I thought you'd like to know that I'd never given the Metro series even a brief consideration, but your talking about it the other day now has me considering a sale bundle on GOG. So, thanks for enabling!

Always happy to help! XD

I do hope you like it! I have a lot of Feelings about the first two games, as you know.

When you play it, let me know your thoughts!

Let's Get Physical: DocDoc's Run Draw

Hi everyone! Since @keyofjetwolf was brave enough to run a 5k, and we all know I really and truly support getting into running and racing and race walking and basically physical activity in general.

I am giving away AN EIGHT DAYS OF CONTENT DAY. This will be done during Eight Days (obviously) and because it's an eight days day, it's 6 hours, and VERY freeform. So, do you want 4 hours of liveblogging, and then a two hour stream? No problem! As always, I have veto power but I'm pretty reasonable I think and I'll work with you to make you happy.

WOW HOLLIGAY, HOW DO I WIN THIS?

You run! You run. If you run a chipped race of 5k or better between June 1st and October 1st, you get an entry. Let's drill down what that means!

A 'chipped race' is a race with an official timekeeping method, that generally uses a chip on the back of your bib for an official time. (For those of you in the Uk and SOME parts of the US but definitely the Uk, parkrun is chipped!! Chipped and fucking free. Bless)

In the US, I really recommend using runsignup to find races near you. In The UK I would use findarace. I haven't found a site I like for Canada.

The entries scale in approximately 5k increments. A 5k is one entry, a 10k is two, half marathon is four, etc.

SUBMISSION PAY ATTENTION HERE:

Once you finish, you will, through most sites, get an email or link that looks very much like this:

There will be the above chip, and then I want anywhere from two lines to as long as you want to go about how the race was. So, for this race chip above: I raced this to get a coupon, and it turned out that I was ineligible anyhow. Annoying, but I was proud of myself for doing better at making like Kate Bush and running up that hill than I ever have. That would be a totally fine entry. Does NOT have to be elaborate.

You will put this IN THE HOLLIGAY'S DUDE RANCH COMMUNITY. If you need to join, just ask me either on this post or in an ask to add you. I would love to have you anyhow! I doubt I will need to but if I need to further verify your participation, I will contact you.

Bonus entries!

No bonuses for speed, that's the EXACT opposite of the environment I am trying to create here. Walk the motherfucker if you want, it's about getting out there! If you're faster than me, i will simply hate you privately.

But! There will be a bonus entry for:

Funniest race summation/review

Best cheerleader (Posting comments on other people's race entries)

Most hilarious/miserable looking race picture (pictures are not required for an entry but very very welcomed)

I reserve the right to give out multiples of these extra entries.

I think that's it! Ask me any questions you'd like, and get out there!

Be around Montanans when a spontaneous, strong aurora is going to be visible!

They will drop all their plans, drive 30 minutes to a higher, flatter spot, find an off road, risk getting their cars stuck in the mud to then lead you under some barbed wire into an open cow pasture to just stand outside for 45 minutes to watch it.

It was amazing

An AMV focusing on Rei Hino/Sailor Mars from Sailor Moon to her image song "Flame Sniper", sung by her VA Michie Tomizawa. You can see the translated lyrics here. This AMV includes the completely cheesy and ridiculous English intro I adore.

This is probably my best Sailor Moon image song AMV and I think it was the last AMV I ever made. That's because it's actually a partially remade version of an older AMV! I think I did it for a contest @keyofjetwolf was holding back in the day.

The original version had quite a few views (so much so that it's preserved on Wayback), but it had a bunch of timing issues, which is why I did this remake. And somehow Toei didn't destroy it! Which I'm glad about. It's a jam and it was fun syncing all of Rei's badass moments to it.

Are those your first socks? They look awesome!

New Holligay-sized blockers arrived, so if I can get the ends woven in while Midgey had quiet time tomorrow, they'll be completely done and ready for use during the weekend cold snap!

🍓🛼🥤for the writer truth or dare!

Ask game!

🍓 what got me into writing fic?

Way back when, it was @keyofjetwolf running Sailor Moon prompt things and such on tumblr!

🛼 latest WIP in 5 emojis

Uhh... ⏳💀🌊🦑📖

🥤 rec a writer or fic

I have to recommend The poem ends, soft as it began (I loved my friend) by SupposedToBeWriting aka @organchordsandlightning . It's a Malevolent fic in which John gets spat out of the Dreamlands by himself, in Arthur's body, and is trying to deal with that grief. I have only read it once, because every now and again I consider rereading it, find it in my bookmarks, think "no I don't need to I remember it perfectly" and go and have a cathartic little cry. It just lives in my head, giving me emotions about these two.

Random-Mailbox's Favorite Sailor Moon Fics - Week 16 - Christmas Part 2

When working on the stories to include in this week’s post, the list kept growing, and growing… and growing. And even though I try my best to not have giant posts, this one will be an exception. @riverlethe made an excellent suggestion of capping it at 12, to use “Twelve Days of Christmas” song as my loose cultural inspiration. So here is how we got to the final number. 

As always, my apologies in advance for spoiling some of these for you (Fic Titles are linked to either FFN or AO3 entries).

The Gift of Giving - Silent Serenade

Growing up in an orphanage, Holidays for Mamoru were not his happiest season. There was a tradition of adding gift requests from kids to the “Tree of Joy” for adults doing their shopping to hopefully fill. The one time Mamoru had requested something, it was a book, which some benefactor has managed to fulfil. This story explores how that one small act of kindness shaped the person he is today.

Christmas Law - @keyofjetwolf

Usagi is on a mission, and has all the girls on her side, to make her one Christmas wish come true - a kiss under the mistletoe with Mamoru. Whatever it may take.

The Twelve Roses of Christmas - SailorSong

As Usagi tries to get all the gifts ready for Christmas, she keeps coming across discarded roses. Coupled with Mamoru suddenly acting nicer than he has ever before, our protagonist is in for quite a Holiday Adventure. 

I dare you - Princess Destiny

Bored Senshi decided that a game of “Truth or dare” will stave off their boredom. Usagi, after choosing dare, gets asked to kiss the mall Santa. 

Tis' Christmas Gift Giving - @billyjbradshaw

Absolutely adorable one shot about the progression of Mamoru and Usagi’s relationship over the years, as they move from uneasy truce to friendship to something else entirely.

I Saw Mama Kissin' Santa Claus - SailorSong

The break-up in this post-Anime’s R season story extended past defeat of Wiseman. Everyone now knows that Usagi will one day become Neo-Queen Serenity and that Chibi-Usa is her daughter but no one knows who might be her significant other. We watch as Usagi and Mamoru try to find new footing and their path back to each other.

12 Days of Christmas Crumbs - @sessediz

Super cute collection of Holiday themed one-shots that revolve around our favourite duo and their working their way into each other’s lives.

Baby's First Christmas - @kaleidodreams

In this super cute story, we get to watch the first family of Crystal Tokyo celebrate Small Lady’s first Christmas, and all the preparations that go into it. 

The Perfect Present - @she-dreams-in-pink

With a friendly competition between Usagi and Mamoru on who gives the best presents, Usagi is on a mission to find something absolutely amazing for Mamoru.

Covert Christmas Ops - @linlamont

Hotaru and Setsuna go on an adventure night before Christmas to try and figure out who did Haruka accidentally give something that was meant for Michiru, running into the other senshi and the future king of Crystal Tokyo in their pursuit. 

All I Want for Christmas is AU -Chapter 1: Have Yourself an Ugly Little Christmas - @queenrisa14

This story came out a few days too late to be included in the Ugly Christmast sweater post, HOWEVER, I really didn't want to have to wait and whole year before adding it to the rec list. Mamoru loses a bet at work and is forced to wear Ugly Christmas sweaters for his shifts, something he considered a terrible punishment until a friendly sales clerk at one of the shops makes it her mission to help him find only the best ones. 

A Christmas Gift - @lyraterra

Usagi and Mamoru bump into each other at the airport after their flight gets cancelled due to a snow storm (very timely for the craziness of travel everyone had to put up with in North America over the last 7 days). With Usagi dropping her keys in the snow, Mamoru suggests that she spend the night at his place until they can sort everything out. This is another absolutely wonderful reveals story from @lyraterra but with a Holiday twist.

Next week's post will go up on Jan 2 and will be a collection of New Year's themed stories. I will try to come up with the full schedule for January posts by then.

@keyofjetwolf I HAVE SURVIVED

[landofanimes]

Hi. I really enjoy your Sailor Moon musical content and want to thank you for all the news you post regularly! I am still new to this side of the fandom but I'd like to see more and I wonder if you could recommend some active Sailor Moon musical blogs? 😀

Hi! Thank you, I’m glad to hear it! ^^ As I’ve become a fan of the musicals I got eager for news and wanted to share them here, specially as the blogs who used to do so stopped doing it!!! Plus I need one place to put all the photos I find :) I’m glad to know it’s been useful/cool to other fans! 

Now, about your question: active seramyu blogs? Oof, that’s tough. There used to be some but I haven’t seen them in the tags for some time now... So there’s a lot of content out there, just not as much NEW content, you know? But here we go:

senshidaily is actually about Sailor Moon in general, but they post gorgeous sera myu gifs too, and they’re very active!

staarry-skies has been posting gifs of the latest musical!!

vampiru-chan (who runs the sera-myu-week blog!) and gracemyheart post about Bandai Myu, but unfortunately they do not like Nelke myu, so it depends on what you want ^^’

<< In case you’re still figuring out the terms, the musicals from 1993-2005 were produced by Bandai, while Nelke has been producing the new myus from 2013-present. (outside of tumblr, wikimoon.org is a good archive of information of the musicals!) >>

kosmosinusa posts, but not much, they say they’re more active on twitter!

I think crazykacey is not usually active but lately they’ve given us reports, files and pamphlet translations of the latest musical!!! I believe it was also them who gave us audio files of The Super Live songs in their short appearance in Washington a few years ago, so clearly they’ve been serving us :)

You would find all these people in the #sera myu tag on tumblr though! It’s sadly not that busy of a tag, so whenever I want to see myu stuff, that’s where I go!

*****

Now, if you also want to check out blogs that are not currently posting about sera myu but have in the past, you can check these out:

seaofserenitysubs​ (important! specially their website)

missdreamsubs​​ (also mostly because of the website)

ainomessage​

myucornerorg​

sailorzakuro

zblog11

seramyuconfessions

sailormoonsub​ (has livebloged some myus in the tag #sms watches sera myu. Also has other Sailor Moon content, obviously!)

keyofjetwolf (has livebloged some myus in the tag #JW watches Sera Myu. Also lots of Sailor Moon content!)

I probably forgot something, if anyone out there remembers more cool myu blogs (or is posting about it themselves!), feel free to add!

And welcome to the myu side of the Force, anon!

Sailor Moon Icon? What's your favorite sailor moon episode?

Hello! A long time ago I had a list of Top 100 Sailor Moon Moments. (This idea was shamelessly cribbed from @keyofjetwolf). My #1 was episode 46, the last episode of the first season. When Usagi finally gets her shit together and goes to fight. I love that growth for her so much and it always makes my heart pound. What about you, anon?

[thoughtfulfangirling]

#i hate to concede she may have been right on this one #JUST THIS ONE #i of course have not and will not learn anything

Your tags here reminded me of something.

You may not be the most like Rei ever, but since it's so much more fun to give you shit, you don't get credit where credit is due in that you are more like her than I think can easily be conveyed online.

You are one stubborn sob and latch onto certain things with a determination—if not obvious rage—like a dog with a bone. There, I hope I've given this morning some brightness for you 😂

DOCDOC BIRTHDAY WEEK EXTRAVAGANZA

HELLO AND WELCOME! For my birthday, i am getting to do things that *I* want to do, but I hope that you will love as well! Stuff we don't normally do, stuff I don't always have time for, etc. I hope this looks as fun to you as it does to me: BMuch of this I have handpicked as "Fuck I would love to do that if I had the time"

Saturday, August 10th: That evening, we'll have a lovely fun stream. The movie that won the draw out of the pitches was:

I FUCKING LOVE THE QUICK AND THE DEAD I HAVEN'T WATCHED IT IN YEARS THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME IT EXISTED. It's so bad, it's so bad. It is so very much a shitty modern girlpower type fucking movie, it has NOT ONE IOTA of subtlety, it was basically a 60s-70s Western made with A Girl but trying to do business with the grittier Westerns of the 90s AMAZING. I CANNOT WAIT to tell you everything that is wrong with this movie, it is so fun and fucking stupid.

Sunday, August 11th: I'm running a race Full Send because this is how I have fun I guess but then, that evening, Jackbox games!

Monday, August 12th: The Patreon release of some more of Justified Episode one, and then that night, the movie club for The Lucky Mill! There's a separate post on that, I'll make sure to reblog it again a few times.

Tuesday, August 13th: First of all, It's Lena's birthday! According to my canon, the only one that matters. Weirdly this is not related to it being close to my birthday--I picked it out of a book about birthdays that I use for that sort of thing. I 'found' her personality and just made that her birthday. It's how I did it for all the Overwatch characters. ANYWAY.

It'll be a 'liveblog' (More like a series of long posts) about Season 2, Episode 9 of Vinland Saga. I streamed this show, and really really liked it, but Oath was, I think, my favorite of a series of very good episodes, and I can't wait to really talk about it.

Wednesday, August 14th: IT IS MY BIRTHDAY SHOWER ME WITH AFFECTION. I am going to the fair all day. It is also, no joke, Doc Holliday's birthday. How's that for fuckin kismet?

Thursday, August 15th: A series of unhinged essays about the television show Interview With The Vampire, deeply informed by the fact that the Vampire Chronicles were akin to my Harry fucking Potter when I was a deeply weird 13-16 year old. HUGE spoilers for the books, but honestly the TV show has been so different that it might NOT be a spoiler for the show ahaha. (I do very much like the show, in case anyone is worried it'll be a hateblog.)

That night: @keyofjetwolf and I will be watching S2E5 of Interview. She will have only seen UP to that point, and it's one of my favorite eps (I am sure all of you who have seen it know why)

Friday, August 16th: We finish off with a drunken stream. I will be asked to identify anime and what they are about in what I can only assume is some kind of Who Wants To Be A Weeaboo Piece of Shit, while I am drunk. May include audience participation. For any more detailed instructions/explanation, @ultrace is the main runner of this, with a heavy assist by @keyofjetwolf I think it will be very funny and I will do badly ahahah.

And that will be it! a full week of fun celebration! PLEASE JOIN ME AND HAVE FUN

[thoughtfulfangirling]

Just watched the Sailor moon D-Point episode with a friend and the creators of that episode really love the sailor senshi, particularly Rei.

It's so funny to me that the everyone knows Ami's Bubble Blast does nothing, so she couldn't kill anyone. But she got to disrupt DD Girls' power.

LOVE that Mako got to kill two of them with one big badass blast. I don't know if I ever quite realized she got two of them, but I was paying attention in particular to that this time. She's the powerhouse who gets to kill two with one attack even while Rei is the most dedicated and gets to kill two separately.

They didn't best know what to do with Minako but the VA did an exceptional job. It really brought a lot to the episode that she truly sounded scared to die. Not like battle yells but actually fearful. She's been doing this the longest, has known longer than anyone she could die doing this. And that never under cut how afraid she was. But she fought anyway.

But absolutely they let Rei take the show. She really is such a fucking badass in that episode shooting Fire Soul through a fucking glacier to kill the monster going after Usagi without even proper line of sight. Rei said she would protect Usagi and by god she would not be stopped. And she wasn't even done there.

Amazing. Love it. Gold star. No notes. @keyofjetwolf I feel you. Yes, I immediately thought of you when Rei turned to that last DD girl with that rage filled eye and said she wasn't fucking done and burnt that bitch to a crisp.

Round of applause

MY FIRST CREWEL EVER

Paging my fiber art biddies to sit by the fire and gossip with: @keyofjetwolf @tallangrycockatiel @madegeeky (and any I do not know Offhand )
