HappinessCharge AU: Reformed Villain Honey

A few nights ago, I had this dream that’s been stuck in my head ever since.

Basically, I dreamed for the second time that I did a fan rewrite HappinessCharge Precure, except this time, something was different.  A while after Cure Honey joined the team, it was revealed that she used to be part of Queen Mirage’s forces.  Prior to the start of the series, with Blue’s help, she’d reformed and became Cure Honey.  Her personality was mostly unchanged from her canon self -- she was still a compassionate, mature, food-loving girl -- and that was why Cure Lovely and Cure Princess were so surprised to learn that she’d once been a villain.

I think the idea is interesting.  A reformed villain Cure who became a protagonist before the story started, as opposed to being reformed by the lead?  And the reformed villain is a yellow Cure, and not the midseason?  Besides, it gives Cure Honey a bit more of an interesting backstory than she actually had.  Don’t get me wrong, I like Cure Honey, but despite seemingly already having her character development before the anime even started, her backstory is a bit lacking (other than the thing with that dog).

The dream has been bouncing around in my head ever since, so I used this dollmaker to make a potential design for what she may have looked like as a villain:

(I tried to make her look a bit like a honeybee.) What are your thoughts?

To commemorate the 10th anniversary of HappinessCharge Precure! an event will be held at Tokyo's Event Tower on December 12th 2024. All the four voice actresses of the main cast are going to join the fans to celebrate and sing the anime theme songs together! A new illustration drawn by the series character designer Masao Sato will promote the event.

I’ve. Known about precure for awhile and would like to check it out. what would u rec for a beginner of the series :o

i still have 6 seasons left to watch so my reccomendation might be lacking but! i do love precure so

reccomending precure is kind of difficult actually because every season has a different concept and a different director so it really depends on what you want to get out of watching it

i think futari wa is a pretty good start if you want to see what most of the noise is about, it's the first season and is usually the one that i saw referenced in other media before i got into the series. you can also see why this series has so much yuri fans,,, there's little of an overatching plot, (there is more of it in Max Heart but still not a lot), most of it is about the relationship between the two MCs which is written so well,,,

Heartcatch is also popular because it's most unique in terms of style and world building (well,, except for happinesscharge but that's because it's the same director), i'd say it has the best developed world and magical powers for the girls, personally i like singular episodes more than the season as a whole. the overall theme is about growing and changing as a person and they do it justice

but but but if you don't care about being chronological or watching heartcatch then Mahoutsukai would be my go-to, it also has a pretty great world building and magical power system, i love the concept for it (there being a magic world and a non-magic world), the writing is pretty seamless, it feels like most episodes have something to say, the characters are so enjoyable (at least to me) and there's just something so comforting about its positivity... it's silly and honestly just a fun time

I have just decided that I'm doing a PreCure binge this summer! (My Vocaloid project kinda maybe sparked a hyperfixation/reignited a special interest.)

Seasons I have completed:

♡◇DokiDoki ♧♤ (The newest season when I first discovered PreCure)

Current season in progress:

♡○HappinessCharge♧☆

Seasons I have partially watched but dropped due to time, school, Crunchyroll being a pain and pay-walling everything, etc; have priority on the watch list:

Yes 5

Fresh

Go! Princess

KiraKira

Tropical-Rouge

Healin' Good

Wonderful

What are your favorite PreCure seasons and/or Cure teams?

DokiDoki is mine by default, but I also legitimately think the season is underrated. Strong Cure design motifs? Fun villains? Plot that stays relevant in basically every episode? Cute fairies (Lance, my beloved)? Cure Sebastian? Check, check, check, check, check.

[nozoditz]

what your favourite precure season says about you, in no particular order

(or in the order I thought was funny. Please don't take offence to any of the jokes, this is all for fun. I'm making fun of myself too here.)

Max Heart: Whenever the debate starts up about low-combat seasons, no-combat seasons, what counts as low combat, whether you blame broadcast standards and practices, whether certain seasons should even be counted in the franchise, it's always you.

Heartcatch: You used to be new blood. You wore the new-blood badge proudly. Now you're old guard, and you're taking this about as well as you take the cashier at the liquor board store not carding you anymore.

Fresh: Every other redemption arc in the franchise is under a microscope with you people. Whether it was emotional enough. Whether they were sad enough. Whether they were too evil to deserve it or not evil enough to warrant it. Whether they're gay enough with the MC. We get it, you already have the gold standard in front of you!

Mahoutsukai/Mahou Girls/Witchy: You know how people used to turn up their noses at Precure and call it "the magical girl show for yuri fans"? You took that as a recommendation.

Otona/Full Bloom: You people deserve a war medal for how much shipping discourse you have to deal with every day out there. And a drink. [smash cut to the second Otona collab cafe being the first official Precure event with a liquor licence] Well, you got one of those things.

Doki Doki: You either go all in on the "stealth yuri harem show" thing or you have very strong opinions on which specific girl Mana should be with and how much better that girl deserved in general from the writers.

Tropical-Rouge: Memelord. You have watched Monopoly Mermaid Monday every week for years. You have put low-poly images of Kururun in every possible situation. You have substituted Asuka into every meme about characters from other shows being some kid's lesbian awakening. The animation errors are in your blood.

Star Twinkle: You have Opinions about all the times that the plot, setting, characters, merch, and screentime levels pivoted to try and drum up toy sales. I feel for you poor souls. On a meta level, this is the Go-Busters of Precure.

Hirogaru/Soaring Sky: You have a conspiracy board of how Sora/Mashiro is canon and how the staff are clearly suffering and straining to show it without the censors getting on their case. Possibly a literal conspiracy board on the actual wall of your home.

Go! Princess: I have never seen the reverse of "they're not gay, it's just admiration" as strongly as I have with you. You guys have just-friends goggles for Haruka/Kanata welded onto your face so she can end up with whichever other girl(s) you prefer instead. Live your best life.

Futari wa: You are a nostalgia fiend, the world's strongest Nagihono shipper, suffered in that 2010s wave of people complaining about Nagisa being a pessimistic whiner when her developing through that was half the point of the show, and still probably call Hikari useless and/or a third wheel. The first three points are valid, but get over the last one.

Smile: You will not watch anything that is 13 episodes or shorter. To you, people calling for the end of filler are calling for the end of character development, breathing room, and likeable characters and stories. Also you just love how silly it got.

5GoGo: This is basically the same as Smile but you had to walk uphill both ways in the snow for almost six years.

HappinessCharge: You could give an impassioned speech about how so many people had ideas about what this season should be that they never slowed down to appreciate what it is. But you're too chill for that and you just meme about Mars, wedding chicken, and eye lasers.

Healin' Good: You will never forgive COVID or the Olympics.

Splash Star: You originated the "Girly Dragon Ball" meme. There is no way a Splash Star fan isn't out there trying to evangelize their show to people who dismiss the season, series, and genre. It worked for Princess Tutu, you're convinced it's going to work for you.

Hugtto: You have opinions about the ending. You have opinions about which ships are canon and which ships should have been canon. You have opinions on the timeline. For my own safety, I will not get into a conversation with you about any of them.

Wonderful: I know the character work is great. I know the magical girl genre has evolved and Precure doesn't need to set itself apart from the competition when it's at the top of the heap. I know it's teaching kids important lessons. I just feel like you're a little stressed out and maybe you need a vacation.

Yes: You have spent far too long suffering children accusing you of being problematic and probably heterosexual, when I know you just love the stupid antics these girls get up to when every one of them thinks they're the only sensible person in the room and they are dead wrong.

Suite: You would also like the opportunity to punch your depression until it goes away, and I do not blame you.

Kirakira: Either you came here for Akiyuka or you watched all of Yumeiro Patissiere and probably mainline the Food Network.

Delicious-Party: Do you exist? I have never met someone who said their favourite season was Delicious-Party. Are you all congregating in the Tokusatsu Quarry? I can't generalize about people I'm not sure are even there to make jokes about.

[controversial-blorbo-bracket]

re: all the Cure submissions, while I didn't personally submit any, they're all from seasons that are to some extent contentious among precure fans; Dokidoki, HappinessCharge, and KiraKira especially stand out for this. (I do find it a little funny, though, that THREE out of four magical girls from HappinessCharge were submitted. Apparently only Cure Honey is free of sin.)
