Sailor Moon Trivia #2

Most Sailor Moon villains are named after minerals. The reason might be that the manga creator Naoko Takeuchi studied chemistry in university. She also was part of the astronomy club, which explains her knowledge about planets and space.

Here are the name origins for most villains:

Dark Kingdom: Beryl, jadeite, nephrite, zoisite and kunzite are all minerals. Metalia probably derives from "metal". The term "Shitennou" means "four heavenly kings" and is also used for a group of Buddhist gods.

Ail and An: It's a pun. Their combined namens sound a bit like "alien".

Black Moon Clan: The Ayakashi Sisters are named after minerals: kermesite (Koan), berthierite (Berthier), calaverite (Calaveras) and petzite (Petz). Ayakashi refers to a type of supernatural monster/phantom or can mean "suspicious". Rubeus refers to ruby (his name means "red" in Latin, and the word "ruby" derives from that), Esmeraude is an obsolete French word for emerald, Saphir could be the French/German word for sapphire, and Demande probably refers to a diamond. It may also be a pun with the English word "demand". Chiral is a term from chemistry, describing an object that cannot be superimposed on its mirror image. Achiral is the opposite.

Death Busters: Who would've thought, the Witches 5 and Kaolinite are also named after minerals: kaolinite, eudialyte (Eudial), mimetite (Mimete), tellurite (Tellu), viluite (Viluy), cyprine and ptilolite (Ptilol).

Dead Moon Circus: The Amazon Trio are not only named after the animals they represent, their names also refer to minerals. There's also an "amazonite". The Amazoness Quartet are named after celestial bodies (Pallas, Juno & Vesta are asteroids, Ceres is a dwarf planet). These are named after Greek goddesses. Zirconia is named after a mineral (zircon). Nehellenia might be named after the Frisian-Roman goddess Nehalennia. Xenotime and Zeolite are minerals.

Shadow Galactica: The Sailor Animanates are each named after a type of metal and an animal: Iron Mouse, Aluminum Seiren (sirenia is another term for sea cows, but it might also refer to sirens from Greek mythology), Lead Crow, Tin Nyanko (nyanko means something like "kitty cat"), Heavy Metal Papillon (papillon is French for butterfly). Lethe and Mnemosyne refer to rivers in the Greek underworld, representing oblivion and memories. Phi and Chi are letters of the Greek alphabet. In the musicals they're also joined by Theta.

R Movie: Fiore is Italian for flower. Xenian might refer to the biological term Xenia, which is the effect of pollen on seeds and fruit of the fertilized plant.

S Movie: Princess Kaguya is a character from a famous Japanese tale about a princess who came from the moon.

SuperS Movie: The villains have French names associated with sweets. Badiane means star anise, banane is a banana obviously, orangeât is candied orange peel and poupelin is a kind of pastry. Perle means pearl (he's not a villain but was originally part of the group too.)

Headcanon Mondays:  Grand Guignol Orchestra headcanon of the Day #25

The orchestra don’t date, and haven’t really tried to carve out love lives; their lifestyle doesn’t lend itself to getting close to people or staying too long in one place. Perhaps they were afraid of infecting others, and perhaps they just had too many secrets to hide? 

Lucille is happy to flirt casually with whoever will take an interest but rarely wanted anything more than that, though he’d often have to make excuses with men and women alike who were enraptured by his beauty. In all honesty, whilst he enjoys attention, he tires of the lengths people go to in order to  seek out the pleasures of the flesh; he’s the first person to bemoan why nobody takes no for an answer, any more.  Gwindel is usually polite but doesn’t make any effort with anyone who tries to engage him romantically,  feeling a sense of guilt over his lost family, and feeling that he has no right to seek happiness by drawing others into his existence. Kohaku is really bad at reading cues, gets flustered easily and often ends up putting his foot in his mouth, whether he intended to flirt or not. He’ll tell you he wasn’t interested, anyway dumbass, but deep down inside, it’s probably the case that genuinely opening up is a little bit terrifying for him.  Berthie had probably been the most successful out of all of them, because he combined good looks with an ability to get what he wanted out of people. But his tastes were sometimes… unorthodox to say the least.

⭐ Crystals for zodiacs master list ⭐

I recently got this book called “Love is in the earth A kaleidoscope of crystals” and it’s amazing with detail! HOWEVER, to make it easier on myself I wanted to place all the crystals that are associated with the zodiacs in one spot instead of all over. Also to help me with Planetary magic and working with the planet rulers of each zodiac! I would however suggest you buying the book as well if you wish to know more info about these crystals and so forth! For this is only a scratch of the surface.

Astrological Birthstones: Minerals, Metals, Shells, and Related Materials

Introduction

Correspondences and rulerships are important to consider for anyone interested in astrology, stones, and/or practices such as witchcraft. Everything has astrological associations, meaning that everything is influenced by the heavens or at least shares energy with corresponding signs, heavenly bodies, elements, and sometimes even houses.

This list is divided into four categories, and everything is alphabetized within those sections:

I. General Stones: These are overarching rulerships which may influence one’s use of gemstones.

II. General Colors: These are the rulerships of colors, which may be applied to the use of colored stones, metals, etc.

III. Metals: This assists in determining what metals one may use in jewelry with selected minerals or shells, or other matters, as this is a list of metals in an elementary sense, though the list does not include all metal elements. These rulerships can also be applied when it comes to aura quartz.

IV. Shells and Others: Types of shells and similar materials typically lumped in with gemstones.

V. Minerals and Others: All gemstones listed alphabetically, along with a few other objects (bones, for one).

A few quick notes:

Types of minerals may have a correspondence different from specific subsets. A good example is Beryl. Beryl is associated with Gemini, while Aquamarine is associated with both Gemini and Pisces. The subsets still relate to the core type, but they have their own unique traits as well.

Also, for ease, if you’re interested in a specific sign, house, element, or heavenly body, I would very much suggest using the search page function, because this list is so long.

Some minerals and other substances are said to be aligned with the energy of all Zodiac signs, heavenly bodies, etc., and they are marked to reflect that.

[CHARACTER] Berthier.

Series: Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon

Kana: ベルチェ Romaji: Beruche

Role: Villain Type: Humanoid (formerly), human (currently) Alignment/Organization: Black Moon Clan (formerly) First appearance: Episode 60 Last appearance: Episode 86 Status: Alive Voice actor: Yuri Amano

TRIVIA

Berthier’s name is derived from the mineral berthierite.

She was the second youngest of the Ayakashi Sisters.

Much like her rival Sailor Mercury, Berthier’s element was water.

In the manga, Sailor Moon killed Berthier. Yet in the first anime adaptation, Berthier survived and she was eventually purged of evil.

Berthier’s signature attack was Dark Water. In episode 71, Berthier attempted to kill herself as well as everyone else with Dark Water Full Power until Koan convinced her not to.

Berthier had a tendency to add the “chan” honorific to her droid’s names. In general, Berthier spoke formally with everyone.

Other Sailor Moon characters that Yuri Amano voiced are: Puko (episode 132), Kiriko (episode 145), and CereCere.

Hey look, it's White Diamond's court. Populated with a Ruby, a Sapphire, an Emerald, a Kermesite, a Berthierite, a Calaverite, and a Petzite.

I always wonder what were the four Ayakashi sister name relevance. Kinda like the shitennou. Calaveras means Skulls in spanish. But in both the jpn and eng dub they pronounce it wrong. Did naoko coincidentally name her after a word. Or did she mean to? And if she did what's the relevance to the other sisters? If their names even relate in the first place. And if they don't what makes Calaveras so special. Sorry if it's very confusing.

I had a feeling that people smarter than me had figured this one out, and I was right! So here’s what’s according to one source:

Kooan is comprised of two of the three Kanji that represent Kooankou (紅安鉱), a mineral that is also known as Kermesite and Red Antimony. The “Kermes” part of Kermesite means “Crimson.” The Kanji character that is missing is the character for a “mineral” or “ore.”*

Beruche is a shortened form of the mineral, Berucheko (the ko part that was removed is the Kanji for “mineral/ore”). Berucheko is the Japanese name for Berthierite.*

Calaveras’ name comes from the mineral karaberasuko which is the Japanese name for Calaverite. The ko that is missing from her name is the Kanji character that means “mineral/ore.”*

Petz’s name comes from the mineral Pettsuko, which is what the Japanese call the mineral Petzite. (the missing ko in the Romanization is the Kanji for “mineral/ore.”)*

Headcanon Mondays:  Grand Guignol Orchestra headcanon of the Day #18

Kohaku uses guns partly because he can’t stand to get too close to guignols for too long, because they set off his headaches. After his time in the resistance, he is pretty adept at melee combat but reserves this for dealing with humans. Lucille and Berthie were pretty impressed when they first saw him in action.  He does, however, take particular relish in blowing guignols to smithereens; perhaps that’s his revenge for the head-splitting headaches they make him suffer.
