YURI? IN MY STYLE SAVVY GAME? It's More Likely Than You Think

Something I find fascinating is the way Matakara just refuses to take off his rose colored glasses when it comes to Arajin. Matakara is a kind, sincere and thoughtful guy, ready to fight injustice, so you would think he would not stand someone with a personality like Arajin. But that's not what's happening here. He always talks about the "super cool and kind and strong Ara-chan" even though this description could not be more removed from reality. Even as "Matakara's childhood friend", Arajin didn't have the strength to defend his opinions or protect Matakara (and the bullies make fun of him for that!)

I wonder what Matakara is seeing in Arajin, that we, the viewers aren't seeing yet

I really enjoyed the character stuff in the most recent Bucchigiri?! episode. It gave me a lot of things to think on. Currently, I don't really feel the need to judge the morality of certain actions, just their sources and consequences. Like Arajin is acting cruelly and selfishly but I can see the reasons why. He doesn't feel like he's worthy of supporting Matakara through this difficult period because Matakara is relying on a version of Arajin that doesn't exist. He can't give him what he wants or needs. Arajin could make an effort to support him, but he's so used to fleeing from conflict that he doesn't know how. This isn't to give him a free pass on his bullshit, it's just that the way he hurt Matakara is a reflection on how he feels about his own weakness. It's a form of character conflict that's interesting to think about.

Wanted to draw them more <3

Alright man alright.

aaaaaaahh the differences between Arajin's lunch and Matakara's lunch.....

Arajin is eating a bento that his mother cooked (with LOVE), you can see noodles, meat and vegetables in it (it's a nutritious, healthy lunch)

Matakara is eating something he bought at a supermarket for more or less 1000 yen, there's mainly rice and meat in there (it can fill his stomach but it's not really "healthy")

Despite eating delicious homecooked food everyday, Arajin has been terrible to his mother (yelling at her, calling her "old hag" etc)

Despite having cheap food for lunch, Matakara doesn't complain or act rude to his loved ones

arajin i hope your ego death will be painful + you deserve everything that's coming for you 🫶

so in every style savvy game there's a guy in it that wants to kiss you so bad. this guy does not exist in styling star. styling star is the game with a very obvious lesbian couple in it. it has just occured to me at 2 in the morning that there isn't a boy who wants to kiss you in styling star because Yolanda wants to kiss you

If Nintendo wasn't a coward then Style Savvy: Styling Star could've had an afterstory where Alina and Yolanda heard a rumour that Camilla was going to propose to Rosie and they wanted to see it in person and you had to give them disguises so you dress Alina in bold clothes and Yolanda in lively clothes and Camilla and Rosie go to a fancy restaurant for their date and Yolanda and Alina are sitting a few tables away and Rosie sees them and is like "Alina and Yolanda what are you doing here" and Alina is like. "Uh. I'm not Alina. I'm. Alana." And Yolanda says "And I'm...Jolene." And Rosie is fooled by this and says "oh sorry lol" and continues her date and Camilla doesn't propose and Alina and Yolanda go DAMMIT I guess we were wrong. And they go back to your boutique and are like "We shouldn't give up that easily" and you give Yolanda a gothic outfit and Alina a feminine outfit and Rosiemilla's next date is at an amusement park and Rosie sees them again and goes "Huh. You know I have two friends that look just like you, but the one with long hair likes feminine clothes, and the one with short hair likes gothic clothes" and they're like sweating and going "HUH YEAH WILD" and then they get the hell out of there while still being in the amusement park and Camilla doesn't propose again and they go "That was too close. We're not trying that again." And then Rosie shows up to your boutique and goes "I need a really nice girly outfit for my next date with Camilla" and you can choose to do her makeup and hair too if you want and then on their next date which is in a more private place which Rosie invited you to third wheel to she gets down on one knee and proposes and Camilla of course says yes and then Yolanda and Alina show up in your boutique again and you go "guess what" and they go "NO WAY" and it culminates in you picking out two white party dresses for Rosie and Camilla for their wedding
