ACTUALLY WAIT NO I HAVE A BETTER ASK.

MaryMichi hcs???? or maybe MassMary (they need to fight, kiss, and make up tbh)!!!

why not both? MaryMichi - Mary complains about the cold, constantly. So Michi can't really take her anywhere in his state. Meanwhile, Michi thinks her state is prime cargo shorts weather in the winter. - Big dog and tiny cat energies. - Michi drools a lot in his sleep, Mary thinks it's endearing (when it's not on her). - Mary loves it when Michi gets passionate about football. I'm sure she supported the Lions this past football season. - Michi adores this tiny little crab monster thing so much. - Them cozying up by the fireplace after a long ass day. MassMary - Oh the drama. They have so much tension they need to work out. In the beginning, I'm sure Mass snapped at Mary over any little thing and Mary was able to snap right back at him. - They know exactly what annoys the other and how to tease each other without hitting a nerve. - Big cat and small cat. - Mass loves holding her I'm sure. He makes jokes about how she can fit in the palm of his hand. - Mary is like "that's my babygirl" while pointing to Mass. - I think they go on coffee dates. Mass is determined to get her hooked on Dunkin. thank you for the ask <3 i love them

Happy Valentines (early)

[amebelladonna]

The one thing I can say about the female IDV hunters is how they're a big family of sapphic ladies.

Mary and Michiko being a lovely couple who care about each other. Pretty sure even the survivors knew there was something between them as they were practically the most common hunters you meet in Duos (and are Robbie's official parental figures)

Violetta and Ann having their own wholesome moment, as they delve into reading Ann's favorite books and such.

Galatea and Grace, in which Grace would always be thrilled to see more of the sculptures Galatea did, and the latter getting too drawn to Grace, she somehow messed up with her work cuz "hehe pretty fish lady go brr"

And then you have Yidhra, bitching out on how romance is dead to her. (She's lowkey fine with it tho since I think she's aroace, but can you blame her with how there are THREE couples surrounding you smh?)

“cry for the moon: side H” musings

so i watched the hunter side of identity v stage episode 3 “cry for the moon” and i would like to let out my thoughts because there are so many of them and i do not know any better way of coping with my feelings.

spoilers for the stage play under the cut:

simply said, this production was leagues above episode 1, which i also hold very close to heart so you can imagine what episode 3 did to me. i’ve loved mary ever since i started playing the game almost a year ago, and to learn that there’d be an entire stage play dedicated to her. and not to mention that cecile daigo would play her role, i was already sold.

putting her character against eli, whose character (at least in the stage) is supposed to be this calm, supportive, empathetic person, i’d keep thinking how they’d pull it off, how’d they frame mary’s backstory, how everything would work out in the manor...i had so many questions. in the end, i came out so thoroughly satisfied by this stage. in fact, my friend and i cried multiple times watching this. it affected us THAT much.

story:

the story is a little straight-forward. mary is a queen who was executed by her own people. from my understanding, they didn’t allude to the revolution or anything, simply the fact that mary grew up in royalty and luxury, was taught to be high-headed, and self-centered, maintain that elite image. and in following this way of life, she ended up being extremely lonely, till everyone around her betrayed her and she was left to be executed. in the manor, now that she’s dead, she’s still very stubbornly insists that everyone treat her like royalty, that everyone else in the manor is beneath her, just so she could justify the pain from the loneliness and betrayal she felt. eli shows up, reaches out, the concept of ‘skins’ in the game is very cleverly used as a plot device, and the stage ends with mary learning about the Power Of Friendship(TM). she also learns to accept herself as a person, not as a ‘concept.’

i feel like the motives of the hunter main character seemed a lot more fleshed out. the connection to the survivor main character was established in due time, and all the pieces started fitting together as the story went on, something i found a little lacking in the first stage. like i said, it’s straight-forward and easy to digest, but still ends up tugging at your heartstrings.

characters:

mary’s characterisation was phenomenal. i’ve always been bitter about the fact that the game straight up copy pasted marie antoinnette onto her, but in the stage the creative liberties were put on full display. she’s her own character, with abundant past trauma which makes her cold and unapproachable. she’s so protective of her world view that she’d lash out on anyone and everyone who dares to change it. being called a ‘hunter’ makes her snap, makes her pissed, because she’s a queen! she always has been! there’s no way she could be standing along with other people! that’s not what she’s learned in her life time!

eli doesn’t have a lot of character moments because this was the hunter side after all, but he’s the same as the first stage. sees a lonely, recluse person, and wants to reach out. though the creators have stated that each stage is a different manor, or a different story, they’ve stuck to this characterisation of eli and i love it.

while the other hunters also had their parts, the more prominent ones were luchino and joseph. and joseph. oh goodness. his transformation from the first stage to now was something i craved for. he’s joking around with the other hunters, the other hunters also clown him pretty bad. he has a soft spot for robbie. the back and forth he shares with luchino also filled my heart with so much love. and most importantly, he’s the one who tells mary to embrace the present as it is, because holding onto the past will not do much. he fits the gap between eli and mary perfectly, and moves the story in his own joseph way. seeing him actually move on from his past and live with a healthy mindset, something we’ll probably never see in the game...it destroyed something in me.

joseph’s character also emphasises that in the confusion of whatever the manor wants from them, the hunters at least have each other. it was a very nice touch.

acting, direction, dialogue:

this is the part where episode 3 completely overshadows episode 1. cecile daigo is the star of this stage. she has once again won my heart. when she’s being cold, you’ll feel a chill down your spine. when she’s angry, you’ll physically feel that tension. when she screams and cries, you’ll have your heart sink. her dialogue delivery in any given situation hit in all the right spots. i’m still scared to go rewatch the guillotine scene because it was so incredibly painful to watch the first time.

not only that, but the way they creatively used this open stage which made the play seem so much more idv-like. the way they would place eli on one end of the stage walking in one direction, and mary would be on the other side walking in the opposite direction. or when the lights would follow them around the stage as they sang their duet, OR OR OR the way the actor playing mary’s mirror image would sync perfectly with mary, or even the way eli talks to mary in a soft, calm manner, knowing that she’s going through something very traumatic. it was all so beautifully done. the dialogues themselves were so impactful, we had to rewind some scenes just to appreciate the words properly.

music, costumes, misc:

the music. GOD the music. not only the hunter song, but also the score in the play itself. the fairy-tale like song in the fake world. eli and mary’s duet song. it was all perfect. in the end when mary returns to all the hunters with a change of heart, and ‘acclamation’ plays in the background i actually got teary eyed lmao. just the timing of everything was so spot on.

the costumes, just like the previous stage, were also perfect. mary rocking bloodbath while bride eli mopes in the background. the other characters in their alternate clothing was. something.

also. norton in a tux. phenomenal.

my personal favourite part from the alternate world was the dance, where i lost my shit two times: one, when i saw 0.3 seconds of fiopat and two, when i saw xiefan fist bump.

ty for the fanservice idv stage play.

as a milf enjoyer, i would’ve appreciated more of marymichi but i think this one screen cap alone is enough to fuel me for the next ten years.

gotta appreciate michiko for taking the shot at the start of the play. she missed terribly, but she took a shot and that’s what matters. go get your girl, michiko.

my review could be very extremely biased, though. sorry for ending on this note LOL. i love identity v so so much and i’ve invested myself in these doll characters way too much, so actually getting to watch my favourite characters TALK to each other, be part of each other’s stories, it may have slightly skewed my perception of of the play. of course, it isn’t without faults, but to anyone who loves idv, who loves mary especially, this is a must watch. i genuinely mean the praises i’ve given to this stage play and i do not regret spending my money on this.

i’ll watch the survivor side and the comedy stages eventually and i don’t know if i’ll be making reviews for those but i just had to talk about the hunter side.

thank you so much to the creators of this stage, to all the wonderful talented actors, and a big thank you to the new writers. this was more than i could’ve asked for.

hoping for a stage 4 with mary’s return xx

[amebelladonna]

I am always one for Michimary fics where Mary's just an extremely flustered bitch while Michiko doesn't really know how to take a hint that Mary likes her as something more than a platonic way of putting it together.

But boy when I saw the 4 minutes of screentime they had in the idv stageplay, I am BLOWN.

Now I want more fics of their stageplay dynamic, where Michiko's really kind to Mary and is willing to be friends with her for they're the only female hunters who appeared in the stageplay (Violetta only being mentioned in ep1 and Yidhra's definitely invisible or shit), whilst Mary is extremely hard to crack due to her cold demeanor, which is a cause of that ✨spicy trauma✨ from when she was queen.

It can go in so many ways, but when Mary finally realized that the past stays there, and that the present is what matters, she kindly offers up her friendship to Michiko and then you can take it from there <3
