Revue starlight fans what revue starlight media is there and what order do I watch it in Reddit will not give me a straight answer. I’m watching the anime right now (I’m on episode 10!), but I’ve seen one mutual post live action stuff and I think there’s a movie? What do.

Mahiru beating a hard level in Epic of Bravery for her siblings, 2010s

i appreciate the people who share the stories in starira because i'm gonna be honest with you i do not feel like playing that gacha game ever again.

Starira Weapon Name Ratings...2!

mostly bc my opinions have shifted a little after 3.5 years and to add in seiran and the carseats. also bc ppl have been reblogging the og one so.

*these’ll all be based on their 2star cards in starira, excluding seiran which will be based on the Starlight Gallery display

SEISHO

Karen: Possibility of Youth. Basically Karen’s childhood promise to Hikari and Karen’s limitless potential wrt that stage. I think she’s outgrown it a bit now, tho she is still young. What possibilities will she bring Now after her goal has been met? 6/10 Hikari: Blossom Bright. Has to make her brilliance bloom again after losing it. And shows how she CAN regrow and regain her brilliance and i Like it A Lot in ways I can’t quite articulate. 8/10 Mahiru: Love Judgement. Judging with Love. which honestly Mahiru does very a lot. I feel like most of Mahiru’s active Judging is firm and hard hitting. She wants what’s best for you and sometimes that’s scaring the shit out of you. With Love. Honestly fits her very very well imo. 10/10

Claudine: Etincelle de Fierte. Spark of Pride. I think claudine has more than just a Spark of Pride lmao. in french bc ofc it is. gets points taken away bc French. 4/10 Maya: Odette the Mavericks. So FUcking SILLY and honestly so fucking Maya. Got ur Swan Lake reference for Maya’s swan motif and ofc her Attitude of being Above the Rest and bending the stage to Her Will, not conforming herself to it. HOnestly it’s very fitting but GOD. It’s so STUPID. 6/10 Junna: Jade Bow. Boring. Junna you’re gifted with words and you couldn’t come up with a better name. You have different glasses for different moods and I bet you have ‘named’ them by those moods but all you can name ur bow is. Jade Bow. 1/10 Nana: Rondo. Symbolic of how Nana time loops herself, and generally dances around the others in terms of skill. But also she can’t break out of the cycle she’s put herself in, always falling back into it. it’s a bit bland tho. 7/10 Futaba: Determinater.  Girl is gonna Hack her Way Into Being As Good as Kaoruko and You Can’t Stop Her. Very fitting for someone who never intended to go into performing tbh. She won’t Lose even if she didn’t originally Choose to be here. 7.5/10 Kaoruko: Daffodil. I mean flowers Are part of her whole schtick, but i feel like daffodil is an odd choice. I do suppose they could look like stars though? It’s also very simple for Kaoruko. Though for all of Kaoruko’s bluster and whining, she is very straightforward when she’s serious. Hmmm 5/10

bonus Sakura: Sakura Shield’s Beauty. beanie baby. honestly idk it’s not that exciting. she’s not an actor tho so i’ll let it slide. prob has something to do with her big sis Koharu. 3/10

RINMEIKAN

Tamao: Scattering of Petals. Gonna fuck Kaoruko Up. Blood Splatter Symbolism. The moment of Death and goodbye. Also a display of Romance. Honestly Much more resonant now than at the beginning. 10/10 honestly i love it. Ichie: Ichie’s Fan. BORING. ICHIE YOU ARE A LET DOWN. -100/10 Fumi: Kingfisher. a type of blade meant to break other swords. which i suppose is why she can’t beat Akira. akira’s got a big ol’ jousting lance. She DID break a big promise to Shiori, who wields a sword. so Asshole. Asshole who was fishin to be king and failed. loser. fitting tho 9/10 Rui: Shooting Star. You know, I gotta respect Rui for being the most Straightforward with her weapon name. SHe’s already a fuckin star people are watching shoot by. For all the top star symbolism, i HAVE to commend the shyest baby with stage fright for just Claiming Immediately that she’s a Shooting Star. 11/10 Yuyuko: Yumin Rinmeitei. dunno what it means. Probably something related to rakugo. Has part of rinmeikan in the name so points for school spirit. also Actually Sounds Like a Name. 8/10

FRONTIER

Aruru: Heavenmaker. honestly still 100% the coolest name here. Gonna make everyone a star shooting into the heavens. Will make a heaven for herself and her family. 100/10 Misora: Wild Punch. Honestly makes 0 sense you have a SPEAR, Misora. you cannot Punch with a SPEAR. However the idea of her fighting with the spear and then just sucker punching you when you get too close is hilarious. I’ll add a point for that. 4/10 Lalafin: One Millionth. Sounds like she’s only using one millionth of her true power. a very Hero Show sounding name. Do I Understand it? No. Must I give her points for being true to herself. yes. 6/10 Tsukasa: Dust Devil. Very frontier sounding. Also her choosing to ditch her strict japanese upbringing for masquerading as a gyaru for the funsies. Disguisin herself in the dust. idk it sounds cool and i like it 8/10 Shizuha: Unicorn Maiden. once again a VERY. SILLY. NAME. BUT DO I LOVE IT? YES. It’s such a weird name and i suppose as like frontiers first ‘star’/face she does have to appear to be the perfect rep. But also with her scythe, and unicorns horn,  she’s got that Edgy Evil Side to her. nerd. also what is a scythe but a very pointy stick horse. stick unicorn. 8/10

SEATBELT EDELS

Akira: Platinlanze. Platinum Lance. Even more boring than Junna’s Jade Bow, because at least junna’s image color isn’t jade. no imagination 0/10 Michiru: Saphir Bestrafung. Sapphire Punishment. Very Fitting for the secret manipulator of the edels. you Will do as she says, Akira. well mostly. she scary. prob the best of the edel names tho. 6/10 Mei Fan: Rubin Hellebarde. Ruby Halberd. girl your spear isn’t even a halberd. what are you doing. this is even worse than Misora’s Wild Punch. 2/10 Shiori: Jade Angriff. Jade Attack. thank god it’s not jade sword. angriff also sounds like angry so. Shiori WILL attac. and i love her for that. Despite being the baby and the softest-spoken edel. Go nuts and call Fumi out. You deserve it baby girl. 8/10 for the vibes Yachiyo: Perlenpfeil. Pearl Arrow. gets points for not SOUNDING like Pearl Arrow, removes points for just being her image color and weapon. 3/10

CARSEATS

Stella: Anastrophe. defintion: inversion of the normal order of words for rhetorical effect. ex ‘the greatest teacher, failure is’-Yoda. usin that example since it’s pretty relevant to Stella’s story of just clamming up on stage. Also since she’s the founders granddaughter but didn’t grow up at Seigfeld. Honestly a cool name 9/10 Shiro: Schnee & Glockchen. most likely a reference to the waltz. also a name for snowdrops, the flower. listenin to the waltz i do feel like it’s very stella/shiro relationship vibes. Also like, bonus points for naming it after classical music i think that’s cool. plus it sounds cool. 11/10 Ryoko: Wild Chaser. Are you related to Misora, Ryoko. i suppose you both have a lotta siblings. But also kinda brings to mind the idea of someone struggling to catch up to the rest of a group with a single-minded determination, which suits Ryoko very well. 8/10 Minku: Circle of Connect. i mean u sure do have a circle weapon Minku. she’s also the one who kinda ties herself and Kuina to the other three. since Kuina’s pretty aloof to their more fun shenanigans thus far. also brings to mind friendship bracelets and that’s very Minku. awkwardly phrased tho. 6/10 Kuina: Swear by Heaven and Earth. VERY related to her and Minku’s promise atop Mt. Fuji. Straightforward, serious, but also deeply sentimental and i like that a lot. it’s fuckin cool. 15/10

SEIRAN

Koharu: Rosso Primavera. Red Spring. aw that’s kind of a mix of koharu’s image color and when sakura blossom’s bloom for her little sister. that’s cute. also Italian for seiran apparently. Also kind of like new beginnings but the redness is more intense than sakura pink, which could relate to koharu’s inability to chill. it doesnt really bring to mind koharu tho. 6/10 Suzu: Verde Vento. Green Wind. lame. i mean she is green. and she sure is full of hot air. and ties to the summer sky drama between her an mahiru. and alliteration is nice. 6/10 Hisame: Giallo Ghiaccio.  Yellow Ice. oh honey i know you’re yellow and your name means ice-rain and you and nana’s drama was in winter but- what an unfortunate name. you’ve added color to the cold past prob also related to nana’s hair n warmth but god its just. Unfortunate. the alliteration is also nice, and at least you can’t really tell what it Means beyond probably yellow. 5/10 if you don’t know what it means, 2/10 if you do.

wanted to try making enamel pin designs for the revstar girls! (i may have forgotten what the french flag looks like until way too far into this. we're gonna ignore it for now just pretend it's not there 😭)

So apparently Futaba, Mahiru, and Nana are the only ones who haven't done professional theatre work before coming to Seisho... We need to have a fic where the gang marathons each others' embarrassing child acting stints.

Claudine has lost count of how many commercials she did as a kid. She regrets doing this marathon approximately 24 hours later, when her friends won't stop singing commercial jingles in broken French.

Maya: "Oh, Arrie? I have the limited platinum edition with two discs of bonus features, we can watch that"

Claudine: "Please tell me you didn't just spend $50 on a dvd because you found out I was in it."

Maya: "No, I've had it since I was 12 years old. My childhood dream was to marry Arrie :)"

Junna: "wow I did not know it was possible for her face to get that red"

Once they get past the slough of commercials (and Arrie), watching the rest of Claudine and Maya's performances is fun for exactly no one save Claudine and Maya themselves. See, these two have (coincidentally! No, really!) acted in a lot of the same roles, and cannot resist using this rewatch to stoke their rivalry.

The gang is fucking floored to see that Dignified Class President Hoshimi Junna has her face plastered all over a glasses ad (this is canon)

She's not even ashamed. They give her a discount on all nine of the new frames she buys yearly.

(Junna doesn't even need different glasses for reading/distance or anything like that. She just has to make her glasses frame align with The Vibes of the day.)

At long last, Kaoruko is on the recieving end of embarassment. Don't forget, she's actually pretty shy! She would be hiding her face in her hands when her friends start talking about how cute baby Kao is with her teeny little fans.

Hikari puts in her footage. It's an unmarked dvd. The screen blazes to life to show that she was apparently frontlining an idol group, and a not obscure one if the size of the crowd is anything to go by. As the footage continues, the gang is in shock as they realize they've heard this song.

Kaorkuo: "Hikari what the fuck why didn't you tell us you were Stella~⭐!?"

Hikari: "it never came up."
