Is there anything you think the 90s did better then the original manga?

Oh yeah, a ton. I prefer the 90's anime to the manga overall. The manga was pretty bare bones, though I think the manga does have it's strengths, I'm not like super anti-manga or think it's all garbage like some of my friends. It was the foundation for the anime, I think there are reasons why it was the way it was (a lot of them being crushing deadlines) and a couple of really interesting ideas it had I wish the 90s anime had fleshed out. (PGSM, notably, did flesh out some of those ideas--like Rei and Makoto's backstories--and it was really good).

I've talked about it before, but Haruka and Michiru wouldn't have been such icons and so important to queer fans if we only had the manga--the anime fleshed out their relationship, fleshed out their characters, and importantly, never had Haruka inexplicably suprise kiss Usagi, thus cheating on Michiru and never addressing what that means for their relationship. I just generally prefer their characters and how they were handled way more in the 90s anime. Michiru in particular was pretty done dirty by the manga, while she's wonderfully complex in the anime.

The anime also fleshed out the other girls and put emphasis on their friendships way more than the manga, which I heavily prefer. I'm not one of those people who's going to complain Mamoru was "shafted" by the anime, I prefer the relationship with the girls, who often had absolutely nothing to do in the manga and got captured over and over again. The manga was very focused on Usagi (and Mamoru and Chibiusa) above all else.

(I will say though, that the manga treated Usagi and Mamoru more as a passionate relationship between equals while the anime was often "ugh usagi is sooo childish and unreasonable and jealous and Mamoru is the Reasonable Man who has to put up with her, women amiright" you can kind of tell which one was written by a woman vs a man. doesn't help that the anime worsened their age gap.)

The anime also added a lot of the humor and fun we associate with Sailor Moon, and got to make the villains memorable in their own right--see the anime's version of professor Tomoe, Kunzite and Zoisite, so on. It added a lot of queer stuff too (some good like Kunzite and Zoisite, some pretty problematic and bad like Fish Eye).

Overall, Sailor Moon wouldn't be what it is in our hearts without the 90s anime, and I think it's the default for a lot of people (myself included) for a reason.

Gin and Nev... A friendship forged in fire

Wow thank you so much, I appreciate it! And I love this question! Apologies for the late response… I’ll get better at these 🫠

But oh boy, life at Hogwarts during book 7… I love it; it’s such a rich, chewy era for resilience, relationships, and coming-of-age. And I’ve really enjoyed creating snapshots of different characters’ perspectives (I have a couple more in the works for that series); they’ve really helped shape my ideas for arcs after the war. 

Neville and Ginny, though!! Two of my absolute favorite characters. The books don’t give us much to go on, but my headcanon has always taken the potential for their friendship and run a bit wild. I think these months at Hogwarts would have solidified it: running the D.A., caring for younger students, and pissing off the Carrows. 

(This turned into a full-on ramble, so here we go…)

I don’t think Neville and Ginny were particularly close before this year. Friends, for sure, but I think Ginny would have seen him primarily as her brother’s dorm-mate, even after the Yule Ball. She had her own friends (and boyfriend) to occupy her during D.A. meetings in OoTP, and we’re told that that Neville and Luna were the ones who bonded after the Department of Mysteries. 

Throughout Deathly Hallows, though, Neville’s no longer a peripheral friend of Ginny’s, but a comrade on a battlefield that’s been otherwise abandoned. Two Gryffindors, both with more skin in the game than most, both with nothing to lose by fighting. I think that pressure would give them both a harder edge than their peers; even Luna, who joins to form that melt-your-heart trio of misfits, has to worry about her father’s safety as a consequence of her actions. But Neville’s parents were Aurors and Ginny’s family make up most of the Order— they both come from fighters. 

Like Harry and Hermione (another gorgeous friendship that reduces me to a puddle), I think Ginny and Neville’s relationship is a thing with legs of its own, independent from the trio’s dynamic. Their characters balance one another beautifully, based on everything we’re given in the text. I put a glimpse of this into “Defiance,” which takes place in October of that year. And as the months passed, they would have only grown closer, trusted each other more, and developed sharper instincts for one another out of survival.

There’s an incredible amount of grit behind the strength we do get to see from Ginny in canon. Girl has seen a lot by this year, and I think she’d be the one to spearhead the revolution within the walls. But, and this is more of my HC here, she’s headstrong and impulsive... like an unbroken filly, I think she’d need someone else to take aim after the abandonment by Harry and her family makes her desperate and reckless. In a war of strategic mayhem, I see Neville acting the playmaker to Ginny’s agent of chaos, directing her desire for resistance into action. I’ve never had a doubt that she’s the one to hatch the idea of stealing the sword, but he’s the one pulling out the drawing board immediately after “Defiance.” He’d feel the most guilt after the fallout of their plans, too, surrounding the events of “Surrender.”

And, as the Carrows continue to do their damnedest to break her, I think Ginny gradually relies on Neville more to be the ballast of their ship. It’s a role that I think Harry will take over a bit, eventually: encouraging her to harness her fire as she picks up the pieces of her Hogwarts years.

And Neville! If ever there was a better fictional character to steal my heart. By the end of book 7, we see a completely transformed version of the nervous little sweetie who’d lost his toad on the train. I don’t remember where the idea came from to have him growing herbal remedies and passing them off as homework, but I sort of fell in love with it. This boy’s using Mandrakes as weapons up until the very end; surely he spent the entire term risking his behind to visit the greenhouses and follow his passion (and without a handy invisibility cloak, too… take that, Potter).

Neville’s always looked up to Harry, drawing inspiration from seeing him speak up against Umbridge and Snape. We get glimpses of his burgeoning voice in OoTP and HBP, fighting alongside Harry in the Department of Mysteries and defending Hogwarts after Dumbledore’s death. But we don’t see Fully Evolved Neville— D.A. leader, confident battle strategist, “I’ll join you when hell freezes over” Neville— until he’s spent more time with Ginny (DH, ch. 36). I’m sure her sharp tongue and rogue fearlessness have rubbed off on him by the time she’s whisked off to Muriel’s, and it’s something he carries with him (along with Luna’s desire for justice) in that final month facing the Carrows without them.

After the war, I have no doubt that Neville and Ginny remain close. Similarly to her dynamic with Harry, there’s an opposites-attract element to their relationship: with her encouraging spontaneity and exploration and him bringing more grounded levels of insight and empathy. I think the trio with Luna remains intact, but, like the Golden three, morphs a bit into three individual friendships with their own strengths to offer. Ginny’s seen enough of Harry’s struggles to help Neville navigate his new war heroism in a world where he’ll become more popular than he ever imagined (she definitely becomes the world’s best wingwoman at many a pub). The three of them all lose a great deal, too— particularly Ginny, with the death of her brother. I won’t go into detail because I have a lot drafted up for these two… but I think her relationship with Neville, welded and galvanized by a year of growth and suffering and hope, will be instrumental to her journey of regaining her voice. 

Lots of words, lots of thoughts, but I hope that addressed the question! Thanks again for reaching out, it means a lot! 🌱

i love you i love you i love you i love you thank you for doing this thank you for making this account exist you are everything

aw you're welcome! we're glad this account is helping others in the community :)

TMNT AU Question:

Your take on Miyamoto Usagi?

I do have sketch of him!

CV'Usagi is a genius technologist, he also always travel everywhere.

Like every Usagi, he is also a ronin (modern ronin) and sometimes help people to fix their stuff if they pay him sgsgsg. It's not always money to pay him tho.

Honestly Idk his role in CV yet, but he does exist

another bon answer for @ablueoctopus !

Curious about your sibling au. Do Nevin and Drew ever figure out they’re related?

Nop

Ironically they both claim to be ‘platonic soulmate’ or friends by destiny smt like that but they never thought if they are actually related

For the fanfic writing asks from a while back: 72 and 79! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ sorry I forgor 🥺 htn was very distracting 😆

79. do you have any writing advice you'd like to share?

don't forget your snacks, your water, and your wrist stretches! also don't be afraid to pick apart a paragraph or a page to figure out what's bugging you about it, even if it unravels you'll redo it better than it was before <3

lois and hal from malcolm in the middle....... love is real

SCREAMING gdhfjfjkgg apparently op is upset that the post made it into "skz territory" like girl. its your own fault🥺😔🤚🏻

Hello fellow sailor moon I just found your blog and in quite intrigued and figured you might find this question interesting

So I was watching Sailor Stars episode 7, and I realised that the sailor moon in the anime has something of a no kill rule in the anime while the in manga she seems pretty OK to kill most of her foes

In the anime, she spears a lot of her villains with the exception of Queen Beryl and pharoh 90, so I was wondering, do you think the sailor moon should have a no kill rule

Personally, I'm not a fan of her killing in the manga, considering she's meant to be the representation of love, so I'm kinda glad the 90s anime gave her the no kill rule

But in your detailed opinion do you think sailor moon should have a no kill rule?

(ftr i think manga Sailor Moon would also have saved an innocent civilian she knew had been transformed into a monster against her will. She refused to kill Hotaru, after all)

The no kill rule is kind of a weird thing thing to contemplate because it's like, does killing the monsters violate her supposed no kill rule? Sure, they're technically made of evil magic or objects or whatever but they're all sentient, and in later seasons they start having distinct personalities (the doorknob one who was bad at fighting, the jump rope girl who wanted friends, ect) but she never tries to talk them out of their behavior the way she would a human foe. It's kind of a convention of the genre.

I think Sailor Moon killing most of her enemies quickly was just a convention of how the manga had to work--Naoko only had twelve chapters and she was told to design seven or more villains to cover a 45 episode season and now she has to fit them in a short space somehow... so having them one shotted is really the only way to go about it. She didn't have time do do stuff like redemption arcs for villains, while the anime did.

It's also notable that Usagi regrets this even at the end of the manga. She realizes that these dark magic abominations were not something seperate from her or the rest of humanity, but lonely beings just like herself. And she grows tired of killing, because with all her loved ones gone there's nothing left to fight for.

As for my ideal, I prefer a mix. The Usagi who offers a hand to everyone, who sincerely believes anyone can change and should be given a chance... but if they've rejected that hand, and even worse, hurt/killed her friends, she'd do what needed to be done to protect the world, with a very heavy heart. She will never, ever give up on anyone if there's even a glimmer of a chance they would change their ways, but she's not stupid enough to die instead of defend.

I do thing the end of the anime where she forgave Galaxia for killing her friends and just totally let her off the hook- without even knowing if Galaxia would bring them back--was a bit too much in the other direction, personally. I wanted to see more anger from her, and i believe she WOULD normally have been very angry (like she was in the manga) if the writers hadn't decided she must be as saint like as possible in those episodes. I'm fine with her reaching out to Galaxia and helping her but there should have also been some anger and a demand there- undo the damage you've done, bring back my friends and if you can't I WILL personally remove your powers and we will rebuild every planet you've destroyed, find every survivor, because you're going to have to work for this."

The Usagi who killed Beryl (and Kunzite!) would have demanded those things, and I don't think her into becoming someone who wouldn't do those things makes her more enlightened, it just makes her seem less like a real person.

(Usagi does save Galaxia even more inexplicably in the manga, but there it comes off as an act of desperation after seeing everyone she knows get killed, it's over, there's no hope, she can't take it anymore, she wants to at least still have one person there with her even if it's the person who killed them, because at least Galaxia understands her deep loneliness)

To be clear, it's not like I think the last episode is terrible or anything. I can roll with it, and I love the scene where Galaxia's shell cracks open and we see her true self underneath. It just felt off, because yeah, Usagi is love, but love can be angry, love can be unforgiving, when the people you love the most are hurt.

Babies and mama! I love her dearly and her wriggly little kids

What BEAUTIFUL kitty-catts!!! They look so small and cute and holdable and they’re just enveloped in surrounding fur the dear things.

Eternal gratitude to you for showing me them ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥
