#nev you asked for this

[ladyloveandjustice]

I heard that the 90s version of sailor moon made the villains more sympathetic do you think it was a benefit and if so which villain would you say benefits for being more sympathetic

The minibosses definitely benefit from this the most, the first one that jumped to mind was the Ayakashi sisters. They exist to kidnap the girls and be killed off in the manga, but in the 90's anime they have their own arc where the girls help them find redemption and fix their bond as sisters. It really both highlighted how compassionate the Senshi are and some nice solidarity between women. Lead Crow and Aluminum Seiren are my absolute favorite examples of minbosses who are way more sympathetic and don't exist just to kill some Senshi and then be killed. In the anime, they're hilarous, definitely in love with each other, and parallel Usagi and Rei's relationship really strongly. I'm actually still pretty pissed they gave Lead Crow the only death where she couldn't concievably be revived when Galaxia gave back the Star Seeds. In my mind she's okay though. somehow. Iron Mouse was also fantastic, not like, MUCH more sympathetic than her manga counterpart, though you definitely feel her fear of Galaxia a lot more, but soooo funny.

(And of course, there's Kunzite and Zoisite, icons. I guess you could argue the manga was equally-possibly-more sympathetic to them though, since it actually let them be unbrainwashed and redeemed, but the anime def gave them infinitely more characterization and made the relationship very tragic)

I'd say largely being sympathetic did work for the villains, yeah. It meant they were fleshed out a lot more. There were some that didn't work for me, giving Dimande a tragically redemptive death after repeated attempts at sexually assaulting a teenager was like. what. good. die. i don't feel bad. And Nephrite's whole plot was...eh.

I also kind of like the idea of Tomoe just being a horrible father who stopped caring after the death of his wife like in the manga, rather than possessed. His "villain" self isn't actually given much sympathy in the 90s anime, as they just decide the actual quirky villain was the thing possessing him and they were definitely not sympathetic to that. But Tomoe being a bad dad makes Hotaru being raised by the outers meaningful, rather than like, kidnapping.

For the "main" villains, they tend to be equivalently sympathetic in the manga, which is to say, not very much- except for Nehelenia, deffo more sympathetic in the anime thanks to the little season five arc and I liked it quite a bit. Galaxia is arguably more sympathetic in the 90's anime, but the manga showed her a decent amount of sympathy and didn't handwave her actions as "oh bad chaos magic made her do it".

I think Naoko likely had a set quota of villains she needed to create for the anime, or just an order to create "a lot", in twelve chapters, which is why many of them just show up to die. The anime has a lot more time to explore them, and sometimes clearly picks favorites. So it isn't really her fault, but largely I think the anime's version of the villains, and the focus on redemption, was better.

For the ask game: 4, 5, 12, 23 <3 :)

thank you for asking, nev 🥺💖💖

4. What are some words or phrases you feel like you overuse?

well. whenever i write a fic. i have to ctrl+f search "little" and replace or remove at least half of them. so that answers that question lol

5. What’s something you learned while researching a fic?

i'm ngl the second you asked me this everything i've ever learned in my life flew out of my head. um,,, hm,,, i guess i've learned that there are. so many sports on wookiepedia. there are so many. idk if i can really consider it "research" because it was for a throwaway line in a fic but like. jesus christ there are so many sports. why are there so many?

12. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

on ao3, bnha. first ever? ranger's apprentice series. i was 12 and i wrote a whole bunch in a notebook that i destroyed when i was 16 bc i was embarrassed XD i wish i still had it now

23. What’s a story you’d love to write but haven’t even started yet?

there are too many lmfao. the eighthcest mouth soaping fic, my bunnywan/podracer anakin obikin au, i want to write a luke pov sequel to my vaderwan timeloop fic in which luke has a terrible time learning that 1) old ben is alive (yay) 2) vader is alive and with old ben (...?) 3) vader is luke's dad? (???) 4) he is fucking old ben (???????) 5) leia is his sister (after the lukeleia kiss already happened because naturally <3) and 6) vader wants to help take down the emperor (yay??????)

as always though, my brain is chaotic and full of holes, so if/when certain fics are made is unfortunately not up to me very much lol.

[ikemengoessbrrrrr]

TMNT AU Question:

Your take on Miyamoto Usagi?

I do have sketch of him!

CV'Usagi is a genius technologist, he also always travel everywhere.

Like every Usagi, he is also a ronin (modern ronin) and sometimes help people to fix their stuff if they pay him sgsgsg. It's not always money to pay him tho.

Honestly Idk his role in CV yet, but he does exist

29. Favorite line/passage you wrote this year?

i should not be showing you this (yet) but XD you won't tell anyone will you? it's this:

“I will not allow you to wash your hands of me, Obi-Wan. I will haunt you for the rest of your life and mine.”

Obi-Wan’s body stilled utterly, stained with red and dark grime from wherever he’d been before dropping himself practically in Vader’s lap. There was something new on Obi-Wan’s face, in between the worn lines and the crusted tear tracks—acceptance. His eyes, those eyes destroyed and bloodshot with pain, drilled into Vader’s very soul.

“Haunt me, then. Haunt me only, and not the entire galaxy.”

Hai There! Hope you’re having a great day and sending Lots of Love!! 💕

I’m curious, how did learn about UY? I know you started the series with the remake, but how did you learn about it and what got you interested?

Hope you’ll reply X3

Heya! And thank you❤️

Ok so, you're right that I started with remake first! And honestly how did I learn about UY in the first place is kinda all over the place(?) Sgsgshsh

I have known about our iconic character, Lum, for a long time. I just see her randomly and well I don't remember if I learn her name back then? Anyway, I never watched UY in my childhood. Only watched another Rumiko's popular series like Inuyasha and Ranma. And now back in highschool I see then randomly in YouTube clips, google, twitter, and tumblr ... And doesn't really catch my attention because I just scroll past them lmao (gotta slap my old self).

And then what really got me into UY, the first thing that make me goes: "I think I should check it out!"

^ This.

The OP for remake just pop out randomly on my youtube timeline and I was casually clicked it yep. BOOM! GET THROWN TO WINDOW! HIT BY A TRAIN!

Tbh for comparison, I like second OP better BUT the first OP taking special place in my heart because this is first time made me notice UY

At this time I only 'noticed' it, I stared to get interested after more hearing the song and checked the trailer. I tried to watched the episodes (which at that time only has 2 episodes) and they pulled me into the rabbit hole, can't get out.

Then I checked the post I ignored, on Twitter, youtube, and most importantly here. LIKE- WDYM I JUST NOW INTERESTED AFSFSGS

I love Urusei Yatsura

I already read the manga and now just watch the original UY while waiting for second season for remake
