I need to write the rogue’s gallery since I added them here, I just need to gather the icons and readjust my headspace towards them.
Tumblr media
Especially since this one was a particular favorite.

update on saphir
His default age is now  24 and I will be giving him the canon I have with @fatedtragedie where Saphir has overcome and grown in his emotional and mental state. He is also in a relationship with their Usagi. 
At first I wanted him to be 18 for any new muses he wrote with, aside from those blogs who have written with him over the last six years, but now I decided to make my main canon the canon where he is with Usagi. 
This means that Usagi actively chose him to be with her. Will Chibiusa be born? Absolutely, because Chibiusa is a fixed character and point in time regardless of timelines. How does she come back? Who knows. Regardless Saphir is 24, 1st year undergrad at Tokyo University, and has cut off all contact with his family besides Esmeraude. 
He runs a flower shop and Vene and Aqua own a cat cafe, that they used to put money away until Saphir was found again. 
He can still be written post series, four years after stars, where he is brought back at 18, but his default is he is 24, with Usagi and canon need not apply to him.

Hanahaki AU || Drabble
About: By this century, Hanahaki Disease was something only read in books. Only two medical records existed from the 20th century, but even then, some doctors had believed it to be false. Coughing up flowers due to a love so intense yet unrequited? It sounded like folklore. No one could really love someone to the extent of growing flowers in their lungs, but somehow Esmeraude had.
Esmeraude did everything in extremes. It wasn't her fault. Being born so beautiful and able to pull off such voluminous green hair required her to make statements in all of her actions. When she had joined the Black Moon Clan (BMC), she had whole-heartedly believed in their cause: Neo-Queen Serenity was brainwashing her citizens into obedience to make herself ruler of the entire planet Earth but was masking it as a 'cleanse.'  Esmeraude would not allow that to happen, and she joined the BMC.
Some people who joined at the same time as her underestimated her. With her cute outfits, tall boots, and makeup on point, they doubted her ability to contribute. They were wrong. She was loyal and ruthless. Nothing would stand between her and her goal, and her efforts did not go unnoticed.  She moved her way up through the ranks. Eventually, she was made a general in the BMC.
Before and after becoming a general, she had always been a professional. Now, even more so, to ensure she would be treated as an equal alongside Rubeus, to make certain her strategies and contributions would warrant the same respect as even Saphir. But she was doomed the moment she saw him.
Of course she knew of their leader. Everyone knew of him. He was the one who had started this revolution, which she still so passionately supported. But she had never seen him before. Now, her cause had a face. An overwhelmingly handsome face at that. The way he walked, the way he spoke, all of it was graceful. He was a prince in every way possible. At that moment, she knew. Her chest had suddenly felt itchy, and she knew.
When her chest had felt itchy at that first meeting with Demando, she honestly thought it was because of a crush. She had crushes on people when she was younger. She recalled how her heart would squeeze a little tighter when she saw them. She remembered how much she would smile around them and feel so flustered. She thought that the itch was just an adult version of a crush. She didn't think she was sick.
A week passed before she realized this was something different. She was applying eyeliner when she suddenly felt the need to cough. Something was lodged in her throat. She tried clearing her throat, but it only irritated whatever it was more. Then the coughing had started. It was so painful that tears brimmed at her eyes. She coughed into her hand until she felt something soft land in her hand. Jasmine petals.
She blinked slowly in a state of confusion and shock. It didn't make sense. She didn't make a habit of eating jasmine flowers. Deciding to ask Saphir about it later, she washed the small droplets of blood on the petals before finishing her makeup.
A month later, she finally had the chance to ask Saphir about it. Esmeraude had bought a fan to hide behind whenever she felt the urge to cough. No one had questioned her latest accessory, especially since it had no effect on the amazing success rate of her last few missions. The last month had been spent recruiting soldiers and gathering all sorts of weapons, tools, and other resources in order to take on Crystal Tokyo. They needed as many people as possible before Serenity had a chance to brainwash everyone. Saphir had even created some amazing technology to reverse the cleansing process.  They were making real progress.
So today the higher-ups were relaxing and celebrating for a few hours. Since she got along with Saphir more, she had ventured into his lab to talk with him.
"Saphir?" she tried to ask nonchantly as she walked in.
"Hmm?" he mused loud enough for her to find him as he fiddled with some new device he was working on.
She leaned against a table nearby but was quiet for several moments as she tried to find the right words to ask her question. It needed to be asked in a way that would require no proof. More of a hypothetical situation. Not something to be analyzed and tested.
Saphir looked up in her direction. "Did you need something?" There was a hint of concern in his voice. Esmeraude rarely walked into his lab so demure. Usually she would brag about her latest success or ask him to make cuter weapons to match her style. Her silence worried him.
"Is it possible to cough up flowers?" she asked casually before clearing her throat.
"Is this your way of asking me to create a bioweapon that would cause people to cough up flowers?" he rolled his eyes before tinkering on the metal thing on his table.
"I was just wondering if it was even possible. Has there been a bioweapon like that before?"
He stopped and raised an eyebrow at Esmeraude. She didn't ask about hypotheticals. She only cared about getting satisfying results.
"Doubtful. You can't grow flowers inside of your body. Science doesn't work like that."
"I see," she spoke a bit disappointed with her findings, but she didn't want to push the subject and risk being found out.
Fine. He would humor her. "There used to be legends that if someone loved someone else so much, but it was unrequited, they would grow that person's favorite flower in their lungs."
Her eyes widened with interest, so he continued. "The only way of getting rid of those flowers would be to make that person fall in love with them or to have surgery. With surgery, the feelings would completely disappear. Some stories said, so would the memories."
"What if you didn't get the surgery?" she asked, but something in her voice hinted that she already knew the answer.
"You die," he said simply.
"I see," she mused as if it was the most interesting thing on the planet. "Could you really make a bioweapon like that?"
He smirked. "You know I can."
The bioweapon never happened. Somehow Neo-Queen Serenity had found out about the BMC's intentions of attacking Crystal Tokyo, and she had banished them to Nemesis, a planet with no light and no warmth.
That may have been a major setback, but their cause was still strong. Demando had gained power due to Wiseman and the Black Crystal. He officially named himself Prince Demando. Everyone still supported him and his cause. This unfair banishment to a planet with literally nothing had proved how cruel Neo-Queen Serenity was and how she would do anything to make sure the whole planet was 'cleansed.'
From Nemesis, they attacked Crystal Tokyo. And it fell. With the powers of the Black Crystal, taking Crystal Tokyo was nothing. Neo-Queen Serenity's daughter, Chibiusa, had taken the Silver Crystal, so it seemed like a certain win. Nothing was ever that easy for them. Using her own power, the queen surrounded the Sailor Senshi, King Endymion, and herself in crystal. Nothing could touch them. And Chibiusa had escaped into the past with the Silver Crystal.
Esmeraude would have been fine with leaving things as they were. The BMC had lost many brave soldiers as well during their attack, but she had witnessed Demando's change of heart. She had witnessed the moment he had fallen in love with Neo-Queen Serenity, when their eyes had met. And in that moment, she felt the jasmine roots wrap tighter around her lungs.
Wiseman warned them that with Chibiusa in the past, she would try to save her parents, so they needed to get the Silver Crystal to ensure that didn't happen.  Prince Demando had agreed with Wiseman, but he wanted Serenity for himself. He announced it. Esmeraude couldn't let that happen.
Soon they discovered that Sailor Moon and Neo-Queen Serenity were one and the same. Prince Demando focused all of their missions into the retrieval of both the Silver Crystal and Sailor Moon. Esmeraude heavily monitored all missions that might lead to Sailor Moon's capture. She would manipulate strategies just enough to show that missions had failed because of incompetence. But they started sending higher ranked officers. She couldn't manipulate them, so she watched and silently celebrated each loss the Ayakashi Sisters and Rubeus suffered. But they were getting closer to a success each time, so she took matters into her own hands. She volunteered herself.
Achiral and Chiral both had begged her not to. They were well aware of her disease. She was deathly pale but hid it well behind her makeup. It was harder to hide the coughing fits and petals soaked in blood, though. That's how they found out. Her fan could only cover her so much.
She dismissed their concerns, waving them off despite how weak she felt. This did not stop her from coming up with a brilliant plan, though. She knew that Sailor Moon was in Crystal Tokyo, searching for a way to save Chibiusa's parents. The trap would be too easy. Chiral and Achiral would lure them to an area, and with her Beast Hands, she would strangle the life out of Sailor Moon. It would be beautiful.
Her plan had been flawless. She could feel Sailor Moon struggling to breathe within her hands. So close. But she was so weak that she hadn't noticed King Endymion's 'La Smoking Bomber' attack. Such a lame attack, but it was enough. The smoke caused to her to cough so much, she let go of Sailor Moon and fell on the ground hardly able to breathe.
She watched as they escaped, heading towards the castle. More petals were coughed up, but she couldn’t bring herself to try and hide them, so she closed her eyes instead. If she couldn’t see them, then they didn’t exist. That didn’t stop her coughing though. 
I really did love you, Demando-sama.
The history books will say that Sailor Moon always wins because of her love for everyone and everything. They'll dismiss Esmeraude's affection for Prince Demando as an obsession. They omit how hard she fought for what she believed in. They'll mistaken her coughing fits for obnoxious laughter.  They'll ignore all of the obvious attempts of of sabotage on any intentions of capturing Sailor Moon.  They'll say Esmeraude died because King Endymion bravely attacked her with 'La Smoking Bomber.' They won't mention the jasmine flowers found all around her dead body. They'll rewrite everything to glorify the winners. And they'll forget all about Esmeraude's true character, her passion in everything, and her ability to love so intensely.

Send ✿ for a happy memory.
“Hmm…I got a story or two, I guess. Believe it or not, even on Nemesis, that’s possible haha,” the Nemesimian mused, “it was my 13th birthday–Granite was still alive, he wasn’t around though. Was busy with assignments elsewhere, but that’s another story for some other time. 
Anyways, I had a job–since about 8-years-old I always had some kinda work–and that day was clean-old-man-Topaz’s-house day. Was never fun since was such a neat freak, but he paid enough. I get over there, and not even 10 minutes into getting things prepped, he gets a knock on the door. 
There were a pair of the Prince’s guards. The old man called me over from the kitchen and tells me that they’re for me. I come over and the guards part and there’s Demando and Saphir and Esmeraude and Sphene and Dolly. Apparently, the old man set this all up a while ago. It literally took me a minute before I realized that one of the guards was carrying a box. And we all went to the kitchen table to have him open it. 
Literally the biggest chocolate cake I’ve ever seen on Nemesis,” he forms his hands into a smaller end of a medium sized circle, “chocolate icing and everything. Chocolate was so expensive it’d take me more than two months of work to afford such a cake. And my cursed young soul fucking loved chocolate. 
So I gotta paid day off–with an added bonus, some good friends, and the best cake ever. Definitely one of my best Birthdays.”

Let’s Rate Demando!
Tumblr media
Personality:  ★ ★ ★ Demando’s a weird one in that he does not express his personality as much through dialogue as behavior. He actually says very little that isn’t related to his mission or his obsession with Sailor Moon. His scenes with his allies -- even Saphir! -- are flat and impersonal, more often than not. What I get from his behavior though is that he’s arrogant and myopic, obsessed not only with himself and his mission but with a very narrow band of those interests that allows him to completely sabotage them without noticing (sitting back, smug and oblivious, while Wiseman sacrifices his allies and plots behind his back. Alienating Usagi immediately when literally all he would’ve had to do to gain her support and warmth was have an earnest conversation with her about his goals). He’s also obsessed with the idea that he must use POWER rather than persuasion to get the things he wants. It’s not executed well, but it all comes together into a reasonably coherent picture of a person. Three stars.
Style: ★ ★  I almost like Demando’s look, but it doesn’t quite work for me. He is supposed to have a Glamorous Rich Guy thing going on, so he’s got long hair, a fancy coat, spooky earrings, a throne he kicks back in swishing wine. Okay, sure. But it’s all just a liiiittle bit off. His hair looks like he’s halfway through growing it out to some target length, like it’s stuck in an unflattering in between stage. His coat jacket and his sleeves fall to exactly the same length, creating this awkward line bisecting his all-white suit that makes his arms look stubby. The wine thing gets overused to the point where it’s more of a lazy filler motif than something dramatic and character-establishing. And he needs gloves. I don’t know why, he just does. Every time I see his stupid wiggly hands in that death scene I’m like “why don’t you have gloves? This look needs gloves.” I do like the whole gang’s spooky earrings, though. Go go team spooky earrings!
Backstory: ★ ★ ★ Demando has some backstory notes in common with Saphir -- also, the flashback we do get is about Demando more than it is about Saphir. How his dream got distorted (It kinda started out a little distorted.) I definitely... have some questions, though. Like who was Demando pre-brainwashing? Was he a distinctly better person or did he just smile at his brother occasionally back then rather than musing aloud about how okay he is with sacrificing him to the cause? He still thought it was a good idea to CONQUER THE EARTH to get a flower garden, so that’s a sign that some of the problems with his mindset came pre-installed. I also really want to know how many people are living on Nemesis and like, do they have kind of an ‘evil culture’ of backstabbing and untrustworthiness or whatever. What happened to them after the story? Did they get peacefully welcomed back to present or future earth or just forgotten? We’ll never know! Maybe the Ayakashi Sisters helped sort it out offscreen.
Hero Relationships: ★ ★ ★ I poked fun at it, but I actually kind of liked Usagi almost effortlessly talking Demando out of his opposition to the people of earth. Cheap? Maybe. Poor writing? Oh, yeah. But after having to watch him sit there imperiously in his throne, blowing off Saphir’s warnings and protests and soaking up Wiseman’s halfassed excuses for an entire arc, MAN IT WAS SATISFYING to have Usagi point out the obvious and have Demando go “oh shit, you’re right! I’ve been wrong about literally everything!” It’s also really satisfying to have that happen after watching him so obsessed with Usagi’s outward appearance that he’s been trying to stifle her mind and will in order to 'own’ her -- the moment she overcomes his power to do that, she delivers a truth bomb that turns his world upside down and probably could have saved him from himself if he hadn’t put so much effort into keeping her from speaking or being a person around him. Sort of a whiff of justice to that.
Villain Relationships: ★ ★ I really did enjoy how broken up he was about Saphir, and that there were shades of his reaction that were what I’d wanted to see from Kunzite after Zoi. But beyond some dramatic facial expressions in two of his episodes, a creepy face petting in that one scene, and that wonderful little ‘truce’ moment after Saphir died, I really would not otherwise know that Demando is Saphir’s brother. I think that’s sort of the point -- that he’s grown so distant it’s ambiguous if he WOULD care if Saphir died. But also yuck, there is nothing there to watch or care about. Ditto his indifference to Esmeraude’s devotion. Having a person not react to stuff is not interesting, even if you’re doing it to make a point.
Likeable/Love to Hate: ★ ★ ★ ★  I had a lot of fun putting words into Demando’s mouth in his final episodes -- he’s a very frustrating character, and so I’m going to give him points under Love to Hate. He is so close to being an archetype I would enjoy, but then fails in just about every way possible. I liked him a lot more when I was younger and could fill in the blanks with character traits that rounded him out and made him more interesting or sympathetic. 
Resolution: ★ ★ ★  I do really like that his resolution was a callback to the Issues he had prior to his final episode. Conceptually, I enjoyed what they were doing with him sort of needing to shut up, switch off his magic eye, and just listen to Usagi for a second, and that doing this CHANGED EVERYTHING for him. I liked that he explicitly sacrificed himself for Usagi, and that he actually fought against Wiseman in the end instead of getting taken in by yet more nonsense and then either blasted to oblivion or set up to fail in a fight against Usagi, In many ways, though, Demando’s death was a mess. The turnaround with Usagi is rushed and comedically easy, and the fight and death scene are awkwardly animated to the point of giving me mild secondhand embarrassment to watch them. Four stars for what the scene wanted to be, but three stars for what it actually was.
Overall: ★ ★ Uh... I don’t know, I’m really sort of bummed out about not really liking the Black Moon Clan folks at all until their death episodes. I think that means that most of what I liked back in the day came from projecting my own ideas onto the characters, or getting ideas from the dub’s artistic liberties.

The Malefic Crystal Reactor took Usagi’s breath away. It felt as though a great pressure was compressing her chest; the great amount of negative energy was attempting to force her away. It radiated with Death Phantom’s aura, telling Usagi that he must have integrated himself with it, as well. How much of Nemesis was under his control, she wondered? First the people, Sailor Nemesis, the Malefic Crystal itself... Nemesis deserved none of this suffering.
“Below here, is the Chamber of Darkness.” Esmeraude gestured to a staircase, that spiraled down to a lower level. “Rubeus was instructed to take the Senshi within. Wiseman spent much of his time there, so be wary. I dare not go down myself, lest I draw his ire. But you, he is unaware of, for now now. He won’t have suspected that Saphir rescued you.” Word travels fast, Usagi muses.
“Thank you, Esmeraude. I’ll make sure everyone is safe, by the end of this, I promise!” Esmeraude seems to laugh, a little. “So this is the charm of Sailor Moon, is it? You’re cute.” With her confidence renewed, Usagi darted over to the stairs, going down into the Chamber.

She’s a queen and she knows it, without any regards to shame or dissonance towards others.
Sits on a throne, fanning herself haughtily~
