I honestly have no idea how I want shironia's Blooming Kingdom spinoff to play like it's obviously a prequel to Blooming Kingdom and Shironia probably has to save Avilandia from the evil Evil Squad who are trying to revive an ancient evil from a hat so shironia must go adventuring to stop them and at the end they return to the Blooming Kingdom right before the actual game starts (and at some point loses the Bird Gun? probably on the train) but like. how would it play. I was thinking something puzzle-based rpg-y. but that's all I got AND IT WOULD BE CALLED "SHIRONIA'S STAR" AND NOT ACTUALLY SAY "BLOOMING KINGDOM" BUT IT WOULD BE IMPLIED
i haven't talked about glompy's prism jumps yet in the pr au but i should
so i will do that now
-Stardust Splash
it's the normal "splash" jump but with three yellow stars that kind of look gelatinous
-Bouncy Rainbow
a giant mushroom is summoned from the stage, and glompy falls from the sky, bouncing on it, and then he lifts an umbrella he's holding to the sky and he opens it, and suddenly a rainbow appears behind him as the camera flies backwards
-Fizzy Poppin' Rocketeer
hundreds of giant soda cans appear on the stage, and glompy is standing in the center of them. he is very excitedly shaking two cans. suddenly, he tosses the cans up and spins around.he catches them, and they burst open. then he and all the cans ROCKET THE SKY with multicolored fizz and they all collide and explode
glompy has like a compulsive need to suck and/or gnaw on stuff so it's not uncommon to see things he owns have teeth marks on him (usually it's like any form of plastic-y card) he probably bought a pacifier online and uses it when he needs to calm down or as a comfort object or something and he's probably really embarrassed about it
glompy probably steals mimi's lipstick a lot (does mimi even have lipstick) "GLOMPY FUCKIN STOP" "NO MY MOM HAS NO BRIGHT COLORS AND I HAVE TO LOOK CUTE TONIGHT"
aoke probably forgets to do a lot of his schoolwork and does most of it immediately before it's due mikuru does it diligently but he didn't always have the right answers but at least he's prepared AOKE yamada does his perfectly but also inconsistently. he still gets the highest grades of all the boys while not giving a shit hibiki is a panda
Glompy probably has a few tattoos when he gets older Not like A LOT but he gets "Panda Hero" on his right arm and the Aikatsu Pop symbol on the left of his lower back and it's really cute
"K-Kuru..." "Eh? Glompy, what's wrong? Are you crying?" "I-I...I fell asleep on the train...I-I'm in Kyoto..." "W-What!?" "C-Can you come pick me up? I-I'm scared..."
i should probably talk about the festival modes in sweet boys (aka glompy listens to too much innocent purification)
they're basically like the sweet boys (+hibiki) version of innocent forms and in order to do it they first place their cure keys into their respective transformation items that i don't have names for and then say "Precure! World Stage!" which summons the world stage which is this really big clover-shaped stage made of four glass circles and the enemy they're purifying trapped in the middle
then they shout "Precure Festival Mode!" and insert the Festival Cards/Keys/I don't know what they'll be yet into their transformation devices and the light on top goes through the respective colors of the cures (brown, white, yellow, pink) and then flashes rainbow colors and then boosh the cures are now in FESTIVAL MODE
then they start singing whatever song is equivalent to innocent purification (festival purification? brick'd) and then aoke's all like
"Your tyranny ends here, villain! No matter how hard you try...no matter how hard anyone tries! The forces of darkness will never take the light of deliciousness from this world!"
"The sweetness in everyone's hearts...as long as we Pretty Cure exist, that sweetness will never disappear!"
and then everyone joins in
"May your bitter heart become eternally yummy! Precure Sweet Festival Infinity!" and then everyone flies into the sky covered in their respective colored-light and they nyoom back down onto the foe and crash and then land on the World Stage and wave their transformation devices about and it's kind of like fresh precure because that purifies the enemy more and then there's a really big light and the enemy is now purified and then one of the cures faceplants into the ground (usually aoke)
ok so the blooming kingdom is this really big kingdom full of flowers and stuff and is ruled by Queen Lilia, Queen Rosa, and Queen Irisia, who used to be really famous and amazing adventurers and stuff like that and now they rule the kingdom
one young guard who they've taken quite a liking to for no discernable reason, Mimi Kurumi, a Belltier with the air of a princess. she gets sent from Hanano Castle on a mission off to the town of dandelions, Fuwafu Village, to take care of a monster infestation problem and gets roped into a series of events that ends with them fighting the goddess of destruction who attempts to destroy Yggdrasil. Also there's lesbianism and "Hot Orc Monthly"
SO HERE COMES THE FUN PART
i imagine it'd play like a combination of a Tales game and the Atelier games? like overworld exploration is that of Tales and even has the cute little mini-cutscenes and the monster blobs that are actually like four but the combat is turn-based and revolves around having only three active party members
the classes are Belltier, Winnmite, and Sentie, and they're not as weird as they sound. Belltiers are jacks-of-all-trades (trades being close combat, magic, and alchemy) but usually specify close combat and alchemy, while Winnmites are mostly magic-based but with decent close combat, and Senties revolve around magic as well but with a larger emphasis on alchemy.
Mimi is a human Belltier and her Primary Weapon (aka the weapon she starts with) is the Blossom Rapier and her Ultimate Weapon is the Aschenputtels Folie Rosa (which is also a rapier) (she also gets a joke weapon that is the Yuri Grimoire that renders any enemy that gets hit with it 'Charmed')
Glompy is a nekomata Winnmite and his Primary Weapon is Mjolnir's Cousin (which is a large mallet that becomes a staff depending on the attack) and his Ultimate Weapon is Donner Schwanensee (which is also a large malletstaff) (and his joke weapon is the Hot Orcs Monthly Omnibus that Enrages foes and lowers their defense)
aaand Shironia is a raijin Sentie and her Primary Weapon is the Staff of Sky (which is a staff with the raijin drums looping around it) and her Ultimate Weapon is the Schicksal Schneewittchens (which is simply the drums that she wields like a floating chain now (think any of the rosaries from okami) (and her joke weapon is the Bird Gun. it's a minigun that shoots birds. the birds are unharmed but still.) She is also the only character who can summon things, namely a cardboard cutout bird that has a chance to kill any and all threats to Shironia on the field.
also all the different ocs make it in the game as npcs. like the sweet boys run a bakery cafe, the blooming girls run a flower shop/armory, the summertime days cures own a card shop, all that.
the game also kind of plays like persona!! not really, but you can choose to hang out with particular people and that'll boost their performance in battle or they'll give you a rare item or maybe even unlock their ultimate weapon!! also cute cutscenes are cute and at one point along shironia's storyline you find glompy's stash of Hot Orcs Monthly magazines and unlock some ~SECRET CGS~ (all of which are Mimi, Shironia, and the cardboard cutout staring at you condescendingly)
ok but hanakotoba au where cure lilae, cure lupine, cure tagetes, and cure daffodil (i cant come up with good cure names) have to fight against the phantom empire generals hydrangea, penthus, and columbia
hihi i fell in love with kuru’s alternate bara to iris ending and i need more phantom empire general mimi (or hydrangea???? funny since i drew no hydrangeas in this)
WRITE /HAPPY/ LEOKENTA AND/OR TORIDORI FOR ME PLS I NEED INSPIRATION
Significant Other
WC: I'M SORRY
"Aaah, Chidori's so cuuuute!" Kitori blushed, burying her face into her hands. It was hard to contain her love for her birdy girlfriend. And as she sat there, applying today's lip gloss. Well, she didn't normally wear lip gloss. Kitori Hoshizora didn't have time for that. But today...was a special occasion."You think Chidori's cute? You should see Kenta!" Leonard said from across the room, picking out today's sunglasses. Unlike Kitori, he wore these every day, but he needed his SPECIAL ones. For this SPECIAL occasion. "Him and his lil' bear ears...duuude...he's just so cute, I can't stand it!" The blonde yelped, banging a fist into the desk."Oh, you wanna bet!?" Kitori giggled, standing up and walking over to the door and leaning against it. "One time, I saw Chidori..." She paused, closing her eyes. And in a flash, she opened them. "Being adorable!""That..." Leonard stared at her through shades for a moment, before standing up. "Isn't that normal for her?"Hm..." The brunette thought, before sitting up. "I...suppose you're right.""Now as for KENTA!" The yellownette pointed to the sky, puffing out his chest proudly. "He, he being the bae, the bae being Kenta, fell asleep in my lap yesterday! It was positively ADORABLE! A CAVALCADE of CUTE!""...Leonard, we were all there. He drooled on your crotch for an hour and then we had to lift him off of you so you could go home."
"...Yeah, well, what about that time Chidori had a cold and she went to kiss you and she SNEEZED in your mouth!?" Leonard shot back defensively, crossing his arms.
"Oh, don't go there unless you're re...ady to fight!" Kitori shouted, stomping towards Leonard. A fight quickly began, mostly just yelling about embarrassing thing that the other's significant other had done. In this entire time, neither of them thought to check the door to make sure two particular hybrids were listening.
"...Did you really hock a loogie into Kitori's nose?" Chidori asked flatly.
"Did you actually...you know what, I'm not gonna say it, Chidorin. Let's just...leave. I think Kitori just threw a chair."
And so the two scrambled away quietly, only returning to their beloveds when they had to pick them up from the infirmary.
leo probably drools a lot not like a RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF CONSTANTLY TORRENTING DROOL but sometimes he's just not paying attention and a little dribbles out of his mouth he also winds up soaking the bed significantly more than most people when he sleeps
"Eh? Kuru-chan, what is it? Do I not have enough Pokedolls?"
SO THIS BEAUTIFUL PERSON INTRODUCED ME TO THIS MARVEL AND I'M HAVING FUN
glompy would totally flood his base with pokedolls and he always makes a big deal about making sure it's in a high up place as a "vantage point" (he likes staring at clouds)
“I just...I just think she’s perfect for me!” Glompy said, excited sparkles in his eyes. Those same excited sparkles in his eyes he got whenever he glanced at Shironia. Mimi’s gaze softened, but she didn’t let her smile falter. No. This was for her friend. She wouldn’t stand in the way of him like that.
“I...I think she’s perfect for you too, Glompy!” Mimi stood up. “Let’s go talk to her!”
“W-What!? Are you insane!?”
“If I was insane, you would be an amputee by this point. Now, let’s go!” Mimi chuckled, grabbing him by the hand, and dragging him over to their bluenette friend.
“M-Mimi! Wait!”
“Oh Shironyaaaan~!”
“Huh?” Shironia said, turning around to face the two behind her. “Yes, Mimi? Glompy?” She asked in her usual soft-spoken way. The pink-haired girl turned around, watching the blonde nearly melt in her gaze. She rolled her magenta eyes, before turning back to Shironia.
“Yes, Glompy has something he’d like to say~!” She hummed sweetly, before roughly shoving the taller boy in front of her.
“A-Ah, uh, um…” The blonde stammered, looking left, right, up, down, and every single other direction in an attempt to avoid her gaze. But Shironia quickly managed to lock his amber spheres into place.
“Yes, Glompy?” Shironia giggled, tilting her head to one side sweetly. God, she was so cute. Mimi wanted to just shove Glompy out of the way and propose to her on the spot. But no. Her friends mattered more to her than that. Chances are, she’d reject him anyway.
“Uh...uh…! P-Please, I beg of you!” Glompy suddenly bowed as low as he could, which was still about to Shironia’s neck. “Go out with me!” There it was. Mimi closed her eyes, waiting for the piercing rejection.
“...Sure thing, Glompy!” WHAT. WHAT THE FUCK. HOLY FUCKING FUCK. Mimi opened her eyes, trying not to look as shocked as she was. “That sounds...really fun! I’d love to!”
“Waaah, really!? W-Wowie zowie! Y-You won’t regret this, I swear!” Glompy smiled, turning to Mimi. Fuck. If that didn’t sever her heart, the absolute shine in his smile certainly did.
“I-I’m so happy for you, Glompy!” Mimi chuckled, quietly crossing her fingers behind her back. Oh, she felt so awful for hoping it wouldn’t work out, but she still wished it more than anything.
---
All the cheering. The crowds, The confetti thrown. Shironia in a flowing white and blue gown, Glompy in a tuxedo of black and gold. The excited hurrying out of the chapel into the limousine below. It seemed like just yesterday they were two lovestruck teenagers, in their beanies and jean jackets and listening to their eight track tapes. Mimi had been named “best man”, or, “best person” as she preferred. Not that she preferred much of the whole event. She watched the duo stumble out of the chapel. First, Shironia, followed by Glompy at a slightly more wobbly pace. But he stopped, turning to face the pink-haired girl in her exquisitely pink gown. He took her hand, and smiled.
“K-Kuru...I just...I want to say thank you for everything. W-Without you, I wouldn’t have gotten to be here, on this day. I...I owe you my life.” Glompy said, the dopiest grin on his face. Mimi smiled, biting back all the hurtful words she knew she shouldn’t say, couldn’t say.
“No problem, Glompy! You know me, matchmaker Mimi Kurumi! Now…” She flung her hand in the direction of the limosuine. “Go! Your bride awaits!”
“...” Glompy stared down the stairs below, before turning back to Mimi. “...Thanks, Kuru.” He smiled, tears in his eyes, before practically leaping down the entire flight to bounce into the vehicle. Mimi watched it drive off, and the smile very quietly fell off her perfectly-glossed lips.
“...Yeah, thanks. Thanks for taking her away from me.”
