App addition for new canon information recently dropped. Spoilers for Mayoi's background

[personal profile] rottencactus 2022-12-20 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
Summary pt 2: In late of new information, I am here to add that some of the origins of Mayoi's constant anxiety and poor self-esteem has been revealed to be that he is keeping his entire family a secret. It turns out that Mayoi belongs to a clan that was driven underground many, many years ago. Because of this shameful exile (due to his clans defeat by another clan at the time), the Ayase clan has simply never been documented. They are living illegally as non-citizens in Japan with no protection or human rights under the government and if they were to be found out, they would face unfathomable legal consequences. Mayoi works above ground as an idol with forged identification and falsified paperwork, and lives under the constant fear that he will slip up and bring ruin to his entire family.

He is incredibly stressed out at all times, and this explains his fear of having attention centered on him. After all, if people look too close, it would be bad. It also sheds a lot of interesting light on his inferiority complex, now that we know it isn't personal to just him, but rather, generational trauma that he has been internalized by his entire clan. In spite of all of this danger, however, Mayoi still pursued his dream of being an idol, having spent his isolated childhood listening to the voices from above "Like faeries from another world." He was desperate to become part of the surface world, and wanted it bad enough that his family supported him and got him his forged paperwork. Mayoi wasn't a Phantom of The Opera reference, after all. He was The Little Mermaid.

I HAVE DECIDED TO NOT CHANGE MEMORIES AFTER A LOT OF DELIBERATION. I think I can work with everything here and I believe I am all set to jump back in the game. Thank you again for your patience while I handled this situation lmfao.
