#ASCANA

[ai-no-tsuki]

another day of me being sad for the following reasons

ascana discontinued

none of ascana's songs are on spotify so I have to listen to them on youtube and soundcloud and I can't add them to my idol series playlist

somehow aiyuu still isn't canon

we haven't had a new lipxlip song/MV for over 3 months (otouto ni wa himitsu and hahaoyatte don't count because they're individual songs)

ascana discontinued

ok now that I'm more awake...is that person in the magazine....

...Kanata???

[yume-fanfare]

I just actually watched and paid attention to the heroine tarumono mv and. is that entire plot seriously that Hiyori has a meet-cute with some guy then Aizou and Yuujiro go shopping and to the hairsalon with her and keep arguing who pays for her and all the time they didn't know that was for a?? date???? is that what that was??? and then when she's supposed to meet with the guy they wait in bushes (completely normal behaviour) and the second they see she's with some dude both of them jump out and act jealous?????

is there a context????? are they just veto-ing and being posessive for the sake of it or?????? what is even happening

heroine training plan my beloved!!! it is so funny the context is just as dumb kinda

ksjfskdjsmdnks so. they did know it was a date, unlike in the anime. the song is titled heroine training plan because they wanted to turn her into a heroine so her date would go well

however, that guy is asuka, from ascana, and he is also an idol!

so LIPxLIP, petty as they are, had already picked a fight with them previously. if i remember correctly, they both shared a training room for a while and at one point kanata (brunet) tackled aizou to the ground because he felt like it (he was practicing his shining special kanata turn), then aizou threw his water bottle at him and it hit yuujirou, who got a nosebleed. disaster.

so, in summary, LIPxLIP saw the guy and went "THAT'S THE FUCKING ENEMY YOU ARE NOT GOING TO DATE THAT GUY."

(in the end, asuka politely rejected her regardless because he wanted to focus on his idol activities and hiyori promised she'd support him)

hello it is i i come to clog ur inbox again hope its no issue... THANK U FOR TELLIN ME ABOUT HANIWA IT WASN'T LENGHTY AT ALL it actually left me wanting to know more !!! could u tell me about the idol series......

HIII WELCOME BACK !! im always happy to talk abt haniwa i vibrate ever time i talk abt it yahay!! LETS GET DOWN TO IT THEN !!

the idol series is a branch of honeyworks' confession executive committee, which as opposed to the large majority of their songs that centered on familiar shoujo manga struggles such as love, crushes, terminal illness, talking flowers, and of course, what happens when your crush moves to USA bc he was too stupid to confess — ANYWAY. idol series deals with the struggles and sufferings of idols in the entertainment industry, as well as the relationships they form in and out of their jobs !

idol series primarily centers on lipxlip ! which if you have ever seen me or spoke to me you must be fully aware im not very normal about them and just Talking abt them is one whole post itself so lets just jump over that. pyon~~!

lipxlip are the introductory characters into idol series, with one of its members, aizo, having a branch in the love series through his brother, ken. this shows that both serie are inherently connected and are simply separated by heteronormativity super silly things!

idol series also includes hiyori, lipxlip's manager and classmate who has since earned her own spot as a main character in love series with her own love story with shiranami nagisa — as well as other idols !!

mona is an angel-themed idol who is also the sister of sena narumi, a love series character and partner of midori takamine AND an in-universe media personality !

minami started as a collaboration character with y!mobile where he was introduced as the love interest of nakuru in bae love, and they have since canonized their relationship in ren'ai thru kareshi no shikaku !

another pair of idols are asuka kaido and kanata ichigoya, otherwise known as ASCANA! theyre part of the virtual johnny's project and asuka was a temporary potential love interest for hiyori up until his rejection of her in heroine ikusei keikaku (heroine development plan) . unfortunately, ascana has probably been discontinued bc their seiyuus are part of a much bigger musical group !

last and very expansive idol group (ish) in idol series is full throttle4 ! sometimes abbreviated as ft4, their members go by stage names in english characters. unlike the others, theyre not actually idols ! theyre a music and dance group with their manager as their DJ and leader, IV! rio and yui serve as the vocals while megu and dai are dancers!

note abt ft4 is that their songs tend to deal with heavy subject matter and their theme in itself is much darker than mona's angels or lipxlip's princes, but they have some incredibly interesting stories ^_^

idol series has various other characters from different media and stories: an example is chizuru nakamura or chuutan, the infamous main character of kawaikute gomen and a diehard lipxlip fan ! there's also asuna, mona's rival idol who has done some... cruel things to mona in the watashi idol sengen manga. additionally, various characters voiced by amatsuki often play the role of mona fans, like kobayashi from getsuyoubi no yuutsu! there are more and more but at this point this ask is. Too long already. IM SORRY

i hope this helps!! its 2 am and i needed this out of my system so im answering a bit fast i hope u dont mind 😭

[iqmmir]

I love all haniwa idols equally<333 there's narumi mona and minami! And dolce :] and asuna and shiba.. um looks at smidged handwriting* shibasaki aizou and um. So? Someone yujiro! And a.. asca.. um ascana :]

Art of my oldest characters in their most recent incarnations

I originally planned on making this into a comic as well...and will still do so in the future.

The characters, in order of the sheet at the top, are

Laurel Aeon, a Felis (basically a cat person but more...tough? I guess? They harness primal energy so yeah) who has a timid temperament and wields a sacred weapon. She conceals herself to blend in with humans, so as not to be hunted. Few know what she really is.

Erin Cadiuex, a human from Ascana, with an extremely potent magic pool. A quick thinker and ever curious, she's always eager to expand her understanding. Bright and kind, she seems to have a few skeletons in the closet...

Aloe Vandegrift, a human from Scaleil, the domain of fire. Raised in a society where strength is your greatest asset, she has a strong sense of pride. Cold and aloof, her main focus is keeping the group safe. She is considered the leader of the group, and is also the oldest.

Dew Chille, a human from Edrana, domain of the sea. A strong mage with a talent for illusion magic, she's the textbook definition of trickster. Her bright and bubbly personality seems to be concealing something. Her illusions could be deadly, if she so chose.

Daniel Zephyr, a human from Adrena, land of ice and mountains. Strives to be a great knight and to protect those who need protection. Has a strong sense of justice, and tries to see things from all angles. His armor is painted with gold to look more heroic. Twin brother to Amber.

Amber Zephyr, a human also from Adrena. Reveled as a powerful mage in her family, she has a lot of confidence to the point of arrogance. Always trying to be the absolute best, she ends up overworking herself often and spends countless hours perfecting spells. Has a strong hatred for Felis, as per her families influence. Twin sister to Daniel.

Finally, Hope Furi, a human from Addriel, the land of sky and floating islands. Calm and collected, he maintains a neutral presence in almost every situation. A cleric and skilled healer, he is a very spiritual person. While he cannot see spirits, his faith still holds strong. The presence of The Blight disturbs him greatly.

The second picture is of Laurel, harnessing a primal energy and essentially going beast mode lol

The third and forth are cat memes I did with her.

The fith is a siren au I made, featuring Laurel and Erin

The sixth and seventh are Halloween wallpapers I did, featuring a werewolf Laurel, a witch Erin, a dragon Hope, and an angel Dew.

The last one is a kingdom hearts au I did with Laurel and Erin, just being goobers.

ASCANA anon- wow I didn’t think they were like v-tubers! It’s a shame it ended, I would’ve loved to see more of them & lipxlip together

yeah! it would have fun to see them being friends/rivals. i also think it's a shame because after asuka rejected hiyori, she promised to be his fan and support him and because he kinda like, died, we can never get any follow-up on that

BRO WHAT HI!?!?!?!?!?!?

[yume-fanfare]

ohhh yeah absolutely

the problem indeed was that there wasn't enough source material that they could use and thus ended up making up stuff that was Bad

like the overall structure that was intended (6 episodes to set up the manager and idol dynamic and then 6 episodes about her own life and her friends) wasn't a bad idea as a concept but there's the source material problem

tbh i understand that it's not like herotaru could've fully portrayed mona's depth as a character because it is not her anime. it's for hiyori and friends, and so far her and mona haven't actually even met in canon, she was mostly there as a treat to the viewers (and a Lot of people were happy to see her). maybe there were better ways of handling her, but there were other characters more important to hiyori's story that needed the development

all of the haniwa characters have their fleshed out stories but it is not always their moment to be told

[iqmmir]

the other gay idols are ascana! theyre made up of asuka kaido and kanata ichigoya, orphans who were scouted into becoming an idol duo <3 you may recall that in heroiku, the person hiyori confessed to is asuka bc nagisa wasn't out of the basement yet :3 theyre rival idols basically but. um. Theyre Discontinued im sorry

Ooh i did expect that they were discontinued,, i mean i haven't seen any official content of them apart from the lxl movie after like. Falling into the haniwa rabbit hole. Also i wasn't paying attention to the mv much ^^; but ive seen other haniwa posts mentioning the hiyori-asuka sub plot incident thing
