Mamoru is NOT useless in the Anime

Yes, yes, the memes are funny and all, but this is simply objectively not true and I'm rather exhausted of folks critiquing the character/the anime as though it were.

I will hopefully kill his BS once and for all.

"He just throws a rose and leaves!"

For those who have actually watched the anime (or even just the very first episode) to describe Tuxedo Mask as 'useless' is reductionist to the point of being outright disingenuous. In particular when this argument is made in such a way as to negatively compare him to his manga counterpart, who is put over as allegedly superior on this point.

The original 1992 Sailor Moon anime had 200 episodes, 3 TV specials*, 2 theatrical shorts and 3 films, with these latter theatrical releases being dubiously canonical to the anime. Mamoru appears in the overwhelming majority of those 208 entires, even accounting for the final 34 episodes where he was dead/functionally absent almost all of the time. Even if we seriously low balled things, the majority of those appearances feature him partaking in the following scenario.

Sailor Moon, often with her fellow Senshi, are fighting the monster of the day (maybe it's a higher ranking villain, or a general threat they are dealing with).

They get into a tight spot where either they or whoever/whatever they are trying to protect is in danger from whatever threat they are combatting.

Then, out of the blue, a rose slices through the air and imbeds itself into the scenery like a dart. Typically, this action saves the lives of Sailor Moon, her friends or whomever they might be protecting.

Tuxedo mask gives a speech and either leaves or else sticks around to see Sailor Moon perform her finishing move that effectively ends whatever threat she was dealing with, often with Tuxedo Mask being the one to prompt her into performing this finshing move.

For the sake of argument lets pretend that the above is literally the sum totality of what Mamoru does in regards to the superheroics of Sailor Moon. How could anyone describe the above as 'useless'?

If his interventions regularly save Sailor Moon's life then that is a zillion miles away from useless. For him to be useless, his actions need to be superfluous, pointless, contribute nothing. Even if he contributed a little bit he would by definition not be useless. And saving the protagonist's life is much more than 'a little bit'. If the protagonist dies then the story is over. Evil has won, the world is doomed.

And this isn't even considering all the ways Mamoru contributes OUTSIDE of the above scenario.

He has, whilst untransformed, stabbed a Lemures with a knife to save Sailor Moon.

He has willingly acted as a magical life support system for Chibi-Usa when her Pure Heart was stolen, an act that maybe anyone else could have performed but it is still a noble thing to do, in particular when it freed up the more powerful characters to go get her heart back.

He personally met up with the Outer Senshi to learn about them on behalf of the other girls, going alone which might have been dangerous, but the episode also gives the impression that he, as the oldest member of the team, was better positioned to get info from the older Outer Senshi who has a demeaning view of the younger Inner Senshi. In this same episode, he tried to convince the Outers to join forces with the Inners, acting as a diplomat.

He went 1-on-1 with Rubeus to defend an injured Sailor Moon who was herself acting as a human shield for Chibi-Usa

He has personally gone on a one man mission to infiltrate the Black Moon Clan's HQ to rescue Sailor Moon from being sexually assaulted by Prince Demande.

Mere episodes later he and Artemis went on a scouting mission to learn more about the Malefic Black Crystal

He formed a double team with Sailor Moon to tackle a tennis themed Youma, an encounter that involved more than a singular rose throw and a speech. One of the multiple times he got more directly involved in fighting the monster of the day

He literally carried Sailor Moon on his back to save her when they were both trapped in an elevator courtesy of Nephrite

He was prepared to willingly reveal his identity and hand both himself and his Rainbow Crystals over to Zoisite in order to save Sailor Moon and her friends

The love he shared with Usagi directly led to the manifestation of the Silver Crystal, to the salvation of Chibi-Usa when she'd been brainwashed into Black Lady & the creation of a new weapon and transformation brooch for Usagi in season 3

As Prince Endymion, he went against his own subjects and risked his life to infiltrate the Moon Palace and warn his beloved Serenity that his home planet was going to invade her home

He took not one, not two, but three impalements to protect Sailor Moon's life

More often than not he has acted as reliable emotional support for Usagi and Chibi-Usa, encouraging them, helping them with homework or just being there for them. i.e. he is an imperfect, but ultimately good husband and father. Which is particularly impressive considering he hadn't yet married his wife nor conceived his child.

There are those who might scoff at the latter. Is emotional support really useful? Well, putting aside how the Sailor Moon universe clearly demonstrates how magical power/energy is directly linked to emotions, this is categorically true in the real world as well. There are no end of testimonies from fire fighters, doctors, people who have serious illnesses, or soldiers that the emotional support of thier loved ones have kept them going and kept them alive. So, this is rather useful for our heroine Usagi who's job is that of a Sailor Soldier.

The Outer Senshi

Furthermore, there is an inherent hypocrisy in the 'Mamoru is useless' narrative because such criticisms are never levelled against other characters whose typical role in the narrative are similar to Mamoru's.

The most popular season of the original anime was season 3 (Sailor Moon S) and one of the biggest reasons for that show's popularity were the fan favourite Outer Senshi: Sailors Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and Saturn. Let's exclude Saturn as she wasn't active as a Senshi for most of season 3. Uranus and Neptune's role in the first half of season 3 typically amounted to

Attacking the monster of the day, usually to the same end that Mamoru's rose throws did, i.e. a distraction or last minute save

Swiping the Pure Heart of that episode's victim

Checking it over before concluding it wasn't a Talisman

Leaving, or else at least standing by as Sailor Moon administered her finishing move on the monster of the day

Golly...that seems just as 'useless' as Mamoru now doesn't it? In fact, maybe more so considering they weren't even trying to help Sailor Moon in the first place. In fact, during their second appearance, they unintentionally saved the lives of a powerless Usagi, her friends and an innocent civilian to check a Pure Heart, then uncaringly left them all in danger.

You know who then saved them immediately after that? Mamoru!

Later when he too was overwhelmed by the monster he directly contributed to saving the day as his emotional bond with Usagi generated the Spiral Moon Heart Rod, upgrading Sailor Moon and giving her the power to save everyone.

During the third sub-arc of season 3 (where the recurring villain was Mimet of the Witches 5) Sailor Pluto joined the Outer Senshi's ranks and their role in the typical monster of the day plots became yet more minimal. More than once, the trio literally appeared but did nothing, something that had also happened at least once before Pluto joined the team. Examples include (but are not necessarily limited to) episodes 97 (The Labyrinth of Water – Ami Targeted), 116 (Sunny Skies After a Storm – A Friendship Dedicated to Hotaru) and 118 (Battle Inside the Demonic Space – The Sailor Guardians’ Gamble). In some of these instances the Outers deliberately choose to do nothing.

Barring 2 of the specials mentioned above (one of which was a clip show), the Outer Senshi were wholly absent in season 4/Sailor Moon SuperS. In one of those specials, upon learning that a new threat had arisen Uranus and Neptune...choose to continue their road trip and leave the fighting to Usagi and the others...How...useful???????

They, along with Pluto and Saturn get much more involved during the course of the final season/Sailor Stars. Even then, Saturn only appears in the first few episodes and the last few. Pluto only gets involved in the monster of the day schemes once or twice and Uranus and Neptune three or four times, if that. Whilst Mamoru is barely involved at all in this season, he at least has the excuse of being dead for most of it.

So, the fan favourite Outer Senshi got far LESS involved and were LESS useful than Mamoru typically was in the course of the whole show. In fact, even if we exclude the first two seasons where (exempting Pluto) the Outer Senshi hadn't appeared yet, Mamoru overwhelmingly contributed MORE than the Outer Senshi did.**

The Other Senshi

Much the same can be applied to the Sailor Starlights. The Starlights more often than not actually got MORE involved in fighting the monsters of the day during season 5 than the Outer Senshi did in season 3; or at least they were interested in defusing a direct and active threat to innocent lives. But even they literally showed up and did nothing on at least one occasion.

Whilst the Starlights are nowhere close to the Outer Senshi's popularity, they are also never subjected to the 'they are useless' narrative Mamoru frequently is.

Nor in fact are the Inner Senshi of Sailors venus, Mars, Jupiter and Mercury. Now, whilst it's easy to argue due to their superior screentime, the fact that they often initiate combat with the monster of the day and are generally heavily involved in whatever crisis is happening, that they are obviously more useful than Mamoru is.

And you know what, even including the rare occasions they too show up and do nothing else (or do a last minute save like Mamoru is prone to do) this is perfectly true. It is also perfectly true however that the quartet have rarely ever defeated any monster of the day on their own. The overwhelming majority of the time the Inner Senshi act as a distraction to the Monster of the day or else sufficiently lower its HP so that Sailor Moon can actually beat the monster. That might be more useful than Mamoru's typical contributions, but, call me crazy, it seems like Sailor Moon is doing the lion's share of the work there. So, how 'useful' are the Inner Senshi really if we run by the 'Mamoru is useless' narrative?

If Mamoru is useless so are many if not all of the more popular heroic characters in the series.

But...how useless is Mamoru in the anime compared to the Manga?????????

*Well, one special with three segments, but go with me on this.

**They were mostly absent from season 4 whilst he appeared routinely in that season. Meanwhile, in the season he was mostly absent, they rarely helped out.

Obviously, there are real life writing reasons behind that difference, but my point is why is the fandom not treating the Outer Senshi as 'useless' too?

aslan, prince of the fae || age unknown, physically 25 || pansexual || the runaway fae || born the eldest son to the royal family of the fae world that he knows to be home, aslan was given responsibilities at a young age when all he wanted to do was explore the other realms & put his powers to good use. all of which contain the use of magic to manipulative the world around him in different ways, he found himself tempted to experience all that he could of his abilities by leaving the world that he knew so well. finding himself in the unfamiliar world of mortals where it soon became clear that aslan was not like those around him. hiding the fact that he is immortal & possesses more powers than he can easily control on his own, he makes sure to make the most of the freedom he always craved so much. || fc: jonathan bailey

scarlett || physically 16 / actually 300+ years old || heteroromantic || the runaway vampire || there was once a time when scarlett had a normal life with her family as a regular girl, having dreams for her future that she hoped would one day come true. she was the youngest of three sisters whom she got along with well as they were more than just family, they were also her best friends. there was never anything to worry about until the day when she encountered a group of who she thought were just kids, not realizing until it was too late that they were actually vampires.

it was after growing close to her new friends that she learned the truth about them, though by that point she was already so close to them that she didn't want to cut off contact from them. she spent more time with them than her own family by this point as there was something about having fun with vampires who didn't have to abide by rules that she found exciting. that is, until the day she witnessed what it really meant to be a vampire. witnessing them feeding on innocent people filled her with dread and she returned to her home as she no longer wanted anything to do with them.

unfortunately it wasn't so easy to get rid of them and the vampires made it clear that she wouldn't escape them. resulting in the demise of her family that left her the sole survivor, albeit she wouldn't remain human for very long as they turned her into a vampire as well. it was with this new life and a thirst for blood that she killed her former friends before going on the run, hoping to find a way to move on past her trauma and find someone in the ever changing world that she could trust and get close to. || fc: bailey bass / delainey hayle

kenneth 'kenny' willard || 33 || homosexual || the lost boy || kenny was a quiet, catholic boy who attended school with his friend and secret love interest, hawkins fuller. together the two formed a secret bond that went beyond friendship, resulting in something far more that brought out the best in each other. kenny wasn't one to make friends very easily since he was reserved and focused mostly on his faith and being a good son to his parents, so he appreciated being able to break out of his shell when he got close to hawk when they ended up playing tennis together.

it all ended when classmates started to take notice of how close the two of them were, resulting in hawk pushing kenny away who became reserved again. then he was outed when he and hawk were caught together by hawk's father, resulting in kenny's parents finding out that their son was gay. his parents refused to accept this and kenny was even more alone than before, but he still wanted to be with hawk. something that he showed by following his former friend into battle during the second world war. this backfired as they were sent to different places and kenny did his best until an incident took place that left him for dead.

fortunately, he didn't die and though he was scarred mentally and physically with his left arm having to be amputated, kenny was just thankful to be alive. there was nothing left for him back where he once called home after everything that took place before he left, therefore he found his way to washington, dc. hoping that in doing so, he'd be able to find hawkins fuller and hopefully find a way to make a new life for himself while moving past all the trauma that he endured. || fc: callum turner

edgar || age unknown || the ancient ghost || while his backstory is unknown and the details of his death are a secret that no one's been able to discover, it's clear that edgar came from a time that was many centuries before any real modern civilization. still stuck in his old ways that he feels safest in since the modern world is something he has no desire to learn, nor does he have any desire to leave the world to move onto the afterlife. his bizarreness that anyone who may encounter him is usually enough to keep those people away from where he haunts, but that's what he claims to prefer. even if there is a part of him that would like a companion to make things a little less lonely for him while he remains in this strange and unfamiliar world. || fc: nicolas cage

frankie steele || 18 || heteroromantic || the brat heir || frankie is the son of a powerful crime family who's known by just about the entire city of new york for more than just their name. what looks like a life of chaotic luxury to the public is much different to the sole heir to the family business, frankie. to him it's a life of neglect that started when he was just a kid and would continue well into his teenage years. so often he was left on his own to be cared for by maids while barely getting to know his own parents who just let their son do whatever he pleased. this was something he took full advantage of and with him being the son of such a high profiled family, it wasn't long until the once mild-mannered boy became a spoiled brat who basically took over the city that he would make his playground.

it was after being caught hacking the company of businessman cillian price that he was brought to the man's office with a job offer that involved him hacking for him while getting involved in the man's scheme to get back at those who wronged him. since frankie was basically free to do whatever he wants and doesn't have to abide by the laws, frankie saw nothing wrong in joining cillian and his assistant, x. with cillian as his mentor and boss, frankie may just learn how to put others before himself and put his skills to good use so he can help bring justice to those who deserve it.

help3r || the hacker's assistant || help3r is a droid that was completely crafted and designed by x who decided the best way to have an assistant for his work was to build one, preferring a droid over a human one. one might assume x has little interest in forming any kind of connection ( or as much as one can have with a droid ), but help3r has proven to be a good source of companion for the hacker who is otherwise isolated when he's not with other people. designed to store data and help out with other technological things around x's lab, help3r has been known to enjoy the presence of new and recurring people whom the droid knows as allies and will think of them as friends.

sofia cortez || 32 || heterosexual || the crime princess || sofia is a young woman who came from a humble background where she worked to make a life for herself while dreaming of a better future where she could make it big in the world. life was relatively quiet for the first twenty or so years until she began working at a nightclub shortly after turning twenty-one. it was during her time working as a bartender that she met cillian price, a handsome and successful businessman whom sofia quickly fell for. their relationship soon took off and sofia was introduced to a life of luxury and crime that she couldn't get enough of.

life was good with her and cillian for several years until she was lured in by mykel stark, another businessman whose mysterious charm and dark demeanor made sofia want more that she had with cillian. it was his involvement in crime that she found fascinating enough to assist him in the downfall of cillian and the young hacker known only as x. while they didn't fully succeed their goal, sofia and mykel did enough damage to weaken the man and the once humble sofia is ready to show the world that she's more than a pretty face. || fc: selena gomez

x || 35 || homosexual / demisexual || the man with the computer || x is a mysterious hacker whose identity has been wiped by him, leaving nothing to know about him besides the enigmatic name he goes by and the fact that he's a hacker. where he came from and what he did in his past is known only by him and is something he'll never disclose to anyone. unable to trust anyone enough to open himself up for love or close connections, he only works for ceo businessman, cillian. the two of them are only partners in crime despite his feelings for the older man that he chooses to keep to himself while focusing only on work that he gets from those he chooses to seek out. not wanting to give his heart away and have it be something he begins to regret. || fc: ben whishaw

dr. robert 'bobby' martin || 40 || homosexual || the compassionate doctor || bobby always had an interest in wanting to help others since he was a young boy which only grew as he got older, making him want to study medicine after completing high school. this was only heightened when his younger brother, elliot, ended up getting sick with leukemia. given how it was stage three and elliot was young, he had no chance of surviving. he was only thirteen when he died and bobby was about to graduate high school.

moving on from the loss in the best way he could, bobby went about making his dreams a reality by deciding to become a family physician who could help children, hopefully better than he tried to help his brother. everything was good for the next few years as he went away to college, but then his parents were killed in a car crash which left the college student as the only remaining member of his family left. with the news bringing his studies to a stop, he dropped out of college and took up drinking instead while living in his old family home.

it was after a car crash that nearly took his life that nearly took his life that got bobby back on track when realizing that he wasn't quite ready to die yet. he took the time in recovery to get his life back together and finish college, albeit he struggled for a bit with limited mobility thanks to his accident. nevertheless, he didn't let it stop him and he eventually became a doctor who specialized in helping children at the local hospital. the same one where the doctors all did their best to try and help bobby's family when they needed help the most. || fc: ben whishaw

issac thompson || 30 || trans masc / pansexual || the vampire writer || unbeknownst to him while growing up, issac grew up as the son of highly profiled politician, richard thompson. a man who was known more for his political views rather than his abusive nature that his various children would endure in different ways. issac was no exception to this and it was perhaps made worse due to him being trans which caused him to become little more than a thing to the man who was really his grandfather.

his mother, skylar, was in fact a sibling to who issac thought were his brothers and sister. the reason for him not growing up with his mother was the fact that skylar had him out of wedlock and richard, not wanting to face a scandal, took issac in while forbidding skylar to stay with him, instead sending him away which resulted in her being turned into a vampire and eventually being put on trial where she was meant to die, but only lost her sight due to exposure to the sun. as for issac, he finally escaped the abuse and found a place to call home while finding a passion for writing about vampires and working at a bookstore. not knowing the whole time that he had more of a connection with them than he thought. || fc: ben whishaw

draco laurent || age unknown / turned at 25 || bisexual || the fragmented vampire || born during the early 1800s as the older brother to a younger sister, draco was always given responsibilities that he was meant to uphold while helping around the home. it was a simple enough life for the middle-class boy who wanted his own life outside of his new orleans home. while he adored spending time with his younger sister, eloise, draco was always independent which really became evident in his teen years when he got involved in things around the city where he began to make a name for himself and soon grew popular while he worked to make his own future that would involve somehow leaving new orleans to travel the world.

then he met tobias whose mysterious nature lured the young man in, making him think he was safe with the other which would eventually turn out to be false. it was as he got closer to tobias that he met the man's wife, megan whom he started a secret affair with after it was clear that the relationship she and tobias had was nothing but abusive and there was no love. even if he knew it was a bad thing to do, draco grew to love megan and it was when they decided to run away that they had a baby who unfortunately did not survive to childhood. they never got the chance to runaway and instead they were caught and draco was punished for what he did by getting turned into a vampire by the very man he thought he could trust.

things only seemed to grow worse when turned and though he tried to stay on his sire's good side, the love he thought was there began to fizzle out and even more so when he was forced to kill megan, though he was able to bring her back by turning her despite being far too young in his fledgling years to do so. it was doing this that further tarnished his and tobias' relationship until the day when he killed the man which set him free from his sire's torment. years and centuries would pass with many more hardships and conflict along the way, mixed in with broken memories that leave his past a mystery that he still tries to solve to this day. || fc: timothee chalamet

emanuel 'manny' kingsley || 25 - 50 || homosexual || the political assistant || coming from a humble childhood with his adopted parents who gave manny a family when his parents died before he had a chance to fully remember them, the young boy learned life lessons that made him the perfect candidate for the assistant of a politician with whom he had a good bond and made the closeted manny start to question his sexuality without properly being able to explore it. regardless of this he kept wanting to find love and at the same time, make a better future for himself that might help him to achieve more than he had which wasn't very much.

it was as he started working for antown that he grew curious about the world of politics which only made him want to pursue something greater. this only led to him getting more than he bargained for which ended up tarnishing his reputation and he had no choice but to leave something he knew so well, thus living a quieter life that took him from washington to a quiet town in maryland. somewhere he felt more at peace while finding a new path for himself.

something that only worked for so long before he was diagnosed with stage three leukemia. taking away any dreams he had for the future, manny put his life on hold while focusing on his treatments that eventually led to him being cancer free. though even with his time spent going back to life again, he was once again sick years later and it was this new illness that told him he couldn't just put life on hold since there was no guarantee that he'd get better or have another chance to beat something that was only slowly killing him a little each day. || fc: jonathan bailey

aiden campbell || 300+ years old || pansexual || the mind reading vampire || aiden is a mysterious vampire whose human life has never been disclosed aside from him being a father to young rosalind with his wife, elizabeth for several years. their quiet life being broken when rosalind was stolen away in the night and aiden's wife suffered with tuberculosis which ended her life and almost took his as well. while she succumbed to the illness, aiden was saved by a man named stefan who lured the younger man in with the promise of love and a happier life than the one he lost.

believing his lies led aiden to being turned and becoming the fledgling to stefan whose love was only a way to get aiden on his good side. centuries of staying by his sire's side finally came to an end when aiden was able to escape the pain he endured at the hands of the older vampire. finding a better life for himself that kept him in the darkness of nighttime while drawing as little attention to himself as possible. not wanting to relive the trauma of his past that is forever etched on his skin with scars. || fc: assad zaman

Vesper Noir confessed he like the music in Prince of Tennis despite not knowing anything about the sports, Tennis. As a Tenipuri fan, glad to hear it. He imitated Ryoma's catchphrase "Mada Mada Dane" and Tezuka's tennis technique "Tezuka Zone". Later, chat referenced You Got Game (POT ending song).

Context: Chat love referencing "THE GAME you just lose :^)" meme ever since Vesper's early days after debut because of his meme stream. I think the way they used You Got Game to him is similar to that.

— three facts

I have an excel document where I keep track of all art that I've purchased/commissioned since 2021 because that's when my huge craze for collecting art from artists I like started. I did this to really put into perspective how bad my 'nochillitis' gets. I've--- spent a lot on dA artists lol. (don't get me started on gacha games)

If anyone knows Prince of Tennis, I have all of the 'Valentine Day Kiss' songs. Wouldn't you know that they keep releasing a new one every year? I collect them!

I don't know how accurate it is because I was doing it in my car and people were walking around so I got nervous but, according to singingcarrots, My lowest singing note is a F#3 and my highest is a D6.

— experience

I believe I've been rp'ing for about 16-17 years? I think only 7 years on tumblr.

— sub-genres

Tbh I don't understand what this means. KHR has a bit of crack humor to it, which appeals to my troll heart. It's easy to do wholesome fluffy things with Haru as well as it is to do angst. IDK if that answers the question.

— plots vs memes

Mmm... so I'm fine with winging threads and seeing where things go, but plotting things out usually does retain attention for both sides. Memes are fun, even if I tend to write them as if they are standalone things. Some memes are fine to be continued- but the drabble ones usually aren't. I do always make sure to specify that somewhere, either in tags or in the response itself.

If I had to say, I have a stronger preference to plots since it's easier to cater things to your muse. Memes are something I throw onto the dash when I have the time or in the mood for it. I don't have the best relationship with the inbox, so I personally don't have a good association with memes in general.

— long or short replies

Depends on the definition. I'm honestly not very good with sentence threads, and I will often slowly veer into paragraph territory. I tried sentence threads before, but that's when I was hit with 2 word responses- which is why it's in my rules to never give me 2 word replies. It became a peeve of mine.

The shortest I can go is probably a paragraph. The longest... I think to date may have been something between 1.5-2k words? I write whatever feels right for me in the moment, and I honestly don't mind however much or little my partner wants to write.

I can however be asked to keep my replies within a certain length (ie 3 paragraphs) and i'll adhere to that. 8)

— best time to write

Any time i'm not distracted with youtube/discord I tend to be more active in the afternoon to late evening hours. As for chatting, I tend to prefer hours 10am-4pm because it feels like it's still early in the day that I can afford to be distracted with conversations. After that, I do try to stay away from discord if I can so I can focus on writing.

If I have nothing to work on, then any hour of the day i'm awake is a good time to talk.

Three ships: I don’t even know how to tackle this lol I know kids these days use the word ship in ways I don’t get, but I’ll go with my understanding. I’ll do a historic ship, a hall of fame ship from last year and the one most read in my ao3 history currently. 

So, for historic ship I’d say Royai, but I have come to accept that I do ship them as a qp relationship, not romantically. I think they are probably in the top 5 of the most well developed qp relationships I’ve ever read (unintentionally probably idk), but I only noticed the importance of that once I lifted the fandom veil of “every ship that isn’t canonically romantic and sexual is lacking it and fandom has to fill that void”. 

For a hall of fame from last year, I’d give props to Lilly Fortenberry and Candace Powell from Astrid and Lilly Save the World. The nerdy fat girl and the popular girl with a strict upbringing who used to be friends as kids and something happened that made them drift apart but turns out they’re in love with each other, love to see it. Hope they get another season. 

And my most read currently in ao3 is probably superbat but that also counts as a historic one too. I also don’t care about what kind of relationship they’re in, I’ve always liked their dynamic, so it’s a delight whatever the case. 

First ever ship: It’s probably a toss up from shows I watched as a little kid, Rogue and Gambit from Saban’s X-Men was probably one of the firsts when I was in primary school. 

Last song: I am learning how to play One Summer’s Day by Joe Hisaishi (the Chihiro song) in kalimba, so that’s the last I heard. Normally I look for several versions on the instrument and listen to the original and make my own tabs from all of that (I’m using 4 different versions for this one, but one is in a different kalimba with a different amount of keys than mine). I had stopped playing after my cat passed away because she used to be with me when I did and I miss her terribly, but I picked it back up finally this week. 

Last movie: So, in the last 4 days I watched Strange World, Glass Onion, the latest Prince of Tennis movie (Ryoma! The Prince of Tennis I think it’s called, we watched both versions) and the Cherry Magic movie. I’m catching up with the fun ones before awards season is upon us.

Currently reading: I finished the 2nd AriDante book and I’m going to pick back up friend recommendations, so I’ll continue with Wayward Children (recommended by @bewareofitalics first and then Locked Tomb recommended by the lovely Emily who tagged me on this). I’m also reading a bunch of non fiction books, depends on my mood what I pick that day. 

Currently watching: Blue Lock, Yowamushi Pedal (the latest season) and we just finished His Dark Materials season 3. A lot of eclectic youtube stuff. 

Currently consuming: as in food? nothing atm. I have to start preparing the rosca de reyes tomorrow, to finish it on the 6th, though. Tomorrow I’m in pastry cream and sugar confections duty. 

Currently craving: the Eliza McFee doll is the first thing that comes to mind, she looks very adorable and I collect fairies. 

Tagging: whoever wants to do this, consider yourselves tagged by me and post it! because most time the people I tag aren’t in the mood and the people I forget to tag would like to do it, I have terrible aim in tags.

₊✩‧₊˚౨ৎ˚₊✩‧₊ @unburiedhatchet​ asked ⊹ ’ How much have you had to drink. ’ meme. still accepting! ft. ❝money don't matter 2night.❞ by prince.

Virote sat alone by the glass railing at some bougie ass bar called Henry's Place in the Rockford Plaza, nursing his forth ( and a half ) glass of shiraz. The skyline stretched around and below him, diffusing into the late evening fog up into the hills—and, a cacophony of assholes honking their horns a couple of streets over because some idiot rear ended someone at a light went nice with the music. He leaned forward slightly, elbows on the table, fingers lightly tapping the glass; he was almost a little... Nervous? He hadn't seen Michael in about a week ( Michael was busy. With what? The usual, of course. ) And, with his own schedule, he was always on some sort of set. Filming something. Some type of interview or photoshoot. There was always something happening for the both of them.

' How much have you had to drink? '

His posture straightened as Michael took a seat across from him, watching as Michael lit a cigarette and pulled the ashtray to his side of the table. ❝Mm? Me? How much have I… Been drinking? Not much.❞ The most obvious lie on planet Earth. ❝I don't sound drunk, do I? This is my first glass,❞ he semi-slurred. ❝Anyway, how've you been since the whole... Amanda-raw-dogging-with-the-tennis-coach thing...? Are you okay? You've been distant. I'm surprised you even answered my texts.❞

Taken from meme:  ( ☾ )  ||Accepting||

12) what was the first fandom that you roleplayed witin?

Prince of Tennis with a VERY close second of Yu Yu Hakusho on proboards.

14) have you been a roleplay admin? if you have, did you enjoy it? if you no longer do, why did you stop?

Eh--- like-- someone with a leadership role in a RP group? Then yeah. No, kinda hated it, with the politics. Long story short, an incident resulted in half the moderator team left. At the time, I also felt disrespected as a moderator who did so much work and picked up on the slack of other mods-- and yet I was treated like I did/knew nothing. I left with the other two mods. Worser yet, I was lowkey forced into the role.

15) what is your favourite part about using this platform to roleplay on?

It's both private and public at the same time. Inherently threads are private, but it's still open for people to read and enjoy along with you. Also, no word limits.
