NEW CHAPTER IS UP!

[i1976blunotte]

Chapter 3 of Cosmic Love.

I am using some of my past art for some scenes.

[i1976blunotte]

Chapter 2 of COSMIC LOVE is posted.

[i1976blunotte]

The final of Sailor Moon Crystal.

The final many of us want.

Here, for you all.

I WANTED SO BADLY TO SEE THIS AT THE END OF SAILOR MOON CRYSTAL!!! WHY NOT???

I am sobbing.

[i1976blunotte]

After watching Sailor Moon Cosmos, I have decided to write this.

In order to give an happy ending also to Senshi and Shitennou.

This past drawing of mine, is fitting with a scene of this chapter.

One headcannon I have about Sailor Mars is that normally she's not interested in boys and "thinks they're pretty stupid" but she -however reluctantly- makes an exception for Jadeite. Honestly I can see Jadeite making it his personal mission to prove Mars wrong and failing every time. Which of course leads them to fall in love with each other.

Casablanca Memories says Rei did like her father's protoge and when he turned out to be like her father, she stopped trusting men entirely.

Okay so there's nothing wrong there. But consider, even during the Silver Millenium Mars was untrusting of men, including those who resided in the moon kingdom. That is, until she met Jadeite. Obviously not right away at all. And she probably kicked him, singed his hair or stomped on his feet a couple times before coming around to him. But I like the idea of Jadeite being the only man that could ever earn Mars' affections.

This is an underrated Mamoru scene. He looks very princely as he seeks council from the Shitennou. I also like that this sets up him discovering his latent powers later in the chapter by telling us that Mamoru wants to be stronger. It shows us his insecurities and lays the groundwork for his arc of self discovery which is concluded in Dream arc.

As a sidenote, I wish the Shitennou had made an appearance in Dream arc to show their connection to Elysium as well.

DOWNLOAD HERE

Thank you for your patience while I got this scanned! The Sailor Moon Cosmos visual book is now available for download. I was trying to get this out fast, so the scans are not edited like I usually do. I think they're fine, though.

If you plan on reuploading these scans in any significant capacity (as in, reuploading a large amount of them) please credit me! This was a lot of work.

Also, when I did this for the Eternal artbook, it got flagged for copyright by Toei and I had to reupload it, so I wouldn't be surprised if that happens again (especially if this blows up). If it does, I'll make a new post or simply update the link.

Casually lurking in Sailor Moon fandom and when I see posts mentioning the Shitennou's knightly titles, I think the translation are off. I don't know if those are just fansubs being wonky, or if even the official ones are not entirely correct...

I've also seen some posts say that "I don't understand what these means". The knightly titles are based on the image and properties associated with each gemstone in Japanese (so, if it has different meanings internationally, it's quite beside the point).

Jadeite: Knight of Resilience 忍耐 and Harmony 調和

忍耐 is often translated as "Patience" in fanworks. 忍耐 is better translated as "resilience", "perseverance", or "endurance". Even when colloquially used to say "be patient", the connotation of it is more along the lines of "endure this". The Harmony one is correct.

"Resilience" is because jadeite jade is the harder jade. "Harmony" because of its traditional usage in spiritual matters, so jade in general has the image of "peacefulness".

Nephrite: Knight of Wisdom 知恵 and Peace 安らぎ

This one makes me kind of laugh because of what Nephrite is like as a character/person. I almost always see 知恵 translated as "Intelligence". It's not wrong per se, but this term here refers to something deeper than just brain smarts, thus "wisdom". Things like wisdom that come from age, or innate perceptiveness, and so on.

安らぎ is peace, as in "inner peace". Basically, "serenity", though it's probably not a good idea to use this word in Sailor Moon for obvious reasons.

Nephrite being the native jade of China, it has been given very sagely meaning to it that persist even in Japanese symbolism. That's why it's like this, for somewhat similar reasons to jadeite's "harmony".

Kunzite: Knight of Virtue 純潔 and Benevolence 慈愛

純潔 can also mean Purity or Chastity. 慈愛 is sometimes translated as Affection, which is also not entirely wrong. It's just that the standard meaning is benevolence or mercy. "Affection" tends to be used in the context of parents and children. In this context probably not the best meaning to use.

This gemstone is associated with the Holy Mother Mary, of all things, that's why it's got very saintly imagery associated with it.

Zoisite: Knight of Purification 浄化 and Healing 癒し

The most straightforward one so I've never seen any wonky translation with this one. Those who are into healing crystals might already know this, but this title is based on the healing and purification qualities that a blue zoisite/tanzanite supposedly have.

THE FINAL WE WANT.

FOR SENSHI/SHITENNOU FANS, THIS IS FOR YOU.

[i1976blunotte]

Reblogging my take of the Final:

Wedding Day.

To me, this is still the BEST.

Yukie Sako's style, if used at its best, is the TOP

Random-Mailbox's Favorite Sailor Moon Fics - Week 45 - Reviving Shitennou

This week’s post is about bringing Shitennou back into the fold of the team. I wish that had happened in the manga / anime and am a little disappointed we did not get that in Cosmos. BUT that is what fanfiction is for! (To help us collectively right the wrongs / misses in original materials).

We are exactly ONE week away from @usamamoweek2023! Are you excited? Because I am very excited and am trying to finish my own submissions for this year's prompts

@smquickies2023 prompts are out too - that event is taking place August 6-12 (and is open to any SM pairings).

As always, my apologies in advance for spoiling some of these for you (Fic Titles are linked to either FFN or AO3 entries).

Deal Breaker - ninashtia

Keeping his shitennou being alive and well as a secret from his princess is bound to backfire on Mamoru. But not in the way he had expected.

Reunion - bashfulglowfly

In this story we get to witness the aftermath of the Dark Kingdom arc, but in an AU where Usagi didn't fight alongside our senshi and Tuxedo Mask in Tokyo (she still participated but from halfway across the world).

Embrace the Chaos - @serpentinred

Ami is thrust into keeping secrets and weighing possibilities, when her supervisor introduces her to someone who looks suspiciously like Kunzite. I love the art that @smokingbomber did for this one!

all things that are dark - @fated-addiction

Although this is technically just the first chapter of a fic that will hopefully get finished one day, it could stand as a one-shot as well. It gives glimpses of post-Galaxia thoughts Usagi has as she readies for the future.

The Shitennou Return! A Trip to the Beach in Peril - @chuplayswithfire

Mamoru has been keeping a secret from Usagi, something that she takes in stride and decides that a beach-day together with the girls would be the best way to get everything out in the open and see how it could all work. This fic has art by @mochibuni!

all my friends are dead and they bloody haunt me - @smokingbomber

Usagi, noticing some strange behaviour from Mamoru, takes a peek at what he could be up to. And decides that she can help fix everything.
