She’s the ONE….SAILOR MOON!!
This was my MOST difficult piece! Clip Studio kept crashing on me, so this took longer than needed. I’m just glad it came out the way I wanted it to and that I can finally post this!

if you know me, you know that i love sailor moon. i love it more than a normal person, i know almost everything there is to know about it. it has been with me at every stage of my life so far, been a part of who i have become each step of the way. as the final sailor moon movie comes out, covering the stars arc, i’ve been thinking about its overall message. if you know the overall story, it is a space opera, of cyclical war between light and dark, creation and chaos. and in the final arc, a very far future version of sailor moon herself comes back into the past to try and convince her past self to end it all before the cycle gets worse. she idolizes her past self, eternal sailor moon, her powerful yet still teenage self. and young sailor moon still refuses to destroy it all, the whole cycle, because life is worthwhile, even with darkness and sadness. she convinces her future self not to regret her past choices, and inspires her to keep going.
reading that as a teen was impactful, but rereading it now, and viewing it whenever i can see the new movies, i understood, maybe, where naoko takeuchi was coming from. to write a whole series rejoicing in the difficulties, the joys, and the power of being a teenage girl, and to end it with that girl comforting and inspiring her future adult self, being reminded not to regret who she was and what she valued.
there are so many times that i wish i could go back and change certain things i did that would’ve changed my whole life trajectory and saved me from some hardships i feel like now i cannot escape. i want to go back and talk to younger me and guide her and protect her. but when i read sailor moon, i think that maybe she would remind me i was enough. i made the right choices with what i had at the time. i was powerful then and i am powerful now. i was enough then and i am enough now. i didn’t lose her potential, and her talent. she got me where i am today, she is here with me, just like eternal sailor moon is to sailor cosmos. and i think that’s a message a lot of people need sometimes as we grow up and compare ourselves to our younger selves.

I remember YEARS ago I read this post from someone who was upset at the end of the 90s Sailor Moon anime because Usagi forgives/heals Galaxia, and in their words "teaching people to forgive their enemies is dangerous, especially now that Trump has been elected."
Like I totally agree that unconditional forgiveness towards oppressors is dangerous, but like
My brother in Christ, this is a magical girl show. It has the same energy as that one Twitter post where someone was upset at bullies getting redeemed in children's shows and someone just replied with "maybe you should watch shows that aren't aimed at teaching children to make friends" lmaoooo
