Adding one more because I reached the tag limit Berry (Tokyo Mew Mew a la Mode)

(see tags for more)

Good evening, Tumblr user.

In front of you is a post asking everyone to list their favorite female Blorbos in the tags, stating that OP is tired of the focus on men in fandom.

You must participate and tag all of your favorite female characters.

If you include any characters who were canonically written as male in your tags regardless of reason, the reverse bear trap attached to your head will activate.

Begin.

what if i wrote a revstar fic where kaoruko and futaba's wedding (they get married at 23--everyone is simultaneously like "god that is so young" and "i can't believe they managed to wait that long") is like a 5 year starira girlie reunion and all of the lesbian drama gets stirred back up, but this time they're all in their 20s and some of them have perhaps not seen each other in a while. and perhaps distance makes the heart grow fonder. or not.

[ENG] Revue Starlight -The LIVE- #4 Climax Pamphlet Interview

Happy 6th anniversary to Revue Starlight! I managed to finish translating this interview just in time. Among other fun things, the cast of #4 left a message to each of their characters, and it's very sweet :') Translation under the cut.

Q.1

What do you think the highlight of this play is?

Mimori Suzuko: The brilliance of youth. The anxiety and anticipation of facing the future with graduation just around the corner! This world is huge, so do your best! Don't give up, Stage Girls! Without realizing it, you'll end up wanting to encourage them like that... for sure!

Kadoyama Yoko: After all, it's the Revue. It'll light a fire in the hearts of everyone who has watched and supported the plays up until now, without a doubt!

Ozaki Yuka: The theme is "Climax", so each of the Stage Girls must choose their own futures and part ways with their friends, and personally, I can relate to a lot of the feelings they're going through. Plus, there are interactions between members of the three schools of Seisho, Siegfeld, and Seiran that we haven't seen yet, so it'd be great if you paid attention to that.

Tomita Maho: It's "Climax", so there are a lot of moments that make you feel nostalgic. Please look forward to it! (laughs)

Iwata Haruki: Everyone's different paths! The different thoughts everyone's having with graduation just up ahead... and the Revue this time sure is a sight to see!!

Ikuta Teru: For Futaba, the highlight is that I'm using the most physical strength so far this time...! We're renewing the standard of what makes you feel like "there's no way Starlight can surpass this", and it's really difficult, but I'm able to feel the growth Futaba and I are experiencing together each time we practice, so every day is really fulfilling. I'll charge through with a fighting spirit!!!

Koizumi Moeka: Just like the title, it's loaded with a feeling of "Climax"! In #4, what will the Stage Girls fight against, and how will they overcome it? And there's maybe a Revue that will hit hard for the people who know about the plays so far...?

Q.2

Please tell us about your favorite song or line from the Starlight stage plays so far, as well as any related memories!

Koyama Momoyo: "Gunjou [Ultramarine]" from #2 is super super cool! It's so beautiful!!! Oh... Karen didn't sing in it, but... I watched over everyone from the back during every performance! I remember just itching to join in.

Koizumi Moeka: Through the words I said to Hisame-chan in #2, "It'll be colorful as always", I learned about Nana-chan's middle school days, and it gave me an opportunity to think once more about how Nana felt when she went to Seisho. She loves everyone in Seisho, but she also loves Hisame-chan, who she met in middle school.

Tomita Maho: I think it'd be "3･7･5･1･0", which we sang every time. When I hear it, it makes me feel like, "Stage Starlight is starting!"

Ozaki Yuka: "Grand Symphony", the curtain call song for Siegfeld's first stage play. During each performance, when all of our eyes met, everyone's expressions were brilliant, and I can't forget that moment. With the strong message of the lyric "I've made my decision to live on stage", it's a song that gives me a lot of encouragement.

Nomoto Hotaru: "I'll become the star of everyone's lives!", Yukishiro Akira's line from Delight. It makes me think "she's such an idiot~", but I can't hate her, and I can't help but think that it'll actually come true. I think it's a line that really represents Akira, and I've always loved it.

Itou Ayasa: The song "Position Zero e! [To Position Zero!]" from #1 is catchy, and the acting-like choreography was fun, so it left a deep impression on me. The lyric "I want to aim even higher" was so memorable that I thought the title was "I want to aim higher". (laughs)

Shiina Hekiru: The line "No matter which path you choose to advance on, the curtains of your lives will remain open". Once they enter this industry, these kids in the same class will make different decisions for their lives and go their separate ways. It's up to each person which path they choose, and there's a sight they can only see after they've made that decision.

Q.3

Episodes about your graduation ceremony/memories of graduation

Koyama Momoyo: Just like how Karen looked up to Starlight, I also had a play that I'd admired since I was a child, and the final audition for that play overlapped with my high school graduation ceremony...! I chose the audition, and in the end, I successfully passed. I was set to appear in the play of my dreams! I remember thinking, "You really don't know when your life is going to change, huh..."

Sato Hinata: On the day of my elementary school graduation, I didn't have any stick-on body warmers at home, so I attended with a non-sticky warmer on my stomach, and right before I received my diploma, it fell, and it was so embarrassing. I'll never forget it. I'll also never forget accepting the diploma while gripping the warmer in my right hand. 

Haruki Iwata: I happened to be working on my Bachelor's thesis during the #1 revival, and during rehearsals I had everyone from the cast and staff fill out the questionnaire for my thesis...! I graduated thanks to everyone's help!! (laughs)

Mimori Suzuko: On the day of my high school graduation, there was snow piled on the ground, which is rare for March in Tokyo, and before I got to school, I fell on my butt and my skirt was soaked through...! I borrowed a spare skirt from the nurse's office and participated in the ceremony. It was a girls school, but I was popular with my juniors (laughs) so after the graduation ceremony, all of the buttons on my blazer were gone. Even the buttons on my sleeves♪

[T/N: It's a middle/high school graduation tradition for girls to ask guys they like for the second button on their blazer (more here), but if you're as (understandably) popular as Mimorin that extends to the rest of the buttons too.]

Ito Ayasa: I did a homestay abroad for two weeks in March just before graduation, and having stuffed myself full with all the food there before coming back, the photos from my graduation ended up being something incredible (laughs).

Aiba Aina: I remember staying up until midnight putting on flashy false nails, and then waking up at 5 AM to do my hair and makeup by myself as best as I could, but then it was ruined pretty quickly when I cried.

Q.4

A message to the members of your school

Maho Tomita: Every time we spend time together for a play, I realize how truly happy I am spending time creating plays together with all of you! Thank you so much for coming into my life♡

Ikuta Teru: I  L O V E  Y O U  !!!!!!!!!!!!!! LET'S HANG OUT TOGETHER AS NINE AGAIN, OKAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aiba Aina: I really can't thank you enough for coming into my life and becoming my friends. Thank you so much. When I couldn't do various things, without caring about anything like age or background, everyone gave advice to everyone, and including the ensemble cast, I just love Seisho's vibes. Let's keep sticking together from now on and forever! J'aime beaucoup tout le monde! [I love all of you so much!]

Nomoto Hotaru: To the Edel juniors. Yuka-chan and I are both doing our best as Edels. Let's stand on stage together as five again.

Kadoyama Yoko: I love you. Let's keep standing on stage together.

Shiina Hekiru: Keep on struggling. And, do not regret the path you have chosen.

Q.5

A message to the character you play

Koyama Momoyo: To Karen. The view I see from the stage with you is always colorful and radiant. I'll work hard to not lose to your brilliance, Karen! From here on as well, let's continue leaping into a yet unseen, beautiful future together! From Momoyo.

Mimori Suzuko: You went off to London without telling Karen again, I see...! The way you always decide where to go based on however you're feeling—I don't have that kind of proactiveness, and it sure is incredible. And the teacher did say that actresses are always selfish, so I think it's a good thing.

Maho Tomita: Let's go eat some yummy baumkuchen next time!!!

Sato Hinata: To Junna-chan. I can still vividly remember the moment we met. Your personality was so similar to mine, and I was a kid who thought it would be easier to give up when I was losing to someone. Since then, over the years, I was able to see many of your expressions, and before I realized it, I had gained courage from you. In order to make a decision, you need to take a big step forward, and in order to take that big step, you need an even larger amount of courage. But, Junna-chan, you taught me that taking that step can allow you to feel how big the world is. Thank you so much!! And let's keep doing our best from here on out! I hope you will continue shining brilliantly on stage with wonderful friends.

Haruki Iwata: I think you're feeling unsure about a lot of things on your new path, but you're a Stage Girl who's many times stronger than you think you are! May you continue shining on stage with strength, lovingly, and beautifully.

Koizumi Moeka: A lot of time has passed since we first met, Nana. I wonder if I've grown a bit since I met you? Up until now and from now on as well, my star is Daiba Nana, you and only you. I'll work even harder in hopes of being able to stand next to you proudly one day. Please watch over me, always.

Aiba Aina: Thank you for always pushing me forward. It's thanks to you, Claudine, that I could meet treasured friends and staff members, and overcome various obstacles! I'm really, truly happy to be able to play you, Claudine. You're "the best woman in the world" in my heart! I'll continue to work hard while looking up to you! Merci♡

Ikuta Teru: Futaba, I truly think you're amazing for deciding to go to Seisho with just a single word from Kaoruko, and then graduating from there and aiming for a new stage with your own will. I'm always learning from your hardworking and single-minded attitude. I'll do my best with all my strength so I won't lose to you! Thanks for always showing me a wonderful view!

Ito Ayasa: With how strong you are at your core, I'm sure you'll be fine no matter where you go from here on, Kaoruko. I'm looking forward to seeing your beautiful dancing in the future as well! Almost as much as Futaba-han is, I'm your number one fan too♡

Nomoto Hotaru: You're wild and free, and just live honestly on the stage, and you're so annoying, but I love you!!

Ozaki Yuka: Michiru, having walked with you thus far, I have so much respect for you and your charming personality that's hard to guess from your appearance. Please allow me to continue portraying your thoughts about acting and feelings about Akira, as dearly as I can. I'll keep working hard and aiming for greater heights in sword fighting, dancing, and acting so you won't be ashamed of me, so even when you're in Germany, let's do our best together♪ I'm worried that people will see you as a kid in Germany, Michiru~(laughs)

Kadoyama Yoko: There are so many people in this world who love you. Be confident and push forward towards your dreams. I will always be on your side.

Shiina Hekiru: You're lucky to have such wonderful students. The things you can pass down to them because you're you—please wrap them up nicely with deep love and strictness.

(JP text)

[crazykacey]

Today's question is how the hell you can get so much text from a 20 minute conversation. I finally translated this talkshow (mostly anyway). It is not 100% and sorry for my crappy grammar once again.

And there is a lot of text

A lot

First everyone introduced themselves and then Ms.Frozen points out their Sailor Moon(Hotaru) is not there and Yume explains that the schedules would match and wasn't able to come. Ms. Frozen comments that it's good that she has one enemy less lol but quickly averts the attention away from her by asking if they have a message or something from her and Yume tells that she has a letter from Hotaru. Hotaru writes that she is very disappointed that she is not able to be there and is not sure whether the letter shouls be read seriously or jokingly and tells Yume to read to room to define how to read the letter (iirc the other inners used to jokingly tease Yume as she was the youngest of the Inners so I guess that falls on that). Hotaru writes that she very jealous of everyone who gets to be as she would also like to. Back when she was cast as Sailor Moon, she didn't find being on stage that enjoyable as she hated her voice and there were times when they weren't able to communicate properly and while she has many regrets, she is very happy about all the love she was able to get from her Sailor Moon and her co-workers. And no matter how many years pass, she will never forget all that love and is very proud she was able to be part of Sailor Moon. She then writes for the others to have the best time and to take lots of pictures and them to her and if they don't, she'll start sulking. Everyone is confused since they thought she would say, "if you don't send any pictures, in the name of the Moon, I'll punish you!" "Until we meet again, Hotaru Nomoto."

Ms. Frozen says that the things she heard makes her heart cold and shivering and Kaede then asks that is there any chance that she is Snow Kaguya. She then reassures that is not and teels the girls that they must have heard about Ms. Frozen before somewhere. And the girls "remember" hearing about her.(Apparently this is done woth every guest tho) And she then sarts her Guest Chronicle Corner and proceed to show a slideshow of several pictures from their time in Sera Myu. The first pic is from LMF when the performed Speed of Light during the service numbers. The second picture is from the beginning of AE when Karen(Rei) says "Something is approaching" and Dead Moon Circus arrives on Earth. The next pic is from the end of AE when Sailor Moon transforms into Eternal Sailor Moon and they sing Amour Eternal ~Speed of Light~ and fight Nehellenia. (I love Rimo's high-pitched "Nehellenia-sama"). I think the next pic is right at the end of LMF when they strike their poses at the end of Moonlight Densetsu. Kaede mentions that there was such little time between giving high-fives in the audience to striking the pose on specific spot. The last pic is from the song CHIBI CHIBI in LMF. Karen mentions that she was super happy to wear Rei's miko outfit(is there a proper name for that? Priestess outfit? idk). Yume also mentions that wanted to wear glasses alongside Ami's school uniform and the staff about it and was able to do it!

Then they moved to the next event called Freeze History! Punish You Corner (this translation sucks but honestly how to hell am i supposed to translate it) where the girls are asked questions about their time in Sera Myu. And if Ms. Frozen doesn't like their answers she will freeze a part of their body with those fancy "ice" badges. The ensemble/Snow Dancers arrive and the girls mention that there are familiar faces as they have performed together before. The first question is were there any sort of "terrible episodes" and it is asked from Karen and Rimo. Karen says that AE was the very first time she was cast to play on stage and there were many things she was very clueless about but she ended up getting do into that that se told her mother that she'll chastise her. So when they started practicing for the musical, she was kinda confused about Mars's catchfrase ("In the name of Mars, I'll chastise you/Ka-sei ni kawatte, sekkan yo/火星に代わって、折檻よ") as she didn't really understand the meaning of "sekkan"(chastise) so she looked it up and found it was a little bit stronger version of "I'll punish you!". So it left a really big impact on her as it is not something you'll say that often. So one day when returning home from practice she got in an argument with her mom and as she was super tired and still in a Sailor Mars mode, she told her mom that'd chastise her(折檻よ！). Ms. Frozen then asks how did her mom react and apparently she went silent and Ms. Frozen says that it really most have worked then and the other girls say that they have never heard this story before. When Rimo is asked the same question, she gets distracted and starts talking about the ensemble crew and how they are looking at her with such warm eyes. They talk about them for a bit until Ms. Frozen interrupts them asking if they can return to the main subject and meanwhile Rimo has already forgotten the question xD

As it was also her first time on stage so she was very confused about many things. Especially all the stage left ans stage right stuff and the markings on the stage (who stands where and all that stuff). And since the Senshi run a lot a when on stage and when told to run either stage left or stage right she was very confused where she should run. Yume then adds that it gets really confusing when the staff are telling them where to go from the audience so their lefts and rights are different. Ms. Frozen then adds two "ice" on both Karen and Rimo. The next question is were there any sort of accidents of mistakes that happened during the performances and it is asked from Yume and Kaede. Yume starts and tells about how they had swap their clothes really quickly from regular clothes to Sailor Senshi. Especially in AE in Shiratsuki Gonin Musume as Sailor Mercury came right after Sailor Moon so when she left the stage and Sailor Moon verse started, Yume only had like 30 or 40 seconds to swap clothes. So when went backstage, three members of staff were ready there to put the Sailor uniform on her. While they were putting it on her, for reason they stopped for reason and seemed very confused and even more staff members arrived there. It seemed that the zip on the back broke or got torn or something. And in the end she had 2-3 seconds before she has to run out to the stage and start her verse so then one of the staff members said to her: "Listen closely, you must not turn around under any circumstances" and then she rushed to the stage and started her verse trying not to show her back. And what made it more difficult was when she had to do her attack, Mercury Aqua Mirage, and usually she spun around while she did it so that time she had to do it without the spinning. After that they were able to salvage it with some sort of pin tho. She then adds that she is not sure what sort of "transformations" they do now and how fast they have to be but during AE they had to be super fast.

Kaede responds that since the Senshi have a lot of accessories like the chokers and earrings and the earrings even change between their civilian form and Senshi form so since there are so many accessories, many of them fall to the stage during the performances. Everyone agrees with her. And when someone notices that something has been dropped, the first thoughts is who is gonna pick that up? And start really thinking when would be a good opportunity to do it. And if it cannot be picked up and when entering backstage everyone would be told that something has been dropped and it should be picked up if possible. She then adds that if it is noticed that something has been dropped and if an enemy attacks, "falling" next to dropped item and then taking it to the backstage is something that is usually done. Since if they are not picked up someone might trip on them or something. Ms. Frozen then orders for the rest of the "ice" to be put on the girls and Kaede mentions that a familiar person is putting them on lol. The last question is for the past Senshi to give the new Senshi a "cold message".

Yume starts by saying that since Sera Myu has been able to continue all this time they are able to be there and hopes that it'll still continue for a very long time so that they'll have this amazing place to return to. And that she'll cheer them on for with all of her mighr. Karen says that ever since she been a part of Sera Myu she has found a lot of courage and dreams and is very grateful for everything. She then tells the new Senshi to do their very best. Kaede says that when she was performing she wasn't able to see it the same eay as the audience and now seeing it as a guest is amazing. She says that she'll cheer them on and to do their very best till the Senshuuraku. Rimo says that Sera Myu is one of her greatest treasures as it was her first performance and when she went to see KHnK(which she accidentally called Kaguya Hime no Monogatari XD) she remembered how much she loves Sera Myu and as she now saw how much fun everyone was having cheering and waving their penlights and she loved to see it how "this is a world where everyone becomes one". So it really reminded her how amazing Sera Myu is how exciting every performance is, with different guests for everyone, for the audience, the Sailor Senshi and even for the enemies and she at this point she had forgotten Ms. Frozen's name was about to call her Shining something😂😂 (i love her so much) Everyone starts laughing (it was so funny) and Ms. Frozen saves it smoothly by saying the she is shining indeed XD She than wishes the cast do their very best. Ms. Frozen then gets at mad them for telling such wonderful things and asks them who has the Silver Crystal(like she does with every other guest) And they all say Sailor Moon (tbh I was kinda hoping for them to say their own Senshi names lol). Ms. Frozen then tells them that they are wrong and they must be too frozen to answer properly. Yume then replies that she is wrong as they arrived there with such an fiery enthusiasm enough to melt any ice and then they sing of Speed of Light. After that the musical resumes

And then there is the thing with the guests... AND I RECORDED THE WHOLE THING. And a interesting thing is that they actually had a small talk show... Not at the end of the musical like Anza & co. had the Special Live in the middle of the musical like they had with Riona in the previous performance I went to see. So it features the Amour Eternal & Le Mouvement Final Inners, Yume Takeuchi(Ami Mizuno/Sailor Mercury), Karen Kobayashi(Rei Hino/Sailor Mars), Kaede(Makoto Kino/Sailor Jupiter) AND Rimo😍Hasegawa(Minako Aino/Sailor Venus). Apparently Hotaru Nomoto(AE-LMF Sailor Moon) was supposed to come but wasn't able to due to time management issues but she wrote a letter which Yume read. So Ms. Frozen asked them few behind the scene questions from their performances(which I'll go intro greater detail on a later post) And gosh Rimo was being so chaotic I loved it💛💛

While I'm very happy about it, it makes me wonder why Anza & co. didn't have a talk show... What a missed opportunity

AND They performed Speed of Light at the end of it. (starts around 21:45) So while they may not have sang multiple songs like Anza & co. I think it's safe to say that the other guests also sang something (hopefully other songs than Moonlight Densetsu tho)

They also appeared at the end and danced the end part of Moonlight Densetsu!

(If using headphones, it only works on the right ear. Also there is a lot of clapping cause everyone had the time of their life. So yeah I didn't edit any of them at all cause I only have my phone with me. Also also if shared, please credit me!)

Revue Starlight Sports Festival Draft!

As you know, the big Stage Girl Sports Festival Revival will take place in February - literally just a full day event of the various cast members of Revue Starlight (from anime, game, and stage plays) will participate in a funky pretend-highschool sports festival. Today the full teams were decided via draft stream!

The team leaders had previously been announced:

Koyama Momoyo (Aijo Karen, Seisho) - Yellow Team "ZERO" Tomita Maho (Tendo Maya, Seisho) - Blue Team "This is..." Nomoto Hotaru (Yukishiro Akira, Siegfeld) - Red Team "HOT" Nanaki Kanon (Yanagi Koharu, Seiran) - Green Team "shuThuarunomi" (集中あるのみ; "sTay focused")

Also quite funny to me that 3 of the team leaders (all but Maho) are former Sera Myu performers... the Sailor Moon squad has taken over

As is tradition at this point, ensemble member Jinko Moe is the MC for this stream and explains the rules. In the first two rounds, all leaders are free to pick 1 stage girl of their chosing per round from the roster as their top picks. If any chose the same person, they will have to decide by draft - the loser can then choose freely again. After round 2, all other rounds are chosen by draft completely by luck. We already knew not all cast members are going to be there so not every stage girl is available for chosing. Suzuko Mimori (Hikari), Emiri Kato (Tsukasa) and Shiina Hekiru (Souda-sensei) are going to be the MCs at the event, so they won't be participating as athletes either. Also, Tsukui Minami (Suzu) and Kobayashi Yuka (Yakumo-sensei) are a "2 for 1" deal, as they won't be able to make the whole event (iirc).

Team Zero's name is the most easily explained. Moyo gets a lot of praise from her colleagues and chat for her genius team logo design. The E is a crown with tomato jewels... I'm in awe

Maho explains the pronunciation of her team: The "..." is performed dramatically with the eyes, like the above. Lol

Nossan's design of course features Hot-kun, Akira's favourite food & beloved plushie. The Hot-kun icon is actually the inside of a chili, not a sun. Apparently.

Kanon struggled quite a bit with finding a team name, and after consulting with the other leaders in their Line chat group, she wanted a good Koharu line as the team name. Koharu's "うるさい." ("Shut up.") came to mind, but she thought that was too rude for a team name, so shuchuarunomi it became. She placed a big T (position zero!) for the "ch" sound. Complicated, but clever.

Time for drawing the teams! In round 1, everyone is asked to present their top picks for their team.

Moyo's is: MATSUZAWA! Aka Matsuzawa Kanon, who plays Shiro from Siegfeld Middle School!

Maho's is the one and only Sato Hinata - student council president of Seisho herself, Hoshimi Junna.

Nossan's top pick is: Ikuta Teru of Futaba fame!! And funnily enough...

Kanon's pick is also Teru!!! She even drew a tiny Ponzu (Teru's dog) to sway the public. The crowd goes wild. They have to let fate decide who wins over Teru for their team, and Nossan comes out on top. So Kanon gets to choose again, and her next free pick is Haruchan! Aka her fellow Photon Maiden bestie, Iwata Haruki of Mahiru fame.

Time for round 2, and last round of free picks! Again, Moyo goes first.

Moyo's second pick is Saeki Iori, who plays Rinmeikan's Yuyuko!

Maho's second pick is Sasaki Mikoi aka Mikoron, Shizuha of Frontier!

Nossan's next pick is Koizumi Moeka aka Moepii, who plays the one and only Banana! Complaints from the other leaders are heard for her making her team too strong. Lol. We'll see about that.

Kanon's pick is Kuge Kokoro of the Siegfeld Middle Schoolers, who plays Minku! No overlaps this time, so everyone gets their first pick!

The next picks are all made by random draft, so it's really just up to luck. Kanon is praying to get at least one other Seiran member for her heart. Everyone is praying not to get Aiai (lmao). Kanon manages to draw Tsumutsumu, another Photon Maiden member, making it a 3/4 for her team (with the fourth PM member, Hinata, sitting in Maho's team). For Nossan, she manages to draw two people very close to her - Ozaki Yuka (Michiru) and Kadoyama Yoko (Hisame), two of Akira's girlfriends. Moyo gets both of the Yumeoji siblings. Maho gets to draw her bestie's wife, KDHR. Kanon's wish is fulfilled by drawing the 2for1 duo of Minami&Kobayashi, her fellow Seirans. The crowd goes wild when Nossan draws Aiai, her team being declared the noisiest for sure (they're not wrong, this will be utter chaos).

Final distribution:

Yellow Team "Zero": Koyama Momoyo (leader; Karen), Matsuzawa Kanon (Shiro), Saeki Iori (Yuyuko), Tono Hikaru (Shiori), Fukagawa Ruka (Ryoko), Kurachi Reo (Fumi)

Blue Team "This is...": Tomita Maho (leader; Maya), Sato Hinata (Junna), Sasaki Mikoi (Shizuha), Ito Ayasa (Kaoruko), Kudo Haruka (Yachiyo), Takeuchi Yume (Mei Fan)

Red Team "HOT": Nomoto Hotaru (leader; Akira), Ikuta Teru (Futaba), Koizumi Moeka (Nana), Ozaki Yuka (Michiru), Kadoyama Yoko (Hisame), Aiba Aina (Claudine)

Green Team "shuThuarunomi": Nanaki Kanon (leader; Koharu), Iwata Haruki (Mahiru), Kuge Kokoro (Minku), Tsumugi Risa (Rui), Sato Yuria (Kuina), Tsukui Minami (Suzu) & Kobayashi Yuka (Yakumo-sensei)

I’ve never stopped thinking about what we talked about on the day I was planning to leave, how you told me I couldn’t run from this, and you’re right. I was afraid of the consequences for something I never even wanted to be a part of, but after all this, if anyone deserves to lead the world into a better tomorrow, it’s people like you and Makoto.

I’m telling this to you now in case I turn out to be right and I get executed for all this. I’m going to tell them everything, about the project and my involvement. I hope that, in some way, it can help make things a little easier for you, Hajime and everyone else. I regret ever agreeing to the project; if I’d known what it involved right from day one, I swear to you I would’ve stopped. I just wanted to do something good for the world, not hurt people like this.

But I can’t run away from the truth anymore. I need to face the consequences. And if I don’t see you again, I want you to to know I always considered you a friend. Whatever happens from here on out, I hope things start looking up for you all. Take care of yourselves.

On a trip to Paris in search of a cure, he meets and falls for Basma, a passionate activist for whols' rights. But Orsay isn't convinced that whols should be granted the same status as humans.

Hodges made gay marriage the law of the land.

With humor and candor, Rob relates how he and John navigated this changing landscape, how they planned and celebrated their wedding, and how they and others in the gay community are now facing the very real possibility of setbacks to marriage equality.

Open Bar TP -  Eduardo Medeiros

Maybe not.   Running a business in a low-traffic area of town isn't all it's cracked up to be, but luckily for the boys, the one-two punch of viral media attention when their neighbor gets crushed by a 747 engine that falls from the sky and a sorta suspect (but very potent) beer recipe they stumble into catch the public's imagination at just the right time. Things get even more complicated when Lenny's ex-girlfriend Amanda shows up again, pregnant. Can our two heroes weather the ravages of success any better than they dealt with being losers? Can Lenny level up and be a good dad? Can Beardo forgive his dead, absentee father? Will the general public run them out of town when they find out what was actually in that beer?

Game four! You play as EB EK or Karen. This is where the Taulpas come in! But are called nightmares.

Hikari:*a shadowy cat with glowing eyes and large wings. She will attack from the bed behind you if you let too many of her plushies stack up. You have to use your phone light to scare them away.*

Alex:*he looks like a skinnier sinner adam. He will charge the left door. If you hear breathing shut the door.*

Delilah:*Will come from the left. She is colored like val but dressed like Vel she has an axe for an arm. Again you hear breathing close the door.*

Ayla:*her eyes glow she's got black stuff coming down her eyes and her fingers are clawed. She's also got red sharp teeth. She attacks from the closet in front of you. Flash the area with your phone and then shut the door till she dissappears.*

Freddy:*he only spawns on night 5. He will replace the others. He can attack from anywhere. Shut the doors he's at or flash him with the lights. Has a faster version who's bigger and is almost see through on top of the missing jaw backwards leg and his creaking sound when he walks.*

Then there's a free 'extra skins mode/Halloween update.'

Toby:all he does is replace Alex. (He has a torn ear a crooked tail and a spiked collar.)

Haytao:(Think I spelled bird child name wrong.) He copies Delilah. He has no feathers his wings are bigger and he's got beady eyes.

Jasper:*she basically is Ayla but with diffrent colors. She the black gunk is like ratma (vhs 94) and she's crawling around.*

Ames:*She replaces Freddy's second form. Also said form only comes on night 6 or if you want to punish yourself nightmare night where you have to fend both off the whole night. And the night is twice as long. She looks like a broken marionette doll with makeup on. There's a large wind up key on her belt and her fingers are like snakes.*

There is a mini game to skip the first 3 hours of the night every night. Just use your flashlight at the right time to get a being on the x.

Todd:basiclly a teddy bear dressed up as the mascot suit Todd was wearing. He only moves if the flash light isn't on. Is replaced by chibi in the Halloween mode. Chibi moves faster however.

Jump scares.

Hikari:*Grabs you and lifts you into the air nashing at you.*

Ayla:*lunges at you from the closet with her arms out. Jasper does the same but mouth first.*

Alex:*kicks the door down and grabs you. Toby does the same.*

Delilah and hotaru:*They jump at you from the side and get close to you. If you don't close the door if you hear a loud chittering sound you'll get attacked by either a pumpkin or a glittery heart toy.*

Freddy:*No matter what he'll grip you by the throat and open his mouth (or whats left of it.) Showing off all the teeth and moves you closer. Though if it's the bed he'll throw it aside.*

Ames:*it's just a still image of her mask without the eyes. If you brighten the image you'd see a zipper in the mouth of the mask. If it's Freddy's second form it's a still of his head. Again his eyes aren't visible. Brighten the image you'd see his second mouth.*

Todd and chibi:*they jump scare you by flailing their arms in the air while making biting motions at you.*

Between every night you'd get a cut scene of either the taulpas manifesting out of hikaris bag whenever the pc is mean to the kids. Or a playable cutescene of Todd's family life. Each time it ends with the taulpa getting within arms reach of the pc or cuts off whenever Todd finds the teddy bear with the words. 'Don't worry. It's okay.' Appering above him. And yes you can talk to the others.

So creepy and so cute! More please!

Dark magical girls! (1974-2005)

I've been considering this for awhile but there are so many that pop up in anime, games, etc that I had to cut down the post. I originally had over 20 girls I could have posted, but I don't feel a lot of them are as easily recognizable and the image solution wouldn't have done them justice. This trope is fairly interesting to me not only due the contrasting designs typically between protagonists but also since most of these girls aren't evil by choice or aren't at all. Sometimes, a dark magical girl is just one who opposes the protagonist without shame at first, often times being more selfish and less empathetic towards others. These characters sometimes may be rivals, such as Non-Gou (Majokko Megu-chan, 1974). Other times their actions stem from neglect, which is touched upon fairly well in shows like Jewelpet Twinkle (2010) with Alma Jinnai.

As a child Alma was basically avoided by everyone, was separated from her family, and as a result holds resentment for Jewelina. I'd rather not spoiler anymore of her backstory, but Twinkle had a very subtle theme of its cast growing so close because in the human world they're talented but lonely children who typically aren't supervised by adults and Alma perfectly aligns with this overaching narrative. Sailor Moon S (1995), Princess Tutu (2002) Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (2004) all have their own method of showcasing this type of character respectively - the female cast member filled with extreme trauma that's no fault of their own, is colored code a much darker color than most (often purple), but is powerful enough to protect themselves and give other magical girls pure hell combat wise.

Another thing to address is how Non-Gou, who is the trope starter for the genre, influenced a lot of future conflicts with proceeding series. Throughout Megu-chan Non-Gou plots devious schemes to harm Meg, but will then attempt to save or guide her. While I have not finished the entire show yet, this is heavily in line with many characters that cause trouble for the main girl who is considered sweet and too friendly to ever willfully harm anyone. I'm reminded of the multiple (and admitedly more lighthearted conflicts) seen in Shugo Chara! (2005), where Utau and Amu bicker about the execution of their goals. Utau's methods of succeeding aren't sound morally, but Amu realizes Utau isn't willing to let her insecurities cloud her judgment while working under Easter. However, she does decide that there are better ways of creating a career that does not involve manifesting X-Eggs.

Depending on how the series is written the dark magical girl is either simply misguided or goes homicidal, which happens in a few works such as Valis: The Fantasm Solider (1986) with Reiko Kirishima. This varies of course due to the logic and circumstances of the series each character appears in, but thankfully most do get redeemed by friendship or were under toxic influences. It'd be fun to write about this in depth, and while I do know Tumblr is used for blogging I'm so used to sites like Wordpress to post my thoughts on. >_<
