I’m drawn to abstractions & absurdities • twt: https://x.com/tongyuling3 • i: @Soe_chimi, b: @svioress
my umamusume hysteria is gone but here's this opekun i drew yesterday
here are my daughtersons: xue tian (XT) & bao gengmi (BGM). basically: they're toxic doomed childhood friends(?) to ??? forever haunted yuri
if i posted my ocs on here (this is technically my main and not an umamusume side) would you all run and never return
another point to make. earlier that day she told ayb to “face your troubles… as I face my reflection” (self-confrontation). her soliloquy, however, externalizes trouble into fate and dramaturgy. i think that contradiction implies that she needs performance to look in the mirror at all.
yuling@tongyuling.bsky.social · last yr.if ope loses the satsuki sho, she addresses the stars as “witnesses” of her failure. a soliloquy involves a speaker who is usually alone and typically reveals hidden emotions/motivations/internal struggles. even alone, she requires an audience, real or imagined, to make her existence feel meaningful
something i learned from class: A soliloquy is a speech that one character gives when no other character is present on the stage. you can interpret it in many different ways.

ope’s method of teaching the others to get into character for their play is by telling them not just to “act” their parts, but to immerse themselves in the characters (to speak, think, and practice as though they are those roles). hm, someone is projecting their own method here…
oh santa king. the sun king is lonely, and you, santa king, must shoulder his burden. but santa king, you’ll be the happiest to carry it, won’t you?
when ope plays the Sun King but subtly admit how lonely her crown is, I think topro thought: “so even Opera O-chan feels that way…”
for me to enjoy opdt, i need them to both suffer. ope is too much for doto; doto is not enough for ope. ope thinks she’s giving doto a crown; doto feels like she’s been handed a guillotine. they adore each other as rivals but the way they express it makes them both miserable.
opekun's debut had only a single reporter attend. this memory threatens to unravel her entire constructed identity: if she was ignored then, what if her current success is indeed just merely a dream? somewhere deep down, she knows her identity as the Overlord requires constant reinforcement.
kagerou daze but it’s doto and her clumsy ass constantly accidentally killing opera o
ep 6 of opera o's character story makes her loneliness textually explicit: opera o declares “only one person could ever stand as my equal—me,” then adds, “I will have to bear my solitude,” and the trainer immediately thinks: “Hm… I wonder if she feels lonely”.
i didn’t expect so many people on twtter to be unsettled by my drawing of ope being stabbed in the back by doto. After all, it’s something ope herself references directly in her dialogue—albeit metaphorically—so it doesn’t feel that extreme to me…?
