nu: carnival seems to have designed an event tailor-made to my interests (fairy tales, being bound by scripts, breaking said scripts) except they centered it on my two least favorite clan members 😅
also is that a baku? i think that’s a baku. oh my GOD y’all i love baku sm
help for predictions for fanciful capriccio part 2
Alright, so several reddit comments/posts and twitter posts are already connecting the dots and predicting that fanciful capriccio might have a part 2, and that kuya and rei are in that part 2.
Imma give some theories and also ask for help cause i can't help but theorize this shit xD
So Fairy Tale tower= Olivine, Canal bridge= Yakumo.
The other 2 grayed out buildings look like a shrine and a steaming pond or hot spring.
Now, a full sized event map that someone put together: https://twitter.com/nucnugget/status/1753006763031581086
In the map, on the right side is clearly the Rapunzel and White snake motifs.
On this^ left side, we see an odango food stand, the hot spring/steaming pond, a treehouse looking thing, topper, some racoons, and a PURPLE SHRINE (the same shrine in the grayed out building).
Temple- I am guessing Kuya since it's freakin PURPLE, and, while this is extremely predictable, I'm hoping that he's the legend of the 9 tailed fox, aka Tamamo-no-Mae. Mostly cause I miss Kuya's fox ears and a nine-tailed fox kuya card will be SO gorgeous, and very in character. And a good gray-area villain role for the story.
Hot spring/steaming pond- Rei? But i have no idea what folk tale/fairy tale that might be. The only other possible hint is that in prologue 4, we see Garu chasing Father and calling Father a bluebird "that brings good luck". There's actually a lot fairy tales/myths that feature good luck bluebirds, so that helps but doesn't narrow down enough.
If anyone can help me piece this together, lemme know.
*Me explaining my paper-thin conspiracy theory*--not really, this is an affectionate rant
THEIR DESIGNS ARE TOO GOOD AND I BELIEVE THE DEVS ARE TARGETING ME PERSONALLY
HEY, DON'T LEAVE, I SWEAR I HAVE A POINT HERE
I have analyzed the new banners we've had this year [excluding Eiden-exclusive banners because he's the beloved protag and a special case] and I am honestly feeling so attacked right now.
So you know how fans can be cursed with have multiple favorite characters, and/or how certain design elements for those characters can make them go especially feral, right?
Well, a while ago when there was a post on the subreddit about favorite SSR designs for each character, I responded with my picks and reasoning:
(Note, this post was made after Frozen Echoes and during Journey to a NU World.)
(I am including this picture to serve as proof that I'm not straight-up lying about what elements I like.)
Now, considering the elements I mentioned, you'll notice that every banner we've had this year included at least 1 character designed with elements that fuck ME up SPECIFICALLY.
Frozen Echoes- Ed with his hair down
Fanciful Capriccio Pt. 1- Olivine with a very pretty/ethereal look
Fanciful Capriccio Pt. 2- Kuya with the LONG HAIR + fox traits, Rei in a top with hella side-cutouts
Oh, and what's that silhouette I'm now seeing for the upcoming event???
A silhouette of a #3 fav with his hair in a ponytail?

Inside the story-filled dreamland, Eiden and the others take on the roles of different characters, travelling from one plot to another. Eventually they discover that the cause of this disturbance has to do with a mysterious little animal?!
