I might be completely misremembering seeing this or making it up, but regarding your tags on the Flora Claire post, it could be implied that the Flora that plays with Souda is Maya's mother.
Oh yeah that's totally plausible and I thought about that too :D not a lot is known about Maya's mom but iirc she does look similar to Maya, so it's definitely a valid interpretation IMO. Also makes sense that the Tendos would then send their daughter to a school they already knew intimately too. Headcanon accepted
Hello!!! Thank you for the ask, always a pleasure seeing you in my notes!! :D
This got a bit long so I'm putting the Mono-Starlight-lore under a readmore ;)
2. what is your favorite quote from any part of revue starlight (anime, game, stageplays, movie, 4koma, credit card, etc.)?
(credit card lmao)
It may be boring to some people by now but this quote from ep 12 gets me every time. Every time I say "hehe this time I won't cry!! :)" and then I do
13. how did you get into revue starlight? how long did it take you to get into the game after watching revue starlight (if you did)?
Okay so I think I talked about this on stream some time ago or somewhere else but I'm always happy to tell the story again!! Long story short: pure coincidence of seeing a video on tumblr ca. april/may (??) 2020. It was a post rbed by someone I followed, sadly I do not remember anymore who it was. I didn't follow a lot of anime blogs at the time but some artists I followed back then had probably seen the show. It was one of those classic "xy has these cool things, why aren't you watching this show" type of advertisment posts for Revstar. Something like: It's gay, they have homoerotic sword battles and also the music is dope. And the video they posted was the very specific scene of ep 3, in the Revue of Pride, where Karen and Maya are fighting on the moving stairs and Maya nearly decapitates Karen. Of course, the Revue of Pride is one of the best anime revues so I was mesmerized. I went to look up the show in the tag and was immediately bombared with amazing Mayakuro fanart, because that's most of the content you'll find when you look up the show lmao (convincing argument, ngl). So I went into the show expecting Maya and Claudine to be the main characters (which they are not and shouldn't be, of course) but instead I was overwhelmed by a beautiful story about theater and love that I 100% did not understand the first time I watched. I will absolutely admit this. I think I even made some super early tumblr posts back then along the lines of "so at what point am I supposed to know what the fuck is going on lol". It was early quarantine, so I binged the show in 1 or 2 days I think. I thought it was nice but nothing more. A few weeks later I must have gone through the tag again, or just become interested in it again, and I rewatched the show. The second time, everything finally clicked into place. The timeloop, the way the revues functioned, why Hikari & Karen managed to win after all. I also looked a bit into Takarazuka then and found all these little connections delightful. I joined revuecord and watched the stageplays - and after that, I was 100% enchanted. So that's the story of how I became Starlit, lol.
As for Starira, I think I started playing it on my birthday actually, so that must have been the 17th of June 2020. Not sure about the exact day but it was somewhere around there.
I absolute love getting to read over my fic once it's done!!! There's a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment I like when I finally finish writing something to completion and I get to read my own food it's like damn I made this??? 😭
I also enjoy when I get into the flow of describing something and I can easily envision it in my head! And then I start bringing out all the descriptors in my writing and I love it fgjknfgjk
KoHisaSuzu (Revue Starlight) -> digging the vibes but not necessarily the ship for me. I love them a lot platonically and I like some combinations between them (KoHisa is very very good) but not all three of them, though I have read a bit of fic and generally like the idea!!!!
