Seiya’s been just kind of standing in the backgrond for this whole scene, and then she finally steps forward and says this out of nowhere, someone please save this butch from herself

THIS IS WHY NO ONE INVITES YOU TO PARTIES, TAIKI
She’s a combination of the annoying theater kids and the guy who always brings his guitar to play wonderwall and it’s amazing
Setsuna’s like “Um excuse me you and Mamoru are my OTP and also I’m pretty sure two wars were fought for you to be together, I don’t think–”
“Shhhhhh it’s not cheating if they’re famous Mamoru will understand.”
And Yaten judges it all
The gag of passing something you don’t want to do onto someone else like this always gets me, the way Usagi is just like “yeah okay!” and moves onto Yaten is a simple joke but man it always kills me
but like, what the fuck is Yaten doing
WHERE DID YOU GET THAT ROSE. ARE YOU DOING THE FUCKING COOL LEAN? WHO ARE YOU POSING FOR?
This is always the cutest joke, I love that Setsuna doesn’t go for the “he loves you he would never look at anyone else” line that’s often used in situations, she goes for “you have the very quality you just referred to“ which is so much more helpful to Usagi, who I think can’t conceptualize people loving her enough not to leave as an idea unto itself.
It’s such an understated way to imply that since Mamoru has Usagi, he doesn’t need anyone else. Right before this, Usagi calls Setsuna a mom, but I think this puts her more as an older sister, someone who has a little more wisdom, but is still close to how you feel in the moment, and I love Setsuna getting that role, she’s still set apart from the others, but she can connect to them on a level we don’t really get to see elsewhere.
Brought on by that one post in my liveblog about Haruka thinking Michiru wants to draw her like one of her french girls, it’s a fic!
Laid Bare
~1800 words
A misunderstanding leads to surprising, quiet intimacy when Michiru asks to draw Haruka. Set durring S.
This one’s a rare foray into something resembling canon compliance, which isn’t what I normally write from.
Lunchtime!! I’ll be back soon.
I don’t have a good cap for it, but Anza and Yuuta are a pair that make me stupid feelsy about Usagi and Mamoru, even while I think Anza has amazing chemistry with Sayuri.
There’s just something very warm and settled and affectionate in their dynamic, and it comes through even in moments like Lonely Distance where they don’t really interact directly.
thank you for blogging about this Myu it is my favorite and i havent watched in so long but Yaten and Taiki characterizations are everything and i love your comments!!
awwwww thank you!!! I love this myu so much, and it’s been way too long since I watched any of the old myus. I hope you continue to enjoy the liveblog!
Lady Killer Yaten is HILARIOUS to me, First Stage Yaten is generally so different than in other versions and my own interpretation, and the idea that they’d show an interest in ANYONE makes me laugh
AS DOES SEIYA’S WHAT?? GIRLS? NO, I LIKE SPORTS. FUN. I DON’T THINK USAGI IS CUTE WHAT?? I HAVE TO GO MAKE SOME TOUCHDOWNS NOW BECAUSE OF HOW LITTLE I LIKE GIRLS
