Starmania iceberg, done in collaboration with fellow starmaniacs on our starmania discord server !! we tried to go from well-known/obvious facts to more obscure references. How many of these do you know ?
kinda thought that starmania was just some fever dream of mine but turns out it has an entire fandom and is in fact still a running existing show?? anyway johnny rockfort is trans and he is in my head
Very obsessed with the way Monopolis is talked about in Starmania
Like, Monopolis meaning the One city, the Only city, when we know for a fact that it is a sprawling city, that it is expending all over the country - according to Sadia at least
Add the fact that Monopolis is the very first “character” that is introduced to us. Before anything else, before we can find out about the characters or the story, the very first thing we learn is that everything happens in Monopolis. There is no escape from it, there is no way for the characters to exist outside of it, no story can take place beyond the borders of the city - assuming there even are borders
Love love love the implication that there is nowhere else to go; Johnny and Cristal want to leave, they want to find a no man’s land, and it doesn’t exist. There isn’t a place that is not the city, because it is everywhere, it’s the only thing there is left
Also, call me a nerd, but the way it’s just called “la ville” by various characters reminds me a lot of how Rome was called Urbs (City in latin). Like. There is only One City. We don’t need to add anything else, because there is only one place that truly matters. It’s driving me insane
