Crystal Tokyo Challenge 3,7,&8
(I’m skipping around because ANARCHY IS FUN)

3. Your general opinion on Crystal Tokyo

I think it’s a really cool era to play with and see headcanons for, since so little is given to us for it. I like the idea of it having both dystopian and utopian elements but essentially just being a backdrop for ordinary life. (The cooking scene in the Kaguya Island revision musical is my favorite glimpse at CT life, because it’s so mundane without ignoring the magical and royal aspects).

7. Your headcanon on how Crystal Tokyo was formed

I go with the idea of a disaster triggering it, though I don’t fully go with the anime canon. I tend to think there was an attack by a malevolent force (aliens or monster or demons, it doesn’t matter) that wasn’t really stronger than what the senshi have faced, just a much larger scale. Something rose up all around the world. Sure, they could take out each individual monster with a single hit, they could take out several with a single hit, but at the end of the day there are only nine senshi. They can’t be everywhere at once. It becomes a real and true war, with normal military forces trying to fight. It’s a miraculous united effort, the way a lot of sci fi portrays it, enmity between nations is set aside in the face of a larger threat. 

But it’s not enough. The things just keep coming. They just keep destroying and killing.

The senshi finally find the source. It wants destruction, not power, so it spends its energy making its minions. It does not wish to fight them, it will not take a physical form to give them the chance to land a hit. So it falls to Usagi, the rest lend her their strength.

With a tremendous effort, she succeeds in driving out the force and all its minions. She sleeps for weeks after (Ami refuses to use the word coma, that is medical and scary and she knows too well the likely outcomes when that word is used, but she treats Usagi like a coma patient all the same). And the world is fundamentally changed by the outburst of magic. The crystals rose up to channel Usagi’s power. The surviving people rebuild their cities around them.

8. Your headcanon on Neo Queen Serenity’s influence on the world (is she the queen of the entire Earth, or just a small nation? Bonus points if you include how other world leaders see her!)

I see NQS as being the global leader while nations exist and self govern under her. She takes care of intern-planetary relations, so to speak, and handles all the magic stuff. People regard her with equal measures reverence and distrust. She saved them, and will save them again from whatever danger arises. All the earth is grateful. But. That gratitude often feels like they have to revere her, she has the power to let them die if she is not worshiped (it does not matter that she would not, it does not matter how much she tries to show the world she is silly and loving Usagi. They will always see her as the great and terrible goddess.).

Crystal Tokyo Challenge 1&2
(I’m doing these two together since my answers are similar)

1. Your favorite adaptation of Sailor Moon

This varies arc to arc. Petite Etrangere is a PERFECT version of the Black Moon Saga, 90′s anime mostly nails Infinity for me, and the first Stage of the old myus are my favorite for Stars. Dark Kingdom is hard for me to have a favorite for, as LR and PGSM are both so good, but there are elements of the original anime that I can’t do without. Dream is probably manga, but I actually enjoy parts of SuperS quite a bit and the old myus did some really cool things.

2. The canon you pull most headcanons from and why

I absolutely cocktail for my headcanons. But for the most part, the anime is my base, and I pull from other canons as I please. Especially for SilMil and CT. The Myus and Manga have way more influence over how I see those eras (SilMil I just like the picture painted by LR and the manga best, CT is largely because I STILL have never made it all the way through watching R.) And then my character views are just grab bags of my favorite bits from each version.

Presenting: The Crystal Tokyo Challenge

So I was inspired by the 40 Days of SM challenge created by @youstupidprick. They had a wonderful challenge filled with wonderful, thought-provoking questions. I wanted to do something similar, and I had the idea to do it with a Crystal Tokyo theme given that the original 40 Days had somewhat of a Sen/Shi theme!

There are only a few rules: first of all, feel free to skip any questions you want. I in no way want to force you to do all of them. Also, you don’t have to do them all at once. Feel free to take as long as you like! Maybe a question or two a day if you want? Second, absolutely NO bashing each other’s headcanons! We all have different interpretations, and I made the CTC to celebrate that! Third, please don’t submit your answers to me; just put them on a post if that’s okay (I just don’t want my inbox clogged with answers). And these last two are just requests: first, can you tag your answers as #crystal tokyo challenge ? i would love to read the wonderful headcanons everyone comes up with! Also, if you’re interested, can you please reblog this post to spread it? I’d love to have as many people do the challenge as possible!
