sailor moon for the ask meme hehe

LOL MAX I KNEW YOU'D BE THE ONE TO HIT ME WITH THIS FIRST. And what a good fandom! (I was fairly sure you were gonna make me work with Kuroko or something lmaoooooo) Anyway here we go! Also for clarity, this will be exclusively based on the original Sailor Moon anime (because the manga and Crystal hit very different u know.) Also this is going under a read more bc I wrote you a FUCKING novel.

1. blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most):

Minako Aino/Sailor Venus. Listen, I love her Your Honor. I honestly expected this one to be the most difficult to answer bc boy howdy do I love SO MANY of the characters in this anime, and so many dynamics??? At the end of the day though, Minako has been such a longtime favorite, and I really do love her portrayal in the classic anime. We get her first appearance, so cool and so competent; we find out she's been working on her own for so long, and that she's relieved to be part of the team. As the series progresses we see her grappling with the things she's given up (specifically volleyball, and teenage romances, and non-senshi friendships), and trying to determine whether she can have those things in her life, or if she's going to be forced to constantly choose between a sense of normalcy and this responsibility that she feels so deeply. I always personally interpreted her boy-and-celebrity crazy traits as the feedback from feeling so cut-off from normal teenage experiences, as well as those being a safer outlet for those feelings. It's easier to have a wild crush on a celebrity who knows you don't exist, than on someone who might like you back and be hurt for it one day. I love her so, so, SO much and I think about her far too often. rip.

2. scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped):

Chibiusa/Sailor Chibi Moon. I suspect this isn't supposed to be a literal baby, but holy shit would I adopt Chibiusa tomorrow. She's so tiny and has so many big, over-the-top, feelings that she can't really contain them all. She's a baby whose fight-or-flight has been set to the maximum throw hands setting, and her first appearance is so iconic that I have literally no choice but to stan. I remember thinking she was annoying when I was a teenager, but I was fucking wrong. I love how her courage and fear are portrayed side-by-side; how she wants so BADLY to be an adult, and actively tries to take on responsibilities and consequences of adulthood, but ultimately relies on the "adults" around her to help because at the end of the day she is a little girl. Her friendships with Hotaru and Setsuna are so fucking wholesome I could die, and literally anytime Diana is perched on her head I could destroy the screen because it's so cute. I can't take it.

3. scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave)

Zoisite. This might be cheating, but also I'm of the opinion that no matter how many people might appreciate him, it's not enough. Listen, is there a little bit of the stereotypical bitchy femme gay present in this adaptation of Zoisite? Yes. Is it also balanced by the fact that Zoisite is one of the most competent villains in the entire series? In my opinion, also yes. I can see where other people might not be able to look through the stereotype, but I know quite a few men like him tbh and I think he's allowed to be fleshed out enough as a character that he isn't just the stereotype. Also he's a total, ruthless, bitch and he deserved better out of a top than Kunzite. I said what I said. I love them as a ship but good god did Kunzite just absolutely come unraveled when Zoisite died when you KNOW what that bitchy little twink wanted was for Kunzite to kill the senshi and Beryl and take power for himself, or something. Damn. Also Zoisite orchestrated Nephrites downfall and I think that really does elevate him to an S-tier character, because I needed his gaslighting p*do ass to go.

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week):

Fisheye. Maybe also Tigereye and Hawkeye, but mostly Fisheye. These characters get a dramatically expanded role in the narrative in the anime, and it's one of my FAVORITE arcs in the entire series, tbh? And I just never see enough people talk about them, so I will do it for all of us. I will shoulder this weight. Queer representation in Sailor Moon is a hot topic, and I could write a whole-ass novel on that on a different post, so I'm going to keep it to this: Fisheye deserves better than what he gets in Crystal and in the manga, and the anime gives it to him. Is he another effeminate gay character who is a villain? Yes (kind-of.) There's definitely some problems to unpack in the choices made with Fisheye as representation, I'll admit. That being said, I love that he's the most competent of his peers, and I love that when betrayed by his incompetent boss, he turns around and joins Sailor Moon's side (and gives his life in the process???) only to have his treachery betrayed by having Sailor Moon and Helios give him what he always wanted -- which was a very innocent wish, and really he's just a victim here. I COULD DO LIKE AN ENTIRE THING JUST ABOUT FISHEYE OKAY I REALLY LOVE HIM. (Prince Saphir is also my runner-eye for this one, but he has less to dig into and less for me to rant about for an entire week.)

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave):

Haruka Tenoh/Sailor Uranus & Michiru Kaioh/Sailor Neptune. I'm blatantly cheating at this point, but if you're still reading this novel I think you can live with that lmaoooo. There is a lot more controversy surrounding this duo than I personally think that there should be, and I could probably also do an entire post about it, but the main takeaway here is that I love their OG anime portrayal. You can pry it from my cold, dead, hands. Particularly the way that they're written in Sailor Moon S [chef kiss]. I have very strong opinions about both the manga and Crystal's take on Haruka in particular (read: I don't like it), and I've seen a LOT of discourse about these women over the years in fandom spaces. I can't elaborate right now, but if someone wants me to I'm sure I can make a post that will get me blocked by a bunch of people, and have others screaming that I've got anon turned off. (I'm not afraid of anon hate, I just think if you've got something to say you can say it with your whole fucking chest.)(also right now anon is turned ON because I'm in a fic exchange but shhhhhhh.) (Seiya Kou is my runner-up for this one, and probably at least two others.)

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason):

Mamoru Chiba/Tuxedo Mask. All day, every day. If you didn't see this coming, we didn't watch the same anime. My mans here has two personality speeds: boyfriend (flat, boring, unoriginal; cardboard would fill-in just as nicely) and dad (inspired, show-stopping, original.) This is a guy who's so terrified of his own two brain cells that at one point, while suffering amnesia, he develops a whole-ass borderline racist subconscious persona and then manifests it as a tangible psychic projection. He's very sweet, but utterly unreliable. Dude loses his memories every five episodes. He loses basically every fight he picks. He has the dumbest dialogue the series have ever beheld. God, I love him. God, he's so easy to roast. What a king. (Seiya Kou is also a runner-up for this. This whole ass boy really thought Usagi was ever gonna give him another glance for half a season. RIP.)

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell):

Prince Demande & Nephrite. I feel like these need no explanation, if you've watched the original anime. Though Demande is a bit toned down, and I would probably hesitate, for Saphir's sake. (runner-up: Seiya Kou, but only in specific episodes. my dude she told you she has a boyfriend??? also Haruka will kick his ass long before I get him stuffed into superhell lmaooooooo)
