sailor moon liveblog episode 20 (I skipped 19 because im too tired for that shit right now)
omg omg i think the next episode is The One That Had Nothing To Do With The Main Plot
and that's the most beautiful thing that exists
particularly in context of my ongoing analysis effort of Everything Usagi
tsuki no hikari ni michibikare~
I will forever love Usagi's enthusiasm in the opening when she says 'I don't look like a superheroine, but I am!' (but no child you do look like one you're the defining superheroine of my childhood)
Ami's summer outfit is the best actually I love all of their summer outfits but Ami is just special oh right its the weird one week summer holidays or something? how it works in Japan?
Usagi is dreaming of being tan and I can't help but note that I like this particular beauty standard
Usagi omfg got very distracted no but seriously why is everyone so shitty to her they just. leave her behind as she's lost in her dreams im the slow autistic (tm) and i tend to space out and lose track of what's happening and i have been hiking since i was 5yo and listen. trailing behind everyone trying to catch up is my worst nightmare. when everyone stops to rest and let you catch up but when you, going at your top speed, exhausted, arrive, is exactly when everyone else, refreshed and rejuvenated, stands up and goes on
like i should probably not project my feet issues on Usagi (SURPRISE IT TURNS OUT MY WHINING ABOUT MY LEGS HURTING WAS NOT IN FACT ABOUT THE SAME SHIT EVERYONE ELSE WAS GOING THROUGH AND MY MOM HAD NO IDEA)
but goddammit STOP LEAVING MY GIRL BEHIND YOU FUCKS YOU DON'T DESERVE HER
honestly 99% of my feelings towards Usagi are bitter bitterness towards everyone around her except like. Naru
aww Usagi so tired she's lost any and all control whatsoever sniping at Rei, screaming at the sight of a little kid she does not atually normally complain this much this is no-filter tired!Usagi
also Ami is the sweetest creature known to men 'are the flowers okay?'
these creatures are genuinely spooky it's kind of interesting to analyze how Ami and Rei aren't reacting to their appearance at all while Usagi is freaking out this is the Weirdness Filter - when people just assume that the weird thing has a perfectly ordinary explanation and anyway if it doesn't affect them it might as well be ordinary either way
also I love how Ami immediately picks up on the fact the girl is being treated badly
Rei is too distracted by Usagi, Usagi is too distracted by EVERYTHING IS SCARY
and here's Luna chiding Usagi for making a commotion
you know when I was a kid I thought of myself as being a bad student and lazy. I got nearly all perfect marks and the only person who was better than me was my best friend but all I could think was 'i am worse than her' bc my mom was ~in a very bad place~ at the time and more or less did nothing but criticize and tear me down for everything that went the least bit wrong
I think back to my kid years and I just feel so weirded out by all the self esteem I was missing back then. like I'm sorry but I was kind of awesome??? and like. the only person who would tell me that was my grandma who lives in a different fucking country and visits twice a year. her praise did not exactly impact my daily life much
my point is FUCK OFF LUNA USAGI IS GREAT AND PERCEPTIVE
she is freaking out because she is paying attention okay
poor kid
omfg Rei 'it's incredibly cheap!' why do you think
'costumes of the employees' see this is what im talking about Usagi is perceptive enough to understand it's not costumes Rei is I guess perceptive enough to know they aren't a threat regardless? but she doesnt comfort Usagi either beacuse OF COURSE WHY WOULD ANYONE COMFORT USAGI EVER
aaaAAAAAAAAA I WANT SUMMER BEACH AND WAVES SO MUCH I LOVE BEACH SO MUCH also hee Usagi still has her bow-decorated swimsuit <3
also Usagi had failed to quite grasp what 'private beach' means XD
Usagi is really wise like normally I'm against snatching books from people but Usagi is very right
also oh my god Rei "Usagi is for once saying something reasonable" more like "for once I take a break from tearing down Usagi for long enough to notice that things she's always saying are actually Not Wrong"
man I hate this kind of "you doing not bad is an unexpected exception" verbal abuse shit so much
also girls why do you think knocking over Usagi is fun??? jfc she's the designated punching bag of the group wtf
this is the kind of fun where you end up feeling like 'wow that sure was a normal teenage thing that just happened to me! i totally fit in! they laughed and there were no freakouts so clearly that was Fun(tm)'
Usagi is really good at seeing the best in situations and loving her friends selflessly but holy shit she's being put through so much fuckery
I absolutely love that this anime just kinda casually includes a werewolf, a frankenstein's monster and a vague monster creature in one episode without them being either explained or ever brought up again
hm so here's Rei and Ami independently stumbling across some secrets how bout my Usa-chan
man Ami knows all about recognizing loneliness doesn't she ...makes me wonder how her parents treat her. i dont think her family is ever featured ever and i also dont think its for no reason
AND AMI'S SOLUTION FOR LONELINESS IS FOR EVERYONE TO BEFRIEND USAGI GOD BLESS HER CLUELESS BUT APPRECIATIVE HEART the one person who realizes how much emotional labor Usagi's ready&willing to do for anyone ever
this guy is such a good portrayal of an abusive parent. hes technically doing all the parent things, never going more than /slightly/ over the edge, so if the girl complained to anyone it would never sound like anything really bad was happening to her. he sounds so reasonable and caring and his selfish motivations are so obvious
so hey theres Usagi literally stumbling upon something scary omfg Rei are you seriously that oblivious 'normal human beings' omg well hey at least she feels the kid psychic
ahh!!! Ami busts in to protect the kid!!! oh hey the point where the girl has had enough <3
what I wanna note here is that Usagi and Rei's roles here are 'the person who actually gets what's going on and resonates emotionally with the locals' and 'the clueless sceptic outsider' also that when terrified out of her fucking mind Usagi still obediently pulls out her moon stick sailor soldier indeed there is nothing about this that is fair to her but she manages still
Usagi is the one of the girls whose life became only worse since Luna came and I'm not going to stop reiterating that
and her father is capable of /some/ actual caring he's not black and white but his actions are and it's very well done
I kind of wish the senshi could do more to help, I vaguely dislike the idea of their powers /only/ being useful to combat their Designated Foes
Rei and Ami picking on Usagi is genuinely actually really not fun even if Usagi's capable of making the best out of it
