Rose Quartz & Sour Cream!
Thank you!
ROSE QUARTZ – What do you think about love?
When I was younger (like, a pre-teen) I was thoroughly convinced that romantic love was the be-all end-all, and OF COURSE if you loved someone you stayed with them forever. The second part of that got torn down by life, that’s just not how it tends to work (it can work like that, but it’s rare and the alternative is okay). I still really like the idea of romantic love and I’m a sucker for love stories, but I’m less hung up on it now.
And I’ve reached a really happy place where the love I have for my friends is the most important to me. I haven’t really experienced much romantic love for myself, but I’ve found some of the greatest friends in the world, and I think loving them is pretty great.
…tl;dr, Love is p. good, and I’m a huge sap.
SOUR CREAM – What’s your favorite type of music?
This should be an easy question, but I always have a weird time with it. Most of what I like falls into that fuzzy genre of alternative/pop rock/light rock, or else soundtracks. There’s specific things I really like on piano, violin, and guitar that are common in all the things I really like, but I don’t know enough about music to explain them.

Hotaru and/or Usagi for the ask meme!
Ooo I never get asked about these two, this is exciting!
Hotaru:
sexuality headcanon: Homoromantic demisexual
gender headcanon: I can see her as a demigirl or genderfluid between girl and agender. I think the weirdness of her post-S/Infinity life would lend itself to her questioning early and finding she doesn’t have that strong of an attachment to girlhood. And of course her moms are supportive, so she’s very confident about it.
a ship I have with said character: Chibiusa/Hotaru
a BROTP I have with said character: Excluding her three moms, since I’m not sure if family stuff counts as Brotps, I think she and Rei would end up good friends as Hotaru gets older. She’d start off admiring Rei as a role model, and as they spend time together they’d settle into a quiet sort of friendship.
a NOTP I have with said character: I don’t think I’ve actually seen any pairings for Hotaru that aren’t Chibiusa/Hotaru, so I’m not sure
a random headcanon: Hotaru is actually one of the senshi who’s most at peace with her powers. She never fears Saturn once she understands what she is; she never feels the conflict between senshi and civilian life. In her mind Hotaru and Saturn are a singular whole. Part of this is her rebirth and how early in life she transforms, but part of it is just her nature.
general opinion about said character: She is amazing, and I wish we’d seen more of her.
Usagi:
sexuality headcanon: If you look up pansexual in the dictionary, there is a picture of Usagi.
gender headcanon: She’d probably never think about it directly, but she identifies very strongly as a girl.
a ship I have with said character: Usagi/Everyone 😛 Specifically, Usagi/Seiya, Usagi/Ami, and sometimes Usagi/Mamoru, depending on my mood and the canon
a BROTP I have with said character: Usagi/Michiru, I really love the dynamic of Usagi both idolizing her and humanizing her
a NOTP I have with said character: Usagi/Demand. Why is that a thing people ship. I do not understand.
a random headcanon: Usagi thinks about telling her family she’s Sailor Moon a lot. She loves them, and sometimes the feeling that they deserve to know is overwhelming. But every time she tries, she fails. Ikuko and Kenji are loving parents, but they’re oblivious. Sometimes, they make her feel invisible.
“Mama, I have something serious to tell you.”
“Is it your English grade? When are you going to start studying?”
“Daddy, what if I told you I’m a soldier of justice?”
“I’d tell you I’m the king of France.”
In the end, Shingo is the only one she tells, and only after she leaves home. He’s known for years at that point.
general opinion about said character: Usagi is so, so important. I will love her to the end of my days.
Minako!
sexuality headcanon: Bi with a preference for women that grows after high school
gender headcanon: I see her as a cis girl, although with or without the disguise pen, I think she’d enjoy rare occasions of cross dressing (especially to prove she’s hot whatever gender people think she is)
a ship I have with said character: Rei/Minako. Also Ami/Minako, if I’m being honest.
a BROTP I have with said character: Haruka&Minako, obviously, and Mako&MIna. I like to think they all hang out together sometimes and Mina jokes that you have to be this tall to be her friend.
a NOTP I have with said character: Minako/Kunzite. I actually really like SilMil Venus/Kunzite as a tension that never gets acted on, since it makes a great divide between Venus and Serenity, but I don’t think it works in the present day
a random headcanon: Minako has about equal amounts of pride in and resentment of being a soldier, but sometimes the resentment wins out And as much as she hates herself for it, a lot of that resentment focuses on Usagi/Serenity. She loves Usagi, more than anything else in some ways, but sometimes she looks at their lives and bitterness curls up next to that love. In a lot of ways, she sees Usagi as getting to have it all. As Sailor Moon, she is the “star,” so to speak, of the senshi. She gets the most media attention, she’s the hero people focus on, the rest of them are slated as her sidekicks. As Usagi, she has the balance Minako never feels. Usagi feels the pain of fighting, she has that sacrifice, but the next morning she’s always the same old Usagi (on the surface, at least). Minako hasn’t been the same old Minako since she first touched her transformation pen. And as Serenity, she is the reason Minako has Venus inside her in the first place. And as much as Venus blames herself for the fall of the Silver Millennium, as much as she blames Endymion and QUeen Serenity and Beryl, there’s a part of her that blames her Princess. She put her love above everything else. And now, in a second life, she gets that love exactly how she wanted it, she gets assurance that it will last a thousand years, she gets it all with almost no consequences. Venus is the goddamn soldier of love, but she can never choose love the way Usagi/Serenity does.
Minako is grateful that the Outers never fully gell with the inner senshi, even after they become friends, because on days when it’s bad she can drag Haruka to a bar and know she won’t have to hear about Usagi at all for a few hours.
general opinion about said character: I don’t always count her as one of my favorite characters, because my love for Mako and Haruka kind of steamrolls over everything else, but if I think about her for more than two seconds, I love her just as much as them.

3. Which one outlives the
other, and how they cope
NO. (By which I mean, yessss.)
PGSM sort of covers one way
this could go, and in general I think Rei would handle it in more healthy ways.
So I’m going to go with Minako living longer. It’s what I tend to imagine
happening anyway.
How Minako copes depends a
lot on how Rei dies. If it’s in battle, she’d blame herself 100%. But she’s
also already prepared and compartmentalized for that possibility. She’d have
bursts of self-destructive behavior when she can’t hold it in, she’d probably
have a hard time getting into any sort of relationship again, but on the
surface she’d appear fine and seem like the same old Minako.
Illness is probably the sort
of death she’d handle best, especially a more drawn out one, because she’d have
time to come to terms with it while Rei’s still there. And she’d know Rei
fought as hard as she could, and there was nothing anyone could do.
The worst is an accidental
death. A car crash, or something sudden like a heart attack, anything unforeseen
that blindsides Minako is going to be the hardest to take. Because that hits on
things that are so much bigger than just Rei. Minako has made a lot of
sacrifices in her life. She gave up her childhood to be a soldier, and I think
in any non—PGSM continuity, she gives up her chance at fame, too (or sees it
that way). And it was all supposed to be worth it. She did these things, and
got her people in return.
But then Rei dies in a
completely unrelated way. Rei who she’s come to love in so many ways. Rei, who
she built a real relationship with, who gave her things she thought she’d never
have. So her belief in the whole exchange shatters. Nothing she did matters,
because the things and people she loves can be taken away regardless. She does still have guilt over not being
there when it happened and not having done anything to stop it, and she tries
to throw herself into that because then at least it has meaning. She as a few
months of being over protective of everyone. Usagi is not getting in a car unless she’s driving (nevermind that Ami is
the technically better/safer driver, Minako needs to be there). She throws out
all of Haruka’s junk food. She hovers in Mako’s kitchen at her restaurant,
watching everyone handle knives and hot liquids (Mako bans her pretty quickly,
because she gets in the way).
It’s only the knowledge that
Rei believed in their fight and would want Minako to keep going that holds
Minako back from acting out and spiraling down to the point of no return. Rei
would never forgive her for giving up. Rei would never understand.
So Minako keeps going. She
fights and loves harder than ever, but she never really moves on and she never
stops being angry.
Years after, she can joke
that her rage is Rei living on inside her.
Harumichi, 12
12. What they do for their anniversary
Their first few anniversaries, Haruka plans big elaborate
surprises. Sky writing timed perfectly for Michiru to see the moment she steps
out of work, singing candy grams, rose petal walkways; if it can be classified
as a grand gesture, she’s done it. It’s always followed with a trip to Red
Lobster or something similar, because Haruka cannot let go of the idea of that
as a special occasion place, and it’s seafood and Michiru is the sea isn’t that
poetic?
The third or fourth year, though, Michiru suggests a few
months before that she get to surprise Haruka that year. Haruka still sends
flowers, but otherwise agrees. Michiru plans something much more low-key. Or at
least, Michiru’s take on low key, which mostly means less public. She doesn’t
want the grand gestures, she likes the smaller things, but she also is keenly
aware of how much Haruka tries and feels the pressure to match it. So she buys
out her favorite restaurant for the night. It’s just the two of them in
candlelight, with the best service and even better food.
Unfortunately for Michiru, this gives Haruka the idea to
rent out the event room at Red Lobster the next year.

Michiru, 16
NOW THAT THIS HAS SAT HERE FOR NEARLY A WEEK I’M FINALLY GETTING TO IT, SORRY
16) The biggest sacrifice they make for their family
If you asked Michiru about this, she’d probably mention some big concert she missed for an elementary school pageant or having to give up the ability to go on luxurious vacations at the drop of a hat, but it was worth it.
And THAT– it being worth it– is her real sacrifice. Michiru spent a long time convincing herself that emotionally, at least, she didn’t need anyone. Her parents only ever treated her as a show pony they gave financial support to, so that’s all she needed from them. Any nanny she got attached to inevitably got dismissed, so she learned to not to need them either. Michiru prided herself on this independence. Her detachment and disdain for everyone else let her position herself as better than them all in her mind.
Haruka was first to ruin her perfect detachment, but I think when they have kids it’s an even bigger thing. Michiru can hold Haruka up as the single good point of humanity, but kids take even that away. She doesn’t love them because they’re pure beautiful good people, she loves them because they’re her kids, her bratty, messy, imperfect kids. And the illusion that she could ever survive without people, without these people, is utterly shattered.
