SAM I KNOW I’VE ALREADY SENT YOU FOUR CHARACTERS BUT MAY I ALSO ASK FOR CHIBIUSA

YOU MOST CERTAINLY CAN ❤

  • Why they are the best
    SHE’S A CHILD, A LITTLE BABY CHILD. But she already has the world on her shoulders and the expectations for her are SO HIGH. She already knows she’ll never live up to them, she’ll never be her mother. AND IT HURTS HER SO MUCH. And everything she gets in the world, every friend, every nice thing, gets taken away from her? Pluto dies, Hotaru dies, and even though they come back, they don’t come back the way her mother’s friends do, it’s not immediate and they change, and it’s not FAIR and please someone comfort this child.
  • Why they are the worst
    THE “CRUSH ON HER DAD” THING GETS TAKEN TOO FAR BUT I DON’T BLAME HER FOR THAT
  • a canon fact (that shouldn’t be)
    really 900 years old. that’s too hard to fathom and too hard to work with. (I like the idea of wonky aging, of her stagnating as a physical and mental five-year-old for years, but like, a decade at most not almost a millennium) 
  • a non-canon fact (that should be)
    HER POWERS WIND UP BEING VERY DIFFERENT FROM USAGI’S. I can’t see her having as strong a focus on healing, I think she’d try so hard, but her heart guides her powers in other directions. Despite being raised as a princess, I think she’s more of a fighter than Usagi ever is.
  • a piece of advice I would give them
    HANG IN THERE, LITTLE BUDDY. PLEASE JUST HANG IN THERE. THE PAIN ISN’T ALL THERE IS I PROMISE.

HARUKA MICHIRU REI MINAKO

~ sittingoverheredreaming ~ Leave a comment

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.

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

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!

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

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…?”

I SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS IN TWO POSTS BUT AH WELL. REPLIES UNDER THE CUT FOR LENGTH

captainsnumple replied to your post “Minako and Haruka, “Everything’s going to be fine” YOU COULD MAKE THIS…”

OHHHH I love this

Ahhh thank you Snumple ❤

I love how Haruka is lying to Mina, and Mina BELIEVES her, or at least doesn’t ask more questions 

And that Mina admits that she is scared, but only in whisper 

You know, initially when I saw this prompt, I was going to do Haruka dying, but I flipped it because I feel like they’re both prepared for that possibility, as much as they can be. I mean, I don’t think Haruka WANTS to die, but I think if she was told one of them had to die, she’d want it to be her, if that makes sense. And Mina has run through the possibility of all the girls dying in her head so much, she’ll do anything she can to stop it, but she suspects it’s going to happen sooner or later. But I can easily see Haruka letting herself believe Minako (and Michiru) is invincible, because she’s smart and fast and powerful. Mina is just too MUCH to die, she is lively and vibrant and too damn loud for Haruka to be able to imagine a world without her.

I love how Haruka is lying to herself and how she’s imagining other outcomes than Minako’s death

CONFESSION TIME. Even tho I wrote this, and I know Mina is dead BECAUSE I wrote this, part of me has been telling myself the same lies as Haruka. MAYBE SOMEONE DOES FIND THEM, AND CALLS AN AMBULANCE, AND MINA IS VERY HURT AND PROBABLY HAS SPINAL DAMAGE, BUT SHE’S ALIVE AND SHE STAYS ALIVE AND  IT’S FINE, SEE.

And I LOVE how your story flows, it feels like misic, and I love the little details, like the one about Mina’s ‘ha!’ or Haruka thinking the redness of the cliff has something to do with nature 

It’s SO GOOD, I love it

Ahhhhh thank you so much, I’m blushing. 

captainsnumple replied to your post “Michiru and Rei, “Are you flirting with me?"”

AWWWWWWWWWWWWW

SAM I LOVE IT SO MUCH

SNUMPLE AS ALWAYS YOU ARE TOO SWEET

I love that you’ve shown that Michiru sincerely wanted it herself, and Haruka’s race might have been just an excuse

Ahahaha I see two possibilities, either MIchiru NEVER ASKED Haruka, or she guided Haruka into giving her this answer like
“Oh dear, I booked us this spa day but that race you like to watch is on, I’ll have to take someone else”
“What? No, I can go.” (I see Haruka being super into being pampered, plus seeing Michiru look so peaceful)
“No, no, it’s alright, please watch your race”
“I can record it and watch it later! Really!”
“Don’t you want to watch it live? I was thinking of asking Rei.”
“:(((( Fine”

REI’S STRAIGHTFORWARDNESS THOUGH AHAH

SAY BEFORE, THINK AFTER

REI IN A NUTSHELL

I LIKE TO THINK LATER MICHIRU TAKES REI TO HIGH SOCIETY EVENTS JUST TO SEE WHAT SHE’LL SAY AND TO WHOM

I really love how you write them, so in character, like I could tell who is talking just by their phrases

Ahhhh thank you, I’m so glad that I did alright with Rei! I feel like Michiru’s way of speaking is an easier one to capture for me, I “hear” her voice very clearly, but less so with Rei.

NO I REALLY LOVE THAT IT’S SO GOOD 

 DID I SAY THAT I LOVE IT BECAUSE I LOVE IT

I ALREADY SAID YOU WERE TOO SWEET BUT REALLY. YOU ARE THE KINDEST OF SWEETHEARTS

I’M SWOONING OVER MICHIRU’S THOROUGHLY PLANNED LACK OF CARE

SHE DOESN’T CARE SO MUCH. THERE WERE DEFINITELY NOT SEVERAL SECONDS WHILE WAITING FOR REI’S ANSWER THAT SHE DECIDED FRIENDS WERE OVERRATED AND SHE WAS NEVER TRYING TO MAKE ANY EVER AGAIN. (And she definitely did not feel a strong wave of relief and joy when Rei said yes. Nope, not Michiru, she is above such things)

Thank you for explaining little ignorant me the cultural context, I so rarely get certain jokes because of my absence of knowledge, it’s my ENDLESS PAIN

SNUMPLE PLEASE LET ME KNOW ANYTIME YOU WANT ME TO EXPLAIN ANYTHING. I know it must be frustrating that even in a fandom about a Japanese show, there are a lot of jokes and things that are American-centric.

captainsnumple replied to your post “so like. reinako 10 things I hate about you, yes/yes?”

I DON’T KNOW THE CONTEXT BUT YES

BASIC STORY, BECAUSE I FEEL YOU SHOULD KNOW HOW REINAKO THIS MOVIE IS. It’s a weird 90′s high school AU of Taming of the Shrew, where basically this dad is against the idea of his youngest daughter dating, so he says she can’t until her older sister, Kat, who is an Angry Feminist with no interest in dating, does. So the youngest daughter tells the new kid in school about this rule, and he’s like, WELL I’LL JUST FIND SOMEONE TO DATE HER. NO PROBLEM. And because everyone is a little scared of her, he ends up PAYING Bad Boy with a Heart of Gold, Patrick. There’s a lot of back and forth and eventually, of course, Kat starts spending time with Patrick and falling for his charms, and he falls for her. And then she finds out why he started pursuing her, and there’s drama, but it ends with Kat writing this poem:

I hate the way you talk to me
And the way you cut your hair
I hate the way you drive my car
I hate it when you stare

I hate your big dumb combat boots
And the way you read my mind
I hate you so much that it makes me sick
It even makes me rhyme

I hate the way you’re always right
I hate it when you lie
I hate it when you make me laugh
Even worse when you make me cry

I hate the way you’re not around
And the fact that you didn’t call
But mostly I hate the way I don’t hate you
Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.

AND TELL ME REI WOULDN’T WRITE A LOVE POEM ALL ABOUT HOW SHE “HATES” MINA

Oh buddy don’t be too hard on yourself. I have no idea where the inspiration comes from and why but from my questionable experience, if it comes, it COMES. and then you write for days without standing up from the chair and really NOTHING can stop you and so on (I remember I almost didn’t sleep and faked illness to skip the work). AND THEN IT GOES TO NOWHERE FOR QUITE A BIG TIME. No idea why. But I don’t think this can ever be your fault or something

  There was also a scheme that depicted how one’s skill improves and how they see this improvement, the point was that we usually see way ahead our own skill, our eyes learn faster than our hands, so if it seems you’re not moving it’s probably wrong, you are! Just your vision is moving a few steps faster and demands, say, the 6 level of skill when you have 5. And to the moment you have 5, it’s already on 7 and moving to 8. And yells at you ‘WHERE’S MY SEVEN’

  I hope it makes sense ahah

  And I hug you anyway, you’re a good writer no matter whether your brain tries to convince you otherwise

SNUMPLE THANK YOU YOU’RE SO SWEET. And I’ve heard about that before! It’s always so hard to keep in mind, thank you so much for reminding me. (My eyes are indeed yelling at my hands to GET TO SEVEN ALREADY.

oh gawd I feeL YOU SO MUCH. I found my stuff from some six years ago when I was cleaning the place up just a few hours ago… it’s shit with a tiny sprinkle of awesome. Then I looked at my current writing, and it’s overall better, but? Does it have? The sprinkle of awesome? IF IT DOES I CAN’T SEE IT FOR FUCK

I’m glad I’m not alone but I’m so sorry you have to feel this way too. There’s always a little part of me that worries that I’ll never get that little spark back, that it was caused by some magical combination of youth and naivete. WHICH IS BULLSHIT. But still. I BELIEVE WE’RE GOING TO SEE THE SPRINKLE OF AWESOME IN OUR CURRENT WORK AGAIN.
