#Serena x Darian

[crowleysgirl56]

The year was 1996. Growing up in Australia one of our free to air TV channels (channel 7 specifically) had a kids morning program that would show random cartoons (shout out to anyone who understands when I reference Agro’s Cartoon Connections). One particular morning I woke to a new cartoon. The animation style reminded me of Transformers and its theme song began with a catchy guitar riff.

🎶Fighting evil by moonlight. Winning love by daylight!🎶

Wait. What?! This is certainly something that Ive never seen before. Intrigued I watched with rapt fascination. There was a talking cat and a girl with beautiful long hair who was actually a secret super hero.

Her name was Sailor Moon.

I was 12 years old and completely hooked. I immediately started wearing my hair in pigtails (I was never able to grow my hair long and it was always terribly thin. Oh that hair envy never went away). I fantasied about how I was also a secret moon princess and one day my Tuxedo Mask would find me and whisk me away. I would look for Luna on every corner, but the talking cat never showed up.

I remember crying so hard when Serena and Darian (original English dubbing!) were separated and ached for them to be reunited (gee, funny how those kinds of obsessions never go away. Or just get transferred…). It was only ever season 1 and 2 that aired here and I was lucky that they replayed it at least three times over the years. I remember there was this one tiny shop at my main shopping centre devoted to anime (a rare thing in the 90’s and early 2000’s) where you could buy VHS copies of season 1 and 2. Unfortunately a poor high school student could not afford $36 a tape.

Years later when Sailor Moon Crystal started, the same English dub cast redubbed the entire original series as well. I eventually collected them and watched them all on DVD, and watched all the episodes I never saw (man, Sailor Moon Super S really rambles doesn’t it).

I loved Crystal because I thought the retelling in a more condensed version (without the filler episodes) got us to the point of the arc much quicker. And I like that Usagi and Mamaro didn’t hate each other to begin with.

With the second part of Sailor Moon Cosmos now watched it brings my Sailor Moon journey to an end (well…not quite an end, I never did get around to reading the mangas). But as a 40 year old woman who’s been obsessed with this show since before I was a teenager, I’m always amazed I still love it as much as I do. So whenever anyone ever tells you “this is just a passing fad. You’ll grow out of it” or somehow makes you feel disparaged for loving something so intensely, remember the things you like are for you and you alone and no one can tell you how to go about loving them.

So here’s to my first love. My first obsession. My first hyperfixation. The first couple that I desperately wished could be together, whose love never strayed far from my mind. Thank you for the journey!

two worried dads seeing their pink haired baby girls sleep 🤧

[strawberry-cowmilk]

the brothers dropping their child off at daycare for the first time

-> brothers x mc

a/n: Hey! I'm back at it with the wholesome dad content. Just to be clear, the babies here are the same ones as the ones from my '(character) as a father' series. Also, let's assume the children are around 2 here.

mc's gender is not mentioned, but it is implied they used to be/ are pregnant. I tagged this post with gn!mc, let me know if I need to change it to something else, please! This post was not proofread

content warnings: children, babies, (past) pregnancy, mild angst (insecurity, separation, fear of being a distant parent), mild suggestive content

-----

Lucifer

he did not want to drop his daughter off at daycare at first

because a, he was too proud to do so and b, he'd never admit it, but he'd miss her terribly

however, lucifer has a ton of work, and you can't look after lilith the whole time

one day, lilith came to her dad, asking him to play with her, sadly lucifer rejected the offer because he had to sign paperwork

this happened multiple times, until lucifer decided it wasn't healthy for his daughter to hear 'no, I can't' the entire time, he didn't want her to believe she has a distant father

so, you and him agreed on dropping her off at daycare in the mornings, and picking her up around noon

that way, lucifer can grind out paperwork and play with his child later

lilith didn't like being apart from her family, but she saw playing with her dad later as motivation to get through daycare

the first day his daughter was away from home, lucifer barely got any work done though, he missed his baby

Mammon

your son was very social

he loved playing outside with other kids who lived nearby

and, every time you and mammon took him to town, he'd be talking to everyone

for example, when you're in the dressing room trying on a shirt while mammon and darian are waiting outside, your son would run off to talk to some cashier

thanks to his social nature, you did not expect daycare to be a problem for your child

mammon takes him there for the first time, they walk in the building all happy and smug

but, when the time comes they must part, both father and son are crying while clinging to each other

the daycare worker had to split them up

at home, mammon sulked the whole time until he got to pick his son up, only to find out he had done the same at daycare

'mc, he ain't going to daycare ever again!'

Leviathan

levi was strongly against leaving his son at daycare

but, you thought otherwise

you believed your son needed to socialise a bit more, it would be good for his development

when you told this argument to levi, he folded

he did not want his son to become a social outcast like him

levi wanted to be the one to bring henry to daycare for the first time

the little boy was nervous, but quickly warmed up to the idea of daycare

levi's concerns also melted away once he noticed his son seemed to take this change well, though he still missed his gaming buddy at home

also, levi wanted to give henry a little sibling, if it's a girl, her name will be hana

with the child out of the house, you and him have many chances to try for a second child

Satan

you both agreed your daughter would have to go to daycare at some point

you two had originally planned on starting while she was still a little baby, but that didn't end up happening

satan went to every daycare in the devildom, to pick the best one out for his daughter

he started to lose hope in finding a good place until he came along one with a big backyard

said backyard would often be visited by the cats around the neighborhood

this was the perfect place for his child, satan talked it out with you and you two agreed on letting serena go there

satan was scared serena would be sad or scared to ne somewhere without her parents, but she seemed to be calm in the new environment

when he wanted to pick her up, satan found his daughter in the backyard playing with a cat

Asmodeus

by this time, your first daughter already had a little brother and another sibling on the way (with asmo's libido, you'll be having a whole football team)

at first, you and asmo thought you could take care of your children without any help, but lately it's proven to be harder than initially thought

you two decided to leave your first and second children at daycare

asmo searched all over the devildom to find a fancy enough daycare, which he found but it was expensive, he still paid for it

because he does not want you to overwork yourself, asmo was the one to drop the children off

your daughter seemed excited to make new friends, but your son was another story

the second asmo handed him to the daycare worker, he started crying

asmo's heart broke, he tried to stay with his son but the worker kicked him out

luckily, your son was calmer when his sister was around

Beelzebub

he knew daycare would be good for his daughter, but when it came to it, he refused to hand her off to some worker

cue beel constantly slowly spinning around on his feet, to face away from the worker with lilith in his arms

she seemed to be having the time of her life, though

eventually, the worker got beel to let go of his child, but he stayed ny her side until they had to kick him out

he was not happy about that

fast forward a few years, lilith now has two younger siblings, twins, riliane and allen (still, if yk yk)

and eventually, the twins needed to go to daycare too

lilith remembered how reluctant her father was to leave her there, so she offered to stay by her brother and sister's side, that way she could protect them and beel wouldn't worry

beel has never been more proud of his little family in his life

Belphegor

belphie is very protective over his son, despite the fact that he's the reason he can't sleep some nights

therefore, he was strongly against sending his child to daycare

he didn't trust those workers there enough to keep his precious baby safe

one day, your son asked why all his friends go to daycare but he doesn't

belphie didn't want to make his child feel like he was missing out, and you were team daycare in the first place, so now he's gonna go

when belphie was about to leave him there, his son started to get scared, because he thought that his parent would come in with him

the daycare worker explained to the child it didn't work like that, and he burst out crying

belphie's protective mode kicked in, he lifted his son up and went home together

maybe he'll go some other time

Day 7: The most heartbreaking scene. 

I remember when I was in middle school. I was (and still am) a huge Sailor Moon fan and I used to watch it when I came home from school. The episode where Darien has the dreams that something bad will happen to Serena if he stayed with her and caused him to break up with her, giving her no reason had me in tears. I felt like he was breaking up with me lol. Looking back, I still get teary eyed when he does it and every time Serena begs and pleads for him to talk to her and to tell her why and to get back with her and he says no it just made it even worse. Getting teary eyed just thinking about it lol
