Okay, hear me out here. On the theory that all the girl’s magical items are updated version of ancient relics that used in the past, can we assume the reason why only Usagi and Minako have transformation items is because Serenity and Venus used them so Venus could act as a decoy as Serenity disguised herself so she could go down to the Earth to bang Endymion.
Cause I’m pretty sure that’s the reason.
Like. Venus having a transformation item so she could take Serenity’s place. That makes sense.
Serenity having a transformation item? No, I’m pretty sure she got so she could bang Endymion in secret. SHE IS PAST LIFE, I CAN NOT BELIEVE SHE DID NOT ABUSE THIS POWER LIBERALLY FOR BANGING PURPOSES. IT’S JUST NOT IN ME.
I LOVE THIS, and because I am who I am I love the angst potential of such a fun idea too, because like
If Venus was complicit in Serenity sneaking off to Earth, if she disguised herself so she could break the rules (and maybe she even gave Serenity her back-up disguise item), if she put her princess’s happiness above the laws of the kingdom, above political good sense,
Then when they’re discovered and the war begins, Venus blames herself for the whole thing. She doomed them all by not stopping it when she could.
