going out of order here but when have we ever done things orderly in this blog. The Dark Kingdom! With a whole-ass extra group of girls! because me! info below

We start of course with "Queen Beryl", which is nothing more than Metallia donning a humanoid form to command her generals, finding it easier to control them herself than risking the real Beryl reincarnation fucking it up by remembering that she had used her. She's the only member of the Dark Kingdom that DIES dies, everyone else reincarnates after all is over (same way the core cast does) and recover their memories between the Makai Tree and Black Moon arcs, a mini arc of their own based on the PC Engine visual novel THAT I NEED TO PLAY I HAVE IT DOWNLOADED I'VE JUST FOCUSED ON OTHER STUFF LOL.

The Shitennou! and the... Shitenjou? I am old school and Four Heavenly Kings is a fucking mouthful, so in the AU they're just the Dark Kingdom Generals. Like the Senshi, they all have to transform into their General form first to access their powers. Mio loses access to her Morganite persona in her second chance, unlocking the full power of Sailor Earth instead. They all also have different colors compared to their canon looks - I used the colors of the real corresponding gems for each.

Morganite/Mio is the youngest of the Generals and the real reincarnation of Beryl. I don't need to go over her y'all know her she's Sailor Earth girl has like 7 posts about her alone already lmao. Her focus is gathering energy, but she goes more for places where people already gather more than more planned stuff.

Jadeite/Hayato is 17, second youngest of the Generals, impulsive and hotheaded. His focus is on gathering energy, favoring groups of people focused on something in particular for his purpose and working with a single Youma on it. He has power over wind.

Azurite/Kanami is 20, flighty but maintaining a sense of elegance, theatric. Her focus is gathering energy in groups, but she uses a team of 3 Youma for her tasks and usually keeps her distance from the plan. She has power over water. She is based on the OG anime Youma Thetis, who was frankly too cool to just be a Youma lol.

Nephrite/Masato is 19, dramatic and theatric to a greater degree than Azurite, with a fondness for astrology. Said fondess is his primary tool on his focus - finding the Silver Crystal, using the trajectory of the stars to select locations where it might be and place a team of Youma to investigate. He has power over light.

Fluorite/Sayaka is 19, focused and no-nonsense, which puts her at massive odds compared to the dramafest that is literally everyone else. Being her is suffering. She's somehow Nephrite's bestie despite this. Her focus is also finding the Silver Crystal, but unlike Nephrite she scouts out locations herself assisted by a single Youma. She has power over electricity. She is partially based on Codename Sailor V's Fluorite, just butch and more involved.

Zoisite/Anji is the gay backstabbing twink we all know and love, the only difference is that he doesn't actually kill any of the other generals he just steals credit and targets lmao. He's 22, and is in charge of strenghtening Youma, but as it doesn't take much of his time he likes to crash on everyone else's duties to be annoying. He has power over flowers.

Kunzite/Shinkou, 25, is still in homosexuals with Zoisite, very much in love, they can be disgusting when together the man loves his man. Away from his bf however he's just as no-nonsense as Fluorite and constantly has to scold the other Generals to focus more on their tasks. His focus is on finding Princess Serenity's reincarnation and deal with her as soon as possible, knowing of the risk she poses to the Dark Kingdom but having a vague memory of something horrific related to her. He has power over ice.

Albite/Yorine, 30, is the oldest of the Generals and the most dedicated to Metallia - knowing the truth behind her identity. She is quiet and stoic, but goes with the flow of everyone else's antics with incredible ease. She's the only full OC in the lineup, and her focus is creating parasite Youmas - Youmas that can take over a living host and form a body from it. She has power over fire.

You also get to see the civilian/untransformed form! For 6 of them at least Albite doesn't change eye or hair color and y'all know Mio's gonna be part of a different lineup.

NOW FOR MY FAVORITE THING, NAMES.

Jadeite is Shiokawa Hayato - Shiokawa roughly means "salt river", while Hayato is in hiragana and so can have multiple meanings.

Nephrite is Sanjouin Masato - just fully lifting his OG anime alias, I take what I'm given lmao. I did get to find out what his name means! Sanjouin would roughly be "Temple of 3 Items", Masato is "holy man".

Azurite is Kakihara Kanami - Kakihara would mean "oyster source", Kanami is "melody/performance of the sea"

Zoisite is Ozawa Anji - Ozawa means "small swamp", Anji means "compassionate apricot". Anji is also an unisex name, which I feel goes with Zoisite's femme vibe.

Kunzite is Inokuma Shinkou - Inokuma has the kanji for both boar and bear because subtlety is dead for me, Shinkou means "dawn light". Shinkou goes by the nickname "Shin", matching with his PGSM incarnation before he awakened his memories.

Fluorite is Haibara Sayaka - Haibara means "hazelnut tree source", Sayaka is in hiragana because I simply liked the name for her lol.

lastly, Albite is Iwamoto Yorine - Iwamoto means "real rock", fitting for the rock guys, while Yorine is a more classical/older name, meaning "sound of an era".

After the Dark Kingdom arc, they all return to a normal life and become casual friends with the Senshi (and closer friends to Mamoru and Mio), and keeping their powers, they help out the Senshi when they have to take care of bigger stuff.

your headcanon about Sailor Venus being the reason the Silver Millennium falls is so interesting!

what's the role of Metalia and Beryl in it? did they work together with Sailor Venus?

Thank you!

I actually don’t really consider Metalia when I think about SilMil and the Dark Kingdom, if i do implement her, she’s usually more of a ‘force’ rather than an entity per se, but to answer your question, not really.

Silmil Venus wants to cause the downfall of the Silver Millennium, but she has no means or interest to interact with the Earth colony. She’s very aware of the multiple rebellions and surges, but it’s more like she uses them to her advantage rather than fully cooperate with anyone. Her main means of manipulation are through the Princess and even the Queen herself, pushing the Queen to take the Earth threats more seriously and thus causing further dismay and desperation upon the people of Earth, accelerating the possible tipping point that could finally cause a full on War. While also keeping secret of the more delicate aspects of the rebellion, such as infiltrators. She knows exactly who’s planning to turn their backs on the Kingdom, but since it highly benefits her, she keeps it a secret.

As for Beryl, Beryl has so much potential, she genuinely has and I do plan on exploring aspects of her character in my version of Silmil. To start she’s not just a random maiden (or witch for some reason), she’s a part of a highly secretive rebellion group against Moon kingdom, who’s goal is to free Earth and its people from the ruthless dictatorship of Serenity. This group includes tons of different people, sort of like a spy network, but at its core it’s composed of Beryl herself, Kunzite, Zoisite, Nephrite, Jadeite, Thetis, Enymion and .. Luna. (If someone is more curious about this one shoot an ask and I’ll explain further, but i rlly wanna focus on Beryl in this).

Beryl’s goals are to infiltrate the Moon Kingdom, steal and shatter the silver Crystal, being aware that that crystal is the center of all power for Serenity and the other Senshi. This information being gathered by Luna and also by a mysterious voice who offers her guidance.

A lot of how exactly the Moon Kingdom falls is still in the writing works, but I basically see Queen Serenity finding out about Luna, executing her and launching what is by all means a missile attack to Earth, destroying and killing thousands of people in the villages where Beryl and the knights reside. This hatred within Beryl causes the mysterious voice to fully come forth and offer her a power in exchange for Queen Serenity’s life, she takes it and a full on attack on the Moon starts. The Queen is obviously taken aback, but she’s also very old and much weaker than she used to be, so she leaves most of the work on Venus. Venus takes it willingly and kills all of the other senshi behind closed doors (which at this point is only Mercury, Jupiter and Mars), looking to find the princess next.

Beryl and the Queen have a one to one, where the queen becomes more and more aware that she’s not making it out alive and at this point she’s not putting much of a fight, it’s the inevitable end of a cycle and her time was about to come soon anyways. The Queen is old and tired, the empire is falling, but a new ruler is going to be reborn regardless and she will start a new empire. She accepts death and lets herself be killed by Beryl. In the meantime Endymion is looking for Serenity, but Venus gets to him first and kills him. When Serenity finds her way to her deceased lover, Venus lies, like she always does, saying he was killed in battle, along with the rest of her guardians and her mother.

By means I still haven’t fully figured out (I will find a way for it to make sense, I’m so determined!) Venus sword has the power to reawaken a soul lying dormant within a reincarnated body if the previous reincarnation was killed by said blade, so she proposes to let Serenity be killed by her so that hers and Serenity’s souls will live on into the next life and will eventually be able to fully reawaken and take over their reincarnated selves. It will be their new life, where Serenity will be able to live happily ever after with her beloved prince, free from the shackles of the will of her mother and any responsibility to have to govern any empire. Serenity accepts and lets her ‘dearest of friends’ Venus kill her. With a smile on her face Venus points the sword toward herself, knowing she will live on, free from the queen and finally being able to kill her princess before she’s able to enslave her again in her next life.

Beryl and the kings return victorious to Earth and live relatively regular lives after that. Skip to the time where the senshi are starting to get reborn and the mysterious voice reaches out for the souls of Beryl and the other kings and Endymion, their job is not done and they must stop the new princess and her guardians from rebuilding a new Empire in the current timeline.

A lot of this is still in the writing works, so stuff might change, but this is more or less how I see the fall of the Moon Kigdom and Beryl’s involvement in it. She’s sort of like the live long enough to see yourself become the villain trope, she was the hero all those years ago, she’s just blinded by rage and power fueled by this mysterious voice.

Sailor Moon Rewatch Week 4 (January 15-21)

009: Usagi's Disaster: Beware of the Clock of Confusion

They say time is money, but a suspicious sale at the clock store proves saving money can sometimes cost you more than just time. Sailors Moon and Mercury pair up for their first mission together in the midst of a Tokyo running on 2x speed.

010: The Cursed Bus: Enter Mars, the Guardian of Fire

Schoolgirls are going missing in Juuban and locals are starting to point fingers, namely at Rei Hino, the beautiful but abrasive priestess of the Hikawa Shrine, whose good luck charms seem to have promised the exact opposite for those missing girls. But what Usagi & Ami must ascertain is whether Rei is the mastermind behind these disappearances… or another potential victim.

011: Usagi vs. Rei: Nightmare in Dream Land

Yippee! The Sailor Guardians are on their funnest scouting to date: scoping out Yume Land, Juuban’s sweetest, dreamiest amusement park! Who cares about those allegations of missing park-goers when their mascot, Princess Dream, is *this* adorable!?

012: I Want a Boyfriend: The Luxury Cruise Ship is a Trap

Nothing’s more romantic than a luxury cruise through the Tokyo bay area… except maybe having an actual sweetheart to take said cruise with. The Sailor Guardians catch a ride - some legitimately, some not - only to find the Youma Thetis has her own romantic motivations to impress Jadeite with their downfall.

Happy Jadeite Day! February 29th has been declared Jadeite Day, comes around only once every four years. It’s also Thetis Thursday, perfect excuse to draw them together and make an entire series of them in iconic transportation scenes.

(I’m assuming most people recognize this scene, but maybe not, it’s an iconic scene from Speed. Which I’ve never actually seen, I saw Speed 2, which is on a boat!)

"This is for you Charlie, I hope you like it."

So, I know @coppercrane2 is a marvel fan and likes the fantastic 4. The clip of Johnny Storm (voiced by Brian Austin Green) from the 1994 fantastic 4 cartoon, rapping the song titled 'flame on' has recently blown up. I decided to make a surprise gift where Jadeite is rapping it (with Thetis being the conductor of the orchestra, while Morga, Ramua, Murido and Balm play the instruments). Jadeite looks the most like Johnny, plus by extension of his romance with Mars, the fire senshi, you can see where this is going 😂

"I Won't Forget You"

Late submission for @smvillainsweek Day 1, theme Corruption / Redemption. The end of the Golden Kingdom (and the beginning of the Dark Kingdom), shortly before the past life events of episode 44 of the 90s anime (and Prince Endymion's confrontation with the Shitennou in the PC Engine Game).

The chambers (beds? sarcophagus?) are based on the one Mamoru is put into in late season 1, when he's being mind controlled to serve the Dark Kingdom...

CHAPTER EIGHT IS UP!!!

This chapter took WAY longer than I anticipated to finish!

And if you thought chapter 7 was a lengthy read……hold my beer. (It should take about 45 min to read chapter 8, maybe a little over an hour if you use screen readers)

BUT (as the gif above suggests) Sailor Mars AND Sailor Mercury are simultaneously introduced in this chapter!

AND.

I have decided to pair Queen Beryl with a certain somebody. And no, it’s not Endymion.

No, it’s not one of the Shittenou, either.

It’s Thetis. I paired her with Thetis.

“What? Are you serious? How?” you may or may not be currently asking yourself.

Read and find out! And stay tuned for chapter 9!
