Minako!

sexuality headcanon: Bi with a preference for women that grows after high school


gender headcanon: I see her as a cis girl, although with or without the disguise pen, I think she’d enjoy rare occasions of cross dressing (especially to prove she’s hot whatever gender people think she is)


a ship I have with said character: Rei/Minako. Also Ami/Minako, if I’m being honest.


a BROTP I have with said character: Haruka&Minako, obviously, and Mako&MIna. I like to think they all hang out together sometimes and Mina jokes that you have to be this tall to be her friend. 


a NOTP I have with said character: Minako/Kunzite. I actually really like SilMil Venus/Kunzite as a tension that never gets acted on, since it makes a great divide between Venus and Serenity, but I don’t think it works in the present day


a random headcanon: Minako has about equal amounts of pride in and resentment of being a soldier, but sometimes the resentment wins out  And as much as she hates herself for it, a lot of that resentment focuses on Usagi/Serenity. She loves Usagi, more than anything else in some ways, but sometimes she looks at their lives and bitterness curls up next to that love. In a lot of ways, she sees Usagi as getting to have it all. As Sailor Moon, she is the “star,” so to speak, of the senshi. She gets the most media attention, she’s the hero people focus on, the rest of them are slated as her sidekicks. As Usagi, she has the balance Minako never feels. Usagi feels the pain of fighting, she has that sacrifice, but the next morning she’s always the same old Usagi (on the surface, at least). Minako hasn’t been the same old Minako since she first touched her transformation pen. And as Serenity, she is the reason Minako has Venus inside her in the first place. And as much as Venus blames herself for the fall of the Silver Millennium, as much as she blames Endymion and QUeen Serenity and Beryl, there’s a part of her that blames her Princess. She put her love above everything else. And now, in a second life, she gets that love exactly how she wanted it, she gets assurance that it will last a thousand years, she gets it all with almost no consequences. Venus is the goddamn soldier of love, but she can never choose love the way Usagi/Serenity does.

Minako is grateful that the Outers never fully gell with the inner senshi, even after they become friends, because on days when it’s bad she can drag Haruka to a bar and know she won’t have to hear about Usagi at all for a few hours. 


general opinion about said character:  I don’t always count her as one of my favorite characters, because my love for Mako and Haruka kind of steamrolls over everything else, but if I think about her for more than two seconds, I love her just as much as them.

12. What they do for their anniversary

Their first few anniversaries, Haruka plans big elaborate
surprises. Sky writing timed perfectly for Michiru to see the moment she steps
out of work, singing candy grams, rose petal walkways; if it can be classified
as a grand gesture, she’s done it. It’s always followed with a trip to Red
Lobster or something similar, because Haruka cannot let go of the idea of that
as a special occasion place, and it’s seafood and Michiru is the sea isn’t that
poetic?

The third or fourth year, though, Michiru suggests a few
months before that she get to surprise Haruka that year. Haruka still sends
flowers, but otherwise agrees. Michiru plans something much more low-key. Or at
least, Michiru’s take on low key, which mostly means less public. She doesn’t
want the grand gestures, she likes the smaller things, but she also is keenly
aware of how much Haruka tries and feels the pressure to match it. So she buys
out her favorite restaurant for the night. It’s just the two of them in
candlelight, with the best service and even better food.

Unfortunately for Michiru, this gives Haruka the idea to
rent out the event room at Red Lobster the next year.

It’s your birthday today? Congrats! Also, congrats on the lit agent! I know how that feels like, the excitement … though mine brought me nothing but pain. BUT I’m sure everything works out fine for you, you deserve all the best!!!

Ahh thank you! This is all very unexpected and sudden, so it’s a whirlwind of excitement for now. And I’m sorry yours was a bad experience! I have no idea if this one will work out for me, but hopefully it won’t go too badly either way.

Michiru, 16

NOW THAT THIS HAS SAT HERE FOR NEARLY A WEEK I’M FINALLY GETTING TO IT, SORRY

16) The biggest sacrifice they make for their family

If you asked Michiru about this, she’d probably mention some big concert she missed for an elementary school pageant or having to give up the ability to go on luxurious vacations at the drop of a hat, but it was worth it.

And THAT– it being worth it– is her real sacrifice. Michiru spent a long time convincing herself that emotionally, at least, she didn’t need anyone. Her parents only ever treated her as a show pony they gave financial support to, so that’s all she needed from them. Any nanny she got attached to inevitably got dismissed, so she learned to not to need them either. Michiru prided herself on this independence. Her detachment and disdain for everyone else let her position herself as better than them all in her mind.

Haruka was first to ruin her perfect detachment, but I think when they have kids it’s an even bigger thing. Michiru can hold Haruka up as the single good point of humanity, but kids take even that away. She doesn’t love them because they’re pure beautiful good people, she loves them because they’re her kids, her bratty, messy, imperfect kids. And the illusion that she could ever survive without people, without these people, is utterly shattered.

I love reading about people’s romantic lives, I’m a huge sap. I think it’s a great sign!!! Many good lucks =)

Aw, thank you!
I’ll probably keep posting little updates, because when I’m excited I can’t keep things to myself. And this was a crush I didn’t think would ever go anywhere, so it suddenly seeming like it is has me in a constant state of oh my god.
