave face, but in chapter 64, you practically witness him going through every stage of grief at once. It’s honestly a massive transformation given that he’d been stuck in the “denial” stage for so long.

I think it’s interesting to think of Murai as both a character who is avoidant, repressive, in denial about his own feelings and the reality of the world around him (it’s mentioned also in ch. 64 that Murai didn’t even attend Sanada’s funeral, which is exactly the kind of immature behavior/inability to cope that you would expect from a character like him) WHILE simultaneously being someone who wears his heart on his sleeve. I reckon he forces himself to feel nothing at all out of fear that he’ll feel too much at once, and thus end up causing a scene like he did at Sanada’s posthumous exhibition.

Besides the cool back tat and funky earring, I wasn’t all that compelled by Murai’s character until I read through this chapter and experienced this entire emotional upheaval alongside him. I kind of just had to sit down for a bit after reading the last scene, after Yotasuke’s Murai-san, it’s okay to live your life holding onto that grief forever, isn’t it? comment which is such a bonkers thing to say (/pos) and God. Not to quote The Bear FX here but it really is satisfying to watch a character that you know needs to let it rip just let it rip. That laidback attitude and nonchalant expression of his were never truly the whole of it. I’m really satisfied with the way grief & loss has been framed through Murai, and I’m excited to see what his character becomes as he continues to both carry these feelings inside him and live to grow around them.

I want to preface this by saying I’ve never felt grief from a loved one before. This may have a hand in the way I interpreted this chapter and I’m happy to have a conversation about this

So this arc in blue period is about grief right. The centre of this arc is Sanada’s death and how it affected those around her, whether they were friends, family or even those who worked with her. Yatora and Yotasuke, like us, are outsiders to this case and we have to watch their thoughts alongside Momo’s, Hachiro’s and Yakumo’s feelings.

At this current point of the manga (chapter 64). We know the tragic fate of Sanada. Her death was heartbreaking and it shaped the characters like Yakumo to become the person he is in the present.We see that grief manifests in different ways. The two major examples is Sanada’s mother and Yakumo.

Yakumo holds on to every possession that reminds him over her. One of them being her brush. We see it battered and tape holding it together. I like to think that it represents his mental state. He’s constantly happy and covers the cracks with his jokes just like the tape on the handle, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that he is grieving the loss of a friend and who he considered a role model.

On the other hand, we have Sanada’s mother who initially did not want to have her daughter’s works to be sold changed her mind as Sanada’s popularity grew. She wanted people to see her works as she saw them which is fine. It is opposite to what Yakumo does despite them both suffering from the same person’s death.

Yakumo saying that Momo’s dad didn’t understand him was not out of malice but Yakumo was grieving in a way unlike what Sanada’s family were doing.

My favourite part is the bit where Yotasuke asks why Yakumo isn’t allow to continue grieving. Yes maybe some people have moved on from her passing. We see one of Sanada’s old classmates who do not share the same sentiment as some of the other characters.But allowing Yakumo the freedom to grieve on his terms is a truly beautiful scene. Grief is different for every individual and Yamaguchi doesn’t aim to put down anyone. She instead gives a more human approach as grief is a complex feeling that should be approached as such.

#blue period #blp chapter 64 #this was a long one #but I felt passionate about it #this also feels all over the place #my batter is less than 20 #battery*#I want to ask this as well #how do you interpret Momo’s and Hachiro’s grief #I’m sure we’ll get a hachiro arc next #but I wanna hear other opinions

Woah woah i was rereading a couple blp chapters and i just noticed that probably the reason why Murai is constantly looking at Yotasuke might be related to Sanada. Makes me think Murai maybe saw some resemble with Yotasuke's situation –during his arc– and Sanada.

And i think it's the fact that Sanada was also considered a "prodigy" and her death is hinted to be caused by the pressured of the world of art.

Look at Murai carefully listening to what Nekoyashiki is saying to Yotasuke and the emotional torture she was trying to inflict on Yotasuke.

Yotasuke and Sanada were recognized as "talented" people in the eyes of everyone since they were young.
