I’m still thinking about Yukina and I blame both the NY event and AiAi for her rising to 3rd place for like. The ninth time or something

Anyway this is a mini rant (that’s actually an appreciation post) bc I remembered something I read once and basically! I feel like sometimes characters are interpreted in a kinda reductive/black-and-white way and I’ve seen Yukina getting flak (in terms of development) for staying single-mindedly interested in music and only doing other things/going out of her comfort zone because she thinks it’ll benefit Roselia. And like. First of all, Yukina cares about her bandmates so heckin much. As people, as friends, not just as musicians. If she’s trying new things for their sake then she’s being a good friend who’s interested in other people’s interests, which she most certainly wasn’t for a long time. That’s the important thing. In the past Yukina has hurt people with her fixation on music even if she didn’t mean to. She’s in a healthier place and knows better now so music being her thing still is just . . . really great, actually? It’s who she is. Idk guys it’s just Good when characters develop but still retain those qualities that make them who they are. If Yukina wasn’t the incredible singer who’s kinda endearingly bad at other things . . . sob I love her ok and imho her development has definitely not been stagnant

This has nothing to do with anything I just continue to have weirdly specific stuff I want to get off my chest aa
