A x Z Week 2024 Day 6: Blue

@senshixshitennouweeks

The color of her eyes. Of melodies that slowed the heart. Of the unattainable rose.

The color that Zoisite had come to associate with her.

Princess Mercury.

With assured fingers, he tapped and pushed the keys, drawing out the golden sound of the piano in front of him, imagining the feeling of that dove like creature floating through endless cool water.

It's a song.

Like Rhapsody in Blue.

A song for her.

Music is the easiest thing in the world for him to communicate with, so he wants to make something that shows everyone just how he feels.

Little naiad. Curious mermaid. A sharp and radiant mind and a sweet little heart.

And the color blue.

The imagery curls and flows in his mind.

Gently. Gently.

It's a bluesy melody, but he's slowed it to a waltz. Added little shimmers of sound.

Blue.

Zoisite will work late into the night to finish it, maybe even until the sun rises the next day, when the sky turns from dark indigo to blue again.

But Ami will hear it.

A song for her.

He might call it "Blue on the Piano."

Reblogging to be a pal

My Response To “Why I love the Toxic Romance of Sailor Moon”

I came across this video online: 

My short response: I disagree. 

My long response: Buckle UP

     It should be noted the video isn’t presenting the argument for just the 90s aspect of the Usagi x Mamoru relationship but is lumping Crystal and the Manga into the argument and insisting it's a toxic romance. The creator of this video breaks down their argument into pointing out three different aspects of the Usagi X Mamoru relationship: 

The age gap and the power dynamic is causes

The lack of choice in the relationship 

How Seiya offers Usagi choice

     Let’s tackle all three of the points and see where the argument breaks down. First off the age gap…sigh…

The Age Gap

     At this point I’m sick of even going into this aspect of the argument. Frankly over the years it comes off as far too personal for many individuals and they can’t separate these feelings when they enter into fiction. If you can’t get over the aspect Usagi is dating an older (4-5 years) man and are uncomfortable with the power dynamic this presents in a relationship then this isn’t the show for you. 

     Still, can people stop acting like it's a huge age gap? This isn’t like the age gap that comes like Bunny Drop (that series really took a turn later in the manga) so can we all stop acting like Mamoru is riding around in a van offering Usagi candy? Moving on…

The Lack of Choice in the Relationship

     The video argues even if you look past the reincarnation element of the Mamoru x Usagi relationship, the introduction of Crystal Tokyo and them becoming King and Queen causes the relationship to become toxic. With this expectation to reach this status, the two are pressured to stay together whether they are ideal for each other or not. This lack of choice is described by the video as being toxic. 

     While the aspects of destiny are prevalent in Sailor Moon, it is important to distinguish the difference between fate and destiny. Fate are the events that will happen when someone doesn't take responsibility. Destiny is what can be achieved through growth and one's own actions. Usagi and Mamoru are shown to be willing to fight for their goals and each other. Usagi wants to be a bride. She wants to be Mamoru’s bride. Mamoru wants to have a family with Usagi so he never feels alone like he did when he was a kid (the movie Sailor Moon R: Promise of the Rose shows this in detail). They support and nurture each other and fight against the forces of evil in the process. 

     It should be noted despite knowing their destiny they still have moments where they need a reminder they need to keep fighting. Usagi has to be reminded at the end of Sailor Moon R to continue the fight. She is reminded of her need to step up by talking with Naru who has no idea she is Sailor Moon.  

      This doesn't just apply to Usagi. Mamoru, upon seeing Usagi with Haruka, feels jealous and is shown to be depressed by it. Only by working together on a project not related to fighting evil but something as simple as helping Chibi Usa with an assignment are they able to reconnect. 

     Also the future they are shown isn't terrible or apocalyptic. The two are shown to be happy, have achieved peace, and are still in love. Why wouldn't they work to achieve it?

The Illusion of Choice With Seiya

     A recent argument I see a lot of Seiya x Usagi fans using is “Seiya offers Usagi choice. Something Mamoru never did.” While it can be argued Seiya is offering Usagi a choice, it is not necessarily a good choice. Look at the hard facts of Seiya’s mission: they are dedicated to Princess Kakyuu and planned on leaving the planet as soon as they found her. Under these aspects, the choices Seiya is offering are not in Usagi’s favor. At best, Seiya is offering Usagi to leave the planet so they can be together, meaning Usagi would have to give up all her friends and family just so she could be together with Seiya. At worst, Seiya is asking Usagi to engage in a long distant relationship to be together. Considering how critical Seiya was about Usagi engaging in a long distance relationship with someone who was supposed to be on the same planet, the idea of even suggesting such a thing to Usagi makes Seiya a hypocrite. 

In conclusion:

Here are a few examples of ACTUAL toxic relationships in anime: 

Gundam Seed: When Fllay uses sex to keep Kira focused on fighting the enemy forces to exact her revenge. 

Death Note: Light Yagami intentionally manipulates Misa’s feelings to use her as a tool to exact his plan for bringing his version of justice to the world. 

Revolutionary Girl Utena: Akio romancing and bedding Utena for his own purposes while at the same time sexually abusing his sister Anthy.  

Fruits Basket: Shigure slept with Ren (Akito's mother) as revenge for Akito sleeping with Kureno.

These are Toxic relationships where people are legitimately being hurt by being a part of it. Though the future Usagi and Mamoru witness is imposing, their interactions are actually supportive in nature. In summary, I don't agree with this video and continue to express that Usagi and Mamoru have a relationship others can and should ascribe to obtain.

Autistic Anime Girls Group 1 Match 3

SUBMISSION PROPAGANDA:

Ami -

"My sweet girl. She’s so autism."

Maria -

"She’s a kid who’s literally described as “acting younger than her age” which pisses off her mother. She’s silly and vocal stims all the time. Doesn’t quite know how to make friends and socialise. When she does socialise she can’t help but talk about her special interest which is the occult, during which she suddenly appears to be extremely intelligent. This freaks people out sometimes. It’s all just so typical for a young autistic girl to do. She deserves the world."

Staying in the theme of the same gift for my cousin - here is a hand painted wooden box i made for her. It is quite simple and Sailor Moon themed, with Luna's portrait inside.

It brings me so much joy when I get to make things inspired by my beloved childhood franchises and it brings even more if I can share my work with others!

V x K Week 2024 Day 5: Forbidden

@senshixshitennouweeks

They can't

They shouldn't.

They should be exemplars for their fellow guardians. They should be making sure that their charges are making the responsible decisions and not galivanting off with one another.

Like they were now.

Kunzite groaned and gripped the fabric of her dress, just above her waist as Venus continued to kiss and nip at his pulse.

To have this composed man coming apart from her touch was too much of a temptation for Venus, no matter how much she wished it wasn't.

The word 'forbidden' rang in her head like bells.

Forbidden. Forbidden. Forbidden.

This would be the last time, she promised herself.

She broke that promise.
