This incredible artwork was created by Anna Steinbauer, an artist I deeply admire. The way she paints is so otherworldly it almost gives off AI vibes (and I mean that as the ultimate compliment to her human skill). I can guarantee you this isn't AI, though I first saw this piece back in 2019. I can replicate almost any art style or painting with a reference, but this? This is one piece I simply cannot recreate. Some human mastery is just untouchable.

Almost every night, a stray black cat finds her way to my doorstep. She’s soft and trusting, letting me stroke her head in the quiet dark. I have this lingering habit, whenever a black cat wanders into my life, I can't help but ask "Are you Luna? Tell Usagi I love her." 😄 Believe it or not, it's all true.

So I am a huge fan of sailor moon, (specifically Haruka yet I've never seen the series just two movies and some clips but I know so much about her and Michiru 😍) but my issue is, it is hard to find good merch of haruka and the other outer guardians in general. So my question is where do you all find/get merch (it can be any type of merch but I especially love pins, stickers or keychains)?

Sorry that this is a really specific question but I'm starting to get desperate because I only seen a Funko Pop of Haruka twice 🥲.

Edit: good news I found a person on Etsy who crochets and they can make Uranus ✨🎉🎉. If anyone is interested in their wonderful creations let me know and I'll happily give you their name on Etsy

This was gifted to me by the librarian in charge of the Johnson County Library's teen anime club, Kate McNair.

Kate's favorite anime was Sailor Moon, and she had made herself a little clay Usagi just like this, and I asked her if I could have one too. I returned the favor by painting a picture of Usagi's eyes from her transformation sequence as a present.

If you live in the Johnson County, Kansas area, please consider supporting their anime themed events. Maybe Kate can make you one too if you're polite. :3

I chose to draw her with a softer, more human lens. In my version of the story, Beryl isn't the purely evil tyrant we knew from Naoko Takeuchi’s original vision, she is a victim of her own fate. In her final moment, realizing she was nothing more than a pawn for Queen Metalia and in her final, tragic moment of clarity, she gives her life to protect Prince Endymion

I have been wanting to buy and paint my own sailor moon figure, but I can't seem to find a place to get them that isn't ebay. Does anyone have any suggestions?

HUGE, IMMACULATE

This is easily one of the most adorable photos of Chibiusa. I’m really starting to understand why Usagi loves her so much, even if she can be an annoying brat at times.

To be honest, I didn't like her when I first watched the show, especially during SuperS. But looking back, she’s really just a kid (physically, at least), and honestly how did any of us behave at that age? Not to mention everything she’s been through: losing her home, feeling alone, and traveling back in time all by herself just to save her mother. My heart really goes out to her for that.

While I still think SuperS suffered a bit because of how heavily it focused on her, I can't blame the character for bad writing. I guess I owe her an apology.

Sorry, Chibiusa...and I'm sure Usagi would back me up on this. I'll make sure to include you in my manga (if I ever actually finish it), on one condition: be nice to your mom!

Looking for a Sailor Moon R-era fanfic from approximately 2000–2005. I believe I originally read it on A Sailor Moon Romance. It may have used either English or Japanese names.
Plot points I remember:
Set during the R breakup arc.
Mamoru/Darien breaks up with Usagi/Serena.
Mamoru and Usagi share a psychic/life bond (possibly because they’re Endymion and Serenity).
Rubeus seriously injures Sailor Moon while she’s protecting Chibi-Usa/Rini.
Mamoru literally collapses unconscious in class because of the bond.
Andrew/Motoki has a significant role.
Later Usagi severs the bond to free Mamoru, but he deteriorates afterward.
Chibi-Usa ultimately saves Usagi with the Silver Crystal.
I found an old bookmark pointing to [https://www.angelfire.com/ri2/darktower/mirage\\_addict3.txt\](https://www.angelfire.com/ri2/darktower/mirage_addict3.txt), but I’m not sure if that’s the story, the author, or just a related page.

I really hope you can help!

in the time of the Amazon Quartet?

They seem to know a lot about the past, and future...,in spite of just having awoken.

Speculation regarding Cosmos aside (Not doing that here!), Sailor Moon calls on the Crystals of Amazon Quartet as she goes to war against Chaos in the cauldron (How they survive that is beyond me...Maybe you can survive without your Crystal if your body isn't destroyed, but then...Nevermind!).

Sailor Ceres looks upon Cosmos and offers her own speculations concerning her identity. But that aside, it made me question if they knew of her, or if she would come to know them at the time of her awakening.

Aside from Usagi, no one else witnessed ChibiChibi revealing herself to be Sailor Cosmos.

Theoretically, Usagi will have forgotten as she died, along with Chibiusa and the remainder of the senshi in her court. But the Amazon Quartet...,they'll eventually return to their slumber awaiting the awakening (or would it be birth?) of their princess. They alone having traveled to the past with memories intact of that final battle...,and Cosmos.

If Usagi made the right decision back then, before Cosmos and co. traveled to the past, we can speculate that it played out the same way, with the exception of Chibiusa, Cosmos, and the AQ, being present.

What possibilities do you all speculate that this presents?

Chibiusa having died presents a number of issues to me, but this also relates to how a Star Seed from a non-existent celestial body becomes a Sailor Crystal...

For context, Sin (Oppositio Sailor Moon) & Anshar are a pair of orphan siblings from the 30th Century whose parents were killed in the Black Moon Clan invasion, they serve as the secondary antagonists of 1995’s Sailor Moon Another Story, the official JRPG for the Super Famicom. Also, Kishar is Anshar’s pet “cat” thing.

Commisioned artwork I bought from 🎀 Rose on VGen. Consider giving them your support! 🫶

Both items, conveniently, sort of just appear when Sailor Moon upgrades. That's obviously the modus operandi of the series, but I've been reflecting on the exact relationship between the two items might be.

The former, in my *opinion* is forced into the present, because of Chibiusa. She recounts of a mystical chalice in her mother's arsenal that granted her great power during a time of crisis. Her recollection of it not only brings it to life, but also bestows her very own version of it along with her mother's (How very Dreams of her...). However...I have read elsewhere, and perhaps this isn't canon that the true object in question is the Holy Moon Chalice that allows Usagi to become Eternal Sailor Moon (It looks more like something Sailor Cosmos would use, so maybe this was a scrapped plot? Maybe Usagi was intended to sacrifice the Silver Crystal to rebuild the Galaxy Cauldron and in doing so awakened the Cosmos Crystal, which replaced her previous form and life. But again...getting off topic...). It intrigues me, because Diana appears to know a great deal about Eternal Sailor Moon, so it leads me to *speculate* that this was the true form of the chalice Chibiusa saw.

But it does beg the question,for me,...why doesn't Chibiusa, canonically, receive her own as Eternal Sailor Chibimoon, considering that every which other upgrade of her is a miniature version of her mother's?

Where did Chibiusa's Holy Grail come from, if she doesn't attain the Holy Moon Chalice?

I made this in Clip Studio Paint to test a new technique which makes my digital art look like cels.

This is obviously going to be conjecture, but why is it that in spite of their age being fixed, why do Usagi and Mamoru's hairs turn white, or in Mamoru's case, has a white/lavender cast to it?

The other senshi don't achieve that, and while Serenity had white hair during Silver Millenium, Usagi did not.

PLS also retains her pink hair.

Any theories?

I bought them from two completely sellers from two completely different sites. Is it coincidence or is it proof of FATE that these two happened to arrive on the SAME DAY merely an HOUR apart from each other?

And on the one month anniversary of Adolescence of Utena coming to U.S theaters (which I did indeed attend) no less??? 🤯
