#Naru/Nephrite

a year and a day

since I last updated my fic. not abandoned! but I am a slow writer, and life happens. in the meantime, I don't think I ever shared this amazing fanart on tumblr:

A commish by Supreme Moon Senshi on insta! If you've seen gorgeous aqua colored fanart of Sailor Earth that looks like it could be official 90s art, than you've seen his work. :)

Late submission for day 4 of @smquickies2023 , prompt "Three's+ Company". (Although this preview image is rated Mature (M), the full image is explicit! The expanded (explicit NSFW) version can be viewed on Bluesky or Twitter). Set long after the 1992 anime series in the Crystal Tokyo era, the revived Nephrite (age 25) has joined in a polyamorous relationship with Osaka Naru (age 20) and her other boyfriend Umino Gurio (age 20). However, in this timeline, Naru is a transgender girl (AMAB). Nephrite and Umino are both very supportive of her, though <3 This bed scene takes place after my earlier NSFW comic, 512TR(ans)! Alternate version:

Probably Naru/Nephrite from Sailor Moon. Even though at age six I really only had access to one or two episodes with them because of what tapes my cousin had made, the masquerade ball episode really left an impact on me and made little Psi decide, “I am going to look further into these two someday.” (And now that I’m watching the whole show with my best pal, we’ve gotten to see their whole arc and I ADORE them.)

The part where he says, “What’s the matter? Do I make you uncomfortable? Come on. Look at me… That’s it,” and then laughs evilly and possesses her? Neuron activation

Hey hey proshippers!

For a while I’ve been trying to figure out what my first darkship/comship really was..and I think I finally nailed it down, but I want to hear from y’all as well!

What was your first problematic/taboo ship?

I love hearing about everyone’s experiences in this community. :D

Example: Mine was Hawkfrost x Brambleclaw from warrior cats, I was like 10 at the time but their dual corruption arc surrounded by the incesty subtext went crazy.

Nah bro…. I ain’t mad at Disney, this was a freaking team effort that messed up my perception of romance lol jk🥲

They each hold a place in my heart

i don't like to be one of those annoying manga supremacists but sailor moon is one franchise i have to beg people to read the manga to understand takeuchi's original intentions. to this day people spread misinformation about the franchise because of things the 90s anime did. no, usagi and mamoru are not a pedophilic couple, they were only 2 years apart in the manga and their relationship is MUCH healthier. no, sailor moon doesn't have multiple grooming plotlines, the naru and nephrite shit was exclusively in the 90s anime, and the amazon trio are much less creepy in the manga.

i won't deny the 90s anime played a part in making sailor moon as iconic as it is today but it being perceived as the default adaptation of the franchise did so much damage to the way people perceive certain characters and story elements. i won't deny the manga had problematic stuff but as a huge sailor moon fan it pains me to see people denounce the entire franchise as problematic for something only one adaptation did.

A Gift by Starlight - Ch 13

I forgot to post a notification when I posted the last chapter! Whoops!

Chapter 13: Through a Looking-glass, Darkly

Naru and Nephrite - plus a few Sailor Senshi - are all busy with their own lives and wants and fears, as the canon narrative of Sailor Moon starts to spin out a different story.

Then a green shooting star falls to Earth... and a certain California girl is brought to Tokyo, Japan.

"I won't let you hurt him!"

Late submission for Day 6 of @smvillainsweek 2023, Theme: Weapon / Shield. Based on a scene from chapter 6 of "A Gift by Starlight" by Mina Martin, a story tagged "Naru the Vampire Slayer" 🩸✨ The story absolutely lives up to that premise and is cool as hell. This gritty hospital fight scene captured my imagination and I wanted to see it from the moment I read it. If you aren't familiar with Buffy the Vampire Slayer (I'm not very), the story still mostly makes sense and fills you in on what you need to know- I absolutely recommend it to any Neph/Naru fans!! One of the very best.

If anyone tries to give me shit for shipping Nephrite/Naru, let me remind you all that Nephrite is canonically 19 years old and was originally going to be paired off with Makoto in the manga.

These are the ships I’ve introduced so far in my AU, which I’m still working on chapter 8 as we speak — I’m incorporating a ship that I don’t think has been invented yet 👀

Anyway you can read chapters 1-7 of my fic on AO3!

Nephrite's Death

From the 90s anime. This is the one of the saddest scenes in the first season minus the final battle against Queen Beryl.

This location is the closest I could find to where Nephrite died. Notice how this area also has a cliff. Wish I would have taken some more pictures of this area. Future trip goals.

These are all of the pictures that I have for Sailor Moon locations in this park. This park is absolutely gorgeous. If you would like me to post more pictures from this park in the future let me know! The cover photo for this blog is from this park.

Next up is Mamiana Park featured in the Eternal Movie.
