#thanks again mamo for that one
Note
Hi Sas Milledge!!
I recently picked up a copy of your book, Mamo, in my local library by fluke and it was absolutely life changing, I immediately made my wife read it, then proceeded to make all my closest co-workers read it (and I work in a funeral home so you can imagine how the weirdos they are), bought my own copy of the novel and started hunting for the individual volumes (which is shockingly hard to find in Canada). I currently have 1 and 5 so I’m almost halfway there haha!
Anyways! To jump to my point, I wanted to know if you would consider letting me get a tattoo of one of the panels? If not that’s completely okay, I just couldn’t help but ask, I’d really love one.
I still wanted to convey my love of the book! Truly one of my favourites and so amazing, thank you again! Gi
hello! this is an extremely sweet ask! i hope your coworkers at the funeral home liked my book about how weird death is!
i am of course absolutely okay with you getting a tattoo of one of the panels. if you let me know which one it is i can even give it to you with the lineart isolated from the colour (that is assuming you wanted just the lines).
good luck finding the other floppies! i have sooo many copies filling boxes in my storage which i could put in the mail if you get really desperate and feel like paying shipping fees from australia.
thank you so much!

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!"
Like
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.

Random-Mailbox's Favorite Sailor Moon Fics - Week 35 - Medical Assistance
Since it is nurses week, it felt like the right timing to post about "Medical Assistance". This post is a lengthier one and is a mix of multi-chapters and one-shots with both Mamoru and Usagi taking on the role of the helper to each other and those around them.
As always, my apologies in advance for spoiling some of these for you (Fic Titles are linked to either FFN or AO3 entries).
Is It Wrong To Thank The Youma? - LunaV-chan
Usagi stumbles upon Mamoru getting attacked by a vicious youma, unable to fully defeat it. This sets off a chain of events with our duo discovering each other's secret identities, as Usagi does her best to help Mamoru get better.
One Less Lie - Marronett
After Sailor Moon gets hurt in battle yet again, she Is beyond frustrated about needing to come up with yet another lie to tell family and friends about what caused this injury. What if this time someone with magic healing powers steps in?
Shadows - rosa lunae
In this post Galaxia set story, Usagi's health keeps getting progressively worse - with shadows they can't explain appearing on her lungs. Is it some sort of a disease or an enemy trying to get revenge?
Leg Pain - @ninjettetwitch
After a difficult battle Sailor Moon follows Tuxedo Mask to make sure he is ok, offering to help him heal his injuries. Her only request? He has to continue talking to keep her out of her own head.
Wandering Soul - Serena530
Due to a series of events out of her control, Usagi gets hurt on the way to school, with her spirit left to wander around aimlessly. That is until Mamoru of all people sees her, when no one else can.
Love and Other Drugs - @linlamont
With a backdrop of a gastrointestinal virus wreaking havoc in the community, Usagi asks Mamoru for a favor - to let her stay at his place for the weekend while her family is away.
5 Weeks of AUs: Chapter 1 - @idesofnovember
In this non-senshi AU, elementary school teacher Usagi keeps bumping into very handsome new school nurse Mamoru. That is until she ends up in his care trying to make sure one of her kids doesn't get hurt.
And They Were In Quarantine! ...Separately D: - @smokingbomber
This is a quintessential COVID fic that is equal parts adorable and heartbreaking, with Usagi and Mamoru making the call to spend the start of the pandemic separately.
[side note: make sure you are logged into your AO3 account to access this story, it has been locked down with all the scraping and reposting on other platforms without writer consent]
Snippets: Chapter 3: Accident - @uglygreenjacket
Minako (being Minako) tells Mamoru to meet her at the hospital because there was an accident with Usagi, both sounding panicked and not giving any usable information at the same time.
Day 4: AU - @tinacentury
Mamoru being afraid of needles is definitely part of canon. In this cute story, he has to get his flu shot from a hurricane of a nurse who fascinates him more than he could have imagined.
Moving In - @daikon1
Everyone told Usagi that things would change once she and Mamoru finally move in together, something she adamantly denied was possible. That is until Mamoru starts acting oddly in the morning and she can’t figure out what’s going on.
Paging Dr. Mamo-chan! - @midnightdrops
One of the newest additions to the list! Adorable series of connected one-shots that show Mamoru going through his residency and how it impacts him and people around him. (Hopefully we will get more of their WIP soon, so I can finally do my College AU post *hint-hint nudge-nudge* 😘)

MxN Week Day 2: Stars
@senshixshitennouweeks this one's got some spicy themes in it but nothing too bad. anyway, enjoy.
She first sees him in a club, up on a stage and moving to the music of Caviar. She isn’t even sure why she’s there. Maybe she’s just needy and wants to alleviate the feeling by taking in some of the saucier sights.
For a heartbeat, their eyes meet and she doesn’t know why, but she can tell it affects him by the way his movement slows. Then, it’s over and he slips back into time with the song. Only now, he seems to stick to one part of the stage, right in her line of sight.
Makoto feels her face heat up as he peels the flimsy t-shirt off to reveal rippling muscles and tosses the baseball cap he was wearing off his head into the crowd, much to their delight if their shrieks are anything to go by.
Long brunette curls fall around his shoulders and adds to the wild allure he seems to radiate.
Makoto swallows when the pants come off and she sees the incredibly tight pair of briefs he’s wearing as he moves to the lyrics “Mr. Tangerine Speedo.”
Before she knows it, the bit is over.
“And that, people, was Nat Mustang,” the announcer says, “give him a big hand why don’t you.”
Nat Mustang. The name sticks with her.
When she gets home, too wound up to sleep, she types in his name in Firefox and feels her face burn with what she finds.
HeavenlyKingz. It’s an adult site, catering predominantly to clients who enjoy the male physique.
No harm in just searching, she thinks.
She types “Nat Mustang” into a search and watches a few free clips.
While Makoto hasn’t watched a lot of porn over the years, she can honestly say that this is a little bit better than most.
The acting isn’t as wooden and it helps that most of the stars have some level of charisma. Nat seems to radiate an easy confidence, even when the plotlines of the short are utterly ridiculous.
But her heart stops the moment she starts a male-on-male video featuring Nat and another star named “Tux Shields.”
That luscious black hair. That voice. She knows it! Even through the mask he wears, from that time she went on a double date with Usagi and her husband, back when he was only her boyfriend.
“You can’t tell anyone!”
Makoto cringes at Usagi’s cry, hoping no-one in the café is looking at them.
“I wasn’t going to tell anyone,” Makoto said, huffing, “you can’t think I’d ever do that to you.”
Usagi collapsed back into her chair.
“Oh, thank you,” she said, “It was just something Mamo did to pay for medical school.”
“And I bet you watched every video,” Makoto said slyly.
Usagi’s face lit up with embarrassment.
“So what if I did,” she said.
Makoto laughed and took another sip of her coffee.
“Well, I can’t say I’m not in the same boat,” she said.
“What do you mean?”
Makoto took a deep breath, fighting the heat that built in her face.
“I was at that one club, you know…”
“D-Point? The Strip Club?”
Once again, Makoto looked around. In spite of the fact that there now seemed to be less people in the café than before, she still felt embarrassed to admit she’d been there.
“Yes,” she said, barely above a whisper.
Usagi’s face lit up with a gasp and her expression took on a devilish sense of knowing.
“Oh, you found a hot piece of ass, didn’t you?”
“So what if I did?”
Usagi giggled.
"I saw him in one of those old videos Mamoru was in."
Usagi shushed her again.
"I'll keep in quiet," Makoto said, "just... can Mamoru get me in touch with... Nat Mustang?"
For a moment, Usagi sipped her hot chocolate, the silence stretching too long for Makoto's tastes, until finally, she replied, "I'll ask Mamo."
It's been set up as a blind date, at a restaurant with a fancy Italian name. Makoto swallows when he enters in a suit with a wine-colored vest, somehow looking more drop dead sexy than if he had his clothes off.
Makoto smooths the forest green cocktail dress she's wearing, her nerves acting up again. She wonders if she should have worn her hair in a bun instead of in her usual ponytail.
Nat sits down and he fixes her with a smile. She's expecting something like in one of his videos, but instead the grin is tinged with an emotion she's currently familiar with.
"Hey," he says.
He's nervous. This beautiful, mysterious man is nervous to meet her. Tension eases out of her and she smiles.
"So, is Nat your real name?" she asks.
He flounders cutely for a moment, before answering yes, Nat was his real name, short for Nathaniel, but Mustang was just a stage name. They get to talking about astrology, cooking, and gardening, hair care, just about anything under the sun.
Soon, they're leaving and he's putting his jacket around her shoulders.
"So," he said, you wouldn't be interested in doing this again? Next week? With me?"
Makoto smiles and kisses his cheek.
"Love to," she says.

✔️❌️ FOR THE LUPIN ASK GAME thank you! have a nice day
no thank YOU for encouraging my madness! and YOU have a nice day too or ELSE
✔️ - i'm trying to think of something i haven't talked about a lot before but really i'd suggest different things based on what people wanted to get out of the story y'know? i guess just off the top of my head i'll say... i mean icon aside i don't really have a HUGE bias for this one, i think i just mentioned once that dead or alive surprised me with just how GOOD it was. AND IT IS!! the animation is gorgeous and the plot is interesting and fills out it's runtime with ease (some lupin movies tend to run a bit longer than they need to sometimes. i mean me too but JUST SAYING) and it's unique and fantastical but still grounded enough that. honestly it wouldn't be a BAD entry point. you get a good feel for all of our guys here, and a REALLY good girl of the week right out the gate!
but like i said, my reccs would change depending on what you were specifically looking for. some are visually more interesting, some have better writing for JUST jigen, some have better writing for JUST fujiko, like i don't know if i've ever found a perfect 10 on all fronts buREALLY I COULD MAKE A LIST OF EVERY SPECIAL/MOVIE I'VE SEEN AND BREAK DOWN EACH ONE'S STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES TO CONCISELY SUGGEST ONE TO ALL OF YOU BUT. THAT WOULD BE A LOT TO DO WITH NO PROMPTING. LET'S MOVE ON
❌ - this was so much easier. twilight gemini!! not JUST because of the random homophobia sprinkled in, but honestly the movie forgets about everyone BUT lupin for well over half its runtime. a lot of specials are guilty of this, but honestly jigen, goemon, and fujiko just appear when its plot convenient with nothing else to like. do. also somehow has the MOST sexual violence in a series already packed with it, i mean this one has an insane amount. like i get part of the novelty of this one is 'omg lupin and fujiko had sex!' but. yeah? i feel like we already know they're doing that. why are there four different instances of women being seen topless when they don't want to be again? why's there like an extended torture scene where fujiko's like ass naked. what's that got to do with anything
i have problems with a handful of specials for somehow struggling to balance a cast of 5 whole characters, and having issues with writing said characters and their plus ones, especially the women, like most people i think. and i understand that sexual violence comes with the territory here, we all know lupin's origins and there's no point skirting around it, but where there's interesting characterization and fun designs in fujiko's unlucky days and beautiful animation and interesting concepts in mamo that lessen the blow of scenes/implications like that, twilight gemini doesn't do anything to like. redeem itself. to me, at least.
#not to get too serious about the silly anime movies but sheesh. we're gonna get you outta there lara#DIDN'T MEAN TO WRITE AN ESSAY MY BAD. TY FOR ASKING ILY TOO ANON#ask game#lupinions

For the drabble thing, how about 'Wonder' and Sailor Moon?
Oooo OK. I can go so many ways. hmmmmmmm....
***
Mamoru hated to say it. But he was starting to become sick of math. He actually liked math... but today he was hating it. Professor Ume had decided to dump a load of math homework on his students just before their three-day vacation.
"So it'll feel like you really earned that vacation time," His professor had said with a smart little smile, and a proud lift of his chin.
"Ego-maniac," Mamoru muttered as he finished a second page of his homework.
That man knew what he was doing.
And he was being an ass.
"Two more pages, two more pages, come on Chiba," he muttered, and then someone was kicking at his door.
Kicking.
He looked up despairingly at his door, and then down at his homework, and then back at the door. Someone kicked again, and Mamoru got up, his jaw set.
Whoever was at the door, was going to get an earful, no excus-
Mamoru opened the door, and Usagi ran past him, giggling, "Hurry! Mamo-chan hurry! Your balcony, come on!"
He let her run past him, his temper cooling by several degrees but not dissipating, "Usagi were you kicking my door?"
"Hurry Mamo-chan! Outside! With me! Your balcony," Her cheerful voice called back.
Like an angered cat, he felt his tension unwind, and his anger start to melt into deep affection. He clung to the last shred of his foul mood, because it was really inappropriate of Usagi to kick his door, and he needed to reprimand her about it. Damaging public property could be a costly affair, after all, and there wasn't a need to kick his door. She had hands!
He followed after her, Usagi leaving a slightly destructive path of knocked over pillows, and one of his books. She was on the balcony, grinning, her hands cupped, and her face lit up with a smile.
Mamoru suddenly noticed the darkened sky, and his last shred of anger, disappeared into immediate fear and concern.
"Usako! It's dark! Why are you over so late? Are you okay?" He asked taking her shoulders, resisting the urge to shake her, as he looked over her body in a full sweep.
"Mamo-chan... look," Usagi whispered and then opened her hands.
Two little glowing balls jumped out of her hand, and he stared, confused as to what he was seeing at first.
His mouth said the word before his brain caught up with it, "Fireflies?"
Usagi giggles, and Mamoru takes in her flushed cheeks, her frizzy buns, and a bit of mud at the hem of her jeans. She flashes him a bright grin, her eyes shining, even in the dark, and she whispers, "I was walking home when I saw them. And when I saw them, I just knew I had to show you."
She had run here to show him fireflies.
He swooped down and kissed her, an arm curling around her shoulders, and around her waist. He lifted her up into his kiss, and she slid her arms around his neck, humming a happy little sound as he kissed her and she returned it. He pulled back, smiling at her flushed face, and the little smile she always had ready for him.
"Usako... you're a wonder."
She giggled, "Did you like the fireflies?"
He laughed, and hoisted her in his arms, carrying her like a princess. He swung her, just enough to get her to gasp, and hook her arms around her neck. Smiling, he kissed her forehead, "Yes, I loved the fireflies. But it's you that's wonderful. Thanks for showing them to me Usako."
She snuggled under his chin, sighing, and Mamoru carried her inside, his homework intentionally forgotten.
Fuck Professor Ume, Mamoru was going to spend time with his girlfriend.

i'm digging the weeb-grave deeper <3 top five anime?
jo…….jo…… exposing me like this, for everyone to see 😔 (but also thank you interweb bestie 💖💖💖💖💖) p.s i fucking dare you to post your top five anime so we can both go down in this weeb trashfire together 💖😊
1. Monster - both the anime and manga wrecked me. destroyed me. husked me out into nothing but a hollow thing of a person. i could go on for fucking YEARS as to why this is the best anime of all time, but let me just sum it up by saying i’ve never experienced a more well thought out plot, a more well developed cast of characters, or a more well developed world in my whole fucking life and i will go to the grave believing that. also i’m full on in love with eva, she is my everything, my sun, my moon, the light in my life etc 💖💖💖✌️😔
2. Okay this is kind of cheating because it’s the franchise i love and not one anime in particular BUT Lupin The Third - my twin and i both fucking love the Lupin franchise. one of the old series, i think green jacket??? aired on tv when we were younger and we were fucking HOOKED. i’ve subsequently gone through most of the movies (my favourites being harimao’s treasure, twilight gemini, ans the secret of mamo). Also fucking LOVED the newer series The Woman Called Fujiko Mine (fujiko, my love, what a fucking great character ✌️😩).
3. This is for nostalgia’s sake so it’s a tie between Azumanga Daioh and Hamtaro - both of these anime series were huge for me as a kid (as well as sailor moon and naruto) but these two really meant a lot to me. Azumanga Daioh became like a comfort series that i’d rewatch a lot, especially in the summer. and fun fact! it’s the only series where i prefer the english dub. and jo as you know hamtaro was a feral obsession for me. those hamsters got into my brain and never left. my childhood bestfriend (whom i’m no longer friends with) my sibling and myself would draw those hamsters 25/7. i also loved the games (hamtaro hamham heartbreak is still one of the best games ever no one can fucking convince me otherwise)
4. Ookiku Furikabutte (or as I affectionately call it fruity booty) - time to out myself as sports anime trash :))). this (and One Outs) is probably my all time favourite sports anime. i don’t even know how to explain it fr, i never thought i’s be a sports anime person. also the characters dynamics are tropey as hell, like so typical animu, but i love them so much anyways??? and it’s so gay??? mihashi is a precious babygirl and i need to protect him with my whole body.
5. I’m cheating again but these all kind of have the same vibes so i can’t distinguish between them so Neon Genesis Evangelion (the original series)/Serial Experiments Lain/Alien Nine - okay so i hated Eva the first time i tried to watch it, but then when it was put on netflix i decided to watch it again and loved it??? similarly i tried i think 3 times to watch Serial Experiments Lain and finally finished it last year?? Alien Nine is also technically a series of ova’s, but that shit is so bizarre i fucking love it. anyways these are all perfect examples of the weird side of anime i like where it’s a little psychological horror, a little existential dread, and a little bit of mystery action. also unironically i fucking love the openings for Eva and Serial Experiments Lain, they slap so fucking hard dude
#thanks jo!!! i’m glad tou exposed me like this :)))#rhubarb asks#weeb hours over here#lowkey though these are my anime recs for all you weebs out there

I just randomly want to do this cuz why not.
ATEEZ - Be With You
I legit cried every time I heard this song cuz it was so soothing, so consoling, it felt as though I was hugged by them and their warmth, especially during the time I was at my lowest.
.
ATEEZ - Don’t Stop
Honestly speaking, I didn’t really like this song when I first heard it. It felt... Hmmm... Not my style. Just that. But then. I heard this song in one of the small supermarkets near my house. I was finding for snacks? Or something? I don’t remember. But I remember how I felt when I heard this song there. I was at a phase where no longer knew how to smile, but this song. Istg. Me hearing this and recognizing this song just made me smile. I never expected to hear this song in that place and I just ended up singing “Hey, don’t stop, gwaenchana uri sororeul round and round dolgo dora” the entire while.
This song holds a special place in my heart.
.
Mizuki Nana - Eden
This was so long ago, close to ten years ago. I had my first painful breakup and Nana released this song during then. I looped it so much because of Nana’s vocals and the way she sang it just made me feel... The pain in my heart was being sung out.
.
Mizuki Nana - Yakusoku
This song talks about a promise. This is my comfort song and I still love this song so much. I don't know how to explain but her voice makes me feel that the promises made will never be changed and it's just... Makes me tear up.
.
Miyano Mamoru - THANK YOU
This songs lyrics is basically self explanatory. Idk if there's an English translation out there but basically, he sings thank you again and again to the person who found him, and he feels happy that they get to meet, spending each and every precious day together. It's a very sweet song and it's my favourite song from Mamo-chan UwU

There's the pan down to the nude trio in Part 2 Episode 110.
I believe Part 2 Episode 48 opens with a pan of a cityscape.
The Mystery of Mamo introduces Fujiko with the typical pan up her nude body.
Part 2 Episode 89 opens with a couple of pans, of the orchestra and of Lupin dozing in a small, high-ceilinged room.
The Castle of Cagliostro has a camera pan of Lupin being pulled by the current into the cogs of the castle's waterworks.
Hi sournote! Thank you for your funny words on some edits, I appreciate your active support.
From what I see in my folders I might only have the Mamo one. I will check again on the said episodes for the others if I can ; the S02EP110 one has a heat haze effect making it hard to have a clean, proper stitch but I shall give it a shot whenever possible. Thanks for your propositions!

PGSM USAGI/MAMORU IS MY FAV
Brought over from dreamwidth. Spoilers.
I love lots of things about PGSM and surprisingly Usagi/Mamoru is one of the biggest. I've watched the anime dubbed and subbed and the Usako/Mamo relationship didn't do it for me. The reason is that relationship was rarely about either of them as their present selves. It always felt mired in past or future ideas that implied who they were now was not as important, and when we are following and falling in love with Usagi as she is now that's an odd disconnect. PGSM changes that and the relationship comes alive.
Ridiculously simple changes which I will now list.
1) Mamoru actually knows he's Tuxedo Karmen. There's no waiting til ep. 26 of 46, the latter half where he's brainwashed and doesn't know himself again, for his character to discover his own influence and motives. He doesn't start out only as Sailor Moon's hero to worship and focus on, but as an equally developing character. Being conscious of battling Sailor V, helping Sailor Moon, and stealing jewels in an effort to solve really effed up dreams means PGSM Mamoru has something to do. He gets to react to his own alter ego, not just become him. We, the audience, then get more info to determine his compatibility with Usagi.
2) Mamoru discovers Usagi is Sailormoon by Act 7. Act 7 out of a 49 Act series and over 11 Acts before the Princess/Endymion reveal. This allows their relationship so much more development because Mamoru gets to admire both Usagi and Sailor Moon and contrast and compare them as two halves of the same person. We gain insight into his growing affection for her and how he sees her, which leads to a greater understanding of their choice to be a couple. We can only infer what Mamoru thinks of Usagi and Sailor Moon in the anime, and indeed can't really know because he doesn't know either of them, or himself, or the struggles of that duality Usagi faces. Which makes their being in love a mystery or just a relation to their past selves.
3) There is no obligation required in saving Sailor Moon or showing up in Usagi's life. It happens organically through plot. Thank Motoki's friendship. Thank the downplaying of the I know when Sailor Moon is in trouble ping and instead having reasons for Mamoru being around in both fight scenes and daily life things. Thank the development of Mamoru actually wanting to hang around Usagi, and her then doing the same. Thank Usagi's early crush on Tuxedo Karmen. It all means they choose to interact with each other and that we cannot argue that purely external forces are behind their connection.
4) Hina. OH NOES HE HAS A GF! Hina, not Rei. Thank goodness not Rei, cause I didn't want to be crying for her like I did when she found out Mamoru was Tuxedo Karmen in the anime. Right in the Princess reveal episode their dating was shoved aside, implying anything in Mamoru's life, or Usagi's even, that didnt align with a Princess Serenity/Endymion destiny did not matter. Instead in PGSM we get Hina; the relationship of niceness but the one of obligation based on past affection and promises. The one that makes Usagi jealous and sad and shows the longing of Usagi and Mamoru for each other. The one that highlights Usagi's growth in herself, as we see her explore her feelings on love and jealousy and how she battles them as Usagi and Sailor Moon and her choices. As we see her thoughts of interest in Mamoru versus Tuxedo Mask.
5) The Princess is a persona that is questioned and separate. This allows the past lives to be questioned and explored. Thinking Sailor V is the Princess? Still not wanting to pick her. Finding out Usagi's the Princess? Still both not sure if doomed is a good relationship setting. Coming back to try the relationship in Endymion outfit or Usagi possessed by the ghost of Serenity? Notice how they never address each other by past names in their right mental states EVER. Their past lives influence their relationship sure, but it is not the basis. They have a destiny and a past love but they are active as the people they are now in building and maintaining their current one. In making it a healthy non-doomed romance, in choosing to continue it, in wanting one another above obstacles or past influences. We don't see this reflective outlook on their identities as Serenity and Endymion in the anime.
6) I shall throw in the bonus of Mamoru not going evil until the last episode. He's goes to work for Beryl willingly because DRAMA but it means that once again the relationship of Usagi/Mamoru can continue to develop because they are both still active participants, even when they conflict.
It's simple. The relationship they have is something forged in the present. They have happiness, angst, conflict and triumph all built into their current actions and character's arcs. It's truly about Usagi and Mamoru as they develop into a couple. It's what they define and what they use to rally against unknowns and past lives. Hell, when it all falls down and he goes evil and she destroys the world she brings him back and he does her and that is how they win out; By being Usagi and Mamoru and being there for each other. A tragic past love or a destined love is cool. A love in front of me, that I see explored and created, is EPIC. I ship them, yes I do.

1.0.011 AMI/SHIN/HERMIONE PLATONICA IRONICA, MAMO WAITING IN THE WINGS
Shingo has never seen Ami shit.
Does Ami know that? She tries very hard to think of a reason why, she tries all the time. Shitting is comfortable, shitting is warm, you flush and then disperse.
Shingo says ‘Water is efficient!’ with a finger raised. Shingo hates facts, and he hates Ami, and he loves his secret television and the whispers of the wind on the water. And if only his sister knew. And if only Ami saw the moonlight kiss his skin, then she would love him. But he knows that.
The girl is asleep standing up. She’s always tired around boys. She thinks she knows why, but madness calls like a clang. That’s Shingo banging his head against the counter, far off in Luna’s lullaby. Don’t make me call Artemis, says Mina. Mina in the mind’s eye. Mina typing. Mina has a broken keyboard. She stole Shingo’s laptop. She did it on a loan. Shingo loves Ami. Ami prepares for takeoff. She can do this. ~ MINA, SIGNING OFF ;d xoxo AMI-CHAN, BELIEVE!
Ami thanks Shingo. Shingo, quizzical, unknowing. Does this word have two Zs? She knows the answer. Fuck. Oop. Whoop. He knows the answer. Sick in his stomach, sick in his gut, a light turns off. Does Ami control the lights? He knows the answer. He thinks upon himself to mark his grave.
He types with her.
Easy, he thinks. Dissect me. Mina giggles with her mouth covered in Rei-chan’s stupid wet dream. Shingo knows all about Rei’s stupid wet dreams, knows he’s the man with his hand in the mirror, knows he’s the one for Mina, Mina P, Sailorvenus, Sailorfirst, Sailorstardeath, Sailorcomeincubus, Sailorsurroundsound. Does he love his sister’s decoy? Does he love pie? And Pizza Palace? And soft imperialism. That’s Ami’s inbred thought. DESTROY. Dream of men.
Dream on. ~ Ami & Mina P, holding hands in the summertime. Mina sickens. Not the effort of a needle but the force of the ejaculate. She feels like a frog on a coffin, her entrails stretched and neon bleating. Ami, use your henshin stick! It’s okay to have a henshin stick.
Shingo grabs the popcorn.
Does Ami balk? I don’t balk. I don’t think. I move. The emperor over all assumes the throne, does it alone, does it for me, me, for me, Ami, stop, what are you doing? I’m on the phone! She’s dead.
She’s in space. Omniscience kills. Only secret agents can handle it. I am one. Born one. Born on the wrong side of the tracks. Born to kill. Born to believe. Never to bear children. The emperor sickens. I weaken the earth. Shingo, you’re in love. Shingo, I’m not okay with that. I grow up. Why am I trying? The path hurts me. Elios, come.
I am in the sun. I bear gifts.
How? say Endymion and Ami, their eyes like quadruplet saucers overbearing the earth. You come to conquer heavens, say the sun’s bright rays, and through Shingo’s mouth the light is shafted like an eternity in waiting. Throw another monster at the fire. I’ll pick it up. Shin lives, Shin springs, Shin dances like an eternal dancer in the jowels of heaven. Never stop fighting, that’s a soldier’s job. Mina knows we’re at the fore, all of us, together, forever dancing. Shingo the greatest senshi lives to great again, and Ami in her maggot mind the whole time stealing the egg. Venus knows it’s a pearl we wear on our finger, and Endymion believes, and all know shining victory. But sister is dead, and Mom is crying, and together we stop time to watch a movie.
Is this really happening? says Ami.
Why not? says Mina P, stepping over herself to help a friend in need. I came upon you sleeping and thought you deserved to wake.
You’re not neurotic at all, says Ami.
My mom, says Venus, becoming a critter in the arms of a little goy that should be picking its nose. Is this crazy? thinks the goy, knowing full well that birds talk better than mice.
Mice pee on each other, says Shingo, a fact he learned from trial and error. He had a mouse. It crawled aboard his hand and passed from left to right, and Venus says he’s at the right hand of the Father, and she says so with a finger pointed crooked to heaven, and she does so for Ami and for fortitude, for Mercury’s bubble magic, for peacetime and for those who dropped the bomb, blond-haired blue-eyed -shelles, perfect in their mystery, presaging holy famine.
Did we have to? whines Shingo, his eye like some great mystery overtaken by alchemical omniscience. Why does she not love God? Both of us have together the arms of Helios, and Mina would say holds, and Umino says yes, and Ami knows he’s good at English, that his passion is reading in the summer, that he sits at his window and plays cards, that he collects, that he loves the pretty pictures. And so does Mina. Umino her greatest ally, her passionfruit, her forager. Umino the bird dropped out of the nest. Is Shingo a bird?
Keep googling me, Ami. Keep trying to win your war. I and the sun will go like lightning before the gods with our hands washed clean. Drink from the Rivers Lethe and Mnemosyne. Last night I did it, too. If you were there with Jim Jones, what would you have done?
Died, says Ami. We have similar interests.
Ya, says Shingo, thinking of Mina. Mina in her red satin haircut, loving togetherness, loving the oval, holding the heart aloft like the cornucopia of victory granted to her by foreign dignitaries, or some great god, or Salmon Rushdie’s greatest cliches. It’s Salman, says Shingo. I said that, says Venus, who thinks we’re all going to die when we’re damn well ready, and I can be Trinity if I want to, and Ne Yo’s waiting in the wings, white-haired, ready to jump with me off the balcony to certain Crouching Tiger, and Crystal Tokyo is immense, and we’re all there, and we’re ready, and let’s do this slow. Ami, get off the computer!
Shingo smiles a weakening one. Enslaved by his stomach, always wondering what he ate when Ami’s around. How does Venus love this girl? Beautiful orange, beautiful blue, moss-headed. Does she think she knows everything? Silly girl. Don’t be Hermione Potter without finger-wagging. Remember, stale fish don’t get caught.
Mina’s over idioms. She died for God. She feels the sun, it turns her skin orange. In Crystal Tokyo, imbibing at her bedside a cocktail of ambrosial margarita two days expired, she thinks she’d be more glamorous if it was ten weeks expired, and so does Shingo. Where’s Usagi? Oh, right, she’s dead.
Ami thinks that’s okay. She never thought Usagi was her mistress. She never gave her that coy embrence. Never thought eternity waited in the malice. It’s Mina’s shoes, they’re too tight. That’s her mother talking, her southern mother, born and braised in Nipon, Italy, Nipon, Italia, Nipon, Light Stroller, Nipon, ETERNITY IS TALKING. FOR ONCE AND FOR ALL I LOVE SHINGO. ~ AMI
Baby, why you always lying? Shingo, get off Tik Tok. Bu- bu-.., I have no man! Mom, I need forty eight dollars to buy me a slot machine.
You can do it with forty eight hours of effort, says the emperor, forgetting himself, splitting off Endymion’s thigh like a hunk of wood dispersed from his engine. What does Ami mean? She’s helping stabilize the vortex. Always with that fucking vortex. Usagi’s dead.
“Hi,” says Setsuna, laced up black falcon pumps the size of eagles beating down pigeon-toed loving the secrets of black dirt. Her journeyer’s staff resting against her side, a Greek god frozen in repose, thinking in stalagmites, thinking in isolate. Those are Ami’s teeth, beware. There’s nothing this girl won’t do for the sake of her nostrils, sniffing out the causes of entropy and diagnosing herself sick with fever. All of us slaves to the emperor. I have an idea, slave to women, birth more men.
He’s trying, says Shingo.
Mina funnels a shrug until it’s infinity shrinking on the right side of her mouth, and feels sick. Who to call? The Batphone. Barbara Gordon, glamor, wigs. She misses her dad, keeps his picture in her wallet, something branded and incomplete, a perfect picture of a world without Rei. Sigh. Rei. Love. Hearts. Confusion. Ruling thunder. And then Mako approaches, Mako from death, Mako the walking corpse. I miss Bunny. My pet bunny, not Usagi. She can handle it. Everybody, quick, look to the stars!
Shingo dives eternity and thinks of Mamoru, his black eyes, his face, his cutting silhouette. And his sister in repose, waiting in a glass tank to be fired off to space. And what’s wrong with that? What’s to think he did it? She lives. She always lives. He’s seen wings burst out of her back. She’s fine. Wait. That girl dies. Does Ami know?
Yeah, babe, she says, and Mina shakes her head. “In the common tongue, babe is used to intimidate competing uteruses! It’s mathematical,” she says.
“I know,” says Ami. “The emperor is making me say that.”
“Leave him,” says Mina, snapping up a book, “another man will take his place. All hail Queen Usagi, Lordess over dustmites. Sleep eternal.”
“That’s Beryl talking,” says Ami.
“Beryl’s his penis, stupid. Think about it. What does he do all day, that Tuxedo Kamen?”
“Fights crime,” says Ami at his behest, at the throne of the emperor.
“Why are you so loyal?” asks Mina. “He beats her.”
“He tries,” says Ami.
I beat him, thinks Shingo. He doesn’t mean it.
“He’s trying to be someone,” says Ami, quizic, fizzic, physical, fizzy. Shingo opens up a dictionary. Dad’s gift to a sick puppy. Chain him to a rock and watch the ocean rise. Ami taps her finger. The sea level. Shingo’s stomach is sick, and it’s not in his head, and he really has a healthy grasp on reality, doesn’t he? ~Ami
He tries, says the emperor, heavy-headed, split Zeus, a milkshake. Shingo and Ami dream of milkshakes. Venus watches on from a vantage. She never had a little brother, somebody to put in make-up and tie to an office chair. She never had a staircase, only stone steps leading up to a dungeon, and endless streams of wheat. And where is Mako? In the arms of a mother, hoping the dark will leave her eyes. Does Ami know? Can Mako be reached? Will this dastardly duo get away with their crime? Avaunt, to Ganymede.
“I hope,” says Shingo, “Mom makes something for breakfast.” She can’t stop crying. Usagi gone. Dad dead of a heart attack on the living room sofa. And all Mom does is the laundry, her heart locked away from me cold. Usa could elicit her tears, illicit her embrace, it doesn’t work like that, but don’t you see, Ami, that it does? And the sun the deliberator waits for Mina’s face, and Ami hugs Shingo from a vacuum, and it's mist on his skin, and Mist, and Ami’s learning, and thinking all the time, and relaxing to a parachute slid from the water on vestigial planet mercury, an ace in the hole of a torpedo. Wince. Don’t put things in there! It’s little.
Last night you did desire it, says mercur. And you’re leaving me for another woman again, says Shingo, says Mamo, but I love you. I’ve always loved you. Leave my sister and this won’t happen. She’s fine.
She’s off in hell chasing the devil, says Mamo, and you’re on her laptop in the future arguing with the past to get better grades.
Don’t spank me in front of this dyke, thinks Shingo, says Shingo, knows they’re watching and it’s complicated. Knows Michiru’s sad beauty. Knows the harp she plays. Knows her expertise on every instrument. Michi, goddess Columbine, sad-eyed lady of beautiful Serenity, Moon Queen’s favorite daughter. If only my toes were pointed that way to God, then Ami shouldst know there were a heart in Egypt. Thanks Emperor Venus, the mommy at my breast. Whoop. Mamo, I’m IMing you to talk about my research paper.
It’s homework, says Ami. And you can but I don’t advise it, and far off the goddess Hekate jangles her keys, and how beautiful, how pretty, how insightful, how livid. Thinking of her all of my life. Should I go down? On Pansy, says Hermione, faintly glowing, and the spell reverberates from across the pond and brings us back to the shattered remnants of Tokyo City after the bomb. Don’t play with magic, says Mina P, vocoded to hell and back again, unless your heart’s in it. Shingo, talk to Hermione.
I hate Hermione, thinks Shingo, appearing insignif. Never thinking why he tries. My horoscope says Ginny Weasley, Mom, now go do my laundry.
I hate it, thinks Hermione, roiling in her grave. From the distant future a worm spouts like ‘Exascerba!’ and Entrifigus Proto Entropoalises the arsonigophical compound. Ron, you’re the worst typist in the world.
I love Hermione, he tells Venus, but how the fuck did we do that with these notebooks?
Riddle did it, says Harry, masturbating furiously under the covers to gay porn. Neville’s arms. Draco’s smile. Pinned against the stone wall, glistening, and Cho my wife, my trophy, my shining glory. And Cedric, valiant Cedric, turned to dust.
Get off the computer, says Ami. Go outside. Be afeared by that wizard from across the sea, coming with the light of Aslan to marry me.
You’re too young for him, girl, a random gay man in an M4M chatroom. Not for me, not his reference, I’m mistaken. Dream on.
I think I’m going insane, says Ami to Hermione, thinking quickly, and Hermione smells the sparks as they shoot through the air. Her bones. The force. Harry’s dead. He’s been this way for years. Ever since he found gay porn on Dudley’s computer my hypotenous --- Ron, stop typing, I can do it. There’s this thing called Spell Check, Harry thinks for Ron thinking for Harry, and the two of them stop fighting in the past and make up. You have Draco. I have Mione. We’re all going to be okay.
But I’m not okay, Mione, I presageth famine. And how did the sun get a Facebook?
It’s centrifugal, says Shingo, but men don’t let themselves participate. He winks. Ami smirks. Evil little rat. It has no name. Rats are rats who run the game.
This is insane, says Hermione, meeting with her first time with her soulmate, emperor from across the sea, global Chinese cash money billionaire. What about Viktor? asks Venus, hating their perfume, hating the smell of their centrifugal forces, and the ugly dress they wear. All in the same outfit, all the time, for fun. Fashion lives through entropy like a burning eagle, and Shingo and I share looks from beyond the grave. Usagi is dead! Who are you?
Hermione Granger, says the Ouija board, and if Ron misspells another word, I’m done doing his homework. And my dad’s a dentist. And I’m strong and proud. And Pansy Parkinson has a nice ass. And don’t panic, lady, we can refine this. It’s our fault this shit doesn’t work as expected. Where’d that come from? Shingo points upward, Mina fumbles in a trash can for the cigarette she saw hidden beneath an apple peel. Dead girls get what they want. Mione knows. She’s in the toilet of a nightclub in southwestern France having a cry. Viktor was supposed to meet her there. She wore her wedding ring, the one she bought for herself with Ron’s money, and she tears up when she thinks of Arthur Weasley walking her down the aisle. Arthur Weasley the knight, Arthur Weasley the captain, Arthur Weasley the centrifugal force. How do you make those symbols on the computer?
They’re mugs, says Ron, typing from home. Dad bought him one last year.
“All he does is talk to Japanese girls and look at porn,” said Ginny that summer, irate, ifrit, enlarged, her ancient ensign the bloody insignia of a girl who gets her period in plain sight. Borgiac, Borgiastic, Borgia indulged. Where’s Hermione? I’m going to teach her to inhale this time. Yes, baby, I fucked Dean Thomas, yes, he had a bigger penis than you, yes, I speak Japanese. Ni how, Hermione, there’s nothing to it.
Arthur Weasley knows a Muggle, a little boy in Japan named Dan. He thinks with a camera in his eye, prizing the world away from its southern understanding. We flip poles, says Hermione, we’ll never find you.
Don’t be Tom, says Ginny, and something goes on with her eyes. She puts the journal down spine up and wishes for a cigarette, for something to dispense with moment by moment, and Tom’s warm pelvis is on her throat. Was that wrong? If only she’d met the perfect man when she was the perfect woman. If only Cedric had never died. Now we’re saddled with two little kids and a perfect future threadbare on a couch, living in Grimmauld Place, a gay man’s perfect fixer-upper, and Harry’s awkwardly timed erections the stuff of a woman who’s outlived her dreams. I’m going to go to Cordoba, she thinks, but first I’m going to finish my first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and I’m going to tell my dad it was stupid of him to make me believe I was allergic to chickens.
Does all slash end well? thinks Ron.
“You just keep scrolling until you see the word ‘cock,’” thinks Ginny to Venus to Hermione, and all along the Watchtower, villains take their places, and dead heroes dropped the bomb, and we’re doing it now, on Nagasaki, and that’s Muggle magic, and yes, it’s greater, and yes, that’s Chomsky, and yes, that’s all okay.
Who dropped the bomb on Nagasaki? asks Shingo, red-faced, and Chiba-sama replies, daring her panties in a bunch. In a knot, baby, but Usagi’s dead. And Harry’s gone into the forest, and Neville the conquered hero, and such is the case with heroic women, poised to die for the sin of Eve. Shingo puking. Shingo laughing. Shingo trades himself the Eevee. Red and Green. Mina says it’s Christmas. Her diary’s leaking. Bubbling. Frothing. And where is my Mamo-chan? What’s this feeling in my chest? Should I write him a love letter?

Here’s why I made this profile.
I watched Secret of Mamo a few years back and there’s one off handed comment made by the Commissioner after he orders Zenigata off the Lupin case. It’s around the 1:08:30 mark. (I may be wrong but I am not going back to kissanime to check because fuck those sites.)
((Longer post under the cut.))
“Wasn’t your daughter’s name Toshiko?”
“She must have grown up by now.”
And these lines hit me like a truck.
Zenigata has a daughter? The Commissioner obviously knows about her. Why did he bring her up? Was he suggesting he gives the cheque to his daughter?
WHY DO WE NEVER HEAR ABOUT HER EVER AGAIN?
I always have that question on my mind. Why do we never heard about Zenigata’s family life? One thing that’s kinda kept from each iteration is the fact that Koichi comes from a line of great Police Officers/Investigators/Detectives, that’s really it. Not even the live-action spin-off for Zenigata mentions a family. (Only a past lover and friend in college/judo class. IDK, Harvey could correct me on that.) Hell, in the Lupin; Pink Jacket, there’s an episode when Zenigata cries because “he’s never had a child or a wife”
Like, nobody can really decide what’s real and what isn’t at this point, and it makes me mad.
But I feel like Toshiko has such potential to be a cool character. Does she follow in her father’s footsteps? Who was Koichi’s wife/one-night stand? What are they like? Have they essentially disowned him? Do they keep in contact? Nobody knows, not even the Lupin writers. But I know, because Toshiko is mine now and ya’ll can take this character from my cold dead hands.
Thanks for coming to my TedTALK.

I say the "age gap" has got to be one of the most stupid, predictable, tiresome, and annoying "criticisms" of Usagi's and Mamoru's relationship. The supposed "creepiness" actually comes from the fact a university student (Mamoru) is seemingly "stuck" in a relationship with a toddler (Usagi), thanks to the writers who seem to hate the titular character and made her that way. The age gap ain't that wide so people can piss off with the "grooming" accusations on Mamo's part.
I have said this before and I say this again.
The age gap is not the problem since on paper it's three years and legally checks out. ( I don't know how many many times I have said that! Lawd have mercy! lol )
It's the way it was written in the 90's anime is the problem.
When you have a 15 year old getting upset that her boyfriend offered an older lady who is older enough to be his grandma his Umbrella which shows how nice and kind he is…
In which the lady acted cold to him thinking that he was being nice just to get her money.
In which Diana was pretty much was ready to defend Mamoru and let that woman have a piece of her mind for her treating Mamoru like that when all Mamoru was doing was being nice.
Meanwhile ,Usagi is pretty much upset at him for sharing the umbrella which she going over there not to tell the lady “ Hey My boyfriend was the one offering you his umbrella the other day. He’s nice like that and he’s not looking for your money. “
No She going over there to confront an older lady that is old enough to be her freaking grandma“Why you shared a umbrella with my boyfriend?”
That's a problem.
That's a huge ass problem.
Because in Sailor Moon SuperS?
My fucking goodness they had her acting like a damn two year old to the point if Mamo wanted to break up with her because he got tried of her antics, I don't blame him.
The most petty ass shit Usagi got mad for when it comes to Mamoru SuperS. Either at him or regards to him.
1. Helping Chibiusa with her homework.
2. Saying a how pretty a nun is.
3. Helping Ami with her homework.
4. Rei having inviting him to stay over the Shrine so he can finish his paper.
5. Not saving her even tho he was going to do but Diana put her foot down.
6. Offering his umbrella to an older woman to shield her from the rain.
7. Thinking he was cheating on her with his mechanic.
8. How she acted at the aquarium in the first part of Fish Eye episode
The fandom always blaming and accursing him for not being attentive of her, placating her or just with her because of obligation but never say a peep on some of the shit she did to him ( cough Birthday episode in S)

How about "Gem" for the UsaMamo prompt list?
Here you are, my dear! Hope you enjoy, and my usual thanks for @floraone for looking this over so quickly ❤️
He closed up the final box in his living room, placing it in the pile that was to be put into storage and looked around with a sigh.
This was what he wanted, Mamoru kept telling himself. And surely if he said it enough, he might eventually believe it.
Truth be told, up until two years prior, going to America had been everything he wanted. Working every opportunity he had to its fullest for a shot at admittance into this program.
A chance to escape the land of his birth. The land which held all of his secrets but refused to give them away, even to him.
In those days, Harvard had promise and prestige. Japan had…nothing.
But then it did. Before he could even remotely process what was happening, a blur of blonde and pink and love barreled into his life and he would never be the same again.
It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that everything changed. He suddenly had purpose in this life beyond his ambition to become a doctor. He was meant to protect the world with her, a mutual love for Earth they had shared across millenia.
The past didn’t seem to matter so much anymore because Tsukino Usagi thought he was someone worth knowing now.
When the letter came, he knew he’d been accepted before the envelope was open. It was a big official looking thing that no one would have bothered to send with a rejection.
The elation he assumed he would feel never came, instead being replaced by an uneasiness that refused to abate, only strengthening when he broke the news to Usagi.
Her response was subdued. None of her usual theatrics. No big tears or wailing. It made his chest tighten.
“You have to go, Mamo-chan. It’s only for a year. This is your dream.”
You’re my dream, his heart practically screamed, but his head didn’t give the words a voice. He simply hugged her to him and placed a kiss to her forehead while she clung to him like a lifeline.
She was right. It wasn’t forever. So, he began to pack up his life and his reservations along with it.
He grabbed his keys and slipped on his shoes, walking out of his apartment and through the streets of Juuban, doing his best to remember the sights and sounds and smells of the city he was finally glad he called home.
There was one errand he still had left to do. One he had put off until the last minute not because he was unsure, but because to complete it would make this all feel too real.
But his flight left in two days, and he could no longer afford to pretend he had the luxury of time.
He smiled fondly outside of Osa-P’s. This was where it had all started, in this lifetime at least, and it seemed so fitting that he’d be here now.
A kind woman who was the spitting image of Naru greeted him as a blast of cold air hit his face and his eyes adjusted to the dim light. “Can I help you?”
Mamoru took a deep breath, never more confident in his decision of forever. “Yes, I’d like to take a look at your engagement rings.”

Heartbreak Red 2022 Takeover
April Fool's Day means it's time for Heartbreak Red to show himself once again! This has been a Tsukiuta tradition for a few years now, and it's a fun way for fans to interact with the account. For a limited time, people can send a tweet to Heartbreak Red using the hastag #失恋ポスト (#heartbreak post) and Heartbreak Red will reply using the official Tsukiuta account (@Tsukiuta1). The tweets are categorized as Advice, Message, Request, or Other.
The account replied to a lot of tweets again this year, so I'm just picking and choosing some of the interesting ones to translate. Idk if it’s just my bias but it seems there’s a lot of Growth love this year? Lol. Read below the cut!
---------------
[MESSAGE] I’m always supporting Haduki-san ☀️‼️ Is he a coffee or tea kind of person? ☕️
Heartbreak Red: “You-san!”
You: “Thanks for your support! I drink both, but I guess I’m more of a coffee person?”
Heartbreak Red: “You don’t like Japan’s top-tier tea?”

Hello, so I had this little nugget of an idea because of a post about how NQS and Kendy are basically Morticia and Gomez Addams in pastels and I thought you'd enjoy it. It's UsaMamo rather than NQS and Kendy bc lets be real, they don't need to be married and rule the world to be like that, but here:
"Okay, but Mamo-chan, you have to admit you were hot as Moonlight Knight!"
"I wasn--"
"Semantics, he was still a part of you, so it still counts!"
The deep sigh that pulled from Mamoru's chest belied that of someone who had had this conversation before and was aware it was a losing battle. There were a few hills he would die on, but this one wasn't one of them, "If you say so, Usako."
"Thank you," She acknowledged primly, before continuing with the conversation despite him and his attempt to end it, "And it's not that you're not hotter as Tuxedo Mask, or even just you-- personally I don't really have a preference."
Mamoru's eyebrows nearly disappeared into his hairline because he knew very well that even if she didn't have a preference she definitely had way more fantasies concerning his masked alter ego than she would probably admit to. Right now, anyway.
She continued on, unfazed, "But Moonlight Knight was just like... Different, you know? Definitely beat the 'dramaticness' of Tuxedo Mask sometimes and the white roses were so dreamy... And the way you said 'ad-ew' every tim--"
"Ad-ew?" He echoed, and she flashed him an adorably irritated look as he interrupted her. The smirk that pulled at his lips was reflexive.
"Yes, the word for Goodbye in French? Ad-ew." She answered, her tone implying the unspoken duh.
The smirk became a full blown smile as he looked at her from his place on the couch. It was a smile she had become very intimate with very quickly after she'd first met him, the smile of a Mamoru who was endlessly amused (and simultaneously thinking she was the most adorable thing in the world, though she had not learned that until much later) with her and her antics. She narrowed her eyes at him.
"What?"
"It's not Ad-ew, Usako."
"It's not?" She untensed, brow furrowed with slight confusion. She knew better than to argue with him about a foreign language when she had barely passed the one foreign language course she'd been required to take.
"No, it's not." He finally set the book he had been reading down on the coffee table, "It's adieu."
There was a small but very audible gasp from her and before he could look up from where he'd placed his book, Usagi had joined him on the couch and left absolutely no space between them as her hands grasped his arm. He jolted slightly in surprise, gaze flying up to see Usagi staring at him with star-struck blue eyes.
"Yes! That was it! Say it again!"
"Ad-adieu?" No matter how many times she'd done this, he couldn't help the blush that heated his cheeks and reddened the tips of his ears at the attention.
She practically melted against his side, hugging his arm as she did sometimes. A dreamy sigh left her.
"Say something else in French, Mamo-chan? Pleaseeee?"
"Usa-"
"My name isn't French!"
Anon! This is super cute! Please make an Ao3 account and write for my personal enjoyment LOL (everyone else can read, too, I suppose lolol.)
But for sure, if this is what you write into an ask box, please consider posting your work!!!!
