Haruka is here and Michiru is here 

REI

  • Why they are the best
    I do not talk about Rei enough ever, but she’s so important. She’s so angry. She burns. She’s passion incarnate, for good and for bad. AND ALSO SHE’S KIND OF SOCIALLY INEPT SOMETIMES AND IT’S GREAT
  • Why they are the worst
    “I’m not done yet” REI CAN YOU MAYBE NOT DESTROY MY HEART?? I’M JUST TRYING TO LIVE MY LIFE
  • a canon fact (that shouldn’t be)
    her having any serious interest in men?? I mean I don’t think canon makes a strong case for it BUT IT’S A LITTLE THERE AND I REJECT IT
  • a non-canon fact (that should be)
    ANGRY LESBIAN FEMINIST REI HINO
  • a piece of advice I would give them
    tell the girls you love them in plain words sometimes, it won’t kill you

MINA

  • Why they are the best
    WAS THERE EVER A MORE COMPLICATED MESS OF A HUMAN BEING. Except she’s not a mess, she’s perfectly compartmentalized and concealed. HER HAPPY MASK IS PAINTED ON SO PERFECTLY IT’S HARD TO SEE UNDERNEATH, WHERE’S SHE’S PAIN AND TRAGEDY. OH MINAKO.
  • Why they are the worst
    Digging into all she is and all she’s given up HURTS TOO MUCH GEEZ MINA
  • a canon fact (that shouldn’t be)
    I IGNORE THE WHOLE LOVED-A-DUDE-IN-ENGLAND THING. It doesn’t fit for me, at least not without SERIOUS tweaks.
  • a non-canon fact (that should be)
    THE BROTP. 
  • a piece of advice I would give them
    Please know you’re worth as much as your girls, Mina. PLEASE TRY AND LOVE YOURSELF AS MUCH AS YOU LOVE THEM.

MICHIRU

AND SNUMPS ASKED TOO WE CAN ALL BE HAPPY

  • Why they are the best
    SHE IS OUR BEAUTIFUL LESBIAN QUEEN. But actually I love her so much, I love that she believes the worst of the world and loves everything the proves that belief wrong so fiercely, I love that she can talk circles around anyone with ease but when it comes to being genuine she doesn’t always know how, I love that she knows all the ways she is terrible and makes no apologies for any of them. I love that she finds hope and happiness despite thinking neither were real or useful.
  • Why they are the worst
    listen she is flawed as all hell but the only reason she is the worst is we never get to see her kiss her girlfriend
  • a canon fact (that shouldn’t be)
    I’VE ALWAYS FOUND IT WEIRD THAT SHE’S THE ONE LIKE “omg baby” WITH HOTARU. I’m a big fan of Michiru not really liking kids or thinking of them until she HAS them and surprising herself in how much she loves them. 
  • a non-canon fact (that should be)
    she kisses her girlfriend all the time. absolutely all the time. not like, gratuitously, they don’t make out in public, but. all the time.
  • a piece of advice I would give them
    heyyyyyy girl have you ever considered therapy? please consider therapy

MY TOL BUTCH NOODLE

  • Why they are the best
    SHE SUCH A PURE AND BEAUTIFUL PUFFIN?? SHE WANTS SO BAD TO BE GOOD AND NOBLE AND WILL NEVER EVER BELIEVE SHE’S THERE. And she loves?? so much?? She loves Michiru so much. (And LOVE IS EVERYTHING) (Did I mention she is a NERD???)
  • Why they are the worst
    YOU DON’T HAVE TO BURY YOURSELF IN CYNICISM. YOU REALLY DON’T everyone knows you’re a marshmallow IT’S OKAY. 
  • a canon fact (that shouldn’t be)
    sticking to good canon,her ~suavely flirting~ with all the girls in S. PLEASE THIS CHILD IS DORKUS EXTREMEUS WHO BLUSHES WHEN HER GIRLFRIEND FLIRTS WITH HER.
  • a non-canon fact (that should be) 
    THERE ARE SO MANY. Okay I’m gonna go with Michiru being her first kiss, because I just. REALLY LIKE THAT. (She’s not Michiru’s tho)
  • a piece of advice I would give them
    PLEASE LOVE YOURSELF AND  WEAR COLORS THAT SUIT YOU BETTER THAN YELLOW

I also like that her presentation in no way changes after the reveal. With the exception of fuck-ass 96, the reaction is basically “welp, that’s Haruka, that’s what she dresses like.” *shrug*

YES. Like, people’s presentation can change, okay, but a change centering around the knowledge that she’s really a woman is a little… icky. THAT EVERYONE ACCEPTS IT FOR THE MOST PART IS REALLY IMPORTANT

docholligay replied to your post “captainsnumple answered your question “I’m probably going to fall…”

I love the anime more than life itself, but the Starlights thing is so gross, and it REALLLYYYYY bothers me that they changed it from them being women in the manga because they didn’t want Usagi to have a female love interest

yeaaah there is SO MUCH I hate about how they handled the Starlights? So much shit got put on them, homophobia and transphobia AND ALSO JUST LOTS OF STRAIGHT UP BAD WRITING. I’m never really sure how I came to love Seiya through al that trash, but I’m glad I did because that’s what led me to the musicals WHERE THINGS ARE HANDLED BETTER FOR THEM.

I loved this moment for Michiru’s sass and obvious delightment and Haruka’s genuine confusion, I’m not sure about the trope itself but the moment was played really good and non-offensive!

SASSMASTER MICHIRU IS MY FAV. And yeah, I love the moment for the same reasons!

I love it because it’s obvious Haruka wasn’t trying to ‘trick’ them or anything. She even says, with genuine confusion, that she never said she was a guy. I think it could be (and is in other canons) really gross, but the anime took a p light touch

paksenarrion-reader answered your question “I’m probably going to fall asleep any minute, but I saw a post and I’m…”

I thought it was really well done, because it wasn’t actually a reveal. It was just Haruka trolling people with their own expectations and Michiru SLIGHTLY helping her along. Which is just real and hilarious at the same time.

Yeah, I think for me a big part of it is Haruka is (mostly) in control of the whole thing? Not their expectations of course (and not Michiru),  but things do happen on her terms. It’s not like with the Starlights, where the reveal that they’re women is forced by the reveal that they’re senshi and they’re never really given a say in it (plus you know. gross things got said in those eps). But Haruka’s clear on what she is and she makes it clear how she wants to be seen. Idk, I hate talking about fictional characters and ~agency~, but she gets her say, you know? And it’s not a trick, it’s just “wow you thought…?”

docholligay:

okay, so theoretically senshi healing is a great trick if you can survive long enough for it to kick in. But, consider: it basically has to be a massive regrowth of muscles and bone within a very short period of time.

I can’t imagine this would be particularly comfortable.

and that’s certainly something interesting to play with.

*chin hands* I love your briain

Now all I can think of is certain senshi trying to fight THROUGH this and how disastrous it would be

I’m probably going to fall asleep any minute, but I saw a post and I’m kind of curious about something– what do you all think about Haruka’s gender reveal in the 90′s anime? It’s not something I ever considered any implications of, but that might be because the ~I am no man~ thing is one of my fav tropes. So, I dunno, does anyone have any feelings about it?
