SAILOR SENSHI 20TH ANNIVERSARY ALUMNI REUNION - FANSUBBED

EDIT on Jan 3rd: SORRY. I couldn't stand how many mistakes I see in my edit despite multiple checks I've done before Jan 1st... I ended up reuploading the videos instead. Can't guarantee it's perfect now, but it's much better (from the creator's perspective.) Anyone who reblogged before Jan 3rd will have the old link that's now broken.

This is the TV version, aired on CBC in Japan on December 25th, 2023.

Due to YouTube's upload length limit, the show has been split into 3 parts based on the provided commercial breaks. The videos are unlisted on YouTube, so cannot be searched, instead only accessed by the proper web link.

Some notes & disclaimer:

1. I’m not a fluent Japanese speaker, but I do know Hiragana, Katakana, basic Japanese grammar and kanji, and a few good tools to use for translation. All’s to say, all mistakes are mine. Sorry if there’s any!

2. I’m also not a professional translator. Due to the grammar differences between Japanese and English, some sentences will sound awkward in English for the conversation to make sense.

3. This really was a casual chat for the ladies, so they kept talking over each other. I tried to highlight all the chit-chats with colour-coded subtitles matching their Senshi colours. Because of this I tried different formatting and decided on the layout you see now, even if it's still a bit messy, and some subtitles are quite fast-paced. Sorry if it doesn't look good or is tough to read. :(

4. The character “会”(kai) in “戦士会” (senshi-kai) can be translated into: - “Club”, a noun for group; - “Meetup” or “reunion”, a noun and synonym for “event”. Depending on context, you will see “戦士会” (senshi-kai) translated into “Senshi Club” or “Senshi Reunion.”

PART 1

PART 2

PART 3

Upcoming:

I will be working on a subtitled version of Miyuu's behind-the-scene video of this program. (JAN 7th EDIT: The subbed version is available here!)

A Director's Cut version will be made available in Japan on Jan 9, 2024. I'll keep an eye out if there's a copy floating around. If there's any difference in that version, I'll also make a subtitled version for sharing as well. If there are any translation mistakes I've made in this current round of subtitling, I'll also take the chance to rectify them in the new version.

PLEASE ENJOY, REBLOG AND SHARE! 🌙

Happy Dungeon Meshi Day!

Episode 12 is finally here and it was an equally suspenseful and beautiful journey. I wanted to honor Laios and Falin's reunion with one of my favorite scenes from their childhood together, which in all honesty now feels like my favorite manga coloring I've ever made.

Hope you all enjoy, and thanks to everyone who has enjoyed my works so far! Links below the cut ☆

If you like this, feel free to follow me here on tumblr or on reddit where this was first posted, along with all of my other manga colorings, or check out the links below to my previous Dungeon Meshi pages!

☆ Chilchuck : 1, 2, 3

☆ Marcille : 1, 2*

☆ Falin : 1

☆ Senshi : 1

☆ Laios : 1

☆ Full Party: 1

[szalnyshko]

(•Д•), Dunmeshi is over taking me!! [spoilers ahead!]

So, I’ve already finished the manga and I’m now waiting for the new episode but during the gap I’ve been consuming fandom content, as per use. Now, the character that I’ve been consuming the most fandom content is Laios cause he’s so jdjdjsjs, and this idea has been fluttering round my head because I’ve only seen THREE actual posts/works about this. Two being fics and one being a tumblr post.

The specific idea is a sibling swap, Falin and Laios, and I’m suffering from lack of content from it!! Only two fics and one tumblr post [ТдТ] One of the fics is Laios and making his desire to be to swap with Falin, and what he thinks will happen. The other is Falin going through the dungeon to save Laios and it’s specific the episode that’s coming out this Thursday, so chapter 27/28 in manga I think.

Like this concept really gets me going cause it changed the whole dynamic of how things would play out. Laios being there meant they met Senshi because Laios was interested in eating monsters. Falin, although she does have an interest, would not have that strong of an interest in eating monsters. I also feel she may not realise it’s hunger that caused them to fail because she was focused on protecting her brother and the party, literally letting herself get eaten to save her brother. She also would not have intimate knowledge of monsters so the party may have a harder time killing monsters.

I think Marcille and Chilchuck would still be in the party. Marcille doesn’t seem to have a deep connection with Laios at the start, with her clashing with Laios and his monster eating habits. Plus the prior encounter where she wanted to kill him for taking Falin away from magic school. This bond deepens between them as they go down the dungeon and she obviously cares for the rest of the party, feeling betrayed that Namari and Shuro [I keep forget your actual name] left. But I feel if it were Lauos to get eaten she wouldn’t be as motivated as she is with Falin [Lesbian icon!] because she doesn’t get to connect with him. This then brings into question, would she revive Laios and risk being jailed by the elves?

She probably would because it’s Falin who asked but there would be more hesitation. Especially with Chilchuck who is against it no matter what.

Talking about Chilchuck, I feel he would stay out of obligation. The same reason he stayed with Laios originally. I think his dynamic wouldn’t change that much but maybe he’d see Falin and Marcill closer to his daughters [?] or maybe he’d have a gripe cause of their relationship as we already know he doesn’t do inter party relationships.

Namari would still leave but I think Shuro would be more hesitant, his love for Falin possibly making him stay for a little bit.

Of course we have the problem with money and food but I think Falin has enough people skills to gather some things. But, because she lived with Laios for some time and heard about his monster fantasies, maybe she’d consider eating monsters. I feel people would be more likely to listen to her rather than Laios [sorry buddy] but still question it. However, Shuro did have a whole crew so maybe he’d help with that and we’d have a whole different crew dynamic.

Talking about that, I wonder how Kabru and his party would interact with Falin’s party. How’d the Namari reunion go? What would Falin’s desire be? How would the finale fight be? Would Laios have a cool chimera bod like Falin?

So many questions for my tiny brain….

Hero Vision Vol.1 (2000/Winter) Changerion Reunion Interviews ft. Takashi Hagino & Aizawa Kazunari (translations below)

Publication: December 31, 2000

Takashi Hagino & Aizawa Kazunari: After 4 years, a date in Harajuku

Hey you two, how are you doing these days? It's been 4 years since the end of the broadcast. You two had a fateful encounter in "Choukou Senshi Changerion," an unusual heroic show that still remains popular to this day. We asked Takashi Hagino and Kazunari Aizawa, who say they still get along well with each other, about their memories of those days, and what their future plans are.

Main Interview Section

"I'm going to say it now. I mean it, I'm really going to say it right now! Changerion was really entertaining! It was truly a masterpiece! Suzumura Akira, a happy go lucky, good natured, 182cm tall, cat eyed, beautiful private investigator, and his partner, Hayami Katsuhiko, a 183cm tall, hot blooded and direct individual with a handsome face, are both on the side of justice. Kuroiwa Shogo, the Dark Knight, is an elite who's handsome, also quite tall I guess, and is running for governor of Tokyo in order to seize control of the city. A slapstick comedy and super cool tokusatsu hero show, with a mixture of fiction and reality, something like this most definitely existed in 1996 Tokyo. On the day of this interview, I was so excited to hear their voices saying, "Good morning~!" The appearance of those two standing there looked really really cool! And so begins the converstions full of laughter between Takashi Hagino, who plays the main character Suzumura Akira, and Aizawa Kazunari, who plays his partner Hayami Katsuhiko."

-Casting!! Secret Stories?-

Hagino: At that time, the role was the same as it always was, wasn't it? I went to a party at some production company, and someone was like, "Ah, you there," and told to come in for an audition. When I went to it, Shirakura-san, the producer, and Nagaishi-san, the main director, were smiling ear to ear once they saw me. I remember thinking, "What, why are you smiling like that?" I was 22 at the time of my debut, so it was about 5-6 years after I dropped out of high school. Before that, the movies that came out around that time made me think that acting was really interesting.

"You've also appeared in a V-Cinema that contains slightly adult content."

Hagino: It's bad. Please don't watch it (laughs). Watch something else where I look cool.

Kazunari: For me, I had just started acting, and my manager took me to Toei's head office to introduce myself. I announced that I was new and would be in their care, and then a strange old man came up to me and said, "Are you the one?" (everyone laughs).

Hagino: Wait! Was he trying to flirt with you?!

Kazunari: Uh, no, you see, my shoelaces became untied in the hallway, so I had to sit on the floor to retie them. He came up to me and said, "What's wrong?" I said, "Ah, no, I'm an actor," and he said, "Come with me then!" Things got carried away, and before I knew it, I went in for an audition.

Hagino: So, who was that guy?

Kazunari: He was……a really good guy to say the least, I actually don't remember his name.

Hagino: You're terrible! (laughs).

Kazunari: No, no. Look, it's because, it's just…anyway, so, at first, I was reading the script without knowing which one of us would play the role. Then, when it was down to just a few people, they asked me, "Which role do you want to play?" I was like, "Well, Hayami, I guess." I wondered if this was it, and then I passed, I passed……huh.

Hagino: Can we get some more joy here?

Kazunari: Well, it's because I really didn't understand. I didn't really feel it when I was suddenly told that I got the job. What's more, I still had no idea how hard it was going to be. No, rather, you really don't know what's going to happen in this world.

"Thank goodness for untied shoelaces and nice people"

-I'm not awkward!-

Hagino: I was asked to read my lines in front of everyone. Naturally, the producer told me that in the future, he would never have me read my lines at the audition for a leading role ever again (everyone laughs). No, I thought it went really well, and while I was a favorite to play this role, somehow I was also the worst. One of the more important people there looked as if he was going "?" all while tilting his head. He looked really nervous. He said, "From now on, when we present leading role auditions to the higherups, we won't make them read lines." He also said, "If you go with this guy, then shut him up and pick him already."

"It's true, Akira's acting wasn't very good, and I felt so embarrassed watching that I wasn't even able to finish the first episode. But, I could never think of anyone else playing Suzumura Akira but Takashi Hagino, and I still think that way after seeing him again after four years."

Hagino: But, back then, I definitely had some momentum. I was always told "You're a perfect fit for the role of Akira!," and a part of me got carried away over it, it felt like my nose was growing just like Pinocchio, except this nose is of brilliant glass. If Pinocchio's nose was made of glass, it would be really beautiful and sparkling.

"He smiles cheerfully and says that such things give him "the power" to play a role."

Hagino: But, you know, it's going to break someday. When that happens, only then will you understand.

"Afterall, Akira, aren't you suppost to be an adult?"

-First Impressions-

Hagino: We first met in an elevator, right?

Kazunari: Yeah, it was in an elevator. When I was on my way to the audition area.

Hagino: I said, "Huh? What's with the long hair?"

Kazunari: Yeah, it was really long.

Hagino: Incredibly long, it was tied in a single knot, along with wearing black jeans and a black shirt. I noticed him and asked, "What floor?" He said, "8th floor, hurry it up."

Kazunari: You liar! No, I politely said, "I'm going to the 8th floor, please."

Hagino: Well, I don't know, I guess that's just how bad my impression of you was (laughs).

Kazunari: Somehow, I never thought that the two of us would be working together.

Hagino: Yeah, I had costume fitting, and they told me that my partner was coming, and then the absolute worst guy came walking in.

Kazunari: Hey now (laughs).

Hagino: Because we seemed so similar in type, I thought there was no way the two of us would be together. Then he came in. And, as you can see, he's handsome, incredibly so. And…uwah. He stands out just by standing still. I really have to do my best here. Even still, I feel good with this guy. I can't imagine anyone else, as I'm already spoiled being stuck with him.

"Oh? Hayami is smiling shyly as he listens."

-Dramatic Drunks-

Hagino: When we drink together, we end up staying up until morning, right?

Kazunari: Yeah, when I see him, all he does is drink.

Hagino: When drunk, this guy tries jumping backwards. He gets really mad. When he stomps, it makes a nice sound.

Kazunari: I see… (pretending not to know)

Hagino: I end up joining him (grinning)

Kazunari: It seems I do alot of unacceptable things.

Hagino: Not really. He says that like I'm trying to wring it out of him. Well, guess I'll just go home then… (walks straight past him)

Kazunari: I do drink abit too much.

Hagino: I feel like a fighter when it comes to alcohol. I'm trying not to lose my memory here.

Kazunari: This guy makes people drink all the time. He'll ask, "Want some sake?" It seems I don't drink for myself, rather, I only drink due to the influence of other people. (to Hagino) Hey, you, you're the reason I always end up getting drunk.

"As usual, they are the best of friends."

-Acting, Theatre and Films-

Kazunari: Basically, about halfway through Changerion's filming, my impression of him was, "Ah, this guy, he's actually really serious.

"Oh? Somehow, Akira looks very happy."

Hagino: That's because, you know, it took me a long time to properly get into the role.

Kazunari: In our current ranks, we don't get into such big roles on TV or movies. I often get a role at the last minute, and have to act on the spot, so I think that because I can practice for a month on stage, movies really require alot of power in comparison.

Hagino: It's definitely different from Changerion, where we could say, "Let's take our time and work on it." I won't be able to make it if I try to wing it. But, if you ask me if I can act in the moment, I can't play the role of a big shot, because I think it wouldn't come off as authentic, but it'll be the best I can do, so it's important to know how much you can work with in such a short period of time.

Kazunari: I think about it alot. When I get a role, I'll think about it for a long time, doing research by watching similar movies, reading books, and so on, then, build up an image. Finally, once on set, adjust it as I see fit.

Hagino: My perception of acting has changed. I'll still watch the videos, and think, "Wow, I really did it~." But, there are also scenes where I'll say, "Oh, I don't think I can do this now." There are so many scenes like that. Although, it's a great opportunity to get into the swing of things, because you end up transforming yourself. The more I got into the rhythm, my surroundings were also in rhythm, so I was able to stay on track. Changerion was a a unique experience, and I don't think I could have done it alone.

Kazunari: The final broadcast was on Christmas, right?

Hagino: For some reason, I don't want to talk about the final episode. It went something like, I drank alot before the shoot and just had alot of fun, since we basically had a day off…

"Does this mean you were having a rough time before the end of the broadcast?"

Hagino: No, no, that's not it. We had about four days off before we started shooting, and I'd never had such a holiday weekend before, so I got alittle too relaxed.

"Does that mean things ended on good terms?"

Hagino: Yeah ❤️, that's how it felt. That's why I don't want to remember.

Kazunari: Like-I-was-say-ing, you…

Hagino: No, no! For me it may be just a past memory, but it's an important one.

Kazunari: Yeah, it was alot of fun.

"Never ending stories and overflowing emotions. I was happy to meet them. Changerion, beyond time…and for all eternity."

[sailormoonsub]

Random-Mailbox's Favorite Sailor Moon Fics - Week 45 - Reviving Shitennou

This week’s post is about bringing Shitennou back into the fold of the team. I wish that had happened in the manga / anime and am a little disappointed we did not get that in Cosmos. BUT that is what fanfiction is for! (To help us collectively right the wrongs / misses in original materials).

We are exactly ONE week away from @usamamoweek2023! Are you excited? Because I am very excited and am trying to finish my own submissions for this year's prompts

@smquickies2023 prompts are out too - that event is taking place August 6-12 (and is open to any SM pairings).

As always, my apologies in advance for spoiling some of these for you (Fic Titles are linked to either FFN or AO3 entries).

Deal Breaker - ninashtia

Keeping his shitennou being alive and well as a secret from his princess is bound to backfire on Mamoru. But not in the way he had expected.

Reunion - bashfulglowfly

In this story we get to witness the aftermath of the Dark Kingdom arc, but in an AU where Usagi didn't fight alongside our senshi and Tuxedo Mask in Tokyo (she still participated but from halfway across the world).

Embrace the Chaos - @serpentinred

Ami is thrust into keeping secrets and weighing possibilities, when her supervisor introduces her to someone who looks suspiciously like Kunzite. I love the art that @smokingbomber did for this one!

all things that are dark - @fated-addiction

Although this is technically just the first chapter of a fic that will hopefully get finished one day, it could stand as a one-shot as well. It gives glimpses of post-Galaxia thoughts Usagi has as she readies for the future.

The Shitennou Return! A Trip to the Beach in Peril - @chuplayswithfire

Mamoru has been keeping a secret from Usagi, something that she takes in stride and decides that a beach-day together with the girls would be the best way to get everything out in the open and see how it could all work. This fic has art by @mochibuni!

all my friends are dead and they bloody haunt me - @smokingbomber

Usagi, noticing some strange behaviour from Mamoru, takes a peek at what he could be up to. And decides that she can help fix everything.

---

That's it for this week. Reminder - no post next week since it will be UsaMamo Week. We will return to regular posts on July 31st with "Tutoring"

That stupid Reddit topic about that person finding Sailor Galaxia from the 90s anime more intimidating and scary succinctly shows the constant need to shoehorn praise for anything pertaining to the original anime. Like that facebook group you mock, it's THAT blatant. Sailor Galaxia is actually far MORE active in the manga and Cosmos and isn't entirely reliant on her minions as seen by her eviscerating much of the Guardians and Mamoru in the snap of a finger. Whereas, in the 90s anime....

Sailor Galaxia does nothing until the very end of Sailor Stars. The 90s anime ignores one important character motivation: much of what she does in the manga/Cosmos is to torment Usagi (psychological warfare) to force her to come to her home turf and take the Silver Crystal. I don't understand to snobbery coming from Reddit "critiquing" (yeah right) the animation and her new voice actress. Megumi Hayashibara is a prolific seiyuu. Right up there with Kotono Mitsuishi. She does a great job IMHO.

Yeah this don't look intimidating...

None of this look like " I'm about to fuck you up!"

None of her in this photoset looks intimidating..

I swear these folks.

They will not let the 90's anime go for shit to enjoy other versions.

Because 90's anime Galaxia did shit for the whole damn season until the last couple episodes. The only thing she did up to killing the girls and the confrontation was to kill Mamo which happen offscreen. She just sit on that damn chair and did shit. And the 90's anime did a fucking cop out again by saying she was possessed by Chaos and redeeming her.

Could we just a villain for once who just want to fuck up the hero's shit without being possessed?

Who just want want to play chess with the hero?

That is Manga/Cosmos Galaxia to the max and it 's glorious.

Sure I like villains who get redeemed but I love villains who just want to fuck up shit!

And that's Galaxia!

She is playing chess/cat and mouse with Usagi the whole fucking arc!

" I'm coming to fuck up all your shit girl!!"

I saw the leaked clip when she takes out Mamo and all she does is fucking laughs in USAGI'S FACE and leaves with his Star Seed.

That laugh was deranged as fuck!

How fucking deranged can you get?

Then the whole arc ,she and her Sailor Animamates are taking out her sisters left and right, leaving her alone with just her new Allies to travel to Galaxia. With Usagi Psyche is getting more fucked up as each girl is getting turned into sand.

I mean she went to the Outers damn crib to take them out!!

Galaxia was like " If you want me, You have to come to my house to get me! I aint coming to you. I come to you fuck up your shit but the fight is happening in my crib. You want revenge ,met me at Galactica Palace on Sagittarius Zero Star at 5 o'clock! I'll be waiting "

And she does that because she trying to get her close to Chaos.

Galaxia knows that Chaos is using her so she is using him right back. She's like " Hmm Everyone is trash. I come from a trash planet and want to be the strongest senshi in the galaxy! Chaos and Sailor Moon can take each other out and I be ruler of the Galaxy. Sounds like a plan. Let's go!"

Like

This is a bad bitch and her bad bitchness does not end.

So along the way to her crib, she still got her people at different planets taking out Usagi's new found allies. Like freaking blowing up and IMPALING her new allies until she is left with the cute pink small one.

So she finally reaches to Galaxia crib, Galactica Palace on Sagittarius Zero Star at 5 o clock where Galaxia is like.

She told her where she was at and everything and then she had a surprises for her.

"Since you came all this way My dear, I got a surprise for you!"

Boom!

Mamoru

The another surprise

Boom!

Her sisters

What supposed to be a happy reunion/ happy ever after turn into a freaking horror show thanks to Galaxia reanimating them into gotdamn corpses thanks to her damn bracelets.

"Let the fun begin Sailor Moon!" and she's fucking with her again! While Usagi, who she thought was her fam is attacking her with Galaxia attacks. That her own child had to tell her that it not them. Which she had to heartbreaking destroys with her attack.

Which after she does Galaxia is Like " Oh yeah! Their crystal went into the cauldron! If you want them back you got to fight me!"

Which Usagi is like" Lets go bitch!"

And they throw hands!!

All the while taunting her ass with Corpse Mamo by letting him kiss Galaxia boot and everything which she still running up on her to show her the biz.

Then just to still want to fuck with Usagi some more, she throw him into the cauldron which Chibiusa fades.

Which actually this is the moment where Galaxia really breaks Usagi because she thinks she lost everyone to the Cauldon.

Where Usagi is like " Fuck it. I'm done I really lost everyone.

But what does Usagi do

SAVES GALAXIA FROM CHAOS ATTACK TWICE

And when Galaxia ask why this what Usagi says

Like What!

This woman is the reason why she is alone and the reason why she saved her because she doesn't want to lose any more Sailor Senshi and be alone even tho SHE is the reason why the Sailor Senshi are gone because she was hunting them down for the Star Seeds for Chaos.

WE DO NOT DESESEVE USAGI TSKINO PERIOD!

WE DO NOT!

But the way Usagi is like " I'm so done. I lost everyone I love." is heartbreaking and this woman did it her for Chaos and she's saving her.

Which Galaxia realized what a bright star she is when thanks to ChibiChibi which Usagi decides to not give up and

Galaxia fucked Usagi up to the bone and was the only one out of the whole series that almost got redeemed. ( But hell it's a possibility she gets reborn in the Cauldon)

From " Sailor Moon I'm about to Fuck all your Shit Up! I'm coming for everything you love."

to " Sailor Moon You have went through so much and you still have faith. I have found my Star. You shine so bright."

Like! COME ON!!!

That's better than a damn hand shake!

The fact it was said that the animators had to reanimate a scenes in cosmos because her and Kotono was straight up going at it while they was recording.... The fact that this woman is a legend in her own right as much as Kotono... Article is here.

Source

Your work is so damn good that they have to reanimate scenes to fit the performance because you are vet to the game but you are not "intimidating enough" to the 90's anime counterpart.

I mean look at her roles..

Legend as much as Kotono.

Also already was apart of the SM fam.

They are so full of it.

Also this answer a question I had in my in box for a while.

And also these If I think about it.

001 dungeon meshi or 002 susahao :3

i sense a long post so this goes under a cut

| dunmeshi |

Favorite character: I can't choose for my mental health. sorry. I love them all too much

Least Favorite character: ughgh Toshiro. next question

5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): ooh...5? Okay so Farcille, Labru (it's not a must-have for me but I like it romantically or platonically), Laios x monsters, Chilchuck's messy relationship with his (ex)-wife, and lastly. Cithis x me

Character I find most attractive: goddd there are so many hot people in this manga and I'm aroace. it depends on the day but top contenders in no particular order are Kabru, Marcille, Laios, Cithis (see above), and Falin. and we can't not love Kui sensei for giving us the Senshi fanservice the world needed.

Character I would marry: I would marry no one but...objectively speaking? OF COURSE Senshi

Character I would be best friends with: Chilchuck !!

A random thought: The moment where Mithrun cries because "even vegetable scraps have their uses" made me feel like I'd been revived from the dead. dunmeshi is so good.

An unpopular opinion: hmm I don't really know?

My canon OTP: canonically no one like. "ends up together" in the super official sense and I'm happy with that! however farcille can count...i think anyways. it's not even coding it's plain as day

Non-canon OTP: like i said, any ship qualifies !

Most badass character: Senshi, because truly what is more badass than caring for the dungeon ecosystem and your friends' health and wellbeing by cooking them a balanced diet out of monsters. all with a single cooking pot too

Pairing I am not a fan of: Izutsumi x anyone. that girl doesn't want a romantic interest nor does she need one <3

Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): ...no one? I'm gonna finish my reread soon but I highly doubt I'll find one that I'll think was screwed up

Favourite friendship: The whole party warmed my heart. that hug healed me. ALSO honorary mention to Mithrun and Kabru because again the feeling of being restored and learning to feel again is so real. honorary honorary mention to Izutsumi and the rest of the party because that is the cutest thing I have ever seen in my life

when or if I started shipping it: "when I fall under your intense gaze..." I very nearly pointed at the screen and went "YOU'RE BISEXUAL!!"

my thoughts: they invented sapphism actually

What makes me happy about them: I love how Haori does not fucking hesitate to keep flirting with Ryutaro upon finding out that he is in fact Susato. what a queen

What makes me sad about them: the fact that their reunion in-game occurs when Susato is coming back, rushed, on what she assumes to be a family tragedy; and what she finds instead is Haori having been through a horrifically traumatizing event in her absence. both of these girls trying their best to study and have careers in Meiji Japan. the world makes it so fucking difficult for them.

Things done in fanfic that annoys me: it's not so much a specific thing done in fanfic as like, an overarching trend that people tend to fluffify them a ton. i get it they're cute and lighthearted but they're also sixteen-year-olds in a world that is unfair to them. that being said, i also don't like the idea of making them 'tragic' for the drama of it all. let them be happy, but also give them depth basically!

Things I look for in fanfic: i don't read a ton of dgs fic these days but i look for good Haori background and characterization

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: Gina, Maria...and that applies to either of them lol

My happily ever after for them: marriage marriage fraud (I can't take credit for this idea, since I first heard it from Seven ofc! but it's so real to me)

Here's the only fic I wrote for this year's Sailor Moon Rare Pair Week, an angsty post-canon adult Chibi-Usa/Helios story (with a hint of Black Lady) written for today's themes of Make-Up/Break-up. (A tiny bit smutty, but not really enough to really earn an Explicit rating.)

Summary: Princess Lady Serenity returns home after a months-long rescue mission to Kinmoku, anxious to see her beloved Helios again. Though their reunion should have been a happy one, a recurring nightmare causes Serenity to make a heart-breaking decision. (FF.net)

Why hello my friends, Happy New Year!

Spoilers for Sailor Moon Cosmos Ahead :D

Before I even TOUCH the Mamousa scenes, which you all know is coming if you've been following me

I NEED you guys to understand how much I LOVED the final scene.

Yes we're starting at the end.

My biggest issue after finishing the manga, was that Luna, Artemis and Diana weren't mentioned or seen once after the Galaxy Cauldron and Usagi never reunited with Ikuko and the rest of her family. And it seemed like when the senshi were sent back to earth, Usagi woke up first thing to being with Mamo in a bed they didn't even have before. (Obviously context was given but I'm talking about the impression I got just from seeing Guardian Cosmos then flipping the page to see Mamo and Usa in a fancy bed) SO I'm very happy that the bed and wedding scenes, were treated as an epilouge.

This is what we see after Guardian Cosmos sends the senshi home ^^

ITS A STRAIGHT UP CALLBACK TO 90S EPISODE 1 AND MANGA ACT 1

ALSO LUNA AND IKUKO AND KENJI ARE AT THE DOOR

THAT IS ALL I EVER WANTED FROM ACT 60

Confirmation that Luna is okay ✅

Usagi reunion with the Tsukinos ✅

Separation of the final 2 scenes from Usagi's return ✅

@handwrittenhello did this and put an open "anybody who wants to" tag, and I think it's cool, so I'm doing it!

Just for fun, I did the whole first page of my Works list on Ao3, excluding podfics and the metatext guide, so there's more than 10.

To Tell the Truth (Brokeback Mountain, M, ongoing)

There was something wrong when Ennis came home.

Lunar Synthesis (Harry Potter, T, ongoing, part 3 of an ongoing series)

Remus caught a carriage from Hogsmeade up to the castle.

Shorn (The Old Guard, G, oneshot)

Joe finished drying his hair, hung up his towel, threw on some clothes that he was pretty sure were technically his—either way they fit, which was the important part—then he went downstairs to where the rest of his family was gathered.

The Measure of a Tit (Sailor Moon, T, oneshot)

It was nice to get all the senshi together for a vacation—at least, once the usual “we can't go anywhere without having to save the world” had been dealt with.

What I Want is Everything (Brokeback Mountain, M, oneshot)

There are words on my tongue I’m not stupid or drunk enough to tell him.

Momento Ipsum, Remember Yourself (The Old Guard, M, complete)

It was a lovely, calm morning between missions.

Risk and Reunion (The Old Guard, T, oneshot)

“I fold.” Andy tossed a hand of tarot cards onto the battered steamer trunk serving as a coffee table in the cramped little flat the team was holed up in.

The First Anual Family of Promise Roadtrip (The Witcher, T, complete)

Yennefer's glass hit the table a split second before Jaskier's did.

July 31, 1991 (Harry Potter, G, oneshot)

Harry Potter is about to turn eleven years old.

I Care, I Love You, I'm Glad (The Witcher, T, complete)

They had been at the seaside for more than a week.

To Want, To Need, To Enjoy (The Witcher, M, oneshot)

Between towns, Geralt and Jaskier—and Roach—made camp for the night in a clearing not far off the road.

Of Love, Comfort, and Convenience (The Witcher, M, oneshot)

Having what seemed to be the entire town spill into the square to watch him present proof of kill to his current employer was more of a spectacle than Geralt preferred to be party to.

Of Desire, Preference, and Convenience (The Witcher, M, oneshot)

The sun was just a sliver clinging to the horizon when Geralt, Jaskier, and, of course, Roach came into sight of the town they had set out from a couple days before.

---

I think all of these are either what main character is doing or a general picture of the state of things where we enter the story--a couple manage to be both. There also seems to be a pretty even split between short, punchy, to-the-point sentences and long compound ones. So that is all very interesting!

Tagging: @nerdsandthelike @hotcocoaandstripedsweaters @darkshrimpemotions @rainbowvamp @non-un-topo & anyone who wants to!

(Seriously, I mean anyone, I love this and I wanna see folk's stuff)
