MAGICAL GIRL TRANSFORMATIONS DON'T HAPPEN IN REAL TIME YOU FREAKING IDIOTS.

I am so sick and tired of people asking "So THe viLlaIns JusT wAIt For THeM tO FiNiSH????" or trying to come up with a super complex answer as to how it works, when there's there's the simple (and very logical) explanation that they're actually super quick. Do you think that when we get super long flashbacks the characters just stand there staring at nothing until the flashback ends??? NO OF COURSE NOT. THAT'S STUPID.

The sequence is there to represents how it feels to transform and look pretty. AND I'M TIRED OF SEEING PEOPLE NOT REALIZE THIS. DID YOU NEVER WATCHED POWER RANGERS AS KIDS???

PD: If you're not aware, Israel has been commiting an active genocide on Gaza/Palestine for around 4 months now, they've killed thousands of innocents including babies under 1 year old. This is not a new thing either, Israel has been terrorizing the Palestinian people for over 7 decades now!! You can find lots of information on how to help just looking it up or going to #palestine here on tumblr

Any help, as small is it is, counts. So please, even if there's just ONE way you can help, do it. Wheter it's donating a little, signing pettitions, marching, boycotting etc.

From the River to Sea, Palestine Will be Free🇵🇸🍉

#ok sorry this is so aggresive but it's been bothering for a very long time #the only series with real-time “transformations” is Ojamajo Doremi as far as I know #and maybe Shugo Chara? #I saw a screenshot of Amu transforming infront of other characters #sailor moon #precure #pretty cure #tokyo mew mew #mermaid melody #mahou shoujo #magical girl #magical girls #jewelpet #sakura card captor #cardcaptor sakura

Was today years old that I learned the Shugo Chara guardian mascots are named after the members of 70's girl group Candies

So yeah Shugo Chara is so brilliant as a magical girl property because of how down to earth it is and also how Amu herself is incredibly unique when it comes to protagonists in this essay I will-

#shugo chara #i will need to talk about it someday #maybe when I get my video essay YouTube channel rolling

[nagilicioussodelicious]

In the same vein of last week’s post-

#shugo chara #does nadeshiko count? YES maybe idk it all depends on your interpretation

[taldigi]

if I want "totally average girl interacts with magical faeries that reflect the inner-self and has a romantic interest in a boy who also transforms into a cat boy and embarks on a quest of self-discovery" I hate that my only options are ML and Shugo Chara

#except iirc shugo chara ended with her getting together with the adrien-lookin character #so its not a 1-1 #my point still stands #also the whole incest thing is ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm not great so ML gets a point #wait maybe not cause like if Fathom and Kagami are sentis and fathom considers sentis family then #holy shit #im having an epiphany

[smashtheshell]

how is shugo chara from 2007 omg. how can anything be from 2007

#one of the things about aging i think is that your childhood isn't real #actually 2007-2008 were like the years when i went thru life-changing events #but like the fact that i was also watching anime in 2007 and one of the shows i watched was shugo chara. that's not real #or like maybe it's not an aging thing maybe it's a mental illness thing. idk

My absolute favourite thing about Felichat is how dumb he's being when trying to get Ladybug's attention. Like, it's not like he tried to do a "hey babe" smoulder, but then failed. He's just... dumb.

Even in anime the "cat boy" trope is pretty often a trickster, teasing, and kind of ~alluring~ (like Ikuto from Shugo Chara), but Felichat just looks super silly all the time (except for the snow scene and final battle scene in the PV).

I mean, sure, it was just one scene in the PV so maybe it's a one-off thing, but still. Look at him just being completely confused.

In my head I imagine him saying like "Is 1 rose not enough? Should I get you 1000?" and Ladybug just going "WTF no, that's not the point"

I’m rereading Shugo Chara (it’s been years and the nostalgia I feel is immense) and I’ve got to be honest…

I think Amu and Ikuto is the funniest ship in the whole world.

Like, they just like each other. They like spending time with each other. Amu is genuinely comfortable around him until he starts flirting, then she’s mostly just kind of exasperated. All of Ikuto’s interactions with her are based on cats. He brings her food (human can not hunt for themself) and he lays on her (human is the most comfortable pillow) and he teases her (human must be kept on their toes). Like, he’s just a big ol’ cat and I love it.

But also, the manga is fucking hilarious.

When Kukai is graduating and everyone’s saying goodbye and Tadase asks “When I’m in trouble, can I talk to this picture I have of you?” When they’re all talking about what happens around springtime and Ikuto casually says “Being in heat. Because we’re cats.” and Amu’s respons is “Can he say that in this manga?” And Sensei… “Why are you still teaching here?” “I do have credentials.”

Ikuto is the funniest character. He brings cookies because he broke Amu’s tart. He brings ice cream because Utau dropped Kukai’s ice cream (and maybe Amu’s? I’m unclear) ((how did he even know that that happened? Does he have a sixth sense, “Someone just ruined my human’s meal. I have to fix this immediately.”)) He always shows up with a bag of food and just drops it on Amu, then leaves. He came here for one reason and one reason only, and it was to drop off food, bye.

My favourite part of the manga is Nadeshiko/Nagihiko. I love Amu’s comment early on “Nadeshiko changes so fast!” I love Temari, who just repeats “my kimono will get dirty.” And when they’re crawling through the vent or whatever, and Temari is crawling while still covering her face with her sleeve and says “my kimono is getting dirty.” Hilarious. I love Temari so much.

I love that Nadeshiko is Amu’s best friend. They are besties. The extra where Nagihiko breaks out of his house to spend time with Amu? Perfection. Nagihiko holding Amu’s hand, and when she points it out to him, he just goes “Oh yeah. I forgot I’m different today.” I love Nagihiko, he’s the best. The whole explanation is totally wild and honestly baffling, but I love Nagihiko and his weird ass family all the same.

I liked the show a lot as a kid, and I liked the manga even more. I think Amu and Ikuto are adorable. I think it’s funny that the characters don’t act like any elementary school students I’ve ever met (including the ones who were in elementary school with me). I like that Kukai is everyone’s favourite, and he’s just so chipper. I like Tadase’s wish being to conquer the world, and everyone agreeing to help him with it because “It’s fun :)” I especially like that Amu is consistently and constantly judging the capes.

Maybe it’s nostalgia colouring my view. Maybe I’m biased because it made me laugh a couple times. Maybe I just like Ikuto and Amu being comedic foils to each other. Whatever it may be, I really enjoy the manga. Would I recommend it? Yes. Would I recommend it if you’re going to be pissed by the age gap? No.

(“The age gap is so problematic!” But have you considered that they are funny?)

Okay but what if we *did* shrink Desmond. What if Desmond ended up in some kind of stasis/liminal space until The Right Time (ie whenever plot convenient), at which point the Apple cracked open like an egg and revealed a four inch tall, very much alive Desmond.

I don’t know why but I just imagined Desmond being a chibi similar to the Guardians from Shugo Chara and now I’m just imagining that Desmond can connect with someone he is related to by blood and impart to them the skills and knowledge he gained using the Animus.

It meant that connecting to him ensured that that person had access to Desmond’s memories, seeing them similar to a film but in a blink of an eye and they can only see what Desmond wants them to see (unless Desmond’s emotional state is unstable, then there’s a chance they will see whatever Desmond is thinking about without Desmond meaning to).

And because he was cracked from the Apple, effectively destroying it, the timeline needed to shift and make up for the ‘loss’ of an Apple.

How?

By making Desmond have access to the information stored in the Apple he cracked from.

And… its ‘defensive’ capabilities.

Which meant that Desmond had been turned into a POE/Animus/human hybrid of some kind.

Unorganized Notes:

Desmond doesn’t know that he has the Apple’s capabilities until the ‘user’ asks him questions he shouldn’t be able to answer.

For Altaïr, he ‘hatched’ after Altaïr used the Apple to calm down the people of Cyprus before they mobbed him. This gives us a chance for Altaïr to form his own ideas of what the Apple is and shatter it in front of him by hatching Desmond out of the blue. This also gives Desmond some time to freak out because Altaïr has to deal with the Templars in Cyprus so he can… sorta chill… sorta… before they return to Masyaf. (or, you know, he can join Altaïr and Maria on their ‘roadtrip afterwards instead)

For Ezio, Desmond hatched after Ezio finishing watching Minerva’s message (up to you if you wish to keep Minerva’s message the same or change it to reflect Desmond’s current situation). Desmond and Ezio could start to bond during the travel back to Monteriggioni and Desmond can warn Ezio about what’s to come as well. Maybe Desmond’s POE powers also reacts when the Papacy army looks like they’re about to (or when Cesare is about to kill Mario) to hammer in the ‘divine intervention’ subplot.

For Ratonhnhaké:ton, it would be funny if he hatched after Washington pushed the Apple to Ratonhnhaké:ton after the end of Tyranny of King Washington but that would mean that Washington would see him. My suggested alternative would be that Desmond hatched just as Ratonhnhaké:ton was about to throw the Apple to the sea and he heard the cracking so he opened the back just in time to see it hatched. Because Desmond seemed harmless and seemed to know him… Ratonhnhaké:ton doesn’t throw him and instead takes him back to the homestead to talk to him.

No Edward or Haytham because we’re not sure if they ever encountered an Apple.

However…

Ezio’s Apple that Desmond took from the vault and used is still with the Assassins. Its last known ‘location’ was with William Miles.

Does this mean that I’m suggesting he hatched during that time?

No.

Instead…

A thief steals the Apple while William Miles is busy in the Animus…

This thief takes the Apple and runs away.

Once he’s back in his own hideout, he hooks the Apple up in this contraption that looked like an cyberpunk eldritch horror with its many wires and monitors.

The entire machine whirls…

The Apple cracks.

And when Desmond hatched, he is greeted by a young man who looked so similar to him…

“Hello, Desmond Miles. My name is Elijah.”

With the Shugo Chara sequel announcement we have yet another one of the big magical girl properties covered with new installments. So now it's

Sailor Moon - remake, faithful to manga (anime)

Cardcaptor Sakura - sequel (manga and anime)

Ojamajo Doremi - is about young women who grew up watching Ojamajo Doremi and now get to meet the Ojamajos (movie)

Mermaid Melody - sequel about Lucia’s daughter (manga)

Tokyo Mew Mew - remake, faithful to manga (anime)

Precure - crossover sequel (?) about the Splash Star and Yes5 Cures as adults (anime)

W.i.t.c.h. - reboot (comic)

Winx Club - reboot (animated show)

Wedding Peach - has that web novel Wedding Apple thing, I think it's new characters but uses similar tropes

Shugo Chara! - sequel (manga)

(and then there's been some stuff for the earlier majokko but I know very little about them)

Also Madoka has that new movie coming up but it never really went away since MagiReco has been active for years so I don't think it's in the exact same category. Or I guess Precure is even more active but a Splash Star/Yes5 sequel about adulthood is clearly tapping into a similar audience as many of the others in the list.

Wonder what's left of the big hitters from the same era? Magic Knight Rayearth at least, and maybe Sugar Sugar Rune? Not sure how big it is, it's just one of my favourites... Princess Tutu? Then there's also Utena and Fullmoon wo Sagashite but that's starting to stretch my definition of magical girls.

The Shugo chara mascots are called guardian characters (I had to look it up cause I forgot too) but I also never understood why she only used the pink one, cause in the first season the green one could not only clear X-eggs but also repair things. She was clearly the better option.

Maybe they just liked pink or thought the lead worked better with pink? Idk. From what I remember, it was a kinda weird anime.

Characters: Utau Hoshina and Eichi Tenshouin

Fandoms: Shugo Chara/Ensemble Stars

Relationship: Platonic/Rivalry

Propaganda: Both are idols who wanted to reach people with their music and BECAME idols because of their love for idols. Both had their dreams corrupted or soured in some way and became cynical until their respective series protagonists helped them regain their belief. Utau and Eichi both have an angelic motif and have been said to save angel voice, and both have devilsh hidden side. Also, both of them are considered to be 'top idols' in their series, hence the rivalry~

Characters: Utau Hoshina & Eichi Tenshouin

Fandoms: Shugo Chara | Ensemble Stars

Relationship: Platonic/Rivals

Submitted by @amuletduelist

Oooh, I see what you're putting down! Honestly, it sounds super cute, in a strange way XD Like, maybe the only one they feel they can be themselves around is each other, so they've got this mutual understanding/soft bond going. But they are also idols, and with their motifs being the same/similar, they're displayed as professional rivals.

Ok ok, I can get behind this!

(just want to clarify that I know neither of these characters XD Just in case my response sounded otherwise :'))
