#CUTE... the twintails... the colors... perfect.........

Ooo!! Which OC was your favorite to design? (Feel free to list multiple if you can't chose!!)
honestly the funnest characters to design are the ones where you instantly know what their ***color pallete*** will be cuz it's all fine and dandy knowing the shape and the face until you realise you have no clue what colors you're going to slap on those shapes and face. that being said the funnest funkiest top 5 are as follows -
5. diane lodestar
Tumblr media
even her first design 2 ish years ago was fun to draw (brace yourself for ugly old zeno art):
Tumblr media
(why was she so skinny here...💔) anyway i knew exactly what she was going to look like because she was heavily based on that one pokemon character (wicke) and just had a fun futuristic pallete i guess? and now her features are more stylised which is fun. there's a reason she barely changed after her first design lol
4. needles (of the church)
here i'll also say that needles doesn't have a last name so she's just called needles of the church! anyway i drew her up in one go and i knew i had a hit on my hands, she's very fun to draw and i love her very much even though she kills indiscriminately
Tumblr media
(first design of her, complete with all my ref pics so you can take a peek into the inner machine algorithm workings of zenobot-3000)
Tumblr media
(final design noticed how hardly anything has changed. she is too cute and perfect for this world)
3. lars lycan
i don't have many big guy ocs so lars is fun to draw because he's so top heavy. also the like line/swoop thingy shape he has going on that's fun idk how to describe it sorry
Tumblr media
(literally cannot crop shear out of this image without cropping out lars' snout which is kind of in character for shear lol. also having 6 top surgery scars (yes the x's are scars) doesnt really make sense but its funny and it fills up the torso and its fun to draw)
2. doctor novocaine
big hair twintails upturned eyes :3 face and cotton candy/toothpaste/trans flag colors NUFF SAID 😤😤😤
Tumblr media
1. octaviaaaaaaaaaaa
she's fuckin COOL!!!!! also here's the first sketch of her most recent design. even when i gave her and savory massive overhauls i hardly changed her apart from getting rid of a lab coat and slightly changing the dress and changing the color palette to be edgier and when i say it like that it sounds like a lot but its really not kind of
Tumblr media
(ohmygod she looks so weird without lips honestly ,,,, and also her face was kinda long it's like flatter and wider now,,, i gotta redo her refsheet man)

Ranking the girls magic Winx outfits
I was bored so I figured I was gonna make a post about my favorite show growing up. Favorite show is an euphemism, it was actually my religion 😂
Disclaimer: This is only my personal opinion^^
6th place: Tecna (4,5/10)
Tumblr media
While I applaud the originality...might be a lil too original for my taste. It took me 18 years to figure out the green things on her back were wings. I don't like the shape of the helmet and - this one is personal - but purple has never been my color. And I know she was sweating in that damn suit. The one detail I do like is the shape of the heels. She still looks good though, I mean, when did she ever not look good ?
5th place: Bloom (5,5/10)
Tumblr media
Bloom is my favorite Winx (I'm only talking about s1-3 Bloom, we don't talk about the other one) but while Tecna is too much, I feel like her transformation is too simple ? It's pretty, but it lacks some element that would distinguish it from the others, some originality...some spark. I do like the shape of the top and the boots are cute. Also think there is some appeal to simplicity + blue really is her color. Wished they did something with her hair it would have made a big difference.
4th place: Musa (7,5/10)
Tumblr media
I really hesitated but finally put her at 4th. I love the high boots and the see-through part of the outfit. The ribbon on her arm is a nice detail but what I like the most is the shape of her wings, reminds me of a dragonfly, sooo cute. Of course her piggytails are iconic (bonus point for the headset) and there's no better match than black hair with a red outfit. Really, the only reason it's not higher on the list is because while I think it looks great, I would've liked something a little more...idk messy for Musa ? You know something that screams rebel, this outfit needed some ripped parts to it.
3rd place: Flora (8,5/10)
Tumblr media
Hesitated btw her and Musa, but she won the dual. I love the shades of pink they used and I think it complements her skin tone perfectly + the symmetry of it all is sooo satisfying to me. Her wings scream tinkerbell and the color prevents the whole thing from being too...pink. I love the shape of the top, kinda looks like a corset and same goes for the gloves (the end of the gloves looks like petals). Overall, her outfit screams Flora and is just the perfect mix of glamor and femininity.
2nd place: Aisha/Layla (9,5/10)
Tumblr media
First, I think green does wonders when paired with dark skin/dark hair and she is no exception. I love the skirt and the fact that we can see the shorts underneath. The shape of the outfit is chaotic and asymmetrical and I love it (especially the silver ring on her hip which links several parts of the outfit together which is so pretty and original). Bonus points for the jewelry (simple, but so effective) and the white heels which are so satisfying to me for some obscure reason.
1st place: Stella (10/10)
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
This one is a mistery to me. It's almost as simple as Bloom's outfit, but idk it just works so well ? Like it was meant to be ? Her boots are iconic, the twintails/bangs/headband combo is deadly. The fact that the headband is matching whatever is on her arms. I'm personally a sucker for shorts and for some reason it goes so well with the shape of the top ? And orange is just soooo her color. It screams hot, it screams Stella. I think every element on its own is rather simple but when put together they just work. Oh, and the three part wings are so pretty and add the extravagance the whole look needed.

ok since i’m so hyped here are my predictions for mikus pokemon and designs (and vocaloP) for project voltage: (disclaimer, the vocaloP choices are probably super unrealistic im not super knowledgeable on vocaloP and i don’t know who they could reasonably get this is just my very limited and biased view)
👁️‍🗨️psychic: meloetta (already confirmed)
🌊water: primarina (already confirmed)
🔥fire: skeledirge (already confirmed)
🌱grass: rillaboom (already confirmed)
⚪️normal: ok i’m gonna be pissed if either normal or fairy isn’t jigglypuff. fits the music/singing theme perfectly AND is pokemon #39 which is the miku number. if they’re cowards or put jigglypuff in the fairy slot, then i could see exploud or chatot for the music theme or maybe even lopunny for the twintails? oh or obv farfetchd cuz it was in the kei art. probably farfetchd.
this design might be closest to regular miku. or they take it in a lass/schoolgirl direction?
Oster project would be cute for this one i think! or 40mp
❄️ice: Alolan Vulpix, cuz there was already a pokemon x miku crossover with alolan vulpix. maybe lapras or frosslass or amaura tho if they don’t go with that.
gotta be tons of pale blue, maybe some pink thrown in. i wonder if they’re gonna go with the cute route or the elegant route. ooh maybe she’ll be snow miku-y
or oster project for this one lmaoo
👻ghost: i can’t wait to see this one. it’s kinda hard to pick tho? i could see oricorio, but that might be used for the flying spot. gengar is basically the ghost type pokemon so i could see that as well, but i think it’s gonna be rotom. i’ve seen fanmade rotom mikus before and they’re perfect. i hope it’s that
this miku is gonna be so spookyyyy. i’m thinkin a lil mischievous and sharp teeth and stuff. wispy twintails. ik she’s an electric gym leader but iono vibes
dudeeee if they got mafumafu for this one it’d go so harddddd. they got him to do the anime op a few years ago i really hope he’s part of this collab. syudo would go hard for ghost too
🐛bug: frosmoth? illumise? maybe kriketune for the music theme… idk this one’s tough. final answer frosmoth.
hmm this one’s hard. i hope they make her a lil nerdy. give her round glasses or smth
oohhh i could see pinocchio p for the bug type one. i really hope he’s part of this he’s my favorite vocaloP
😈dark: i’m feelin obstagoon on this one bc of the music theme. maybe absol or morpeko tho.
yess this miku is gonna be so intense. heavy makeup and spikey collars and shit hell yeah. piers from swsh vibes for sure
syudo!!!!!
⚡️electric: very well could be pikachu. it’s just a shoo in at this point. if not, then toxtricity bc of the music theme, or a pikaclone like pachirisu maybe.
probably leaning into the android/digital theme. definitely super energetic. iono vibes
giga??? giga would be perfect
👊fighting: it’s gotta be sirfetchd right? leek and all. idk if they’d wanna do two pokemon from the same line if they do farfetch’d for normal or flying. or i mean, they could be lame and go for pirouette form meloetta ig… quaquaval? iron valiant miku would go hard tho
…. the only thing that comes to mind for design is seraphim on the ring miku lmaoooo
that makes me want to say mitchie m but i have no clue lmaooo
🧚‍♀️fairy: like i said, jigglypuff. if they put jigglypuff in the normal slot, then i could see gardevoir or togekiss. i would also love tinkaton miku tho. it does kinda have twintails
obv very pink! super adorable. i feel like her eyes are gonna be big and either sparkly or kinda empty like valeries from x and y lol
hmmm maybe toa?
🧲steel: ok hear me out. metang. her twintails could look like it’s arms. realistically, i think they’d more likely go metagross in that case tho even tho it has four arms. maybe klink? it’s got miku color in it. cobalion also has miku color. honedge? magearna miku would go hard too. final answer is metagross tho
maybe kinda robot-y? idk we definitely getting some cool grays and teal tho
nayutalien maybe idk i get the vibes.
🪨rock: amaura or arourus probably. i could also see diancie tho
ok i’m kinda stumped on a design and vocaloP for this one tho. genres definitely gonna be rock tho.
🗻ground: this one’s tough. palpitoad/seismatoad fit the music/sound theme but they’re ugly so i’m doubtful. could go for the fan favorite in wooper/quagsire but idk if they would. idk if wooper has the same impact in japan as he does here. nidoqueen maybe? final answer wooper ig
also kinda stumped.
🪽flying: could be farfetchd. i kinda forgot it was also a flying type. i would love oricorio miku tho. ideally with parts of each form incorporated into her design, but if they just stuck to one form, i’d say pom pom for the vibes or sensu for the color.
oooh we gettin a lil adorable ditzy mikuuuu we got the light blues for sure. skyla from black and white vibes
could see oster project for this one too lmao
☠️poison: ROSERADE MIKU WOULD GO SO HARDDDD. i think it’s unlikely tho :( most likely it’s gonna be toxtricity if he’s not used in the electric slot. if he is, then maybe toxapex or drapion?
i feel like they’re gonna go with a roxie from bw2 vibe for this one and i’m so here for it.
deco*27 i feel
🐉dragon: ok i’m like 75% sure it’s gotta be altaria right? the other 25% is dragonair. i hope it’s altaria tho i love altaria
ok if it’s altaria maybe they’ll do lisia from ora’s vibes i could see that. if not maybe we get dragon trainer miku? clair from johto vibes??? that would go hard ngllll
idk for this one ngl….
anyway i can’t wait to see how wrong i am :D i’m in love with project voltage aaaaa

★~ Favorite animal: Frog, Anything cute.
★~ Hometown: Saitama ★~Series : Idolm|@|ster Million live, Idolm|@|ster
Tagged~ Yayoiyaychuu
Tumblr media
Character introduction:
Nice to meet you! I'm Takatsuki Yayoi, 14 years old, and um, I'm a new IDOL! Huh? What is it, Otonashi-san? I was too loud and the recording could be ruined? I'M SORRY!! Um, well, I'm always energetically working hard like this, even though I don't get that much work... But still, my dream is to become a wonderful idol who can give energy to everyone! My singing and dancing still aren't that good yet, but I'm going to give it my all in practicing from now on! Looking forward to working with you!
Interesting facts
★~ Othello is ~Reversi is a strategy board game for two players, played on an 8×8 uncheckered board. There are sixty-four identical game pieces called disks(often spelled “discs”), which are light on one side and dark on the other.
Players take turns placing disks on the board with their assigned color facing up.
During a play, any disks of the opponent’s color that are in a straight line and bounded by the disk just placed and another disk of the current player’s color are turned over to the current player’s color.
The object of the game is to have the majority of disks turned to display your color when the last playable empty square is filled.
★~ Yayoi is known to have monstrous stamina and is able to dance on stage for hours without taking a single break.
★~ Yayoi has a fear of heights, to the point of screaming and crying for help when trying to look down at the ground (even when on an airplane).
★~ Even though Yayoi is a very cheerful and optimistic girl, when angered (which almost never happens except with Hibiki and her younger brother) she is extremely ferocious |esphally when it comes to her siblings.
★~ Although Yayoi dislikes wasting money, she loves to eat. If she can, she often goes for seconds or even thirds during breakfast and dinner. Despite this, she is surprisingly not selfish and loves to share her food with others.
★~ If Yayoi comes across a vending machine, she will dig in the change slot or under the machine, searching for spare change.
★~ Yayoi is best friends with Iori, but it isn’t explained how she and Iori became friends, or how they first met
★~ Yayoi likes to high-five occasionally, which she calls “Hi-touch”
★~ Yayoi has a cute AhAh catchphrase when she talks.
About:
Yayoi has long, reddish-brown hair which she keeps back in two twintails using scrunchies. She usually wears a long-sleeved orange shirt, a short denim skirt, and her frog wallet (Berochoro) that she wears around her neck.
Yayoi Takatsuki, 13 |14| years old, is very energetic, optimistic, and hyperactive at all times. Her strong will and optimistic traits are perfect for being an idol, though she frequently speaks too loud and sometimes can’t control herself so that she is often hushed or punished by others, especially during school.
She is also not the smartest of girls, hence the reason why she has low grades in school.
Yayoi loves to be of use and of help to others, doing housework and cleaning in the 765 Production building. She is also a good cook and prepares dinner and breakfast for her siblings when her parents are away from work.
Her family consists of herself, her father and mother, and her four siblings. Being the oldest of the five children, she looks out for her brothers and sisters and is very protective and fond of them, playing baseball with her brothers on her days off.
She is closest to her younger sister Kasumi (霞).
Because of her father’s unstable occupational status, her family is considered to be poor, and thus Yayoi often wears plain or baggy clothing and is living in a small house.
Yayoi is also very frugal and self-conscious when it comes to finance;. Yayoi is said to never be good at video games.
If she feels like she spent money on something useless, even down to just 10 yen, she will become extremely depressed and can stay in bed for days with her regrets haunting her.

Powers:
Vocal Replication:
The user is able to mimic the voices of others or imitate sounds such as animal noises and explosions. Any sound the user hears they can replicate with perfect clarity along with any manner the sound was made.
Sounds that are too high or too low in sound frequency may be impossible to replicate or cause considerable strain on the user's body.
Users of Alternative Communication cannot be copied.
Can not be used if the throat is sore or damaged.
Psychic Communication:
The user is able to open a psionic communication line with another being, rendering them capable of having conversations with others using their minds. The user is able to open up channels of communication with others who may be incapable of physical speech or communicate with a deaf person by linking their minds.
Notably, this power is more narrow in scope than telepathy in that it only allows for communication. The user is typically not able to read the target's mind and only hears the thoughts that the target wishes to convey back to the user.
Telepathic Hijacking
Limited to a certain range to work, including touch only.
Limited to a certain number of targets at a time.
Users of Psychic Shield (highly resistant) and Psychic Immunity (impervious).
The user can’t forcefully read personal thoughts and memories of other minds; the user can only have a dialogue with the other’s consent.
Levitation:
Users can cause oneself/subjects/objects to hover/float in the air unassisted, allowing the user to seamlessly float in the air and prevent their bodies from making contact with the ground below.
May float uncontrollably.
It may be difficult to stabilize.
It may be difficult to maneuver, one could hover in one direction but turning on a dime, pitch, yaw, barrel rolls, and other acrobatic feats are difficult to learn.
Maybe disrupted by a lack of concentration.
May only be able to stay up for a short time.
Weak against Flight Negation.
---------------------------
Backstory:
She's childlike, cute, positive, shy, loving, and perhaps a little too sensitive. But this is all just a facade, a mechanism to deal with her position.
She was born into a large family in an important town. She lived free of trouble until things began to change.
She gained new responsibilities and was very successful. With amazing, new friends, she boomed into an amazing world. But with her eagerness and skills, there's nothing to stop her from doing anything. She could quickly become a great leader, perhaps even of the nation.
But things could change quickly; she is currently searching for a higher purpose. She feels like there's more to discover in this world. Luckily she has great people around to support her.

found another pile of my! chara! parts!
Hime-senpai’s hair (Princess Long) and Elza’s hair (Perfect Long) were both from ranking in parade s2 events. Yurika’s hair (Vampire Twintails) and the Triple Sexy eye color (on Biscuit) were from a limited-time campaign. then the Rock eye color (on Milk) was from the New World Fes, and the gradient Akari hair (Dreamy Mesh) was from a type level-up (also in black for better contrast).
Hime-senpai and Yurika are my fav cute- and cool-type idols respectively, so I thought there was a p good chance I’d want to switch Milk or Biscuit to their hairstyles, but it turns out I didn’t like how they looked even a little, haha.

StarPre: Zodiac Forms
Tumblr media
Now that I’ve got the good quality official art, c’mon, did anyone seriously think I would not ramble about the zodiac forms in another long post? :P lol
Crap, I should be studying my Japanese since I’m traveling to Tokyo next week (GONNA GO VISIT THE PRECURE STORE, WOOOOT~!) but I want to get this post out first cuz I know I won’t have time or internet access to do it later.
So let’s do this!
Tumblr media
Taurus form – BRAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDSSSSSSSSSS
8D
This one I like best out of Star’s two forms (but Pisces is awesome too!) for that reason but I also love how they changed her short tutu-style skirt into an asymmetric, flowing one. And that cow pattern is to die for~! <3
The butterfly earrings and horns are a very nice touch as well! *chef’s kiss*
Pisces form – I can’t explain why or how Hikaru pulls off the mermaid look so well…but she just does, okay?
Maybe it’s the twintails.
Anyways, super cute! Adding a touch of blue and deep magenta to the overall light pink theme really makes her look more tropical.
Then there are the sea accessories and ugh! Sometimes when I look at this, I’m reminded of Mermaid Melody except the way Star is designed here looks a lot more fun.
Tumblr media
Before I get into this, I just want to say that we can now celebrate Lala’s bubble shorts blooming into space dresses! Aaaaaahhh~ <D
Leo form – Y’know when I saw Lala go “RAWR!” in the movie trailer, I was like “This is it, if this is the last thing I see, I’ll be happy I lived”, hahaha!
Lion imagery is just so cool, y’know? (as Gelato can testify)
The wild hair, the crown.
Yeap. This pretty much confirms it. Lala is Space Queen. ;D
Cancer form – I’m simultaneously gushing over her crab hair, how much I love this shade of yellow green and giggling mad that she resembles a jellyfish more than a crustacean. xDD
*sigh* Really, I think Lala’s forms turned out the best. They faithfully captured the aesthetics of the Star Princesses while retaining Milky’s original design and without making it overly gaudy, too.
Lala, you are perfect! <3
Tumblr media
Libra form – Normally, I would say that’s too crazy for even crazy magical girl hair but then I remember Felice’s Alexandrite form and how extra that was in all its Mother Nature floral glory…
…and I just shut my trap.
Still, it seems like Libra form had the least effort put into it.
I mean, yea, they moved some colors around (more like seeped the orange into the ombre of Soleil’s hair) and extended the reaches of her dress but it’s practically the same thing save for Libra’s hairdo…which looks more like a wig she put on that anything.
That’s just it. The dual cornucopia there catches your attention right away on how…fake it looks that it’s as if the rest don’t matter as much. Which is sad cuz the Libra Star Princess is perhaps one of the best Star Princesses based on what little personality we did get from each of them. And I just wanted to see something more creative for her form, that’s all. :(
Maybe it’ll look better in motion? We’ll just have to see if that happens in the movie. As of right now, this still picture isn’t really helping my impression of it.
Scorpio form – Much better. Absolutely adore the slimmer cut and my, does Elena look downright gorgeous with a ponytail! <D
I’m always reading about how “full of passion” Scorpios are and while I don’t let those descriptions get in the way of appreciating their characters, have to admit that “passion” was the first word that came to my mind when I saw Soleil in this form.
She literally looks like a goddess of sunsets. Beautiful.
Tumblr media
Capricorn form – Still not sure if I’m the type of person who favors something just because I so happen to share a quality or trait with that one certain aspect of a character…
And I freely admit that the Capricorn form is not the best of bunch (though it’s definitely not the worst)…
…but it looks unarguably lovely regardless and I love it with all my heart because me is a Capricorn, after all~ <3
The tiny hearts themselves may be a bit much but it’s part of Capricorn Star Princess’s design so honestly, I have zero problem with it. They’re adorable~
Then I kinda squealed because Selene traded her umbrella/lamp shade skirt for a fancy bed canopy! LOL xDD
But most of all, it’s simply wonderful to see Madoka with wavy hair (AGAIN WITH THE HAIR!). Ooooo, gotta love that transition from light purple to fuchsia! X3
Like I said before, they made the Cures’ respective color schemes and the Star Princesses’ color schemes quite compatible. But that’s a given since they’re within close range of each other anyway.
Sagittarius form – Ok, I may have said Lala’s forms looked the best but I believe the Sagittarius form alone can blow everyone else’s out of the sky.
I mean, look at her! Isn’t she friggin’ STUNNING?!
The long side pony tail (*SCREAMS*), the mature vibe the long gown gives off and most of all, MADOKA HOLDING AN ACTUAL BOW AND ARROW AND LOOKING LIKE A WARRIOR MAIDEN DESCENDING FROM THE HEAVENS TO PURGE THE EVIL FROM THIS WRETCH WORLD!!
HAAAAAA……I dunno why I get so emotional over form changes, I just do.
Tumblr media
Alright, first things first. This is not the place for me to spill my grievances about Cosmos in general so rest assured, I won’t do that. But I am allowed to say one thing.
Toei. I don’t understand your incomplete logic.
Cure Cosmos is a rainbow Cure. You either give her all twelve differently colored forms or you give her none at all.
Seriously, it makes no sense that she gets four zodiac forms, leaving the other girls with only two when we could have had:
1) the original starters with three zodiac forms each
2) Cosmos with either twelve (because SHE’S THE CURE OF EFFIN’ RAINBOWS!!) or one exceptionally glorified rainbow super form (with seven cat tails because RAINBOWS!!)
This is less about midseason Cure privilege (which Cosmos has heaps of) or the fact that they won’t be able to fit so many forms in an hour long special (it’s movie budget so piss off!) and more about not doing your math right to get the best, maximum output! xP
*sigh* Ok, petty raging done (for now). Moving along…
Tumblr media
Aries form – As some of you may know, I’m not a fan of Cosmos’ rainbow skirt but I find I can easily overlook that (along with the cat ears, the flat top hat décor, the weird braids and the dorito clips) to appreciate the full picture.
And the Aries form may just be my most favorite out of Cosmos’ forms. Since Aries is the ram constellation, the white wool trim looks appropriate, especially against the crimson of her outfit. Frankly, I think Cosmos looks better in this red design than her normal blue-rainbow Cure form.
Then there’s the poofy (kyaa~!) hair that just acts so well as a backdrop to the ram horns.
Mm, yes, definitely my favorite. *nod nod*
Gemini form – Again, where the fuck were you when Met Gala was happening this year?!
Like, this would not only fit right in with the camp theme but could’ve won best dressed that night!
The only thing I’d consider getting rid of is the rainbow but then it’d probably look less campy so maybe not.
Anyways, I was the least fond of this form when I first saw it but the more I look at it, the more I’m learning to like it…??
The red cape (and cherry earrings) provides a sharp contrast to all the green going on, too.
Tumblr media
Virgo form – Azure blue complements light pink and white in a very angelic sort of way. Pretty~
Cosmos’ hair also looks delightfully charming when it’s curled and has a flower decoration in it.
…That’s all I have to say, really.
Oh no, wait.
It’s extremely odd to me that Cosmos gets two zodiac forms that correspond to other Cures’ birthday signs and she doesn’t even get the form of her own birthday sign.
Hikaru’s is Aries and Elena’s is Virgo. Look who got those forms.
Yuni’s sign is Libra. That form went to Soleil instead.
…WHAT IS UP WITH THAT?! >:/
Aquarius form – Is it just me or do the rainbow pleats actually work here?
We’re dealing with water and the droplet beads attached to the ends really reminds me of the rain so that’s probably why.
Cosmos’ hair also looks mega good in waves, too.
And the stars~! Exquisite!
On another note, again she always comes as a strange package because if cats in general hate water, then pairing Cosmos up with Aquarius is the biggest mismatch of them all, them both having a blue theme be damned. xD;
~~~~~
*SIGH* Finished!
…Or not. One last thing. There’s always one last thing.
It’s just a real shame that these forms are exclusive to the movie. I mean, I know we all have our opinions on whether or not Form Changes are actually useful in the tv series (I don’t care, I just like looking at them and that’s reason enough for me)…
But the stock footage was severely underwhelming for StarPre so having these in the show may have done some good to alleviate that feeling.
Also, the Zodiac forms have a much closer relation to the space motif than the Twinkle forms do. Seriously, the most noticeable things about the Twinkle forms are the tiaras and it’s weird because we already have the Star Princesses. So WHY do we need to put tiaras on the Cures? They’re not aiming to become princesses themselves, they’re channeling the powers of the stars (aka the Zodiac princesses!) so they should take on appearance respective of the star signs!
Again, I really don’t understand Toei logic.
……AND ONE MORE THING! OMGODD

Yayoi Takatsuki, 13 |14| years old, is very energetic, optimistic, and hyperactive at all times. Her strong will and optimistic traits are perfect for being an idol, though she frequently speaks too loud and sometimes can’t control herself so that she is often hushed or punished by others, especially during school. She is also not the smartest of girls, hence the reason why she has low grades in school.
Yayoi loves to be of use and of help to others, doing housework and cleaning in the 765 Production building. She is also a good cook and prepares dinner and breakfast for her siblings when her parents are away from work.
Her family consists of herself, her father and mother, and her four siblings. Being the oldest of the five children, she looks out for her brothers and sisters and is very protective and fond of them, playing baseball with her brothers on her days off. She is closest to her younger sister Kasumi (霞).
Because of her father’s unstable occupational status, her family is considered to be poor, and thus Yayoi often wears plain or baggy clothing and is living in a small house. Yayoi is also very frugal and self-conscious when it comes to finance;. Yayoi is said to never be good at video games.
If she feels like she spent money on something useless, even down to just 10 yen, she will become extremely depressed and can stay in bed for days with her regrets haunting her.

Fall 2017 Anime First Impressions
And so here I am again, three weeks late because I can never keep up. Fall 2017 thus far doesn’t seem too, too bad, but I’m sure that will change, considering the multiple original shows on my watching list. Luckily there’s plenty of cute girls doing cute things shows, which is all I need, really. As usual, here’s what I’m watching, with MAL links and original shows marked: Osake wa Fuufu (MAL) Starting off with a short show this time. Osake wa Fuufu follows a wife, Chisato, and her husband, Sora. Sora likes making drinks, and Chisato likes drinking. Match made in heaven, if you ask me. The show even includes drink recipes depending on the featured drink, and a food pairing with it. It's a three minute show about a cute, drunk wife. What's not to like?
URAHARA (MAL) Taking a sharp departure from the calmness of Osake wa Fuufu, URAHARA involves three fashion-loving Harajuku girls saving the planet from aliens. This show is Harajuku personified. Everything from the character design to the OP explodes with a bubbly, colorful atmosphere, wrapped up in a beautiful watercolor aesthetic. ORESAMA's fantastic brand of electropop is the exact cherry on top the art style needed. Rito is the skateboarding, soft-spoken girl with demon horns, Kotoko is the peppy blonde kemonomimi, and Mari is the twintailed idol who also owns the clothes shop the girls work at. After aliens sucking up cultural landmarks appear, an American girl wearing a talking fried shrimp shows up, gives them "physical manifestations of imagination," and they promptly transform into magical girls and fight the aliens, making them explode and turn into donuts. Sure, that made no sense at all, but everything's so colorful. Capped off by a similarly bubbly ED, this show is just outright fun. If it stays about three cute girls happily fighting fashion-stealing aliens, I'm in.
Dies Irae (MAL) Just as an FYI, Dies Irae aired an episode zero prequel, but I've waited until the formal episode one before doing any impressions, seeing as the prequel was a complete clusterfuck anyway. Now then, after the prequel involving Nazi supermen, Dies Irae's main series cuts to the future and the protagonist Ren, a solemn oft-hospitalized teen. Plenty of mysteries abound - a sudden murder, a strange vision at a museum, a runaway friend, a girl calling him Cagliostrio in a dream - interspersed throughout an otherwise thoroughly boring slice of life. Following that, the episode alos teases plenty of the insane bullshit the prequel was few of. In one line, one character drops 5 proper nouns we have had zero interaction with, with the off mention of one name from the prequel episode. Foreshadowing is fine; introducing three characters in the span of 15 seconds and then talking about 5+ more of them is a bit much. The art is nothing special, and the orchestral soundtrack is unique enough, but if the prequel was any indication, this show is going to get insane, really fast. And not insane like the fun, rollercoaster ride kind. More like the trying-too-hard, unnecesarily edgy, impossible to actually follow kind.
Net-juu no Susume (MAL) Ah, the MMO spin on the isekai genre. Net-juu follows Moriko, a NEET woman living alone who devotes her time to playing a guy (Hayashi) in an MMO. She meets with an amazingly cute girl, Lily (who later we see to be a guy IRL), and they start adventuring together. Cut to 70-odd levels of grinding, joining a guild, and an upgraded PC later, Moriko/Hayashi has settled in just fine. First off, Lily's VA is the fucking cutest, holy shit. My reactions about echoed Moriko's anytime she was being cute. Other than that, the first episode was surprisingly sincere. Relatively light on the "MY REAL LIFE IS ON THE INTERNET!!" in favor of Moriko just being more of an awkward, lazy video game nerd. Using video games to not have to deal with real life is nothing new, but the heart with which Hayashi/Lily meet and grow in just one episode impressed me. This could go either way, and I'm hoping it stays a interesting vignette on the trials and tribulations of the two lives Moriko lives.
[ORIG] Just Because! (MAL) Next up, Just Because sees Eita Izumi returning after four years to his locale's high-school, reuniting with people he lost touch with. The first episode sees a wonderful moment of return, as Eita practices with an old baseball friend, leading the practicing band to strike up into the chorus they played at games, seeminginly on their own. The trumpets flowing into the full orchestral matches the rising tone perfectly. Juxatposed with a Photography Club facing termination and a former class prez buried in obligations, a web of connections lies in wait, ready to reaccept Eita. The art is quite muted, and even with complaints about the hot weather, the sun is behind clouds and the cityscape is grey, as opposed to the beating sun we often see. Just Because's first episode, while not telling much, showed plenty, and indicated what the main issues would be and who would be involved, and that's exactly what a first episode should do. If an original work is showing that early on, maybe it has more direction than most - and that's a very good thing.
[ORIG] Two Car (MAL) Sidecar racing is something I haven't seen, for sure. The island of Miyakejima, with its uncontrolled speed limits, is home to famous sidecar racing, or "kneeler racing" competitions, and the show follows the endlessly arguing but amazingly similar local team of Yuri and Megami. A bouncy pop soundtrack plays over the high-speed racing, creating a light yet competitive tone that perfectly fits the colored visuals, featuring the same artist/production company as Masamune-kun no Revenge from a few seasons ago. Discord has cropped up between Yuri and Megumi due to their beloved coach leaving for greener courses and the feelings they had for him as he left. The cuts between the high-speed raising and the melancholic, reflective flashbacks does quite well in explaining their movements throughout the race - catching us up to speed, so to speak. The tone of the show comes across perfectly as the episode closes, backed up by the fantastic soundtrack and beautifully done OP and ED. You just feel this show is time spent on an island, split between relaxing and racing. It's wonderfully done. It remains to be seen if this show will echo others like Minami Kamakura and Bakuon and go really into the mechanical aspect of sidecar racing. However, this show is a surprisingly emotionally-based piece where emotions are expressed on the race course - and I'm interested in more.
[ORIG] Animegataris (MAL) Minoa is our orange-haired, ahoge-sporting protag, called out by the school princess Kamiigusa to talk about anime, of all things. Go figure. Coming off the trash that was Gamers last season, the blonde perfect girl actually being a huge nerd is already tiring. Minoa is looking for the name of an anime that moved her as a kid, and to do it suggests to get the anime club back in action, then promptly gets roped into leading it. Her endless optimism isn't original but it's always refreshing, and the use of anime to let Minoa see "more of Kamiigusa's faces" is a bit better than just having the red face of a normally "perfect" girl besmirched by the recognition she likes anime. Also there's a huge-headed cat and a somehow magical beret, which came out of the blue just a bit. We get a sneak peak of the future members, ranging across all archetypes and social cliques, and then the magical beret comes back and the cat now talks. Interested to see where the hell any of that goes, but if this stays more comedy and less Gamers romance-misunderstanding bullshit, I'll be satisfied. Also, both the OP and ED (especially the OP - GARNiDELiA is so good) are great. Some very strange plot choices, especially worrying in an original work, but if they pay off this will be enjoyable. Let's just hope they do.
Mahoutsukai no Yome (MAL) Backing off the slice of life, Mahoutsukai imagines a modern day world intertwined with fantasy - beastmen, magic, and the few humans who can see it - one of them being Chise Hatori, ostracized for her power until she is bought at an auction by a legendary mage, Elias, who aims to make her his apprentice. Chise is actually a "Sleigh Beggy," a rare being that attracts "faries and mysteries," whatever that will eventually entail. Mahoutsukai thus far gives off a kind of Uchouten Kazoku vibe as Chise moves into Elias' tranquil house. An ostensibly normal-looking environment inhabited by mystical beings, and a duality of calmness and turbulent themes below echo Uchouten's politics. The juxtaposition of the forcible buying of Chise versus the welcoming environment she is brought in creates an interesting dynamic that I'm interested in seeing played out. The animation is beautiful, and the small switches to a more chibi style aren't disruptive in the least. Aside from some confusion about the initial setup of the world, if this show becomes a magical slice-of-life with even a fraction of the heart of Uchouten, I'm in.
Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou (MAL) Two girls in old-school fatigues, cruising around a cold, apocalyptic, industrial wasteland. Sounds cool to me. Chito is the collected, tired foil to Yuuri's galavanting, charismatic self. The animation is a bit divergent, in that while the landscapes are detailed in their greyness, the art of the two girls echoes something like Hidamari in its style. While initially strange, it didn't become anything more than just "noticeable." The muscial backdrop is a flowing, airy tone that fits well with the girls having fun praticing shooting or walking around looking for supplies.The music and the attitudes of Chi and Yuu create an atmosphere to the point that doesn't feel like a depressing, sober look at war. Seeing it through the eyes of two children also puts the concepts of war and conflict in eerily simple terms, providing a new look at a concept done to death, so to speak. There's a strangely relaxed feel despite the landscape and color scheme. It remains to be seen if this will go the route of Made in Abyss, especially with an out of place scene at the end of the episode, but while MiA was fucking phenomenal, I could do with less bawling two seasons in a row. This is a strange one, but the simple story of Chi and Yuu trudging across the snowy landscape is appealing.
Konohana Kitan (MAL) Cute fox girls working at a traditional Japanese hot spring hotel? I'm in. Yuzu is the nervous newbie, Kiri is the charismatic head attendant, Natsume is spunky and atheletic, Satsuki is responsible to a fault, Ren is the doll-like one whose personality doesn't match her cute exterior, and there's the diminutive, quiet Sakura. The personalities of the girls are varied and interplay nicely, and I look forward to seeing how Yuzu fits in. Moreover, the art is fantastic. The character designs echo perfectly the individual personalities, and the landscapes of cherry blossoms are stunning. I personally love the traditional Japanese aesthetic the inn and surrounding town embody, and it obviously fits well with the fact that the girls are all kitsunes. Konohana seems to me like a slightly less energetic/comedic Urara Meirochou, which is a good thing. The aesthetic is great, the girls are cute - this is a show for healing, and I need it.
Blend-S (MAL) Maika, a perpetual job hunter with her naturally scary eyes, finds her home at a cafe where all the waitresses are archetypes, as the sadistic one. Blend-S is almost like a more overt version of the varied personalities in Working!, with all comedy and less romance. I quite like the juxtaposition of the girls' normal personalities when talking to each other and their work personalities (especially when the line blurs). While usually its a cute girl who's actually evil or something and used as boring shock value, being the point of the show pivots the concept into a new way I enjoy. Even moreso, Maika especially has plenty of quirks that bely her role as the "normal" main character. The art is clean and sharp, and the girls have great character designs - I really like the facial designs. The OP, by the VAs (which is always a plus), is fantastic both in design and music, and compliments the more relaxed ED (which is also by the VAs). Overall, this show is friendly and the girls are cute. Sounds good to me.
Boku no Kanojo ga Majimesugiru Sho-bitch na Ken (MAL) Adaptations with stock character protagonists and plenty of overt fanservice.  Yay. I'm amazed this isn't from an LN, because it is exactly that kind of show. Shobitch begins with our MC Shinozaki confessing to Kosaka, which she accepts. Then she learns "how to be a good girlfriend," which far more often than not involves plenty of fanservice. Also, despite him having a girlfriend, there's a whole variety of other girls interested in him - the childhood friend and imouto get ticked off the list int he first six minutes. On the bright side, the art is great. Character designs aside from the protag are varied and well-drawn. Kosaka's earnestness with which she wants to be a good girlfriend is endearing in itself, but the 100% focus on sexual themes is just a bit tiring. Sort of like how Kuzu no Honkai went from seriously emotional to reducing any character motivation to "the only way I can be loved is physically." Regardless, you know exactly what you're getting into with a title like this show. There are some genuine emotional moments, but they are few and very far between. Otherwise, Shobitch is a well-drawn yet bland ecchi definitely-not-LN adaptation.
Inuyashiki (MAL) Last but not least, adding to the limited action slate I'm watching this season, we have Inuyashiki. Inuyashiki is, for lack of a better term, strange. It begins with nearly all CG, but then transitions to a mix of normal animation and CG for the rest of the episode. The first half of episode one is one of the most solemn, depressing sequences I've seen, and that's blown away by a whirlwind of aliens, body-swapping, and mechanical bodies. While the tonal shift is quite jarring, the change wasn't anything completely incomprehensible. The problem will be where this will go, now that Ichiro, our man with months to live, is now equipped with alien technology. I'm hoping that within the mix of action there will be a sense that Ichiro, now unshackled by sickness, can make concrete steps to make his life better. While the action shots were nice-looking, and the CG actually doesn't look half bad, with how emotionally powerful the first half of episode one is I want to see more of that as well. Either way, Inuyashiki has my attention, and I'm eager to see where Ichiro goes.

How to Handle a Nico: Minding  Flames
Primary Pairing: NicoMaki Words: ~1k Rating: K Time Frame: Shortly after the events of the movie. Story Arc: "Final Photoshoot" Last Photoshoot Minding Flames Another Moment (Related scenes listed in Notes)
List of all HtHaN scenes
Author’s Note: A followup to Last Photoshoot as it takes place during the same shoot.
Nico adjusted the oversized bow on the tie that went with her outfit. It was the first outfit she had worn with her subgroup, BiBi, and looking at her reflection brought memories from the past months with them. And this was likely their last photoshoot together, though not just BiBi, µ’s as well. Nico’s last photoshoot with the group that dragged her out of her funk and let her shine alongside them. Nico’s last photoshoot with her…
Nico choked down a bit of bitterness. Now was not the time. There had been a lot of lasts in the recent days and she would get through this one just as she had the others.
Quickly, she turned her head from side to side, checking the ribbons in her twin tails before quickly flashing a smile and her signature gesture. She wasn’t feeling it one hundred percent, but what she saw in the mirror was good enough to fool most, possibly even the nosy Nozomi.
She stepped out of the dressing room and…
“Kyaaa!” a voice cried as Nico collided with someone.
“Gah! Sorry, Maki-chan!” the twintailed girl apologized, not needing to see her to know who it was. Still, she turned towards… by the gods, she had forgotten how good that dress looked on the redhead. The gold chains off the shoulder, the choker, the black and red bow in her hair with the black rose in the center; it all worked together to make her look amazing. But then, if Nico was being completely honest with herself, she believed the younger girl could wear a burlap sack and still look good.
“Nico-chan?”
Nico blinked back to reality. “Sorry, Maki-chan.”
“You said that already. And… I’m sorry as well. I… wasn’t paying attention to where I was going.” Maki’s eyes didn’t seem to be able to find a point to settle. Was she… checking Nico out?
Well, either way, it was the boost Nico needed to bury her melancholy for a moment. “Is Nico-nii’s charm too distracting, Maki-chan?” She asked in a syrupy sweet voice and she struck a pose.
“W-what was that?” Maki’s gaze snapped up to meet Nico’s. “I don’t get it.”
“This dress really is cute on Nico, isn’t it?” the twintailed girl changed her pose. “It’s almost unfair because Nico is already so~ amazingly cute.”
“Gross…”
“What?!” Nico retorted as her voice returned to normal. “How could you say that? And here Nico was just about to compliment Maki-chan on her dress!”
“You were?” Maki raised a skeptical eyebrow.
“Of course! I was going to say that Maki-chan’s outfit suits her well! But now I’ve thought better of it.” Nico smirked. “Then again, maybe I should say it anyway because the color of that rose matches the color of Maki’s heart!”
A throaty growl escaped through Maki’s sneer and she was about to rebut when Eli poked her head around the corner.
“Nico, Maki.” The blonde said motioning for them follow. “The photographer is ready for us. Quit flirting and get over here.”
“We’re not flirting!” The two protested in unison before glaring at each other.
“Who would want to flirt with her anyway?” Maki added, practically stomping towards Eli.
“Says the girl who was hugging me, oh so tightly, during the group photo.” Nico grumbled.
“What?”
“Nico’s got a point, Maki.” Eli pointed out.
“Bueehhh?” the first year balked.
“Ha!” Nico pointed at her junior.
“But you weren’t exactly resisting.” The former student body president added.
“Well that’s obviously because…” Nico trailed off. Because I liked it… Maybe we were flirting?
Wait, did Maki even know how to flirt? Sure the redhead had her rare moments of being somewhat affectionate, but that could be done unconsciously. Flirting required something more… something more… flirty…? Nico shook her head as her mind failed to wrap itself around the concept of a flirty Maki.
“Because…?” Eli repeated the last word the raven-haired girl had said.
“Ah, there you are.” The photographer looked up from the camera she was adjusting. “We have a couple of different ideas for poses already, but feel free to make suggestions if you have ideas as well.”
“Thank you, we will.” Eli replied with a nod.
Almost a half hour later, Nico found herself sitting in front of a kneeling Maki while Eli stooped nearby. She had been sitting in the same position for a little too long and needed to adjust. However, in doing so, her head bumped into the girl behind her.
“Oops, sorry, Maki-chan.” Nico apologized to the girl hovering above her.
Maki didn’t reply verbally, but a moment later, arms clad in sheer fabric wrapped around Nico’s shoulders.
“Maki-chan?” Nico questioned, feeling her muscles tighten as she realized the nature of the softness that pressed against her shoulder blades.
“Oh, good idea, Nishikino-san.” The photographer called. “Relax more, Yazawa-san, you’re too tense.”
“Uhm, alright…” Nico willed herself to calm down.
“Excellent.” The woman raised her camera again and started shooting.
Nico felt another softness settle behind her temple.
“I’m sorry, too, Nico-chan.” A voice whispered, breath wafting gently over Nico’s ear and sending electricity through her body.
By the gods, was Maki doing this on purpose? This embrace felt completely different from the group picture. Was Maki actually flirting? Had Nico been wrong in her assumptions about her underclassman?
Nico’s mind was burning through thoughts like a hard luck gambler through chips and it was taking almost every ounce of her conscious effort to continue to appear relaxed. She turned her head ever so slightly and realized she could just make out the younger girl’s heartbeat; a steady rhythm in sharp contrast with her own. Maki was calm. She likely didn’t notice the effect she was having on Nico.
Just go with it. Just like with the group shot. If Maki wants to hug you, let her hug you. It was a deceptively simple solution for the strange juxtaposition of Maki acting on her whims and Nico wanting to run away. Embrace it… pun intended?
Nico took a slow breath and released it, barely registering that the photographer spoke and Eli shifted her position. Placing a hand on Maki’s arm, she finally let herself relax into the embrace. The warmth really was quite comforting. No matter how many times Maki hugged her, Nico doubted she would tire of it and two in one day was unprecedented. She prayed to whatever deity would listen that this wouldn’t be the last.
“Perfect.” The photographer said as another shot was taken.
Author’s Notes Continued: When I write scenes like this, I can’t help but wonder if I made the references obvious enough or if I should point them out.
Anyway, this scene was primarily inspired by an old post I found here at the end of last year. I knew I would want to write about it eventually, so I bookmarked it. Obviously, I’ve now written one of them, but I’m still at a wall with the other; primarily about where it should be in the HtHaN timeline, as it will affect what might be referenced, as well as how some refer to one another.
And on the off chance it wasn’t obvious enough what photo is being taken in this scene, it’s this one:
Tumblr media
(Yes, I realize that is for Sakkaku Crossroads, but I cannot find a better resolution for the right one.)
