my sweethearts 💕
I hate it when this happens in anime.
Yeah. Don't you hate that feeling when a ship has no sortable reason not to be canon and very apparent in the narrative that both complement each other and have meaningful development but get stripped away at the last minute from a very contrive and convoluted story changes or introduction of new half-ass love interest? (The worst-case scenario is poor execution on the already preestablished ship before the obvious choice.)
Yeah, me too.
Most of the time, I find it funny that Magna editors and anime writers always introduce these pairings just for the original creator to oppose the ship.
Yes, granted, it is their story and characters, so they have the right to do whatever they want. However, sometimes I swear the amount of wasted potential of engagement writing in arcs is gone because they didn't go with the obvious route.
Don't take this post seriously. Although, I do sound very salty about my OTP ships not being canon. I'm more interested in how often this phenomenon happens to care about it. However, I'm bound to piss off someone off with this poorly meme image.
I don’t know anything about tcgs let alone the various Sailor Moon ones but I saw there was a card based on the episode where Rei writes a love song to perform at her school festival and as she sings “I’m so in love with you” the scene fades to her and Usagi talking and when Usagi compliments her she blushes and deflects
Needless to say I needed to get one
Happy Pride Month lol

Do you ever get that feeling when watching anime that you question why a specific pairing didn't happen?
I find it interesting that allegedly creative leads (like the anime series directors or editors) of each series had plans for these pairings at one point but ultimately were scrapped.
For Dragon Ball Context: Akira Toriyama's editor had planned and shipped Goku and Bulma, but the idea never happened and shut down. (It is mentioned on a page in Dr. Slump Manga in an Author Note for curious people interested in the source.)
However, remnants of this idea remain in the original Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z anime, primarily in the Funimation Dub for scenes of Bulma seeing Goku more favorably. Sometimes, the idea appears as a quick gag or background element.
The 23rd World Tournament, Namek Arc, and Post Buu Party are the most apparent of GoBul teasing.
For Sailor Moon Context: Allegedly, Kunihiko Ikuhara is rumored behind most of the Rei/Usagi pairing teases.
Also, just because I ship GoBul and ReiUsa doesn't mean I hate or attack GoChi, VegeBul, or UsaMamo(Anime). This portion of the comment refers more to Dragon Ball fandom than Sailor Moon (based on my experiences) because I have noticed a weird Vendetta surrounding GoBul on online forums over the past few years, to the point of flat-out harassment.
When you've kinda shipped Rei and Usagi and then ONE OF THE CANON LESBIANS asks if their relationship is like her and her girlfriend's
Please say someone wrote fanfiction about Neptune and Mars in the forest I need to have a scene of Michiru being like "Rei... my gaydar has spoken" and Rei just full on panicking like "NOO!!! I'M NOT- I JUST ADORE USAGI AS A FRIEND..."

Oh sapphic angst. A late submission, but I had to.
This is an extended part of my larger AU where all of the Sailor Senshi and pretty much all of the other characters are adults, and this particular scene takes place after the end of Chapter 10.
Rei is…confused. You could say that her thoughts are in a bit of chaos……she doesn’t know what to think. But her mind won’t let go of the girl who loves to wear pink. @smlgbtqweek
