Messy theory/rant on Sparkle based on her Myriad Celestia trailer
Sparkle’s trailer is very interesting, partially because we can’t rely on it to be accurate due to Sparkle being an unreliable narrator, but because the potential implications reveal so much about her.
The trailer sets her up as a puppet master of sorts. Obviously not in the more literary sense where she’s the manipulator behind Penacony’s events or whatever, but in a more literal sense. From her/Black Swan’s story quest it’s apparent she has an affinity for showmanship and drama, but it’s significantly more interesting to imagine that she’s placed herself as the star of various ‘shows.’
Not to mention on the off chance what we see in the video is somewhat true, then Sparkle’s slightly cringe inducing Joker references start to stack up.
The trailer implies that she was a famous actress in HSR Japan, who played Sparkle, the character. Her mask seems to be ‘Sparkle’ and at first the mask copies what she does.
As time goes on the mask amplifies her acted emotions, before completely shifting to mock whatever emotion she may be acting or feeling.
(Side note: if her mask was a Masked Fool’s mask from the start, then there’s some possible implication that it could contain Aha’s power and therefore corrupt the wearer but that’s based off a gut feeling combined with the implication from Sampo that the mask seems to have powers attached to it)
One, it’s very much giving Nahida’s teaser. Two, it seems like constantly putting on an act drove Sparkle, the persona/mask, to latch onto Sparkle, the person. My guess is that she was a theatre actor (based off the stage and audience we see) and as theatre actors do, they repeat the same performance over and over and over until the run of their show ends.
It’s possible that due to her popularity, Sparkle’s show kept on getting extended to the point where she was performing the exact same play every day. I don’t know about you but that would definitely drive me insane and bored.
Due to that it’s possible that because of a combination of a psychic break and sheer boredom due to monotony, she ended up leaving the show, becoming a Masked Fool, and seeking her own elation. This also comes back to her being a puppet master, and from going from an actress to the director. If I’m even slightly right, this explain why she gets so mad when her stories get out of her control.
Finally, the single line in the trailer where she mentions that ‘the world is just a stage’ explains why she’s so cruel to others and purely focused on her happiness alone without regard for others.
If all the world’s a stage, then the people are just characters. Characters are there to serve the plot, and whatever tragedies befall them is just how the story goes.
Edit: seems I was slightly right? Sparkle was a character to begin with and at some point the person playing Sparkle became Sparkle.

Currently watching - December
Because I love a good little list 😊
Regularly updated during the month, latest update 30.12.2022, colored = finished
This may contain spoilers!
I am sorry if you can't open the links on mobile!
The director who buys me dinner (6/10 on iQiyi)
I read the webseries and I loved it! So no pressure Korea 😅 But I did enjoy the first two episodes. It is funny and I had some really good laughts! It has an interesting story, if they keep up with the original. I am really looking forward to the next episodes.
Never Let Me Go (3/12 on Youtube)
The tension between the two mains is definitely there and noticeable. I already love the little shimmers of jealousy and the fact that it was love at first sight. I really enjoy their story and the plot around them. Nice show to watch.
Ameiro Paradox (2/8 on Viki and Gaga)
An enemies to lovers story with journalists and cute smiles? Count me in.
A man who defies the world of BL (2/4 on Gaga)
A man who tries to avoid the world of BL, in which he lives, by reading Yaoi mangas to get to know all the tropes he has to avoid in order to not get involved with the world as a main character. It is hilarious and makes fun of not just the viewers, but of the industrie itself. Really good so far.
The New Employee (2/8 on Viki)
I just finished reading the manhwa and I loved it. Now I am curious how it is realized. The first episode was good, just as I expected and Moon Ji Yong is quite an excellent cast for the role of Seung Hyun.
War of Y (10/20 on Gaga)
I finally watched the next chapter...And yeah, I think I can't watch the stories week for week. I need to wait until one chapter is closed and binge the five episodes. This is one of the few bls I watch with a lot of tension in my body and no smile on my lips...I need to calm a bit before I can dive into the next drama...
Between Us (8/12 on Youtube)
I like it, but I am not super hyped about it. I liek their connection and that both are not perfect, but perfect for each other in their own way.
Love Bill (8/10 on Youtube)
A vietnamese drama about a young man falling in love with a screenwriter. Well, of course there are some other things happening in between, but this is the heart of the story. Our boy Nguyễn Bá Vinh is doing a great job! I really enjoy this drama so far.
Till the World ends (9/10 on Youtube)
It is something else. Kind of brutal and gory and a little bit explicit. Not your usual bl. I like it, no wonder 😅 The end of the world is coming and Art and Golf try to survive the last days on this chaotic planet, to get to the safety of the last bunker which lets people in, chased by some lunatics with a special taste in meat...and with ep 8 we finally got the long-awaited kiss and damn they delivered!
My School President (4/10 on Youtube)
Set in highschool we meet Tinn (the school president) and Gun (head of the music club). Tinn has a huge crush on Gun and Gun sees in Tinn the enemy who is standing between the success of his music club and the win of the Hot Wave Music Contest. The plot is predictable, but sometimes you just need a good old high school bl without the deep drama. I enjoyed this series so much. And the music is so good!!!
HIStory 5: Love in the future (1/20 on Viki)
Hm. This was kind of meh. I hope it is to early to judge and it will get better! Right now the story is a little bit...confusing. I hope for a little bit explaination or at least some help from the magical figure.
To Sir, with love (2/17 on Youtube)
Okay, it is finished by now and I looked up for spoilers. I didn’t have the emotional strength to watch it til now. But I will give it a try soon, because the first two episodes were really good!
Remember Me (12/14 on Gaga)
Okay what happend? I am emotional invested in this story! Why did it become so good within two episodes? I love the domesticity and the wholesomeness of the third episode so much! It touched me and moved me and now I am looking forward to the next episode! And the next episode was good too. I love Em and Name! Don’t hurt them, especially Name! JUST STOP HURTING NAME!!! This hurts so bad!
2 Moons: The Ambassador (10/12 on Youtube)
It is just bad.
I will knock you (1/12 on Youtube)
So Thi steps on the Lotus of Noey which is symbolic for his heart and now Noey wants his heart back so he can give it to the girl he has a crush on and Thi can't find it and gives him in exchange a charm for fortune, but in reality it is for love and soulmates...And Noey happens to be the leader of a gang which members wear khaki-shorts or way too colorful dresses for a street gang...the cringe radar is very strong with this one, but it is hilarious!
Something in my room (3/10 on Youtube)
I saw people talking about this one and how good it is. Well, it is quite okay. I guess it will get a little bit deeper with more episodes, but I haven’t had the time to watch more.
Finished in December
Series
Choco Milk Shake (11/11 on Youtube) - perfect recommandation score
Well, I love this one with my whole heart. On the one side it is light and comforting and the acting is on point and on the other hand it deals with grief and what happiness can be. The biggest message would be to love with your whole heart and live life to the fullest. Carpe Diem if you will call it that. You don't know how much time you might have left in the end, so cherish every second with what brings you joy and makes you happy. Choko and Milk made me really happy. The story was unusual and it is not explained why they could come back again just as they wish, but to be true, I don't care. I want them all to be happy! 10 out of 10 choco milk shakes
Happy Ending Outside The Fence (Happy Ending Romance) (on Gaga) - highest recommandation
This one was so good. The pasting was nice. The story itself is very complex. In the end Junghyun was the right person for Jungwoo when he needed to hide, to suffer and to feel the pain. But Jungwoo doesn't want to be this fragile, this hurt forever. He wants to go outside and live and that is when he meets Taeyoung. A literal ray of sunshine and he is exactly what Jungwoo needs to see the beauty in life again and to finally believe in himself again and lets face it, to say fuck you to all the haters and just don't give a fuck about what other people will think. The story and the complex relationships moved me deeply. It is a very mature story and so are the relationships built. Nothing is easy, but stagnation is no help in the end. 9,5 out of 10 manuscripts
Eien No Kino (8/8 on Gaga) - highly recommended
The aesthetics of this one is so beautiful. The story itself about a young love that is so strong that the one who dies can't leave this world because and comes back as a living corpse is both, unique and tragically beautiful. It broke my heart, especially the talk between Mitsuru and his father. The ending didn't wreck me the way I feared it would, because it was overall a great ending for their situation. 9 out of 10 loves at first sight
His - Koisuru Tsumori Nante Nakatta (5/5 on Viki) - highly recommended
Oh this was beautiful. The amount of thought that was put into this piece of media is amazing. I liked the dialogues and the dealing with coming out and the difficulties for lgbtq+ people in Japan and first loves and so much more in five fucking episodes. I wish there were more! Really good! 9 out of 10 surfboards
My Tooth Your Love (on Viki) - recommended without a doubt
I guess this could be called a nightmare for people with a fear for dentists. It is a slow burn, but when the fire was lit it was burning with a cozy and constant heat. I like Bai Langs and Jin Xun Ans story. And I must admit the last few minutes killed my cold heart with all the fluff and domesticity. As for Alex and RJ I wish we could have had a real reveal of their emotions. But it was a cozy last episode. 8,5 out of 10 plushies
Oh! My Assistant (8/8 on Viki) - totally recommended
This was funny and fluffy and cringy and lovely and I am in love with it! I don't know what it is exactly, but it brings me so much joy and a really good laugh! Even the fall-on-you-by-accident is just funny and predictable. The bi-awakening of the main is so simple and rational and I love this series for it. 8,5 out of 10 sexy drawings
Nitiman (10/10 on Youtube) - yeah sure, why not recommending
I read a review which said nothing happend in this series...and they were correct. The conflicts most of the times results in misscommunication or not communicating at all. What it is about? Well, college boy A likes college boy B and hits on him. They become friends and college boy B falls for college boy A. Some jealousy and some weird get-togethers of their friends to make a plan to get those two together. And college boy A and college boy B become secret boyfriends before going official. And you know what? I like it! It is just the right show to watch on a cold sunday afternoon to warm your heart. 8 out of 10 dumb reasons to get jealous
Ai Long Nhai (12/12 on Youtube) - recommended only if you want to laugh and love a slow death
Ai likes Nhai. Nhai likes Ai. They test a possible relationship. It works, they have a relationship and nothing more happens, okay yes, after knowing each other for like ten minutes, Ai asks Nhai in the last five minutes if he wants to marry him...Why? Just why? And I know, I said nothing happens in Nitiman, too, BUT! Nitiman has a decend acting, kind of likable characters and charisma, but this mess? I dont know...The story is flat and bland, the acting is not good in my opinion and I can't see the chemistry between the main couple for most of the times. The subtitles were one thing that made this whole experience funny. 4 out of 10 yellow ducks
Short films
Summerdaze Christmas together - recommended
This was a cute one. And a special chistmas episode? It is in my nature to love it. But it is really very cute and cozy. 8 out of 10 cozyness
Summerdaze (youtube) - recommended
It is so short! nd there is no dialogue. And yet the short film managed to tell a story. I am amazed. It is more of a trailer for a bigger project and we got a christmas special this year, which is so cute. Just have a look. 8 out of 10 good story telling
Movies
Sematic Error: The Movie (on Viki) - highest possible grade of recommandation
Well I rewatched the series a few days ago and now just watched this three hour long movie. There were only a few new scence, but I don't care. Every minute spent watching it was worth my time! I just love Semantic Error 💗 10 out of 10 gorgeous red outfits
rec (on Gaga) - recommended for the different type of view
Well, don't judge a book by its cover. I have to admit, that I needed to start this one for a second try. At first I was deterred by the way it was shot. The shaky cam and the amateur like filming was difficult to get used to. But I got used to it. I started to dislike Song Young Jun. He was a little bit too loud and too annoying. And I really thought, that they would break up, because his partner was annoyed by him. But they loved each other, dearly. And this movie can break your heart. It is deep and political and sad and yes, the nudity was part of this whole scheme of two people being vulnerable with each other, but not honest. It hurts. This movie hurts. 7,5 out of 10 beach scenes
What I’m looking forward to in December:
Oh! My Assistant (Dec 1)
My School President (Dec 2)
The Third Solar Term (Dec 5)
Lockdown (Dec 7)
Midnight Tod (Dec 12)
Never Let Me Go (Dec 13)
The Director Who Buys Me Dinner (Dec 15)
Ameiro Paradox (Dec 16)
The New Employee (Dec 21)
HIStory5: Love in the Future (Dec 28)
Sin (Dec 28)

Every time a good anime/manga with a really unique and stylized look comes out, everyone tries to hype it up by being like “yeah the art style is really weird and ugly, but the plot and action are top notch!!” And it’s like. My god you guys are so boring. Like it would be one thing if all the shows people said this stuff abt actually looked super ugly but like. Most of the time it’s a very nice looking and not even that weird?? Some of them can even look pretty generic. And I feel like these people aren’t appreciating how well thought out a lot of the art direction in the stylized stuff is. They just see something that’s different from what they’re used to and go “oh my god! It’s ugly.”
