Haruka, 14

,14) Would they ever want to be a stay at home spouse or parent

A stay at home spouse while there are no kids is a definite no as far as I’d see it, at least so long as she’s . Haruka wouldn’t *have* to work, and I think that’s why she’d want to. She takes immense pride in being able to say she did something or bought something for Michiru with her own money. I can’t see her giving that up.

With kids, though, I think they’d *both* try out stay at home parenting, so long as Michiru continued to have the money to support them. After the first year, give or take a few months, Michiru goes back to work. Haruka, though, loves parenting so so much that she has zero desire to do anything but care for their kids as much as possible. 

Michiru has to draw a line, when the youngest starts school, Haruka has to go back to work, or at least take back up her more time-consuming hobbies. (She can see the empty-nest fall out miles away). Haruka starts suggesting they have another kid as the time draws near, but Michiru’s firm on no more, as she knows in four years thy’d go through this all again.

So Haruka does go back to work, and she’s still an emotional wreck over not being 100% parent 100% of the time, her babies are in school and are starting to not need her,  but it helps keep her going. And later, when the teenage years start and her babies are starting to not WANT her, work turns into her saving grace (though only Mina and Michiru and others would see it that way, Haruka would never think of it).

Ahiru, Fakir, Rue, Mytho – 17?

First off, the cuteness of imagining their karaoke night is making me smile a ridiculous amount. (And obviously, I’m going with english language music, just for familiarity sake.)

Okay, so I think Rue would be a little nervous about picking a song and singing, so I think Ahiru would offer to sing with her. She’d pick something cute, I’m thinking like Colbie Caillat’s “Bubbly” or Sara Bareilles’s “I Choose You,” something fun but also sincere that’ll make their boys blush (even though Ahiru and Rue are singing to each other (platonically) as much as they’re singing to Fakir and Mytho).

I initially thought of Mytho singing “Pieces of Me” as a joke, but now the idea won’t leave. I can easily see Mytho really liking pop, not it necessarily being his favorite, but definitely something he’d like and the sort of thing he’d pull out to have fun with everyone.

Fakir completely unironically sings “Welcome to the Black Parade.”

And then Ahiru really wants to do another “duet,” so she gets Mytho to sing “You Don’t Know You’re Beautiful” to Rue with her.

(Later, Fakir feels bad he’s the only one who didn’t sing a love song, so on the ride/walk/whatever home, he puts on “Wonderful Tonight” and flusteredly sings along and changes the lyrics to fit Ahiru.)

Haruka, 10

10) How they deal with pain

I think there are certain types of physical pain Haruka handles very well. Cuts and bruises don’t really bother her. She’d probably swear, say, if she drops a wrench on her foot, but she’s not going to make a big deal out of it. It’s the one way she lives up to the tough, cool front she’d like to think she exudes.

Anything to do with illness, though, stomach ache, sinus pain, anything like that, and Haruka’s the… I don’t want to say whiniest, as that sounds to negative, but something along those lines.

She can’t deal with internal pain at all. She all but demands pampering, even for minor things. And the worst part is, it’s only when she’s started to feel better that she can enjoy the attention at all. People have definitely accused her of milking it (which to be fair, she has occasionally done) but for the most part, she actually just feels that bad.

Michiru, 1

1) Something this character is truly proud of.

I think it would be a long time before Michiru gets to a place where she can feel completely, unambiguously proud of anything she’s done. As a child she realized that her parents valued her work more than they valued her as a person, so any pride she might have in art or music got squashed out of her pretty quickly. And I think senshi work is very tied up in guilt and self-loathing for her, so she can’t feel pride in that.

But one day, when she and Haruka have been married a little while and have started having kids, she looks at her family and realizes that there is one thing she’s proud to be a part of. And after that, she realizes she’s proud of herself for being happy, because that never felt like somewhere her life could go, and here she is.

Here’s a good one: Which of your SM/HP house things do you think goes AGAINST the grain?

~ sittingoverheredreaming ~ Leave a comment

That IS a good one. 

I think my big one is I don’t personally go with Pluto/Setsuna being a Ravenclaw, which I see a lot. She’s smart, definitely, and has such a vast store of knowledge, but I don’t know that she’d really value knowledge for knowledge’s sake the way ‘claws do. I think for me it comes down between Hufflepuff and Gryffindor, because her loyalty and duty and love are the most central things to her, and Gryffindor edges ahead.

The few Ravenclaws in HP canon came off as pretty cerebrally-orientated, and I see Setsuna as being led a lot more by her heart. She could watch the Silver Millenium burn not because there’s calculated thought behind doing so or anything, but because guarding the time gate is the one thing she can do, her last act of love for her queen and the rest of her people. And then, in every canon, which she gets a chance to do more, she loves enough and is brave enough to lay down her life. 

So to me, Setsuna’s pretty firmly a Gryffindor.

And the babies, Hotaru x Chibiusa

~ sittingoverheredreaming ~ Leave a comment

THE BABY OTP

They’re just so good for one another. Besides Chibiusa being one of Hotaru’s first friends and visa versa, Chibiusa basically goes full Michiru and chooses Hotaru’s life over the world (thinking specifically of the Nehelenia arc). She’s less self aware than Michiru and far less calculating. And Hotaru needs Chibs to do this so much. Again and again Hotaru’s life is posed as disposable— first  because she is Saturn, then because Haruka and Michiru get desparate against Galaxia. She needs to hear Chibusa say no, don’t sacrifice your life even though it would save everyone. And Chibs basically dies for that choice. She dies for her love for Hotaru. And that’s beautiful as friendship, but it’s also beautiful as innocent romantic love. It would be really easy, I think, for them to grow up loving each other, and have it evolve into a lifetime partnership. They trust each other so much, and have so many reasons to trust each other. Add in that their personalities compliment each other and that they’re shown again and again to make each other so so happy, and I really think that they’d overcome all time shenanigans and monstrous obstacles to have a long, loving relationship.
