February Reading and Reviews by Maia Kobabe

I post my reviews throughout the month on Storygraph and Goodreads, and do roundups here and on patreon. Reviews below the cut.

Ruthless Vows by Rebecca Ross read by Alex Wingfield and Rebecca Norfolk

This book started a little slowly for me, as I waited for Roman to regain his memories and for Iris to get back to reporting at the front. Luckily, the magical typewriters once again play a major role in this story as they did in the first one; Roman and Iris's letters are the emotional heart of this series. I also love how it fore fronts the importance of journalists during wartime. Iris's bravery and constant willingness to move towards danger and the unknown in service of sharing the truth makes her a very compelling character. Unfortunately, the magical divine conflict behind the war just didn't compel me very strongly in this book. I think the gods were introduced too slowly into the narrative, and that a lack of a human motivation behind the war simplified the conflict in a way that sucked some of the tension from the text. If you are looking for a solid romance with a strong epistolary element and the aesthetic of wartime setting, this series delivers; if instead you want a complicated, devastating, deeply emotional story of young people surviving a real historical war, pick up Code Name Verity or Rose Under Fire.

Mamo by Sas Milledge

Jo has lived in her small seaside hometown her whole life, and loves it there. But then things start to go wrong- curses, bad luck, mysterious illnesses. She seeks out the town witch and finds a teen girl about her own age, named Orla, who Jo has never met before. It turns out Orla has just returned to town after the death of her grandmother, the previous witch. She wasn't buried properly and her bones are scattered around the town, stirring up bad energy, disturbing the local fae and trolls. Jo and Orla set out of lay the old witch properly to rest, but there's more going on than either of them realize. This is a fairly short but well told tale, queer and magical, and with a little bittersweet edge.

Look on the Bright Side by Lily Williams and Karen Schneemann

This is a very charming follow up to Go With The Flow, taking place over the friend group's following high school year. Brit, who was diagnosed with endometriosis at the end of the previous book, had a surgery to remove it over the summer. When she goes back to school, she finds her affection caught between two different boys. Christine has finally admitted to herself that she likes Abby as more than a friend... but telling Abby that is another matter. Abby is still working on her campaign of menstrual justice on campus, while Sasha struggles to balance her homework, sports, and time with her boyfriend. The girls learn, grow, make mistakes, and support each other.

Gathering Moss written and read by Robin Wall Kimmerer

It took me a little longer to get into this one than Braiding Sweetgrass, mainly because I had much less personal knowledge of mosses than the larger types of plants which Kimmerer wrote about in Sweetgrass. It doesn't help that mosses do not have common names, so are referred to mainly by scientific names, and I was rarely able to picture them well in my head. However, by about a third of the way through I had fallen into the miniature world of mosses and the striking and insightful ways Kimmerer links them to all other organisms in their ecosystems. I loved learning how mosses, like tardigrades, with which they probably co-evolved, can survive desiccation and be revived by water even after all seeming signs of life have disappeared. I was intrigued by the story of a moss species which changes its gender over its lifespan, starting out producing only female reproductive stalks in its early days, shifting producing a mix of male and female stalks as it matures, and then producing solely male stalks as the patch reaches peak density. I was frustrated by stories of the illegal moss harvesting which is stripping Oregon rain forests bare. And I was once again completely charmed by the beauty and generosity of Kimmerer's writing and worldview. She's a bestseller for a reason; I highly recommend everyone pick up at least one of her books at some point.

The High Desert by James Spooner

James' white mother and his black father divorced when he was in elementary school, and he moved around a lot. For high school, he moved with his mom to Apple Valley, a barren small town in the desert an hour inland from Los Angeles. Already a skater, James encountered punk music just went he needed it most: as an isolated and angry teen in a racist town with little to no underground scene or counterculture. The music, and later, the politics, of punk raised James in the semi-absence of parents and role models. This memoir, chronically roughly a year, is an unflinchingly honest look at the cruelty, creativity, friendship, and solidarity of teens. It has the density and scratchy texture of a 90s zine without ever sacrificing clarity. I was very impressed by how clearly and in what detail Spooner was able to recreate his high school angst and activist awaking in this coming of age tale. Punk wasn't the music that found me, but I still remember the high of finding a new favorite band or song that felt as if it spoke right to my teen soul. This book is a testament to the power of music to reach into the dark and pull someone out into the light.

Falling Back in Love With Being Human written and read by Kai Cheng Thom

Short and sweet, this book is half confession, half spell book. Each chapter is written as a letter- to trans women, to activists, to sex workers, to johns, to those contemplating suicide, to TERFs, to children's book writers- each followed with a little action or ritual. I listened to it as an audiobook and loved hearing the letters in the author's voice, but I can also see how reading it in print and lingering over each letter one at a time would be wonderful too.

The Great Beyond by Lea Murawiec translated by Aleshia Jensen

Manel Naher is an anti-social and idiosyncratic young woman living an endless city in which everyone advertises their own names on street signs, sandwich boards, at social events, on business cards, and by simply shouting them at strangers. This may not sound so different from our own world except that it's driven by an even more intense desperation: if one's name is not known, and one's presence fades fully from people's minds, and the forgotten person will literally die. Manel wants nothing more than to escape the city into the wilds beyond it, but her presence is so low she suffers a near fatal heart attack and is scared into a fearful scramble to gain enough fame to live. Her attempts to claw her way into people's memories is surprisingly successful, and in the process of becoming one of the 1% she leaves behind everything and everyone she loved. Never before have I read a comic that felt so much like literary spec-fic. The concepts are fascinating and the cartooning knocked me off my feet. A visual masterpiece I'll be thinking about for a long time to come.

The Spectred Isle by KJ Charles read by Ruairi Carter

Saul Lazenby is a disgraced archeologist who served time for a war crime during the recent WWI. Back in England, disowned by his family, he struggled to support himself. The only job he is able to secure is as a personal assistant to a batty old major who believes in fairy stories and keeps sending Saul off to various parts of London to investigate supposedly occult sites. Saul knows it's all fake but he keeps investigating anyway... and then a tree bursts in flames in front of him. And a mysterious gentleman keeps showing up at the same sites of sacred groves or ancient wells which Saul's been sent to look at. That gentleman is Richard Glide, who just happens to be the heir to one of the oldest arcane families in England. And he can't tell if Saul is causing the spiritual problems that keep occurring around him or if it's all an unlikely coincidence. This historical romance is a fun and quick read, shorter than most of the KJ Charles books I've read before. Be warned, the end sets up a sequel which has not, and may not, ever actually come out- but I still enjoyed this one on it's own.

Red at the Bone by Jacqueline Woodson

A gorgeous, nonlinear novel about three generations of a Black family living in New York between roughly the early 1990s to the mid 2000s. The chapters rotate between multiple POVs, covering moments of change, tension, or reflection for the family. The opening scene is the evening of a debut party for sixteen year old Melody, who wears the dress her own mother was supposed to wear at her debut... except that she was already pregnant. From that moment, the narrative spins back time to how each character arrived there: Iris, a teen who refused to give up her baby but also refused to settle into motherhood; Aubrey, a young man in love with a girl who was already leaving him; Iris's mother Sabe, a daughter of a survivor of the Tulsa massacre, a women who stores her money in gold bars hidden around the house; Iris's father Po'boy, who as a young man ran races, and as an old man holds more love for his family that his body can carry. The character work here is so strong- I was immediately swept away into the cares, worries, secrets, and longings of the family. I read the whole book in one day, but I'll be thinking about it for a long time.

We Are The Land: A Native History of California by Damon B Akins and William J Bauer Jr

It took me a long time to read this book, as it was challenging to read a history of genocide while also seeing genocide in my phone every single day. But I'm ultimately very glad that I finished it. This is a well researched, approachable, indigenous-authored history of the native people in the land now called California. I enjoyed how place specific this book is. I felt much more connected to the history recognizing nearly every place name, and once the book got passed around the year 1900 I started to also recognize names of organizations that still exist and activists who I'm familiar with. I have a much better understanding of the patchwork creation of and the broken promises of the reservations, land allotments, and rancherias. I was happy whenever the book mentioned Pomo master basket weavers Elsie Allen and Mable McKay, who my mom has been telling me about for years, or Greg Sarris, Santa Rosa based chairman of the Graton Rancheria and author. I have a better understanding of this land where I have lived and worked all my life after reading this book.

Zodiac: A Graphic Novel by Ai Weiwei, Elettra Stamboulis and Gianluca Costantini

I've been following Ai Weiwei's work since about 2010, and was absolutely delighted to learn he was releasing a comic memoir. I managed to snag a signed copy though the Comix Experience Graphic Novel of the Month Club and I will treasure it. This book is organized into 12 chapters, each themed around one animal from the zodiac. It weaves together slice of life moments from Ai Weiwei's day to day life, stories of his father (the revolutionary poet Ai Qing), memories of Ai's time as an art student in New York, his incarceration, time spent with his mother, his partner, and his son, conversations with artist friends and some of his international exhibitions. It is not a tight narrative; it wanders, it indulges in myths and fairy tales, it is open ended and I enjoyed it so much. It was written along with Elettra Stamboulis, and draw in a delicate lose line art style by Gianluca Costantini. A few of the lines from the end of the book haven't left my head since I read them: "Freedom of speech and human rights are not given to anybody for free. They always come through fighting and struggle" (101); "Any artist who isn't an activist is a dead artist" (165) and "... the purpose of art, which is to fight for freedom."(166)

Witchy Vol 2 by Ariel Salmat Ries

This volume was just as beautifully drawn as book 1; the cartooning is masterful, but I don't have a very good sense of where the larger plot is going. This book was mostly a long side quest in which Nyneve learned how to make a broom under an exiled gay broom making master. I enjoyed this! However it didn't particularly seem to move the story forward. I will keep reading, but the sense of drama and urgency from the beginning of the first book is slightly missing here.

No Gods, No Monsters by Cadwell Turnbull read by Dion Graham

What a ride! I went into this book knowing almost nothing, and I think that was the right way to go so I shall not summarize the plot. This is the first book of a series; it's ambitious, it's weird, it's got a very large and extremely diverse cast; it is such a fresh and original take on a contemporary sci-fi in which the world realizes that monsters, gods, and magic have existed all along. I worried a little in the first third that the book maybe had too many POV characters, most of whom seemed very unconnected from each other except by geographical proximity to either Cambridge, Mass, or the island of St Thomas. However by the end almost all of the characters had been at least tenuously linked by plot events in a way that really worked for me. The book also has trans, nonbinary, asexual, queer, and poly characters whose identities are only revealed slowly, and usually after you've known the character for a while. I am very impressed by the scope of this story and definitely plan to continue with the series.

Arrive In My Hands by Trinidad Escobar

Sensual, at times tender, at times haunting, this beautiful little book is a collection of lesbian erotic comics from a poet artist at the top of her field. I am definitely biased, having been friends with the author for years, but I also deeply admire this work. The women, witches, and creatures in these stories yearn for pleasure and for freedom; they chase both through oceans, forests, broken suburban towns, and through dreams. The book is perfectly sized to hold close to your heart.

Bird by Bird by Annie Lamott read by Susan Bennett

I've been hearing about this book for years as a writing guide, but it is almost equally a memoir or collection of anecdotes about the writing life. Parts of it worked for me and other parts didn't. The author has a very different type of brain than I have, and the chapters on working through the anxiety, neurosis, and depression she suffered from when trying to write didn't really speak to me at all. I also did not enjoy the handful of flippant jokes about killing yourself when the writing isn't going well. However. There are also some genuinely really moving pieces about writing books as gifts to loved ones, especially loved ones who are soon to leave us. I thought a lot of the advice in the middle about focusing on details, on recording memories, on research, and on character development was really solid, and I want to keep some of it in mind when I start developing my next book. There was also a set of lines in the introduction, about how writers are able to participate in public life while also working from home and without leaving the house which hit the nail on the head of why I entered this career!

Recitatif by Toni Morrison read by Bahni Turpin with an intro written and read by Zadie Smith

I've been wanting to try another Toni Morrison, since the only one I had previously read in high school went completely over my head at age 15. Recitatif is Morrison's only short story, and this audiobook version is read by the wonderful Bahni Turpin (who you might recognize from Angie Thomas or Akwaeke Emezi's audiobooks). Also included in an excellent essay written and read by Zadie Smith. This comes first in the audio, but if you are new to the story as I was, skip the essay and listen to the story first! Then go back and listen to the essay afterwards. This way the cleverness and impact of the story can hit you fully. It is so smart, so well crafted, and such a master class in writing that both reveals and conceals so much about the complicated relationship of two damaged women.

Delicious in Dungeon vol 1 by Ryoko Kui

I can immediately see why so many people are charmed by this world and these characters! This is the start of a really fun D&D infused adventure story, with a small group of down on their luck adventures deciding to cut their adventuring costs by eating the monsters they kill in the dungeon. The man behind this idea, Laos, is also searching for a missing sister who may or may not have already been eaten by a dragon. I already have books 2 and 3 on hold; I haven't been so captured by a manga series since starting Witch Hat Atelier.

Delicious in Dungeon vol 2 by Ryoko Kui

I devoured this book as quickly as book one. Our adventure party gets a bit deeper into the dungeon and begin to have more meaningful interactions with the beings who dwell there, including an Orc family just trying to get by, golems which grow vegetables on their backs, and living paintings which might reveal more of the buried castle's history.

Delicious in Dungeon vol 3 by Ryoko Kui

A flashback reveals more of the school friendship of Marcelle and Falin; a deep underground lake leads to many encounters with watery monsters of various types. I continue to have a very fun time with this series!

Bunt by Ngozi Ukazu and Mad Rupert

Molly grew up in Peachtree, Georgia, in her lesbian moms' hardware store, in the shadow of the town's prestigious and expensive art college, PICA. Every since she can remember, she's wanted to attend PICA- despite the fact that her best friend dropped out last year and says the school chews people up and spits them out. But Molly got a full ride scholarship, so her first semester should be a breeze, right? No! Because when she shows up to orientation, no one can find her scholarship or even her registration. It turns Molly will have to pay for her first year after all; she takes out some dodgy loans and scours the financial aid booklets for any other scholarship she can apply for. It turns out, if she can scrape up a full team of softball players... and they compete against other college teams in the same division... and they win at least one game over the course of the semester... the whole team gets a free tuition! Is it possible to win one game with a bunch of big-ego, burned-out, athletically-challenged artists? I loved the energy of this story, with many well-informed digs at art school culture and hypocrisy. The team has great chemistry and the art style is full of action, physical humor, and delightfully expressive cartooning.

Answering your ask about not giving up a ship on Twitter (what is my i will hang on, teeth and claws). And ive really gotten into multi shipping lately. That all the scouts (the age appropriate ones) are in love with each other. The outers and the inners live separately, but only cuz its hard to find a house that big where they are. (But true to my big fat greek wedding style, thier houses are in a row and they can always see each other)🤣🥰

I have nothing against senshi poly-cule, I think it's fun!

It's not my go-to, but I'm not against it. I like to think some senshi having differing levels of friendship, attraction and respect toward each other.

I'll actually give my opinion on each individual ship. If I think they work, why they do or don't work and why I like them if they do. (p.s. Mamo is not included here, but I do tend to default ship UsaMamo, even if it's pretty poorly written most of the time)

Long post ahead! Hope you appreciate this, it took me a ton of time and I suck at writing.

BEFORE YOU READ THIS, THESE ARE MY OPINIONS, BASED ON MY HEADCANONS/CHARACTER INTERPRETATIONS WITH A BIT OF CANON SPRINKLED HERE AND THERE ( I do not want to see you typing " ..but x character is straight.." , I will come to your house and steal al the toilet paper!!!)

Let's start with Usagi:

(I'll mostly focus on the other side of the party, cause I honestly believe Usagi would be happy with anyone, being able to work though personal preferences more than most people)

🌙💧UsagixAmi: I can see it! They are actually a guilty pleasure ship of mine, they are super cute, and I think they would both respect and love each other enough to work through some stability issues in the relationship. Mostly stemming from not being able to spend enough time with each other. I see Usagi as very clingy and needing to interact physically and emotionally with her partner on a regular basis. While Ami would have the patience to deal with the more emotional moments from Usagi, aka immaturity. This ship works for me, though it needs work from both parties to keep a healthy balance.

🌙🔥UsagixRei: I... don't really see it.. srry. Ik people love it and ik it's an amazing friendship, but I just can't see them interacting healthly on a daily basis. Rei is incredibly independent, while Usagi really isn't. Which is totally fine if matched with the right partner, but Rei would just end up being too frustrated and her love for Usagi would just turn into spite. She needs her space and tbh, she really needs someone who could drop her like a hot potato if the case need be. Overall, an AMAZING friendship, wouldn't work in a relationship. Rei as a friend is just too different from Rei as a lover, and that Rei is not made to be with Usagi.

🌙⚡️UsagixMakoto: I can kind of see it, like AmixUsagi. My only real issue would stem from the fact that Ami has a lot more patience than Mako. Mako is a caretaker, she loves and thrives taking care of others, but she does get frustrated by Usagi's occasional lack of emotional control. Leading me to think Mako would prefer someone with more emotional maturity, tho she would never admit it, or even consciously relate to it as a preference she's looking for in a partner. Tho them cuddling, eating and chilling out would actually work really well, cause I do already see them being very affectionate platonically too. Ship's cute, but quite flawed, would need a LOT of work from both parties do last any significant amount of time and pressure.

🌙💛UsagixMinako: this one's complicated. On one side, yes! I can see it working quite well, on another.. it's a complete disaster. Let me explain. If you were to ask me if I think that Mina and Usagi could work as a couple, I would say yes. They are both very fun, loving, care free gals, who are both emotionally intelligent (Usagi is emotionally intelligent, not mature) and who are very aware of each other's feelings. On the other hand you're asking me if Mina, the leader of a superhero team, the one who's hands would be stained with blood if anything were to ever happen to any of her subordinates, if she would be willing to completely set aside her relationship when it comes to a fundamental rift in ideologies between her and her princess. I don't think Mina would be strong enough to put herself through that, to hurt Usagi when she knows it would be the inevitable, over and over. You cannot save everyone and while she can say that has her leader, I think she could not muster to say it as a lover. Overall cute, if extremely dramatic given the senshi angle, but I don't think it would work.

🌙🗡UsagixHaruka: no. Just no. They are both immature emotional wrecks ready to pass by the McDonald's drive through for a happy meal. They are quite similar in a lot of ways and while I see their friendship as something very precious, they would not work as lovers.

🌙🌊UsagixMichiru: I think I said it quite well once, so I'll reuse it in this situation. "If Michiru had met Usagi instead of Haruka back in S, I think Michiru would've walked into traffic by sunset". Ok, all seriousness, no. I personally find it really hard to see Michiru with anyone that isn't Haruka, let alone someone that isn't a butch lesbian. So, nah, sorry.

🌙🕒UsagixSetsuna: my hc Setsuna is very different from canon Setsuna. I don't see her with anyone. She's just Pluto.

Ami

💧🔥AmixRei: the only way I can see this ship working is in a first fling type of way. Like 2 inexperienced teens wanting to give love a chance with another pretty girl, while being awkward af mfs. If we're talking about them dating after being friends for a long time, I don't see it being stable. Ami is incredibly intelligent, but more like booksmart, not really people smart, while Rei is the literal incarnation of a jigsaw puzzle covered in spikes. There would be little to no direct and clear communication between the two, Rei would feel frustrated like no other cause her 'signs' are CLEARLY SO OBVIOUS MIZUNO! Meanwhile Ami just can't deal with brain games in a romantic relationship (mostly stemming from my autistic Ami hc), with the person she would share a house with.. uh.. l think not, sorry. In the end, I see it working for a bit as a first relationship that ends in them staying close friends, but not anything long-term.

💧⚡️AmixMakoto: AAAHHh, ok I get a chance to talk about them. I'LL KEEP IT BRIEF! I love them, you know this already. They are very simple, direct and loving partners. They have the most boring, loving, drama free, cuddle and love filled relationship in the universe. It's boring, but idc, it's just pure fluff and I love them. The only argument I could see them getting into, on rare occasions, is Ami being Ami and being way too busy for her own good. Mako is a caretaker, yes, but she also wants to be taken care of and spend quality time with her lover. I can see Mako getting silent angry when Ami picks up one too many shifts, while also feeling a bit guilty about it, cause she knows how much her job means to Ami. They would talk and work through it slowly, day by day. Ok, anyhow, love them, NO NOTES!

💧💛AmixMinako: sorry, I think people who follow me are sick of hearing this, but one more time for the people in the back. I do not see Ami and Minako as being good friends. They eventually come to being able to interact one on one without wanting to blow the other's brains off, but I do not ever think they would come to any mutual attraction. It's a bit of a hot take on my part, but I have no issue seeing Mina as a bit of a bully. She loves attention, she knows Ami is an easy target, she bothers Ami, Ami gets mad. Most often silent mad. She eventually does start to snide back, even quite smartly! But they would rarely have that one to one moment I see almost every single one of the girls coming to throughout their friendship. So.... I don't see it, but it's mostly due to my unique perspective of each character.

💧🗡AmixHaruka: AHAHAHAHAHA. ur funny.

💧🌊AmixMichiru: you can refer to my reasoning on UsagixMichiru, srry Ami, you just ain't her type (not butch enough). Though, I do see them becoming really good friends as adults, once Michiru decided to chill tf out and act like a human being and Ami learns a bit more about 'how-to-human 101'. No, no's the answer. I don't see it.

💧🕒AmixSestuna: refer to UsagixSestuna.

Rei

🔥⚡️ReixMakoto: I can see y people like them.. but I can't help but see them driving each other crazy. Rei does not need a caretaker, why would she want a home-made lunch every day, if ramen cups were on sale 10 for 10$, like.. hello!? Ok for real, I can't see it. (Srry Ik I'm breaking so many hearts rn). They are too independent and honestly, they are also two real dumb hardheads when they want to be. Their problems would mostly stem from caretaking and activity coordination, they would fight over everything unless they write down a plan and schedule to stick to it. Also small side note, Rei is really not the cuddly person, while Mako is quite the opposite so that would feel pretty hard to make work without making one feel uncomfortable or the other feel unloved. So, overall, great friendship, but they cannot be living together without a peace maker to ensure they don't eat each other alive.

🔥💛ReixMinako: YES! they got it all! Fluff, check. Drama, check. Interesting and layered dynamics, check. Complex yet comprehensible human to senshi spectrum, check! Funny, CHECK! Even tho Makoami is my personal fav ship, these two (along with Harumichi) are my must ship. Like I NEED to see this, why is no1 making this in canon?! I love how layered their dynamics are, from being the leader and second in command, yet being emotionally mature enough to separate their human counter-parts from their duties, while still truly caring for each other in their own unique way. Getting on each other's nerves, giving off the vibes that they could either be 2 seconds away from kicking each others' asses to taking it to the bedroom (it's impossible to tell the difference). They are just supremely interesting, both alone, but especially together. I could go on and on, but I seriously have no notes, it is just ENDLESS possibilities and endless entertainment.

🔥🗡ReixHaruka: they're two dumb gays. I do not see either of them finding any attractive traits about the other. It's just really that simple and I don't have much to comment on it.

🔥🌊ReixMichiru: again it goes to the attraction factor mostly, though I can see Rei finding Michiru attractive, if a bit psychotic (lol, it's part of the charm). I would love to explore a relationship between the two, and I prob will in the future, but it will just default to platonic. This is really kind of it tho, the major factor for me not shipping a lot of stuff is that I tend to default to friendship instead of romance, cause they both act and feel very differently from each other.

🔥🕒ReixSestuna: r.r.r.r.... refeeeeerrrrr to UsagixSetsuna. Thank you for listening to Meioh102.5 back to you Bill.

Makoto

⚡️💛MakotoXMinako: I love their friendship!... thas about it tho. My major issue is Makoto not being able to keep up with Mina, she would need someone more mellow and low key. Unlike Mako, Rei is not afraid to tell Minako NO, while Mako easily guilts herself from denying attention or needs from her partner to give herself some space. I usually default them as being best friends basically (childhood friends in hc), but thinking about anything long term for them would just make me feel for Mako. Mina needs constant attention and distraction, which is honestly a bit out of her control also, but still draining for anyone who is not 100% willing to put their foot down or have enough energy to match hers. So, great great great friendship, I love how they play off of each other, but being in a relationship, living in the same house... would turn into chaotic exhaustion and desperation.

⚡️🗡MakotoxHaruka: I don't see it. I'm happy to see Mako having Haruka as possibly her first gay awakening, but I tend to think that's as far as it goes (while I see Mako as BI, I do think she looks for different attributes she finds attractive for each gender, mostly looking for more masculine attributes in guys and more feminine attributes in women). I also tend to imagine they have an almost irrational hate-on for each other for a while, 'til they chill out and become sparring buddies, so I find it hard to factor in a relationship on top of that. Kind of a pass for me.

⚡️🌊MakotoxMichiru: i feel like I'll be repeating myself a lot here, so I'll skip to it. TLDR; you ain't Michiru's type. I can see an underrated friendship that could spur after year of reconciliation, but it would stop at a platonic boundary.

⚡️🕒MakotoxSetsuna: I'm def repeating myself. Though, I'd actually love to see them sewing together, that'd be adorable.

Minako

💛🗡MinakoxHaruka: no, I don't see it at all, sorry. They are buddies. Haruka's Mina emotional wreck puppy, she loves her and must protect her at all cost, but would prob hate to have to deal with in a romantic relationship. Haruka can match Mina's energy and spirit, but in a much more charming and almost naïve package. I see the two hanging out on a Friday night enjoying some cheap beer lovingly complaining/gushing about their partner to each other.

💛🌊MinakoxMichiru: ahah, this one's quite funny too. You're lucky if they aren't trying to kill the other. They are just too smart for their own good and they are really the only senshi who refuse to see each other for anything less than Minako as Sailor Venus and Michiru as Sailor Neptune. Like when I say Mina and Ami don't get along, they are still considering each other as basically 4 different individuals (human and senshi), in order to prioritize the mission and in a way as a coping mechanism. But Michiru and Minako, even when they do manage to be in the same room not sniping at each other, they still refer to each other as their senshi selves, even if the name they are calling is their human name. ... srry that was a tangent, yeah, I don't see it at all. Sorry, I don't really have much interesting left to say.

💛🕒MinakoxSetsuna: this one's sort of popular weirdly enough.. I don't really get it, but yeah, refer to UsagixSetsuna.

The Outers

🗡🌊HarukaxMichiru: I mean, what can I even say about this one that hasn't been said already a million times. I consider them the true miracle romance of the show (yes, I like Usamamo, but Harumichi is much better written). I adore how they play off the stereotypical femme and butch roles, while saying yes, but actually no and just doing their own unique thing instead. I find Michiru's fascination with Haruka uniquely intriguing, with Michi being such a complicated character onto herself and Haruka being deceivingly simple-minded. They don't seem like characters that were made just for being with each other; their motivations, experiences and morals are quite different, yet they collide so beautifully and seamlessly. I love everything about them, such a good blend of fluff, drama, tragedy and romance. NO. NOTES.

🌊🗡🕒🎇Outers family (SetsHaruMichi) (with kid Hotaru): ok, extremely hot take incoming, get ready cause I don't think ur gonna like it... I'm not a big fan of the happy outers family. Sorry, I don't hate it (in fact I find it pretty cute), but it's just not what I default to. Let me put aside Setsuna for a second and just explain it plain and simple that I just simply see her as an omniscient being not interested in an corporeal relationship that could interfere with her mission. She's just not human like the others are. Now, let me talk about Hotaru real quick. I've got some problems with her character in general, but that doesn't really matter. I just can't deal with having a character that powerful at a ready for plot convenience, it just kills all the tension and bloats the cast. The only way I'm ok with Michiru and Haruka caring for Hotaru is having them come to the decision themselves. No pushing from the other senshi, no guilt-tripping and no senshi duty related bs. Hotaru is a regular child now with a dead father, the decision is on them to adopt this child or to let her move on to another loving family, otherwise I just can't see it as anything else but 2 almost child murderers redeeming themselves by caring for the child they tried to kill and that just isn't healthy for nobody. Anyhow, not really a ship, but sort of counts, I could like it, but rewrite Hotaru. Give the kid some justice, damn it!

Sobiesław "Gromsko" Kościuszko <headcanons p.1>

some headcanons about my polish fella, because he's so underrated!!!

! this part's about his pre-army life

tw: drugs, mention of relative's death, slight angst?? i dunno

Gromsko has been raised in a traditional polish household, around 90's.

He didn't have the best grades at school, I would even say that he was barely passing.

But anytime his mom gave him that worried look he promised her that his grades will get better. And they did. For a while.

Because, look, he was way much insterested in playing football with his frends and drinking beer and smoking cheap russian cigarettes in some abandoned places so his parents wouldn't find out.

Last thing on Earth he wanted was his mom to find out about smoking, really. And not because of the punishment.

"Sławciu! Why do I smell cigarettes on you, boy? Oh God, I already told you about how this is..."

Gromsko loved that woman so much, that he didn't want to dissappoint her. He didn't want to see that sadden look in her eyes.

"I know, I know. We were at that one friend's house and you know how much his dad is smoking. The smell got all over me."

"Mr. Ziemianowicz? Ah, right... I heard that he got diagnosed with lung cancer, no wonder why..."

"Baby, I found this lighter in your loundry, please don't tell me that..."

"Mamo, don't worry about that. We've been just making a campfire with the boys after school."

"Ah, right. Just be carefull out there, okay?"

Gromsko loved that woman so much, that when she died, his whole world fell into tiny pieces.

He was 17 at that time and without any support from his alcoholic father, or from anyone else, young Gromsko found comfort in drugs.

In result, he never graduated high school. He was an empty human shell, feeling nothing but numb.

At some point, Gromsko forgot about everything, even about his mom that he loved so much. Especially about mom.

One time, when he has been high as f^ck, almost uncontious, he was hallucinating. What he saw that day was a great hussar, a soldier with wings.

He don't remember much from that night, but one thing for sure: he cried a lot.

That hussar influenced him so much, Gromsko don't even know why, but he decided to change his life.

He went to rehab, quit drugs and joined the army.

He even got some tattoos for his first paycheck. Some patriotic stuff ("Polska Walcząca" tattoo!) and that hussar on a horse as a symbol of his change, inner healing.

And most important, his favourite piece, even it's the most simple. Gromsko got in in memory for someone special, to never ever forget about them again.

To never forget about his mama, not again.

Yo, I wish to God people would stop fucking fixating over the "age gap", especially when it's been grossly exaggerated. There's gap alright in their relationship, a severe maturity gap in the '90s anime. The "toxicity" comes from the dumbing down of Usagi to an absolutely infantile state in Sailor Moon SuperS and making it seem like Mamo's stuck in a relationship with a toddler. Thank you '90s anime writers for that mess. I understand that Mamoru really....

hurt Usagi badly in R during the break-up arc to the point, narratively speaking, you can argue, she never recovered. But let's not get it twisted. Usagi's behavior in SuperS was out of control and over-the-top with this creepy possessiveness that was OUT OF THIS WORLD (the anime played it for laughs). Everything and everyone was suspect of trying to steal her man and she could sometimes mistreat (you can argue abuse) Mamoru for the stupidest, petty shit you could imagine.

I just said this a few days ago.

The age gap is not the problem since on paper it’s three years and legally checks out. It’s the way it was written in the 90’s anime is the problem.

Lawd SuperS

My god SuperS.

I don't know how the hell I got through that season.

She got jealous of Ami when Mamo was helping her out with her homework.

She had a damn ninja outfit harassing the shit out of Rei for having inviting him to stay over the Shrine so he can finish his paper after they destroyed his apartment.

She also got mad at him for not saving her even tho he was going to do but Diana put her foot down because she wanted him to finish his paper.

( The first three happened in the same damn episode.)

She got jealous when he was helping Chibiusa with her homework and said one of the meanest shit she could every say to Chibiusa in the process.

Also the fact in SuperS movie she straight asked him do who do he love the most between her and chibiusa. ( Read My Usagi Jealousy of Chibiusa Essay!)

Getting upset at him offering his umbrella to an older woman who is old enough to be his grandma to shield her from the rain. I talked about this in length..

Thinking he was cheating on her with his mechanic

And it's really funny the two that was really was trying to slide into Mamo's DM's

She was nice to them...

She even said this when chibiusa was acting like a brat thinking she wasn't going to get born.

The bidders at my cookie shop

(i work at a cookie shop soooo😋)

Eisuke

he normally wouldn’t stand in line at a little cookie shop in the mall for a sub pare chocolate chip cookie but the cashier caught his eye (mc obv)

he is one of the only customers who doesn’t complain about the high prices bc he big balling

he first just wanted a chocolate chip cookie maybe a coffee too

but mc persuaded him to do the daily deal of buy 6 get one free

(an obv scam but she can bat her eyes at anyone and make them spend every penny there)

and Eisuke wasn’t any different, he actually bought one of everything

which had mc’s mouth on the floor

(she was honestly pissy bc there was a line forming behind him)

he would overly compliment mc which would have her rolling her eyes

she would try to walk to the back when she saw him coming but he would wait for her to come back up for his order to be taken

after times and times of trying to give her his number she finally takes it

eisuke’s fave cookies: koko creme + the chocolate chip

and ofc he loves mc’s coffee, literally creams for it

Baba

he would be a usual there

he also works in the mall

he works in the little magick shop all the way on the other side of the mall

but the walk is worth it to see the cute cookie shop cashier

(and he doesn’t mind walking, he got those long legs for a reason)

he knows mc by name and ALWAYS asks how mc is before ordering his cookies

he is very charming and subtly flirts to make sure she isn’t uncomfortable

he would always get a red velvet and a cheesecake brownie

(mc literally knows his order by heart he gets the same thing every time, bless his soul)

he usually asks when her break is and if she wants to head down to the food court during it

(she always says yes)

he always tries to pay for mc’s food (and he usually does if mc isn’t looking)

if mc is closing he walks the long way out the mall so he can say goodnight to her

Soryu

man isn’t a cookie person but inui dragged him here

he isn’t even a mall person but once again inui heard about the puppies in the mall and had to go, little did they know a quaint little cookie shop was by it

ofc they stopped when inui saw the spiderman cookie, which he had to get

Soryu ended up getting something like a double fudge brownie or a smores bar

he hits it off well with mc surprisingly, since he wasn’t much into small talk she did to mind taking his order

(other than his deathly stare that sorta scared her)

he really enjoyed the brownies and actually came back without inui

which had mc on edge since soryu didn’t have his little puppy dog beside him

he actually came later in the day so mc gave him some free chocolate chip which weirdly had him blushing

he devoured them, when inui tried to touch them he whipped out his gun

every time he goes back there he gets softer and softer for her

and develops an addiction to the double fudge brownies

Ota

he has a little art kiosk in the mall, he usually sells his art and sometimes draws people he see’s

his little kiosk was right by the cookie shop so he would stare all day at the cookie shop worker

he would watch her hair start to get messy and her take a breather after the long line of customers

he would draw her the most, her puppy dog eyes reminded him of his little dog koro

he would go up there everyday grabbing a yellow mellow and a large decorated cookie

he would usually pick the quirkiest one like the pumpkin with sunglasses

(even though its the middle of august)

and then two m&m cookies bc the splash of color reminds him of his water paintings

he would joke around with mc a lot

even across the mall from his kiosk

if mc had a loud customer he would look over at her with a concerned face

(he actually came up and put a guy in his place for yelling at her)

(he’s weirdly intimidating)

he put some drawings up of mc in his shop but she low-key never noticed

until he brought her one of his drawings of her

(she literally gave him like free cookies for a week bc of it)

Mamo

he isn’t a mall man it’s too much of a pain for him

but one day at the office some one brought in cookies and he was hooked ever since

he would go straight to the mall for the cookies every single day after work

he would usually get the monthly cookie, especially in august its his fave

the blueberry crumble✨

other than that he would get the peanut butter swirl or the sprinkles

he would die for the buttercream

he was usually grumpy so mc would draw little doodles on his coffee cup

(when she stopped he actually said something about it)

he would always try to request the ones straight out the oven, which mc caved multiple times and gave him piping hot ones

(which he burned himself on but played it off)

(now mc is super careful while handing him his cookies and even tosses a joke here and there about it)

he actually is the one that tips mc the best, like he always tips her every single time

(he tried to ask if they sold edibles before, mc was thinking about sneaking something special in her new batch)

Hikaru

he knows mc already and goes there everyday to make her life hell

(he obviously wants to eat her out)

he takes forever to order things even though mc always knows what he wants

but he continues to give her a hard time EVERYTIME

his order is always a watermelon cookie pizza and a peanut butter blossom with a dr pepper

but he likes the extra time he takes to talk to mc

he orders cookie cakes often and puts them under dumbass names like “ben dover” or “Anita dic”

mc once persuaded him to get the raspberry cream cookie and he was not in love with it

it was too “tart” for him

(which mc knew but wanted him to waste 5 dollars)

hikaru is one of those customers to bring up the price of the cookies everytime

“why is this shit 2.36 is there dope in it?”

“what dope are you smoking that is 2.36”

“not good shit”

in the end he is low-key obsessed w the cookies and HIGH-KEY obsessed with mc

Shuichi

after the plant shop he would always stop at the cookie place

usually as shu tho never shuichi

when she does see shuichi she thinks its so funny he has the same order as shu since there so different

chocolate chip pecan, a german chocolate brownie and a black coffee

shu always jokes with mc and usually flirts it up with her

(she really enjoys seeing shu he’s actually lowkey her favorite customer)

unlike shuichi which is her least fave, since how brass he is

he never acknowledges her as a person as shuichi but shu greets her very kindly everytime

every visit he takes, shu and shuichi slowly mold together

one day shuichi brings her a little succulent and thats when she puts two and two together

she gets really embarrassed and has a breakdown in the back

(but now she thinks he’s bipolar or has multiple personalities) (which is totally fine on a real note)

Rhion

very sweet boy and very soft spoken

mc can barely hear him over all the mall noise

his face is always red when he orders he can barely look at mc

but when he does look at mc, he stares

he works in the costume shop and sometimes wears masks to scare her if she doesnt see him coming

(she lowkey thinks he’s weird asf but he’s very kind and cute so she’s fine with him)

his order is a carrot cake cookie and a snicker doodle, he always gets stuff for his coworkers too bc he’s a sweetheart

he tries to give mc free costumes, really wanted her to be Alice for his mad hatter for the last three years in a row

she finally said yes

some days when he would come up to her in his mad hatter get up he would have more courage to talk to her

but she made sure he knew that he could talk to her either way and she would enjoy him

Luke

he would get the gluten free sprinkles

since this man on a PILL DIET LIKE BFFR

but eisuke brought him here and made him get a cookie and not only a coffee

so he went for the overly priced gluten free cookies

and stared at mc’s chest the whole time

he says its not creepy and he’s just admiring her bone structure

(which she still finds very creepy)

luke started to come on his own bc his new pill started being the gluten free sprinkle cookies

he would ask mc to be his model to study her bone structure (ngl she had her boss come out and serve him a couple of times bc she was a little uncomfy)

but one day he was actually the exact opposite, almost came in like he was lifeless which freaked her out a bit

(mf was malnourished asf)

mc literally hand fed him the cookies to make sure he ate

(mf was literally just buying cookies to let them stack up at his house)

girl tries her best to love her job

her favorite thing to do is ice the cookies while she hates to restock

she is a closer who workers many hours and usually spends the whole day at the shop

she literally runs the place lets be for real

her favorite would be the underrated koko swirl and oatmeal rasin

she would take long breaks with baba in the food court bc she deserved it after working opening to closing

she lowkey hates when baba pays for her so everytime she goes to the magick shop she tips extra so it feels like she’s paying him back

she always doodles a cat on her cup when she gets a drink, its her little thing so everyone knows the cup is hers

she gets along the best with her coworkers and honestly gets the best tips

she does have like 9 men fiening over her

which i mean she never really minds bc it helps with the tips

ota and rhion always try to give her cookie designs, which she usually listens too bc their gods with their hands

one time she took mamo in the back of her shop and smoked weed with him

she pretends to hate eisuke but she legit thinks he’s the biggest man candy in the world

7th Stage Special Interview - Taniyama Kisho (Translation)

"Let's "Ultrablast" together to create a live performance with a sense of unity that will rival that of the movie version!"

Please do not repost/retranslate.

Click read more for the full interview.

What did you think about the shooting for this pamphlet?

I'm glad we were able to shoot at a good tempo. I don’t usually wear yellow clothes, so the photo shoot made me feel like the “Uta☆Pri” live show is about to start again. But I also think that it’s a surprisingly fitting color. I’ve recently noticed that the colors of the teams I support in the NBA are all yellow. It felt a little bit like it was fate.

How did you feel when you first heard about the 7th STAGE?

I thought that everyone really loves "Uta☆Pri". I tend to be rather cynical, but I understand the fact that everyone is asking us to do so. However, since it will be held after the movie version, there will be more expectations than ever before, so that will be tough (laughs).

Please tell us your impressions of "Uta no☆Prince-sama! Maji LOVE Kingdom" after having watched the completed film.

It was greatly done, it managed to express what everyone wanted to see on screen. As a pioneer in male idol genre, I think “Uta☆Pri” should be the first to produce an animation of a live show of this quality. In terms of direction and camera work, “Egoistic” in which Natsuki participated was so cool that we wanted to try it ourselves if we could. I want to kick the birdcage! As for the song, I was happy that I was able to show my highest key.

How did you feel about the members of this special unit song?

I don’t think there is a member in “Uta☆Pri” who doesn’t have a strong ego, but even among them, I think the three of them are a unique combination. So, at first, no matter how much they sang or talked, it felt like “Yeah, we are really going to clash, aren’t we?”, but then I feel like they gradually started getting accustomed to each other. In reality, I wonder if “Even if we sing in dissonance, it’s precisely in that imbalance that something curious can be found.” In the end, I think we were able to create a charm because the three of us weren’t a natural perfect or the best fit.

Taking into account the drama part, it became a song through which you can feel Natsuki's inner strength.

That’s right. Although Natsuki is usually a natural airhead and a spontaneous person, it was surprisingly him who led the unit in the direction it took. He is thoughtful towards others, and perhaps he realized his own role by watching the two of them closely. I thought that it was interesting that as a result of the chemistry between the three of them, Natsuki was placed in a position he had rarely held in ST☆RISH. The key point is that Natsuki became the person he is today because he became one with Satsuki, not because he was capable of it from the beginning. It’s an important part of his personal “depth”.

Do you think that the release of your solo best album has helped you gain a renewed understanding and appreciation of your idol?

Certainly, it was an opportunity for me to become aware of my own emotional attachment toward Natsuki. I want to become more conscious of singing “as Natsuki” than before, and I think I have put all I can into the new song. The truth is, I even wanted to re-record all the songs.

By the way, what is the “Egoistic” thing that you want to say to “Uta☆Pri” ?

As my works have become more established, I have proven the significance of my existence, so I think my craving for the limelight isn't as strong as it used to be. But it would seem that it is not Na-chan or Sa-chan’s ego, but rather Kī-chan’s that causes me to add improvisation in the live performances (laughs). I light-heartedly think “Oh, Mamo (Miyano Mamoru) did an improv! Next, I’ll be the one to do it too~” The important thing is that we distribute it fairly between us and that everyone has fun. When I look at everyone, I see how much they shine and I think that’s great. I always want to make the live show more exciting by contributing what I can.

How did you feel about the performance of the group songs?

I like all of it so much that I can't point out one specific moment. “ULTRA BLAST” was a performance that showed that ST☆RISH could sing such hard songs while keeping their framework as idols.

The fans’ “fanchants” were also powerful.

I thought it was a good initiative to unite everyone and share the same groove, as one would expect from an idol’s live presentation. As for me, I'm especially happy to hear people shouting the group name “ST☆RISH.'' It makes me feel like, “That's right, we are ST☆RISH!'' (laughs). After all, I don’t want to forget the pride of being the first group in the “Uta☆Pri” series.

What was the most memorable part of the last song and encore?

I like “Maji LOVE Kingdom” because it reminds me of the good old idol songs of the Shōwa era *[1926-1989]. At any rate, the stage performance with all three groups together was a thrilling sight. It's heart-warming to see how the trajectory depicted in the TV series has been integrated into this movie version.

All the costumes were unique, but were there any that caught your attention?

I love the costume for “Egoistic” so much that I want to wear it myself.

Natsuki might originally want to go for something like “Colorfully Spark”, but he's tall and would surprisingly look good in the black robe of “Sōai Träumerei.'”

Please tell us about some of the most memorable moments from past live performances.

With this kind of thing, the bad memories are more vivid than the good ones. Although I only have myself to blame, my form at the 3rd STAGE was the worst. However, I’ve been keeping it bottled up inside me for a long time, but just the other day I had a chance to look at the footage and was relieved to see that it wasn't as bad as I was expecting it to be. Nevertheless, I would like to perform the duet song “Still Still Still” with Mamo again. That was at the end of 2013, and I quit smoking right after the new year started. It's been six years since I quit smoking and I'm really glad I stopped, not only for my personal music activities, but also for expressing Natsuki's existence and talent through singing.

What do you want to say right now to the idol who will be your partner in the live performance?

To “descend.” Because I believe that if I can have even a little bit of Natsuki's mind inside me on the day of the live concert, everyone will appreciate it.

Finally, a message to "Uta☆Pri" fans who purchased this pamphlet!

Let's "Ultrablast" together to create a live performance with a sense of unity that will rival that of the movie version!

UsaMamo Week 2023 - Master Post

Thank you to everyone who participated, reblogged, commented, liked and gave kudos. Thank you to everyone who was a beta / cheerleader behind the scenes. This event turned out amazingly well and we are so happy to see both new faces and some old friends participate this year. (And don't forget about our "Meet the Creators" series, to learn a little more about people in this fandom)

To make sure none of the amazing works that have been created for this UsaMamo Week have been missed, we have compiled them all into this master post (in alphabetical order by the creator):

Stories:

@caelenath - UsaMamo Week 2023 - Day 4: Beach

The whole situation was any red-blooded man's dream—nine gorgeous women in swimwear, a dreamy sunset, and a legitimate excuse to ogle them from every angle.

But he had eyes for only one...

@daikon1 :

Moon Sake Bottle Action!

Somehow at a houseparty with Usagi, Mamoru feels totally out of his depth - until Minako suggests they liven things up a bit. But can an unusual talent for carnival games be leveraged into a kiss with his crush??

A Royal Audience

Once upon a time, there was an extremely self-centered mentor...

Ten Ways to Say 'I Love You'

A portrait of Usagi and Mamoru’s relationship over the years, told in letters, poems, and journal entries.

There Was Only One... Stowaway on the School Beach Trip

It was the perfect summer scheme... and then Mamoru had walked into the train compartment.

Mamoru's Anxiety: A Love Letter for Usagi!

Filling in a 'missing scene' from Usagi's Joy: A Love Letter From Tuxedo Mask - What does Mamoru think about Usagi receiving a love letter from his alter-ego?

Keyrings, and Chaos, and Gender Expectations, Oh My!

Galaxia may have been defeated, but the patriarchy is still alive and well. With some help from Sailor Moon, Mamoru has a few things to say about that!!

Fe(e)line

As Tsukino Usagi awoke one morning from pleasant dreams, she found herself transformed in her bed into an adorable kitty.

@goddessalthena :

Dear Mamo-chan

"I'll write. And I'll call," he promised. "So...I expect you to write me all the time."

"...I will," she vowed.

But only one of them kept their word.

Picture Perfect

It was a perfect day. Almost too good to be true.

Usagi & Mamoru share a few firsts as they bask in the first blush of young love.

@kaitoscarlett - The words I couldn't say

After their first night together, Usagi finds herself waking up alone in Mamoru's apartment. While waiting for him, she explores his book shelf and finds something, she probably shouldn't read.

@lilliebellfanfics :

Day 1: Kiss Game

Summary: Usagi and Mamoru are chosen as the next contestants in Minako's pop-up competitions. They expect something weird and zany like the previous ones... not a kissing game. Well, kissing or not, Usagi says bring it on.

Day 4: There was only one...

Usagi's investigating a series of energy bursts at Tokyo Dome City amusement park. With so many unknowns--what was the source of the energy? Was it Zoisite or a new enemy?--the last thing she wants to do is share a ride on the Ferris wheel with Mamoru.

Day 7: Midnight / Fireworks

"One thing I love about prompts is they get me writing for my WIPs! I bring you another scene from DFD, but this is much much later than the current arc. For reasons, Usagi ends up staying at Mamoru's place. Things get hot & steamy, and here's a scene from somewhere in the middle."

Day 5: Free Day

The Tsukino clan are about to hit the slopes as the next part of their winter competition. Usagi is a clear winner and she's excited to beat Shingo on the double black diamond and win points for her team... only Mamoru's never skied before. Shit.

(Also Christmas Markets and kissing)

@master-ray5 - Lips Of An Angel

Mamoru gets a call on his lunch break from his Ex in Japan.

@random-mailbox - Love Letter (Poem)

Poem inspired by the Stars arc in the Anime

@riverlethe - Game Night

Minako organizes (by throwing together at the very last minute) Game Night to help the senshi blow off some steam on a rare night off.

Rei picked a small red box up off the table. “‘Love Letter’?” she grimaced. “This is going to be a long night, isn’t it?”

@sailormoonandme - Year of the Rabbit. UsaMamo Week 2023

Unbeknownst to anyone else, Serenity and Endymion arrange a secret rendezvous on the beach. Manga Canon.

@speak-mnemosyne1 :

Trust

In a dark, cramped space with stifling air, something in the chemistry between two people transformed. The universe fell away and, in those seven minutes, actions had no consequences.

But this.. this felt more like Seven Minutes in Hell.

Magnolias

For the prince of Earth, there was only one girl in the entire Solar System with whom falling in love was forbidden..

Present

“Just for a year… but I may end up staying longer than that.” Mamoru tried to swallow back the words as they left his mouth. He hated lying to Usagi, hated the way her blue eyes looked up at him with oceans of love.

@spei-sidus :

Lucky Bunny

Day 1: Year of the Rabbit / Kiss Game

Forgiven

Sailor Moon is forgiven by Tuxedo Kamen for Serenity's final actions

An Ode to the Rose

Valentine's Day is coming up and the girls decide, since they weren't giving chocolates to anyone, to write love letters to give to their future boyfriends.

The Binoculars

A day at the beach leads Mamoru to ask Usagi out.

Free Day

Neo Queen Serenity goes back in time to go on a date with First Season Mamoru.

Like a Fairy

An injured Usagi leads the nijizuishou to not only replenish her energy, but also form the Ginzuishou.

Who are you?

If anyone knows my mamo could you please tell them that I'm sorry. I offered to be friends because I had such a huge crush on them but usually in the past if I chased after someone it always ended badly for me. what I should have said was you're really cute and I was wondering if you'd like to go out with me. Even if it's just a date on the computer. maybe you don't want to be friends. maybe you actually want to be more than friends. I wasn't sure what to say because I've tried so many times to get you to open up because you can trust me, but every time I try I feel like I just keep running into walls. It's okay, believe me I understand. But whatever it is you really want, what your heart truly wants. I'm here for you, I'll always be here for you and you can tell me anything and I promise I'll never judge you for it. I love you unconditionally and my offer of course, that is if that is something you truly want, still stands. You don't have to be perfect, you just have to be who you are inside because those are the things that matter the most to me. Whatever it is you need to know about me, my past, my preferences, how the heck I wound up where I am today I'll tell you.

All you have to do is reach out to me even if it feels uncomfortable or scary. I've got you. you're not alone.

I finished Sailor Stars!

That season was a train wreck :D

Wowie okay so um what to say. Well for one thing the ending made no sense. The Galaxy couldron was nonexistent so WOOO ten points to me for being right :D

The only part I legitimately liked was that Mamoru put up a fight and talked trash to Galaxia's face before she nuked him :D But no Usagi literally found out in such a crappy way. Bruh.

Uhhh what else what else. Uhhh I mean Galaxia was so badly written I don't even know what to say. And they didn't use Chibi Chibi correctly. They did however give us this.

F in the chat for fans of Sailor Cosmos. Though she isn't revealed to even be Sailor Cosmos until act 60 so uh idk yea. But like it also literally makes no sense to even show this since they say Chibi Chibi is Galaxia's star seed so yeeaaaaa

No epic space battle. The fight just takes place in a building in the middle of Tokyo. Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Yea no this wasn't an experience I enjoyed. I'm not even gonna lie I skipped through anything that didn't interest me.

And now I guess I completed Sailor Moon...?

I'll rank the seasons

Sailor Moon (season 1): 6.5/10

Honestly was enjoying a lot once I got used to the formula they used for the series. They took a long ass time introducing the senshi and when Usagi was revealed as the Princess it could have been handled better. They developed more minor characters like Naru and Shingo which I enjoyed. and Usagi's dynamic was fun though Mamo was particularly rude. But as the season went on (at least up to episode 35) the two became enjoyable to watch and comparable to their manga counterparts. But then Evil Endy happened and I was hating my life :D

Sailor Moon R: 7.5/10

Filler with Ail and An was like really dumb. BUT I got to see Mamoru and Usagi have more time together and fall in love again. But like also I did skip stuff there. When it got to the Black Moon I was actually pretty invested. Black Moon had the best opening visuals. And honestly the break up arc was a strong point of the arc looking back. I know I roasted Mamo for his actions but if anything it proved how much he really wanted to be with Usagi especially in the Sleeping Beauty episode. Chibiusa was pretty much just as she should be. Mamo got no powers. I liked that they gave redemption arcs to the Supernatural sisters. Black Lady was somewhat rushed. Diana was nonexistent and we barely saw any of the 30th Century. Plus Chibiusa never earned her powers as a Sailor Guardian on screen. The ending is a complete blur for me.

Sailor Moon S: 5.5/10

Mamousa in this season was honestly peak from start to finish. However literally everything else sucked 😅 The daemons were weird as hell. The Witches 5 were crazy. Haruka and Michiru were unfortunately jerks and that never changed in this season. Mugenzu academy was introduced waaaaaaaaayyyy too late. The inner senshi were constantly ragging on Usagi. Not to mention Usagi was treated terribly by the writers. Hotaru was cool I guess. The pure heart crystals was DUMB they spent way too long looking for Talismans. I liked the redemption of professor Tomoe. But Chibiusa never got to be Super Sailor Chibi Moon.

Sailor Moon Super S: 5/10

I was starting to like it towards the end but then it completely fell apart because they botched my favorite arc. Everything I loved about this arc, they took away. The Sailor Senshi were not princesses, they didn't have Sailor crystals, They ignored the fact that the Golden Crystal is Mamoru's, Usagi never earned her Eternal powers, Artemis, Luna and Diana never turned human. But what did we get in this arc? Well we have creepy and ridiculous circus lemures, we have adult men going after children and invading their dream mirrors. We have awful characterization of the main cast which would make anyone hate them. The Mamousa was good but it could have been better. Chibiusa was falling for a horse with wings before she knew he was a human.

Sailor Moon Sailor Stars: 4/10

Not gonna make this long. As for Nehellenia filler, it was good but also like why? The only redeeming thing about Stars arc was the sliver of Mamoru Usagi content we got and the senshi actually seemed to love and care for Usagi.

So um yea I finally watched the 90s anime! But my overall experience was such a mixed bag. Some of it was just plain bad, some of it was legitimately good, some of it was cringe af and some of it was cute. Will I watch the series again? No. No I will not.

Since I've watched the anime I've earned the right to this opinion:

Sailor Moon Manga >>>>> Sailor Moon Crystal (+eternal) >>>>>>>>>>>> 90's Sailor Moon anime

And now all I want is to watch Sailor Moon Cosmos 😩

I actually disagree that Mamo has a bad singing voice. Both Azzy and Mamo's VAs, Miura Ayme and Hirotaka Kobayashi respectively, are really good at singing and I love listening to both of them sing. Miura being a VKei artist, and Koba-san from time to time singing on his streams as well as covering "Read My Heart". I personally want to be serenaded by both Mamo and Azzy!

It’s weird - losing a parent you’d spend five hundred years trying to find. It wasn’t their time to bond, Katherine having been dosed with the cure was sign of that for sure and while Nadia had spent most of her life angry and frustrated with Katherine , the pain she felt now watching her mother take her last breaths was more intense than she’d ever experienced.

“It’s okay mama, your suffering will be over soon”

Placing a soft kiss on Katherine’s forehead, keeping her promise to be here until the very end.

“I don’t know how much you can hear - or understand, and I don’t want you to waste a breath trying to intervene - just let me say this.

I forgive you, for doing what you needed to do to survive, i forgive for not wanting to get to know me when i first arrived, and I forgive you for not being able to find me. I know you tried - I believe you”.

All hard exterior was breaking down , the younger brunette swiped a tear from her face before it dropped down into the others hair , there was no magic fairy tale ending for them - they were alone together and soon Nadia would be simply alone.

“obicham te mamo”

If My Muse was dying in Your Muse’s arms, what would your muse tell mine?

She's too weak to speak. She can't even move. But if she could say one last thing to Nadia, it would be-

"Thank you, for being my daughter, and for wanting me even though I was never good to you. You deserved better- but I have always loved you, even if I wasn't the best at showing it."

I watched Kimetsu in theaters 😭💞 it was sooooo good, i'm so excited for the next season. Here's my Impressions so don't read if you don't want to be spoiled.

They give a booklet at the entrance containing a short lore recap, staff commentary, keyframes of the Upper Moons and a Setsubun postcard ("Demons out! Fortune in!" ... why is Zenitsu playing the demon when Nezuko is right here??? Well I guess I wouldn't have the heart to throw her beans either... but....)

It started with a short recap of season 1 with Gurenge playing in the back, then Mugen Train with Akeboshi, then a recap of season 2 until the last two episodes that were screened again in their entirety.

I think rewatching them on the big screen made me appreciate them more - I watched it a lot of time already, but I cried again at Gyuu and Daki's last moments. I love how the lightwork is done in this scene, Ume always in the light but ultimately joining Gyuutarou in the dark... it's beautiful 😭

Then after Zankyou Sanka played, finally Swordsmith Village arc started!!

Episode 1 is one hour long.

It starts with the Upper Moon meeting and WOW ... Infinity Castle is BEAUTIFUL and extremely stylish. I was impressed with the camera work- usually I am not a huge fan of 3D and 2D mixed together but this was so well done, I was really in awe. Especially I have in mind a shot of Akaza with the camera panning up, it looked so smooth! Maybe it's evil of me lol but I had in mind Chainsaw Man anime which tried and, most often failed at incorporating 2D characters into 3D environments... Ufotable gave us a lesson in how to do it masterfully IMO.

(They are still not forgiven for the ugly Enmu tentacles in Mugen Train. But I Almost forgive them because Infinity Castle looked that amazing. Makes me look forward to the final arc...!)

The whole scene had that pressuring, stressful feeling to it- you can Feel how dreadful Muzan is even to the Upper Moons and I really liked that. The weird camera work due to Infinity Castle's messed gravity added to that uncomfortable atmosphere.

Mamoru Miyano as Douma is ... well... what you'd expect of Mamo lol- and I feel this character enables him to perform in that over-the-topness that fits him so well, so him and Douma are a match made in heavens.

Kousuke Toriumi is Gyokko, I felt odd about it but it works, he's gross and gives me kimochi warui feelings so it's a success lol. Seeing the mouths and eyes animated adds to the grossness.

Toshio Furukawa is Hantengu!!!!! I'm so excited!!! I'm sorry but I have a huge Furukawa bias, especially lately, so I'm glad he took on a new role... in Kimetsu no less...! And again it might be my bias lol but his acting breathed a lot of life into a character I never paid much attention to. It's exciting! IDK if he'll dub all the Hantengus or just the tiny wrinkled one... I hope he gets to play them all and show off in a cool role again 😤

Marina Inoue is Nakime. And well... we don't hear her much. But actually hearing the Biwa really adds to the unsettling feeling of the scene.

And finally Okiayu Ryoutarou is Kokushibou. FINE! I believed Koku would be dubbed by Tsudaken to the very end...😭 But Okiayu's Koku had that terrifying air of greatness to him, I love how he performs the signature slow speech, so I approve of him 😤 (who cares about my approval really.)

Anyways, Upper Moon meeting was a huge flex all around- the music, the animation, the camera work, the lights, the characters - it makes the Infinity Castle, And Muzan, as huge and terrifying as they should be. And IMO it will make the last arc much clearer to understand.

(i think during the commentary Shimono and Kitou had said something about demons showing up and getting lost in there because it's so huge😂)

Then the focus switches to Tanjirou's dream of Sumiyoshi and Yoriichi. The way Yoriichi appears mirrors the way Kokushibou is introduced - focusing on his back, his hair color, his earrings, and finally his face. Kokushibou looking absolutely terrifying with loud orchestra music in the back, Yoriichi appearing calm and (apparently) serene in a quiet dream. This was very well done, and effectively tricked my anime-only friend who watched with me into thinking they are the same person 😂 Well done!

IIRC Sumiyoshi wasn't dubbed by Hanae? I'm not too sure. But otherwise looked the exact same as Tanjirou down to the color palette.

Tanjirou wakes up and events unfold just like in the manga. A bit more of focus on Gotou, and Kanao is really cute in that scene, it's good hearing her raise her voice.

We see Inosuke departing on a new mission, and Zenitsu who has already left to one. Of course he's crying and complaining, but he's wearing a cute scarf with a pattern reminiscing of Chuntarou. Cute!

We get good panoramic shots of the Swordsmith Village which...makes me want to travel frankly. I need to go to a hot springs soon haha. Some added scenes I think of Tanjirou watching the Swordsmiths at work, praising their skills and showing gratitude.

Mitsuri is still introduced through the onsen scene- but this time we get a butt shot and a front shot panning up from her crotch to her face. Nice. (important commentary)

Mitsuri is like, a role made for Kana Hanazawa lol, she just sounded really cute in every scene, but also serious when needed. Her complaining about Genya ignoring her then quickly changing her mood when dinner is mentioned was cute. The 'Kanroji Mitsuri supports the Kamado siblings!' line was really good as well. I think special care was put into the scenes where she interacts with Nezuko, I like the way their hands were animated, and the focus put on them in the scene where Mitsuri mentions her own siblings. I'm glad Nezuko has someone giving her affection that isn't Tanjirou. As Kitou said she's always surrounded by boys so this was really cute and heartwarming.

When Mitsuri runs to Tanjirou and he yells 'Watch out! Your chest is going to show!', he catches her and fixed her kimono so her boobs are tucked in again. Tanjirou is such a good boy ... what a cute scene lol. I also liked the way she whispers into his ear and he tries to keep silent through his nosebleed. A Good Boy indeed.

Then Tanjirou finds a tooth in the bath...

Finallly... At last.... Genya!!!! 😭💞 I got so excited seeing him at last!!! I was so worried because on every piece of promo art he has been so far, he's drawn so weird, I guess to match his appearance from the manga, but I'm really glad it was updated as well to match his design from this arc in the manga... He looks so good, so handsome, I'm sorry I have a Genya bias, he's one of my favourite so my heart leaped when I saw him 😭

The timing of the scene was fast paced, but well done! Tanjirou reminisces the boy he met at Final Selection, shouts his full name, and strips- this is where the eyecatch is (the eyecatch's illustration is a naked Tanjirou with his crotch covered by a crow lol.)

And of course he is told 'Die!' immediately as his head is pushed into the water... Even if it pains me because Genya is always compared to Bakugou and it's dumb and I Hate It, I Have faith in Nobuhiko Okamoto to deliver us a good Genya! He didn't say much but I liked it! A very genya like 死ねえ!!! Thank you!

I want to watch it again, it was fast so I didn't get to look at how Genya's body is drawn enough...😤 it sounds weird but, I wanted to take a good look at his scars...

Anyways, the episode ends with Tanjirou looking for the mysterious weapon Mitsuri mentioned and stumbling upon Muichirou, Kotetsu (dubbed by Ayumu Murase I think?), and the Yoriichi doll, which only the back can be seen, making Tanjirou (and the anime-only viewer. rubbing my hands together evilly at my friend who went Ooohhh!!!! next to me in the theater.) mistake it for an actual person. There's focus on the earring of course, and it's a great way to end the episode, tying the doll's cliffhanger appearance with Kokushibou's introduction and Yoriichi's appearance in Tanjirou's dream, tricking you into thinking they are all the same person... Well done ufotable well done...

Finally, the opening plays - by Man with a Mission (one of my favourite bands!!! wowie!!) and Milet. I don't have much to say because it was so fast paced lol, but it was good! They do the thing again where Tanjirou + the hashira of the arc, here Mui and Mitsuri, look together in the same direction. A slight spoiler right? Rengoku san....😭😭😭

Right, also about the opening! I wish Genya showed up more. Did we see his gun? I don't remember. He gets a short sequence and is seen again in the end in a group shot of the cast. (shut up about Genya. shut up about Genya.)

After that there was the cast commentary and appearance of the cute Kamaboko chibi mascots, them all together making a little ceremony celebrating officially the beginning of Kimetsu World Tour😌

And that was it!

I'm so excited I'm going to die. I almost want to go again LOL i want to tattoo every frame Genya appears in my brain 😤😤😤

#kimetsu no yaiba #kny spoilers #sorry for the weird formating. tumblr mobile is hard #and sorry for the mistake i typed fast trying to remember

That stupid Reddit topic about that person finding Sailor Galaxia from the 90s anime more intimidating and scary succinctly shows the constant need to shoehorn praise for anything pertaining to the original anime. Like that facebook group you mock, it's THAT blatant. Sailor Galaxia is actually far MORE active in the manga and Cosmos and isn't entirely reliant on her minions as seen by her eviscerating much of the Guardians and Mamoru in the snap of a finger. Whereas, in the 90s anime....

Sailor Galaxia does nothing until the very end of Sailor Stars. The 90s anime ignores one important character motivation: much of what she does in the manga/Cosmos is to torment Usagi (psychological warfare) to force her to come to her home turf and take the Silver Crystal. I don't understand to snobbery coming from Reddit "critiquing" (yeah right) the animation and her new voice actress. Megumi Hayashibara is a prolific seiyuu. Right up there with Kotono Mitsuishi. She does a great job IMHO.

Yeah this don't look intimidating...

None of this look like " I'm about to fuck you up!"

None of her in this photoset looks intimidating..

I swear these folks.

They will not let the 90's anime go for shit to enjoy other versions.

Because 90's anime Galaxia did shit for the whole damn season until the last couple episodes. The only thing she did up to killing the girls and the confrontation was to kill Mamo which happen offscreen. She just sit on that damn chair and did shit. And the 90's anime did a fucking cop out again by saying she was possessed by Chaos and redeeming her.

Could we just a villain for once who just want to fuck up the hero's shit without being possessed?

Who just want want to play chess with the hero?

That is Manga/Cosmos Galaxia to the max and it 's glorious.

Sure I like villains who get redeemed but I love villains who just want to fuck up shit!

And that's Galaxia!

She is playing chess/cat and mouse with Usagi the whole fucking arc!

" I'm coming to fuck up all your shit girl!!"

I saw the leaked clip when she takes out Mamo and all she does is fucking laughs in USAGI'S FACE and leaves with his Star Seed.

That laugh was deranged as fuck!

How fucking deranged can you get?

Then the whole arc ,she and her Sailor Animamates are taking out her sisters left and right, leaving her alone with just her new Allies to travel to Galaxia. With Usagi Psyche is getting more fucked up as each girl is getting turned into sand.

I mean she went to the Outers damn crib to take them out!!

Galaxia was like " If you want me, You have to come to my house to get me! I aint coming to you. I come to you fuck up your shit but the fight is happening in my crib. You want revenge ,met me at Galactica Palace on Sagittarius Zero Star at 5 o'clock! I'll be waiting "

And she does that because she trying to get her close to Chaos.

Galaxia knows that Chaos is using her so she is using him right back. She's like " Hmm Everyone is trash. I come from a trash planet and want to be the strongest senshi in the galaxy! Chaos and Sailor Moon can take each other out and I be ruler of the Galaxy. Sounds like a plan. Let's go!"

This is a bad bitch and her bad bitchness does not end.

So along the way to her crib, she still got her people at different planets taking out Usagi's new found allies. Like freaking blowing up and IMPALING her new allies until she is left with the cute pink small one.

So she finally reaches to Galaxia crib, Galactica Palace on Sagittarius Zero Star at 5 o clock where Galaxia is like.

She told her where she was at and everything and then she had a surprises for her.

"Since you came all this way My dear, I got a surprise for you!"

Boom!

Mamoru

The another surprise

Boom!

Her sisters

What supposed to be a happy reunion/ happy ever after turn into a freaking horror show thanks to Galaxia reanimating them into gotdamn corpses thanks to her damn bracelets.

"Let the fun begin Sailor Moon!" and she's fucking with her again! While Usagi, who she thought was her fam is attacking her with Galaxia attacks. That her own child had to tell her that it not them. Which she had to heartbreaking destroys with her attack.

Which after she does Galaxia is Like " Oh yeah! Their crystal went into the cauldron! If you want them back you got to fight me!"

Which Usagi is like" Lets go bitch!"

And they throw hands!!

All the while taunting her ass with Corpse Mamo by letting him kiss Galaxia boot and everything which she still running up on her to show her the biz.

Then just to still want to fuck with Usagi some more, she throw him into the cauldron which Chibiusa fades.

Which actually this is the moment where Galaxia really breaks Usagi because she thinks she lost everyone to the Cauldon.

Where Usagi is like " Fuck it. I'm done I really lost everyone.

But what does Usagi do

SAVES GALAXIA FROM CHAOS ATTACK TWICE

And when Galaxia ask why this what Usagi says

Like What!

This woman is the reason why she is alone and the reason why she saved her because she doesn't want to lose any more Sailor Senshi and be alone even tho SHE is the reason why the Sailor Senshi are gone because she was hunting them down for the Star Seeds for Chaos.

WE DO NOT DESESEVE USAGI TSKINO PERIOD!

WE DO NOT!

But the way Usagi is like " I'm so done. I lost everyone I love." is heartbreaking and this woman did it her for Chaos and she's saving her.

Which Galaxia realized what a bright star she is when thanks to ChibiChibi which Usagi decides to not give up and

Galaxia fucked Usagi up to the bone and was the only one out of the whole series that almost got redeemed. ( But hell it's a possibility she gets reborn in the Cauldon)

From " Sailor Moon I'm about to Fuck all your Shit Up! I'm coming for everything you love."

to " Sailor Moon You have went through so much and you still have faith. I have found my Star. You shine so bright."

Like! COME ON!!!

That's better than a damn hand shake!

The fact it was said that the animators had to reanimate a scenes in cosmos because her and Kotono was straight up going at it while they was recording.... The fact that this woman is a legend in her own right as much as Kotono... Article is here.

Source

Your work is so damn good that they have to reanimate scenes to fit the performance because you are vet to the game but you are not "intimidating enough" to the 90's anime counterpart.

I mean look at her roles..

Legend as much as Kotono.

Also already was apart of the SM fam.

They are so full of it.

Also this answer a question I had in my in box for a while.

And also these If I think about it.
