ROUND 1B, MATCH 1 OUT OF 8!

Propaganda Under the Cut:

Lucia Nanami:

She's THE mermaid magical girl! Even though she doesn't lose her voice technically, she can't sing well in her human form out of nervousness in front of her crush. There's even an arc involving another girl who her love interest thinks saved him instead.

She has an entire show, not just a movie, and she is adorable!! Singing is a literal superpower for her - the show involves sing-off battles between the good team and the bad team, where the singing is a weapon that physically affects the other side. The manga in particular has beautiful illustrations, and there are many cute outfits! (Mostly I would just love for her to be in the poll at all, as Mermaid Melody is so fun and cute and has such a small fandom!)

Okay, so Lucia is a magical girl and one of the seven mermaid princesses, specifically the princess of the North Pacific Ocean. By transforming using her pearl, something that each mermaid princess has, she can hurt her enemies through the power of Song.

As a young girl she saved a human boy named Kaito from drowning after the shop he was on capsised due to a storm, and gave her pearl to him in order to heal him. Years later she took on legs and went on land in order to reunite with him and get her pearl back, falling in love with him soon after. However she is unable to tell him about how she's the mermaid that saved him when they were little because when a mermaid tells a human about what she is then she'll turn into bubbles

While I haven't found anything confirming that Mermaid Melody was inspired by the Little Mermaid, it would be highly surprising if it were not the case considering how she saved a human boy who ended up becoming her love interest, took on legs and went on land to find him. Not to mention the singing and the mermaids turning into bubbles thing

Laura Apollodoros Hyginus La Mer:

best precure character since star twinkle ended. carried the tropical rouge season. her arc of trying to decide whether she belongs on land or sea is so good.

Laura's journey from disdaining humans/seeing them as a means to an end is really great! She never loses her selfish/petulant streak, but she does mature around it and start using her qualities for good. While at first only seeing her human friends as a way to make herself heir to the mermaid throne, Laura slowly comes to trust and love them... and ultimately begins yearning to be able to walk with them and join in their land-based activities (especially after briefly switching bodies with them and getting to experience humanity). In an interesting twist, Laura refuses the Witch's offer to make her a human as it would mean betraying her friends - and for this she is rewarded with her own human form from a different source. It's a really great, charming arc for the character!

The little mermaid is a constant in the season, with Laura starting completely appalled that a mermaid would sacrifice herself for a human, not to mention wanting to be one, when she first learned about the story. However, after spending more and more time with her new human friends, she herself starts wishing in secret she could be human so she could join them in more activities although she doesn't want to admit it.

When confronted about it by the Witch of Delays (the villain of the season, who is stealing motivation from people to get an eternity of delays), Laura is offered to be turned into a human in exchange of standing by and letting the witch win. Laura then accepts that she does want to be human, but she will not rely on the witch's powers and will make her dream come true herself instead.

She manages to be able to transform into a human by her own means without losing the ability to go back to her original mermaid form.

So Laura has an Entire Journey over her Little Mermaid Connotations. She starts the show not at all caring for humans or the story of The Little Mermaid. Hearing the story makes her think the story is awful and the mermaid was stupid to give up huge pieces of herself only to turn into seafoam at the end. It takes nearly half the show for Laura to connect to the story; she can only be with her friends in secret and anytime they're having fun trying new things, she's confined to her little marketable pocket dimension or following them through secluded rivers and waterways. She *gets* the mermaid now, but she knows she loves herself and doesn't want to give something of herself up for the risk of what becoming human like the other girls could mean for her. She wants this, but she doesn't want to exchange the other pieces of herself to get it. One of the other girls sees her contemplating and says she always interpreted that aspect of the story to be about how if you want something in life, you have to make some form of exchange. If you want good grades, you have less time and energy to do other things. It's about evaluating well how to get what you want and how far you really want to push yourself to get that. This does not comfort Laura much.

The villain (who is indeed a sea witch) preys on this anxiety when she captures Laura. The themes of the show revolve around being the kind of person who Simply Goes For Things. Who simply says 'Right now, this is what is important to me. And I have to go for what is important to me!' Very Phineas and Ferb levels of Summer Belongs To You energy. When she offers to give Laura everything she wants in exchange for betraying her friends, Laura does not accept this, because the reason she wants to be human is BECAUSE of her friends. She isn't sure how she'll accomplish what she wants, but she's not bartering anything of hers with anyone else to get it. BOTH the pieces of her that are a mermaid and the pieces of her that feel belonging and happiness with her friends are important, and they're important all of the time. Even if she doesn't have a solution to her satisfaction directly in front of her, she refuses to have only half of what she wants just out of a desire for instant gratification. This resolve enrages the Witch of Delays.

Laura does nearly die for her wish to be fully and completely with her friends, to be human, and it is only by the power of her love for them and her resolution to become the biggest bravest version of herself that she gains a magical girl transformation and the ability to switch between her tail and her new legs.

I adore this bright comfy spin on the story, because it essentially takes the base characterization of the mermaid as a character who is singlemindedly after a soul she does not have and the love of another which she cannot make hers, and says 'What if we put an incredibly different character into that same position of desperate yearning? What if it wasn't that she has none of what she truly wants, but that she has conflicting wants? What if it is not the complete lack of companionship that leaves her reaching for ways to be human, but the want to fully and unabashedly participate in the love and companionship she does have?' Then rewards that character for sticking to her guns and being true to herself and her friends.

Also she is so funnie and cute and prebby and I adore her and she is for sure in love with Cure Summer. Thank you hav day♡

don't hug me i'm scared episode 6 electricity is really something when you're autistic, huh. yellow guy is made fun of all his life by his only friends and laughed at for being "stupid" when all he needed was a change of batteries but no one would listen to him and give him the accommodations he needed and deserved and when he finally did get new batteries and become more clearheaded his friends didn't like him any better. they stopped making fun of him, sure, but they didn't like that he was "smart" all of a sudden, because they'd gotten used to him being "the stupid one". and he looked in the mirror and saw his former self, and his reflection asked him, "have we gone wrong? they seem upset with us" because the truth is even if the way you are now is more comfortable for you, even if it doesn't hurt to think anymore, people will only ever like you if you're the Right Kind of autistic/adhd/traumatized/whatever. have we gone wrong? have we gone wrong? that's what you always ask yourself. "maybe they're not in charge of us anymore." "maybe they never were." and his reflection walks away, as if accepting that the others will think what they will think, and it won't matter, because yellow guy is his own person, no matter how difficult it is for him to articulate his thoughts, and he doesn't need their approval to think. "maybe they never were."

#dhmis #don't hug me i'm scared #yellow guy's conversation with his reflection lives in my head rent free just so you know. #it's so important to me that although he's 'awakened' now- the part of him that's sensitive to what other people think #is still represented by his former self. the 'stupid' version of him. the naive hopeful kid who was mesmerized by a butterfly #and wanted to work with coworkers in a factory and missed duck so much when he died he dug him up #and hated himself for being 'stupid in the head' when he forgot the computer password. #even when yellow guy is clearheaded enough to see through the fabric of his reality #that part of him is still very much present and important in his life and thought processes. #it confuses me that some people seem to see the batteries as a metaphor for a 'cure' for autism or whatever. #to me the batteries are like adhd or schizophrenia medication or antidepressants. they make life easier #while you're dealing with a condition that would normally make moving through a neurotypical world pretty hard. #yellow guy is still the same person. he still cares about his friends' opinions. he's just much more clearheaded and articulate than usual.

OC Time Again!

Another member of the Cute Collection Precure fanteam, where each Cure is based on a past anniversary milestone season! Joining Hanabusa Kocho/Cure Yes is this lovely lady! Kumadaki Manami/Cure Hug, based on Hugtto Precure!

Her gimmick item that she puts in her transformation device to transform is the "Chibi PuriHaato". While I still haven't drawn her proper transformation device (nor Cure Yes'), their gimmick items are all based on the transformation devices of past seasons! Cure Hug is ALSO themed on the teaching assistant occupation, as Hugtto Cures are based on jobs!

I have now decided that Cure Hug is Cute Collection Precure's Purple Cure.

[Image ID: A series of doodles of the Cure Yell, Cure Ange and Cure Etoile from Hugtto PreCure. They’re all drawn collarbone up in their beta designs. Yell is smiling happily at the viewer. Ange is facing the left and praying melancholily. Etoile is looking to the right, almost smugingly. They’re all drawn in a way and with tools emulating the style given in Flipnote Studio. /. End ID]

Originally created on September 3rd, 2021

Some doodles I did when images of the trio were released. I like how Yell didn’t change that much and I really liked Ange’s beta design. I’m interested in Macherie’s and Amour’s beta designs, if any, as they’re my least favorite design wise.
