The Dark, Twisted Tragedy Of Queen Nehelenia

While I really like Queen Nehelenia as the Evil Queen/Maleficent hybrid incarnation of nightmares and darkness from Takeuchi's work, I still gotta give credit to the 90's Toei SuperS anime incarnation of the queen, who was every bit as malevolent and frightening but, with the alterations made to her, is also layered and so damn fascinating on top of that, and I find the tragedy of her character arc to be so heartrending, so disturbing, so haunting, that I had to post about it. Disclaimer: this is purely about Queen Nehelenia from the Dream Arc covered in Sailor Moon SuperS, not the one from the Nightmare Arc of Sailor Moon Stars, which does not exist for me

The backstory for Queen Nehelenia in this series is that she comes from "the other side of the Moon", really a small asteroid that orbited Earth's moon. She was so renowned and adored for her ravishing beauty by all the other inhabitants of this dominion that she was made the ruler of the colony kingdom formerd there, a kingdom with a bright, colorful party/carnival theme to it. The young queen was praised 24/7 for how beautiful she was and routinely spoiled by her rettainers with parties and gift giving in her honor. As you'd expect, this made her very vain, sheltered and flighty, but she was far from a bad person. She actually seems quite sweet, generous and demure, more of a Snow White than a Queen Grimhilde. However, one of the gifts she was given was a very particular...shall we say magic mirror.

And since the mirror was believed to be magic, she does the whole "mirror mirror" thing and wishes to see her future, wishes to know that she is still beautiful and loved by all for many years to come. But instead, a haggard, wrinkled, hideously worn face emerges from the darkness behind the looking glass. In retrospect, we can classify this as the original Zirconia, the first distorted reflection of Nehelenia.

Not only is Nehelenia's reflection aged and hideous, but she begins to see the room around her changing to how it would look years in the future, decaying and full of cobwebs threaded across everything. Upon realizing that the ugly old hag in the mirror is her reflection and is representative of her in the far future, Nehelenia freaks out and has a nervous breakdown as she then starts hearing the voice of the hag in the mirror speaking to her: "Always remember not to forget, a child's dream is a dream that they should never get." Over and over.

Now what I find so sad about this is that what I believe is really going on here is that the mirror, though cursed and twisted by evil power, is displaying to the young queen the worst possible version of her future; a future where her dream, to stay beautiful and loved by all forever, fails to come true. It's not a future that's absolutely set in stone, but it's a possible future should Nehelenia set her life down a certain course. The words she hears, the "Always remember not to forget..." rhyme, are telling her that if she, growing up from childhood into adulthood, does not grow up her dream along with herself, instead clinging to the exact same dream she had as a child, then that very dream will be unattainable. Which makes sense seeing as you cannot fight or stop aging, it happens to everyone. Perhaps if Nehelenia found a new, more feasible dream to work towards, it would make her happy and she'd not age as poorly as what the reflection showed her. But instead, Nehelenia just stood in front of the mirror for longer periods, watching her reflection go from young to old to back young again to back old again to young again, and it entranced her, misleading her mind and corrupting her heart, the darkness of the mirror and her own heart's darkness becoming one.

From Queen Nehelenia's spirit bonding with the mirror, Zirconias are created. Yes, Zirconias. Malformations of Nehelenia's soul made to ressemble her worst nightmare, distorted to look even freakier than the initital old crone reflection did. The Zirconia that ran the Dead Moon Circus for her is merely one that she was able to let loose from her later mirror prison and was given sentience of her own. In the finale we even see a new Zirconia be spawned from right out of her!

YIKES.

So Nehelenia allowed her kingdom to decay into the exact sort of cobweb covered ruin that she saw that day, all while using the magic she acquired from the mirror to rip the dream mirrors from all of her subjects and servants, consuming their dreams for herself, which makes their souls spontaneously waste away and their forms change into sideshow freaks - "the living corpses of her people" as Nehelenia refers to them. The asteroid was no longer a dark moon - it was now a Dead Moon. And that is how the Dead Moon Circus came to be.

But there were only so many dreams to feed off of, and they alone would not sustain Nehelenia's dream for eternity. This got her to turn her attention back to the place she'd always envied, the White Moon Kingdom of Silver Millennium. That kingdom's queen, Serenity, was actually physically ageless thanks to the power of her Silver Crystal, and her kingdom had always been more prosperous than the Dead Moon's shabbier tent-filled colony. Queen Nehelenia began coveting Queen Serenity's position, kingdom, and crystal. If she could usurp her as Queen of the Moon, she could become a goddess-like ruler who could scour the galaxy for more beautiful dreams and with her power dominate the entire universe so that all its inhabitants would be made to worship her and adore her for her everlasting beauty. So she traveled to the realm of Elysian (shown to be a physical planet in the anime, so we know Nehelenia has the ability to voyage to other worlds at this time) in hopes she could obtain the Silver Crystal's counterpart, the Golden Crystal, held by Elysian's guardian Helios, which would grant her the power to overtake Serenity. Helios allowed her within its reach, but the crystal sensed her dark intentions and repelled her with golden flames, rejecting her as its master. Cast out for the darkness of her heart, a furious Queen Nehelenia embraced this identity as a "queen of darkness" and attempted to invade the White Moon with her own dark powers. It did not go so well for her. She was sealed away into her own magic mirror and cast off into a dreamscape when the New Moon (a lunar eclipse) came around.

We know the rest. As the dreamscape is tied to Elysian, Nehelenia was able to conquer Elysian and corrupt it into a state of decay and misery plagued by nightmares. Helios' spirit left his body and fled to Earth in the form of a pegasus. And during a solar eclipse, the Dead Moon was able to travel to Earth and set up their circus there to do their wicked queen's bidding. From here Queen Nehelenia is played up as a straightforward sinister villain until Helios is back in his original body in Episode 37. Helios simply gives the queen a fierce, judgmental yet pitying look just like he gave her on the day she failed to take the Golden Crystal and Nehelenia has a panic attack over it, and during this we see wrinkles beginning to form under her eyes. This gives extra incentive for Nehelenia to seemingly kill Helios as she rips the Golden Crystal from off his head, and enjoys doing so.

Then there's the "Zirconia as Nehelenia's reflection" reveal. Zirconia and Nehelenia were two sides of the same coin; Zirconia saw her beautiful queen as her fondest dream, while Nehelenia looked at her servant as her worst nightmare, her appearance and voice always disgusting Nehelenia, so she takes great pleasure in doing away with the crone. One hand of Nehelenia comes out from the mirror, and Zirconia's hand starts to glow. Nehelenia's full body comes out, Zirconia's body starts glowing. As Nehelenia fully emerges, Zirconia vanishes. The dark queen is finally free, with Golden Crystal in hand.

During this time, the sky over Tokyo has been darkened by the New Moon, more Dead Moon Circus tents have invaded, citizens who had their dreams stolen have turned into zombie husks, and there are cobwebs. covering. the whole place! Once again bears a striking resemblance to the young Nehelenia's mirror-induced nightmare...

Sure enough, as Nehelenia is blasted with the radiant power of the Golden Crystal, it wears away at her until the physical image of her dream fades and she's exposed for what she truly always was by this point in time - the hideous old hag she saw in the mirror all those years ago. Her pink-toned skin had already gone pale, but now it looks a pale shade of purple. Yes, she looks exactly like Zirconia!

What Nehelenia fails to realize is that she made herself this way. In clinging so desparately to her own would-be eternal dream from her youth, a dream that bases her entire self worth and right to exist on keeping her youth and beauty, in order to prevent the future she saw in the mirror from coming to pass to the point where she'd steal away the dreams of others and leave terrible nightmares in her wake, Nehelenia self-fulfilled the mirror's prophecy. She created the dark environment she'd been surrounded by during her breakdown. She became the wretched old monster that had disgusted and disturbed her so badly. And because of this, she gave up looking for any sort of happiness that did not concern her looks and her childish dream. She isolated herself, wallowed in lonelinesss and succumbed to bitter malice, hatred, and insanity. Queen Nehelenia believes the very idea of losing what she'd cherished the most grants her liscence to embrace nihilism, to lash out in wrath towards others and care for no one but herself and her own dream that she wished so badly could be everlasting. She feared the flow of time and the changes of life, so she preferred to retreat from any reality where she is not a youthful, beautiful, majestic and powerful goddess among all women. She is the living embodiment of childish self-absorption and nihilism, stuck on her own vanity and willfully stagnating in internal growth.

But as Usagi told directly to the face of this cautionary tale, "I'm not like you." Usagi sees her own cherished thing, her "dream" in the form of her future daughter, ripped away from her right before her eyes when Nehelenia throws the child off the levitating, crumbling palace. But rather than give into despair, loneliness, envy and hateful rage like Nehelenia hopes she will, Usagi takes a dive right after Chibi Usa, still willing to fight for the best possible future she knows is possible (Crystal Tokyo) rather than be overcome by dread of the worst possible future to the point of losing herself along with her care for others. Nehelenia is unable to do this. She is internally broken well past the point where she is capable of doing this. So while Sailor Moon dives towards a scary reality with an uncertain future, Queen Nehelenia retreats from it, willingly sealing herself back into her mirror as it's lifted up towards the New Moon. She is condemned to a lonesome eternity in complete darkness, stuck in a limited, stagnant space within the mirror with nothing and no one around her but her own self and her dream. But hey, she has her dream. She's got her youthful good looks, her precious beauty. She's all alone with just her dream of everlasting beauty, and that's just what she wants, right? She's happy this way! Happy ending....right??? And so vanishes the queen into the blackness of the New Moon, never to be seen again.

Always remember not to forget, not to let dream become delusion instead. Because otherwise, you end up like Queen Nehelenia.

Bonus: Queen Nehelenia's chilling theme music.

           PHOTOSHOOT: MARINA FOR REFINERY29

Marina dropped off the face of the earth but this won’t stop me from serving you fashion! Let’s take a trip down memory lane and revisit one of her most amazing editorial shoots. In February of 2019, Marina was photographed by Leeor Wild for Refinery29.

For the first look, our girl sported a full Sies Marjan Spring/Summer 2019 look which includes the Tommie lilac wool blazer with peak lapels and apron detail which fully wraps around the waist, and the Sula croc-embossed dusty magenta plastic layered skirt.

She layered it with one of the Acne Studios Spring/Summer 2019 Kana ribbed cotton mock neck tops in white.

You’ll find a lot of sculpturesque jewelry spread throughough this editorial. Mounser is a brand that definitely fits the bill with their Spring/Summer 2019 orbit-inspired earring and Corkscrew earring featuring cubic zirconia crystals.

For the second look, Marina poses in a coral-colored plissé bat sleeve top from the Spring/Summer 2019 presentation of Zero + Maria Cornejo. 

She paired it with an off-white apron-style skirt featuring a panel full of iridescent paillettes from Italian emerging designer label DROMe’s Spring/Summer 2019 collection.

These interesting silver drop earrings with molten effect hail from the aforementioned Mounser jewelry collection.

Lots of low heels for this shoot! These Naima colorblocked PVC pumps in "Sun Fluorescent" are signed by Maryam Nassir Zadeh.

Iconic designer Marc Jacobs proposed polka dots, ruffles and other epic silhouettes for his Spring/Summer 2019 collection. Here, M wore the flocked-dot dimensional off-the-shoulder blouse in apple-green & white with a pair of high-waisted ivory wool pants featuring contrast black stripes along the sides.

The Welsh beauty completed her look with a pair of Annie Costello Brown's Circle Scroll gold statement hoop earrings. She also wears a pair of Manolo Blahnik heels that we cannot see.

For the penultimate look, Marina wore a full look from DROMe’s Spring/Summer 2019 collection which included a fuchsia patent leather belted jacket and matching shorts.

Another pair of Annie Costello Brown earrings and these GRAY MATTERS leather mules in white with an egg-shaped lucite heel pulled the look together. How fun!

For her last look, Marina sported a full ensemble from the Camilla and Marc Spring/Summer 2019 lookbook. It comprised the Juliana blue pleated midi dress and a mustard-colored version of one of the ribbed turtenecks.

Layered underneath her dress is Rejina Pyo's Spring/Summer 2019 Sophie cyan organza blazer with notched lapel and large golden buttons.

Sculpturesque silhouettes return with these Monica Sordo x Nausheen Shah white acrylic-coated shoulder duster earrings with gold-plated brass elements. Beyoncé is a fan of these as well!

Last but definitely not least, M finished her ensemble with a pair of Tibi's "Marcus" perforated leather tie ankle mules.

Exploring the Different Types of Dental Crowns and Their Benefits

Dental crowns are a common solution in restorative dentistry, serving to protect, restore, and enhance the functionality of damaged or decayed teeth. They are custom-made caps that fit over existing teeth, providing strength and improving aesthetics. With various materials available for dental crowns, understanding the differences can help patients make informed decisions regarding their oral health. This article explores the different types of dental crowns, their benefits, and considerations for choosing the right one.

What Are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are designed to cover a tooth that is damaged, weakened, or significantly decayed. They can also be used to hold a dental bridge in place, cover a dental implant, or enhance the appearance of a discolored or misshapen tooth. The process typically involves several steps, including tooth preparation, impressions, and the placement of a temporary crown until the permanent one is ready.

Types of Dental Crowns

1. Porcelain Crowns

Porcelain crowns are made entirely of dental porcelain, offering a natural appearance that closely resembles the color and translucency of natural teeth. They are often used for front teeth where aesthetics are paramount.

Benefits:

Excellent aesthetic qualities

Biocompatible, reducing the risk of allergic reactions

Resistant to staining

Considerations:

Less durable than metal crowns; may not be ideal for back teeth

Can be more expensive than other options

2. Metal Crowns

Metal crowns are made from various alloys, including gold, palladium, or nickel. They are known for their strength and longevity, making them suitable for back teeth that endure significant chewing forces.

Benefits:

Highly durable and resistant to wear

Require less tooth removal for placement

Can withstand heavy biting forces

Considerations:

Aesthetic concerns, as they do not match the color of natural teeth

Potential for allergic reactions in some individuals with metal sensitivities

3. Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns

PFM crowns combine the strength of metal with the aesthetic appeal of porcelain. They consist of a metal base covered with a layer of porcelain, providing a balance between durability and appearance.

Benefits:

Good aesthetic qualities while maintaining strength

Versatile, suitable for both front and back teeth

Durable and less likely to chip compared to all-porcelain crowns

Considerations:

The metal base may show through if the gum recedes

Can be more challenging to match the porcelain color perfectly

4. Zirconia Crowns

Zirconia crowns are made from a strong ceramic material known for its durability and biocompatibility. They offer an excellent aesthetic finish and can be used in various locations in the mouth.

Benefits:

Highly durable and resistant to fractures

Aesthetically pleasing, with a color that mimics natural teeth

Less wear on opposing teeth compared to metal crowns

Considerations:

Initial cost may be higher compared to other crown types

Certain techniques may be required for proper placement

5. Resin Crowns

Resin crowns, often referred to as composite crowns, are made from a tooth-colored resin material. They are typically used as a temporary solution but can also serve in specific cases where aesthetics are critical.

Benefits:

Aesthetic appeal due to their tooth-like color

Cost-effective compared to other materials

Quick and easy to place

Considerations:

Less durable and may wear down more quickly than other crown types

More prone to staining and chipping

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Dental Crown

When selecting a dental crown, several factors should be considered to ensure the best choice for individual needs:

1. Location of the Tooth

The position of the tooth plays a significant role in determining the type of crown. Anterior (front) teeth often require a more aesthetic material, such as porcelain or Zirconia, while posterior (back) teeth may benefit from the strength of metal or PFM crowns.

2. Bite and Jaw Alignment

Patients with strong bites or grinding habits may require more durable materials. Metal crowns or Zirconia may be better suited for those who need crowns for molars due to their ability to withstand significant force.

3. Aesthetic Preferences

For many patients, aesthetics are a priority, especially for visible teeth. Porcelain and Zirconia crowns offer excellent aesthetic qualities, while metal crowns may be less desirable for those concerned about appearance.

4. Allergies and Sensitivities

Individuals with metal allergies should avoid metal crowns and consider alternatives such as porcelain or Zirconia. Consulting with a dental professional can help identify the best material based on any sensitivities.

5. Cost and Longevity

Cost can be a significant factor in the decision-making process. While porcelain and Zirconia crowns may have higher upfront costs, their durability can make them more cost-effective in the long run. Patients should weigh the initial cost against the expected lifespan of the crown.

The Dental Crown Procedure

The dental crown procedure typically involves multiple visits to the dentist. Here’s an overview of the steps involved:

1. Initial Consultation

The dentist evaluates the tooth and discusses treatment options with the patient. X-rays may be taken to assess the extent of damage or decay.

2. Tooth Preparation

The affected tooth is shaped to accommodate the crown. This may involve removing some of the tooth structure to ensure a proper fit.

3. Impressions

Once the tooth is prepared, impressions are taken to create a custom crown. Digital impressions may also be used, allowing for more precise fitting.

4. Temporary Crown Placement

While waiting for the permanent crown, a temporary crown is placed to protect the prepared tooth.

5. Permanent Crown Placement

Once the permanent crown is ready, the dentist will remove the temporary crown and place the new one, ensuring a proper fit and bite before cementing it in place.

Care and Maintenance of Dental Crowns

Caring for dental crowns is essential to ensure their longevity. Here are some tips for maintaining crowns:

Good Oral Hygiene: Brush and floss regularly to prevent decay around the crown and maintain gum health.

Avoid Hard Foods: Be cautious with hard foods that could damage the crown, especially with porcelain or resin crowns.

Regular Dental Checkups: Routine visits to the dentist can help monitor the condition of the crown and surrounding teeth.

Use a Night Guard: For individuals who grind their teeth, a night guard can protect crowns from excessive wear.

Conclusion

Dental crowns are an effective solution for restoring damaged teeth, enhancing aesthetics, and providing long-lasting protection. With various types available, including porcelain, metal, PFM, Zirconia, and resin crowns, patients can choose the best option based on their individual needs and preferences. Factors such as tooth location, bite strength, aesthetic desires, and cost should all be considered when making a decision. By understanding the benefits and characteristics of each type of crown, individuals can work with their dental professionals to find the most suitable solution for their oral health. With proper care and maintenance, dental crowns can last many years, contributing to a healthy and confident smile.
