“Apparently, everyone’s scared and won’t talk to me.”
“Why are they scared of such a lovely girl like you? They must be crazy!”

This is really interesting to me. Why does this phrase give her a flashback? My mind goes two places.
The first is just that SilMil Jupiter believed in love absolutely, and so was the most encouraging to Serenity about Endymion, which brought about the destruction of the moon kingdom.
The second is somewhere I never expected my mind to go. I don’t usually ship SenshixShitennou (though depending on the version, there’s usually one pairing of the four that I go for), but Crystal is doing interesting things. So I’m kind of thinking this is something Nephrite said in their past life.
Nephrite recognizes Jupiter when she’s attacking him. He specifically remarks that he remembers that look. It makes sense that she attacked him in the previous life.
I think she killed him. And I think he let her.
Believe in love and ruin yourself? Bring it on.
They’re at war. It’s kill or be killed. Nephrite chooses not to kill her. He chooses love at his own expense, because Jupiter would never choose the love of a man over the love of her princess.
I’m actually really interested to see how Crystal handles the Senshi and Shitennou. Part of me doesn’t want them to have all of them linked romantically, but part of me wants to see how interesting they make it. Did all of the senshi kill their respective shitennou in the Silver Milenium? How did their feelings differ? (I don’t know that I’ll ever get behind Mars/Jaedite (I’m too attached to Mars being ace), but the rest… I’m excited).
OKAY LET ME EXPLAIN WHY THIS HURTS
Cause we understand the ‘fooled’ part. I don’t know if the Senpai intentionally lead Makoto on, but clearly from Makoto’s view, he did and it hurt. So the ‘fooled’ is expected.
But the ‘appearances’? Holy shit, that’s about her.
Makoto is too tall. Makoto is too big. Makoto is is too strong. Makoto is not girly or lovely or sweet. She is a scary girl with super human strength. She is not allowed to be romantic and girly. She can’t be. Her appearance says otherwises.
And this is where I wonder what exactly Makoto believes here.
That Usagi fooled her into believing for a moment that she was lobvely and girly.
Or that Makoto is the one who fooled Usagi—because she truly can not be what Usagi said she was.
Look at her appearance.
This scene hurts so much.
I’m definitely still interpreting it as she slept with him (though I absolutely support people who see it differently; teach me your ways because that’d hurt so much less).
The thing here is, Mako’s not nervous. She’s doing her best to appear casual, but she’s happy. She believes senpai loves her; she has no reason in the world to think he’ll say no. She probably thinks they’re dating. They never said they were, but he was so nice and they did things and how could they not be together?
But now he has a girlfriend.
Didn’t he tell her?
No, he forgot her. He used her and forgot her and found a real girlfriend.
Was I fooled? Makoto asks after this flashback. She believed he loved her so much. I think she still believed he loved her even after this. He just fell out of love or she did something wrong or he just fell more in love with the other girl. Of course he loved her. Makoto has to believe that.
And the realization that maybe he didn’t crushes her. If they could do those things without love, what even is love? And if he didn’t love her, then has anyone loved her since her parents’ death? Maybe no one ever will. Maybe no one will ever see past her rough exterior.
But that’s not true either. Usagi is there, Usagi has seen how lovely Makoto is, Usagi will love Makoto with all her heart, and the others will too. And that’s all Makoto needs. Just a little love, a little support, someone to tell her, for the first time in years, that she’s wonderful.
