Sailor Moon 30 Day Challenge- Day 8
Favorite Villain

I really love both the manga and anime versions of Galaxia. I think she’s he strongest villain in the serious, both in terms of power and the way she’s written. She has such huge success before targeting Sailor Moon, and the fight against Chaos is an amazing backstory. The way she fights is so meticulous and sadistic in both versions. She knows how to strike Usagi the hardest. She comes so close to success because she’s so good at hurting people. And even so she’s human enough to be engaging. 

Plus her outfit is five kinds of amazing.

Couple You Wished Existed

Makoto and Ami are my non-canon otp. They’re just so sweet together. It took a long time for them to overtake Minako/Rei because they don’t have that kind of ridiculous blazing chemistry. They have a much quieter connection. The older I get, the more I love that about them.
I think what would make them work is that although they both have their insecurities, in general they’re straightforward people. They don’t play mind games. And that adds so much to their already caring natures. When either of them is upset, the other knows and they can work together to make things better. Plus they fit  into the roles that they’ve lacked for a lot of their lives. Ami needs someone attentive and warm, since her family is so distant, and Mako needs someone just as caring, but who’ll do mature things like remind her to study (and later in life, when Mako owns her bakery/flower shop, Ami absolutely 100% does her personal and business taxes for her. She’d try to teach her how to do them herself but then would figure out it’s easier to just do them for her. And Mako would always bake something nice as a thank you.)
Basically they’d just be the happiest, most comfortable couple in the world, and if ever a pairing was added to the SM-verse, I’d want them.

Best Friendship

At first I had a hard time making a choice for this day. But the moment I started thinking about PGSM, I knew my decision. It might be an odd one, since it’s mostly just shown in one episode. But god, this episode.
I love Makoto and Rei because they’re almost not friends. If they met in some other random circumstance and were left alone, they wouldn’t get past the vague acquaintance stage. But they have this thing, this huge, impossible to ignore, being a soldier thing, that links them and opens the door for them to connect. And then they still don’t. Mako has these friends now and she loves them so much that she’ll do anything and she doesn’t understand why Rei won’t. And Rei (though she wouldn’t admit it) ALSO has these friends and loves them, but she wants them to improve and doesn’t understand why Mako is fine with letting them stagnate.
Until it’s her.
The moment Rei realizes Mako thought she was being kidnapped and chased the car all the way to the hotel, the moment Mako stands up to Rei’s father’s associates for her, that’s the moment they click. Rei believes what she says about getting better alone, she believes in independence and not needing anyone, but a little secret part of her wants someone to be there for her so badly. And Makoto is there. She’s there forcing people out of the room and making escape plans and actually listening to Rei and it’s more than Rei’s had in a long time.
But it’s not one-sided. In PGSM Mako has so much trouble with her feminine side, and Rei breaks that down a little. Rei is actually someone who doesn’t like girly things and boys, but she makes it so clear that it’s okay Mako does like those things. She teases her, but the message isn’t, “It’s funny boyish Mako-chan likes such cute things.” It’s, “It’s funny you’re so embarrassed about liking such cute things.”
There’s just so much acceptance between them. Rei accepts who Makoto really is, Makoto accepts that Rei can’t love her father. They accept that they’ve had similar losses but they happened very differently and had different effects. And they accept that no matter what they say, they’ll always end up helping Usagi as much as they can.
Even though it wasn’t touched on much for the rest of the show, and even though it wasn’t really dealt with in the other canons at all, there’s enough just in this one episode for me to love it forever.

Favorite Character Recently

Usagi isn’t my favorite character when I’m thinking just in terms of Sailor Moon (that’s Mako forever and always), but when I think of the world in general, she’s number one. She’s so important. Usagi is this perfect imperfect force of love and there’s no character I’ve ever needed more. There’s so many reasons to love her, but her love is really the bottom line for me. She goes through so much, and she never stops loving her friends and her prince and the world. And she would love you too. That’s so comforting to me. She’s my inspiration and strength when things aren’t going well, because not only would she get through it if it was her, but she would help you through it if she knew you. Just. So much love.

Favorite character when you were younger

I’m a Jupiter fan for life, but I loved her for pretty different reasons when I was younger. Back then I was a sucker for anyone with hair like mine (Misty was like 70% of the reason I first got into Pokémon), and while Mako/Lita’s hair wasn’t actually red, it was closer than anyone else’s, AND was long and wavy. Plus little me thought of her as a tomboy, and little me loved tomboy characters.
And little me wouldn’t have consciously thought it, but I also loved her for the pure fact that she was bigger than the other girls. Until middle school I was always one of the biggest kids in my class (for both height and weight), and even though she wasn’t any chubbier than the other girls, I loved her for being the “big” one.

Sailor Moon 30 Day Challenge- Day 1

What age you started watching Sailor Moon

I first saw some of the Doom Tree arc at age four/five. I mostly remember that I wore red knee socks for like a week because I thought Sailor Moon’s boots were socks, but I also know I saw the episode where the Inner Senshi regain their memories, because for years I thought that was the beginning of the show. After that I got the movies, and those was my only experience until about age nine, when one of my parents found the first six (dub) episodes on DVD and bought it for me. I got really confused because the real beginning was different from the beginning my little brain had held onto for so long. Unfortunately, before I could really get into it and investigate, I made the mistake of trying to watch with my friends, who informed me that Sailor Moon was dumb and squashed my enthusiasm for awhile.
And by “awhile” I mean until I was sixteen. At the time I was looking for new things to do as the internet, as it was going on two years since the last Harry Potter book had come out and the fansites and fanfiction had ceased to be engaging enough for me. So somehow or another I came across the manga online, as well as the dub on youtube. For a lot of reasons, I had a hard time getting into the anime (it was so time consuming, and I was still too embarrassed to let anyone see I was watching it so I had to do it when I was home alone, plus I wasn’t experienced enough to look for a sub right away), so I didn’t actually get through to the end of stars until my freshman year of college. But I loved the manga right away, and it was enough to get me into the franchise.
