Mitsuba But Fishified??​ Mitsufish?? Mitsubetta???

— the art club

because me and my petty self want to claim this headcanon :’)

mei and mitsuba haven’t been shown interacting aside a short time in picture perfect arc and it’s such a waste because their parallels are so absolutely interesting and i’m in love with the idea of sibling relationship shijimitsu

like

so

but

once, mitsuba tried to find a place to stay within the seven mysteries and kinda got rejected by most of them. however, the one he wasn’t shown interacting with was with shijima, and they get along together well enough, looking at their interactions in picture perfect...

not to mention these parallels;

they’re both 'fakes'. the second unoriginal versions of people who used to be alive, people who used to be there and talk to others and make an impact on the world.

their original selves were both artists. they drew what was important, immortalizing it in their photos and paintings and sketches and film. original mitsuba’s ghost took a picture of kou before getting turned into no. 3 by tsukasa. original mei drew her ideal self, in a tower, and created her second self. both these things were important to them.

their second selves were created because their original selves had a wish. to live on, and to have & stay with friends...

and slowly, their second selves started to grow indifferent to their original selves’ forms of expression. shijima seems to only draw for functionality instead of for her own enjoyment or curiosity or expression, but her art has so much more meaning now that they create more than just an impression of life—they make life. and mitsuba doesn’t even know anything anymore, amnesia go brrrr (ty @ocelotlesbian for pointing this out)

i have so much to say about how shijima’s art is being used more as a tool for convenience instead of how the original mei used it—even natsuhiko & tsukasa are trying to annoy her for stuff—and not to mention the things they could do with this ability if someone thought about it enough (she, tsuchigomori, yako & the clock keepers are so completely broken i can’t even—these are the mysteries, of course, but i’m so glad they’re passively watching everything unfold because if they took matters into their own hands it’d be absolute chaos look at the clock keepers arc)

and i henceforth i headcanon

these two siblings doing art together afterschool in an art room. do we normally see mitsuba in hanako’s bathroom after school? no... and he’s scared of tsukasa. absolutely traumatised. ignore the afterschool episodes, i want mitsuba to turn on his heel and walk straight to the art room, skipping the fourth step.

after he has his melancholy talks and tear-filled arguments with kou he goes over and whines to shijima and they watch a movie on a projector and eat ice cream from a minifridge.

bonus points if mei uses her sketchbook to draw tissues for them. they literally have infinite ice cream and tissues

after the aquarium trip, i don’t think he could return to kou’s house (teru) & he also loses more energy the further away he is from the school SO i’d like to say he walks over, finds shijima & just cries to her the entire time about how kou is being difficult

shijima (unbothered queen) hands him her sketchbook w a drawing of a tissue box inside and 'mhm's every few minutes

it’s such a nice dynamic i love them so much

WHAT IF THEY RELEARNED THEIR PAST SELVES’ HOBBIES TOGETHER

like mitsuba learning how to hold a camera w his hand

shijima teaches him how to sketch, they go on small trips around the school at night to look at items in the moonlight

mitsuba absolutely destroys any supernaturals in their way (i need shijima to force him to eat occasionally and he will have to listen)

no but shijima is perfectly able to handle them herself

cue shijima pulling a sword from her sketchbook and slicing supernaturals into pieces

but what if their past versions met in some sort of afterlife and mei teaches him to sketch & mitsuba shows mei his favorite photos and anglings and they watch birds & draw them and take photos and think about their lives and-

bonus: YAKO.

yako’s stairs are said to lead up to the art room 👀

so what if...

(i’ll finish this later lmao)

i need this to be canon. sibling mei & mitsuba. pls.

thank you for reading ♡ drink some water~

⚠︎ — update log

01/10/25 — put in extra stuff + fixed some inaccuracies

two days, eight hours left!! it's a 5% difference!! vote!!

so... the yugi twins.

i found out today that some people consider amane the moon & tsukasa the sun (me included-ish) but some say the opposite? can we settle this- opinions under the cut!

we all know amane’s irises are supposed to be the moon, but personally i feel tsukasa’s eyes look like a very smol lunar eclipse, so the sun seems like a really nice choice for him (note the yellow donut he makes in his eyes. my beloved evil baby)

and i genuinely do feel that their personalities do match, up to their deaths. tsukasa shines really brightly and had many friends, amane stayed secluded and draws from tsukasa for most things (eg the moon reflecting the sun’s light!)

also, tsukasa’s kokujoudai tend to have a habit of bursting into flame (wait actually tsukasa kind of also burst into flame)

they’re like little phoenixes. i love them so much

anyways i want yall to know that no matter what ur opinion matters so

keep sharing it!! tysm for being here~

and tysm for reading ♡

... holy shit to my score of 69

ignore that really, really long line of checkmarks yall...

is it trying to tell me something

y’all expose yourselves and take this fanfic test i was just forced to by an irl so now i’m making you too

every single time. every single freaking time i say 'i'll do it today!' 'i'll do it this weekend!' 'i'​ll-'

empty promises to myself, empty gazes at the one thing i need to do, neverending cycles of completing not even the smallest action. aren't i supposed to have grown out of this??? always getting distracted by small projects? irrelevant, irrational people-pleasing always coming first? the fics i have finished writing yet constantly edit? the art i rip into pieces?

at the very least i'll get a break soon. then i can afford the time to cry over mei & shijima & hanako-kun & nene all over again like i did four months ago on a lovely morning that did not last

WIP AOINENE COMIC???????!?!?!??!

im hyping myself up i really do not know how to panel LMAO

@musicalmoritz i offer this sacrifice to the aoinene queen

omfg someone else did this??? i love it. i love this so much.

my ramble about the parallels here !

adding on:

natalie & sakura forming the tired assistants club and sakura shares tea. she swears not to tell anyone about mayura, but tsukasa finds out somehow(???), steals it, turns mitsuba’s scarf into a sentimonster and there’s an entire episode of the heroes trying desperately to defeat someone that’s wayyyyyyy more experienced than them at fighting (it ends with sakura taking over as hawkmoth with the name 'actias luna' and tsukasa just handing over the peacock miraculous to the heroes. hawkmoth is sure very mad after that)

we have LEMON AND ALYA as part of the school’s media team or something. and sousuke actually joined them for photography at one point, but... yk

nino & lemon would totally vibe. in agreement.

imagine marinette falls in love with teru. he’s like a more polished version of adrien, child labor backstory and alllllll

it’s either marinette & nene team up to help each other with their crushes OR they realize that it could be a competition (albeit they’re very friendly about it.)

IMAGINE. and there’s also a possibility of a miraculous au with aoi as ladybug & teru as chat noir... + luka as akane would be so nice

hanako would hate adrien for being the source of nene’s new crush, so watch adrien slowly get convinced he’s haunted (he’s right)

AOI, KAGAMI, TERU. with 'let it go' as their theme song, specifically the 'don't let them in, don't let them see', they are the perfect children of their families, two of them swordfighters, all of them honed liars!!! i headcanon they all cover for each other, even aoi

alix, akane, luka, timekeepers!!! + i bet rose & juleka would absolutely love babysitting mirai even if she’s a handful

akane & luka being 'unrequited love' buddies until aoi gets it together :')

I FORGOT NATHANIEL, MARC & MITSUBA?! GAYS. ALL OF THEM. AND MARC ALSO DOES ART, WHICH MEANS MEI AND SHIJIMA CAN JOIN IN, WHICH FITS MY SHIJIMA & MITSUBA SIBLING HEADCANON-

tsukasa & amane VS felix & adrien for 'most fcked up twins'. the first wins by a landslide but like

tsukasa would annoy felix so hard. amane would bond w adrien just over this, even though they’re such an unlikely pair...

we gotta have hanako (& mitsuba, who wanted chaos) mess with lila when she comes and begins to bully nene & marinette because hanako is suuuper overprotective

ms. mendeleiv arguing with tsuchigomori on science vs magic.

mitsuba & chloe form an unexpected friendship??? they can be petty together

a crack spin-off where yako, mitsuba, and audrey bourgeois get locked in a room filled with clothes or something. chaos.

... oh. this might actually work.

*adds to wips*

I can’t sleep: tbhk miraculous crossover

Kou and Adrien could bond over dead moms and abusive dads

Marinette could help Nene make a plan to confess to Hanako

Aoi and Alya could bitch about there secretive ahh besties and how everything would have been better if they were honest sooner

TERU KAGAMI EPIC SWORD FIGHT

Lemon and Nino would vibe together prove me wrong you can’t

Gabe’s the only one who’s close to death so Hanako and Mitsuba just torment him for being a awful dad, Natalie thinks Gabe’s actually gone even more crazy somehow

Alix and Akane could bond over people just breaking their magic pocket watches and also being literal children that just have insane power over reality

Chloe babysitting Tsukasa. Just that. Just picture it… The utter chaos

CRIES SCREAMS CRIES SOBS SCREAMS CRIES

we did it. they are never gonna be together ever again /hj

also, poor shijima-

they’re so stupid wtf get out
