Filed under: Things that are really messing with my head right now because this entire week has been alternating between building up and tearing down the Rose is Pink Diamond theory.

The Diamond Authority symbol, as seen on several occasions, notably on pre-rebellion sites:

And the Diamonds we’ve seen (we know the murals are relatively accurate, if stylised, representations because we’ve seen Blue and Yellow Diamond at least in silhouette and the resemblance is clear) - Pink is of course conspicuously absent:

White Diamond

Blue Diamond

Yellow Diamond

Clearly a Diamond’s place in the insignia corresponds to her gem placement - White’s is on her head, and Blue and Yellow both have gems on their chests.

Again, an example from the most recent episode:

And an example of the post-rebellion version, where this remains consistent:

Huh, wonder where this is implying Pink Diamond’s gem is placed?

[allashua]

Huh. Blue Diamond and Yellow Diamond’s Pearls have their gems on their chests also, corresponding to their masters (fanart by vergiliaux):

So... wouldn’t that imply that our Pearl could be White Diamond’s former servant? (fanart by n0rara)

Sailor Moon Cake

allashua submitted:  I took a cake decorating class today and made a Sailor Moon cake! I wanted to share it with everyone before I dig in.

As an afterthought, I realized that I could have made a cake of Haruka and Michiru trapped in Nehellenia’s mirrors for docholligay’s giveaway. What a jerk, by the way.

I’m not sure if you mean Holligay or Nehellenia is the jerk, but I’ll accept either answer.

That cake is fantastic, holy shit. Not only does it look amazing, it looks DELICIOUS, and I am sad I am not devouring Usagi’s face right now.

Please consider this my enthusiastic endorsement for future Senshi + cake projects.

Maybe a Siren cake filled with cherry flakes.

Sailor Moon underwear! Only available through X-Mas!

With Sailor Moon returning to television early next year there’s been tons of merchandise flooding the scene. I’ve reviewed one of the figures here if you’d like to check that out! I have to admit, this is my favourite addition yet. Sailor Moon underwear. It looks gorgeous! I just don’t know how keen my boyfriend will be about it… Too bad there isn’t a Tuxedo Mask matching set!!!

They cost 4,980 Yen, roughly $50 USD which is a steal for a set but are all soldout! They went on pre-order yesterday and flew off the shelves. I’ll be on the look out for the second release and I’m sure they’re going to do it because they’re such a hit. You can check out the collection at Peach John’s website. Click here for in depth photos of the set.
