[nemojokard-blog]

greetings everypony, it is I Nemo Jokard. I come offering my fancures for the fancuries .

Here are my main fanseries:

Nature Shift! Precure

The Four Seasonal Kingdoms of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter lived in harmony, protected by the precures. Until one of them went rogue. Regalia, the Winter precure, along with some other rogues, attacked the kingdoms with these monsters called Heartaches. The only one who can help them now is the Princess of Spring, Tupper who holds the 3 remaining seasonal keys. Can she find the new precure? (I don’t know, CAN SHE??)

Ayame Mizuki/Cure Vernal

Our resident pink cure of the team, she is spring themed. Ayame is a reserved girl who isn't great at socializing. She's a little lazy and tends to procrastinate, but she's trying to change that. She also panics on a daily basis and is in a constant state of screaming inside her head.

Kaori Natsumi/Cure Solstice

Our orange cure who is summer themed! Kaori is bright, energetic and seems to always be moving. She is kinda unreliable though and tends to forget things easily. She has a big sweet tooth and has a family sweets store called Natsumi♡Pastry. She's an optimist and can kinda annoy her teammates with her constant positive attitude. She has a bit of a competitive side.

Etsu Akino/Cure Fall (tumblr hates yellow)

Etsu is the yellow cure and mom friend. She's the one helping the other cures with their homework, scolding them, and discouraging them from doing bad things. Although she isn't without fault. She's very hardworking, which is good, but is prone to burning herself out with all nighters and club activities. She also tends to be the most passive agressive person ever. She learns to balance her life and leave time for herself.

Tulipa 'Tupper' Flora Leis Fleur Bouquet Laverne

Tupper is a meanie. She usually bosses the cures around and comes up with the strategies. She also gives the cures a lot of sass and criticizes their flaws. She obviously cares about them, she just sucks at showing it.

The fanseries themes are seasons, friendship, and change.

This was my first ever fanseries and I’ve probably done the most for this one. I’ve written ten episodes for them that you can read on Ao3 and wattpad ! (A rewrite of chapter 1 and chapter 11 are in the works !!)

Ahoy! Pirate Precure

About nine years ago, Umi Ishikawa met a mermaid! She's been obsessed with them ever since then and still carries the gift that the mermaid gave her. When her gift happens to be a treasure from the Cordelia Kingdom, she is hunted for theft. Suddenly a crab and parrot are talking and wait, is she transforming?!

Umi Ishikawa/Cure Ness

Umi is an airhead that is infatuated with mermaids. She's always wanted to live in the ocean. The mermaid obsession started probably when her parents went on a cruise and she was all alone by herself. Then suddenly she came face to face with a real mermaid. No one believes her tho. She loves swimming and wishes to live in the sea one day.

Yuzu Egawa/Cure Citrus

Yuzu is a sour girl who doesn't like much of anything. She's ready to sass anyone and everyone. Because of this she doesn't have many friends and throws herself in her studies as a result. She tends to be a know-it-all. Apparently she loves visiting the aquarium in her free time.

Nyoko Izumi/Cure Aurorus

Nyoko is a spoiled girl with a rich background. She's pretty annoying and tends to brag about her money. She's also very very competitive when it comes to swimming and often her & Umi compete. She's also a sore loser.

Shelly

The old advisor for Cordelia Kingdom. She's strict and crabby.

Parry

A parrot with powerful magic. It helps the cures in battle or sometimes it mocks them. Whatever Parry feels like doing.

The motif of this series is pirates and the main theme is treasuring life.

I don’t know when I’ll do more for this fanseries since it was originally made as a joke, but I might write it some day!

Beauty Guru Precure

The Queen of the Glamour kingdom was the Super Instant Influencer. She stood strong until the scandals attacked. She was dethroned, and in her last stitch efforts to pass on her wisdom, was to pass on her legendary Make Up Pallet to the Precure to fight the scandals. She handed it to Pinkity Drinkity her trusty snake.

Tomoko Ayano/Cure Guru

The first girl to awake as a Precure. Tomoko is an airhead with a bit of an ego. Her teammates keep her check. She isn't very smart, but tries her best! She's really into makeup and likes to experiment with different kind of looks. She transforms with the Aerie Lip gloss into Cure Guru. At first scared of Pinkity Drinkity and still kinda is. Lovingly calls the snake "Pinky."

Keiko Arai/Cure Blush

The second girl to awake as a Precure. Keiko easily embarrassed and has a short temper. She enjoys studying and has a one sided rivalry with Kagami. With the Periwinkle Compact, she transforms into Cure Blush. She loves Pinkity Drinkity to a fault. She calls her "Pink-chan."

Aimi Hitomi/Cure Shadow

The third person to awake as a Precure. She seems to keep to herself a lot and has a bad habit of bottling everything inside. Although when they are with Tomoko and Keiko, she seems to turn into a different person who can't keep their mouth shut. She transforms with the Goth Pallet into Cure Shadow. They so not lovingly refer to Pinkity Drinkity as Future Soup.

Kagami Ayano/Cure Cosmetic

Technically the actual first one to awaken. She helps the girls in a pinch, but always seems to keep her distance. She doesn't seem to want to get closer to any of the girls. An exception to this is Cure Guru, which the girls and Pinkity Drinkity find strange. (Of course this is because she’s Guru's twin sister, but shhhh, they don't know that.)

Pinkity Drinkity

The girls’ trusty snake partner in crime. She ventured out to find the legendary Precure and now that she found them, she’s a bit worried. She thinks the girls are too young to be fighting Madam Masquerade’s Scandals and fears for their safety. On the other hand though, she knows that the only thing she can really do is guide them as Precure.

Dragon Drinkity

Dragon Drinkity just screams a lot. She sometimes says wise things, but completely cracks under pressure. She was sent first to find the Precure of Lipstick and the Precure of Nail Polish.

The motifs of this series are angels and make up. The themes of this series are inner beauty and love.

This series also kind of started off as a bit of a one off thing. Might also get written someday but no promises!!!

Sew Magical

This fanseries is a crossover between lalaloopsy and precure! It admittedly no longer has a plot anymore but I did make some cute designs .

Live Laugh Love! Precure

Kasumi Ieiri is used to her simple life with her father where it's just the two of them against the world.. Well until it wasn't. Suddenly there's this whole new marriage and there's three random kids living with them! Tsumugi, one of the kids, is the same age as her, but that's where the similarities end. Tsumugi is quiet and you can never really tell what she's thinking. Kasumi is anything but quiet and is easily read.

However these two supposed sisters are now forced to work together when a monster comes marching at their front door and is terrorizing a poor helpless mascot who drops two items that resemble mood rings. The mood rings then fly onto Kasumi and Tsumugi, recognizing them as Precure! Kasumi transforms into Cure Haven and Tsugumi into Cure Comedy. They manage to defeat the monster and rescue the mascot! Who seems a little mortified about this whole development..

Omg new Nemo fanseries !? Admittedly this is kind of the first time im mentioning them and I haven’t thought abt them for a hot minute 👁️👄👁️💧 But perhaps I will work on them some day! Might even get around to drawing them. I really like duo seasons.

(the order is Kasumi, tsumugi, cure haven, and cure comedy)

Their only theme is Live, Laugh, Love.

And that’s all, folks!

I recycled a whole lot of it from last time but I hope you at least consider nominating me :]

[captainkurosolaire]

Voice

🎵 Theme Music 🎵  Stationed close below decks in the cargo in time’s passage. He heard the jailer pirate in the room silence a whining smaller voice cased in innocence multiple captives often sold and blackmailed if their names held wealth. Otherwise often they were auctioned. Wasn’t pretty but customarily. Lowly off breath, “Ugh got t’ feed these brats sum scrap’s.” Heading directly to the rations that Captain was in. When he enclosed in and put hands on the sides of the barrel. The seeker pushed up with all his momentum the lid flying and clocking the jaw of the matey of The Betrayer. Who staggered back clutching his jaw but only was on a teeter. Kuro stumbled out throwing the beady fishes in pelts at the mastodon. The cage prisoners were baffled and silenced in a yelp they held their mouths. “Ahoy oaf. How ye do?” Tipping his hat playfully before prying off his coat, “Take my coat would ye? Show some hospitality.” The large coat thrown over towards the visage man stumbling forward his steps were confused every action happening in flashes, footsteps disordered like a clueless dancer. Grunting, “While ye! I’ll ring yer throat.” He’d fling the coat away but the diversion was made. Searching around his lard figure. He’d lose sight. The Feline with agility and acrobatically was using his tail swinging off the top of the ship’s railing. He’d pounce down and land on the back and buckle his new steed. His virile muscular arms ripping through the sleeves of his dressed shirt. As he put in a choke-hold, he was admitting outmatched against something more imposing and larger, but that didn’t mean the Captain didn’t know how to counter them. He’d keep the pressure in and begin lulling a tune, “Hush little hearty, don’t ye cry, Cap’n gonna tuck ye in. Steal ye a wet-dream.” The brute flailed relentlessly but was already fading his arms trying to reach back and grab a grip but the Captain’s head kept weaving. He kept holding the sleeper-hold and restricting the flow. Until the Brute dropped to a knee slowly showing signs of pacification. The alarms needed to be sounded but he was cleverly restricted from it far too late. The giant fell face-first in planting to a black-haze of unconsciousness. This Pirate wasn’t a butcher. He just needed to apply authority to the misguided and dismantle the boards that stood in his main objective’s way. Removing the possessions of the fallen he’d find the key’s chained and start whistling off in a song towards the prisoners to liberate them out. He’d pry off his torn shirt and just wear his coat-over. As the cages were slotted opened and brokered the slavers were stunned and puzzled by a clear-as-sight pirate turning against fellow. He looked no-good like the remaining. Surprisingly one of the captives was a proud Maelstrom who would stop people from all bailing out towards the roguish man. Recognizing who stood before him as he was the one implored to post the wanted bounty on this man’s head but it suddenly went cold believing they captured the legitimate thing and held the head to prove it even, the coin even collected. This Seeker he saw a ploy understandingly a trick to capture off-guard and further torture the deprived. “Stay away! This man has no solace or heart. I personally saw t’ post him on the board. He’s treacherous, dangerous. A encroached pirate. -- Mark the skies and abide the tides, we shall know victory. The Chief Admiral wouldn’t leave us or my crew. The Seas is Ours.”  He spoke against villainy with a Maelstrom salute representing his City-State and quoting half an infamous his pledged-ruler. Stunned and baffled, Captain’s brow furrowing. “No heart...? Now that hurts, oi...” He’d follow with a torrent and flooded pipe-bomb as he was singled out and instantly put into another picture. His story constantly never heard because of the gap in deemed law and order. Confronting and stepping closer to this spoken Sea-Wolf. “How much of that 'red coat' of yours is spilled from the blood of you standing down? Or you gunning down my kind. You claim to be pirates but you r’ nothing but jailers. Ironic, cages find you here. Want to whine and try contemplating why your little squadron didn't come in a wrath of flurry for your sake, simple your disposable.

You've got notion mindset that the weak is always prey and eaten and the strong, ‘blah, blah,’ always prevails.

News flash; The strong gets eaten by stronger. I've met lowly flowers who'd ye think are something ye can push over, walk over, but they're more unrelenting than th' tides each petal sharper than what’s tucked between your legs. They don't buckle and they're not to be underestimated.

Painting yourselves as pirates, don't make me laugh! -- It's the same thing, I've seen before... You aren't any better than the crew who done you in here. You're after complete control and conqueror. You wanna devour the free and you expect us to sit idly-by. You expect us to be docile. T’ hold fear over you and the gallows but we smile even on the chopping block and that pisses ya’ off preventing you from carnal release. You don't own these seas there are far more greater inhabitants than you or I, that are connected to them.

From the Civilizations buried under the Depths, Sea Witches, Sirens, every Sahagin or unexplored dweller. Essences of th’ sea, your waves will always clash against others in opposition.

Think you're superior that the coursed ways can get you out of this mess and all the innocents behind you? Here, lead like you always do with force."

He'd prime and pull the bolt to a musket from the unconscious pirate and forcing it upon the Maelstrom's arms. Pushing it into his torso hard. On instinct and duty the Redcoat showed his unwavering emotion and put the gun in aim to the tantalizer. He wasn't about to be antagonized by this prick.

Kuro walked back up seeing a delay in hesitation and putting it up to his forehead the muzzle fearlessly pressing in squeeze to his skull. He was talking with eyes of rage fill in blood soak emotion there was no love-lost for how he perceived. He believed himself in every solitary word, like a key. They ripped the hinder of shackles. To open thoughts of being open.

The Scoundrel continued, "Anyone has power behind the barrel. Anyone can be empowering by a solution that was created for out of sight, out of mind. These consciousness and floaters they don't affect those who can pull the trigger. You want to show me, you don't need me? That these fellow lads and lasses can be protected from ME by your Kind’s ideologies. -- Show me!"

The Sea Wolf who was refined let out a relenting shout at the taunter in his own forced emotion being shown his digit close to connecting with the trigger but he felt his thick leg tugged, "No!" A chiming smaller voice of his nephew interjected. "Don't Uncle!" How this even happened it was clear to the Seeker Captain. This excuse of a Maelstrom went already against code and went to attempt to save their blood alone. Most likely he wasn't granted any additional aid or back-up. Met with an order that was nothing but fit with chaos one-tracked.

It couldn't be expected any less or more. These 'Grand Companies' people took their titles they wore them. Portrayed as harbingers of good in the public that somehow their morale's were above. But they acted on impulses and greed. They had sprouting of corruption and a nest of them. It couldn't continuously be overlooked.

A gulp and stammering of the mighty Roegadyn vocal cords expended as he recoiled his hand off the trigger from the shakes. He couldn't justifiably do it. Like potent poison the Captain struck with a serum there was no cure from once it seeped into the veins.

The Captain threw up his arms to the sides a little disappointment in a pouting shrug. "Superb. Now when ye get out of here. Tell yer Chief Admiral and all the other jockeys in the Maelstrom, they concerned over the sea swallowing so much, let them know, I've got something they can swallow from me." He'd jab once more lastly in daringly mocking their slogan.

In his provoke though the Roe became dampened from the words but still let them propel himself forward in a charge, but instead he shoved the Miqo'te off to the side and whacked upside the head with every bit of force to the skull of a pirate who could've set the alarm in their patrol. Planting another pirate of The Betrayer down to the canvas.

He turned towards the downed smaller Captain who was on his arse. Extending his arm out the Maelstrom looked coldly with resentment, "When we're out of this, you're personally mine. I will serve you on a platter and be the one who personally mutes that mouth." The freedom fighter chuckled off breathe his toothed-grin flashing, "Aye. Like I tell my favored companions often, 'come'." He coated of sinister put a subtle and distasteful line in accepting the rivalry.

Reeled back to his feet by temporarily alliance and truce. "Very well, now we're passed this whole bickering like a couple. Ye fall behind, safeguard th' people. I'll handle all the rest." He relight his visage with determination towards the stairwell. Taking the step forward like always in his own code.

Ranting about Kingdom Hearts III (cuz I just finished it, SPOILERS AHOY)

Follow-up post to: https://tompen94.tumblr.com/post/181689323487/ranting-about-kingdom-hearts-cuz-i-just-got-into

Okay... Uhhh... So that was... a lot to process...

I have finished KH3 with all of the chests and Lucky Emblems found. I tried my hardest not to just rush through the story, but I am not gonna pretend like I know shit as I am a pretty casual gamer. This is just an aggregate of my thoughts on the game.

If you want a review here it is: GET THE FUCKING GAME RN

I won’t be holding back any information. This is your official spoiler warning.

Spoilers below the cut (if it even works).

Gameplay

As I said in my KH Rant post (click the link goddammit), this was my first experience with the gameplay of the series.

It took some getting used to, my muscle memory kept telling me that X was to jump so I got stuff wrong in the beginning but I got the gist of it towards the end. Didn’t use as much magic as I wanted though, using the d-pad means not using the analog stick, which means remaining still in the middle of a fight while I decide which magic to use and, in the case of Cure, who to use it on. (Yes I’m aware of shortcuts and I used them but I still have to use the d-pad to change which set I’m using)

However, I liked the combat system in general. I’m sure it is something that comes with time and my issues with it can be honed out with more practice.

Wasn’t too hot on flowmotion though, at least in the beginning when you don’t have abilities like Air Slide. Using flowmotion in battle was pretty hard for me to do at first because of this. I had heard of how OP it was in DDD and I tried to use it a bunch in Thebes but because of my low success in even activating the thing properly, I stopped using it until I got to the Ice Labyrinth in Arendele. I started using it moderately after that.

The Lock-on laser thingy was something I thought I was going to use a lot since I had seen it being used pretty often in gameplay of the other KH games. However I barely used it. But it was pretty satisfying locking every beam onto a single target and then one-shot them with it.

Finally the situation commands. Loved them. My most used button other than X is the Triangle. Always use situation commands. It’s always a benefit. (Also Rage Form heals you and gives you super fast combos. Fucking neat!)

Favorite things and stuff

Favorite playable keyblade: Kingdom Key

Call me basic or whatever. The Kingdom Key was my main Keyblade and I barely swapped it out throughout the game. It is by far the weakest keyblade, I know. But I just like it so damn much, I kept it as my main. So yes, you can finish the game just with the Kingdom Key. If you don’t mind farming Adamantite and Electrum to upgrade it to the max, that is. I was planning to swap it out for ‘Dawn till Dusk’ but that was before I found out it was an Amazon pre-order exclusive (LAAAAAME!!!!).

Favorite keyblade in the series: Way to the Dawn

I like Riku’s new keyblade but Way to the Dawn looks so goddamn cool. Its look also tells a story, it’s an imprint of Riku’s character arc throughout the series. It’s a bit of a shame that they had him change it.

Favorite Worlds: Corona & The Caribbean

Corona is stupid pretty. And a fun world to explore and jump around in. I love how they recreated certain environments just for the scene of Rapunzel being at war with herself. You can actually go to those places! Also the Kingdom itself is just beautiful. Corona is the place I took most selfies on. Also:

(I will protect this smile with my life)

The Caribbean is basically its own game. Most worlds have one fun addition to the combat or the level design, like the Gigas in Toy Box, or even Rapunzel’s hair during the story portion of Corona. However the Caribbean gives you a ship and a whole new set of mechanics with it. It’s also a massive world, 56 goddamn chests to find. It feels so satisfying to sail to an island, get to the very end of it and find a butload of chests to open. Also Sora looks cool as fuck in his pirate costume.

Most disappointing worlds: Arendele & San Fransokyo

I wish it wasn’t so but Arendele wasn’t as much as I expected it to be. Don’t get me wrong, that ‘Let it go’ sequence is fucking phenomenal and I fanboyed out on it a lot, but the world itself isn’t all that interesting to me. You don’t even get to visit the Kingdom, just the mountain. And after you finish the story, the game teases you with Elsa’s Ice Castle, but guess what, you ain’t entering it either. Instead of the Ice Labirynth, I would much rather have had a level inside Elsa’s castle.

As for San Fransokyo, Why can’t I freely go to the bridge? Why is it locked to that one combat scene and then never seen again? And the city itself is confusing to traverse in. Even with the map I frequently lost track of where I was. The streets are also too wide, the only way to go through them quickly is if you’re a boss at using the Lock-on+Square thing, but I suck at it, so I’m just spamming dodge-roll to get through it a little faster than running. If the streets were narrower, it would be different, because then I could use flowmotion off of the walls and zip around like Deku was doing in the fight against Stain. Now THAT would’ve been cool. BGM is lit though.

Favorite characters: Sora & Riku

This is a topic I’m constantly changing my mind on, I like every single one of the main characters. Some more than others, yes, but I’m constantly jumping around between Sora, Riku, Roxas, Ventus, Aqua and Mickey. For now though, I’m going with Sora and Riku.

Sora’s a whole lot more chilled out in this game. And I really like that. In KH2 whenever he wasn’t trash-talking or involved in slap-stick with Donald and Goofy, he was moping around thinking about Riku and Kairi. It’s really nice to see him more carefree and I believe his character is greatly improved with this.

As for Riku, he’s kind of the opposite to Sora? I think his character shines the most when put under duress. We don’t see much of that in KH3, but we get plenty of it in the rest of the series. His constant struggle with the darkness makes for a pretty compelling character arc. Though I do think his peak was in KH2, when he was the ‘Get stuff done’ character alongside Mickey.

The Ending

And here we are... I still don’t know what to make of that ending... This story is filled to the brim with feel-good moments and then it ends on such a conflicting note for me. What comes to my mind is: Why Nomura... Why?

When Aqua returned to the Realm of Light and cried of happiness, I had the dumbest smile in my face.

When Ventus woke up and said “Good Morning, Aqua”, I had the dumbest smile on my face.

When the keyblades from the past came to participate in the ‘Rape-the-Triangle-button’ sequence of this game, I had the dumbest smile on my face.

When Terra (he did nothing wrong) reunited with Aqua and Ven, I had the dumbest smile on my face.

When Roxas returned, I had the dumbest smile on my face.

When Xion cried tears of joy on reuniting with Axel and Roxas, I had the dumbest smile on my face.

And then... at the end Sora fades away? What the fu-WHY? I actually still have a knot in my stomach over this.

Let’s put that aside for now, let’s not forget the fact that while the stuff in Back Cover and Union X did play an important part, it got fuck-all closure. Everyone’s chasing that Black Box but it amounted to nothing in this game. There are 7 new Princesses of Heart and we only see 3 of them. Also why couldn’t Luxu just be Luxu?

All of this could’ve been forgiven though. If everyone had a happy ending that is. But coupling all of this with Sora vanishing at the end... I can’t let it pass. This doesn’t feel satisfying. Goddammit Nomura!

Maybe this is just my knee-jerk reaction. Maybe I’ll see more positives in this ending over time, after I’ve digested it. But for now, this is how I feel...

I also have conflicted feelings about Xehanort’s redemption but I can stomach this one much more easily. While I don’t think adding this in was necessary, I also think it’s harmless. Giving Xehanort a ride off into the sunset instead of just a death is fine by me.

Some other things

Wasn’t it confirmed that Kairi would be playable? :(

Speaking of which, it certainly would’ve been nice to have some sort of Mission Mode a la 358/2 Days to be able to play as other characters. You only play as Riku twice and as Aqua once. Most of the MCs were fully playable at one point or another in the franchise so it would’ve been nice to be able to do so in some capacity in this game. Couldn’t you at least let me fight Terranort as the Lingering Will?

WHY DOES THIS GAME LOOK SO GOOD

I’m sorry if this felt like a bit of a downer. I guess I’m... grieving over Sora? Never thought I’d say something like that. I know that he “comes back” in the secret movie, along with Riku and... Yozora (I thought he was just a parody of Noctis?) and the Master of Masters. But I wonder how that ties into the Foreteller stuff we saw with XigbarLuxu. Also why is Riku there?

May your heart be your guiding key

Stealing from an nun, Catholic or Buddhist, is no shame for an pirate -Closed-

Continued from: https://fantasybots.tumblr.com/post/618405111871488000/ahoy-are-those-real-diamonds-that-make-yer

Captain Liz' Merrick of the Seadog Scur-Cure Pirates, and the leader of the pirate magical team of the crew, the Pretty Scur-Cure, though 'pretty' is an stretch, has trended in the holy grounds of Byakuren Temple, not knowing if Byakuren senses that she is an legitimate pirate, even with her get up. The pirate, with her yellow blonde dreadlocks and an glint that belongs to an true seafaring 'canine' of the seas, also thinks that the nun might see her as an cosplaying gal. So, she is prepared to lie with conviction if she has to in order to get the beaded necklace, which looks to be made out of green jade. To Merrick, just one green jade stone, raw or not, costs an fortune. 

So, 15 or 16 jade beads would surely land some serious ton-age of reales and escudos for her and her crew. But, she has to be careful with this sharp looking nun and that Merrick knows that even people in the outskirts of cities, towns, or even villages could have heard of the pirate being wanted for taking the ship that became the flagship for the whole crew, Shawn Noble, from English shores one day, making her worth 214,226,000,000 in Japanese yen, or 1,652,100,000 in English pounds, or 2 billion dollars in U.S. currency. 

"Well, I was jus' curious on that necklace, lass. But say, ye do 'ave an nice temple slab-dab in th' middle o' this forest here." She said with an smile on her face, though it can be described as ‘wolf-like’, like if an wolf were to ever smile.

I will go down with this ship: Chapter 5

Naruto had finally dressed himself in his pirate attire, he walked out of his quarters and looked over his crew. Karin making her way to the helm to change their course to Tsumi, Naruto placed his fisted hands on his hips and smirked at his crew. The clear, blue sky promising easy sailing.

"Ahoy, me Hearties! Avast ye!" Naruto called out, getting his crew's attention, "We be changing the plan slightly" Naruto stated, his crew all speaking at once before Naruto calmed them, "Don't worry, we'll still get our gold, but another way…" Naruto trailed off mysteriously, going over his exciting new plan with his crew. They eventually agreed, "Alright, what do you suppose we I go wake the beautie?" Naruto smirked, a rowdy cheer from his crew.

Naruto opened the stale, wooden door carefully, walking into the room where Sasuke lay on the straw floor. Naruto smiled lightly at the sleeping boy's form, his calm and graceful features flawless and almost cathartic. His body lifting up and down evenly, lost in the sweet slumber of rest. Naruto almost felt bad for awaking the sleeping beauty, but he needed him awake. Naruto bent down so he was perched on his ankles, he lightly shook Sasuke and saw the midnight eyes flutter open.

"Hey, love, you need to wake up now" Naruto spoke softly, Sasuke shifted before awakening properly and glaring at the blonde.

"Why do you disturb me while I rest?" Sasuke sighed irritated, Naruto returned it with a smile.

"To introduce you to the crew" Naruto countered, making Sasuke look incredulously towards him.

"Please tell me I misconstrued your words" Sasuke groaned, but Naruto shook his head and revealed a toothy grin.

"Nope, now come on" Naruto hopped up, offering a hand. Sasuke's natural instinct was to take it and let himself be lifted, sighing as he processed Naruto's instruction.

"Why on earth would I want to be associated with your crew?" Sasuke questioned.

"Because it's polite" Naruto answered, making Sasuke raise a delicate eyebrow, "What? What aren't you high-class type obsessed with politeness and stuff?" Naruto teased, Sasuke sighed and rolled his eyes.

"Fine, I suppose I should know what names to report to my brother"

"That's the spirit!" Naruto chimed, taking Sasuke's hand and leading him up on the deck and gesturing to his crew, who were in a structured line, waiting to be greeted. "Alright, love, meet the crew" Naruto exclaimed, both of them walking to the first person in line. "First, this is my brilliant sailing master, Shikamaru" Naruto introduced. Sasuke looked at the bored-looking boy and over his simple green shirt and baggy, brown pants. Clearly not giving much thought to his appearance, "It's quite funny how I met him actually" Naruto stated, beginning his story.

Story of Shikamaru and Naruto (3 years ago)

Shikamaru sighed and grumbled to himself as he looked over the crates that he needed to carry to the boat. The young 16 year old wasn't motivated to do what his parents ordered and conform to harsh labour, though the boy wasn't really motivated to do anything really. He grumbled under his breath as he picked up a heavy crate, he desperately wished he could just have a simple, untroublesome job to do. Something simple, not annoying. Shikamaru wasn't given the luxury of vision with the crate blocking his view and tripped over a stone. Nearly face planting into the ground when someone caught the crate from the other side, Shikamaru looked up to see a blonde-haired boy at the same age as him.

"Hey, man, you look like you're having some trouble, want some help?" Naruto offered, Shikamaru didn't have to do the math to know it would save him a lot of time, Shikamaru gave him a bored nod and they got to work. The entire time the two boys conversed and spoke like old friends; Shikamaru finding him loud, but funny. Shikamaru placed the last crate onto the boat and wiped his brow, finally satisfied it was over. Shikamaru let the nice breeze sooth him for a while, the calm before the inevitable storm. Shikamaru cracked an eye open when he heard a man shouting in the distance. He looked to the side to see he was no longer tied to the harbour, but a considerable amount of distance away from it.

"What the…" Shikamaru muttered, looking around to see he was not on the right ship, nor was the crates. Shikamaru turned his head to see the blonde boy smiling at him.

"Hey, thanks for helping me steal these!" Naruto thanked, Shikamaru blinked a few times when it clicked in his head what had happened. His father still at the harbour shouting. Shikamaru felt Naruto place an arm around his neck, "Hey, since your dad is pretty pissed off with you and you just committed a crime, how about you become part of the crew?" Naruto offered, Shikamaru sighed and placed his hands in his pockets.

"Troublesome"

…

Sasuke shook his head at the story, the strangest way he's ever heard people meet.

"Ha! Now he's my trusty sailing master, he's real good with maps and hard navigation" Naruto informed, Sasuke and him moved onto the next person who seemed like a mix of dog and man. His shaggy brown hair, strange face tattoos and canine teeth. "Meet Kiba, my master gunner" Naruto introduced, Kiba gave a carnal grin and tipped his head.

"Hey" Kiba leered, unsettling Sasuke with the sheer unadulterated confidence. His clothing consisting of brown, leather pants; brown boots, a dirtied white shirt and a black vest-coat. Finished off with a long, red cloth tied around his forehead. Sasuke noticed the large, white and brown dog that wagged his tail, who was introduced as Akamaru.

"Me and Kiba hit it off instantly and he became my Master gunner!" Naruto proclaimed, Kiba grinning in the same insane way.

"Damn right, Captain!" Kiba laughed, Sasuke cringed at their loudness and hoped the rest wouldn't be as much of an earful.

Story of Kiba and Naruto (2 years ago)

Kiba was walking with Akamaru, both happily strolling without much care in the world. That was the deal until Akamaru decided to suddenly take off without warning. Kiba spluttered in shock before running after him.

"Damnit Akamaru! You can't go off willy-nilly, you damn mutt!" Kiba yelled, following Akamaru onto a boat. Kiba grumbled as he boarded the boat and saw Akamaru being petted by some random blonde, Kiba approached him with a contrite expression, "Sorry about him" Kiba apologised, but Naruto shrugged it off like it was nothing.

"It's cool, I like animals anyhow" Naruto responded, stroking Akamaru who happily took the attention. Naruto looked up at Kiba and smiled, "So where you heading?" Naruto asked, Kiba shrugged.

"Nowhere" Kiba answered indifferently.

"My favourite place"

"Especially the food"

"The service is great"

"More so the view" Kiba replied, it was silent for a moment before Naruto smirked.

"We're going to get along just fine" Naruto stated.

…

Sasuke never heard of a more idiotic conversation, where do you even get the idea to start a rapport with someone like that? They moved on to the next person who seemed greatly excited and jumped.

"Hello, Sasuke! We've only met a few times, but I believe we'll be great friends!" Lee cried out joyfully, scaring Sasuke slightly, "Like me and Naruto!" Lee exclaimed, wasting no time in telling their story.

Story of Lee and Naruto (7 years ago)

Lee stood at the empty beach, looking at the setting sun without his usual happiness. He'd just received news that he was to be wed and he was having a hard time comprehending it. He sighed lightly and gazed over to the calm of the sea, wondering how much his life would be changed by marriage. It was serene and still, even when a stranger stood next to him.

"Hey" The blonde stranger greeted steadily, Lee turned to face the 12 year old and gave a small nod.

"Greetings" Lee responded, not in his usual ecstatic mood.

"I'm Naruto" He introduced, offering a hand. Lee took it and nodded.

"Lee" He responded, it was silent for a moment before Naruto handed him something.

"Hold this" Naruto instructed softly before running away, Lee watched confused as Naruto ran away. It was then that Lee heard a loud, angry noise. Lee slowly turned his head to the other side to see a massive hoard of people. He blinked a few times because most of them were covered in orange paint. Lee looked down to see what was in his hand when the crowd began to shout at him, Lee was holding a bucket that was filled with the remnants of orange paint.

It suddenly clicked in Lee's mind, he took off running and eventually caught up with the blonde who gave him a smile.

"Oh, hey! Sorry about that, I just didn't want to get my ass handed to me, but if it makes you feel better I only gave it to you because you look like you needed cheering up!" Naruto exclaimed as the crowd screamed behind them, Lee looked puzzled at him but Naruto gave his trademark 'everything goes sparkly' smile, "And what's better than pulling a prank with your friend?" Naruto laughed, Lee looked at the expression and processed the answer, Lee began to smile too.

Because Naruto made himself Lee's friend.

"Yes! Let us enjoy the pranking effects of youth!" Lee cried out happily, his past unsettlement cured.

…

Sasuke would have be furious if someone did that to him, but Lee was always a bit strange. It was confirmed when sparkles surrounded Naruto and Lee as they clasped hands in a victorious way.

"Team Naruto and Lee! No one can take us on!" Naruto laughed heartily "Love, this is my boatswain!" Naruto presented enthusiastically, Lee reacting with the same excitement.

"Yes! We will triumph over everything and everyone will see our amazing strength as friends!" Lee exclaimed, hurting Sasuke's ears. Sasuke was sure he would lose all hearing by the time he'd meet all of them. The next person was a large man with red and grey striped shirt; faded, green, calf-length shorts with several patches. This male also had strange marks on his face, but what drew the most attention was the fact that he was messily eating a chicken leg.

"Meet the one and only Choji!" Naruto presented in a showman's manner, Sasuke was left rather unimpressed, Choji stopped eating and gave a smile.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Ojo Sasuke" Choji greeted, always polite and caring of others even if he was a pirate. Sasuke was more satisfied to be met properly, so he returned it with a graceful nod.

"Alright, fancy-pants, no showing off, you're making me look bad!" Naruto joked, Choji went back to eating with a pleasant smile. "You know, love, he was a strange one to meet, but he's my rigger" Naruto chuckled.

Story of Choji and Naruto (4 years ago)

Naruto whistled as he went under the deck to grab some food supplies, they had been rather scare for the last few months for some reason. Naruto went through the first crate and was surprised to find nothing, he went through the next with the same results. He went through all of them before scratching his head in confusion, he suddenly noticed the man on the floor who was carelessly munching away at their food supplies. Naruto stared at him for a moment before walking upstairs, returning with his Captain.

"Er…Jiraiya, I think I knows what's been happening to our food…" Naruto stated, Jiraiya nodded.

"I see…" Jiraiya acknowledged, Choji giving them a mini salute as he ate, not frightened by stealing from pirates at all. "Well, it seems we have a new crewmate, we be needing a new rigger anyhow" Jiraiya stated.

…

Sasuke couldn't believe his ears. This man stole from them and they didn't care? They hired him without any background search?! And another thing, who was this Jiraiya? Is there another captain on board? These thoughts festered as Naruto spoke.

"Now that I think about it, that's kind of how we met Shino" Naruto realised, gesturing to the next person in line. Sasuke saw the mysterious man wore a long, grey coat. Revealing nothing but strange shades. Shino gave a nod, making Naruto chuckle, "We found him 5 years ago on our boat claiming that there was a rare insect on our boat and refused to leave, long story short he became our carpenter" Naruto shrugged, Sasuke sighing on the inside of the obscurity of it. "Anyway" Naruto changed, gesturing to the next person in line. "This is Tenten, one of my best A.B.S's" Naruto introduced, Sasuke looked at the smirking girl.

"Ahoy" Tenten spoke, Sasuke instead gave a judgemental gaze over her. Her brown hair in buns; high-waist, brown pants with a red sash around her hips. A loose, white shirt tucked in, buttoned down slightly. Black boots and a gold necklace.

"She and I go back a few years" Naruto stated.

Story of Tenten and Naruto (3 years ago)

Tenten's mighty sword clashed with Naruto's, they panted as they had been fighting for at least an hour. What for?

A sword.

The two had been in a weapons shop, both spotting the same sword and wanting it as their own, but using their swords instead of their heads to settle who had right ownership. Tenten swirled around and swiped a blow towards Naruto. Naruto jumped back and onto a small crate, lashing a blow down towards the girl. Tenten barrel-rolled out of the way before grabbing her knife out of her boot and sending it flying towards Naruto, Naruto ducked in time and grabbed a rope. Swinging over to kick Tenten down. Tenten was knocked over but quickly rolled out of the way of the incoming attack. She jumped back up and glared at the blonde.

"Give it up blondie, you're not getting that sword" Tenten hissed.

"Oh yeah, bun head? We'll see!" Naruto smirked, their swords clashed and clanged as they fought one another, Tenten moving out the way of one hit and the result being Naruto's sword whacking the wooden pillar. Naruto attempted to yank out the sword, but in the meantime he was vulnerable. Tenten swiped her sword but Naruto kicked it in time before it could do any damage. It was battered away and skidded across the floor. Naruto left his sword stuck in the wooden pillar and put up his fists, Tenten put hers up as well. They had a mini stare-off before lunging at each other.

"Oi" The shopkeeper called out, used to pirates fighting in his shop, the two looked at him annoyed, but he remained bored, "Before you two kill each other, I think you'd want to know that the sword was just sold" He informed, the two bewildered.

"H-How?! We've only been fighting for a few minutes!" Naruto exclaimed, Tenten had the same question.

"Actually, you two morons have been going at it for over an hour" The shopkeeper corrected, the two blinked and looked at each other.

"Well" Naruto started, "We failed" Naruto stated, Tenten nodding.

"Mm, usually I would have taken you down by now" Tenten proclaimed, Naruto nodding enthusiastically.

"Same! Geez, I must be getting rusty or something" Naruto sighed, scratching the back of his head, "Though I gotta admit, you got some sweet moves there" Naruto complimented, Tenten smirked.

"You too" Tenten responded, after that the two began to talk over moves and weapons, becoming friends quickly.

…

"Wait, so you two tried to slay each other and now you're all buddy-buddy?" Sasuke questioned, receiving a nod from both parties. He scoffed and shook his head, thinking it was insane. Another woman was next, one he recognised as they had met on a few occasions. "Temari" Sasuke acknowledged with underlying disgust.

"Princess high and mighty bitch" Temari retorted, Sasuke made a gasp and looked to Naruto for him to scold her.

"Ha ha!" Naruto laughed, but caught the deadly glare off of Sasuke, he gave him an apologetic smile but Sasuke refused it.

"I will not stand here and be insulted by disgraceful waste" Sasuke stated, turning around to go back to the room but Naruto laughed and got a hold of him.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't be so sensitive" Naruto chuckled, Sasuke sending him a glare in return, "It's just…part of her charm, okay love?" Naruto comforted, Sasuke sighed and stood by his side once more, "Think you can be a bit nicer, Temari?" Naruto asked with a knowing smirked, she rolled her eyes and huffed slightly.

"Whatever" She answered, making Naruto chuckle.

"She's my toughest A.B.S, we met last year"

Story of Temari and Naruto (1 year ago)

"Damnit!" Screamed another muscled man, defeated by the smirking girl who sat in the middle of the bar surrounded by men. She chuckled triumphantly.

"Come on boys, it's only little old me…can no one defeat me in a simple arm wrestling match?" Temari sighed dramatically, the men grumbled since she was the undefeated champion of Tsumi. Though a well-known man walked through the crowd confidently.

"How about me?" The blonde stranger said, the crowd instantly recognising him, Temari noticed how the men and few women were impressed with his presence.

"Fine" Temari answered, placing her hand in position as the blonde sat down and gripped her hand.

"You have lovely, soft hands, I can think of a better use for them" Naruto winked, Temari scowled at the flirty man and sent him a glare.

"Slapping the bitch outta you" Temari retorted.

"You read my mind" Naruto smirked, making Temari a little surprised since most men would be offended. She instead smirked as well and they began to arm wrestle. The crowd cheering and shouting at who they wanted to win, Temari didn't expect to struggle as much as she did, since she never struggled. Naruto was struggling too, but wasn't too surprised. Their arms were shakings against each other as it was clear that no one was able to win. "Wanna call it a draw?" Naruto asked with a smirk, Temari scoffed and refused. After the next 10 minutes, they had drew, much to Temari's dismay.

However, their competition lead to other games such as drinking the most in the quickest time, darts, holding up the most weight and they even went out the back to sword fight. They finished each one with the same result.

Draw.

They panted lightly as they finished their battle.

"You're not so bad…" Temari started before smirking, "For a pansy" She chuckled, Naruto smirked in response.

"You're pretty good at rivalling me, for a…" Naruto trailed off, Temari expected to hear the word 'girl' or some other demeaning insult, but Naruto placed his sword away, "Total badass, seriously, you're one of the strongest people I've ever met!" Naruto exclaimed, placing his fists on his hips. Temari slowly put her own sword away and smirked.

"Hn, men don't usually like that"

"Well, I am a pansy" Naruto chuckled, Temari laughed lightly in return, knowing that she liked this guy already.

…

Sasuke couldn't believe that an Ojo would partake in such activities, it wasn't right. Ojos weren't meant to be strong, only enough for child birth and that's it. No silly bar games or petty competitions. Those were left to the peasants, though he realised that Temari must sneak out to do such things.

"She's one of my strongest" Naruto informed, Sasuke gave an unimpressed glance towards her as they moved on to the next person. A white-haired male with a top akin to Sasuke's, except it was purple. His dirtied, white shorts with multiple belts and straps. His smirk revealed his strange, sharp teeth. "This is Suigetsu, my first mate" Naruto stated, making Sasuke's eyes fly open and look incredulously towards Naruto, Naruto understood and chuckled, "In pirate terms, love" Naruto clarified, settling Sasuke.

"Hey, your older brother knows Kisame" Suigetsu stated, catching Sasuke's attention, "He has a magnificent sword…" Suigetsu added, Sasuke shifted slightly.

"Yes, I suppose so" Sasuke responded, never really paying attention to swords, but he paid attention to the devious smirk of Suigetsu.

"I can't wait to take that sword and make shark-fin soup out of him…" He chuckled evilly, making Sasuke chilled to the bone. The menacing aura that surrounded him made Sasuke give Naruto a questionable look.

"He's a bit…involved with killing Kisame" Naruto explained.

"How did you even meet someone this off-putting?" Sasuke asked, Suigetsu stuck in his bloody daydreams and every so often chuckling.

"One day, about 3 years ago, I was running away from the navy because I took some…things" Naruto stated vaguely, Sasuke rolled his eyes at Naruto's criminal behaviour, "Anyway, I noticed that someone was running next to me and I saw Suigetsu, who also stole some…things…then after we hid from the navy, we got to talking and I thought he was funny so he joined my crew" Naruto explained, Sasuke would never associate himself with a criminal, willingly anyway. "Annnnnyway" Naruto stretched, moving them onto the next person. That being a very tall, muscled man.

"I'm Killer Bee, always on a rapping spree, you see Naruto and me? We gonna conquer the sea!" The man rapped, Sasuke looked at him and saw (A/N I know it's lazy, but I just want him in his usual outfit) his clothing. Sasuke was slightly intimidated from the large man and hoped he was the 'friendly-giant' type

"This is Killer Bee, he's also one of my A.B.S's, a really good one at that, he saved my life!" Naruto explained, Killer Bee nodding.

"That's right, I'm always up for a fight, coming with that bite, with the fire to ignite!" He rapped, Sasuke didn't know why the hell he rapped instead of talked, but he ignored it and regarded it as mental illness. "Naruto was fighting the navy's crew, he was alone and nearly through, but then I came outta the blue, we were rubber and they were glue, we were crazy with our kung fu" Killer Bee rapped, Sasuke finding it mildly entertaining.

"Ha! Then we got to talking, showing off as we were walking, everyone was gawking, knew we were rocking" Naruto joined in, Sasuke surprised by the sudden song between the two and thought they were crazy.

"When we come through you know the world be shaken'" Killer Bee rapped.

"Greatest combination since eggs and bacon" Naruto sang back, before both rapping in unison.

"Take us on you'll be forsaken and don't ya get that mistaken!" They laughed, Sasuke rolled his eyes, though couldn't help but like the sudden improvise skills. Naruto pointed up to the quarterdeck to where Karin stood at the helm. Steering it and giving a small glare.

"That's my cousin, Karin, she's my quarter master, my second in command, the hook to my captain, the dick to my Moby, the thorn to my rose, the fly to my fruit, the donkey to my punch, the bitch to my slap, the con to my pro, the-"

"Bastard! Why am I all the shit things?" Karin yelled, Naruto rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.

"Because you need the shit things in life to make the great ones shine!" Naruto answered, receiving Karin's boot in return.

"Shut up!" She screamed, Sasuke chuckled and thought that he could perhaps forgive her if she kept up the assault on the blonde. His thoughts were interrupted when one of the doors on the deck slammed open.

"I overslept! I overslept! I overslept! I overslept! I overslept!" Sakura called out, hopping up and down as she tried to get her foot into her boot, "I'm sorry! I overslept, I now we were meant to be ready for the switch and everything but-" Sakura stopped talking when she saw everyone staring at her, "Heh…um, hi" Sakura greeted embarrassed, Sasuke locked eyes with her and the air felt thick. Everyone sensed the tone and instantly walked away to do their jobs, beginning conversations and whistling to avoid the awkward conversation. Sakura walked over halfway, but halted.

"Well" Naruto started, trying to calm the tension, "I guess you two already know each other…um…but hey, love, what you don't know is that Sakura here is our surgeon" Naruto informed, Sasuke looked surprised at the girl.

"Surgeon...? Where and when did you gather the skills for that?" Sasuke asked in a scrutinising tone, Sakura shifted and wetted her unbearably dry lips.

"I…I've always been interested in medicine, I like to help people, so Naruto got me scrolls about surgery and medicine and let me train under a wise woman" Sakura explained nervously, not really looking Sasuke in the eye. It was silent between the trio before Sasuke spoke.

"And how did you two become acquainted?" Sasuke grinded out, folding his arms.

The story of Sakura and Naruto (2 years ago)

Sakura was crying and sobbing as she walked through the street, she had just met her future husband and couldn't believe it. The 45 year old was cruel, mean and horrible. Sakura had run away when her parents and the man went to a private room. So Sakura ran away and didn't stop, so now she was in the poor part of Konoha, she wished to find her dear friend Sasuke. Though she knew that he was on a trip with his brother, she turned a corner into an ally and was met after a few paces with a brick wall. She huffed and turned around, only to see three gruff men.

"Looky here, lads, we got ourselves a pretty little thing" The man chuckled, the other two with sinister grins. Sakura's eyes widened and stood frozen as the men approached her, she snapped out of it and tried to run, but the men grabbed her effortlessly. "Aw, where ya going? Don't you wanna stick around, little girl?" The man leered, Sakura tried to wriggle out of their grip and scream, but she couldn't do anything as the men began to rip her clothing. She cried as she expected to be defiled in the worst way possible. She closed her eyes and tried to ignore the roaming hands when suddenly.

"Oi!" A voice called out, getting everyone's attention, Sakura saw a blonde-haired boy about 16 and felt a flicker of hope. The men looked evilly towards him.

"Get outta here, brat!" The man hissed, the blonde smirked and dashed forward, his sword plunging through the man's stomach. He let out a yowl of pain and Naruto withdrew his sword and swiped at the other man's neck, slicing the windpipe making the man choke on his own blood. The final man was delivered a blow to his federal artery in his thigh, making him bleed out. Sakura panted lightly as the dead men surrounded her.

"Hey" A kind voice said, Sakura looked up to see the blonde boy offering a hand, "I'm Naruto" He introduced, Sakura took the hand and felt the reassurance of his smile.

"I'm Sakura"

…

Sasuke was silent. Conflicted. Happy that the death of those men were painful, but to what had Sakura been then lead into? Sasuke was looking at Sakura who seemed ashamed, Naruto shifted and tried to change the mood.

"So…" Naruto started, attention now on him and he spoke, "I dreamt about smooching you, love" Naruto winked.

I realised that after this chapter the dates were all messed up. But er, Naruto is 19/20.

Nemo Fancuries FYC:

Yello! My name is Nemo Jokard (or Nemo the Memo, doesn't really matter), or Nemo for short. This is my very first fancuries!! Today I'm going to be talking about all of my fan precure projects, but mainly the one I'm writing right now, Nature Shift Precure.

Nature Shift! Precure

Here's a little synopsis on the series.

The Four Seasonal Kingdoms of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter lived in harmony, protected by the precures. Until one of them went rogue. Regalia, the Winter precure, along with some other rogues, attacked the kingdoms with these monsters called Heartaches. The only one who can help them now is the Princess of Spring, Tupper who holds the 3 remaining seasonal keys. Can she find the new precure?

spoiler alert, she does and here the idiots are.

Ayame Mizuki/Cure Vernal

Our resident pink cure of the team, she is spring themed. Ayame is a reserved girl who isn't great at socializing. She's lazy and tends to procrastinate, but she's trying to change that. She also panics on a daily basis and is in a constant state of screaming inside her head.

Kaori Natsumi/Cure Solstice

Our orange cure who is summer themed! Kaori is bright, energetic and seems to always be moving. She is kinda unreliable though and tends to forget things easily. She has a big sweet tooth and has a family sweets store called Natsumi♡Pastry. She's an optimist and can kinda annoy her teammates with her constant positive attitude. She has a bit of a competitive side.

Etsu Akino/Cure Fall

Etsu is the mom friend. She's the one helping the other cures with their homework, scolding them, hugging them, and discouraging them from doing bad things. Although she isn't without fault. She's very hardworking, which is good, but is prone to burning herself out with all nighters and club activities. She also tends to be the most passive agressive person ever. She learns to balance her life and leave time for herself. 

Tulipa 'Tupper' Flora Leis Fleur Bouquet Laverne

Tupper is a meanie. She usually bosses the cures around and comes up with the strategies. She also gives the cures a lot of sass and criticizes their flaws. She obviously cares about them, she just sucks at showing it.

If you wanna learn more about these dorks, their story is being written on AO3 and Wattpad!

The fanseries themes are seasons, friendship, and change. While seasons aren't the most original motif, I think they're still really cool which is why I used the motif for my first fanseries. The references are kinda old though.

Ahoy! Pirate Precure

About nine years ago, Umi Ishikawa met a mermaid! She's been obsessed with them ever since then and still carries the gift that the mermaid gave her. When her gift happens to be a treasure from the Cordelia Kingdom, she is hunted for theft. Suddenly a crab and parrot are talking and wait, is she transforming?!

Umi Ishikawa/Cure Ness

Umi is an airhead that is infatuated with mermaids. She's always wanted to live in the ocean. The mermaid obsession started probably when her parents went on a cruise and she was all alone by herself. Then suddenly she came face to face with a real mermaid. No one believes her tho. She loves swimming and wishes to live in the sea one day.

Yuzu Egawa/Cure Citrus

Yuzu is a sour girl who doesn't like much of anything. She's ready to sass anyone and everyone. Because of this she doesn't have many friends and throws herself in her studies as a result. She tends to be a know-it-all. Apparently she loves visiting the aquarium in her free time.

Nyoko Izumi/Cure Aurorus

Nyoko is a spoiled girl with a rich background. She's pretty annoying and tends to brag about her money. She's also very very competitive when it comes to swimming and often her & Umi compete. She's also a sore loser.

Shelly

The old advisor for Cordelia Kingdom. She's strict and crabby.

Parry

A parrot with powerful magic. It helps the cures in battle or sometimes it mocks them. Whatever Parry feels like doing.

I plan to write this series on Wattpad and AO3 when I'm further along with Nature Shift! Precure.

The motif of this series is pirates and the main theme is treasuring life. 

Beauty Guru Precure

The Queen of the Glamour kingdom was the Super Instant Influencer. She stood strong until the scandals attacked. She was dethroned, and in her last stitch efforts to pass on her wisdom, was to pass on her legendary Make Up Pallet to the Precure to fight the scandals. She handed it to Pinkity Drinkity her trusty snake. 

Tomoko Ayano/Cure Guru

The first girl to awake as a Precure. Tomoko is an airhead with a bit of an ego. Her teammates keep her check. She isn't very smart, but tries her best! She's really into makeup and likes to experiment with different kind of looks. She transforms with the Aerie Lip gloss into Cure Guru. At first scared of Pinkity Drinkity and still kinda is. Lovingly calls the snake "Pinky." 

Keiko Arai/Cure Blush

The second girl to awake as a Precure. Keiko easily embarrassed and has a short temper. She enjoys studying and has a one sided rivalry with Kagami. With the Periwinkle Compact, she transforms into Cure Blush. She loves Pinkity Drinkity to a fault. She calls her "Pink-chan."

Aimi Hitomi/Cure Shadow

The third person to awake as a Precure. She seems to keep to herself a lot and has a bad habit of bottling everything inside. Although when they are with Tomoko and Keiko, she seems to turn into a different person who can't keep their mouth shut. She transforms with the Goth Pallet into Cure Shadow. They so not lovingly refer to Pinkity Drinkity as Future Soup.

Kagami Ayano/Cure Cosmetic

Technically the actual first one to awaken. She helps the girls in a pinch, but always seems to keep her distance. She doesn't seem to want to get closer to any of the girls. An exception to this is Cure Guru, which the girls and Pinkity Drinkity find strange. (Of course this is because she’s Guru's twin sister, but shhhh, they don't know that.)

Pinkity Drinkity

The girls’ trusty snake partner in crime. She ventured out to find the legendary Precure and now that she found them, she’s a bit worried. She thinks the girls are too young to be fighting Madam Masquerade’s Scandals and fears for their safety. On the other hand though, she knows that the only thing she can really do is guide them as Precure.

Dragon Drinkity

Dragon Drinkity just screams a lot. She sometimes says wise things, but completely cracks under pressure. She was sent first to find the Precure of Lipstick and the Precure of Nail Polish. 

The motifs of this series are angels and make up. The themes of this series are inner beauty and love. 

This series will also be written at some point!

Sew Magical Precure

The peaceful residents of Lalaloopsy Land have been turned into a bunch of dolls by an unknown illness.. Now most of their parts have been scattered across the world.. Some of them have even been turned into monsters.. A few girls, boys, and enbys are bonded to a certain Lalaloopsy then via magical mascot become Precure. Now it's a matter of time of finding all of the residents and putting them back together again.

Beatrice 'Tris' Spellman/Cure Bea

Beatrice Spellman is a massive nerd. She loves to ramble about a lot of the things she watches to anyone who will listen. Since many people do not want to listen to her ramblings, she doesn’t have many friends. She’s also a bit of a know-it-all. She also can be extremely nosy and likes to help out.

Sophie Moore/Cure Spot

Sophie Moore is an artist constantly on the lookout for inspiration. She usually is sketching in the margins of her notebook instead of actually writing notes. They tend to lack focus when it comes to school work and prefers to just do their own thing. Sophie wants to go to art’s school but her parents want her to become a doctor instead. They can be extremely clingy.

Dorothy 'Dottie' Starr/Cure Starlight

Dottie Starr is a spacey person who doesn’t really participate in the conversation very much.  She is very fascinated by zodiac signs and the first thing she’ll ask you is your birthday. She has an interest in learning about space and wants to know more about it. She is also very blunt and can sometimes hurt feelings without realizing it.

Peggy Thompson/Cure Peanut

Peggy Thompson is the class clown who always disrupts every class she’s in. A lot of people find her annoying, but a few people laugh at her antics. She’s also a huge prankster but sometimes takes it way too far. Surprisely very insecure.

Julia Roberts/Cure Jewel

Julia Roberts is the one whose recruiting the cures. She became a Cure recently but is too busy doing actress things. In her free time, she mentors the cures and gives unsolicited fashion advice. She’s scary when she gets angry.

Buttons

The teddy bear thing that’s giving the Precure their powers. They are kinda rude and sassy, but this is mostly because they’re missing their Lalaloopsy companion. They hope the Precure can help save their partner.

The motif of this series is Lalaloopsy. The themes are childhood, growing up, and friendship.

This series was made because I really loved Lalaloopsy.

[Also most of these cures have designs, but Tumblr is kinda being a tad annoying rn. You can find most of them on my blog here]

That's all for now!

Please consider nominating me ^^
