Mostly talks about Aphmau, but especially my MCD and Mystreet Rewrites and opinions.

[5prink135]

Welcome to my blog!

I suppose you could call me Sprinkles, or $pr¡~k!3$, if you wanna be fancy. I am 17 years old, I am demibiromantic-aceflux, and I go by she/her pronouns. Out of anything in the world, writing and storytelling is what I enjoy most!

Most of the time, I'll post about Aphmau and her series, sometimes voicing my opinions, and other times talking about my rewrites or AUs. If you're not into that, then please don't interact.

Final Thoughts

This is a multishipping and LGBTQIA+ friendly blog. If you are homophobic, transphobic, a proshipper, or someone who finds any issue with the things I post and support on my blog, I suggest you don't interact with it.

If you ever see anything interesting or curious in any of my posts, especially my rewrite and AU posts, please don't hesitate to reach out and ask! I LOVE ranting about the stories and characterizations I've been working on, and can always use an excuse to do so. It's even more fun when it's something I may have never even considered before!

Thank you and have a good day/night!😊

Okay, y'all. Let me rant about Sailor Moon and Sailor Moon Crystal for a sec.

Unfortunately, just like with many other beloved children's shows, I was unable to ever watch Sailor Moon until recently, leading me to even more recently finish it, and then start Sailor Moon Crystal to see what changes it made. Watching Sailor Moon Crystal turned out to be a fucking mistake.

I'm sorry for those of you who may prefer it over the original series, I definitely think it does some things better than the og, but I overall view it as worse, ESPECIALLY since it was made a lot more recently than the original Sailor Moon!

Starting with things I actually liked. I liked how much they expanded on the worldbuilding, more thoroughly explaining it and sometimes even changing it so that it made more sense. While it did sometimes feel like it was kind of exposition-dumpy, repetitive, and shoved-in, it still tickles the little place in my heart that ADORES learning all the little bits and pieces of a world. The same goes for the times they'd deep-dive into characters, Mamoru and Chibi-Usa being some of my favorite examples of this. On the topic of Mamoru, I 100% prefer his writing in this version, even as his future self! He feels so much more involved in the plot, and I actually like his romance with Usagi a lot more in this version. I also liked how they actually tried to tap into the background of the Four Kings. And then there's the obvious improvement of pacing.

Moving on to the things I'm... not so fond of. Starting with the art direction, it's just okay, but I can't help but feel it's so much less stylized than the original. The style feels like anything you'd see from any other anime, and that makes it feel less special to me. On top of that, the 3D models they use for the transformation sequences are just... ugly. I do like that they added more to Usagi's transformation, but that doesn't make up for how bad it all looks, Ami's probably being the worst, in my opinion. On top of that, there's the fact they reduced all characters who aren't Usagi, Mamoru, and whoever else is important for the storyline to just plot devices. The Sailor Scouts suffer from this the most, Rei being the example that comes to mind first, and it just makes it all feel souless. There were many scenes that felt like they should've meant more, ESPECIALLY in the first season, but they really didn't. I feel this is probably connected to the pacing issue I noticed in this. Crystal doesn't keep a consistent enough pace to justify most of the emotional arcs, or even off-screen development, that we get. I can't help but feel that it relies on you having watched the original series to do the heavy lifting for anything less plot-relevant, and that takes away from the appeal.

And then... there are the things I full-on hate from this series. I'll start with the one that enrages me the least: Mamoru being put under mind control towards the end of Season 2. The original Season 2 Chibi-Usa arc really isn't my favorite for numerous reasons, but the biggest thing I could respect about the season was how they didn't repeat the same storyline as last season and actually let him try to help out our heroines! Crystal decides, instead, not to do that, and instead opt for leaning into the incestuous undertones of Chibi-Usa and Mamoru's relationship, even having them kiss SEVERAL TIMES instead of just in Usagi's delusions because WHY THE HELL NOT!? And it hurts ESPECIALLY in Crystal's case because I actually like seeing Mamoru on-screen in Crystal!

My other issue is more encapsulated in Season 1, this one hitting a lot more personally for me, that being the erasure of Zoisite and Kunzite's relationship. Overall, there's a lot of erasure of the Four Kings' personalities, but making Zoisite and Kunzite not be in love with one another feels the most targeted and purposeful. What makes it worse is the god-awful romance shoe-horned in there with each of the Sailor Scouts, which was COMPLETELY ABSENT from the original material! I was willing to forgive them for not having Zoisite and Kunzite be a couple, at least, on screen, mainly due to how lacking screen time was for them in general. I was happy that the romance between Naru and Nephrite never happened, and was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt when they kept them alive til the end. I WAS EVEN WILLING TO ACCEPT THEM ALL HAVING A POORLY MADE AND ABSOLUTELY CLICHE ROMANCE WITH THE SAILOR SCOUTS IF MAYBE THE WRITERS WERE ACTUALLY CLEVER AND DECIDED TO USE THIS IN THE ICONIC SCENE WHERE USAGI REFUSES TO KISS MAMORU BECAUSE ALL OF HER FRIENDS DIED BEFORE THEY COULD DO THE SAME WITH THEIR OWN LOVES, BUT NO! A SCENE LIKE THAT NEVER HAPPENS! AND SO, THIS BEING WHAT BECAME OF KUNZITE AND ZOISITE? IT FEELS LIKE IT'S JUST HERE TO MAKE THEM NOT BE GAY.

Both the original series and Crystal are incredibly flawed, but in completely different ways. Sailor Moon has slow pacing, questionable age gaps, personally unappealing design choices, and borderline incestuous imagery at times. By Season 5, I was completely over Mamoru's romance with Usagi. That being said, at least Sailor Moon had heart and a time period where some lines were blurrier than they are today. Sailor Moon was made for kids, and so some of the pieces of writing are more simple so that the child audience will be able to understand. Crystal's issues are style, inconsistent pacing, overall poor writing, questionable changes from the original, and erasure of the heart of Sailor Moon. All of this had to be intentional and was made in an era where they MOST DEFINITELY realized SOME of the issues with the original. I'm not going to watch Season 3. I think I might rewatch Sailor Moon instead.

Okay. So about the AI situation.

I already wasn't watching most ASMP content nor Mermaid Tales. So ig I'm not as affected as others here.

But needing AI get keep up with their schedules feels fake to me. One of the VAs (before AI was really a thing) said that some videos were just improv. Which... why switch from that to script only?

That being said, I will probably not watch MID s2 nor MS s7 if there is no statement about the use of AI being... abandoned? Discontinued? Idfk. As dear as MID is to my heart, it doesn't deserve AI's writing.

I'm just disappointed in them. If y'all wanna defend it, I'm blocking you.

I will still be posting about it, but make it known I'm officially adopting the characters of MID as mine.

MCD Rewrite Worldbuilding Update

Something that's always read as weird to me is the fact that the Divine Warriors were such a global presence... and yet, everything about them seems so contained to Ru'aun. We're told each continent worships a different Divine Warrior as their god, yet Ru'aun feels like they do that regardless, with Irene more of just being the "Queen of Gods," you could say. On top of that, there's the fact that all these warriors seemingly came together from across the globe to fight one controlling force of it all, but there's hardly any signs of even acknowledging the other continents, as well as the aftermath of the lord system being established. Also, a king ruling over at least six CONTINENTS with an iron fist seems rather... unrealistic. And then there's also the fact that so many of the locations that are so relevant to solving the past are all located in Ru'aun, rather than in the other continents. Hell, we only know the names of two continents that aren't Ru'aun.

So! My solution to this? The Divine Warriors were mainly something contained to Ru'aun.

Throughout the continent, all of the Divine are worshipped as gods, with some places placing emphasis on some Magi more than others, though most agree that Irene is one of the highest-standing of them. The King was a threat solely to Ru'aun, and when he was overthrown, Irene established the new lord system throughout Ru'aun, it being a political structure somewhat unique to the continent. Most, if not all, of the Divine were born in Ru'aun, and all made some form of a name and mark on the landmass, each establishing at least one village. Irene had Scaleswind, Shad had Boboros, Esmund had O'Khasis, Enki had Pikoro, Menphia had Brightport, and Kul'zak had Nahakra. Of course, there have been many changes since these villages were originally established. Some have moved, such as Boboros, Pikoro, and Nahakra, while others have declined in size, such as Brightport.

While the Divine did go off-continent to help with other wars, they were only ever revered as powerful, magical warriors in those places.

There's more I want to add on, but can't collect my thoughts enough to really put down coherently, so I'll probably add on to this, but that's all for now!

Would yall call me crazy into thinking smp Kim has more of a personality than mystreet Kim.

[5prink135]

Not at all. It's just a fact, plain and simple.

[dilly-dahlia]

guys guys. unrelated question but what do you think gene wears to prom (if he even goes)

[5prink135]

Idk, my brain goes to a scrappy suit that was either his father's or that he just found somewhere. Or maybe he made it scrappy himself.

I like to headcanon that, in terms of lifestyle, Gene, Dante, and Maria live as if she were a single mother, even if their dad were around, because he's just so selfish and absent from all of their lives that he might as well not even be there. Due to this, Maria is constantly working her butt off to keep food on the table and make sure her boys have, at least, a decent home life physically, so money isn't exactly abundant for luxuries like suits.

Regardless, I don't think Gene would really care all that much about dressing up for prom. More likely than not, his mom talked him and his friends into it.

[rinrinkho]

Idk how common of a headcanon this is, but I always imagined that Shadowknights don't have a heartbeat, nor do they need to breathe.

The 'no heartbeat' I've seen a couple of times on ao3. Whatever magic keeps them alive after being revived still circulates the blood around their body, but there's no beat. Which means they still have blood pressure.

The 'not breathing' thing is more weird lol. They still breathe in the oxygen, but they can't die from asphyxiation. Like I imagine that if a Shadowknight ends up drowing, they don't die from the lack of oxygen, but it will hurt like hell. Idk how many people have had their lungs full of water before but it HURTS. The pain and the symptoms of asphyxiation will occur but they can't die from it.

Anyways this was brought to you by my favourite trope of Laurance casually bringing up/joking that he's dead and making everyone sad about it. I can't imagine Cadenza being very amused because she already mourned him after dissappearing for 15 years, only to hear him casually joke about how he's technically always been dead. ( ；∀；)

HEAR ME OUT!!

You know how in Diaries, when Garroth was working for Zane at the end of season 1, Laurance snapped him out of it?

Well what if Laurance went to Starlight with them.... And while everyone was freaking out abou the forever potions, he just casual appealed to Garroth's inner whatever and broke the spell....

They really messed up leaving him behind...

[5prink135]

I was revisiting my childhood, most notably the YouTuber Courtney(Project SNT), and upon revisiting the classic SNT series, I realized something.

So many of the conflicts in it could be easily resolved... if SNT, Sonic, Shadow, and Amy all just made out. We can call it SonadmyT.

[5prink135]

This might be more of a controversial take, but I absolutely HATED episode 17 of Mermaid Tales S2, at least, from an overarching story perspective. Overall, I believe Mermaid Tales S2 has some fundamental issues in terms of writing and set up, but NONE of the episodes piss me off as much as "Don't Let Them Drown."

The thing I probably hate about the episode the most is the fact that it completely forgets SEVERAL major plot points from MULTIPLE episodes prior! Most specifically, Aph trying to retrieve the Merianna map from Caspian and Layla, and our aforementioned villains attempting to capture Aphmau!

But NO. Zena, your family drama is the only reason we should still be going after our villains! Not because Aph's home is still in potential trouble or anything. And OBVIOUSLY they would attack Aph on their ship and literally throw her off! ...Not like they've been trying to possess her or anything for MOST OF THE SEASON. Oh! And Zena meeting with her sister at the end of episode 16!? NEVER HAPPENED! We need to show a fucking unnecessarily dramatic sequence of Caspian dragging her into the ship and have them spout off some fucking nonsense that DOESN'T NEED TO BE HERE.

And then there's The Wolf. I'm genuinely getting so fatigued by their existence. I can already tell that they aren't actually here to kill Aaron; ALMOST EVERYONE CAN. And yet, we STILL just have scenes dedicated to feigning this motherfucker being an enemy! It's not seeing The Wolf that pissed me off, it was the scene just being there to be a very obvious red herring without giving us ANY new info about them in the process!

Oh yeah. And we also COMPLETELY FORGET about the fucking Soul Echo throughout this entire episode, despite the fact Zena threw it into the ocean last episode!

Really, the main thing that pisses me off about this episode, when we have the foresight of the episode after, is the fact that these (plot point) issues really only show up in THIS EPISODE. The immediate episode after remembers the plot and continues it in a natural way! Episode 17 DOES NOT.

Honestly, I think it might just be more beneficial for me to pretend like this episode never happened.

Looking at LotH's Main Cast's Siblings

Aaron:

Melissa, older half-sister on mom's side, most likely both unaware that they're half-siblings, 1 year apart

Aphmau:

Hunter, younger half-brother on dad's side, unaware of his existence until recently, 4 years apart

Cassie:

6 older siblings and 3 younger siblings, though she's only in contact with one these days

Marcus, younger brother and the only sibling who'll still talk to her, 1 year apart

Dante:

Gene, older brother, 3 years apart

Garroth & Zane:

1 year apart from each other, Garroth older, Zane younger

Vylad, youngest half-brother on mom's side, only found out a few years ago he wasn't their full brother, still treat him as their full brother, 3 & 2 years apart

Katelyn:

Kasey, younger brother, 2 years apart

Kaleb, younger brother, 4 years apart

Kayden, youngest brother, 6 years apart

Kim:

Timothy, older brother, 3 years apart

Laurance:

Cadenza, adoptive older sister, 2 years apart

Caleb, biological younger brother, 26 years apart, doesn't interact with him much

Lucinda:

Only child

Travis:

Only child

Oh god, I'm struggling with inspiration right now.😭

Not really for Aphmau right now, but rather for my own personal story. I'm thinking I want to put it in a Medieval setting and make the main characters gay as hell, but aside from that, I really have no concept for a plot.

Anyone got any suggestions?

My birthday is in four days and for my birthday I would like Garrence to be canon.

Or fics. Lots of a fics, I’d appreciate that.

[5prink135]

Um... as a pre-birthday present, may I offer a Garrance fic I made a while ago?🥹

Any constructive criticism is appreciated!

I'm also planning on writing another fic just for this, partially just because I need an excuse to write Garrance, but also because I want to challenge myself in a self-inflicted way.
