#like I grew up loving sailor moon aesthetics

feeling masculine but vibing with "feminine" things is such a mind fuck gender thing to figure out about yourself

IDGAF that Elain's Feminine

"You hate on Elain because she's traditionally feminine,"

No bitch, I hate Elain because she's a self serving, ungrateful hypocrite, as I've explained in many previous posts. I hate her for how she abandoned Nesta, pushes her boundaries and never once returned the love Nesta gave her. Nesta coddling her the way she did was wrong, admittedly, but could've been solved with a basic conversation about boundaries. Many characters could benefit from one, and a lot of problems would solve themselves if they just respected boundaries.

Perhaps there are a few who don't like feminine characters, but there are just as many, if not more, who are simply indifferent since we know little about her or her opinions/thoughts. Others don't like her for the reasons I mentioned above. So saying she's hated for being feminine is a bit extreme.

Especially since my favourite characters in many forms of media are the traditionally feminine ones. Evangeline Fox is my favourite FMC, and don't really think I'll be able to move on from her when I finish A curse for true love. She's my fictional role model, from her aesthetic to her bravery to her determination.

I also adore Tohru Honda from Fruits basket, Anne Halford from Sugar Apple Fairytale, Adora, Bow, and Glimmer from She-Ra, and the Sailor Scouts (Sailor Moon).

I grew up on the muted, pastel hues of Care Bares G1, My Little pony (G1) with a hint of action from Transformers and Avengers. So as much as I love a kick ass heroine, riding off into battle or saving the world, I love the ones who want to spend all day dressing up in pretty gowns. baking and petting cute animals just as much, if not more.

So, no. I don't hate Elaine for 'being too feminine'. I would've actually loved Elain, if not for the way she treated Nesta. If nothing else, I there's a chance Elain is only doing it to avoid being nest on the IC's chopping block, in which case, I'll understand why, view her as a victim, while insisting she needs to make some serious apologies, and advocate for her to receive some serious apologies too. But until we find out what's going through her head, we can only have the version of her we see through the eyes and experiences of other characters.

(P.S if you have any recs for books/shows with feminine fmcs or that might generally fit my vibe, feel free to let me know)

My rankings for every season in the Sailor Moon franchise

It’s been well over a month since Sailor Moon Cosmos dropped on Netflix, and the hype still hasn’t worn off me just yet. Sailor Moon is actually a very special franchise to me because it was one of the very first anime I watched as a kid, and now, having just watched Cosmos this year, I decided to rank all seasons from both the 90s anime and Crystal together on one list, from worst to best (or from least favorite to most favorite, since this is all my own subjective opinion). And yes, this will include Eternal and Cosmos, since they’re part of the Crystal canon.

10. Sailor Moon Crystal - Season 1 (2014):

Starting at the very bottom of my list is a choice that might come off as controversial to some, but even if you love every single season of Crystal, I’m sure most of us can agree that Crystal’s first season was pretty rough in terms of quality. Aside from the wonky animation and the uncanny valley designs of the girls, the thing that bothers me the most about this season is how utterly ignored the Inner Senshi are in favor of the “Miracle Romance”. I don’t hate the UsaMamo ship as a whole, but they really didn’t need to sacrifice the characters of all the Inner Senshi (and their little bonding moments with Usagi in the manga) in order to make the main romance look good! The most egregious examples of this are:

And don’t even get me started on that horrible “romantic subplot” between the Inner Senshi and the Shitennou that wasn’t even in the manga! If you want to read more about how awful that was, crystalquality made a great post about it right here. Anyway, Season 1 of Crystal was a massive disappointment for me. So if you really want a darker, more mature version of the Dark Kingdom arc, I suggest you stick with the manga version.

9. Sailor Moon: Sailor Stars (1996):

Now, as someone who grew up during the 90s and early 2000s, I enjoyed watching every season of the original Sailor Moon anime on TV…or at least, every season that was available to watch in the States. Fast forward to some time around 2018-2019, where I watched the subbed version of the whole Stars season on the Viz Media streaming site, and…needless to say, I was very disappointed by it. Granted, it did have some good things like the soundtrack, a few good moments between Usagi and Rei, and some very cute HaruMichi moments. However, for me, this is a season where the bad elements outweigh the good.

The story moves at a snail’s pace (despite being the shortest season of the 90s anime), the Sailor Animamates are annoying and WAY too incompetent at their job, Galaxia hardly does anything until the last 7 episodes, Chibi-Chibi is completely useless, and the Sailor Starlights take too much focus away from other important characters (including Princess Kakyuu, who was also utterly useless here)!

Not only that, but the Inner Senshi all act completely out of character for most of this season, including poor Ami.

Alright, who are you and what’ve you done to the real Ami Mizuno?

And speaking of the Inner Senshi, Minako is at her absolute worst in Sailor Stars!

And that’s only one example. Seriously though, if I were to list any more of Minako’s worst moments in Stars, we’d be here all day.

8. Sailor Moon SuperS (1995):

I have somewhat of a love/hate relationship with this season. Let’s start with the positives. The fantasy circus motif easily makes this one of the more aesthetically pleasing arcs in the series; the Amazon Trio start off really unlikable, yet in their last stretch of episodes, you can’t help but root for them. The Amazoness Quartet are also very likable and endearing, and I really appreciate what the 90s anime writers were trying to do with Nehelenia in this version (don’t really feel like going into full detail, but @ultraericthered made a great post about it right here).

On the other hand, this is the point in the 90s anime where Chibiusa stops being interesting and doesn’t even grow as a Sailor Senshi (despite the fact that this season is supposed to be the big turning point in her character arc)! It’s also the season where all 5 of the main Senshi get terribly nerfed by a magical talking horse. Speaking of which, why is Chibiusa’s relationship with Helios so shady in this version? I mean, at the start of the season, he reveals himself (in Pegasus form) to Chibs and Usagi to give them their new power-ups. Yet, right after that, he decides to spend a good middle chunk of the season hiding away in Chibiusa’s room, where he has Chibiusa keep their whole relationship a secret from the other Senshi; and my question is WHY?! It makes no sense, and makes Helios come across as a creep! I swear, he was so much better in the manga!

7. Sailor Moon Crystal - Season 2 (2015):

To clarify, I am not a Crystal hater. Yes, I do think the 1st season’s bad, but that doesn’t mean I think “all” of Crystal is bad. For instance, Season 2 gives us some of those classic goofy anime expressions that we were sorely missing from Season 1. Plus, each of the Inner Senshi get to have their own character-focused episode (before 3 of them end up getting abducted by the Black Moon Clan). Plus, it gives Sailor Pluto some much needed spotlight after being so underutilized in the 90s anime. And while the Black Moon Clan in this version are nowhere near as interesting as they were in Sailor Moon R, they’re still very threatening and work well as villains.

However, the reason I have this season so low at #7 is, sadly, because of Usagi. You see, since Crystal was made to follow the manga more closely, that unfortunately means we have to see Usagi behave like this throughout the first half of the arc:

Now, I know Usagi had some resentment towards Chibiusa in Sailor Moon R as well, but that was only because Chibiusa in that version was a little menace. Plus, the jealousy Usagi had over Mamoru in that version came from the fact that Mamo just broke up with her (because of a terrifying vision he had from King Endymion), and she was worried she did something wrong. Crystal’s version just makes Usagi come across as possessive and unlikable, which is probably why Black Moon is my least favorite arc in the manga as well.

6. Sailor Moon Classic (1992):

It pains me to place this one as low as #6, because I really do love this season a lot. The Shitennou actually have distinct personalities, Usagi’s friendship with Naru is a lot more prominent here than in any other incarnation of Sailor Moon, and I think the enemies-to-lovers dynamic between Usagi and Mamo is actually very endearing and makes their romance feel way less rushed as a result. However, with this being a weekly anime series from the 90s, there’s still a few pacing issues to be found. I didn’t mind the whole Rainbow Crystals mini-arc, nor did I mind that we had to wait till episodes 8 and 10 for Mercury and Mars to show up. Unfortunately, things get a bit more tedious when we have to wait out another 15 episodes for Jupiter to show up (the wait for Venus didn’t bother me much though, since her debut episode came hot off the heels of the Rainbow Crystals arc). The Evil Endymion arc also dragged on a lot longer than I would’ve liked. Still, this is easily one of the better adaptations of the Dark Kingdom arc, and will always hold a very special nostalgic place in my heart.

5. Sailor Moon R (1993):

I’ve already explained in great detail back in a different post on why this season is so criminally underrated to me. So, instead of repeating myself here, you can just read that to see why.

4. Sailor Moon Crystal - Season 3 (2016):

WOAH! Talk about a major upgrade! Not only does the animation here look a hundred times better than it did in the first 2 seasons of Crystal, but the character designs look way more appealing and feel like a nice middle ground between the classic 90s style and Naoko’s artstyle from the manga. Plus, we finally get to see Usagi and the Inner Senshi interact like real friends this time around! We also get to see the Inner Senshi contribute more to the fights, unlike the first 2 seasons of Crystal, where they constantly got their asses handed to them and needed Usagi to bail them out. Even the romance between Usagi and Mamoru is way more charming and less nauseating this time.

Also, gotta give this season props for making the Witches 5 feel more like a genuine threat, because in the 90s anime (with the exception of Eudial) they all felt like weaker and less memorable versions of the Specter Sisters from Sailor Moon R.

That being said, this season isn’t perfect. While most of the transformation sequences look amazing in the 3rd season of Crystal, Usagi’s just looks a bit too rubbery for my taste. Also, hot take, but I personally did NOT care for Haruka and Michiru in this version. In Crystal, they feel more like walking exposition dumps rather than actual characters. Meanwhile in the 90s anime, we got to know more about their civilian lives, how they first met, and they had personalities that didn’t exclusively revolve around Usagi. Also, for the only canonical lesbian couple in the entire series, it’s kinda gross how Crystal made Haruka and Michiru seem like mere plot devices to strengthen the relationship between the main hetero couple (then again, this was a problem in the manga’s Infinity arc as well, so I can’t really fault Crystal for that).

Aside from those issues, this was a very solid adaptation of Naoko’s Infinity arc, and its higher quality really helped set the stage for the final 2 Crystal adaptations later down the line.

3. Sailor Moon S (1994):

Now, I will admit that Season 3 of Crystal is better than S in terms of plotting and pacing, but the emotions…God, the emotions! They just hit so much harder in S than they do in Crystal!

And that Outer Senshi theme music by Takanori Arisawa is the absolute Chef’s Kiss of Sailor Moon music, bar none!

Plus, I actually like that Hotaru/Saturn got to be the one to save Earth this time. True, it would’ve been much better if we actually got to see the final battle between Saturn and Pharaoh-90, but I still think it’s a great season nonetheless.

2. Sailor Moon Cosmos (2023):

Man, talk about a grand finale! These two movies were just about everything Sailor Stars should’ve been. The Starlights are so much more likable and don’t feel like a plot tumor this time, the Sailor Animamates are given less screen time but are far more competent at their job, Chibi-Chibi is much more proactive and isn’t just there to be sickeningly cute, Galaxia’s more of an active threat throughout the story, and Princess Kakyuu is finally given the respect she deserves! Not only that, but Chibi Moon gets to have a role in the climax too (something that was also sorely missing from Sailor Stars).

Some may find it jarring to see all the other Senshi get killed off so abruptly in this version, but I didn’t mind it, because it gave Usagi the motivation she needed to go off into space with Princess Kakyuu and the Starlights to stop Galaxia.

Bottom line: These movies were terrific and a perfect way to cap off the Crystal series!

Sailor Moon Eternal (2021):

While the 90s anime version of the Dream arc may have been disappointing for many fans, these two movies completely rectify that problem by giving us what is, in my opinion, the BEST possible version of that arc! The Amazon Trio aren’t quite as memorable here as they were in SuperS, but to be fair, they’re not supposed to be “major” villains in this version, just basic obstacles for the Inner Senshi to face when they unlock their new powers. Speaking of which, the way the Inner Senshi get their new powers is SO much more satisfying here than how they got them in SuperS (especially Mako and Minako, who I thought were done very dirty in the latter)! There’s no nerfing the Senshi for contrived reasons. All the girls get an equal amount of time to shine in Eternal, including the Outer Senshi, which the SuperS season was sorely missing, but I digress.

Another thing I really appreciate about Eternal, was how it handled Helios and Queen Nehelenia. Helios is actually a lot more helpful this time, and not some cryptic emo boy that’s constantly keeping secrets for very contrived reasons. Plus, his romance with Chibiusa is a lot less creepy and a lot more wholesome in Eternal. Nehelenia, while already an entertaining villain in the 90s anime, is even more interesting here, because her past with Queen Serenity adds more emotional stakes to the conflict between her and the royal family of the White Moon.

Anyway, that was my personal ranking of each Sailor Moon “season”. Do you agree or disagree? Let me know what you think in the notes, if you want to.

WROEF JOB HEADCANONS<3

1. Calvin Finch

Astronaut

An astronaut,obviously. He would do great on the moon,and he could definitely do studying often,as well as helping engineering even with the rockets and such. On his side of the room,tons of books could be seen,it's only right to assume that he read them,and it's not just for decoration or the aesthetic.

2. Barbara Finch

Actress

She would slowly build her way up to being an actress once again. This time,America would love her bigger roles in more popular,"modern" movies and shows,so they'd keep giving her opportunities

3. Walter Finch

Train Driver

Train driver. With his interest in trains and traveling,being a train driver would be the perfect job for Walter. Sometimes he'd even just drive for the sake of it,even if he wasn't supposed to.

4. Molly Finch

Marine Biologist

Molly would be a marine biologist because of her love for the marine animals and curiosity for the deep sea. Molly also has a star fish that she was presumably working on. She would've been a good vet of some sort,basically any job with animals.

5. Gus Finch

Pilot or Air Force pilot

It's hard to tell what Gus wanted to be when he grew up. He had a punching bag,which could possibly mean he enjoyed punching and fighting things or people,so maybe a wrestler or trained fighter. Maybe even a musician. However,how likes being outside (probably) and flying his kite,Gus might enjoy being a pilot. Especially since his father is a veteran,Gus might go into Air Force.

6. Gregory Finch

Herpetologist/Zoologist

Gregory, even if he was a baby,had a passion for frogs specifically,though marine life in general,just like Molly. He could've been a Herpetologist and focus on frogs only,or be a zoologist,showing off his skills to people at zoos and finding random frogs and outside life for the fun of it.

7. Edith Finch

Journalist

Edith talks SO much,so what could she be? A journalist,or news reporter. With her patience,curiosity,and poetic mind,she would fit perfectly in with the news reporter path,or being a journalist to document stories or her own life.

8. Christopher Finch

Sailor

Christopher would be a sailor. Why? Because he traveled by boat. That's all I gotta say

Sailor Moon - Episode 1

So, my first anime I shall review is Sailor Moon! My friend recently reviewed it as they finished their watch of the first series and it has convinved me to watch the show. Yes I spoilt the entire series for myself by reading the review and oof... big reveals.

I will also likely update every ten episodes or so, or when I finsih a show.

So, as a courtesy, from here on out is spoilers.

SPOILERS I SAY!!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, as a first episode, I would say it is a 7, as I really like the characters and I think the premise is exceptionally cute!

I love that Usagi actually feels like a teenager going through life rather than these ridiculous sexualised fantasies that anime has become nowadays. It's one of my biggest icks in anime nowadays. Let kids be kids ffs! Thankfully the manga artist and writer is based and actually knows how to write women and girls. Truly refreshing (⸝⸝⸝• ω •⸝⸝⸝) ♡

Anyway, yeah, I feel like Usagi is my spirit animal at the moment, crying at the slightest inconvenience and always wanting to sleep. Oh and yeah, she has a cat who is Luna who is BASED and I really like the design.

I actually love the classic 90s anime vibe that Akira created the most, and I think it's truly shown off the power of old anime. I miss the old aesthetic. Tbf, apart from Ghibli, I grew up on crunchy anime VHS tapes my dad got me, and most of them were in Spanish (lol) so this is extremely nostalgic to little me.

ANYWAY - Enough tangents - Usagi, adorable. I have a feeling the crying might be a bit annoying, however I can fully relate to every time she cried in the first episode, especially when she got kicked out for having a low grade (╥﹏╥) that truly is the worst... When her crying saved the day though, I just found that funny.

I'm not sure what to think of Naru thus far, but she seems cool. Tough luck her mother turning out to be a super villain though...

I DO NOT LIKE UMINO HE IS A SNITCH AND A RAT AND HE DESERVES TO FAIL AN EXAM!!! But also, bruh wtf why you tell her mother???

Usagi's mother (don't remember her name) is currently my favourite character. She is hilarious and reminds me of my own mother. I cannot wait to see more of her. Also yes, my favourite characters ten to be the moms and the goth mommys. What can I say, I have taste.

Usagi's brother? (Also don't know his name) I have no opinion on. He's a bit annoying.

Masked guy with rose? Idk his deal but I'm not sure I like him. Usagi immediately started falling for him so I don't know if I can like him. I don't usually like love interests.

VILLAIN OF THE WEEK -

loved her! who doesn't love a woman selling jewellery for the sole purpose of stealing the souls of humans to turn them into slaves for an ominous alien cult leader? I would've bought something!

Anyway, yeah that's the end of my review! thank youuuuu

[silvermoon424]

Do you like Western magical girl shows like Winx Club and W.I.T.C.H.? Personally I like both of those shows and I wish the Western world made more magical girl franchises...but that's not gonna happen because of dudebros. But I really, really wish that magical girls were more popular in the Western world too...

I actually have not explored much of the world of Western magical girl shows! I really like the designs and transformation sequences from LoliRock (unfortunate name) though.

I totally agree, I would love to see more magical girls in the West! I will say I don't think it's entirely hopeless; Star vs the Forces of Evil (a show with strong magical girl aesthetics and even directly inspired by Sailor Moon) was a popular show on the Disney Channel recently. Steven Universe is also kinda vaguely magical girlish. Both series were created by women who grew up watching Sailor Moon and other magical girl anime. So who knows, maybe we'll see another Western animated show with a magical girl vibe soon!

Question regarding commissions -

Long time no see Furi, I thought I'd throw a simple question your way regarding commissions. (Amusingly enough it's not about whether they're open or closed)

What I was curious to know about is in regards to style/aesthetics.

Do you happen to do anything in a 80s/90s anime aesthetic? If so, are there any examples to share?

I'm mostly asking for a friend for later down the line. Sorry if the wording might be a little unclear, I wasn't sure how to structure the question anyhow... Regardless, have a fantastic day/wonderful night!

I love trying to do art styles and aesthetics, especially from anime of the 80/90's. I think they tend to be more visually more appealing in terms of colors, and the clothes from the time seem way more fun and distinct. I am not really sure how to explain it more but I just feel like anime from those are more prettier for me in terms of style, but it could be just me cause I was born in 1993 so I got to see alot of both 80 and 90's anime as I grew up lol. I guess for examples of animes from those eras, here's some of my favorites: Vampire Hunter D (I prefer the movie more), Robot Carnival, Sailor Moon, Slayers and a favorite due to how stupid fun it is, Golden Boy

hello there! i'm vamp, and i post pictures of my maximalist room and outfits! i use she/they pronouns and am a queer demigirl from None Of Your Business-ville, USA. i would prefer to remain anonymous so i will be blurring my face in all of my photos. please respect my privacy. this is also not my main account! my main in big-pink-comfy-couch. i’m autistic and have adhd and ptsd. i’m something of an unintentional shut-in on my way to recovery!

i grew up on fashion dolls and related media: barbie, to trollz girlz and bratz movies (mom thought i was too young for the dolls when they were popular lol), to monster high and ever after high. my bio brother's girlfriend got me into my first anime, sailor moon, and j-pop when i was about eight or nine, and my favorite game growing up was style savvy for the DS. my childhood was influenced heavily by hyperfemineity and the power of what we loosely define as "girlhood", as well as alternative subculture. video games, western cartoons, and the older teen and young adult figures in my life at the time were my introduction to goth, emo, scene, and rave culture. over time, my style and way of decorating have grown backwards almost, becoming a mirror of all the things that i admired in the late 2000s to early 2010s.

much of my aesthetic revolves around my love of that nostalgia, and the things that bring me joy. i’d describe myself as “creepy cute”. i live in a pastel goth (or bubblegum goth, as my parents call it) dreamscape. i refuse to be anything but sweetly spooky and uncomfortably femme.

i remember the girls in my books and cartoons and games having the coolest rooms, and the coolest hair, and the coolest clothes, and I always said that one day, i was gonna be just like that. and now i am <3. i fulfilled my dream of dressing like an irl monster high doll lol.

Sailor Moon Blog

Although I didn’t get the opportunity to watch Sailor Moon before, it is definitely something I was aware of as a kid due to its very influential nature. Even as I grew older, I always thought the show had beautiful aesthetics. Personally, I’m a fan of magical girl anime and I love how they all over express femininity in order to reclaim it and empower it. I'm glad I finally got the opportunity to watch it. Sailor Moon deals with themes of “girl power” and gender. 

In Sailor Moon, we follow a schoolgirl called Usagi who gets her powers from a cat called Luna. Using these powers, she fights off villains to protect the universe. Despite having powers and fighting off villains, Usagi remains true to herself and still acts like a normal 14-year-old girl would. She still cries and is sensitive, she's clumsy, and doesn’t do well in school. Overall, I like how this anime still has Usagi act like a normal girl. By having her act normal it helps empower little girls instead of hiding their femininity. Through not hiding her femininity and also making it her strength, it has inspired many little girls who watched it growing up. As a little girl if I watched Sailor Moon, I'd definitely feel empowered. Even though Usagi's has many flaws she still fights evil and remains true to herself. 

Despite the show having some criticisms of Usagi being a stereotype or how it has sexual connotations. I think the show uses stereotypes to not put down women but instead empower them to embrace their femininity. Even though in a western perspective the show can have sexual connotations, I think the show is made for the female audience and to embrace femininity. Overall, I really loved the aesthetics and premise of this anime. 

[anachrosims]

Idk about anyone else, but... I fuckin LOVE Halloween.

I love autumn and autumnal aesthetics. I love the subdued turn the weather takes, the turning of the leaves. I loved, as a kid, being able to indulge--for once--in my nerdy side (I grew up in the 90s). I love bonfires and ghost stories. I love exploring history, mysteries, and the tastefully macabre. I was abused as a child in most ways you can think of, and while for most of my life, horror/weird as a genre was too much for my sensitive self, I've grown to relish dark themes and subjects as a way to safely explore the depths, nooks and crannies of human emotion, and to do so with media means that, in a way, I'm not alone.

As an adult, I love the aesthetics. I love sharing happy fun with neighborhood kids who deserve a holiday they can dress up, be cooky/weird, and safely engage with their community. I also love sharing that with fellow adults, and as I mature, grow older, the more I appreciate allowing adults to have their own chance to unwind, to be fun/kooky/play fancy dress--because that's just what humans of all ages do.

As for costumes: It's not just conservative Christians who make fun of sexy/"sassy" costumes tbh. For decades there have been tons and TONS of skimpy costumes for the weirdest things (sexy hotdog, sexy nun, sexy dollar bill, sexy Mrs. Claus, sexy cat, sexy Patrick Star, etc)--and a lack of sexy/"sassy" costumes for men/masc folk. It's not slut-shaming to point out how ridiculous that aspect of culture actually is.

To your allusions to Christians: You're not wrong! Nonetheless, Halloween as we know it is a fairly young holiday. Like Christmas, it got heavily commercialized in the 20th century. Prior to that, it was a feastday with folk traditions around the turning of the seasons, as well as the Gaelic origins of Samhain. Yes, also like Christmas, it's been heavily commercialized, but there are still cultural origins for painting and carving gourds, setting out lanterns, the wearing of masks and the sharing of food with your fellows, bringing light and generosity to the dying world in observance of those who have died, and to appreciate what still lives. If anything, we ought to blame secular corporate culture for driving the community and time of solemnity and remembrance out of the occasion.

I totally understand what you're feeling, having done my time in retail. It was Christmas that I started hating, because at least Halloween didn't come with the rampant, saccharine hypocrisy of "togetherness" while I had to endure two months of shrieking, entitled, bitter, cruel customers. I also grew up poor, so, after all that, i'm a bit of a Grinch in adulthood; the grotesque consumerism and obnoxious adherents is even harder to stomach while global suffering, climate change, and the rise of fascism are all bearing down on us. i also have my birthday on Dec 20th, and have always had the most lonely birthdays; always felt like I was "competing" with Christmas. Shit sucked.

If there's anything I'd like to impart to you though, it's this: I still like the spirit of Christmas, the spirit of Halloween. Beyond the consumerism, they still have value. Like any commodified thing in our fucked up world, the only thing that truly matters is what YOU make of it. I try to make major holidays "excuses" to celebrate good company, and at the end of the day, that's all any of us really can do.

To finish off... My Grams made me costumes by hand when I was little. Snow White. Esmerelda. Sailor Moon, Sailor Saturn. She passed in 2022 at 94.. and I miss her so, so much. She was more of a mother to me than my own mom ever was. Those were some of the happiest times of my otherwise shitty childhood, because she was the one unselfish person in my life who loved me and what I cared about unconditionally, and with gusto. Now, I don't say all that to guilt you, or make you feel bad. I'm glad you vented with us. I only brought up that story because... at least for me, holidays are the best excuse humans have to stop what we're doing, come together, put on fun clothes, and share stories and a good meal.

You don't have to like Halloween. There's a lot to be said about how materialistic, insensitive, and shitty people are. You're also going to find those people in every facet of life, whereas, holidays only come once a year. It's best to try and make the most of them in whatever way fulfills you the most.

I'm not sure I like this weird attitude people have formed around Halloween. The way people celebrate it is like how Christian Conservatives treat Christmas, just without the religious extremism.

It's all just hyper-consumerism and a childish disdain for people who don't celebrate or aren't celebrating the "right" way. What's up with people setting up elaborately horrific decorations full of gore months in advance? And then getting mad when the scary gore-y decorations . . . actually scare people and they get asked to take them down.

People complaining because costumes aren't scary/creative enough.

People Christians getting upset at sexy nun costumes or pearl-clutching about risque Halloween costumes. And on the other side of that coin are people complaining about not being able to wear racially insensitive costumes.

In fact, costumes in general: people running out to buy a cheap, overpriced mess of polyester that they will only wear once. It's just overconsumption galore, I saw Halloween-themed decorations in August.

Why is everything about this annual event for literal children so annoying now?

[timemachineyeah]

This is how it sneaks up on you. I’m looking for a new phone case.

I keep finding myself holding my phone in ways that make my fingers hurt, so I looked into getting a strap or something for my phone. But the problem is whenever I pictured them on my phone it made me sad because it felt kind of ugly with my case.

And I realized if I’m going to keep not buying a strap because of aesthetics with the current case that it might be better to just get a new case with some kind of strap or finger support already there, so I can address the aesthetic and finger support simultaneously.

And since the whole reason I didn’t just get a loop or something is because it wouldn’t be cute, I might as well get something really cute.

I don’t usually care so much, but when it’s something you look at and interact with every day, you want it to make you smile, or at least not be disappointing.

So I’m shopping around for phone cases. My current case is classy because when I got it I had a weird bug in my ass about looking adult for once. But now I know better and I want something nerdy. Most of what I can find on Etsy that fits my criteria are bootlegs, which I don’t rule out, but I’d rather give my money to more legit independent fan operations. Especially without the presumed art theft.

So I find myself typing in terms. Sailor Moon phone case. Mermaid phone case. Steven Universe phone case. UFO phone case. Beauty and the Beast phone case. Fraggle Rock phone case. Octopus phone case.

What else? What else makes me happy? What do I like that I assume enough other people like that it’s reasonable to hope some genuine indie maker has hand-made something cute for it?

Harry Potter

The answer is there but it’s not true any more. But it’s still there. Like a habitual prayer. Recited so often your brain does it without you, a song stuck in your head. It used to be my favorite song. For a while.

And it’s not like the other things that stopped being fun. Sure, some seasons of Doctor Who disappointed, but I can go back to the ones I like. And that was the show itself that let me down. Sure, people were behind it, but it was the story that wasn’t fun anymore.

Harry Potter finished its story and it was fun from the first book to the last. Sure JKR could retcon and expand and sequel to her hearts content but that didn’t touch the story that had been told, the books that had been published. It was done. She couldn’t take it away.

But she could. And she did. In the worst way possible.

Can you have a parasocial relationship with a franchise?

They are far from perfect books. Even before the controversies spread, the varnish had started to wear off. What am I supposed to do? Tell eleven year old me (hiding in a closet to avoid chores and read the day after Christmas) that she has bad taste? Tell closeted repressed teen queer me who spent hours theorizing with her outcasted queer friends that they couldn’t do that any more? What’s done is done. If Harry Potter had never existed, maybe I would have hauled myself out of Tartarus by other means. Maybe it wasn’t the book, but me. Or maybe in another universe I am far worse off. It doesn’t matter. I’ll never know. While I cannot know what would happen in another timeline, I cannot deny in this one that the formative impact of Harry Potter was an unquestionable good for my life. It was a source of comfort, courage, and community that I had no replacement for.

And I hate that. Because she fed off of it. She took that joy and that enthusiasm and that earnest love and she turned it into power and influence and once she’d stolen all that power and influence she turned it around and abused my people, the community that made me whole. She exploited the excitement and wonder of children to amass power to hate and oppress those same children as they grew up and more children besides.

I think about them. If I’m buying from a maker and not her, then she doesn’t get my money. Does that really hurt?

The question is moot. Putting aside how others might feel in the presence of such an artifact, I would not feel joy. I could get a hand made trans positive Harry Potter case, but whenever I saw it I’d just be thinking about all this again. It’d make me sad. And that is the point, isn’t it? To get a phone case that makes me happy, makes me smile. So it can’t be Harry Potter anyway. Not for me.

I am not wanting for small joys. If it is for want of a themed phone case or fantasy novel, the hole left by her betrayal of the trans community is easily filled. There are, indeed, other books.

But when I think of other lost passions, they do not sting the same way. With them, we grew apart. That happens. Sometimes you grow and your old shoes don’t fit any more. Sometimes they change the recipe of your favorite snack. That’s not a betrayal in the same way.

If tomorrow the creators of any other thing I ever stopped loving came out and said, “Wow, I did a bad job, and I am aware of that, and I’m sorry” it wouldn’t fix the source material. That’s what hurts. They are flawed books, but if tomorrow she sent out a press release going “Wow, I got radicalized like an asshole I’m sorry. That was incredibly transphobic. And I have also been tone deaf to downright colonialist on these many other issues. Here’s major donations to all these relevant nonprofits and an action plan to start repairing the damage” I don’t know if I would forgive her? But I know I would want to. And in either case I know I would finally feel like I might be able to enjoy a reread of the books that meant so much to me.

[dantedeservedbetter]

Hey do you have any headcanons for the shadowknights (Mystreet)? Btw more importantly you seem really cool? Which is surprising considering the whole Aphmau thing (I say as if I don’t literally have a sideblog for aphmau stuff too) but yeah, good on you you’re pretty damn funny too

(I’m gonna be really honest, the Tumblr blog that I’ve dedicated towards a bad Minecraft series that I watched in middle school might just be one of my biggest and weirdest secrets. I have no idea what I’ll do if anyone I know irl actually finds this blog on my phone. Ty for thinking that though! It makes me feel good whenever people are actually interested in whatever nonsense I put on here :,0)

ShadowKnight Headcanons!! (Gene, Sasha and Zenix)

• Gene and his mother took Mother+Son dance lessons in high school, so he ends up becoming insanely flexible as he continued dancing in his own free time after college

• Sasha is the only one with a decent memory between the three of them. Without her Zenix and Gene would probably forget their own heads

• Zenix is Hispanic. And despite how much he speaks it, English is his second language.

• For the longest time, Gene didn’t realize how lucky he was to have Dante as a brother, so he simply refused to interact with him. Dante hardly remembers those moment in his life, but Gene does; and he regrets it all these years later

• Sasha is Wiccan, and she absolutely loves her crystals. Zenix will find (often fake) crystals at the store and buys them just for her. She knows damn well they aren’t useful in her daily life, but of course she shows off every crystal he buys her. They’re often her most favorite regardless.

• Zenix has a huge love for breakfast food but specifically waffles. He has several waffle makers in different shapes such as a bat, christmas tree, a cute ghost, and an old one from when he was younger of Lightning McQueen.

• Gene paints his nails, they all do it from time to time but he’s the only one who does it on a regular basis

• Sasha knows how to sew very well! She joined a sewing club as a joke in HS but grew to actually enjoy the hobby overtime

• Zenix is a dog person, he will sometimes take home any lost street dogs and takes care of them until he calls the owner or makes sure there’s a good shelter they can go to

• The three of them invented aesthetic picnics, over the years of their friendship they take the time to go out onto a nice field and take in the sun for a while

• Gene’s style was inspired after he watched the Diary of A Wimpy Kid movies with Dante when they were younger

• Sasha loves the color purple because of Sailor Saturn from Sailor Moon. She watched it when she was younger and decided that she wanted to be a magical girl one day. (That was before she grew up and realized things like that don’t really exist)

• Zenix saw The Outsiders with his parents once and immediately bought a second-hand book of it. He then went on to watch The Karate Kid and made that his personality for a couple years

• Gene had a quick Harry Potter phase but that was only because he read “My Immortal”, saw how people were comparing it to the real material and decided to see what the books were actually like

• Sasha is now into super gory/horrifying/tragic anime’s now. She’s even gone far as to actually purchase some of the manga behind her favorite anime.

• Zenix has tried to give himself a mullet a couple times but every time he does it or goes to a barber, it never comes out the way he wants it

• They all use some form of ‘_/they’ pronouns

(Oops this was shorter than I thought it would be asdfghjk, if I come up with more of these I’ll reblog and make a pt.2! I hope you enjoyed these!!)

[ravenadottir]

HEY!! i just wanna start by saying i love love LOVE ur stuff and I've read too much to calculate three hundred times and everything u write is so cool woohoo

and speaking of my boy Carl! i downloaded matchmaker recently, and after hours of cheating at candy crush, i found that apparently one of Carl's interests is anime??

i rly don't see him watching anything other than like, death note and spirited away, but i rly wanted to see what u think abt it!

thank you so much, it means a lot to know people like carl's story 🥺💙😭

sooooooo... i'm absolutely the wrong person to ask this, 'cause i don't watch anime so my answer will be lacking.

from the ones i've seen, i agree with you about 'death note' because it has such a dark storyline, i think carl digs that a lot.

'attack on titan' is in his list for the same reason. it's almost cathartic to him i would say. don't know where he stands with this tik tok trend though lol

i haven't seen 'spirited away' yet, so i don't know what's about and can't really agree or disagree (i want to stay away from the premise 'cause i like the mystery), so let me comment on the ones i think he might dig besides those:

he read 'demon slayer' mangas and is enjoying the anime now. the humor, sometimes acid sometimes goofy, can really represent his own jokes fairly, 'cause most of them are double meaning and whenever he catches one he's like "😝 haha i get it".

also, he might really like nezuko because of the duality she's trapped in. being a demon is not easy, especially if you're travelling in a box.

anime probably happened really early on, so 'sailor moon', 'dragonball' and 'saint seiya' ('knights of the zodiac') might've been part of his initiation. playing around while pretending to be one of them is probably the thing he did the most, especially because i think he had a lonely childhood. i definitely seem him playing as ami mizuno (sailor mercury) and the little dude in red (i think he's pegasus seiya?), because of the aesthetic they have in common.

and i don't think carl cared about being a female character at all. they have a lot in common and that's what matters to him.

"fullmetal alchemist" is one of those pieces of media that truly mature a child quickly, since a vital part of the story was really shocking (you know the one). now it feels nostalgic to go back and watch it, and cry over that part. given he was 10 when it was first published i reckon he grew up wth it, but it's so mature i think he watches it to this day.

he might've let animes like 'sakura' or 'naruto' slip because of the themes. carl strikes me as the type of kid who was born with an old soul, so naruto repeating himself for the 50th time in the same episode could've been jarring, despite having some other amazing characters like kakashi, gaara (the love of my life) and even sasuke.

i also headcanon carl being very passionate about sakura being wasted away in stupidity for so long. SHE WAS WASTED, OK? she was so fucking capable but somehow would turn into an idiot all the time, i hated that!

now, about pokemon. i feel like every kid had their phase, and sometimes pokemon doesn't even feel like anime because it's not as underground as others can be.

still, i can see little carl with a cap on his bowl cut and fingerless gloves while playing with stuffed toys, and later on gameboy.

it's possible he still plays it from time to time, including the TCG format and pokemon go. no one can change my mind he geeks out about legendary pokemon he has in his backpack in the app.

plus, i risk to say his favorite of all time is arceus or xerneas, and his initial was squirtle.

and i think that's all i can contribute! i haven't even scratched the surface with these suggestions, but i would like to hear your thoughts and anyone else's who digs anime and manga. i have probably seen less than 1% of what's out there, so i would love to hear from more people!

[lalekaplanbrody]

"The aesthetic is gouache." She replied quietly, playfully. Her mother would have never let something like that fly. Once when Lale was a young girl, she wanted to decorate her room in a Sailor Moon theme with bright pink and blues, and the idea alone was enough to send her mother into a tizzy. She had to go to bed early to sleep off the headache the request brought. For the most part, Azra was a good mom. At least before she abandoned them, but at her core, she was still a wealthy woman with impeccable but limited taste.

"We'll just keep his door shut," Lale whispered, mostly teasing. She happily existed in a moment so serene that she was afraid to sigh too loud or move too quickly. She wanted to hold onto it for as long as possible. Besides, Berkan was a good boy and deserved to make his room feel like it was his, even if it had belonged once to someone else, even if his design choices were super on the nose. "The time on the turf was pretty nice." She admitted quietly. Lale had missed it for the simpler time it was. Before her womb grew and the varsity sweaters stretched and no longer fit her making it impossible to hide the truth and ending with her having to give up her last year. Thinking of her son now, she knew it was worth it because he was the best thing she'd ever had a hand in creating.

Lale softened, her gaze on his face while he shared something that felt so intimate she wanted to pause and spend hours finding the perfect words to encourage more and more of him. Fourteen years and Lale felt like there was still so much to discover about Ben. She longed to know him as fervently as she longed to bury herself. "He's the best parts of you." Lale settled on truthfully. "He's a good boy. I'm afraid he's going to do something. Eventually, we don't love. I hope he comes to us. No matter what, I'll know we've done a good job if he comes to us."

Lale hadn't had a parent to turn to when the test held two pink lines. Just an aunt who she hid it from until she'd grown too big for her not to notice. Even then, Lale couldn't find it in her to care when Miray expressed disappointment in her. None of it had mattered until she claimed her father would be ashamed. Those strung-together words were enough to snap the self-restraint Lale had curated and held onto for dear life. The ensuing fight between Miray and Lale had been so cruel and damaging she'd never spoken of it. Not even when she went to Ben, her face sticky with tears and her fingers curled into fists. Lale drew a slow and deep breath, holding it inside her as she thought over his question, his words. They filled her with more hope than she could verbalize. Their hold on her, how they wrapped her up and flooded her with warmth, made Lale feel impossibly vulnerable, reminding her of how much she loved Ben. When it was good, she sighed quietly and exhaled, "My father's garden." Lale didn't often speak of the man who their son had been named. It was too difficult. So much of her home had been altered by her aunt, but his garden was overgrown and desolate. "It needs some care, but I think it could thrive again." Lale smiled now, "We could grow flowers and herbs, some vegetables." Her eyes briefly moved towards the sunroom. "There are fruit trees, one for me and one for my sister. We should plant one for Berkan. What do you think?" Her blue hues landed back on him with loving ease- they were real. They were here. The comfort they could sometimes exist so effortlessly was enough to make her chest flutter with all her unsettled hope that she kept to herself. All her desires and best-kept secrets fluttered and made her head dizzy with love, love, love. It was so easy to forget when he had broken her heart. Effortless to slide into how Lale felt things were always supposed to be if he'd never gotten injured or had an affair. They were always meant to be this way, her naive hope promised, and Lale nodded quietly, "I love you." It was all Lale could manage because right now, she did, and it felt like one of the only true things she was sure of. For now, it was everything she could ever have wanted. For now, she felt his love and was content, happy, and hopeful. There it was, the hope for the future. Naively, Lale let it sweep her away. His words caressed her lips, and she punctuated them with a kiss, her fingers snaking under his shirt to dance along the curve of his side. "Now?" She asked, a low whisper between kisses muffled between their lips. Maybe her mind was clouded with more than wanting to grow their family. Warm, hazy desire rushed through her, and Lale couldn't think of anything she'd rather be doing than pressing her lithe body against the contours of her husband's body. She almost wanted to ask nicely, but instead, she kissed again along his jaw towards his ear, where she whispered, "I want you."

Though their mood was tame and they were sitting close together, her dramatic reaction when he divulged more details about the chair set he'd seen made him laugh. He kept it a chuckle, not wanting to pierce through their moment with anything too big. "Oh, come on. We both spent enough of our time on turf that we know it's not that bad. Just a little pad of it in his room for the aesthetic?"

He was absolutely teasing. But now he was committed to the bit and, as strange as it felt to be himself who barely smiled also and be lighthearted, it felt nice, too. He stole another sip of wine to keep it going and then replaced his glass on the table behind the couch.

He offered a shrug. "I don't know. That's still a while away. And I think the dorms for the sports scholarships are pretty small. He might not have room for anything like that." He wasn't sure which was more normal -- her quiet, intensifying voice when she spoke of it, or his casual shrug. He wasn't really into worrying about something that wouldn't happen for five more years. The present offered just as many options for anxiety. "I worry more about him being like me now than I worry about what he'll do when he goes to college." After all, he'd been Berkan's age when he tried marijuana for the first time. And only slightly older the first time he'd gotten head. He could only hope, by taking a more active interest even when Bear resisted, he could help the kid stay a kid a bit longer.

He was a little surprised the way the explanations poured out of her from his simple, two-word question. It wasn't a bad surprise, though, flooding him with warmth that had to have been aided a little by the wine unraveling his thoughts and keeping them from twisting too tightly around her words. "Do you think there are things you want to keep the same? Like for comfort? Or do you want to change everything?" He bit his lip. "We're not the same as we left us here. So we can do whatever we want. We're not young or scared or... depending on my dad for money. I'll do whatever you want here," he promised. And he was usually short on those, but he couldn't stop that one from slipping out.

It could all change with the sun in the morning, but tonight, honestly, all he wanted was to make her happy. And maybe to also make himself happy, too.

He was almost sure he could manage both at the same time.

"We are real. Kinda messy sometimes." His eyes darted around and, yes, they had just unpacked in the barest of sense, but that wasn't the only thing he meant. "But we're here."

It was harder to let his eyes or thoughts wander when she was pressed up against him saying things that maybe weren't everything he'd ever wanted, but didn't feel wrong to hear, either. The tension inside him when he thought of him and father as the same, even though he had some confidence, abated when she talked about actually trying to make a baby. She did know the way to his heart. (It wasn't through his stomach.) He breathed a wisp of laugher as she twisted and, with a glance, he could meet her eyes for a minute. The dim light cast from the lamp across the room made her glowy and gorgeous and absolutely sincere. God, he could absolutely remember what it felt like when he was in love with her; it was still so close he could practically taste it. And all the reasons he had been were still the same. He could feel her kisses to his jawline all the way to his toes, but he didn't want to move or close his eyes, taking it all in until she was finished talking.

"Let's do it," he agreed, his voice no more than a whisper and, with the angle his head was at, the words breathed into her mouth. And he meant it, unreservedly, in both the ways she could take it.

[rosetinted-selfshipping]

I had the idea to start a Selfshipping side blog for awhile since 1 my main Account is kinda hideous and I just wanted a new slate especially now that I understand tumblr more 2 cause I really like the self shipping community! And I used to write fanfic

My pronouns are She/her

That being said I stopped writing fanfic for a reason, it made me KINDA anxious the pressure of doing requests got to me but I think I could do an imagine every once in awhile if nothing else and if you want you can request an imagine or prompt from me I’d just ask you maybe don’t expect much but it would still be appreciated of course!

As for me personally I’m a minor so no, No, NO NSFW. I had a pretty YIKES experience on Instagram once upon a time and I do not want a repeat of that. But you can call me Rosie or Rin (my self insert’s name) also do let me know if you want me to talk about my Ocs! I have quite a lot. Idk if I wanna add another section to this blog (since I’m just starting out) but let me know if you’d be interested!

For my rules/DNI just don’t be Racist or a Pedophile or homophobic or transphobic or request or say anything of that nature on this blog. And I think that’s all I should really have to say on that matter

Also feel free to have an Anon name if you want!

Little note before I list these things. I have the attention span of a goldfish, a goldfish easily distracted by any pretty anime character that has a good amount of fanfics and by the color pink.

Top 5 Magical Girls?

This is the best question ever its also so difficult...

Ok so

5 - I really love the themes of hope and sacrifice in Madoka, but I dont really care about the series before episodes 10-11 so it has to be the fifth. That said, I love those episodes to death and I often rewatch them because they get to me so much. I'll never forget Madoka saving all magical girls because she wanted to reward them for having hopes and dreams and didnt want them to die alone and in pain. 10/10

4 - Sakura Kinomoto because she's sweet and I enjoy the manga enough, so she's here. The story has some really nice moments, specially with the cards, and I like that she generally gets rewarded for being kind and sweet. Plus it's such a classic!

3- No one knows this one but Turma da Mônica Geração 12 exists and I love her very much for it. It's a brazillian magical girl story and it's so cute. I've drawn her before because she's really awesome.

2- Precure Healin' Good protagonist, Nodoka!! I haven't finished this one yet but its such a good magical girl anime. I love the protagonist so bad, I love how brave she is, I love how she kicks ass, I love how shes so determined to live a fulfiling life and I felt so happy watching every episode. I don't know much about the brand but this precure is special to me.

1- CHOCOLA KATOU!!! From Sugar Sugar Rune!!!! This was probably my first magical girl manga ever and I love it so much. I love the aesthetic, I love how girly and magical and witchy it is. I love the central friendship of the two girls, I love the fashion, I love the school setting. I love the wands, I love everything. I cant judge this neutrally at all, I grew up with this I cannot not give it first place. Chocola is the best, sorry.

Honorable mention: I respect Sailor Moons aesthetic and place in the genre so so bad, but I dont like the story and characters very much. Still worth mentioning, kudos to it.
