Mayuko has reached 3000 comments! So I'm opening up a Relationship Meme for her. Essay requests, Headcanon questions, Top 5 lists or other selections from the Question or Anything Goes meme are valid as well!

Re: Question Meme!

[welcome_summer]

Firstly, thanks for your questions! I have thoughts/musings along these lines (sob, astrology headcanon) that I am just so shy about putting up, "gosh, people are going to seeee, they will judge meee ;o;" And somehow this format is... very comfortable for me to share in. So truly, thank you!

Let's do the second one first. Mayuko's opinion of the Sohma family dynamic has never been stellar. She's been witnessing instances of secrecy and abuse throughout her interactions with them. And she thought that the abuse was the core cause for the damaged personalities! But after learning about the curse here in camp, she realizes that the curse is the cause, and everything else is the effect! An important thing to note is that Mayu knows about the curse, but she doesn't know that it's breaking. Shigure didn't tell her, and she hasn't figured out that that's Tohru's purpose! So as far as she knows, it's permanent.

She views it as a tragic situation, and perilous! The most striking thing to her is the no hugging the opposite sex thing. It means no getting cuddles from an SO, or a friend, sure. But, if either is cursed, a child not receiving positive physical contact from a parent? I'm sure there are studies on how psychologically damaging that is! (Just thinking about IF THEY EVER GOT THAT FAR, Hatori w/daughters... yeah, it hurts Mayu in the kokoro.)

But even if Mayuko knew the curse was breaking... she would not take steps to break it herself. That's the problem with playing her as a Lawful type- they support The Way Things Are. She can speak out against injustice in front of her, but she's not interested in a revolution. In camp, as of now, so long as Akito does not bring harm to her students, then he can do whatever.
