Yeah, I think haruka wants to be the solider because she CRAVES goodness, she wants to be called a hero, she wants to know that she did good, in her heart. She wants to know she did what was right, even when it was hard, and that she’s not a bad person for it, and I think a lot of her bravery and strength comes out of wanting that, of wanting someone to tell her she did good.

I have nothing to add here I just agree so much.

At Haruka’s soul level, she’s more a mama bear than a soldier–she’s ready to fight and die, for people she loves, but there’s no prowl in her, no raw cunning.

YES

And I think this is true for Haruka more than anyone else, even Mako, who is the archetypal Mama Bear but who I see as falling in line when needed and having just a little bit of that edge.

And funnily enough I can see Haruka WANTING it more than the other girls. While there’s a lot of wishing for ordinary lives, I can so easily see Haruka wanting to be the perfect knight, and she really never can be.

which stone is it?

Amethyst! It has a lot of personal relevance to both of us. My high school class ring is amethyst, even though it’s not my birthstone, and it’s always been one of my favorite gems. It’s even more important to her. AND IT JUST SUITS HER SO WELL. I never thought of stones suiting people, but all of the amethyst jewelry I’ve seen her in has looked so right (I bought her a cheap little pair of earrings once, and was blown away because they were so small they shouldn’t have looked like anything special but when she put them on it was magical)

SEE THESE TAGS ARE WHY I MISSED YOU

GOOD NEWS MY HARUKA DARING TO BELIEVE SHE COULD BE LOVED CONTENT IS PROBABLY GOING TO GO UP LIKE 50%

HER INHERENT OPTIMISM BATTLING HER SELF-LOATHING AND SOMETIMES WINNING JUST A LITTLE BIT. HER LITTLE HEART SOARING WHEN SHE SEES ANOTHER WOMAN IN A SUIT, TEARS IN HER EYES WHEN SHE SEES A BUTCH GET A KISS ON HER CHEEK FROM HER GIRLFRIEND.

THE WAY HER HANDS SHAKE WHEN SHE GETS DOWN ON ONE KNEE TO ASK MICHIRU THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION OF HER LIFE, BECAUSE THE ANSWER IS YES IT HAS TO BE YES BUT HARUKA CAN’T REALLY BELIEVE IT UNTIL SHE HEARS IT, NO ONE COULD REALLY LOVE HER THAT MUCH EXCEPT MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, MICHIRU MAKES HER BELIEVE SOMEONE COULD.

I unfollowed a ton of *issues* bloggers and my life is so much better

I’D IMAGINE SO

I’ve gone ahead and started. I just got on this morning and saw some post about the make up industry and self esteem, and I realized there was no reason for me to be upset about it at the particular moment and that I also didn’t WANT to be. I read it through and didn’t learn anything new and the only effect it had was making me upset, so I just don’t need that sort of thing.

ahahah when I saw that picture of you in a flower crown, I was like “Disney’s first butch princess” THE ANIMALS WILL SING TO YOU

awww you flatter me, Doc

also I was more than a little ridiculous that day, I had it on from the moment my boss brought them until I got all the way home. I LIKE FLOWER CROWNS A LOT. I should probably buy myself one of the nicer ones and just wear it around for the summer
