The parallels my mind is making from Anya to Mamoru. A.k.a Princess Anastasia and Prince Endymion:

Teenage orphans with lack of identity due to memory loss.

Growing up having dreams every night connected to a life they used to have where they were royalty until their kingdoms fell to war and rebellion:

Music box that triggers their memories:

Context: I ended up having a lot of songs from the Anastasia musical on my playlist and one of the songs In My Dreams is just feeding my Mamo brainrot because, change a few lines and he could sing this.

[Diaclaimer, I haven't watched the musical but judging from the songs, I'd say it does not end the same way the movie does, so the parallel I'm making is mostly referring to the Don Bluth film with exception of this song from Broadway]

First verse:

'They said I was found

By the side of a road

There were tracks all around

It had recently snowed

In the darkness and cold

The wind in the trees

A girl with no name

And no memories, but these

Rain against a window

Sheets upon a bed

Terrifying nurses

Whispering overhead

“Call the child Anya

Give the child a hat”

I don’t know a thing before that'

Mamoru parallel:

Woke up in a hospital at age 6, doesn't recall his name or parents, nurses trying to figure out what to do with him.

Then this verse:

'You don’t know what it’s like

Not to know who you are

To have lived in the shadows

And travel this far

I’ve seen flashes of fire

Heard the echos of screams

But I still have this faith

In the truth of my dreams

In my dreams

It’s all real

And my heart has so much to reveal

And my dreams

Seem to say

“Don’t be afraid to go on

Don’t give up hope

Come what may”

I know it all will come back

One day'

Mamoru parallel: Do I need to explain? He's definitely had these very words going through his mind for the last 10 years of his life.

And then the parallels between Usa and Mamo and Dimitri and Anya:

Don't get along with their love interest at first:

They fall in love as they "search for" a missing princess:

Love interest turns out to be someone they knew from their past:

They regain their memories, decide to give up royalty in favor of a life with love interest. (Give or take 100 years in Usamamo's case)

But also Anastasia is just a movie I've loved since I was a kid. And I'm honestly just really intrigued by the story and how a mystery from real life history, has turned into a beloved fictional romance.

The Sailor Moon parallel is just my mental illness 💀

3, 5 and 15 for the otp ask 💖

thank you my love!! <3

send me otp asks

3. What is something you look for in an otp? oooh, i look for opposites attract. i love a dark, brooding boy paired with a sunny girl. i love height difference. i love let me protect you (especially from the weaker of the duo). i want trust & love & i want to see their romance unfold. it can be slow burn or fast, i dont care. i just want to FEEL what they feel for each other.

5. Why do you ship the otps that you do? because they offer me all of those above things and usually more. zutara gave me enemies to friends to lovers. they built an unshakable bond / trust in one another to the point that it was katara that zuko wanted by his side to finally face his sister once and for all. usamamo gives me the 'i wanna protect the person i love' from both sides- usagi being the powerhouse she is constantly is saving and bringing those she loves back from death. it kills mamoru that he can't be that person for he, but it doesn't stop him from trying. also their love transcends time itself??? jonsa gives me ultimate trust between two people- sansa finds jon after the worst period in her life, a period that has opened her eyes to being a new person, a BETTER person. jon has just come back to life and has something new to live for that he didnt have before. MAN I COULD GO ON AND ONNNNNNN

15. What do you think their favorite things are to do together? Ex watch movies, shopping, ect. Ooh okay well usamamo LOVE to go on shopping / lunch dates. then spend the evening curled up on the couch together. zutara loves to spar together, followed up by a different sort of sparring session in their bedroom. jonsa loves to take long walks now that spring has come, watching as the North comes back to life from the long winter. they take Ghost with them and watch him run, hear him howl, and spend long hours in each other's arms beneath the heart tree. Sansa will sometimes read to him, his head in her lap, one hand in his hair.

What's your honest opinion on Usagi and Mamoru as a couple?

As cute as they are, they are clearly a product of its time, to say the least.

However, they still have a place inside my heart, as they were my very first ship. I like how they complement eachother personality-wise, though even so, Mamoru himself isn't immune to shenanigans (i.e.: Rehearsing his cheesy romantic speeches as Tuxedo Mask, or even faking a sickness to avoid dealing with royal duties as Endymion).

I also like how they subvert fairy tale tropes. At first glance, you assume that Tuxedo Mask is the one who saves Sailor Moon from danger, but as you go deep into the story, you learn it's the opposite (who gets brainwashed? Who gets gravely injured? Who gets inflicted with a mysterious illness? Certainly not the heroine).

Oh, and I also have this headcanon that Mamoru is a he/him lesbian, thanks to SeraMyu (he's played by a woman in the musicals). Really, no one in Sailor Moon is straight/cis.

I prefer UsaMamo more than SeiUsa, because Usagi and Mamoru have a history together; they're literally star-crossed lovers, will eventually have Chibiusa in the future, their love acts as a power-up (i.e.: The Cutie Moon Rod in the manga), and have at least promised to wait (Mamoru gives a promise ring to Usagi before he leaving Japan in the final arc/season).

Take this with a grain of salt, but I am inclined to believe that Seiya and Usagi were shipteased back in the 90's anime because Kunihiko Ikuhara was on the staff, and as we all know, hated Mamoru's guts, and not only he would attempt to kill him off, he would try to replace him with Seiya instead.

You see, the thing with Seiya falling in love with Usagi, is that this is a trauma response; they're grieving for their Princess Kakyuu, who has gone missing, and they've latched onto Usagi's infectious kindness and charisma in desperation. At least, is how I see it.

Anyways, that's how I feel about Usagi and Mamoru as a couple. Maybe it's nostalgia filter in my brain, but I do find them adorable.

UsaMamo Week Day 3 - Love Letter (Poem)

For this prompt for @usamamoweek2023 I wrote a poem inspired by the Stars arc in the Anime:

I write to you in hope you hear,

I wish with all my heart that you were here.

My helping hand, my rock, my love,

My guardian angel in the dark.

Although I know that time has come

For you to spread your wings and have some fun,

Your laugh and wisdom sorely missed

Alas, I will still exist.

And think of kisses at midnight,

And fireworks while being held tight,

Of our adventures and our talks,

How our whole life felt unorthodox.

Beach days spent lounging in the sun…

I know our story has just begun,

But it is hard to let you go,

I’m feeling caught in the undertow.

Without you near I feel alone,

Unsure for which misteps I must atone.

How to pretend that I am fine,

Without crying all the time.

I have not heard from you quite yet,

I know that I shouldn't fret,

And show patience, show growth,

But that's the part I really loathe…

In closing, I hope you are doing well,

And in your studies you excel.

Think of me now and again,

I'll make do with my paper and pen.

Oh no. So, because I’ve been bouncing from hyperfixation to hyperfixation, I’ve been trying to keep half of them quiet, but it’s literally about six or seven different fandoms that I’ve been reading fic for--and the thing you have to understand is that for about the last five years, I haven’t read any fic other than just the one fandom. I kept collecting fic for later, but I only ever just kept reading Star Wars fic, that’s all my heart wanted. I’m still kind of marveling that I’m reading non-SW fic again, much less in the quantities I’ve been going through, much less in literally half a dozen fandoms at once. Batfam, Trigun, Kuroko no Basuke, One Piece, Genshin Impact, Raven Cycle, Haikyuu... and then I picked up a few FF7 fics, though, I haven’t had time to start them. It’s been kind of A Lot. But then one post from the Cosmos movie and I’m like OH SHIT I NEED SOME POST-STARS USAMAMO FIC RIGHT NOW and I am currently about eight tabs deep into looking for fic and, like, this is my very longest running fandom, I have stuck with Sailor Moon longer than anything else, in that I have never left it even for a day, but I don’t read much fic and now I DESPERATELY NEED POST-STARS FIC, this can’t be good for me.

Meet the Creators - Daikon

What username(s) and platform(s) can folx find you on? (Please include links!)

I write under the penname "Daikon", which was unfortunately already taken on Ao3 and Tumblr, so there I use @daikon1

I do also still technically have a FFN account, but it is no longer being maintained or updated.

(Fun Fact) What is your favorite kind of potato?

Oh gosh, I've spent like a week thinking about this and still don't have a good answer. It's probably either twice baked or french fries with some kind of condiment (ranch, BBQ, BBQ ranch, honey mustard, I could go on)

How long have you been creating works in fandom spaces? How long have you been active in the SM fandom?

I technically submitted my first fanfiction to a Buffy archive back in 2004 but MERCIFULLY they didn't end up sharing it on their site. I discovered FFN around 2007 but didn't start actually posting content (and then only sporadically) until 2009.

Regarding fandom spaces, I've come to and from the Sailor Moon fandom over the years; in 2005 I was OBSESSED with Alicia Blade and was dying every time she updated Love Potion #19. Over time, I wandered away and found other fandoms to invest in (shoutout to Kingdom Hearts) though I was much more of a lurker than anything. I didn't really find my way back to Sailor Moon until 2019 when I stumbled on @floraone (and started dying every time she updated The Unintentional Seduction of Chiba Mamoru). Ignoring one fluke-y and OOC piece from 2014, I've been writing for the SM fandom since mid-2020 and am hoping to stay here for a while :)

What type(s) of creative works do you usually make? (fanfics, digital art, cosplay)

I'm a strictly fanfic kind of girl.

What do you enjoy about creating for the SM fandom?

I love the characters and am low-key obsessed with the dynamic between Usagi and Mamoru. I started watching Sailor Moon when it was first airing in the US in 1995 and when I say that shit was formative for me, I am not exaggerating. My favorite relationship dynamic is definitely snarky, stupidly-in-love A seeks sunshine-y-but-perpetually-annoyed-with-them B.

Are you strictly UsaMamo or do you create for other pairings as well?

I don't mind having various sideships in my works, but I don't think I have the emotional investment in any other SM ships to actually write a piece centering them.

What inspires you to create works for Usagi and Mamoru?

TBH, I have been struggling a bit with inspiration of late (I had a bad bout of burnout early in the year that I'm still recovering from) so, you know, once I figure that out... XD

In general, I've noticed that music tends to be something I find very inspiring. The right lyric can shake up my thought processes and sometimes give me a whole piece of writing (see: then you showed up...) In the event that music isn't working, brainstorming with my beta, @floraone, can nearly always unstick me when I can't find any momentum.

If the question is supposed to be more of like, why UsaMamo, see above re: what I enjoy about creating for SM.

Do you tend to work on multiple projects (WIPs) simultaneously or try to finish one at a time?

I don't like to have multiple multichapters going at the same time if I can avoid it. I do tend to have a multichapter in the works, and will pause my active multichapter for a fandom event (such as a gift exchange or UsaMamo week) or if I have a plotbunny I can't shake. However, I tend to try to keep any side works short (ideally a one shot or a novella-length multichapter).

I also have a handful of ideas/story fragments that are basically paused in my drafts folder because I don't have the interest/bandwidth to tackle them at this time, but I might eventually come around to. In an ideal world, I would finish them one at a time

Do you prefer large projects (chaptered fics, webtoons/zines, highly detailed art) or small projects (one-shots or simple art)?

They both have their own challenges and rewards. I find it's much easier to hit a wall in a multichapter, whereas a oneshot you get to finish and push out and "check off", as it were. However, a multichapter tends to grow an audience and have folks invested in where it's going, which is both lovely and validating (and sometimes a lot of pressure!) Multichapters are a lot more of a commitment - I can get an idea for a oneshot and churn it out in a week when I'm feeling inspired, whereas a multichapter invariably takes more time and (at least for me) I don't feel like I can take on several at once in the same way I can tackle a oneshot plotbunny and keep moving. A oneshot is also more of a self-contained "complete thought" while a multichapter can be a bit more sprawling, which gives you more space to explore and innovate.

All that is to say, I'm not sure if I really have a strong preference one way or the other. I like both, for different reasons.

Are there any common themes, situations, tropes, or mediums in your work?

LOL so basically whatever I'm currently tackling in therapy tends to pop up in my writing. Grief and self-worth are big ones lately, which I think is part of the reason I'm feeling less inspired of late. While they are important things to process, I don't necessarily always want to be grappling with those heavy feelings during my fun creative times.

Also, you know. Idiots in love. Healthy and accurate portrayals of sexuality. Minako being a disaster queen. And when I can work it in, I love self-referencing my own works in a kind of multiversal invocation

Is there anything you haven’t explored artistically and would like to try?

Nothing's coming to mind! As mentioned, I'm a writer through-and-through, so I'm not interested in trying a new medium at this time. I think if I did come up with some form of experimental writing I wanted to play with, my beta would be delighted to support me, but right now I'm happy to stick to mostly traditional romantic comedies with a side of emotional processing.

Forgiven

Rating: Mature

No Archive Warnings

Written for UsaMamo Week 2023, Day 2

Sailor Moon is forgiven by Tuxedo Kamen for Serenity's final actions.

Usagi startled awake, an event that had been happening far too frequently as of late. Luckily Luna was out checking in with headquarters, leaving Usagi blissfully alone. The images in her head haunted her; she could focus on nothing else. Sometimes she awoke screaming, to the grumblings of her family; it’s happened so often now, that they didn’t even get up to check on her anymore.

She rubbed her temples, groaning. There was no helping it; she wasn’t getting back to sleep. She knew if she did, the dreams would come again. She needed to get out of there - and there was no Luna to scold her.

“Moon Prism Power, Make Up!”

The power embracing her comforted only a little. So she slid stealthily outside her windowsill, her silhouette sweeping over the landscape. She flew from rooftop to rooftop, trying to burn away the anguish, to replace that choking anguish with large breaths that she felt strangely robbed of whenever she had these dreams. Her stomach was coiled tightly, too; Usagi felt like she couldn’t even eat at times like this, and that truly terrified her, that something could take her away from her beloved food. She willed her body to unwind, but it couldn’t escape the adrenaline that had wound its way like a vise around her heart.

She stopped at one rooftop, noting the light just barely peeking over the horizon. Soon it’d be time to go to school and pretend like she was an ordinary, carefree girl. But until then, this was her moment, her time alone. She started crying, hard and fast; ugly sobs that penetrated the otherwise peaceful atmosphere. She didn’t know and she didn’t understand. She couldn’t take this relentless onslaught on her senses. She was the epitome of effervescence. True, she faced youma, often in the dead of night, but dealing with that was nothing compared to the horrors of her nightmares.

“Sailor Moon?”

She jumped. “Tuxedo Kamen-sama.”

“Are you alright?”

She gulped, trying to get herself under control. “Sorry. Just bad dreams.”

“Oh?” He drew a little closer. “Do you want to talk about them?”

She turned fully towards him. She decided to confide in him; at least he wouldn’t judge her. “A lot of it is just jumbled scenes - destruction, pain, screams. In particular, there’s a sword, gleaming with the blood of the man next to it. I pick it up, every time, my hands shaking. And then I don’t see anything anymore. I just feel…pain.” She drew a tortured breath. “But the pain isn’t from holding the sword, it’s from seeing the man…gone.” She swallowed as something struck her. “I don’t know if you believe in past lives, Tuxedo Kamen-sama-”

“-I do.”

“I fear very much that I loved someone so much, enough to - enough to -” His arms wrapped around her, grounding her with his embrace, as once again she began to cry. “I couldn’t live without him,” she wept. “He would’ve wanted me to, but I-”

“It wouldn’t have been fair to you,” Tuxedo Kamen murmured, “to ask you to live when he didn’t.”

She hiccupped, taking that in. “I feel so guilty,” she breathed. “I don’t even know who he is and if it really matters-”

“Then let me speak for him,” Tuxedo Kamen said softly, cupping her face. “I love you - and there’s nothing to forgive.”

She shuddered under his declaration, reminding herself firmly that he was only pretending. Then she pressed on, “Would you, Tuxedo Kamen, really forgive me if you had saved me, getting killed in the process, and then I, Sailor Moon, turned around, and - and -”

“Yes. I would always choose to save you, and it’s your life to do with as you choose. Not that I want you to choose that, but I won’t judge you for it.”

The tears began again, as she let go of all of the ugly pain and guilt wrapped up in a past she barely understood, all while wrapped in the arms of her hero, whom, while an enigma, nonetheless seemed achingly familiar. “Thank you,” she breathed.

“Better?”

She nodded.

“That’s the beauty of reincarnation,” he said quietly after a moment. “We get to live again, so even if we die, we have a chance of finding each other again.”

“I’m very much grateful to be alive,” she said. “Just look at this sunrise, for example. There’s so much beauty in the world, even with all the darkness.”

“Especially the kind we see nightly.”

A few minutes pass.

“Do you have dreams like mine?”

“I have dreams, but they aren’t as gory. Still, they make me believe in past lives.”

“I hope your past was a good one,” she murmured. “Unlike mine.”

He shrugged. “Maybe the past is overrated.”

She smiled at that, and then she frowned. “I better go,” she said reluctantly. “I have to get ready for school.”

“I do, too. I’ll see you at the next battle.” He gave a salute and leapt away.

Sailor Moon smiled as she headed home. Not even being bowled over by Mamoru-baka was going to spoil her mood today!

The End

gonna be insane abt usamamo for a second im so sorry esp to my moots who do not care about sailor moon my heart goes out to you

read more bc this is so much longer than was intended

i see a lot of the same "theyre only in love because of fate/their superhero alter egos/their past" takes A Lot (to be fair its usually directed at the 90s anime, to which i do agree n understand, however ive also seen it directed at the manga which is why im talking abt it) and i just Do Not Agree, so im gonna talk abt it in a twt thread bc im insane and twt is my outlet for my insanity. (this was originally written for twt but got too long oops.)

starting with the whole "theyre only dating because of past lives" because its the easiest to debunk, its just flat out not true. mamoru n usagi never really got the chance to officially get to together pre-past lives reveal in the manga but its pretty damn clear they were going to, probably the next time they met as civilians and swapped their different keepsakes that they have from each other.

theres also the whole "oh well their feelings are remnants of silmil" which i think takes away a lot of their agency as characters and also just isnt true and is also pretty easily disprovable, usagi likes mamoru for being there for her and supporting her when she needs it, and mamoru likes usagi for being this incredibly strong heroine but also being a normal cheery girl all at the same time.

which leads me to the next point! "they only like each other because of their alter egos", two rebuttals here, they dont exactly stop being tuxedo mask/sailor moon just because theyre out of costume that is still them but i do see why this is a popular criticism. my other thing is that its definitely not true for mamoru, whos usually the one criticized for not truly liking the Real Usagi™️ and only liking her for sailor moon (or serenity but we just went over that and funnily enough this criticism should be directed more to usagi but we'll get into that later).

for this lets go back to why mamoru loves usagi, according to earlier in this post i claimed it was because of the dichotomy between her and sailor moon, the crime fighting warrior, and usagi the happy-go-lucky school girl who always brings a smile to everyones face, thus showing that he loves /all/ of her not just one side over the other.

but me saying so isnt really enough so lets hear it from the boy in question: "its true... for a long time the crystal was the only thing i wanted... but now when i see her... angry one moment then laughing the next... the crystal? no thats not what i really want... usako youre what i want" - (crystal ep 7) so... yeah thats pretty cut and dry, oh yeah nows also a good time to mention that ill be pulling stuff from crystal too because of the nature of crystal having been more closely supervised by naoko and being a stricter manga adaptation, any scenes it adds are retroactively canon to the mangaverse (at least to me, but if youre looking for a similar line from the manga: "youre strong today sailor moon, everyday i feel like im seeing a different side to you, is there other versions of you ive yet to meet? i want to know everything, who are you really?" - (chapter 8) same idea as the crystal quote just a lot more vague lol)

also this is reflected in more than just words, its actions too, tuxedo mask is a lot more closed off towards sailor moon earlier on and its not until chapter 4 that he starts being a lot more openly caring and affectionate, and you wanna know what happens in chapter 4? he finds out sailor moon is usagi, and it doesnt take a lot of media literacy to put two and two together to figure out why that shift happens there.

now for usagi, remember when i said the whole "liking the alter-egos" criticism applies to her more but is never directed at her? well heres why, we never really see her civilian relationship with mamoru develop much on her end before the reveal, she is of course attracted to mamoru but on a way more superficial level (usagis pretty notorious for her immediate, but ultimately kinda surface level crushes on people: see rei).

she denies her crush but its pretty obvious she has one, for example when mako points out that usagis blushing after one of their interactions and asks about it and she insists pretty loudly that she "doesnt like him!" but never really explains the blush (earlier in the same scene when she sees mamoru she blushes and b-dmp! is written in the bg, keep in mind he hasnt done or said anything yet so its not embarrassment) and then theres chapter 3 where she recognizes that his profile sorta looks like tuxedo mask which she'd actively try to deny if she didnt like him like she says she does, so its pretty obvious she has a crush on mamoru.

but her relationship with tuxedo mask is what gets more development, she goes from that superficial crush she has on mamoru to liking him for deeper reasons than just: pretty guy! i.e. helping her, being there for her, and grounding her when she needs it. also in the same vein as her recognizing him in chapter 3 the reveal is her just recognizing him as tuxedo mask, which obviously she has to like mamoru quite a bit to do (even if the evidence was quite literally all around her) (in saying all of this i do think pgsm does a much better job at showing her genuinely falling for all of him but pgsm also skews more towards the 90s anime in terms of characterization so i wont be using that).

and finally "usamamo are only together/feel pressured to be together because of fate/chibiusa" short answer: no. long answer: noooooooooo. no but in all seriousness this flat out isnt true, if you'll remember the first 14 chapters of the manga are kinda. yk. dedicated to this. their fate isnt to "be together" their fate is to literally DIE if they dare attempt to be together again, they are together DESPITE fate, like i dont even know how else to put it because multiple characters comment on fate repeating itself when it comes to dooming usamamo, they werent reincarnated to be together they were reincarnated to be happy and live normal peaceful lives.

as for fate as in the future, thats pretty easily disprovable because its ALSO something the manga goes over, during the dream arc when mamorus suffering from nehelennias curse he starts feeling guilty and selfish for constantly being a burden on usagi to the point he asks her if she really does want a future with him, even saying that he feels horrible for potentially tying her down to a future she might not want, which yk would kinda not be a concern he would have if he was only with her for the creation of crystal tokyo (side note: nowhere does it say usamamo NEED to be together for crystal tokyo to exist, usagi could very well rule alone like queen serenity or with any other partner, its just that the current timeline has them together in ct) as for usagis response, mamoru falls asleep before he can hear it, but she says point blank that she can change the future if she wants. So. Yeah. dont really think i need to say much more than that on that front.

And the last part of the "fate saga", "theyre only together to have chibiusa" which is such a crazy and lowkey highkey misogynistic sentiment, but for arguments sake lets take a look at why its completely wrong, first off, again. "i can change the future as much as i want" - (chapter 40) she could have chibiusa by other means (for example the way queen serenity had serenity) but also, the reason they care so much about chibiusa is because she's a product of their love, they obviouly care about her as a person but they wouldnt just force themselves to be together just to have her and her alone (if that makes sense i have no idea how to phrase what im trying to say) in any case its a really gross thing to say because it insinuates a lot of really weird things!

if you made it through all that you deserve like a medal or something but thanks for listening to my silly little thoughts about my favorite couple right now

Okie I revisited the final episodes of Sailor Moon R. I dunno why the ending was such a blur in my head? It wasn't bad! I think aside from things like Black Lady's entrance lacking in build up and Chibiusa not becoming a Sailor senshi, or Pluto's lack of relevance or the absence of one sweet heart kitten or Death Phantom being way less of the planetary threat he is in the manga- aside from all that- the arc is indeed handled nicely. It was a nice treat when Usagi took on the form of Neo Queen Serenity and I noticed a lot of references to the Promise of the Rose film story boarding wise. Mamoru was waaaayyy more relevant than he is in any of the later arcs -and he damn well should be as future king *cough* and the holder of the Golden Crystal and prince of Elysion *cough* looking at you super S *cough cough*- and had an active role in the fight against the black moon. Also mid and post battle Usamamo was very noice 👌

The ending with Chibiusa reuniting with her family in Crystal Tokyo was really sweet.

Demande was better than I remembered as well. His death scene was basically a canvas flipped version of Mamo in episode 34 but it kinda worked in a parallelism kind of way.

I thought it was dumb at first that Nemesis wasn't the evil sentient planet it was in the manga but they made this work with Demande's loyalty to Nemesis and his pride in the Black Moon clan. I feel like having the Black Moon clan be from Nemisis and seeking refuge after Earth rejected them is an interesting narrative.

Ye so as an arc separate from the Crystal cannon? Its probably the best one from 90s anime. I stand by that now that I've taken the time to revisit it. They had a great rhythm here. I have no clue what the heck happened once they got to season 3 🤷‍♀️

Don't remember a rating I've given to the season in the past but as of now, I'll say its a 7

Unfortuneately I revisited the ail and an arc thingy (I've given up trying to remember the gosh dang tree) aaaaand nope. Still cringe. And forced. And the talking sentient tree And uh Mamo and Usagi being simultaneous damsels in distress while Ail is jealous of Mamo as An crushes on him while being jealous of Usagi as Ail crushes on her- no. Its too much. The arc is literally only there to wait out Usagi and Mamoru getting together as Naoko writes her manga. And it shows.

If not for that the season would get an 8 😂

❝ it’s a beautiful night. ❞

for any of our matching otps <3

For my bestie! I was torn between UsaMamo and KazuFumi, but another friend said to go with the student/teacher, so I did!! I hope you enjoy it, my love!

"It's a beautiful night."

Fumino was standing out on the balcony, a blanket wrapped around her body as she watched the snow drift down from the iron gray sky. In just two days she and Teppei would be leaving Sensei's home to stay with Tomo-kun. It was impossible to believe that the life they had shared with Sensei was being put to a stop this way, but it was, and there was nothing any of them could do to change it.

At the sound of her husband's voice, Fumino turned slightly. Just enough to let him know that she had heard him, but not enough for him to see the tears staining her cheeks. It wasn't as though showing him the pain she was feeling would let them stay together. It would only serve to hurt him as much as she was hurting.

"I wanted to watch the snow from our balcony one last time," she said quietly, pulling the blanket tighter around her. "It won't be the same at Tomo-kun's place."

She heard the sliding glass door shut, and suddenly he was beside her, grabbing at the blanket so he could slide in next to her in the gentle warmth. Once they were cuddled close and she could feel his muscled chest pressed tight against her back, he nuzzled his face into her hair. It was his small way of letting her know that even wrapped up together, he still wanted to be closer.

"You're coming back home to me," he promised, squeezing his arms that were wrapped tight around her waist. "This isn't a goodbye, just a see you later."

"Because... I'm your wife?" The words came out in a broken whisper as the tears began running down her cheeks in earnest.

His lips brushed against her collar bone, neck, chin, cheek, ear and forehead, a promise in each press of his lips to her skin. His tongue darted out to clear the tears from her cheeks and he kissed the corner of her eye. "You are my wife and... I love you."

He said it so rarely, not nearly enough to fill up the empty spaces she was going to have without him. But even so, she clung to the words and buried them deep in her heart. The reminder that it wasn't just her that clung to him, that wanted to come back to this apartment after their forced separation was over, would carry her through the difficult time ahead.

"It really is a beautiful night," she agreed finally, leaning back into his arms. "Should we stay out and enjoy it a little longer?"

He kissed her forehead once more, rubbing his cheek against her skin. "As long as you want, Fumino-san. I'm in no hurry to go anywhere."

The suspenseful bgm continuing to play as people filed into the church is a nice touch, but the fact no one was talking at all and then Hina opened her mouth with a really perky voice was such a weird dissonance for me. I just have to laugh imagining her voice echoing off the walls given the acoustics in the hall, and everyone turning their head and trying to shush her. lol

Nice segue though from MamoHina to the UsaMamo plot:

USAGI, PLE--ASE LMAO

This transition scene is out of this world! Absolutely bonkers! They REALLY decided it's time to insert some Usagi-style humour into this scene to liven things up in this episode and remind the audience Usagi is still Usagi even when she's lovesick!

Usagi was so deep in thought she thought the phone vibration was her heart pounding too loudly in her chest! HAHAHAHA And the melancholic bgm abruptly stopped when she thought "あ! 携帯か!"? The semantics of this phrase suggests her attributing her Teletia S. to the sensation she was thinking about, I cannot with this silly rabbit. The editing and scriptwriting really hit me in my sense of humor lol

So I think this is what is actually rubbing me the wrong way:

I'm a bit worried about Sailor Moon Cosmos rekindling old ship wars and old vitriol. Sailor Moon famously has a ton of canon versions from the 90s anime to Myu and this diversity and variety is beautiful and I am all about celebrating all sides of that. I honestly hadn't been worried about these things coming back before, because I thought we'd grown past it. In general, personally I'm someone who doesn't enjoy seeing hate in fandom spaces - spaces that are about enjoying, loving, and celebrating a shared interest. But now I've seen more posts, reblogs and answers soley about how people hate certain aspects in the few past days since the announcement than I've seen in literal years, which would be absolutely fine if it was just a blip but I guess it's making me worried about what's to come. Which is in part absolutely a me thing because what I love about this fandom corner is, well, not that. And let me be clear - I love nuanced and open discussions about it, including things that people dislike and struggle with about it, these are not the kind of posts and notes I'm talking about. And it also makes SENSE that a lot of usamamo fans especially have grief and beef with 90s Stars since Mamoru was killed, misunderstood in his death by Usagi, and Usagi spent a lot of time with Seiya instead, and want to discuss the nature of this grief and beef and to understand it better with people who think the same - and these are conversations that are most often really great -and even awesome. Discussions that I don't mean here in the least, especially if led in mutually validating ways. But while many people are fantastically capable to have these discussions without devaluing the content itself and those who happen to like it, others aren't - or at least they aren't trying to be, which also sometimes makes sense.

(Don't get me wrong I'm not saying everyone has to love the same thing. But not expressing open hate directly TO people who love a thing is an option. I guess my point is Ship And Let Ship in liking-x-canon form.)

So yeah I guess I'm not iffy at individual people or reactions, I'm worried about my lovely celebratory fandom space for the future, and worried that I might be curating my dash a lot more in the next year. (Which is of course absolutely possible and a good solution for me)

Anyway, I want to suggest an additional solution: How about we establish hashtags that people can follow or block depending on their own preference. #I-hate-sm-stars for those who want to discuss the aspects they hate on their own blogs without having to keep in mind the actual fans of the thing which is something they obviously should be able to, and maybe even an #sm-stars-salt for those who complain in a more nuanced way? This way everyone can complain to their heart's content and others can curate in a way more targeted way if they want to see it or not.
