Born from the same mother tree, they are the last of their kind. The cold vacuum of space is much warmer when they're tangled in each other's roots.

The piece I drew for the Folgers Flash Exchange 2023! I'm so very happy someone requested Ail/Ann, even though their arc is small and they're anime-only villains their design and story left such a mark in my baby brain growing up.

You can see my process and download hi-res versions of this on the AO3 work 😊

The Ail and An Arc isn't filer!

I'm dead serious.

Whenever an anime is an adaptation of a manga, anime fans are so used to labelling anything not featured in the manga as 'filler' they do so without thinking.

Filler is called 'filler' because it is superfluous. It is filling in time and is therefore skippable. The reason we have 'filler free' lists for various anime is specifically so people can watch an anime and follow the main plotline in a speedier manner.

The problem with labelling the Ail and An arc as filler is that you absolutely HAVE to watch it to follow the main narrative!

Alright, not literally ALL 13 episodes. But you for sure need to watch some of the episodes. There is simply NO WAY you can jump from the end of the Dark Kingdom arc in season 1 to the debut of Chibi-Usa in season 2/Sailor Moon R without feeling lost.

Season 1 of the anime concludes with Usagi, Mamoru and the Inner Senshi not remembering their adventures as super heroes nor their relationships with one another. If someone jumped from that to the first episode of the Black Moon Clan arc they'd either be confused about or need to headcanon the following:

How and when did Usagi and the gang remember their lives in season 1

How and when did Usagi and Mamoru get together?

How and when did Usagi get this new 'Moon Crystal Power' transformation and this new 'Moon Princess Halation' attack?

Whilst it is true the Ail and An arc is nowhere to be found in the manga, there is no end of elements in the 1992 anime which are also not to be found in the manga that the fandom en masse doesn't label as filler.

Naru and Nephrite's relationship

The hunt for the Rainbow Crystals

Kunzite and Zoisite's relationship

Minako's backstory with Alan and Katarina

The Inner Senshi dying at the clutches of the DD Girls

Usagi's showdown with Super Beryl

All those are iconic plot relevant to the over arching storyline of the first season alone and none of it is in the manga, not even in a 'squint and you will see it' kind of way.

I will also add that some episodes of Ail and An arc are skippable but do great character work in their own right. The Usagi and Mamoru babysitting episode for example subtly foreshadows what the rest of the season will revolve around, namely Usagi and Mamoru's relationship with their own child, Chibi-Usa.

🌙✨The Wait is Over: Makai Tree: Roots of Destiny Has Begun!✨🌙

Moonies, the moment is here. The cosmic chaos. The moonlit emotions. The plant drama. Makai Tree: Roots of Destiny has landed, and it’s about to pull your heartstrings tighter than Ail clinging to his flute. Prepare for haunting vibes, tangled souls, and a tree that just wants some love (same, girl, same).

Here’s what Chapter 1, Echoes of Hollow Light, delivers: Mamoru, our lonely heart with a mysterious cosmic hole in his soul, stumbles through a day that feels…off. Like, “Did I forget my keys, or was it a destiny-defining memory?” kind of off. Between arcade banter with Usagi (who is pure sunshine, as always) and existential crises that could rival the Moon Kingdom’s downfall, Mamoru is feeling the ache of something missing. Or someone. (Spoiler: It’s Usagi. It’s always Usagi.)

And Chapter 2, Roots Beneath a Silent Sky: We take a detour into deep space, where the Makai Tree has been on the worst road trip ever. It’s ancient, it’s tired, and it’s floating through the void wondering why its Sprouts (Ail and An) are like this. Toxic love? Check. Chaotic energy thievery? Double check. The tree senses hope on Earth—a tiny glimmer of light in the darkness—but is it salvation or just another cosmic letdown? Guess we’ll find out.

💫 Updates every Tuesday and Thursday because you deserve regular doses of cosmic angst.

🌸 Author’s Note This one’s for the dreamers, the moon gazers, and anyone who’s ever felt like a hollow tree searching for roots. Shattered Moonlight was about destiny; Roots of Destiny is about healing, love (but make it complicated), and hope wrapped in moonbeams. Let’s grow together, Moonies. 🌙💖
