It's probably a coincidence but I always found it fascinating the color palette parallels between Sailor Moon/Cosmos/Serenity and Sailor Galaxia.

Silver and Gold.

Both symbols of divinity, power and prestige, but reflecting almost contrasting values.

It comes pretty easy for me to read them as two sides of the same coin.

“All she ever wanted to be is Tsukino Usagi, but she’ll always be Serenity 🥺🥺🥺”

That is literally a post I just saw with so many notes. It makes me so fucking embarrassingly, unreasonably (I am aware) angry. How can the distribution of empathy and compassion, the recognition of loss and labor, be so royally fucked? You are looking at the most privileged being in the universe and think she is the victim? Yeah, Usagi does go through rough things, no one is suggesting otherwise, but—if I may remind you all—that applies to every Senshi. You know why Usagi has the luxury of wanting to be Usagi? Because she actually has a happy life with a functional family and friends outside the Sailor circle. All the other Senshi are programmed and destined to die for her. Makoto is an orphan. Rei’s mom is dead, and her father is estranged. Ami has a single mom who works her ass off to provide for her daughter. None of Usagi’s friends, not even Mamoru, gets a fulfilled life beyond making Usagi’s dreams come true. They don’t get a present, a functional family. They are written by Guardian Cosmos to wait for the vacancy in their hearts and life to be filled with devotion for Usagi. They are assets with a heartbeat, cosmic capital for Serenity, who has an unlimited ontological credit. No loss Usagi experiences are permanent. And, btw, all Usagi wants in canon is being with Mamoru, and she is. Again and again and again. Canon does not even have the decency to tell us what happens to her friends when Usagi does not need them anymore, because Chibiusa got her own servants delivered and stored for her until she needs friends.

All she ever wanted to be was Kino Makoto, but she’ll always be Sailor Jupiter, and die as a servant of Serenity. Again and again and again.

All she ever wanted to be was Hino Rei, but she’ll always be Sailor Mars, and die as a servant of Serenity. Again and again and again.

All she ever wanted to be was Mizuno Ami, but she’ll always be Sailor Mercury, and die as a servant of Serenity. Again and again and again.

All she ever wanted to be was Aino Minako, but she’ll always be Sailor Venus, decoy of Princess Serenity, and die as a servant of Serenity. Again and again and again.

Does anyone even care how much these souls endure and labor and sacrifice so Usagi can have her prince and her daughter and her 1000 years of reign?

Which Sailor Moon character would be Bear and which would be Nikki in an Obsession style au?

SPOILERS FOR OBSESSION (2026)

Watch it, it's amazing.

This is super tough because Bear's character is a genuinely terrible person in the way I see none of the girls ever being.

His entitlement and self absorption are, to me, a clear commentary of a problem almost exclusively men face. A reflection of how loneliness, insecurity and a lack of deep connection can boil over into possessiveness, cruelty, manipulation and obsession.

So trying to put any of the girls in that role feels very odd, even Mamoru feels somehow weirder.

Given Nikki's kind, playful and easy going nature I could easily see Usagi, Ami, Mako or Haruka in her role. Though, let's be honest, Mina would kill that role.

If I'm more playful with it and just make it as the sm cast making the movie Obession, like with bts stuff and all with out of character dynamics then I would have

Mina as Nikki, cause ofc she'd kill that role and she would be FUCKING HILARIOUS in bts stuff.

Rei as Bear, yes it's mostly because of reinako but come one, the dynamic both off and on screen would be so good. Rei would be groaning quite often but she'd be loving every second (lowkey she wanted to be Nikki tho).

Artemis as Ian, it pains me cause Ian's such an asshole but I do feel like he would do a good job at playing the douchebag friend.

Usagi as Sarah, ngl 99% of the reason behind this decision is imagining these two dorks recreating this little behind the scene clip.

I watched both Backrooms and Obsession in theater recently.

I adored the Backrooms movie, but DAMN Obsession is legit one of the best horror movies I have EVER watched.

Please watch both, but if you can only watch one I have to say please watch Obsession.

Beryl sketch I did last night in bed when I couldn't go back to sleep.

It's been a lil while since I read the manga so there might be something I'm missing while asking this question, but

how come so many people get angry or label Michiru as selfish for her statement regarding prioritizing Haruka's life over the fate of the world, but Usagi's suicide over losing her lover is never ever painted as something of similar sentiment?

Usagi didn't explicitly say "fuck everyone else" but she was aware that with her gone and the threat still there, the world is still fucked. It indirectly shares the same selfish motive Michiru expresses when it came to fighting for Haruka as opposed to fighting for, well, everyone and everything.

.

I know it's a VERY sensitive topic, I'm asking out of genuine curiosity. It's not even the suicide I'm fixating after, it's the sentiment behind each of their mentalities. How one is considered by most selfish while the other is never painted by anyone as anything other than selfless even at her lowest moments.

Is the answer just: cause it's a fairy tale and you're not supposed to think about it that hard? While Michiru's actions are painted in a more realistic scenario, thus making her sentiment feel much heavier and more open to scrutinization than Usagi's fleeting moment of weakness in a heavily dramatized tragedy?

I'm also not trying to bring up this argument over to real life, I DO NOT SHARE THIS SENTIMENT FOR REAL PEOPLE WHO SUFFER FROM SUICIDAL THOUGHTS! DO NOT BE WEIRD.

Hello this wander i just wanted to ask if you can share this to your blog as you have more followers for awareness the makoami anti has entered my community and this is down right creep behavior that he's displaying.

I'll make a post with my own screenshots later

I just wanted to let you know of course its your division if you like to share this or not

I am aware of this person, altough I was trying to not give them much attention since that is clearly what they're looking for.

My best advice is to block them and move on, don't give them the time of day.

PLEASE REBLOG/LIKE TO HELP STRAY ANIMALS! PLEASE DON`T IGNORE!

LOW FUNDS!

Hey! Friends! Even though it's almost summer outside, it doesn't mean that you don't need to feed stray animals! Yes, it's not as hard for them as in winter, but still. They don't have a home or family, but they need to eat. They need it to simply survive!

Most people don't care. Some feed animals spoiled food or food they shouldn't eat (smoked fish, I scoop that out of animals' plates every day). Unfortunately, abandoned animals are perceived as having to eat everything. Awful. These cats and dogs should eat what they are allowed to eat, not all sorts of disgusting things! Therefore, I ask you to help in a way, that is comfortable for you!

Please, reblog, like or donate if you can:

Small process I did to show to a friend. Just breaking down the layers I used in the recent artwork. Maybe someone else will find it interesting.

[alevolpe]

OMG I just noticed you draw Rei with a beauty mark. That's such a neat idea!

Hehehe, I do. I figured it blended well into her design, esp given you're the first person to comment on it. Thank you!

Of all the sailor moon ships, how are you going to try to make freaking Makoami problematic?!

The most inoffensive nothing ship of the two most wholesome unproblematic characters in the show. Legit the ship that I heard people say they don't like because it's too boring.

[alevolpe]

Whoever at the Tumblr hq thought it was a good idea to put auto-playing ads with maxed out AUDIO on your app, I hope you know that I wish you nothing but the best, bestie.

Change that shit back NOW.

Oh my gosh, you made mini bun head, so grown up and pretty🥹🥹🥹🥰🥰🥰 I’m feeling so many conflicting emotions because Chibi so pretty but Usagi looks so sad and reunion feels devastating but so many different feelings and brilliantly captured and I just wanted to give you a quick note that expresses what a wonderful job capturing so many different emotions and I hope you continue to share your beautiful art and wonderful thoughts because they are a highlight to some people’s day (mine included) and please don’t let any negativity hurt you or impact you for too long.

Thank you so much for the wonderfully kind words!!

I'm happy ppl liked the art and understood what I was going for with Chibi and Cosmos. It was a bit of an impromptu piece, but I went with the flow <3.

Sorry I'm really bad at expressing what I feel with words, but I just wanted to say thank you. Seeing everyone's interactions with my art (and sm art in general tbh lol) literally makes my day.
