See, that’s what the app is perfect for.

Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

Just voicing some random thoughts since I reblogged that thing about Crystal.

You guys remember that one lil sequence in Crystal season 3 where Ami jumps off the building into water to then re-emerge as Sailor Mercury and how that was unironically a fucking great scene and concept?

Made me think of other fun and creative ways each of the girls can transform as a quick cut, which involve their powers and/or elements that are naturally found around them.

Just like I’m imagining now Makoto walking sternly inside a building at night or on a cloudy day, only illuminated by the lights above the hallway. At first the lights are on, then they start to flicker only to shut off entirely for a second and then come back on, illuminating who’s now Sailor Jupiter who’s still walking with determination.

Or there’s some sort of fire already present in the scene, say like a building’s on fire and Rei has yet to transform. Having her keep walking as Rei into the fire (given there’s no witnesses present ofc) and then keeping on the shot of her walking through the fire as a mere sketched black figure only to emerge as Sailor Mars trailing ashes and smoke behind her. Giving a casual hair toss to shake off any excess dust or debris.

Or even with Minako, maybe in a movie set or television station, having the shot still, focused on a bright film light standing on the ground in the middle of the shot. Mina walking past it. Before passing it she’s simply just Mina, but as soon as she cuts through the light, it reduces her figure to a vague shadow. Very briefly flashing the screen only to clearly emerge as Sailor Venus once she’s past it

I don’t know this may be the dumbest shit ever and cringe, but I like stuff like this and I like thinking about shots and compositions cause I’m obsessed.

I know I'm about a week late, but how do you think all of the Senshi would spend the New Years holidays?

It’s ok, if you weren’t late I would have been lol.

I’ll take out the cop answer of they all get together and celebrate. And drink. Also unless I state other wise the celebration day I’m referring to is the 31st not the 1st.

Usagi I can see either going out to celebrate casually in the streets with Mamo or her family (or both), enjoying the food, public events and fireworks or going for the more formal celebrations at a shrine or a private get together. I can see her varying it every year. Ikuko and Kenji are sweethearts and they do extend the invite to the other four girls every year, they know they are likely to decline and they hold 0 grudges for it, it’s just a “we’re open if you ever need it” type of deal

Ami.. I don’t think she really celebrates if she’s by herself. If she’s with someone, partner or some friends she’d prob just join them for some plans, just no drinking. And hopefully she’s not on call. She sends a text or calls her mom tho, at the very least. On extremely rare occasions I can see her visiting the Mizuno get together (not really because she doesn’t want to, but because Saeko doesn’t want to. Family drama, she’d much rather go to the Tsukinos tbh lol)

Rei works. Shrines are at the year peak during new year celebration as far as I was able to see so that is a sure fire plan for her new year celebrations for at least the next few years lol. I don’t think she minds it much, work is work and while the timing sucks she has other chances to hang out and celebrate outside of this specific holiday. I don’t see Rei being a big drinker to begin with, but she does share an evening with grandpa and Yuichiro (HC warning! I see Yuichiro as Rei’s step brother, not her random way too old bf) over some sake many days after new years. Kind of like a two for one family celebration of new year and yay money thing for the temple. It’s cute.

Mako would most often just host small get togethers to have a nice feast, drink and watch the fireworks or televised events. It’s also a nice excuse to do a big cleaning which is apparently tradition, so she knocks that off before having guests over. It would not be an every year thing, but I’d like to think Mako and Rei organize a small trip together on a day around new year to go and visit their parent’s graves. They’re not in the same cemetery (I think Mako’s parents are actually a couple hours travel away from the city), but they keep each other company in the half day trip, get some nice food together, it’s a rare but nice bonding experience they share.

I can see Mina doing anything to be quite honest, as long as she gets some alcohol in her system! She’s kind of like Usagi, varies it every year, one year she walks around town and goes to a friend’s, another she (begrudgingly lol) joins the family get together and in even rarer occasions.. she helps Rei at the temple. And doesn’t shut up about it for the rest of the year. I can see her gravitating the most towards Haruka during new years tho, she’s the best drinking buddy.

Michiru joins her family get together with Haruka. It’s nothing she’s ever overly thrilled about but it’s tradition in her family and while she has most definitely distanced herself from the majority of her family endeavors, she still cares about her parents and some of her siblings so she makes this effort. Some years are definitely more.. interesting than others.

Haruka joins Michiru to be with her family, she enjoys it overall. As the years go by it got easier to get some of the more ‘down to Earth’ members of the Kaioh family to treat her like a human being so she looks forward to that. Aside form MIchiru and some of the other girls, it’s the closest thing to family she really has. She feels always extremely out of her element though, that never really gets any easier. I hc Haruka coming from a very impoverished and abusive household, so she doesn’t really talk to her 'family’ much, especially during holidays. On a lighter note, she hangs out with Mina if she gets the chance, either alone or in a get together. She really grows to enjoy her company a lot.

Anonymous asked:

Do you think Makoto sees herself as a good person? What about the others? Would they see themselves as good people?

Alright, this is a bit of a loaded question lol, but I can handle it.

Let’s see, well first of all being a ‘good person’ is very subjective even when talking within one own’s personal view of themselves. We always tend to judge ourselves less harshly (if at all) than we judge others because we are aware of our own intentions, but let’s say in this case that the term ‘good person’ is used in the most black and white version possible, one most people could agree on. Not the ‘I could be nicer, less lazy or less judgmental’ type of bad person.

Since you asked for my opinion on everybody as well I’ll go down the list most people are familiar with.

To start, I think Usagi does see herself as a good person. She’s more than aware of her own flaws and honestly most often does not put in the work to fix em, but overall I believe Usagi does very comfortably sit within her own set boundaries of what it means to be a good person. And Usagi does have that boundary in my eyes, it’s not that she doesn’t see bad people as bad people, but that she’s willing to believe people can change given the right circumstances.

Ami, she’s prob going to be the one most people will disagree with me on, but no, I don’t think Ami categorizes herself as a good person. In her eyes, she’s an overly flawed and often selfish person who does very publicly recognized good deeds. Those don’t reflect her persona and thus don’t make her a good person because it is almost expected of her. More than all the inners Ami has never wanted to do this and would likely stop helping others as Mercury if it wasn’t for the others girls.

Rei, hell yeah Rei sees herself as a good person. Not only she’s a good person, she’s the best person. Lol jk, but yeah Rei does see herself as a good person. Difficult (and well, morally grey decisions let’s be honest) decisions she has made in the past and will likely have to face in the future do not make her a bad person according to her. She has the sentiment that her, along with the others, are doing the best they can in the situations they are put in even if that isn’t always pretty. Nothing they have ever done and that she has ever done was ever made with any utterly malicious intent, self preservation is not a sin or even selfish for that matter.

Going to the one you originally asked about, Mako sees herself as a good person yes. My strongest reasoning is that there’s no universe where Makoto Kino would be happy living her own life considering herself not a positive influence under the eyes of her parents. She would move mountains to make sure they are proud of her, her actions, her persona and her impact on the people around her. Mako’s morality is the most black and white you could get across any of the senshi, it does sometimes come back to bite her in the ass but it never really wavers so much to the point she starts doubting if who she is and what she does is a net negative. I also do not see Mako having ANY problem killing bad people, she does not abide by the no killing rule. While their views on it vary, I do generally see all the senshi (except Usagi) being ‘ok’ with killing.

Minako is, well, the only one we have an actual canonical answer for, Mina has an extreme anxiety of failing to live up to the standards of what it means to be a good person. Is she a good person in her eyes? Yeah. She’s flawed, but everyone is. She’s selfish and sometimes mean, but again everyone is. She has made multiple unthinkable sacrifices to ensure the goodness and wellbeing of the people around her, even the less deserving ones, to hell anyone tell her she’s not a good person. It does run deeper than that and her anxiety is obviously not spurred from just anything. There is a thick layer of self doubt and fear underneath all of her confidence, so strong to send her into a delirium which almost costed her life just to prove to everyone around her that she is indeed a good person.

Haruka.. what’s like the option under bad person? Like the worst person, ever, to walk this green Earth and the universe? I think that’s about low enough. Yeah, even from canon we can see Haruka has a really low view of herself, very easily tethering on self hatred. Her own self value purely based on the good she can serve to others. I believe Haruka desperately wants to be a good person, to do good and be good, but most often that good would just be giving people a world where she’s not in it. It’s dark and I do believe the circumstances around S have shaped her to be probably the most self hating version of herself there could be. (in canon I mean. Trust me, it can always get uglier) All this to say, no Haruka does not see herself as a good person and I don’t think she ever could unless she gets some serious help, because it’s HER.

No, I don’t believe Michiru sees herself as a good person, but she’s not crying about it. The world is not black and white, it is but an expansive canvas of varying tones of grey. That’s not to say I think Michiru sees herself as a overtly malicious person, she doesn’t go around killing innocent people for fun, but she’s also not afraid of enacting less ‘heroic deeds’ as some might say. She’s not a hero, she’s simply a woman who happened to receive the uniform, she doesn’t owe the universe her life cause of it as well as she doesn’t owe people her blood, sweat and tears for a fight that could as well be endless. Obviously she’s at her most selfish when Haruka is involved in anything, but depending on the context I could see her working around that as well. I can see her trying to do ‘better’ out of her own volition, but as she stands right now I just don’t see her believing that she could ever be a good person.

Anonymous asked:

If the Senshi were animals, what animals would they be?

Oooh, I’ll actually take this ask and twist it just a lil bit, I need an excuse to talk about my thoughts on this and this is the closest I’ll get to an opportunity.

Instead of which animal they would be I’ll give which animal each of the girls represents (in the same way Usagi is often a bunny, Rei has her bird and Mako her dragon). Given Makoto, not ALL of these animals actually exist, but it’s close enough.

Usagi is obviously a rabbit. Often associated with the Moon, innocence, new life and good luck/positivity. We already knew she was going to be a rabbit.

Chibiusa I’d actually say an hare, still very similar to the rabbit, but different in specific ways. Growing up tougher on the exterior, but still sharing that heart of gold like her mother.

Mamoru I think an asian black bear, bears being a symbol of protection, strength and resilience. The Asian black bear in particular also sports a cute lil crescent moon shape on its chest.

Ami is the snake wrapped around the black tortoise. This follows the myth of the 4 symbols of the Chinese Constellations, from which two of the inners were clearly taken inspiration from (Jupiter being the Azure dragon of the east and Mars the vermillion bird of the south). Ami has two animals but they do align pretty well with her, the tortoise and snake both being a symbol of healing, medicine and divine wisdom. Although the tortoise stands for her patience and stability, the snake stands ready to strike as a sign of cunning and danger. I think the Indian star tortoise and the rosy boa fit her well.

Rei is the phoenix (Vermillion bird). A symbol that has been associated with her in multiple canons. Everlasting hope, resilience, and virtue, but also an omen of future and past destruction.

Makoto is the eastern dragon (Azure dragon), again shown in canon even if only once. The eastern dragon associated with strength and power, but also being often depicted as a loyal and benevolent guardian bringing prosperity and fertility.

Minako follows the 4 symbols once again, being represented by the white tiger. A symbol of bravery, individuality, authority and duality. It is also often associated with success, it’s basically a walking achievement and I think it fits Minako perfectly. I would say a white Siberian tiger.

Haruka I would actually say a brown pelican. Pelicans being tied to self sacrifice, nurturing, piety and charity under the view of Christianity. Born by the myth of the pelican wounding itself to feed its own young. Pelicans are also very social creatures, unlike a lot of other bigger birds, along with being extremely agile, fast and powerful.

Michiru is a common octopus. The octopus being a symbol of intelligence, resilience, awareness, versatility but also selflessness. A creature often associated with the deep darkness and unknown, but also healing and regeneration.

Hotaru is an owl, more specifically an eurasian eagle owl. Owls having been associated as an omen of death and rebirth, they are thought to represent a connection to the afterlife, but also are a symbol of deep hidden knowledge. Despite their connection, they are almost never regarded as a danger, but rather a symbol of a new beginning. A mysterious, yet benevolent omen of the inevitable passage all must face.

Setsuna was by far the hardest but I truly believe the moose fits her really well. Often being the symbol of elder wisdom and knowledge, along with unwavering independence and resilience. A strong, larger than life figure standing tall and with grace and authority. Sometimes being depicted as a source of guidance during times of uncertainty.

Anonymous asked:

Do you have any hcs revolving around Minako's gender expression? I love the way you seem to portray her more sporty and jock.

I think Mina’s gender expression is very interesting. On one side, I see her comfortably identifying as a cis pan/bi woman, but on the other side I do believe Mina adores exploring and adapting different types of gender identities.

She is the Goddess of Love after all, she adores and impersonates it all.

Mina’s the type of girl to wear the most elaborate, over the top and eccentric dress that works to accentuate her feminine attributes with pride and boldness, but she would also just as comfortably pick up her transformation compact thingy (I don’t remember exactly what it is) and turn herself into a guy in a fancy suit for a dance.

She’s not who I would consider the most lady-like of the girls, her being quite brash and inappropriate even at the best of times. Everything can and should be turned into a sex joke according to milady Minako Aino. Though she is definitely proud of her femininity and her feminine attributes, she knows how hot of a woman she is and she has no shame about putting it on display. If anything she revels in it.

At the same time, she’s also comfortable walking around in her letterman jacket (I even have her wearing one a senshi along with sneakers), playing tons of competitive sports, watching sports while drinking a beer with Haruka and picking fights with people on the street.

At the end I really do think it boils down to Minako just loving the game. Love is a game to her in a way, her gender expression is simply a factor in it for her to master and endlessly frolic with and appreciate.

At least to me, Minako doesn’t just make inappropriate jokes and extremely casual references to sex because it’s funny or for attention (though those are big factors too), it’s because Minako truly does care about it. Sex is but a natural and important aspect of Love.

yoshithecinephile2003-deactivat asked:

What would you do for a Sailor Moon horror movie/series?

It really does depend on what story I’m looking to tell.

I usually start a story from just a simple concept and then build from there, the genre is normally a secondary thought for me based on the themes.

I don’t think I’ll ever do anything with it since I’m busy with other stuff and other stories, so I can share a brief outline/concept for a Sailor Moon ‘horror’ I wrote some time ago.

And 'horror’ is in quotations cause it’s mainly a __________ * ( blank cause it would spoil the story) horror at its core, but it also follows the typical strong sm themes of love and friendship.(this work is older, but I did go back to it for this ask and polished it a bit)


This work is untitled.

(if you want the spoiler TLDR, check at the bottom, but I’ll warn you it does ruin the story if you skip ahead)
