hi hi!!! i'm really glad you enjoyed it!! i completely understand, i also really love combining my favourite things ;0; and this is actually really fun for me to get the chance to talk about, because i've been working on two lists of cure names for about a year now! (one where the rule is i have to make the cure name up, and the other where i have to decide which cure names from canon apply the most to everyone!) so to go through the same analysis with did with kaname, hiiro's name (as i understand) is written with the kanji for "one" and "bright or vibrant colours". there's a couple canon cure names that really match hiiro's in-game motifs; the most obvious being cure sword, who is also themed after a playing card spade, followed by cure scarlet (who coincidentally also has the kanji for castle in her surname, akagi, like hiiro doew), and then cure ace. cure ace is a really good comparison point, since her colour scheme is also red, and her emblem almost looks exactly like the stylised A for ALKALOID, if i'm remembering correctly. i think coming up with something that's better fitting than ace or scarlet is difficult, when both of those are kind of what his name means. i feel like the obvious choice is cure vermilion, which at first seems like it might be a little too long, but the more i've rotated it, the more it seems reasonable? it doesn't seem too clunky, and it has a good ring to it - definitely not weirder or less fitting than some canon names like flamingo, lemonade, or precious. i've left the kind of powers i think he would have out of this discussion, because i think the imagery in his name is definitely able to speak for itself when it comes to making a cure name, but considering his colour scheme, role in the group, and said imagery, i think he either has fire or light related powers - something kind of protag-like where all the others are controlling elements and they're just using sparkly beams, you know?

i honestly like it a lot. i'm a big fan of characters who go through something traumatic looking into career paths that will let them protect other people from experiencing the same thing - it's something i see a lot of my own goals in, so it really resonates with my core values. with kaname, i hc that he has to go to speech therapy for a while, and brain or head trauma can make it really difficult to make quick progress with speech therapy. irl i actually have what educational therapists have diagnosed as a developmental disability caused speech impediment!! these types of speech impediments can be super impacted by your emotional state - where i am in my life now, i rarely experience flare ups. but i think speech therapy is difficult for kaname because he feels things in such extremes. he uses a mix of jsl with spoken japanese in my post-canon hc, and while i do think over time his speech will get easier, it's something that i see making him incredibly insecure about ever returning to being an idol. it depends a lot on how long his recovery period is and how much growth and reflection he goes through during it - because he's not under any obligation to! he doesn't have to sit around and work on himself, you know? he's allowed to be angry and lash out during his recovery! but i think a lot of that will determine both how quickly he wants to return to the idol industry, and how quickly he realises he doesn't want to return to it as an idol. and i'm not really sure of my stance on how long any of that takes! :o because i want to be realistic about it, but i want to be fair and kind as well. kaname has already been through so much, so i don't want to add on like two years of existential crisis to his character arc, you know? but also finding out you might not be able to do the thing you've dreamed of since childhood because of physical disability is something i have had to come to terms with myself, and it's not quick or easy. this is probably a lot longer than you were expecting, huh? but tl;dr i do think a postcanon adult kaname definitely goes into either production or music journalism!!! tbh maybe he dabbles in both

crow was very adament that i tell you that actually three of the cures in that series use a blender as a gun, and they actually have a group attack that is all three of them firing off the blender-gun. BUT my answer here would be glasses!!! we have a few cures who can shoot laser beams out of their eyes, and one of those does wear glasses in her civilian form, but every single cure who wears glasses loses their glasses when they become a cure, and i'd kind of like to see a cure who keeps them? the main character in my precure fanseries, cure magenta, wears glasses, and so i thought it would be really cute to transfer that into her design by stylising them as sunglasses? that she doesn't have to constantly wear, but pulls down when she's doing her attacks, either because it involves shooting beams or because the attack is so BRIGHT it will hurt her eyes otherwise. and to answer the latter half of your question, my favourite wand is the princess candle from smile precure!! but i also love the flower tacts from heartcatch, and the milky mirror from gogo (i actually have this, it's my only magical girl wand so far!! but i hope to collect more!)

I HOPE YOU HAVE FUN WITH IT ANON!!! i just finished star twinkle myself a few weeks ago, i really took my time with it because i liked it so much. i have to admit it completely blew me away in the end... at first i was kind of unsure about it, because it is extremely whimsical and like, has these super random whimsical eps sandwiched between REALLY hardhitting emotional stuff, and the whiplash was kind of a lot ^^'' but the ending... my god... it is SOOOO worth the payoff. when i finished star twinkle i was like... for years people have been asking me where to begin and i've always said, "tell me the tropes you like and i'll suggest a series that has that in it!!" but now i'm like. it's star twinkle. i think you should start with star twinkle.
