my college semester finally got to an end, and i'm going to be on holidays until march probably!!! today is our runaway to celebrate the semester's end. i'm excited and anxious in a good way.

oh and tell me more about it! which one is the source material?

ありがとう! I hope you enjoy all the excitement coming up for you too

About the fic’s source material,

It’s Jewelpet Magical Change (Season 7). I remember you saying you didn’t watch past Season 1 because the differences between seasons were overwhelming, and Magical Change is a lot in that area /lh, but I’ll try to describe it well enough

So first of all it’s called Jewelpet Otona for reasons you’ll see later

tl;dr: Magical Change kinda upsets me because it doesn’t take itself as seriously as it should and it presents a lot of interesting story concepts it does nothing with as a result. More specifically because MC’s version of Ruby, who would be the lead, is too lazy and easy-going to actually do the protagonist things she’s supposed to do, so the story never goes anywhere

So I made an AU where, as a result of all the things she didn’t do, she and her friends didn’t have the power and experience they needed and didn’t tie up all the loose ends that would’ve made the story’s happy ending last, and because of that something really bad happens in the future and someone from that bad future travels to the past to train Ruby to be the kind of Otona that can lead everyone to a better future. And that person be

And the reason it’s called Otona is because Otona is the Japanese word for Adult and it has a story about the struggles of adult life and not letting go of childhood things that made you happy going into adulthood

And it takes a lot of inspiration from Precure because I love Monster/Victim of the Week-type storytelling and wanted to really emphasize that this ain’t your grandma’s Magical Change /ref

And the way that works is that the method of time travel the person used is really easy to replicate so a bunch of Jewelpets from the future (The lesser villains. In Precure terms, they would be akin to characters like the Notrayders or Duskateers) are sent to the past to find him because the source of the future incident doesn’t want the timeline where it successfully took over Jewel Land to be erased. And the Pets it sent are also tasked with spreading it’s corruption to the past

And before I get into how that works, another tl;dr:

Magical Change (the original canon version) has this special item called the Magical Stone that can resonate with people’s strong feelings and whoever touches it while it’s active gets turned into a human, which gives their Jewel Flash a huge magical power boost

And the Magical Stone still exists in Otona’s future, so the overall villain made dark copies of it called Dark Stones, that can sniff out the tension of tense situations and use it to create monsters called Hachamechutos that represent the source of the tension (So like let’s say the situation is a cat stuck in a tree. A Hachamechuto created from that would be a living tree-shaped cage with the cat trapped inside. Every episode will present a problem a character has and the battle will be about them overcoming it)

(And the name “Hachamechuto” is a combination of the words Hachamecha and Chuto Hanpa, which mean “Chaotic” and “Half-hearted” respectively)

And when these monsters appear, Ruby not only gets her human form, but also transforms into a magical girl on top of it this time and becomes Otona Ruby, and then she beats it up and uses her Ruby Explosion Punch to finish it off and everything goes back to normal

That description is missing a lotta details and is pretty much only true for the first half of the story because I wanna reveal everything in the fic itself, but I’m just past the middle of my MC rewatch right now so it’ll hopefully be coming up soon
