#fancuries event 2020

[fancuries]

A Cure resembling a familiar cartoon character walked up to the stage’s podium, transformed into a girl wearing a orange dress with black hair let down, and cleared her throat.

“Thank goodness I actually get to be in here for once.”

The girl looked towards the audience “Oh! Sorry about that! Name’s Yuki Sozokawa a.k.a. Cure Creation! I came all the way from another universe just to be with you guys tonight!”

Yuki looked around the audience, and came across one of her relatives.

“Are you sure they’re alright with this, sis?” One of Yuki’s younger sisters, Wakana, wearing a blue tuxedo and fancy hat with a feather on it, spoke up.

“Yeah, yeah, it’s fine!” Yuki answered. “They called and said that I got the part, so I practiced it until today came!”

Wakana rolled her eyes. “Well, I’m gonna go grab some more food.” She pushed her way through the audience.

“Well, that’s Wakana I tell you!” Yuki told the audience as they all laughed.

“Anyways,” Yuki shuffled through papers, which were already placed on the podium. “It’s time to announce this year’s nominations for Crossover Fanseries, since that’s the reason I’m here tonight.” The audience laughed again.

Yuki picked up the papers on the podium and cleared her throat.

“First up is Pocket Monsters Precure! by Blue-and-Dog!” Yuki called out the first nominee. “It’s a crossover with Pokémon! Seems like a pretty cool theme to me!” She told the audience.

“Next up is Game On! Precure by Bubble a.k.a. Curl!” Yuki named out the second nominee. “Three quarters of the nominees, including this one, are actually fanseries based on video games!” she whispered to the audience.

“Then, we have Nintendo Precure! by Peach-Chan!” Yuki clapped to herself. “It’s a crossover with Nintendo! I do say, my creator actually read the series, she says it’s really good!” She told the audience.

“And lastly, Prism Heart Precure by skittyfan1991!” Yuki smiled. “This one crosses over with Rainbow High dolls! Not much to say here except compliments!” She put her hands together.

Yuki looked through the papers. “And the winner is…” She picked one up, with the winner of the category’s name on it. “Nintendo Precure!”

“I really seem to enjoy this one a lot!” Yuki winked to the person reading this currently.

The audience clapped as Yuki waved. Suddenly, a girl in a pink dress wearing a flower clip on her head snatched the paper. “Is that correct, sis?!” The girl looked at the paper.

Yuki snatched the paper from her younger sister’s hands and put it back on the podium. “Mari!” Yuki told her. “You’re not supposed to be on here!”

“What’ya mean, guys?” Another voice said besides the two girls. They turned to see Wakana with sauce stains on her tuxedo. “I was hungry for spaghetti.” She looked at the audience as she rubbed her belly. “I really don’t know why I’m onstage.” She said in a monotonous tone.

Yuki grabbed her sisters’ arms. “You two are supposed to be in the audience! What are you doing here?” She whispered to he both of them.

“I illogically teleported onto here because my creator wrote it that way!” Wakana smiled.

“I just wanted a different winner!” Mari tapped her fingers together.

Yuki pushed Wakana and Mari away from the stage. “Well then, you two should stay in the audience!”

Yuki walked back to the podium and dusted her hands off. “Well, that’s a wrap for me!”

Suddenly, Yuki’s phone buzzed. She grabbed it from her hammerspace for some reason and looked at the text she received.

“Yakko called, he wants to watch Hamilton with me.” Yuki told the audience.

She put on a coat and started walking off the stage. “I have to go back to my universe now, but I’ll stick around and come back when I’m done watching Hamilton. Goodnight everybody!” She waved as she exited the stage.

Starry's Nominee Spotlight

Hello people of the Tumblr! I'm Starry, though my username on Amino is ♡,. (I got lazy to change it back to Starry ;;). My main social media is Amino since all of my work is on there.

I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to put here, since I'm new to tumblr and being nominated. I'm really flattered that I was able to partake in this cool event though

I was nominated for the traditional artist category, and since I don't have anything posted on Tumblr, I thought I should showcase bits of my art that I like

For the red carpet, I drew Hirori, an oc from an archived fanseries I had

(Final drawing + Concept art) (Since the theme was heaven/sky, I tried to make a dress that made it look like clouds was spilling down)

Some pieces I'm proud of vv

For some history of my art journey, I started drawing before Kindergarten, or during preschool. I guess you could say I've been drawing my whole life, but my art wasn't that good. It really wasn't until the last few years that I seriously focused on. I guess my progress is showing, since I got nominated, but I still think I have a long way in my art journey. I enjoy drawing and enjoy practicing in order to continue improving.

Another year, another fancuries! The Primes have been going to support their friends almost every year, and now is no different! Bright helped them coordinate the outfits together, while still sticking to the heaven/sky/angel thematic they had going on.  Of course, I’m extremely grateful for everyone who nominated any of my stories, lemme hug you >v<

[fancuries]

A girl with brown hair and a white and blue dress gets up on the stage, all while admiring it’s heaven-like aesthetic before tapping the microphone to make sure it was working well.

“Okay, and before you ask; my name is Tomomi Omoida, one of the members of the Wonderful! Kaitou Precure, and yes I indeed have a few other face masks at my table. Oh… Sorry for going off on a tangent, anyways.”

She then scratched the back of her head before continuing.

“Making designs for fancures can be fun to do, but sometimes creators tend to let fans create their own Cures for the fanseries, fanfancures if you will. They can get pretty creative with these, and this category shows that some fanseries are so good you wanna make your own cures that are just as good as the originals!

“The nominees for Series You Most Want to Make a Fanfancure For are: Pocket Monsters Precure! by Blue-and-Dog, Precure: Project Dream by Bubble a.k.a. Curl, Oceana Precure by Cure Pearl, Love Sent! Motto♥Motto Precure by Fennieaile a.k.a. starbelles, Stardust Pretty Cure by kokoruu, Brilliant Prince Pretty Cure by Lou, Welcome to Animal Crossing PreCure by Lulu Ruru, and Kaibutsu Pretty Cure by Priestess.

“And the winner is… Pocket Monsters Precure! Congrats to you! And now that I think about it, I kinda wanna make a fancure for it myself, but I’m kinda busy on school work heh heh.”

A very small little butterfly with black and teal wings, wearing what can only be described as the cutest little yellow flowery dress, fluttered towards the stage. She waved somewhat shyly to the crowd, smiling a very cute small smile. She fluttered up to the microphone that was about as big as she was and began to talk.

“HiiiiIIIIiiiiii…!!!” The microphone squealed out a massive amount of feedback.

Suddenly, a girl with short black hair, dark skin, and a pastel yellow party dress quickly ran up to the microphone and unplugged it, handing a tiny microphone to the little fairy. The girl tapped the microphone to check if it was working (it was), gave the fairy a thumbs up, and then quickly dashed offstage, but not before waving to the audience.

The little butterfly took a deep breath before clearing her throat. “Um… hi!” She said, this time with a lot less feedback. “My name is uh… Birdie from Bug Buzz Precure and I’m here to present the um…” She pulled out a tiny slip of paper from her dress pocket. “The award for Best Mascot Design!”

“The nominees are…” She squinted at the paper she was holding. It looked like she was trying to figure out how to pronounce these names. “Uh… P-Pe-Puh-tit?” She turns away from the mic to look at someone off stage, but a slightly quiet “I-I dunno what this word is?” can still be heard.

The microphone girl from earlier dashes up to Birdie and quickly whispers into her ear. She gives Birdie another thumbs up and runs off again, this time giving the audience double finger guns.

“Sorry! Debbie just had to help for a second.” Birdie said, nervously giggling. She goes back to looking at her paper. She clears her throat again. “Um, the nominees are… Petit Beurre from Kokoro♡Clock Precure by Fabulous Duet, Mary Ann “Usagi” Rabbit from Happily Ever After! Fairytale Pretty Cure by Imagination, Fuzzy from Radiant Precure by mariatrap, uh… Pixelena from Nintendo Precure! by Peach-Chan, …and Nezan from Fractured Kingdom Pretty Cure by TB…!” She let out a sigh of relief. That was a lot of words for the little fairy!

“And the um… the winner is… Petit Beurre from Kokoro♡Clock Precure…!” She tried clapping, but she couldn’t exactly figure it out with both of her hands full. She pouts a little. Debbie appears one last time, scooping up little Birdie into her arms. She runs off with the little baby butterfly in her arms.

A young-looking, pink-haired girl strides onto the stage. She adjusts the mic with a steely glare to the audience, then speaks.

“Hello, all. My name is Ishikawa Mitsuko, also known as Cure Video of Live! Precure. With me is Ambassador Cinnamon and her compatriots.” Four bunny-like fairies wave hello, and the pink one speaks.

“We’re here to talk about design! Look at us, for example…” the fairies float upstage, and the Cure speaks again.

“These four are fairies, yes, but look at their colors and the shapes. They are designed creatures, meant to exude a certain feeling.” She looks at the audience again. “Tonight, we are graced by the presence of some Cures who exude a feeling of power and control. ‘Coolness’, as we call it. The nominees for Coolest Design for a Cure are…” She takes out a notebook and reads from it.

“Pocket Monsters Precure!’s Cure Sunrise, Rewind Precure!’s Cure Cyber, Game On Precure!’s fanfancure Cure Elite, Stardust Pretty Cure’s Cure Meteor, Reach Out!! Precure’s Cure Lumens, Roar! Mighty Dragon Precure’s Cure Alchemy, Dazzling Pretty Cure’s Cure Champion, Toychest Pretty Cure!’s Cure Fantasy, Dreamy Aspiration Precure’s Cure Entity, and Loyal Aid Precure’s Cure Copper.”

She exhales and surveys the crowd. “I will admit, these are some… cool-looking Precures. Now… there is nothing left to do but to announce the winner. Which one of you has the envelope?” The purple fairy floats up with an envelope, nodding. The girl takes it, and gently tears it open. “Our winner is… a tie! The award goes to Cure Meteor and Cure Cyber both! Congratulations, it was well deserved.”

“G-good evening everyone,” Fleur spoke, her voice shaking slightly. “I hope you are all, um, having a great time.”

She gripped the card in her hand a little tighter. Fleur had no idea why she let the twins talk her into this. Well, Lavender. She wasn’t a public speaker, she was a shy kid who could barely ask a question in class on a good day.

“I would like to introduce the category of Chapter of the Year and all of this year’s nominees to you all,” she pushed on, trying to keep the smile on her face despite her nerves.

“These chapters are ones in each of these stories that you all felt stood out for one reason or another, and deserved some recognition for it. The nominated chapters are Chapter 14 of Heartstone Precure by Cure Dreamer, Chapter 1 of Happily Ever After! Fairytale Pretty Cure by Imagination, Chapter 7 of Tidal Song Precure by Kazuko, and Chapter 6 of Crown Jewels Pretty Cure by TwinklingCupcake. They are all wonderful, and regardless of who wins, you all wrote some fantastic content this year! However, this year’s winner is… Chapter 7 of Tidal Song Precure! Congratulations!”

Connie couldn't believe she had agreed to this, but it was important to give artists the appreciation they deserve for their hard work.

But still, being in front of people was so, so, so, so, so intimidating.

Her legs shook like crazy, but luckily she had her dear friends by her side as she stood on the stage. Ray and Beryl at one side, and Morgan and Hanan at the other. She was surrounded by friends, so it was going to be okay.

"H-Hello… I'm Connie, Cure Gale from Prime Pretty Cure." She leaned a little closer to reach the microphone. "This award is Excellence in Traditional Art, and um…"

Connie suddenly fell silent and it seemed like she was gonna fall over, but Hanan stepped up and put an arm around her, and held Connie's hand with the other.

"You're doing great."

That made her feel a bit better. "I also like art a lot… and these four have managed to put their hearts and soul into their work! And it… it shows!" Just thinking about art, made her feel a bit more at ease. "We have… Biscuit, Haruruism, Izzy Love, and Starry. Oh my gosh, your art is so pretty…!" She couldn't help but stare at the artworks that were being shown on the screen. "Aahhhh…"

"Connie, Connie!" Hanan gently nudged her.

"Oh, ah, um... yes! I will now announce the... the winner." She opened the envelope messily. "And the winner is... it's Izzy Love!"

Clapping, she and her friends stepped off the stage to allow the winner to take the center.

A girl with amber eyes donning a sunset-inspired suit and a flustered boy donning a sunset-inspired dress with their arms interlocked made their way to center stage.

“Hello everyone! I hope you’re having a good time so far!” the girl exclaimed, waving to everyone. The room was dark so everyone’s faces weren’t as visible, but everyone was enjoying their time at the event.

“I’ve been having a lot of fun so far, me and the other Storytime gals had a blast on the red carpet!”

“I felt so stupid on there~chi…” the boy muttered. His face glowed a bright red, making his freckles more prominent

“I know, but this will be over soon. We can have Haruhi make some tea later”

“Alright alright. But I’m taking this off as soon as the event is done~chi!”

“Right, let’s get started!” the girl said. She let go of the boy’s arm and fixed her suit up. She looked out to the audience with confidence, as her voice rang throughout the event room.

“My name is Sakoto Matsumoto, libero of Nanairogaoka’s girls’ volleyball team - also known as Cure Rose, the team’s strategist. And this flustered mess is Patorikku Chinen - also known as Rikku or Pachi, our fairy companion”

“And, we’ll be presenting the Ideal Best Friend award. Following the protagonist in their story is fun, but I think the bonds with their friends make the stories stronger~chi!”

“Our nominee list is quite incredible and tonight, we get the chance to thank them for their kindness, loyalty, and generosity to their team and our protagonists! Our nominees are…Hikaru Kishi or Cure Coral of the Oceana Precure team, Yuanfen Zhao or Cure Fĕn of the Love Sent! Motto♥Motto Precure team, Akio Kagome or Cure Crown of the Brilliant Prince Pretty Cure team-”

“Lemme help you out~chi,” Rikku offered. Sakoto gave him a nod and he continued to list the nominees.

“Um, there’s also Jun Izanama or Cure Hope of the Immortal Friendship Precure team, Ellie from Charge Up! Precure, Taul Hanley or Cure Vrisha of the Tentai Senshin Precure team. Hey, our creator knows them! And lastly, Penny Polter or Cure Elysium of the Zenith Precure team. You all sound super nice and I know that your friends adore all you’ve done! You all are winners in our eyes, but we have to pick one true winner tonight, so let’s get started~chi!”

With that declaration out of the way, Sakoto pulled out an envelope from her pocket. The wax seal had the logo imprinted on it.

“And the winner of the Ideal Best Friend award is…” She paused, opening the envelope.

Sakoto handed the flier to Rikku, the results waiting to be revealed

“Oh, the winner is… Cure Coral from Oceana Precure! Congratulations on this award! Give them a hand everyone~chi!”

Applause erupted from the audience, echoing across the hall. Both walked off the stage to join their group

“I swear, this outfit is going off immediately this event is over~chi…” Rikku complained. His face grew redder the more he thought about it.

A man with bright green hair and a similarly coloured outfit hopped onto the stage happily, fixing up his tie as he began his speech.

“Greetings folks! The name’s Clef, proud producer of Stella, and y’know, I’ve been thinking, not only do you need a good cast of main characters and villains in your story, but the supporting and minor characters can be just as important, if not more important to flesh out the world the story has created, and with this category it shows that the best characters can sometimes be helping out on the sidelines! So, here are your nominees for Best Supporting Cast: Prime Pretty Cure by MonoTheMonochrome, Nintendo Precure! by Peach-Chan, and Mystic Tale Pretty Cure by snow-will-fall!”

“And the winner is… Nintendo Precure! Congratulations! We have noticed the supportiveness of that cast!”

A girl of a rather short stature gracefully made her way to the podium of the Fancuries. Her posture and smile radiated confidence. Her dirty blonde hair was held back by a yellow headband decorated in golden flowers. She wore a yellow dress with differing sleeves, one being a simple strap and the other covering most of her upper arm. Her rosy red cheeks were surrounded by freckles.

All was calm as she stood in front of the sea of people, all staring at her. Well it was, until she opened her mouth:

“Tis’ I, your demon princess overlord, Yuzuki Yuuta!! And today my demons, I have descended from hell itself to bestow an honor upon one of my humble servants!”

Whispers traveled through the crowd. Who was this girl, what was she on, and why was she at the Fancuries? Far away, towards the back of the crowd, a group of Pretty Cure exchanged concerned looks. They knew this speech, as they were her practice audience, and this… This wasn’t planned.

“Ugh… She definitely snapped under the pressure.” One of them groaned, lowering his head in shame.

The girl beside him, Yuanfen Zhao, tugged at her friend’s sleeve through panicked breaths: “I should have known this was a mistake! Ryouta, we need to evacuate before we are the laughing stocks of the Fancuries!”

“C’mon Yuzuki, spare us the second-hand embarrassment and do this right!! Take a deep breath and do it as we rehearsed!!” The leader of the Love Sent! Motto♡Motto Precure team, Momoka Masami, called out to the girl on the podium.

Yuzuki stared at Momoka in the crowd, with sweat across her brow. It was too late to start over, she needed to commit.

“AHEM,” She coughed, demanding attention from her viewers after the elongated silence: “Clearly, you all are not on my plane of existence and my words are impossible for your pea-brains to comprehend! I suppose I need to speak in a manner that lower life forms will understand. The goddesses have shined down upon four lucky creators, but only one shall reap the rewards and overcome fate itself! Which Cure has the goddess chosen, to be winner of the title that goes to the most amazing, extraordinary, legendary, bad*** Pretty Cure to ever be put to pen… Or just uh, the Coolest Written Cure of 2020! Our nominees are…”

“First we have Emilia (Emi) Nakagawa, or Cure Reef, of Tidal Song Precure written by Kazuko. She’s an amazing yellow Cure, just like me! She can be described as stoic, standoffish, and a little short-tempered, but she cares a lot about her friends. She’s independent, and wishes to prove herself to the people who underestimate her. Some of her coolest moments include fighting off a Siren with a surfboard, and fighting alone with a fever! What a baddie!”

“Our next nominee is Morgan Shannon Fischer, or Cure Splash, of Prime Pretty Cure by MonoTheMonochrome. Morgan is a strong and skilled fighter, who’s very dedicated to her mission to save the world from the Unbounds and the commanders of Obscuro! She loves the thrill of battle and kicking some serious butt! Though she’s a little bit unapproachable and a total loner, she’s very protective of her friends in and out of the battlefield. Some of her best moments include fighting without her powers and stopping her friend from losing control of her powers!

“Ariel Kane, or Cure Cressida, is another nominee! She’s from Shimmering Satellite Pretty Cure written by Moe a.k.a. MissMellifluous! She’s a rebellious musician who lives by the beat of a different drummer. Ariel is a proud member of the The Shark Bite Betties, a Roller Derby team. Her tough nature is perfect for the sport, which can be rather brutal at times. In her introductory chapter, she earned her powers by protecting children which is beyond cool! She only got COOLER  when she took down a villain using her Derby skills! She sounds so… so… amazing… ahhhhh--”

“YUZUKI YOU’RE FANGIRLING!” Momoka yelled from the audience.

“Oh.. uh.. Our final nominee for Coolest Written Cure is Shizuka Fujimoto, or Cure Snap, of Mystic Tale! Pretty Cure by snow-will-fall! Based on one of the most terrifying predators, the tiger shark, Cure Snap is terrifyingly AWESOME! Shizuka’s alter ego is a fierce fighter who fights on the frontlines. Shizuka herself, however, is a different story. Unlike the rest of the nominees, Shizuka is shy and cowardly. Under the surface lies a smart and energetic girl, who enjoys sharing all she knows about her favorite topics. With this nominee, you get the best of both worlds! The adorable Shizuka and the fierce Cure Snap! One of Snap’s coolest moments is when she summoned a massive tsunami with her water powers! So cool!”

Yuzuki looked a bit out of breath after all that. Perhaps she had rambled just a little. Swiftly, she grabbed her water bottle and took a sip. She took a deep breath before continuing her speech. “Now, my demon servants, we shall see who will ascend to become the goddess of all things ‘cool.’ She shall be accompanied to the heavens by me, the Demon Princess Overlord, Yuzuki Yuuta!!!” She flipped open the envelope, while doing a uniquely 'Yuzuki' pose. “And our new goddess of ‘cool’ is… Cure Reef of Tidal Song Precure!! Step up and accept your godhood!!”

Mary walked onto the stage nervously, she had never been in front of a crowd this big, especially not a crowd filled with fellow precure. She took a deep breath, and began her speech.

“Hi everyone! It’s so great to see you all tonight! My name is Mary but you probably know me as the leader of Magi Magi Precure, Cure Morganite! Unless you’ve never heard of our team before, I mean we are kind of new but- ANYWAYS!” Mary looked down at her arm very quickly. She had written her speech on it just in case she forgot any part of it.

“Being a leader is a daunting responsibility. Not only do you need to have strength and smarts but you also must have a close bond with the rest of your team. As a fellow leader, I know the difficulty and stress that comes from this duty and despite all of these the nominees for this award have shown that they have both the determination and kindness to represent their teams.”

“The nominees for Most Leader-Like Cure are as follows: Cure Comet from Pretty Cure ad Astra by Aresd, Cure Goguru from Splatoon Precure by DaisyCinnimon, and finally, Cure Ember from Prime Pretty Cure by MonoTheMonochrome.”

Mary opened the envelope hastily.

“And the winner is… Cure Ember from Prime Pretty Cure!!! Congratulations! You’re a great example for all of the Precure watching tonight!”

“Hm, is this thing on?” Nova muttered as she tapped the microphone before her lightly. She still didn’t understand humans and their strange contraptions. As the audience fell silent and she heard a few giggles echo in the distance, Nova glanced over to the wings to see Caroline giving her a double thumbs up, and it brought a smile to her face.

“Hello everyone!” Nova said, waving at the crowd. She tried to quickly scan over the faces, but the lights were far too bright in her face, so she let it go. She was sure they were all lovely, should she have been able to see them.

“As I am certain that you are all aware, sometimes we all require additional assistance,” she began. “I certainly know that I do,” she chuckled. As she heard some laughter echo through the audience, she smiled triumphantly. She so rarely succeeded with earthly humour.

“Even those among our friends here tonight who are the legendary warriors, sometimes they find themselves in a… punch, as my dear friend Caroline would say.”

“Pinch, Nova. Pinch.” Caroline whispered very loudly and without any subtlety from the wings. Nova nodded.

“In a pinch, rather,” Nova shrugged. “But, in times such as those, they often find this support in the form of other fantastic beings who share their own light. And as my own Pretty Cure companions remind me regularly, it is always met with great appreciation, and that is why we are here tonight. I, Nova, am here to announce the winner of the Best Extra Hero/Helper for 2020! Some exuberant beings were nominated this year, and regardless of who wins, you are all stars! The nominees are Black Inky from Splatoon Precure by DaisyCinnimon, and Dreamy Cosmos from Yumeiro Pretty Cure by Gleam.

“And the winner is… Dreamy Cosmos from Yumeiro Pretty Cure! Congratulations to you, and have a great time everyone!”

Footsteps of excitement pattered up the podium as the brunette made her way to the stage. She beamed at the crowd, her chocolate eyes sparkling with joy. The girl was clothed in a short, light blue, dress; adorned with bows, ruffles, and plenty of cute embellishments. On her wavy hair was a large, distinguishable bow to complete the ensemble. The outfit was something straight out of a fairytale.

“Hello, everyone!” The brunette shouted to the crowd, waving both of her gloved hands with enthusiasm after she placed her papers down on the lectern. “I hope you’re all doing amazing on this wonderful night at the Fancuries! It’s an honor to be presenting here tonight! My name’s Arisu Miki, also known as Cure Wonder, the leader of the Happily Ever After! Fairytale Pretty Cure! Or, just the Fairytale Pretty Cure for short!” Arisu let out a giggle into the microphone. “The rest of the girls are here in the building, though I’m not sure where they are at the moment…”

“I’m sure they’re doing just fine!” She chuckled. “Anyways,” Arisu looked down at the lectern, shifting between reading her cards and watching the crowd. “Ever since I was a little girl, fairytales have been my absolute favorite thing in the whole world! I especially love how beautiful some of the outfits are in these whimsical stories! They’re some of the prettiest outfits that I’d love to wear at any time!” Arisu clasped her hands together as she surveyed the crowd, her mouth curling up into a cheerful smile.

“Which brings me to the award that I’ll be presenting! The Prettiest Cure award! These Cures were nominated due to how beautiful they are, having captivated the eyes and hearts of many! From the headpieces that they wear on their heads, all the way down to the shoes that cover their feet, these Cures are a sight to behold! We have a handful of nominees here,” The brunette shuffled through her papers, pulling out a paper with the list of candidates. “All deserving and absolutely worthy of the prize!”

“The nominees are… Cure Ocean from Siren Precure by aceaeite, Cure Promise from Cupid Pretty Cure by Haruruism, Cure Melon by Just a Melon Pan, Cure Bouquet from Welcome to Animal Crossing PreCure by Lulu Ruru, Cure Cygne, a fanfancure by marck for Brilliant Prince Pretty Cure, Cure Dhanu from Tentai Senshi Precure by Squid Girl, and Cure Sugar from Sweetheart Pretty Cure by Veroniquemagique! Oh, I wish I could magically duplicate the award and give one to each of you if I could!” Arisu paused and turned around to look at one of the staff members with a perplexed look on her face, her voice being slightly heard through the mic as she whispered to the worker, “Is it possible…?”

To her dismay, the staff member shook their head. “Aw… Oh well.” Arisu looked back at the crowd, keeping a positive smile. “On to the winner!” She placed her paper down on the lectern, picking up a cute envelope and carefully opening it, pulling out the letter with anticipation.

 “And the Prettiest Cure award goes to… Cure Ocean from Siren Precure! Congratulations!” The brunette happily clapped along with the crowd, who gave a loud and joyous round of applause.

With an excited look on her face, Arisu grabbed her papers and rushed off the stage. She skidded to a halt, surprised to see Amai, Charlotte, Chiisana, Gwyneria, and Usagi waiting for her by the stairs with proud smiles. Letting out a gasp and a squeal, Arisu excitedly rushed over to the girls, scooping up Usagi in her arms and bringing the rest of the girls into a group hug. The six of them returned to their seats shortly afterward.

"Greetings, everyone! My name is Kana Hoigaku, but I'm also known as the new famous detective, Cure Mystery, from Thriller⬥Truth Pretty Cure! Haha, I know, I know, I really am a professional before you all ask, it's no big deal, really. It's an honor to be here, and seeing other people who have magical powers just like me… it's been, well, amazing! Logically speaking, um… there's no way I could describe it, but… we all know that there's teams out there just like mine!

“Every team has a theme, and frankly, Tsubaki's the one in charge of ours… but other teams clearly know how to show off their, um… theme spirit? Theme team spirit! What makes up a team, and a whole series in general… that's one of the most important things a story can have! A story theme is essential, but I'll stop rambling now… it's time for the important part!

“The nominees for Unique Motif of the Year are Summer Cool ☆ Precure by Just A Melon Pan, Regalia Precure by Kazuko & Just A Melon Pan, Brilliant Prince Pretty Cure by Lou, Big Top★Precure! by marck, Toychest Pretty Cure! by Ryta-chan, Crystal Clear Pretty Cure by snow-will-fall, Loyal Aid Precure by soleil, Zenith Precure by Strawberry Sunrise, and Horror PreCure! by Taco.

“Let's see, open this envelope… ugh, I ripped it! But anyway, the winner of this award is Loyal Aid Precure! You have my deepest congrats, and I hope your story continues to have a theme as thrilling as the truth itself!"
