Hello Precure communityyyy :DD

I'm Ruerue, creator of the Dark Skies Precure AU/Blog!!! I have a silly little obsession with evil versions of characters, so when I was thinking heavily about both villain characters and Hirogaru Sky Precure, I had an apiphany!

Dark Cures in Hirogaru Sky!!!

I only really had this idea like a day ago so this idea is still generally in the works, but I hope to develop it nicely as it goes.

Also here's my header image!!

My designs for the Dark Hirogaru Cures!! I'm super proud of how they all came out :D

I really hope someone else can be as insane about them as I am hehe

(P.S.... blog is open for asks always :33)

it will happen again

[fairsweetlonging]

just thinking about how binghe had no idea that without-a-cure even had a cure and he spent all his years as a disciple thinking his shizun would at best be disabled for the rest of his life and at worst die a slow and painful death, and it was to save him.

What are the personalities of the Dark Cures? Are they what the main team was pre-character development (like Dark Pretty Cure 5) or are they just straight up evil versions of what their counterparts represent (like the Bad End Pretty Cure)?

I'm thinking they're more like the Bad End Cures, but also have some traits like the Dark Precure 5. The main thing I was thinking of for the Dark Skies Precure is that they have similar personalities to their counterparts but in a more negative fashion.

Dark Sky is confident and energetic like Cure Sky, but her confidence is more arrogant and egocentric and her energy makes her feel like she can really do anything, including quickly besting any of the Cures in a fight.

Dark Prism cares... for herself. She doesn't like to share her own things but would steal something that belongs to one of her comrades and say "sharing is caring". She's a hypocrite and can trick people by being kind at first, only to show her true colors afterwards.

Dark Wing prides himself on his abilities in flying, but he's actually one of the weakest of the Dark Cures. He wants to surpass Dark Sky in strength so he's a very jealous person. He works hard to be stronger, and his target? The city where the Precure live.

Dark Butterfly cannot stand children. She's honorable enough to not hurt one, but that's mainly because you'd never catch her near one. Objectively she's the nicest out of the Dark Cures, as she can busy herself with cooking and cleaning if need be, but her cooking could best be described by Dark Prism as "poison".

Dark Magesty, for whenever she shows up in this AU, is very power driven. She's bored more often than not, and doesn't find joy or exitement in lots of things, so that's why she seems to always be in a sour mood. She's strong enough to not lose to two or three Cures, however the full team against her would be a difficult match.

The negative emotions of the Dark Cures are fuled heavily by Undergru Energy. Often, the Dark Cures aren't able to really feel any positive emotions other than a temporary satisfaction of annoying each other to Skyland and back.

My night was going so wonderfully.

The headshot of this cover is just PAINFUL. They're actually acknowledging each other, they're the only ones on a cover to do that. And it's the prominent detail that Mizi looks horrified staring at Sua, even though they're clutching each other so... like they can't let go, while Sua looks reverent in the lane of that gaze, even blushing, slightly, savoring the moment. This also looks like their kiss scene...

To me, she looks just the same as the day she died because I think this cover is Sua's haunting of Mizi, because Sua's singing is just that, haunting and distant the longer she sings, she's fading out, but so gently despite its gruesomeness. And Mizi is grieving.

She's as angelic as she is in Mizi's memories..

But there's a cruelty to this because Mizi will never forget what she saw in round 1, that's why seeing Sua over and over and over again terrifies her, hence why the tone of this song is SO dark, especially in the second half when they're coming to a close, they get desperate to keep each other close, and there is a certain, but familiar ignorance to Sua's presence as if she can't see Mizi's pain even though Mizi is crying right in front of her--childish egos, Sua becomes a more honest character after her death, and in more expressive formats like this, and I like how she takes on that position in this song, the taker. (Like Till, he wanted a security blanket out of Mizi; Sua is similar in that sense.) as she takes and wants from Mizi for her own sanity.

And this newest illustration, oh my god. EXPRESSES THIS IDEA PERFECTLY, Sua looks so utterly distant, ghostly, dead.

In contrast to Ivan and Till's cure, Mizi and Sua's cure is more of a duet, and they switch places often. Mizi starts the song, she ends the song (just like in my clematis), and Sua supports it. Whereas Ivan and Till take turns leading and harmonizing, Mizi and Sua both participate.

And I believe they're interacting? Ivan and Till's cure wasn't a message to each other, something a lot more complicated than that--but Mizi and Sua transition frequently and it feels like they're singing to each other, It's more intimate.

Mizi - Allow me, to the tips of your finger

Allow me, to the ends of your feet

Dissolve me in your gaze

I don't want to let you go.

Sua - Please, leave me scars

Please, hurt me so that not a singly drop of me remains

Let me drown in you.

(The backing vocals mean so much to me, it's like a choir(?))

Mizi - Until these falling stars

Are buried in the blur of time

On your icy lips

Read my soul, yes, my soul

It wasn't spontaneous for the sake of it either, because this is a call-and-response

Sua - Even if your cold words

Carve scars beneath my eyes

May they linger on your tongue

You can break me apart

Mizi - Notice my pain

And mend me right now

To quiet my fears

I'll drown in you

-

Mizi is directly asking Sua, or the version of her she can't forget, to stay with her, calm her like she used to, as she wishes to have remained in the dark, to drown in her, or to have just not been left alone and, because even now Sua's death is not something she can accept, the portrayal of her feelings as she expresses her pain and desire to keep Sua close, even the false presence of her "On your icy lips" and "notice my pain and mend me right now" even though It's terrifying her, she doesn't want to let go.

Sua acknowledges Mizi's pain, and their shared pains after she died for her, the blame and the betrayal. Interestingly, Sua takes on the metaphorically self-destructive lyrics, Sua lives in fear, anxiety, and utter gloominess, she didn't want to be hurt by Mizi in the literal sense, but she would've rather been warmed in Mizi's soft light, her false hope and optimism, to be destroyed and to destroy Mizi's hope, even dying as the penalty of their love was far better.

Then Sua goes on to sing through the perspective of Mizi and her loneliness and grief after losing her with perfect clarity, it takes me back to the comic where Ivan scolded Sua about her plan, saying that she'd be nothing more than a trauma to Mizi after everything is said and done, she got upset at Ivan because she knew that, was devastated by the fact that she would be a burden just as she always feared, but then, what's a life without Mizi by her side, her only safety net? Her every reason for living?

This song displays their deep love and devotion, they sound melancholic but even in these horrific circumstances, Mizi's pain and hesitance, they don't drown each other out, they move together in perfect harmony just like they always do, in this way, it also feels like an apology of sorts from both sides before the bitter end, and a final goodbye.

AND THEN AT THE END WITH THE PERFECT SYNCHRONIZING OF THEIR VOICES ARGHH

And a new Sua illustration for the occasion 😭💔 (I'm gonna catch you soon Vivinos just wait.)
