Rara avis.

[lyralumina]

~ ✨ My favorite thing about Aikatsu! on Parade is the fact that both Akari and Yume are the most grounded protags of the bunch (I’m excluding Mio from this, sorry Mio fans/stans). Ichigo, Aine and Raki will be yelling and going crazy but both Akari and Yume are sitting there at a table together trying to have a conversation about work. They’re also tired from said work and having to deal with the others. ✨ ~

As happy I am that I got to see my darling Ako again I'm very dissapointed, but not surprised, at how cucked she got stage wise.

Yume: Here have a gander at my new Premium Rare and cute matching dresses with Koharu plus I'm gonna do a special collab with the new guys!

Mahiru: oooooh pretty Star Premium Rare solo performance and tons of Gushing from our new plucky protag.

Ako: oh...um...fish? Yeah make them giant fish and then throw in that super old stage from like season one of Aistars. A PR? Nah she doesn't need her sun dress or special dress she used in the s4 selection either just gimmie that repeat stage an call it a day-

Bandai: Stop saying we have favourites! We love Pure Palette and all the other not-Pure-Palettes equally!

[pygmyjerboas]

The entire Aikatsu Friends cast except for PP: Ya know, the show writers treat us like gods.

Pure Palette: How so?

Everyone else: They ignore our existence until they need something from us.

Re-watching “Aikatsu Stars!” is bad for my heart. Miss them so much...

[pygmyjerboas]

Ichigo Generation: Ichigo has to srtuggle here and there, with her actually failing in a performence.

Akari Generation: Akari sucks at being an idol at first and only improved slowly overtime.

Aikatsu Stars: Yume has some struggles.

Aikatsu Friends: AINE AND MIO ARE GODDESSES!!!

Hermitage Cats

The guardians of the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russian Federation. 

Originally brought to the museum in 1795 from Kazan by order of Elizabeth of Russia, following a plague of mice that had begun eating away her art collection, where only twice has the museum been left without its guardians, the first time in WW2 during the Siege of Leningrad, which decimated the population, and the second in the 60′s, where the museum decided to evict the cat population, only to revert the decision shortly after the mice problem returned.

We were robbed of Yamazaki in Western dress and honestly I’m still not over it

I’m SO excited for Aikatsu! 5th Festival! Can’t wait!!!

[precure-stuff]

This entire line would then be wasted for an entire season

The only reason Coco wasn’t allowed to sing her song was because she would unleash the true power of Ichigo-sama to this universe. The voice and the song, both finally showcased. Aikatsu would collapse from the singularity.

Gothic Idols Rant (kinda?)

@BN Pictures give us a unique goth idol who does NOT look like a mixture of the previous ones.

Ngl I like Sakuya, but that “every aikatsu universe MUST have a gothic idol” trope is getting repetitive and unoriginal.

If you think it’s hard to make a unique design/character, let’s check out LoLi GoThiC’s users besides Yurika and Sumire.

While the silver-haired girl never showed up on screen, the purple-haired one is Michiru Kurosawa, one of few background Starlight students whom I still remember. Why? Because of her image.

Look at her. She surely has a gothic vibe, yet she doesn’t look like other gothic main idols. Even her profile art is mysterious. I wish she had more screentime like Yuna had in EP12 of OGkatsu. (hi I’m still furious she and Rin are not sisters, it would have been an interesting pair of cool siblings)

Then we have Reika Yuuki, Akari’s classmate.

She doesn’t look like a LoLi GoThiC’s user at first sight. According to her Photokatsu’s card, she’s scared of ghosts, therefore she can’t even meet Maaya Yumekoji (LoLi GoThiC’s top designer).

However, before our mighty main idols occupied Top 8 of Starlight Queen’s Cup, Reika was on top. Therefore, she’s the best Starlight idol among non-main idols. I think that’s really impressive. 

And now we have Sakuya. (pic is rendered by @jajachanx3 )

What does she have in common with previous gothic main idols?

Yurika: Sakuya’s dress that was revealed reminded me of Yurika’s Capricorn Premium Dress, and I think Luna Witch is going to be the next LoLi GoThiC in Aifriends universe. It’s also mentioned that Sakuya’s acting skills are good, and Yurika plays her vampire character convincingly. (I won’t be surprised if Sakuya is the one who said she came from the Moon) 

(Btw before meeting Ichigo and others, Yurika was also very shy and lonely)

Sumire: While fortune-telling skills were kinda forgotten, Sumire’s debut was good with all these mystery encounters with Akari. Sadly we didn’t see much of them after that. 

At the same time, Sakuya’s voice seems to be similar to Sumire’s.

Lily: Personally, I just feel Lily’s vibes whenever I look at Sakya tbh. Maybe it’s because of Sakuya’s facial expressions that remind me of her, or her ombre hair.

In conclusion, I’d like to say one more time that I don’t hate Sakuya as a character. She hasn’t even debuted yet. I like her. What I hate is that the gothic idol trope is becoming repetitive even in creating a new character design. I’ll be glad to be wrong if Sakuya somehow manages to break that gothic idol trope, but for now, she seems like the next Gothic Aikatsu Idol™ to me.

[precure-stuff]

How did you feel when they decided to clone her into Kaguya? Also thoughts on Alicia?

[crimson-shell]

Nothing? 

I mean, at that point I kinda dropped Aikatsu Friends BUT from what I’ve seen I totally sensed some Yurika’s vibes in Kaguya? Not sure if I’m right though. 

As for Alicia... I haven’t seen Kagayaki no Jewel’s episodes, so for now I feel nothing to her.
