a year and a day

since I last updated my fic. not abandoned! but I am a slow writer, and life happens. in the meantime, I don't think I ever shared this amazing fanart on tumblr:

A commish by Supreme Moon Senshi on insta! If you've seen gorgeous aqua colored fanart of Sailor Earth that looks like it could be official 90s art, than you've seen his work. :)

I've been watching Revolutionary Girl Utena for the first time (up through episode 14 currently), when this forbidden idea occurred to me. I'm sorry XD

You can't like a shipping and you don't need a comprehensible reason. It's enough if you prefer another shipping with one of the characters. Everything fine and dendy. But I'm not a fan of bogus arguments being sought to badmouth a shipping. And with that, I'm addressing the bogus argument that people use to belittle NephNaru. Nephrite would be much older than Naru, Naru is still a minor at 14 years old. Shipping would be pedophile. Teach me otherwise. But as far as I know, Nephrite's age is unknown. But I guess he's 16 years old. Why do I think that? Because Naru is 14 years old, same as Usagi and her friends. It's clear. They're in the same class. Sailor Moon is the same age as her Senshis. So I'm assuming the Shittenou must be Mamoru's age, also 16 years old. This means that Nephrite would be of legal age, in contrast to Naru, but at most two years older. Nevertheless, that Shipping then has nothing to do with pedophilia. And if NephNaru is still criticizable, then every other shipping in Sailor Moon is also criticizable. Starting with Mamoru x Usagi, Seiya x Usagi, Shittenou x Senshi (specifically Nephrite x Makoto) and finally Helios x Chibiusa. Even the incestinous sibling relationship between Ail and Ann seems fine. But NephNaru. Oh my gosh. That's pedophilia. lol I just want to throw my hands over my head.

If you're bothered by relationships between minors and adults, please don't watch Sailor Moon. Above all. They don't go to bed together. The relationship is only illegal if they sleep together. Otherwise, everyone can love whoever they want. Please stop sexualizing any relationship. Thanks. -------------------- On the picture is a reedited screenshot from Sailor Moon Crystal, showing Naru und Neflite together.

is your book skelig by david almond??

No but I did find what it was from. Its from the English translation of the Sailor Moon novels Sailor Moon : Diamond's Not Forever. Its just that the names were changed for the localization and I remembered Sailor Mercury because she was on the cover. I'll probably read that one so thank you for the new book recommendation

SPEED GRAPHER Before... SPEED GRAPHER?

The episode of Sailor Moon (1992) I am watching contains a photographer working for Nephlite. The moment he took a photo, he fired a laser that sent Molly and Miss Haruna into another dimension. Kinda reminds me of a mix of The Spot from Spider-Man and Tatsumi Saiga from Speed Grapher. If only there were cameras that triggered explosion on objects captured by the lens...

[sailormoonblogs]

Hey everyone!! I’m thinking about making another blog for, “Howl’s Moving Castle”. Its a beautiful movie, and one of my favourites. Also, It would be great if you guys could let me know in the comments what you think :)

[emmacrb]

So when I was rewatching Sailor Moon 1st season & R on YouTube, I began watching Sailor Moon S- I didn’t get past the 1st episode last time, but now episodes haven’t been uploaded in over a week (some of them got blocked) so probably won’t be finishing so thought I would do this pairing/”shipping” list now.

Pairings I like aka “ships”:

Molly x Nephlite/Nephrite 

Amy/Sailor Mercury x Greg

Sammy x Mika

Rei/Sailor Mars x Chad

Serena/Usagi/Sailor Moon x Darien/Tuxedo Mask 

Ann x Alan

Zoisite x Malachite/Kunzite

Sailor Uranus x Sailor Neptune (when they’re portrayed as lovers instead of cousins lol)

Molly x Melvin I guess lol

Rei/Sailor Mars x Darien I guess

Rei/Sailor Mars x Serena/Usagi/Sailor Moon? 

Luna x Artemis 

Luna x Hercules/Rhett Butler

I have some Thoughts abt age differences in Sailor Moon.

(For reference, I am referring to the DiC dub version that everyone else hates with a passion, and will be using those names. If you have a problem with Serena vs Usagi, just....have those problems somewhere else. 😘)

So Serena is canonically 14. Amy is presumably also about 14, since she's in the same grade as Serena, along with Molly (who is one of the main points of this post).

Rei is older, but still in high school; I'd put her at 16 or so, but going to a different school than the others. Every bit of Rei's furious annoyance with Serena can be explained by Local Gay Sixteen Year Old Forced To Put Up With Fourteen Year Old Crybaby. Rei also has Actual Responsibilities; she helps her grandpa at the temple and helps keep her grandpa from,,, idk, being old and alone or whatever.

And Then We Have The Boys.

Andrew, at the arcade, is definitely An Adult; he's saving for med school, and we later learn he's already in university.

We learn that because that's when we learn how old Darien is, which was a big point of confusion and curiosity for me. He's also Definitely An Adult; I'd had him pegged as early 20s or so, but there's an argument to be made for like....An old, independent 18-19. If you squint. However, I still say adult-adult, because when he makes Serena cry in public (for the zillionth time), everyone stares at him and he's like Oh Shit Please Stop Crying, as an adult would do if they made the 14 yr old they regularly bully have a meltdown on the city street.

And then we have.......Nephlite.

So Nephlite is not only an Adult, but he's an Adult-Adult. Like, to put him at human years, I'd say 40 or so. He's also a Demon From The Negaverse.

Molly, age 14, develops a big ol crush on the 40 yr old Demon from the Negaverse. Because of course she does. This is where things get complicated, because...on the one hand, the show without a doubt condemns these feelings and any """relationship""" that would come from this. Molly puts herself in danger and endangers others to try and "help" "Maxfield Stanton" or whatever his fake human name was.

I was of the mind that this is actually a good message; it lets the Demon From The Negaverse thing be the text, while the 40 Year Old Man thing be subtextual, and hopefully sort of included so that when the 14 year olds watching the show meet a 40 year old man who shows undue interest in them, they can go, wow, I bet you're a Demon From The Negaverse and get the fuck away from them.

But. But. But.

Nephlite gets redeemed. Sorta. Molly's love awakens something in Nephlite, something like humanity. Or something. He cares for Molly. He saves her life.

So. Um. Is the message that the 40 Year Old Creeper can maybe be a good-ish guy after all? Because that's,,,,, not great. Molly gets traumatized and he disappears into pink sparkly dust in her arms. Sailor Moon says that they're "in love" and that's why the Negaverse is against it.

Guys. Ladies. Friends. He is a 40 year old demon. She is 14. I feel like they came close to having a great message, but then kinda. tripped on the finish line. AND they tripped on the line of trying to give texture and character to the concept of Evil. It could've been really interesting, but it came at the cost of the better, more important message of Fourteen Year Olds, Don't Date 40 Year Olds.

k, so after seeing a post this came up in my head

XD

the original post is here:)

[mina-martin]

I lied

I’m a lying liar who lies

... I need to put a whole ‘nother chapter together BEFORE I post the chapter that’s pretty much done. Pacing and plotting require it.

hahahahaha

[arikitari-josei-osaka-naru]

For @smlgbtqweek 2024, theme: "Twist", as in, the feelings between characters are a twisted web XD (I kinda just draw things and then fit them into themes afterwards, okay)

I got the impulse to try a less conventional pairing than my usual, since I usually draw a ton of NephNaru (with my silly transgirl HC Naru) and their little V-polycule with Umino. For MLM usually KunZoi is the more logical choice, and I've drawn them on a previous year's event (and would like to revisit them in the future more too), but the much rarer, less canonical NephJade has low-key intrigued me for a long time and I decided to give it a shot, since this pairing almost never gets any food. I hope somebody somewhere is rooting for them! Then, the reactions from the peanut gallery on the right crossed my mind, and I decided to roll with it for fun. I'm a big proship multishipper and love to see lots of different takes, and am not against any given pairing of the characters in this image. If anything, I tend to like the idea of a big convoluted polyamorous web of all the things XD

Your hair is distracting

“But there’s nothing left for me now.“

At first this made me really sad. But then it made me really angry.

Look, despite everything that went down, Nephlite still manipulated her. He still did everything in his power to convince her that they had something special going on. Why? So that she would follow his orders and help him wipe out her whole species. Yeah. Let’s not forget that was the endgame here.

Sure, he tried to turn it around in the end, but she’s still damaged and still left feeling like she lost her One True Love and has nothing else to look forward to in life, because he was it.

I get that he himself was somewhat brainwashed, and it was Very Tragic and all that good stuff but I can’t look over the fact that Molly has been moderately abused and lured into hero worship and it’s going to take a long time to untangle the ideas he put into her head.
