I AM ALSO THAT FOOL
*puts on sunglasses and leather jacket* yeah, I live pretty dangerously. sometimes you gotta take a risk. pet the stray cats. eat the raw cookie dough. we all gotta go someday anyway. i’m not gonna let fear hold me back.

every time a black cat crosses my path, I’m like “I’m gonna have a good day now” because COME ON, A CAT. HOW CAN CATS BE A SIGN OF BAD LUCK. Sadly I don’t think the same works for customers
BLACK CATS ARE THE BEST. I’m the fool who always bends down to see if they’ll let me pet them, but hey it’s always been fine so GUESS THEY’RE GOOD LUCK AFTER ALL (don’t try this at home, kids. petting stray cats is dangerous.
And yes, sadly, customers are not as cute or lucky as cats. DEFINITELY do not pet stray customers, kids.

I’M SENDING YOU GOOD LUCK TO OVERPOWER POSSIBLE CUSTOMER BAD LUCK
In my family, we turn every traditional omen into a sign that brings money
THANK YOU SNUMPLE ❤ ❤ And that’s so cool!

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!

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

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 can never make fun of sitcom miscommunication plots again because I’ve been out for about a year and a half AND MY MOTHER HAS THOUGHT I MIGHT LIKE MEN THIS WHOLE TIME. I mean, I get her confusion because I DID date guys when I was in the closet BUT HOW DID IT NOT COME UP UNTIL NOW
paksenarrion-reader Something potentially interesting I’ve never seen…
personal headcanon: sometimes, Haruka and Michiru feel like it’s Setsuna and Hotaru who are raising them.
Ahahaha DEFINITELY.
I personally see Haruka and Michiru as doing the most strictly “parental” stuff, I think they fall into those roles easily, but Sets and Hotaru are such old souls. Haruka and Michiru definitely learn more than they teach.

…I could get into this
I’M GLAD BECAUSE IT’LL PROBABLY START WORKING ITS WAY INTO MY WRITING. This relationship hasn’t really clicked for me before, like it’s been a thing but I haven’t felt much about it. Thinking about the age difference actually being a factor suddenly makes it rich and interesting to me? Idk.
Beza what are you doing with your forelimbs. Beza pls.

WHAT A COSY CAT. LOOK AT THOSE PAWS.
YOU ARE TOO SWEET. Maybe I won’t succumb to the grump today, y’all are so wonderful?? That should outweigh any amount of ineptitude and belligerence I get at work

Brienne was one of the very few characters I actually enjoyed reading about, but then copious amounts of straight happened and ¯_(ツ)_/¯ cba to care about this shit anymore
Brienne is ABSOLUTELY the best character in that universe, and it’s bullshit GRRM has her be straight
dawnlight6 replied to your post “Michiru and Rei, “Are you flirting with me?"”
what a great study of Michiru’s character!
Thank you! It was really interesting to write Michiru from the perspective of someone who doesn’t know her well yet.
dreamshapers-universe replied to your post “Michiru and Rei, "Are you flirting with me?"”
Aw this was lovely, one has to wonder how Michiru felt deep inside when she waited for Rei’s answer to her question about them being friends 😀
Thanks! Ahaha I imagine she tried very hard to convince herself she didn’t care, but Rei is one of what, five? maybe? people she genuinely likes, so I doubt it worked.
paksenarrion-reader replied to your post “Michiru and Rei, "Are you flirting with me?"”
oh gawd Michiru testing the ground with all the shields up. With a shade of emotional blackmail into not hurting her feelings. AND THEN OH GOD THE SHIELDS COME DOWN AAAAA. I never knew I needed this until THERE IT WAS
I’m glad you liked it! When I first saw the prompt I assumed whatever I wrote would be pretty funny, but then I got thinking about how they became friends, because I can’t imagine them having an easy time facilitating their connection. And the idea of Michi being the one to reach out stuck.
dreamshapers-universe replied to your post “Minako and Haruka, "Everything’s going to be fine” YOU COULD MAKE THIS…”
Angst and pain, the best way to start Monday… 😦 This was awesome, but so painful
Ahaha this is one of the ones where it hurt to write, and then trying to read through for typos…
