#shoujo kageki revue starlight

LIVE

tsunderetiddies:

was between Maya and Claudine.

Bear with me, guys. Remember Maya’s stage during her duel with Karen in episode 3? It’s this… high.

Surely, she had been using this stage since to assert her dominance over her rivals. Maya distanced herself using staircases, towers, and columns and used this as her main tactic, probably to tire her opponents before facing her. Karen, during her first duel against Maya, could not even change the landscape of the stage; she remained trapped in it until she lost. Karen (prior to her reunion with Hikari in episode 4) only cut the rope of a meager chandelier. But to be fair, the Revue the Giraffe presented was not in her favor. (Karen’s Pride as a butai shoujo could never rival Maya’s).

Then, imagine Claudine’s duel against Maya in episode 2. We learned in episode 10 how Claudine can be very destructive on stage:

And we may assume how Maya can be so cheekywith altering the topography of her stage to her advantage. When she wants you to feel so inferior, to see how far you can fall down to the ground, she won’t hesitate. Remember how she humiliated Karen by dropping her to a giant stuffed swan from a steep slide?

Anyone subjected to that will never appear graceful and dignified, especially if that tactic caught a dueler by surprise.

But, this happened. Maya versus Claudine.

Reduced to rubble. Both of them were standing on a pile of rubble at ground zero. It was also raining, so probably at some point in their duel, ceilings have been destroyed. The only difference is that Maya won and Claudine lost. What were they thinking, feeling about this duel and about each other that ruined the stage to this.

Now, imagine that ferocious battle that we never saw.

Yooo, I started a new mayakuro fic! You can go read the first chapter on ao3.

Forever and always I want to cross swords with you

Been working on my own mayakuro nendos for a while now and finally finished! I love them so much, ahhhhhh!!!

(More photos and progress pics below)

I was really lucky I could get this sick uniform, it even has the little bow in the back. And the hairstyles are just perfect. Maya’s hair was a pain to color regardless. As for her bow, one of my friends was nice enough to make it out of paper clay!

Claudine lifts up Maya's hand to place a kiss on her knuckles.

Found the sketch for this in my sketchbook, thought it was cute enough to make a proper drawing out of it
