Sailor Stars Classic Thoughts I been having
Firstly I read someone else’s theory that Galaxia never intended for the Animamates to succeed, just to draw out the sol senshi by making problems, which explains why they were even trying to find true star seeds in random people rather than, you know, the sailor senshi that keep showing up. When in the anime they are supposed to be the original senshi of Chuu/Mau/etc, corrupted/brainwashed by the bracelets. Like, aside from it being incredibly poor management to train your staff so poorly that their knowledge base of “what is a true starseed and where are they found?” is
Sparkly crystal which stays sparkly
No, Reiko, you can’t eat it
They are inside people, maybe the talented ones? Unclear.
But also like. If they are all senshi. Who willingly took the bracelets and had their starseeds ripped out. Then they very much know what they are and where to find them??? Their own starseeds are ABSOLUTELY part of the Calder knockoff Galaxia keeps above her throne come on the intimidation! The drama! Totally her style.
Yet the animamates, even Suzu, only connect that SM has The Good One when they have help or foreknowledge. So either Galaxia mind wiped them or they never knew, both of which don’t work well for their own reasons I am choosing to ignore, because the text makes it evident: they don’t know.
And then there the foolishness of killing off your lieutenants. Unless these aren’t her elite team. These are who is left after she’s razed the galaxy. If her statement to HaruMichi is true- nobody has tried to use her own power against her*- then she can’t have kept anyone strong around for long. I can’t imagine that truly zero people tried to fight back, so I assume that she maintained a real revolving door office culture, keeping new hires for exactly long enough to take out their comrades and train their replacements. And these four poor schmos are the last ones standing.
*I also find this statement dubious on account of A) unreliable narrator who B) enjoys lying, arson, and jaywalking
So 🐭🧜‍♀️🐦🐈‍⬛ (in the anime at least) are who’s left, but as in they’ve been there a while and survived, or as in their own planets were some of the most recent? I could work with either, frankly, but slightly prefer the former because then I can handwave some of the ignorance despite being canonically actual senshi not fakes who stole a real sailor crystal from their local godqueen as being due to spending X amount of time in the back rooms of this soul sucking corporation, day in and day out the same until memories of anything else melt away.
Naturally in the manga it’s fine because some of them don’t have that first hand exposure and the other just could have had a big gulp prepared by Sailor Lethe yum yum. Also less of the “big bad kills middle management for the hero”
Also my spouse kept calling Aluminum Siren “aluminum siding” and I love this. She’s noshing all the time not just because she’s a stress eater but because she was hungry when she died so now she’s always hungry. Because that’s what the bracelets do. They keep you from atomizing away without your soul gem, but as soon as they are removed, poof (or slow fade while you sadly share some jokes you’d jotted down in notepad for just such and occasion) so you’re already dead. You’re just on pause.
Anyhow she and Lead Crow are in love obviously and have the same ultimate sideboob style to their uniforms- I think they are from the same system; one fell and the other followed. Maybe even begged Galaxia “I have one condition” and she starts to ohohoho you’re in no position to be making demands but they make eye contact “my rival, I am only this strong from needing to be better than her. Save her too.” Or maybe it was “you can’t have her, I’m coming with” whatever it was it hurt thank you
Nezu having the super cute uniform and dressing like a 1930s gangster for work is everything and I love her.
Kakyuu’s incense pokeball! What’s it like on the inside? How’s she able to communicate with CC while she’s in it? I want a Polly Pocket of Princess Kakyuu’s fragrant vacation home.
Am I not good enough? Ouch oof bye goodnight
Suzu X Diana purely for the sake of making a black & white thinking vs shades of grey joke.
Usagi please go to therapy.
If CC is ***’s starseed, and yet has her own body and form, then the silhouette wouldn’t be cosmos, but a grown incarnation of the good parts of the artist formerly known as the light of hope. I would love a design that’s evocative of a sunrise, taking her hot pink into reds, golds, even lilac.
Also *** totally flew off, then CC, once again corporeal, follows a few minutes later. Does that mean *** is flying around with her star seed outside her body without stabilizing bracelets? Did she regen a new one when SM hugged her? IS CC’S STARSEED NOW ITS OWN THING LIKE THE PINK CRYSTAL FOR CHIBS? So now she’s her own person who *** needs to babysit as she travels the universe?? Many questions.
If leaving earth means leaving their boyband pseuds behind does that mean they have other, truer, civilian names? Or did they just take their real names, add a matching surname and suits and that’s that?
Seiya is gender-fluid, Taiki is agender, Yaten is too tired for gender. If they had dic names: Stevie, Taylor, and Francis, who the fans call Frankie and ze doesn’t care for it. Princess Olivia.
Suzu Nyanko = Kitty Clarion
Akane & Reiko = (something that means red- Ruby maybe?) Carrion (for rhymes) & (something long, like Elizabeth) Fisk
Nezu I want to do a really funny one for but I’m tired so maybe later.
Usagi and Kakyuu keep in touch via incensegram or whatever and there is like, immediately, a need for her to visit Kinmouku or for a diplomat to be sent to the sol system oh noooo now you’ll have to kiss…
I wonder if Cosmos will give us a slightly longer glance at Kakyuu’s dead girlfriend?
I want so badly to do rediculous critter versions of the senshi. Like, we know it’s just their usual deal with bracelets on top (give or take some bonus black for evil) but there’s a reason so many people have come up with Selenium Rabbit independently.
I want a workplace slice of life/comedy comic of shadow galactica.
