sittingoverheredreaming:

I feel like the senshi can be divided into those whose civilian forms have a personal connection to their element (Rei, Michiru, and Mako on the side of plants) and those who’s elements are apt but don’t have the same connection, and a fun thought experiment might be working out how everyone could have a similar connection or draw

(* You might be thinking Mina should be mentioned as having a connection to love, but I think she has a super complicated relationship to it rather than a connection like, say, Rei has to fire, AND I think a connection to metal would be more fun to mine out (har har))

WAIT I LOVE THIS

I also had the thought of the gold/metal connection guiding her in similar ways, not in a ~easy riches~ way but in a little winfalls way, her pickpocket targets always have cash, she’s drawn to genuine precious metal jewelry in thrift stores when it’s unidentified, those little things

(Also damn a good fic would be Mina finding out somehow that things she thought were all her own, her charm and tenacity and personality, have been tied to Venus all along)
