#i am biased toward this show and am willingly turning a blind eye to some of it's weirdness. this is me knowing i am. it's old. i grew up-

rini is back on my public roster. her page was never inaccessible but now it's more obvious. a few psa's regarding s.ailor moon as a whole and my portrayal of rini:

yes, the age gap between mamoru and usagi is weird thirty years later. a 14/15 year old with a 18/19 old is a bit much, but the manga was of it's time. i don't really care strictly because of my own bias and i'll own that. if i watched an anime today with a heroine falling for a college student, i'd be weirded out. but i've enjoyed sailor moon for over twenty years. it doesn't bother me. if it bothers you, please let me know and i'll tag appropriately.

that being said, as a kid watching sailor moon, all the characters felt old to me: as a result, i've always struggled to see chibi usa as young as she is meant to be. i've been consuming this media since i was literally five and i always saw rini as older than she was written to be, possibly due to the s.exualization in general that was done with the girls in the show. in addition, the characters were portrayed as growing up throughout the series. that being said, when not writing with someone else, my mini moon defaults to 16 or 18. i specifically have her listed as canon divergent for this reason. i'm more interested in exploring her character as a princess, as a shadow to her mother, and finding her own role in the universe than i am as a bratty child, lol.

i know her love interest is... an ageless pegasus. i don't care. if we're being technical, none of the sailor scouts are Human, so??? gestures???? i don't care.
