The 4 Horsemen- Ring Around The Rosie

Sometimes (cough cough all the time cough), Joan has a hard time when children are affected by epidemics. This one bad plague has been taking such a toll on them & breaks down after watching some children put on a brave face better than them.

PS- "Nursery" is a space in the afterlife for young children who aren't ready to move on & eventually shall return to earth to try again at a new life.

(Made up just for the story. But honestly, why judge a child whose brain is still underdeveloped & learning?)

Time for the monthly period where I cry about death and dying because life is so fleeting, and so fragile yet so powerful, and how lucky we are to experience the feeling of existence and to love and feel joy, sadness, happiness, anger, etc

what do you like about tokyo mew mew as a whole? I can't remember if you have done a full talk about it before.

Rereading the manga as someone who grew up watching the 2000s anime def revealed I had been viewing a lot of the story with rose tinted glasses. I do enjoy it a lot more than Sailor Moon thought it might just be from me having a bias.

I grew up obsessed with animals so I've already had a draw to Tokyo Mew Mew as it's a magical girl series with the girls based off endangered animals.

The outfits, as I talked about before, are like...the best magical uniforms ever in my opinion. If I had to do a list, Tokyo Mew Mew would be at the top of it for best uniforms followed by Power Puff Girls Z and then Doremi.

I think the names of the characters are very cute too, including them working at a maid cafe so you have these girls also employed as they are risking their lives saving the world.

I also enjoy Quiche and that added element of the antagonists having some redemption. Quiche is like...the most problematic element for many of course but I love the little shit and he is was led baby me into falling down the villain fan rabbit hole. It was also my first exposure to a villain in love with a protagonist (and it not ending with the fella dying) and that was one of the biggest "WAIT YOU CAN DO THAT???" moments to me when it came to story telling.

Tokyo Mew Mew does suffer from a fair share of things I don't really like, like the sexualization of the girls (especially Ichigo), how Ichigo's personality doesn't get as much room as I'd like due to her one-track mind on her crush (I love the moments she gets to hang with the Mew Mews), and Aoyama just not having as much dimension to him as I'd like (that's the one thing Sailor Moon def has over Tokyo Mew Mew for me since Tuxedo Mask was at least a funny dude in the beginning).

OVERALL--Tokyo Mew Mew is the most nostalgic magical girl series for me as I grew up watching it when it aired on 4Kidz when I was a kid, and then I rewatched the actual unedited subbed version on Youtube with each episode in three parts when I was in middle school.

It's not the best magical girl series BUT it's got some charm to it that I appreciate.

in one of the linked posts over on @dingodad i make the connection to aradiabot as an example of a blood-powered machine (which is more relevant if we see things through the lens of robots as vessels for human spirits, which has become all the more prominent postcanon, but i digress), but I guess the unspoken parallel is the gold-blooded sollux who acts as custodian to his gold-filled beehouse machines? i won't rehash territory i've already explored but there has very much always been the sense that alternian computers could be running on the blood of the proletariat

When Connor uses his Tasha's Otherworldly Guise, a few things happen that I'd like to make note of that's kind of important.

Aside from Connor's secondary pair of arms turning into WINGS as part of the spell, a few features happen.

Their ribcage is lit up with tattoos and inscriptions.

Their scythe is also lit up with danse macabre art.

For those who know of the danse macabre, it's a late middle age artist genre focused on the universality of death.

The Danse Macabre consists of the dead, or a personification of death, summoning representatives from all walks of life to dance along to the grave, typically with a pope, emperor, king, child, and labourer. The effect is both frivolous and terrifying, beseeching its audience to react emotionally. It was produced as memento mori, to remind people of the fragility of their lives and the vanity of earthly glory.

One of my favorite examples of the danse macabre was one of the murals I ended up doing research on that was destroyed by germany during WWII, and I thought to share it.
