Haha sorry but anyways

Expect the vents to stop, somethings about to start in my private life that will make my attitude really happy.

Anyways, three things are going on that are gonna be pretty cool

First, I adopted Candy Time Pretty Cure, and am requesting to change the name of six of the characters in it. I'm a little anxious because I can think of two reasons the request will be rejected: 1, it's overload for the admin, 2, there might be a hidden rule that I can't change the names of adopted series. If the latter's the case, which I hope not because that's kinda an anxiety-influenced thought from me, you may see Shizuka Honda's name change?

Second, Cirno Day is coming up. I made two videos for it, and I'm planning for this to be biannual, so I'll be making a third video today! After I finish this I will work on it right now.

Lastly, I got a series idea. Not sure if it's for PreCure or if it's my first Balala fanseries, but I found an idea.


These bootleg Cure Fleurets with characters inspired by Balala.

First off, the characters themselves. The yellow one's obviously based on Shirley, the blue on Maggie Lin, the red on Michelle Lin, the purple on Sara, and for the pink and white ones, I'm not exactly sure. The one on the left side has a bootleg render of Miki Aono.

Since this is a Chinese knockoff knocking off two series, including a Chinese series, it probably got way more eyes than other knockoffs, I'm guessing.

Obvious disclaimer that I don't support the knockoff industry, especially since not only that they're abusing copyright law, but they are known for being low quality and even toxic. Some toys should never be held by human hands, let alone have their insides inhaled by human noses, especially the hands and noses of children, and I think many bootlegs can go into this category. If the ones I'm looking at today are an exception, I don't know.

Also, bootlegging series and characters for financial purposes and not being a parody are bad so don't do that...

However, I let Spook Chasers slide because it was 20 years ago and now they're only being collected by real collectors, and this Fleuret knockoff toy is up to ten years old, and while fiction affects reality, I'm not sure how much a fanseries based on knockoff designs will capitalize the industry. Feel free to use this against me.

I'm trying to find the image of the Splash Star knockoffs that existed before Smile PreCure did because those are hilarious.

Anyways Cirno time.

EDIT:


Okay, I found two more images. The former is a purse and wand of some kind, and the latter is a digital image of all the characters, possibly with their names and magical girl identities.
  • The blue one is Star Elf Estelle (星精灵爱斯特尔)
  • The pink one is Moon Elf Tethys (or something, 月亮精灵特提斯)
  • The white one is Self Elf Olivia (自的精灵奥利维亚, not sure if the self part is right)
  • The purple one is Love Elf Venus (愛心精灵一维纳斯)
  • The red one is Sun Elf Nasherty (idk, 太阳精灵一纳事尔蒂)
  • And the yellow one wasn't automatically detectable (见精灵 was the translation Google gave me)
  • The princess is named Flower Princess Lindsay (花公主琳茜)
I also found this image from a brand by the same company, and the company is called "Norah Matthew"(挪拉马修 (马 or 馬)). This doll looks very similar to Lindsay and I'm 99% sure it's her.

EDIT 2:

Dudes and dudettes this bootleg has an official animation

https://v.qq.com/x/page/h0143jd5u0a.html (warning: quick flashing)

I'm pretty sure it's from a promotional DVD.

It features an eighth girl, who is blonde, and a guy. I believe these are Nora and Matthew, as Nora Matthew has two mascots named Nora and Matthew. Lindsey uses the Cure Fleuret seen in the first image.

Other characters are: the Demon King, blue hair spiky guy, Dessina, Linglong, Yueji, Hanyu, Ruth, and Bingxue. Only the former two show up in the animation. The latter six only appear in the promo commercial.

By the way, this new series I'm making will only take inspiration from the designs of the characters and weapons, and then again, very loosely.

EDIT 3:
Found this Japanese article that might be of interest: https://chanime.net/blog-entry-436
Also found this video that might give insight on the fairies: https://v.qq.com/x/page/m0397ex8bpq.html

Looking at the video again, I found some things that were different than my original analysis.

The purple one is the Sun Elf Neferti/Nefertiti.
The blue one is the Moon Elf Tethys (which is her name since Tethys is Saturn's fifth largest moon).
The yellow one is the Star Elf Esther/Estelle.
The red/pink one is the Love Elf Venus.
The pink/peach one is the Flower Elf Fiona.
The green one is the Dove Elf Olivia.

While the doll promo was different from the fairies in the Adventures of Nora and Matthew video, which I will shorten to anime promo, it did clear up some things.

Venus is not the purple girl, she is the pink girl in the anime promo and the red girl in the doll promo, which cleared up a lot of confusion.
The purple girl is Tethys in the anime promo, and Neferti in the doll promo.
The blue one is still Estelle in the anime promo, but she is Tethys in the doll promo.
The yellow one is Fiona in the anime promo, and Estelle in the doll promo.
The red one is Neferti in the anime promo, and Venus in the doll promo.
The white/green one is Olivia in both versions, but Google Translate worked correctly and translated her title to the White Pigeon Elf, so she's a Dove Elf.
