January 6th is Hotaru Tomoe/Sailor Saturn’s Birthday!
So how can you celebrate?
♄ Rewatch or reread your favourite Saturn-centric chapter, episode, or musical! She is a key character in most of Sailor Moon S, so why not rewatch the series finale? For a more light-hearted one-off, try episode 117, where she is encouraged to deliver a love letter to an athlete she admires, or episode 118, where a Daimon turns her house into a living board game and she must save the Sailor Soldiers to fix it.
♄ Sailor Saturn is the only main character not to receive an image song in the classic anime or Crystal. However, she has two key songs in the Musicals - To A Brand New World and The World Died Out. There are also several instrumental BGM tracks dedicated to her, including her theme from the S OST.
♄ Enjoy Hotaru’s favourite food - buckwheat noodles, or soba, which can be prepared hot or cold. Alternatively, her least favourite food is milk if you’d like to abstain for a day.
♄ Hotaru collects lamps and prefers low, mood lighting, much like her name (firefly) might suggest. Relax and meditate in a room lit only with decorative lamps and/or candles and engage in Hotaru’s other hobby, reading - but don’t strain your eyes!
♄ Dress like Hotaru for the day! Hotaru famously wears very dark colours, especially black, sometimes navy and green, and trends to monochromatic outfits with a pop of accenting colour like red or gold. She prefers to keep the majority of her body covered and prioritises keeping warm. Her style is generally neat, timeless and occasionally veering into “preppy”. Iconic accessories include her knit shawl tied with a rose brooch and berry beret. She also keeps on her person the Taioron Crystal pendant given to her by her mother, so more abstractly, you could wear something given to you or passed down to you by a family member.
Alternatively, her image colours as Sailor Saturn are purple and maroon with a silver accent.
♄ Fav and read some Sailor Saturn fanart and fanfic on sites like Pixiv, Twitter, and AO3 - or contribute your own new content! Don’t forget to tag!
Feel free to reply and reblog with your own ideas of how you’re going to celebrate Hotaru’s day!
