oh. zepp tours motif is wind and dust/ashes in a empty world like timoris's talk about the lack of wind and dust in a world where time has stopped in ave mujica's 1st live.

the secondary motif is related to zodiacal light which is diffused sunlight reflecting off interplanetary dust.

& the rings are the ecliptic plane.

it's also on tomori's bag for the wego collab, plus some other recent things like the autumn classic fair tomori acrylic stand/keychain & the comiket 103 mygo goods.

polaris, the north star is the central symbol of mygo. the ring surrounding the mygo logo also works to convey a compass.

"Because Polaris lies nearly in a direct line with the Earth's rotational axis "above" the North Pole—the north celestial pole—Polaris stands almost motionless in the sky, and all the stars of the northern sky appear to rotate around it. Therefore, it makes an excellent fixed point from which to draw measurements for celestial navigation and for astrometry. The elevation of the star above the horizon gives the approximate latitude of the observer."

sirius is the brightest star visible from earth. sirius is also called the morning star because it appears in the sky just before sunrise from early july to mid-september.

"The brightest star seen from Earth, Sirius is recorded in some of the earliest astronomical records. Its displacement from the ecliptic causes its heliacal rising to be remarkably regular compared to other stars."

"Sirius appears bright because of its intrinsic luminosity and its proximity to the Solar System. At a distance of 2.64 parsecs, the Sirius system is one of Earth's nearest neighbours. Sirius is gradually moving closer to the Solar System; it is expected to increase in brightness slightly over the next 60,000 years to reach a peak magnitude of −1.68. Coincidentally, at about the same time, Sirius will take its turn as the southern Pole Star, around the year 66,270 AD. In that year, Sirius will come to within 1.6 degrees of the south celestial pole."

"After that time, its distance will begin to increase, and it will become fainter, but it will continue to be the brightest star in the Earth's night sky for approximately the next 210,000 years, at which point Vega, another A-type star that is intrinsically more luminous than Sirius, becomes the brightest star."

"Sirius A is about twice as massive as the Sun and has an absolute visual magnitude of +1.43. It is 25 times as luminous as the Sun"

vega is one of the stars making up the summer triangle, that also includes altair, & deneb.

"At present the pole star is Polaris, but around 12,000 BCE the pole was pointed only five degrees away from Vega. Through precession, the pole will again pass near Vega around 14,000 CE. Vega is the brightest of the successive northern pole stars."

"Astrophotography, the photography of celestial objects, began in 1840 when John William Draper took an image of the Moon using the daguerreotype process. On 17 July 1850, Vega became the first star (other than the Sun) to be photographed,"

"In August 1872, Henry Draper took a photograph of Vega's spectrum, the first photograph of a star's spectrum showing absorption lines. Similar lines had already been identified in the spectrum of the Sun. In 1879, William Huggins used photographs of the spectra of Vega and similar stars to identify a set of twelve "very strong lines" that were common to this stellar category. These were later identified as lines from the Hydrogen Balmer series. Since 1943, the spectrum of this star has served as one of the stable anchor points by which other stars are classified."

"The distance to Vega can be determined by measuring its parallax shift against the background stars as the Earth orbits the Sun."

this all connects back to the beat of the stars felt by kasumi that already seems to connect to uika/sakiko, as well as the poppin' party song star beat.

many of mygo's motifs are already inspired by star beat's cd insert art, along with various other motifs used by popipa from around the time of the first season of the anime.

mygo's 'a small moment' live already used the motif of zodiacal light.

in the interlude sakiko's footsteps are marked with stars, and the empty spotlight represents the place sakiko used to occupy.

is the rotation path on the ecliptic plane an additional meaning to mygo's compass imagery?

the missing piece of avemuji's gear is the sun, the moon is forced to orbit the sun & earth due to tidal locking but cosmic dust & stars aren't necessary tied to a set ecliptic path.

both gears and compass move in a set direction so to be lost/stop moving is to be removed/break your ties with the path set out for you.

because of tidal locking the dark side of the moon exists preventing it from ever being seen from all sides from earth. the lunar lacus oblivionis is the only one of ave mujica's on the far side where it can't be perceived.

moonlight is a reflection of sunlight so what does it mean for ave mujica after perdere omnia, to create their own moonlight?

finally delving into mygo bc i wasnt super interested and theres not a lot of info abt them and bushiroad is so weirdly secretive (not even telling us the who the vas are lolol) but their music is nice kinda underwhelming but nice. and i just remembered they also announced another new band with no info (ave mujica) AND they have the vtuber band that idk anything abt and its like i wish they’d stop making new bands that have nothing to do with bandori gbp and REVIVE BOYDORI INSTEAD

[wazzygoo]

oh my god ave mujica episode 1 was so good. oh my god. expect ave mujica fan art for the foreseeable future im so abnormal

[waffleweirdo]

9, 10 (for Junna), and/or 12!

9: I don't read a ton of fanfic (usually I have a hard time finding stuff I like), but I have some I really enjoyed!

"Oh, how I'm hungry for heaven" by rainbowRamen is a series about the different members of Ave Mujica each having a conversation with Sakiko, and it is so good. It has absolutely shaped the way I think about the characters and the use of a vampire au to depict the themes is incredible. Sakiko drinks her own blood just to play the role it is phenomenal. https://archiveofourown.org/works/53380039?view_full_work=true

"Incognito" by Rusti_cor made me feel all the feelings from the revue of hunting all over again. It was a whirlwind, and the style as almost a memory really plays on some of the dynamics of the inevitable parting that revue starlight has always looming over it that I don't think gets enough attention, but does get explored here! Plus seeing the conflicting emotions and perspectives of Nana and Junna is really cool. (does contain kissing) https://archiveofourown.org/works/53696101

10: This one is honestly really hard, I don't keep track of fan art as well as I should, but this one by @priscirat comes to mind https://www.tumblr.com/priscirat/746951515876556800/junna?source=share, the imagery is sooooo good.

12: I absolutely love this question, though once again I'm not sure if I have a great answer for it, as I think of so many things and inevitably forget most of them, but looking at my random notes document let me pull some highlights...

For revstar most of my AUs are fancasts of different shows that I think it would be fun to see. Probably the craziest one is for Seisho and The Play That Goes Wrong:

Inspector Carter: Junna

Charles: Maya

Perkins: Karen

Florence: Kaoruko

Cecil/Arthur: Mahiru

Thomas: Claudine

Trevor: Hikari (this was the role that inspired this whole thing)

Annie: Futaba

I'd say mostly my AUs are fairly standard, like what goofy shenanigans would they get up to if they were all roommates or a crossover with x other thing. But one this is solely for my own dumb fun is just the scenario of the entire Octopath cast having game nights all together. Hikari is the GM for their ttrpg games. Ochette is really good at Set. Primrose always wins Coup. Partitio, Tressa, Alfyn, and Temenos have a years long Euchre game going. (I could keep going, but you get the idea)

some shows i enjoyed in 2024

2024 was the year I fell back into my old nerdy tendencies and started watching anime again, so I wanted to share some of the anime that held a special place in my heart this year

Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu Season 1 and 2 (BokuYaba or The Dangers in my Heart)

I started watching this anime because Atarayo performed the 2nd season OP, and it seemed like a pretty cute anime, and damn it didn't disappoint. Every episode got me hooked as I watched Kyotaro and Anna's relationship develop as they fell more and more in love with each other. What really stood out to me was the excellent character and plot writing, not relying on cliche romance tropes like rivals and miscommunication to drive the plot forward, but instead relying on the characters' growth as young teenagers on their road to self-discovery and helping each other to become better versions of themselves. I picked up the manga after finishing the anime and the plot thereafter is just as sweet and still consistently delivers.

BanG Dream! It's MyGo!!!!!

I stopped following Bandori for a few years, but got into MyGo out of curiosity after finding out that it's insanely popular in China, and after watching I could see why. The gripping drama and compelling characters was nothing like I've seen before in the previous Bandori animes and in-game stories, and the emotional delivery in the voice acting, music and general direction was top notch - I was greatly moved by the end of the season. Also, MyGo's music is totally my jam and Mayoiuta is my number 1 most played song on Spotify haha. I'm really intrigued about the Ave Mujica sequel next year - I'm not really a fan of their music genre and "lore heavy" band concepts, but I'll still give it a watch because I have high expectations that the anime will be a banger.

Hibike! Euphonium Season 3

Of course, who could forget the anime that brought me back to my once-inactive Tumblr so I could publish my brainrot on the internet. Hibike has always been one of my favourite anime series, and this season has cemented it as my all-time favourite series. Everything from the writing to the art to the music, and to the voice acting is top-notch, and I was eagerly anticipating every episode during its run time. I could gush for hours about Hibike but I shall not do so on this post, but all in all I'm really glad I decided to give Season 3 a watch because it did not disappoint.
