Kuro and Madara both seem like maine coons but Madara(and also Leo ) also give me calico vibes. Kuro also fits the norwegian forest cat.
Himeru is one of those freaky ass lanky oriental cats or a russian blue
Adonis is an egyptian mau or a siamese, Kaoru is an orange, Rei is a regular black cat but with weirdly shiny fur and Kouga is a cat who was raised by pitbulls and will not accept the reality that he’s not a pitbull
Keito is a regular european/domestic shorthair but with a weirdly green tint to it
I would say Mika is a khao manee due to the eyes but he is big eyed dark brown colored LaPerm( the specific image I have in mind is one of the pictures in The Cat Encyclopedia and I’m not even sure if it’s for that breed)
Tori is a munchkin
OK OKOK SO i actually already have breed hcs for everyone bc im so autistic abt cats i was gonna wait to talk abt them as i made the cat designs but progress is going really slow on those and now that someone is talking to me about it i cant make myself shut up . i agree with a lot of these !!! im just gonna go ahead and list all of my hcs though bc im insane (these are my somewhat realistic color hcs for what they would be if i didnt choose to make them all candy colored when i draw them lol)
(disclaimer: this is on appearance alone, not all these breeds and mutations are ethical, not all these colors actually appear in the breed stated or are combinations that dont exist, and some of these colors/breeds are extinct)
gonna put this under a readmore cuz its ...... a lot (i woulda added pics too but theres definitely way more than 10 cats here)
fine
eichi - ragdoll, cream point, important to note he is a purebred show cat
wataru - oriental longhair, blue bicolor harlequin
tori - munchkin/british shorthair, dilute calico
yuzuru - domestic shorthair (feral TNR), tuxedo, otter like coat texture
-------
trickstar
subaru - abyssinian, cinnamon
hokuto - american bobtail, black with blue undertones and low white
makoto - scottish fold, golden, non breed standard (longer face)
mao - ragamuffin, red with high white

ibara - chausie (feral), blue cream
jun - thai pisaat, black ticked tabby, kinked tail (pisaat characteristic)
-------
undead
rei - oriental longhair, black (looks brown in sunlight), long teeth (this isnt a mutation, some cats just have longer teeth than others— my design is inspired by mingus the panther, a black oriental shorthair that was popular on the internet for his huge fangs)
kaoru - turkish van, medium longhair, red chinchilla tabby/white
adonis - arabian mau, but with toyger coloration
koga - lykoi, dark gray/black roan, thinks hes a wolf due to being raised with dogs and the lykoi being known as the "werewolf cat"
-------
knights
leo - domestic shorthair, dense coat, medium white calico, long teeth
izumi - domestic shorthair, lilac striped tabby with low white

mika - appears to be a kurilian bobtail, actually domestic longhair (medium), black heavy tortie, odd eyes and bobtail mutation (khao manee cats do have odd eyes, but can only be white. also mikas backstory lends itself to him being a randombred)
-------
2wink
theyre twins, so both are red classic tabby domestic shorthairs. theyre somewhat smaller than most cats .
-------

ᴀᴋɪø ᴀᴋᴜᴍᴀ (sᴛʀᴀʏᴋɪᴅs)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
AKIØ (아키오) is a member of the co-ed 4th gen group "Stray Kids" but was formally a trainee under YG Entertainment and was set to debut with BLACKPINK before being cut due to her young age and simply not being ready to debut at the time. Not wanting to let her talent go to waste, YG recommended her to JYP, and they decided to test her skills and see if she really was an 'ace' as YG proclaimed. Members Bang Chan, Felix, and Minho were there at her evaluation, and first hand experienced her overwhelming talent. After some long hours and days of convincing, Bang Chan convinced JYP that Aiko needed to be apart of the Stray Kids survival show and as per his request, JYP gave in and decided to let her be apart of it.
STAGE NAME: AKIØ (아키오)
BIRTH NAME: Aiko Shimura (志村愛子)
KOREAN NAME: Soo-ho (수호 시무라)
ENGLISH NAME: Azzy Shimura
POSITIONS: Vocalist, Rapper, Maknae
BIRTHDAY: April 17, 2002
ZSIGN: Aries
HEIGHT: 157cm (5'2)
MBTI: INTP---->ISTP
REPRESENTATIVE ANIMAL: Black Panther
UNIT: VocalRacha
NICKNAMES: YG's Secret Weapon, 4th Gen Siren, Fearless Maknae, Demon of K-POP
INSTAGRAM: akiø.akuma
YOUTUBE: whosakiø.__.
Tumblr media
AKIØ FACTS:
• Aiko was born and raised in Tokyo, Japan until she moved to Houston, TX at 5 before moving back to Japan at 10
• At 10 she was kicked out of her home by her mother after a heated argument
• After attempting to finish middle school, she decided to drop out due to her mental health
• At 12, she auditioned for YG and got accepted
• While at YG, she trained with the members who would eventually become BLACKPINK
• Aiko looked up to them and the PINKS treated her like their younger sister
• Has the second longest training period among Stray Kids (2014-2017)-(2017-2018)
• Aiko's SKZOO character is KURO a black panther cub that sometimes comes with a blue bowtie
• Aiko's hair is really long and she's always had it dyed the tips of her hair since she debuted at JYP and she's tried to match the color of her hair with every comeback
• She has a German Shepherd named Clover and Pre-debut she had a dog of the same breed named Ryuko
• Because of Aiko's language skills and being fluent in most of them, her pronunciation in singing songs in those languages (i.e eng, jpn, & kor.) are very good which makes her vocals stand out more
• Her dancing is in no way terrible, she can easily keep up with most of the talented female dancers in the industry, but when it comes to dances with her members is where she gets mixed up. Being the only girl in the group, she has to work harder to learn the choreo.
• Aiko revealed in a live that her stage name if she would've debuted with BLACKPINK would've been 'AKUMA', and the PINKS still sometimes call Aiko by her old stage name
• Among the members her nicknames include: Ai, Shortie, Gen Z representative
• Is a member of Paboracha by default since she dropped out of middle school which her members like to joke about
• Would've possibly debuted with ITZY if Chan didn't call for Aiko when he did
• Besties with half the industry due to her friendliness
• While living at the dorms, she'd wake up at 6am every morning without fail and head to the JYP practices rooms to workout and practice
• Best english speaker along with channie and felix and they're jokingly refered to as 'EnglishRacha'
• Occasionally does lives where she either watches shows or movies, plays games, or dance practices with Hyunjin
• It was revealed that out of all the members, Ai is the one that swears the most, which comes as a surprise to many since she's so quiet on camera
• Has an iconic 'annoyed' look STAYs like to joke about
• Despite their rivalry, Minho revealed that Aiko is the most selfless member and will do anything to make someone happy
• A picky eater but if someone made food for her she'll eat it
• Helped write some of SKZ more emotional songs such as '#LoveSTAY', 'Silent Cry', and more recently 'Youtiful'
• Although her MBTI is ISTP, she is more loud and energetic when around the other members, close friends, and STAYs, which causes her to be an introverted extrovert
• When a STAY asked over bubble for a spoiler for the 'ending' of SKZ lore, she responded with '💀' which led to speculate that her 'character' AKIØ will die
• In 2020, she collaborated with BLACKPINK on their track, "Lovesick Girls" which reunited the old trainee friends
• While filming the MV for Lovesick Girls, she accidentally called ROSÉ 'oppa' since she was so used to filming with her members instead of girls
• Channie said it himself that Aiko has the best stage presence out of them all, and refers to it as 'YG stage presence' since Aiko still has the mentality of being a YG trainee
• When asked about her favorite MV among SKZ, she revealed that VENOM was her favorite since she finally got to rap and be a villain
• Her favorite era is NOEASY era since her hair was blue and her first solo 'HWAA' was released
• Aiko admitted in a live that her relationship with JYP is a little strained since the survival show when he eliminated Minho and Felix
• During May of 2023 it was revealed that Hyunjin and Aiko have been dating since 2020 which sparked chaos with STAYs, some being supportive and some being toxic, but even so the two seem to be unbothered

here is it!!! this is for Kazujun week Day 6 ( Future ) but it can actually be seen as something separate as well!
this fanart takes place awhile after Tekken 8 story mode! it is basically what we wanna see. It's around 6 month after the story mode and Jun and Kazuya are exploring the world in hiding. Healing together. They rescue a black panther from the black market whom Kazuya names Kuro and becomes his pet.
fun fact! Jun is a week pregnant in this fanart, she hasn't realised it yet though 🤭🤭
i seriously want Story DLC's asap! they can't leave us on a cliffhanger until Tekken 9 lol, that would be a long wait!, i am manifesting a Story DLC focused on Kazujun in DLC of Season 1.
this was a commission by Cloud!

Can you explain more about the rest of the vanrouge kids minus shadow Livia and golden please? And maybe Thea too though you don't have to.
Thea is the top healer of Twisted Wonderland and she's five years younger than Lilia. She has a Healer Code that she stands by even all those years after the days of war against the humans. She's a protective and sweet mother who never hesitates to help her children or defend them from others and can become quite temperamental when it comes to her husband. She's not based off of anybody really and was a character who's been around since the beginning of everyone's development. Her name before it was chosen to be Thea was Eleanor.
Maria is the white rabbit of twst and she's a healer just like her mother and a pacifist. She actually has a pocketwatch Cobra fixed and gave her so she can always be on time for things due to being a little aloof and sometimes having her head in the clouds when it should be on the ground.
Ralph is a golden wolf and king to his hidden kingdom. He was actually nearly killed by his stepmother under the lie of it being a way to earn her affection and the Vanrouge's took him in after he bursted out of the water and scared some of the kids. Being protective is an UNDERSTATEMENT, this man would call his whole army for his family no matter how small it is, he'd come running with an army of wolves with him if there's a problem. The soldiers have gotten so used to it they don't even miss a beat when following him.
Lavender is based on the actual flower as she is very sweet and her hair gives off a nice fragrance. She is homeschooled and taking classes from Nilo under her mother's request and is actually the only child to not receive any battle or healer training.
Elikai and Barin are brothers that Lilia attacked when he temporarily wasn't in his right mind due to his fear of Owen screwing shit up for him and his family. Both boys attend Noble Bell Collage together and are pretty dangerous when they're fighting together thanks to combat training.
Kuro is Maleficents bird and he is a LOUDMOUTH literally, mans can't keep quiet for more than a few seconds, eight at least. He's Livia's "twin" brother, the one who replaces Ella after Thea gave her up to keep away from her but he has a morbid feeling that he and Livia are not related but he doesn't care family is family, a twins a twin, nobody can change his mind.
Gaspen is the coward of the family but he does become stronger thanks to training and can get easily obsessed with people and items but hie family hasn't seen his obsessed side nor can they sense the change in his aura.
Callisto is Silver's elder twin who was separated from him after both were put to sleep. He was found by an unnamed panther fae and taken care of until Darkbane possessed him. He is actually very sweet and caring but he still has the ruthless and cruel side that Darkbane forced upon him.

I've had this gal on the backburner for a while, but while I'm still on a lil future kick but irl chaos has stopped me from being able to wrap up my future KouYasha designs, and she's one of my favorite oc designs I've made, I figured I might as well reveal her now!
Meet Kurohyo! Inuyasha and Kouko's future daughter! Like. WAY in the future. Her design shown here is when she's about 17! ^^ She's about an inch or two shorter than her mom, those tall genes hit like a truck.
To gently nudge the elephant out of the room, yes! She is a panther demon. While I try my best to be as accurate to the show as I can, Kurohyo is my little treat, because I had such a vivid mental image of her when I first had her pop into my head that I couldn't bare to change it, LMAO- Whether there was some odd phenomenon with Kouko's pregnancy with her, or some recessive genes (Probably futher back on Kouko's side) that came to light with a vengance, somehow Kuro ended up a partial demon with panther traits. Though she does have the ears and tail, she's not as strong as most demons basically at all, and is more smarts than brute power.
Kurohyo is Kouko and Inuyasha's only child, born after a year or two of trying. They weren't too sure they'd be able to manage it until Kouko finally got pregnant with her, and there was essentially pure joy from the moment they realized. (Asides from the usual woes of pregnancy LMAO)
Kuro was born near midnight one night, when the moon was full in the sky, and while there was understandably shock when they managed to get a good look at her, they were honestly too happy she seemed extremely healthy to care.
But she's definitely her father's daughter, and got both Kouko's past playful nature, and her dad's attitude. She was an absolute adorable menace as a child, and it wasn't at ALL uncommon for one of her parents to have to take birds she chased down and caught away from her so she wouldn't eat them. Kouko only took her hair out from a bun after she hit 7, because she finally stopped being a hair puller. She was an extremely chaotic little kid, but after long enough, and her hitting double digits in age, she leveled out, and grew much more mellow, even if sass definitely remained.
Nowadays, (Aka, during the time of this design of her) she's a very skilled strategist, and though she's not powerful magically, she makes up for it in problem solving and brains. Though she looks a bit villainous, she's really just a massive stoic softy, and is extremely mindful of life around her. Does she still have that original fire though? Yes. Absolutely. She will square up and play fight with her mom or dad for fun, they're a very playful family. Lovingly brawling with her parents is one of the few times her near somber, graceful mask falls and she turns into a pure dork.
She's still a lil bit of a work in progress, so some of this info might be updated or adjusted in the future, but I just wanted to share her! ^^ Expect more on her in the future!

Let’s go for another round of obtuse Kanji names, this time with Lunalights. The archetype’s Japanese name is ムーンライト, Moonlight, written in Katakana. The archetype’s Kanji name is 月光, Gekko(u), which means Moonlight. It is literally the combination of Getsu (moon), and ko (light). The Kanji  光, ko, can also be spelled hikari, and it is the Kanji name of LIGHT Attribute, which is the Attribute of Lunalight Pendulum Monsters.
The Katakana, Moonlight, alludes to the OP of Sailor Moon animé, Moonlight Densetsu, since this archetype is inspired by Sailor Moon. The Kanji, Gekko, alludes to Moonlit Papillon, one of Droite’s cards, whose Deck is also an inspiration to Lunalights (and whom I speculate was intended to be in ARC-V for this reason). It also likely refers to Gekkou no Diana, an old shojo manga.
**Lunalight Blue Cat’s Katakana name is ムーンライト・ブルー・キャット, Moonlight Blue Cat, and the Kanji name is 月光蒼猫, Gekko Aoi Neko, Moonlight Blue Cat.  蒼, Aoi, means blue (though can also mean green), and 猫, neko means cat.
**Lunalight Purple Butterfly’s Katakana name is ムーンライト・パープル・バタフライ, Moonlight Purple Butterfly, and its Kanji name is 月光紫蝶, Gekko Murasaki Cho. The Kanji 紫, murasaki, which refers to red-root gromwell, the natural dye which gives the color purple (in Japanese, purple color is called murasaki-iro, murasaki color). It can also colloquially mean woman. 蝶, cho, literally means insect (as we discussed before), but this specific Kanji is used for butterflies.
**Lunalight White Rabbit’’s Katakana name is ムーンライト・ホワイト・ラビット, Moonlight White Rabbit, and its Kanji name is 月光白兎, Gekko Hakuto.   白兎, Hakuto, can refer to white rabbit, or Echigo hare with its winter fur specifically. 白, shiro, means white, but also has connotations with innocence. 兎, usagi, means rabbit.
**Lunalight Black Sheep’s Katakana name is ムーンライト・ブラック・シープ, Moonlight Black Sheep, and its Kanji name is 月光黒羊, Gekko Kuro Hitsuji. 黒, kuro, literally means black, but is also has connotations with guilt. 羊, hitsuji means sheep.
Note: Due to historical allusions of Shiro with White Magic Alignment, and Kuro with Dark Magic Alignment, and existing contrasting allusions of both Kanji to innocence/guilt, the two cards are likely meant to be counterparts of each other.
**Lunalight Wolf’s Katakana name is ムーンライト・ウルフ, Moonlight Wolf. Its Kanji name is 月光狼, Gekko Okami. 狼, okami, means wolf, but literal etymology comes from oo+kami, ie. great god.
**Lunalight Tiger’s Katakana name is ムーンライト・タイガー, Moonlight Tiger. Its Kanji name is 月光虎, Gekko Tora. 虎, Tora means tiger.
**Lunalight Cat Dancer’s Katakana name is ムーンライト・キャット・ダンサー, Moonlight Cat Dancer. Its Kanji name is 月光舞猫姫, Gekko Mai Neko Hime, Moonlight Dancing Cat Princess. 舞, mai, can mean dance, flit, circle, or wheel, or refer to the Mai Dance (this is where Lunalight Fusions’ Design come from). 猫, neko, is the same as above. 姫, hime, means princess, concubine, or woman, though this Kanji is generally used as Princess in Yu-Gi-Oh!. It is the same Hime Kanji as in Melodious Songstress/Maestra monsters.
Note: Due to repeating Kanji, Lunalight Cat Dancer is explicitly meant to be the Fusion form of Blue Cat.
Note 2: Mai Kanji is the same as in Mai Kujaku’s name, 孔雀 舞, Kujaku Mai (Dancing Peacock), so this is a deliberate allusion to Mai.
**Lunalight Panther Dancer’s Katakana name is ムーンライト・パンサー・ダンサー, Moonlight Panther Dancer. Its Kanji name is 月光舞豹姫, Gekko Mai Hyo Hime, which means Moonlight Dancing Leopard Princess. 豹, hyo, means panther, though it also alludes to Windwitches’ Hyo (Ice) Kanji.
**Lunalight Leo Dancer’s Katakana name is ムーンライト・ライオ・ダンサー, Moonlight Lio Dancer. Its Kanji name is 月光舞獅子姫, Gekko Mai Shisha Hime, which means Moonlight Dancing Lion Princess. 獅子, Shishi, can mean Lion, though it can also mean:
Synonym of ライオン (raion, “lion”) (big cat Panthera leo) (by extension from the notion of lions being "kings") the Buddha, a Buddha short for 獅子舞 (shishimai), a traditional Chinese lion dance short for 獅子頭 (shishigashira), the lion mask traditionally worn for the lion dance short for 除夜の獅子 (joya no shishi, “New Year's lion”), a person dressed in costume as for a lion dance who goes door to door begging on New Year's Eve a guardian statue commonly found outside temples and shrines, often with a komainu statue, the tradition for which is said to have come over from the Korean peninsula
This explains the masks Leo Dancer wears on its knees. The Kanji, 獅, shi, means lion.  子, shi, generally means child, but can also mean midnight, among other things. In original Chinese, shishi basically means small lion, though they might be going for the midnight meaning here.
**Lunalight Reincarnation Dance’s Katakana name is ムーンライト・リンカネーション・ダンス, Moonlight Reincarnation Dance. Its Kanji name is 月光輪廻舞踊, Gekko Rinne Buyo. 輪廻, rinne, means reincarnation, but can refer to attachment, or a repetitive cycle in general (Yes, this is where Rinnegan from Naruto comes from). 舞踊, buyo, means dance, but generally refers to the Buyo Dances.
The Kanji,  輪, rin, can mean cycle, or flower. Of course this also alludes Rin, and Yuzu’s element, En Flowers.
The Kanji 廻, ne, can mean round, revolve, go around, or circumference. So rinne, revolving cycle, or revolving flowers.
The Kanji  舞, bu, is the same as the mai Kanji as above. Bu is just an alternative spelling.
The Kanji 踊, yo, means to dance, or to jump around.
**Lunalight Crimson Fox’s Katakana name is ムーンライト・クリムゾン・フォックス, Moonlight Crimson Fox. Its Kanji name is 月光紅狐, Gekko Beni Kitsune, Moonlight Crimson Fox. The Kanji 紅, beni, can refer to crimson, or safflower, which is the origin of the color. It also other meanings, including lipstick, or woman. 狐, kitsune, means fox, but also refers to kitsune.
**Luna Light Perfume’s Kanji name is 月光香, and its Hiragana spelling is Gekkouga. The Kanji 香, ka, by itself means fragrance, or incense, but here it is likely the short form of 香水, kosui, perfurme. Ga is not a used spelling of the Kanji. The card here is likely alluding to the transformation items from Pretty Cure, which are perfumes, though artwork is closer to trinkets from Sailor Moon.
Note: Because of the lack of the forced Katakana, this card is not part of the Lunalight archetype. It is merely a support card.
**Lunalight Kaleido Chick’s Katakana name is ムーンライト・カレイド・チック, Moonlight Kaleido Chick. Its Kanji name is 月光彩雛, Gekko Ayahina. The Kanji 彩, aya, means coloring. The Kanji 雛, hina, can mean chick, or colloquially youngling. It also refers to a specific doll
a type of small doll, typically standing upright in the Heian period, changing style to a seated posture in the Muromachi period
Though we’ll go with Moonlight Coloring Chick.
The Aya Kanji is used is various cards, but most notably used in Sky Iris, and Double Iris Magician. The Kaleido part of the Katakana name is another allusion to Mai, this time Elegant Egoist (まんげきょう-かれいなるぶんしん-/ 万華鏡-華麗なる分身-, Mangekyō - kareinaru bunshin, Kaleidoscope -A splendid alter ego-). 
**Lunalight Yellow Marten’s Katakana name is ムーンライト・イエロー・マーテン, Moonlight Yellow Marten. Its Kanji name is 月光黄鼬, Gekko Ki Itachi, Moonlight Yellow Weasel. The Kanji 黄, ki, means yellow. The Kanji 鼬, itachi, means weasel, but it alludes to kamaitachi, which itself alludes to Shingo’s Yosenju monsters.
(Kiitachi Kanji also means Siberian Weasel in Chinese.)
**Lunalight Emerald Bird’s Katakana name is ムーンライト・エメラルド・バード, Moonlight Emerald Bird. Its Kanji name is 月光翠鳥, Gekko Suicho. The Kanji 翠, sui, means green specifically. The Kanji 鳥, cho, is the standard Kanji for bird.
(Suicho Kanji also means Kingfisher in Chinese.)
**Lunalight Sabre Dancer’s Katakana name is ムーンライト・サーベル・ダンサー, Moonlight Saber Dancer. Its Kanji name is 月光舞剣虎姫, Gekko Buken Tora Hime, Moonlight Dancing Sword Tiger Princess. The Kanji, 舞, bu, is the same as above.剣, ken, means sword, though specifically refers to double-edged sword. It can also mean swordsmanship, bayonet, or in entomology, a stinger, or ovipositor. Though in Yu-Gi-Oh!, it is the standard Kanji for sword. The Kanji 虎, tora, is the same as above. Same goes for Hime.
Note: This card’s name is a pun on sabretooth tiger, but because of the Tora Kanji this card is meant to be the Fusion form of Lunalight Tiger specifically.
**Lunalight Serenade Dance’s Katakana name is ムーンライト・セレナード・ダンス, Moonlight Serenade Dance. Its Kanji name is 月光小夜曲舞踊, Gekko Sayokyoku Buyo. 小夜曲, which can be read as Sayokyoku, or Shoyakyoku, means serenade. Sayokyoku is a combination of sayo (night), and kyoku (song).  The Kanji 小, sa/sho, means small. The Kanji 夜, yo/ya, means night. The Kanji 曲, kyoku, means song, or a piece of music. It can also mean bent, curve, to turn, to twist, or crooked. Buyo Kanji is the same as above.
The Katakana name of this card contains セレナ, Serena, which alludes to Serena, and Serenade the Melodious Diva (Japanese name: げんそうのおとめセレナ/幻奏の音女セレナ, Genso no Otojo, Serena, Serena the Melodious Diva). It also contains the Kanji 夜, ya, which indirectly alludes to Yuya.
**Lunalight Fusion's Katakana name is ムーンライト・フュージョン, Moonlight Fusion. The Kanji name is 月光融合, Gekko Yugo, Moonlight Fusion. The Kanji 融, yu, means dissolver, or melt, and 合, go, can mean fit, suit, join, or one tenth. Here, joining meaning is used. The Kanji for 融合, yugo, is probably better translated as amalgamation, since the term was historically used in Chinese for amalgamating metals, though current official localization, Polymerization, is not wrong.
***
A bit of addendums:
**The Lunalight archetype superficially alludes to Asuka’s Fusion Cyber Girls (NOT Cyber Angels, very important), which themselves are based off Mai’s Amazoness cards. A lot of the Kanji cut the middleman out, though, and directly allude to Mai herself.
***The actual Kanji allusions to Droite’s Butterspies might not just be because Lunalights are seductress assasins, but also because they were meant to be a Chaos archetype (use LIGHT and DARK), but neither archetype is well developed enough to utilize this idea. Tsukikage’s Twilight Ninjas are in a similar situation.
***The both this theme, and the original Cyber Girls are also allusions to old Ritual Card, Performance of Sword.
***Going by the “Hime” naming in the Fusion Cards, the implication seems to be that Lunalight were going to work alongside Melodious cards, but this never materialized. Much like how the “so” (instrument playing) Kanji in Melodious was likely originally intended for Equip Spells, as that archetype is more closely based off various GX cards, but specifically Judai, and Edo’s cards.
**The Lunalight monsters have the half mask thing Odd-Eyes variants have, though otherwise the archetype is more closely alludes to Starving Venom variants visually. It may be symbolic, but considering Katsumi Ono’s design principles in 5D’s, half mask design seems to be something he likes.
***Main Deck monsters have Crescents in the background, but Fusion monsters have Full Moon.
**The archetype’s DARK Beast-Warrior statlines allude to Barrett’s monsters (Panther Warrior, and Pitch-Black Warwolf), though they are likely based off Leopard Girl, a video-game only card from the old Konami games.
**This archetype is the only notable one in Yu-Gi-Oh! with a female monster in masculine outfit (Lunalight Black Sheep), but also a woman’s blazer (Lunalight Crimson Fox). This is obviously meant to allude to Serena’s orientation towards women, much like how Yuri’s cards are meant to give off hermaphoriditic vibe a la Yubel (and by proxy Judai). 
**The allusions to Mai Dance, and Buyo Dance means this archetype’s dancing theme is specifically meant to be narrative/theatrical dances. This ties into ARC-V’s theming of acting, or performing as playing (the “Yu”, in Yu-Gi-Oh!).
**I’m not going over the symbolism of each card, but the tl;dr is:
***The Fusion climbing gimmick of the Lunalight archetype is a mixture of Jim’s Fossils, and Judai’s (particularly earlier) Elemental HEROes.
***The Lunalights have the multi-attack on monsters gimmick of Judai’s earlier monsters, which carry over to Cyber Angels (and by proxy to Melodious cards, specifically Bloom Prima), and Yuya’s Odd-Eyes Fusions.
***The field invasion gimmick of Serenade Dance is explicitly based off Manjoume’s Ojamas, which Yuri hates, as Lunalights originally used Ojama Token generating cards for their OTK strategy.
**Serena’s Deck has allusions to all Bracelet Gİrls, but Yuzu stands out in particular, because the color Kanji uses plants, but also because of their common theming (dances vs. music). Though the original intention was clearly to have Serena to parallel Yuya (theatrical dance vs. circus performance), and Yuri parallel Yuzu (cannibal flowers vs. flower singers), since they are the morally darker counterparts of the protagonist duo, back when Yuzu was the deuteragonist of course.
**A lot of the Kanji used in Lunalights can colloquially allude to women, or prostitutes. So we are literally doing the virgin vs. whore dichotomy here.
**Lunalights use a lot of Kanji that can allude to an animal, or its mythical counterpart. This is the standard case for many ARC-V archetypes, and not really unique to them.
Edit: Further addendums:
**The overall animal theming of the archetype might also refer to Tokyo Mew Mew.
**The general Sailor Moon aesthetic of archetype is likely a joke on how Sailor Moon is likely a joke on the term Sailor Senshi (Sailor Warrior/Soldier), and Serena being a former Fusion soldier, but also a joke on how most of the Sailor Moon villains are actually Lovecraftian entities, tying into the whole Kadath theming of ARC-V.

I Need A Hero From ‘Black Panther' to ‘Spider-Man’ many superheroes are inspired by foundlings, orphans, adoptees and foster children.‘Superheroes, Orphans & Origins: 125 years in comics’ explores how these early life experiences shaped the characters they became. ‘Superheroes, Orphans & Origins’ has its origins in work commissioned by the museum in 2014 from poet and performer Lemm Sissay - who grew up in care. His poem ‘Superman Was a Foundling’ was printed on the walls of the museum’s ‘Study Studio’ and was intended to draw attention to the disparity between our admiration for fostered, adopted or orphaned fictional characters and what Sissay saw as a widespread disregard for their real-life counterparts. Many of the other works going on display have been created by international artists inspired by their own experiences in care. Carlos Giménez, creator of ‘Paracuellos’ (1976), spent much of his Spanish childhood moving between the “social aid” homes created during the Franco era. Lisa Wool-Rim Sjöblom’s’ 2019 work ‘Palimpsest’ reflects on her status as an international adoptee. Born in Korea, she lived in an orphanage until the age of two and was then adopted and lived in Sweden. Keiji Nakazawa survived the Hiroshima bombing, but his father, brother and sister died. His mother later died of related health issues, prompting him to create the manga series ‘Barefoot Gen’. Themes of abandonment and identity are traced through comic strips to the present day. Japanese manga characters from the 1990s and early 2000s, ‘Kuro’ and ‘Shiro’ from ‘Tekkonkinkreet’, appear alongside American comic ‘Jesse “Street Angel” Sanchez’ and contemporary graphic-novel protagonists including ‘Amina’ from ‘Zenobia’, who is a Syrian refugee. ‘Superheroes, Orphans & Origins: 125 years in comics’, ‘The Foundling Museum’, April 1 - August 28, 2022. #neonurchin #neonurchinblog #dedicatedtothethingswelove #suzyurchin #ollyurchin #art #music #photography #fashion #film #design #words #pictures #love #orphan #foundling #adoptees #fosterchildren #superheroes #blackpanther #spiderman #superman #batman #lemmsissay #dccomics #marvel #xmen #foundlingmuseum #london #superheroesorphansandorigins (at The Foundling Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChCEf2UM3NB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
