#the thing is… that Ando was very dark XD

[miss-conner3]

This is a bit of a silly what if question,

But what it be like if ando and the lamb swapped roles (whether it be as an au (where like ando became a cult leader and the lamb died) or if they just randomly decided to swap each other clothing for a day as a joke).

I'm surprised and happy to receive this question (OwO)

Lucky for you, I'm two steps ahead of you (>v<)/

By February of this year, I had already started thinking about what would happen if my two sheep swapped places. I even gave it the name “The Hard Way,” where Ando is forced to wear the red crown after refusing to be the lamb of the prophecy, imposed by The One Who Waits, upon understanding that everything he suffered was due to a family dispute.

This begins a hate relationship between Ando and The One Who Waits, with the obvious ending that he would betray him for denying him the eternal rest that his soul longed for. There was no subtlety here, and Narinder knew that.

Therefore, he was ready.

And still, he lost.

This AU is a bit sad, as Ando got so lost in his anger that when he gained control, he found himself at a dead end, unable to die as it was now death itself, and with the awareness that to give up the crown, he would have to choose another candidate and he... was not willing to impose this responsibility on anyone.

So he eventually went crazy and ended up destroying his world, giving in to the delirium that only then he could rest.

That ending was based almost entirely on my playthrough, where I decided to play as Ando in hard mode and encountered a new type of difficulty that changed the way I play and manage the cult. ¿The result?

I got a morally dubious and emotionally stunted Ando, whose interpersonal relationships ranged from his first husband, whom he cheated on twice (not intentionally), his beloved little brother (who hooked up with half a bishop XD), and a punching bag (Narinder), who dared to tell him that he loved him in front of his first husband. Obviously, on purpose.

So…yeah.

I may have thought a little about “¿What if…?”, with my lamb and Ando swapping roles XP

As for exchanging clothes <(ouo)>

I feel like the lamb could get away with that joke if Ando was willing to swap his clothes because, as you can imagine, he's too embarrassed to wear just the fleece XD

Although I think I could draw that, ¡thanks for the idea!

SAILOR MOON 2019 Recap

If you thought there was nothing new going on in the Sailor Moon realm this year, think again - the Sailor Senshi have been quite busy in Japan, even adventuring beyond their homeland as well! Whether you followed the news closely or not, let’s look at the highlights of the past year:

MARCH

NOGIMYU (2018) JAPANESE DVD & BLU-RAY RELEASE

The 2018 collaborative musical between (Nelke’s) Sailor Moon and female idol group Nogizaka46, nicknamed Nogimyu, was released on video in Japan! Which might not seem much at first, but that’s what allows more people to watch it - specially internationally!!!!

Back to Dark Kingdom, this myu had 2 casts of Senshi and a very charming group of villains, as well as a very familiar face as Tux. Also notably the production had a very different style than previous musicals – it was a whole new thing!

THE SUPER LIVE GOES TO THE US

Having debuted in Tokyo and Paris in 2018, this year Sailor Moon The Super Live was taken to the USA! 

The Super Live was a different kind of stage production, since the show was made for international audiences, being mostly nonverbal (to avoid the language barrier). While Sera Myu casts have performed songs abroad before, The Super Live was the first show to be presented in its entirety out of Asia! Will we see Riona Tatemichi in a Sailor Moon production again?

APRIL

SAILOR MOON PLAYS BASEBALL

Okay I just had to include this XD Remember when they had a Super Live group perform Sailor Moon’s theme in a Japanese baseball stadium?? And Moon and Mars threw the first pitches?? Truly iconic

Here’s Kanae Yumemiya as Sailor Moon at the Mazda Zoom-Zoom Stadium for the Hiroshima Toyo Carp

MAY

MIRACLE 4-D MOON PALACE EDITION

In 2018 Universal Studios Japan made a 4-D attraction for Sailor Moon and other anime series... And 2019 couldn’t be different! But this time, Sailor Moon The Miracle 4-D got an upgrade! Moon Palace Edition brought the entire Sailor Team together to stop a monster attack

Was this the last Miracle 4-D iteration we will see? I wonder...

JUNE

SAILOR MOON CRYSTAL NEWS

As usual, this year’s Usagi Birthday Party brought us a bunch of news regarding the Sailors, like the digital release of the manga... But after years of waiting, we finally got concrete anime news: The Dream Arc double feature (Crystal’s season 4) is called Sailor Moon Eternal and it’s coming next year! The new character designs for the Inner Senshi was also released:

The first movie will be released in Japanese theaters in September 2020! Let’s cross our fingers for a worldwide digital release around the same time!

AUGUST

SHINING MOON TOKYO OPENS IN JAPAN

Nelke is really not playing around. The first Sailor Moon show restaurant opened in Tokyo, at Usagi’s very own neighborhood, Azabu Juuban!!! The place features thematic food and an exclusive stage show which seems to follow the Super Live formula to make it more accessible to foreign customers as well.

The restaurant is open every day with a rotating cast. A feature that has charmed us all is the little homage they do the characters’ birthdays through the year. Here’s a detailed post about the place

OCTOBER

NOGIMYU 2019

Nogimyu returned with a new senshi cast and the same lovable villain actresses, including a short run in China in November! A trailer was also released

Was this Mikako Ishii’s final bow in seramyu? What about Chihiro Ando? Only time will tell

NOVEMBER

SAILOR MOON X AKIKO KOSAKA MUSIC HISTORY

And last, but far from least, it was Bandai myu’s turn to shine again! In celebration of legendary composer Akiko Kosaka’s 45th career anniversary, Kosaka and Anza (the very first Moon on stage) joined forces again with a bunch of other seramyu cast members for 2 days of a special concert!!! Truly a magical weekend

Phew! I think that covers the main events. Over 25 years after the franchise’s birth and the Sailor Senshi are still charming people from around the world! And they’re not stopping now, that’s guaranteed!

In fact, right now we are expecting at least 3 projects due to next year... Check them out in this other post
