hi! I'm Grace and I'm an artist, I make art of my various interests but you'll see Blue Exorcist (especially Rin/Shiemi) the most often from me! 💙🌷

gonna be real I just have a hard time keeping up on any social media these days... no matter which blue app it's hard for me to feel like posting much at all

I love drawing and talking about the things I love still, just gets harder and feels less motivating to post about things in these spaces

summer is over now and i gave up like rlly quickly into this bc poses are hard but i rlly like the faces so just take it lol

but it’s unfair, especially since I know for a fact the analysis had nothing to do with anything negative in anyway towards any other characters or ships.

anyways that’s my say on this and now I’m back to my void
flowerofmayhem.bsky.social
this came about because saw people being nasty towards my friend on her lovely RinShi analysis thread on twt

I don’t get why others are suddenly acting like our side even discussing RinShi in depth is “making everything just about RinShi” and like we in particular are annoying about it…
flowerofmayhem.bsky.social
it’s also not Rin/Shiemi shippers making the “whole story” only about them, it’s talking about one part of all the many aspects and characters beloved by this side of the fandom

you don’t have to focus on the same parts we do and that’s fine.

but likewise let us enjoy our ship.
flowerofmayhem.bsky.social
to act like it’s more “annoying” when our part of the fandom participates in these topics because we love this story and the characters and wanna discuss those elements in details?

to discuss our ship in detail, is not something done to insult or discredit others ships y’all.
flowerofmayhem.bsky.social
double standards in fandom is something, all shipping fandoms enjoy writing analysis posts and sharing the love they have for their ships and focusing on the narrative/story elements that mean a lot.

so why is it okay to vague post or reply rude things suddenly when it’s RinShi?
flowerofmayhem.bsky.social
one day I really wanna deep dive into this topic and my analysis of how amazing Kato is at depicting the many layers and aspects to handling loss and all that

it's relatable in a way hard to describe... but she handles all those little nuances in a way that is so real and human
flowerofmayhem.bsky.social
the way he likely never fully allowed himself besides the day it happened and at Shiro's funeral to dwell on all those emotions deep inside

and how finally getting to say thank you and see how much his parents loved him... led him to finally just break down and let all those emotions out
flowerofmayhem.bsky.social
I also think of how Yukio had to fall into so many roles in his life to try to fill his dad's shoes and how that added to not getting to properly even mourn in many ways

I think of how it took all the way til the blue night arc and seeing Shiro again for Rin to finally have a true breakdown and cry
flowerofmayhem.bsky.social
I think to how Rin and Shiemi's first meeting and connection started with both handling grief and blaming themselves for losing those they loved

I think to how Shiemi was traumatized when little after her dad died and lost her memories (mixed with other trauma I'm sure)
flowerofmayhem.bsky.social
in each of the main trio: Rin, Shiemi and Yukio all handle grief and the way it has affected them in different ways

sometimes you push yourself forward to keep going because it's all you know how to do, sometimes it causes you to be stuck, and sometimes you don't even understand how to process it
flowerofmayhem.bsky.social
I should sleep but up late for whatever reason thinking about grieving and how loss truly affects so many things.

while thinking about my own feelings of loss, I can't help but think of AoEx and how one of the core messages to me is showing grief and the many different sides to it.

it's shown
flowerofmayhem.bsky.social
finished the coloring on this Shiemi redraw I did for an redraw event in the aoex art server.

I had it sitting around for like a year or so? but it was almost done decided to finish it.

the summer themed Rin and Shiemi are legit so cute! like look at them both! 💙🌸
flowerofmayhem.bsky.social
because the things I see are directly misconstruing the characters and the relationships they have, all for a preference which is just sad to see.

have some respect for goodness sake.
flowerofmayhem.bsky.social
some may not ship them, but a line needs to be drawn between not liking a ship and spouting out hatred and lies about the characters and what their relationship dynamic truly is.
flowerofmayhem.bsky.social
to claim otherwise is a blatant lie.

to act like Shiemi has ever done things to cause Rin any harm ever... is truly lacking of comprehension of who she is and how she cares about him.
flowerofmayhem.bsky.social
it's why he's so happy now knowing she loves him too, it's why he's so happy to start dating and all the new aspects to their relationship as it blooms further and deeper than it already is.

Shiemi and Rin are in love, and also BEST FRIENDS and these are the facts end of the day
flowerofmayhem.bsky.social
Rin is not the idiot you claim he is, and he's not so fragile that someone he loves like Shiemi needing her time to figure out how she feels and space will cause him to be mad at her.

in fact it's the opposite, because he LOVES her for who she is it's why he respects her.
flowerofmayhem.bsky.social
some people project so hard their idea of Rin and who he is and how they see him, or get upset on his behalf and claim he was "mistreated" look man if you got rejected and threw a fit that's on you

Rin is a better guy and person and seems some are shocked to find that out
flowerofmayhem.bsky.social
you are the type that decide a girl dating someone or not determines their "worth"

sounds like to me some people are mad Rin actually loves Shiemi regardless of what their relationship status is, and you cannot fathom someone seeing a women as both a friend and a partner
flowerofmayhem.bsky.social
Rin understands Shiemi and wasn't pushy about these things, it doesn't make him dumb or anything either for not being upset about things taking awhile

Rin actually respects Shiemi as a person and friend, and if y'all see this as a "bad thing" well enjoy being misogynistic since
flowerofmayhem.bsky.social
the reason Rin and Shiemi's buildup and growth to them finally confessing their feelings and starting to date finally is well written is BECAUSE they aren't perfect

it's because she needed time, and instead of being upset Rin is able to understand her and likewise her with him.
