Mizu, femininity, and fallen sparrows

In my last post about Mizu and Akemi, I feel like I came across as overly critical of Mizu given that Mizu is a woman who - in her own words - has to live as a man in order to go down the path of revenge.

If she is ever discovered to be female by the wrong person, she will not only be unable to complete her quest, but there's a good chance that she'll be arrested or killed.

So it makes complete sense for Mizu to distance herself as much as possible from any behavior that she feels like would make someone question her sex.

I felt so indignant toward Mizu on my first couple watchthroughs for this moment. Why couldn't Mizu bribe the woman and her child's way into the city too? If Mizu is presenting as a man, couldn't she claim to be the woman's escort?

However, this moment makes things pretty clear. Mizu knows all too well the plight of women in her society. She knows it so well that she cannot risk ever finding herself back in their position again. She helps in what little way she can - without drawing attention to herself.

Mizu is not a hero and she is not one to make of herself a martyr - she will not set herself on fire to keep others warm. There's room to argue that Mizu shouldn't prioritize her quest over people's lives, but given the collateral damage Mizu can live with in almost every episode of season 1, Mizu is simply not operating under that kind of morality at this point. ("You don't know what I've done to reach you," Mizu tells Fowler.)

And while I still feel like Mizu has an obvious and established blind spot when it comes to Akemi because of their differences in station, such that Mizu's judgment of Akemi and actions in episode 5 are the result of prejudice rather than the result of Mizu's caution, I also want to establish that Mizu is just as caged as Akemi is, despite her technically having more freedom while living as a man.

Mizu can hide her mixed race identity some of the time, and she can hide her sex almost all of the time, but being able to operate outside of her society's strict rules for women does not mean she cannot see their plight.

It does not mean she doesn't hurt for them.

Back to Mizu and collateral damage, remember that sparrow?

While Mizu is breaking into Boss Hamata's manse, she gets startled by a bird and kills it on reflex. She then cradles it in her hands - much more tenderly than we've seen Mizu treat almost anything up to this point in the season:

She then puts it in its nest, with its unhatched eggs. Almost like she's trying to make the death look natural. Or like an accident.

You see where I'm going with this.

When Mizu kills Kinuyo, Mizu lingers in the moment, holding the body tenderly:

And btw a lot of stuff about this show hit me hard, but this remains the biggest gut punch of them all for me, Mizu holding that poor girl's body close, GOD

When Mizu arranges the "scene of the crime," Kinuyo's body is delicate, birdlike. And Mizu is so shaken afterward that she gets sloppy. She's horrified at this kill to the point that she can't bring herself to take another innocent life - the boy who rats her out.

MIZU'S ONE MOMENT OF SOFTNESS AND MERCY, COMING ON THE HEELS OF HER NEEDING TO KILL A GIRL TO SPARE HER THE WORST FATE THAT THIS RIGID SOCIETY HAS TO OFFER WOMEN, AND TO SPARE A BROTHEL FULL OF INNOCENT WOMEN WHO ARE THE CASTOFFS OF SOCIETY, NEARLY RESULTS IN ALL OF THEIR DEATHS

No wonder Mizu is as stoic and cold as she is.

And no wonder Mizu has no patience for Akemi whatsoever right before the terrible reveal and the fight breaks out:

Speaking of Akemi - guess who else is compared to a bird!

The plumage is more colorful, a bit flashier. But a bird is a bird.

And, uh

Yeah.

I like to think that Mizu killing the sparrow is not only foreshadowing for what she must do to Kinuyo, but is also a representation of the choice she makes on Akemi's behalf. She decides to cage the bird because she believes the bird is "better off." Better off caged than... dead.

But because Mizu doesn't know Akemi or her situation, she of course doesn't realize that the bird is fated to die if it is caged and sent back home.

Mizu is clearly not happy, or pleased, or satisfied by allowing Akemi to be dragged back to her father:

But softness and mercy haven't gotten Mizu anywhere good, recently.

There is so much tragedy layered into Mizu's character, and it includes the things she has to witness and the choices she makes - or believes she has to make - involving women, when she herself can skirt around a lot of what her society throws at women. Although, I do believe that it comes at the cost of a part of Mizu's soul.

After all, I'm gonna be haunted for the rest of this show by Mizu's very first prayer in episode 1:

"LET" her die. Because as Ringo points out, she doesn't "know how" to die.

Kind of like another bird in this show:

they're both dorks and i love them.

Christmas 🎄

Finally, it's done!🤗

thats just perfect

holy shit i just started following you and u have the BEST cole headcanons! do you have any glacier? ;))

ABSJSNW THANK YOU I LOVE YOU?? I will take glacier to the grave with me friendo so yes I do, I offer you these for your kindness ❤

Cole: Zane I hurt my bicep I need you to come kiss it better ;))Zane: oh no of course D: *kisses cole straight on the lips* is that better :((Cole, who is now the colour of Kai’s gi: yEAH UH HUH SURE THING

One time they take arm wrestling too far and Cole snaps Zane’s arm off by accident and cries for three (3) days.

Zane: cole make me a sandwich statCole: sure *comes back with a single slice of cheese on top of one slice of bread*Zane, putting Cole’s head between two slices of bread: WHAT ARE YOUCole: an idiot sandwich

Cole will try to one up him with knowledge and Zane is like bby, why are you trying

Cole: babe I can do maths SO much faster than you Zane: fine what’s 56 x 34Cole: 72 Zane: that’s not even closeCole: yeah but it was quick

Cole loves to eat and Zane loves to cook and honestly if Cole hadn’t come up with some serious restraint he would be like 30 stone with coronary heart disease and diabetes

Cole: you have the prettiest blue eyes Zane: thank you do you want to see them closer *pulls eye off* Cole: nO PUT IT BACK ON

Zane downloads Cole’s favourite musicals so he can learn everything about them and sing when with him and laugh when he makes jokes about them

He also learns how to dance so he can do all sorts of dancing with him because it makes cole smile the size of the sun and that makes Zane very happy

Someone: your boyfriend is… A robotCole: um yeah and that means he’s perfect which is more than I can say for your crusty ass get outta here before I bitch slap you into next week??

Cole is just talking to himself one time and is like “man I wish I could get a dog” and 3 hours later Zane shows up outside his room with an armful of 7 puppies and just goes “I didn’t know which one you wanted and it got out of hand I’m sorry please help me”

Zane is most definitely Cole’s impulse control

Cole: Zane is on a mission so I’m gonna cut the sleeves off all my shirts Kai: why would you do thatCole: cause he’s like 83% of my impulse control so

Zane: cole no you cannot punch that old lady in the faceCole: Zane she barged you out the way?!? And then looked at us like we were dirt?!?!! Just one punch I promise!! Zane: I got this bby *walks over to the lady* *inhales* wHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT THE LOVE OF MY LIFE :))

Cole: Zane ask me why I love you Zane: why do you love meCole, opening up his 130 slide powerpoint presentation: I thought you’d never ask

Cole would kill for people to play with his hair so Zane will brush it and braid it and tie it up for him and Cole is always sat there like :) I love this boy :)

Someone: throws something at ZaneCole: *running jump kicks the object out of the air and then backhands whoever threw it*Zane: what was that noiseCole: oh nothing baby I love you :)

Zane can breathe and cole will be like “you’re doing amazing sweetie”

Zane: ice is nice!!Cole: I’m so gay I’m so gay I’m so gay I’m so gay I’m so ga

Zane keeps a very close eye on cole during battle and he doesn’t like when they have to split up and he can’t be with cole, because how is he supposed to keep an eye on him? How is he supposed to stop him getting hurt? Oh no what if he gets hurt it’ll be Zane’s fault he promised to look after him

Cole is like I love you be safe!!!!! *smooch* and Zane is like “ok I feel a bit better now”

Cole is like unbelievably good at picking up vibes, Zane doesn’t even have to say anything and cole will know if he’s upset or stressed or angry and he will just squeeze his hand and give him a soft smile and Zane is like :D !!

Very convenient that Zane is the master of ice because they can still cuddle in the summer and Zane can just turn up the AC so cole doesn’t melt and all is well!!!!!

Cole: *winks*Zane: *short circuits*

Kai: being gay isn’t contagious ZaneZane: then how come I get gay thoughts whenever cole takes his shirt off >://

Piggy backs for the win

Cole: ONWARD MY NOBLE STEEDZane: :D!!!!!!!!!!!!! *trips and falls in a ditch*

Zane: cole, you are the most beautiful boy in ninjago. Trust me, my database has scanned and compared everyone across its entirety.

One time Zane accidentally flings cole off the bounty

Cole: hey babe give me a boost I need to reach something on the roofZane: oh of course *picks up cole and throws him so high he flies completely over the roof*

Movie nights because Zane can download anything and everything

Zane: you had better appreciate this movie I almost download a malware for this >:/

Cole is so smad because who is knocking on his door at 2am but he opens it and Zane is standing there and he just goes “I have done some extensive research and I have come to the conclusion that I am in love with you :D” and cole swears he sees the light at the end of the tunnel that’s how much he nearly dies

Cole: Zane can you make me a pieZane: no. Cole: when did you stop loving me Zane: oh no he thinks I don’t love him??? I didn’t realise he wanted a pie so badly oh no I don’t want him to be sad D:*An hour later* Zane: *shows up with 15 pies*

Cole would die a thousand deaths just to make Zane laugh and it’s not that hard to because Zane doesn’t even really find Cole’s jokes that funny but he laughs because he sees how happy it makes cole and that little triumphant glint Cole gets in his eyes and oh my goodness he is done for

Cole: Zane can you lend me a handZane: *pulls his arm off and throws it across the room*

Cole: I can’t stand people talking about their girl. I like lowkey stuff.Cole 3 seconds later: EVERYBODY LOOK AT BAE, HE’S SO CUTE, HE HAS A FACE AND OPINIONS

zane is the only one on the team strong enough to lift cole so he will use that to his advantage.

is too tired, zane needs to carry him

has hurt his knee, zane needs to carry him

is sad, zane needs to carry him

had a near death experience, zane needs to carry him

is too hungry, zane needs to carry him

needs to be carried, zane needs to carry him

zane knows his game you ain’t slick cole, but who is he to say no to his bf he is only too happy to indulge him

the only time they have ever had an argument is when Zane beat Cole on guitar hero and Cole has honestly never felt more betrayed in his life and wouldn’t talk to Zane for the rest of the day

Lloyd asks zane to help him map out something for a mission and he just goes “I’m sorry Lloyd but I am gay :/” and cole is like I have been waiting for this day because he says it all the time and now they can twin

speaking of twinning, matching outfits. that’s all I will say. they’re the cutest matching couple ever.

zane will play airhorns whenever cole burns someone but it gets out of hand

wu I need to borrow some money” *air horns play in the distance*

zane and cole rolling in wearing cool sunglasses as zane plays a cool theme song is obviously a must

ask me ninjago headcanons!

 okay i’m totally late and im not surprised “Person A has to work in the heat, so Person B comes to help him and get him water and cold snacks” or something like that i love to think that shadow REALLY hates heat, his fur is like... black, abundant and thick... but silver is feeling okay so he is taking care of his tired bf (sorry for my english that made you cry) @shadilver-week
