i think can see why people hate nozococo (as much as i don't really care, it's the age gap and the fact that... girl that's your fairy) but ehh looking at the ship sincerely makes me go

honestly Coco is so boring too... Nutts was more interesting, Milk was insufferable. but truly i think the only likeable fairy from Pretty Cure 5 was Syrup tbh

"oh so then who do YOU ship with Nozomi?" don't even ask lad

[crystem]

I know a lot of Precure fans might hate me for this, but whatever.

Listen, whatever your feelings are on the ship are fine to have. You can like it, you can dislike it, you can even outright hate it...

But you all have to stop acting like Nozomi is still fourteen in Otona when it comes to the NozoCoco stuff. Nozomi is twenty-six in Otona. Yes, Coco met her a while ago, but she is twenty-six. Stop saying things like "That's a child" about (Specifically) Otona '23 Nozomi. She is an adult. She is a teacher. She is twenty-six.

I don't actively hate NozoCoco, so if you don't wanna follow people like that, don't follow me. I'm just annoyed that so many of you are calling an adult woman a child when she's an adult on-screen and an adult when the marriage occurs. That is an adult. I have seen way too many people calling Otona Nozomi a minor when she's twenty-six.

Otona Precure!

I finally watched the whole season and here are my highlights:

Bunbee had the best character development. From an enemy in Yes 5! to a motivational speaker. I know his actual job is being a salesman but his speech was wonderful to say the least. He might be my favorite redeemed villain in Precure. I really enjoyed seeing him!

I love Nozomi x Coco. I'm so happy for them. They always support each other and they are partners for life.

Urara's song made me feel nostalgic. I wonder why she prefers acting in theater over music, cinema or TV? She really has so many options.

Kurumi's troubles made me afraid of corporate environment. I want to quit teaching and go abroad but I can't imagine myself being in a corporate like that.

I could also relate to Karen's patient. Being in a hospital for a long time and doing physical therapy is painful. I hated when I had to do this so many times. If my followers read this, PLEASE DO NOT TAKE YOUR HEALTH AND MOBILITY FOR GRANTED.

Komachi's interest in history and learning new things made me excited for her.

I never watched Splash Star, but Saki and Mai seem as close as Mirai and Riko. I don't believe their straight relationships will last long. They can just be with each other instead.

I hope there will be more sequels and more mahou shoujo series aimed for adult audiences.

I want a sequel for DokiDoki and Go Princess. Regina deserves to be a Cure and I want Haruka x Kanata to be together.

Hugtto needs a prequel with the Cure Tomorrow gang. I wonder how their future got so bad they had to travel back in time.

Antis DNI - Block the tag "comship" if this causes discomfort.

Remember, you are voting for the ship you prefer, not the ship you find more problematic

Propaganda for both ships under the cut.

NozoCoco Propaganda (Species Difference - Nozomi is a human while Coco is a weird chinchilla fairy thing, Age Gap - Nozomi is 14 while Coco is an adult, Originally AdultxMinor, Originally AdultxTeen, Originally TeacherxStudent)

"While the Nozomi of the current day featured in Otona Precure is an adult, she first met Coco back in Yes! Precure 5, when she was 14 and he was an adult, working as a teacher at her school to keep an eye on her after a fated encounter. She'd end up protecting Coco, and saying what she wanted most in the world was to help Coco's dream of saving his kingdom come true.

Through becoming a Precure, Nozomi would have stereotypical cliché anime couple encounters with Coco, such as him landing on top of her and causing her to blush immensely, or him crawling into her bed in human form to wake her up when her mother walks in - before turning back into his fairy form to hide that he was ever in Nozomi's room.

In a later episode, Nozomi is struggling to study, getting 18% or lower on tests, and failing to retain any attention towards the study group, but seeming excited at a hot air balloon outside, which is when she runs off. Coco is the only person to follow her, taking note that she liked the balloon, he asks if she'd like to run off in that direction to ride it. During their talk, Nozomi opens up, mentioning that she feels like she's useless and can't do anything - Coco gives her an immensely heartwarming talk about how even if she takes longer to retain information she's not interested in, she's smart when it comes to her interests - she's great at making progress with what she likes, and that's not useless.

In GoGo, the two reunite - and over the course of the season they become much closer, with Nozomi bringing up how close she wishes to remain with Coco and Coco coming to terms with his reciprocation. They have an umbrella sharing scene in a christmas episode, with umbrella sharing being a large trope in anime for romantic couples! On top of that, in the Yes! Precure 5 GoGo movie, Nozomi and Coco share the first and only on-screen Precure kiss on the lips!

In Otona, Eventually time passes, and while they've been separated for a while something brings Coco back to Earth, but he's trying to avoid Nozomi because he doesn't want the inevitability of going back to the Palmier Kingdom again to hurt her further.

Everyone but Coco himself recognizes that what Nozomi needs most is for Coco to say and talk out their feelings with each other - so much so that his friend Natts punches him to get the statement through, and his friend Milk/Mimino signs an apartment lease for Coco immediately once she learns it's directly neightboring Nozomi.

they talk out their feelings and become officially married in Otona, so these two end up a canon married couple! With Coco being king of Palmier Kingdom, and Nozomi becoming Queen Consort thanks to the marriage!"

Arthorin Propaganda (Toxic Dynamic)

"For anyone who hasn’t seen Little Shop of Horrors, Orin is a sadistic and abusive dentist who gets off on causing others pain and Arthur Denton (otherwise known as Bill Murray to those who don’t know Little Shop well enough to know the character’s name) is a masochistic patient of his who makes him extremely uncomfortable with his enjoyment of his dental torture. If comfortable with scenes like this, I would recommend watching the fairly short scene that showcases their dynamic if you haven’t seen it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XB7R0ZxNgC4) because it’s hilarious and one of the more iconic scenes in the movie. Plus the explicit queer rep (in the form of Arthur at the very least) in an 80s movie is cool, and the narrative presents him as being weird because of his masochism and not because of his queerness. There’s already some subtextual evidence of Orin not being straight with how he physically dominates Seymour and clearly gets very excited about this and the idea of hurting him, and the contrast of how he interacts with another man who is clearly uncomfortable with this and a man who clearly loves it is interesting.

This difference can be read as a joke about sadists and masochists being surprisingly incompatible and/or as an insight into some interesting aspects of Orin’s character. With Orin being so incredibly hypermasculine, I like the idea of him essentially worshiping at the altar of masculinity and having some very thoroughly shoved down insecurities about needing to be as masculine as possible due to a combination of his naturally enthusiastic and aggressive personality and growing up/living in a society that heavily prioritizes masculinity and sees masculinity ‘tainted’ by anything resembling femininity as not real masculinity (1930s-60s America), and his extreme discomfort with providing sexual pleasure even when the actions that are providing it can also benefit him can be read as a demonstration of this, since the conceptualization of women as being of the gender that is ‘for’ sexual pleasure and men as being of the gender that should receive it exclusively that he would’ve picked up as a significant part of his worldview in this reading would naturally cause him to be viscerally uncomfortable with providing sexual pleasure.

The fact that Arthur is a man compounds this, since gayness and gay sex acts were often seen as feminine at the time. With Seymour, he can pretend to himself that he’s just defending his ‘property’ of his girlfriend who Seymour has a crush on ‘as any man has a right to,’ and Seymour’s reaction of fear helps with this, but Arthur in contrast inadvertently forces him to come face to face with his deeply rooted fear of not being masculine enough instead of being able to mostly shove it down like he normally does by causing him to want to ‘outcompete’ him ‘as a man should’ by torturing him until he no longer derives sexual gratification from it, thus temporarily trapping him in the actions that are bringing up this insecurity for him. Arthur, of course, ‘wins’ by deriving even more sexual gratification from what Orin is doing, thereby eventually forcing him to ‘surrender’ by kicking him out, which he responds to by attempting to frame this ‘surrender’ as him kicking a man who is failing to follow his rules out of ‘his territory’ ‘as a man should’ and then taking his anger out on Seymour/attempting to reestablish his masculinity by conquering another man, which is a great setup for a very tense confrontation between one of the villains and the main protagonist and is very ironic considering that Orin is acting pretty gay as a way of trying to make up for doing something gay.

Plus with Seymour arguably kind of wanting to be Orin in a way in order to be properly masculine for Audrey/so that she’ll want him (as shown by him stating through a metaphor of wanting his Harley machine, a symbol of masculinity, to be like James Dean, a symbol of masculinity, in order to make other men jealous, which again ties into the behavior of outcompeting other men that men were/are expected to do, after seeing him drive off with Audrey on said Harley machine/metaphorically take possession of her due to him being ‘properly masculine’), Orin himself essentially being whipped into a frenzy by those same notions of what is ‘proper’ masculinity and then attempting to torture and maybe even kill him is an excellent metaphor for how destructive that desire of his could end up being and really goes to show that no one wins when it comes to restrictive gender norms, even those who are good at performing them and like them."

Otona Pretty Cure Spoilers! How do you feel about NozoCoco being canon and them marrying?

I’m happy for them! 😊

I feel 50/50 about it. It has it’s pros and cons.

I don’t like it, but eh. I’m happy for them anyways, at least for Nozomi.

Hate it! One of the worst endings ever.

I’m…indifferent on it, but whatever makes Nozomi happy I guess.
