I’m more curious how Chibiusa thinks her mother forgot her birthday if they’re born on the same day. Did Usagi stop celebrating her own birthday

There’s no way Usagi in any incarnation would ever stop celebrating her own birthday. Even if it means sneaking into the crystal kitchens multiple times a day for her requisite intake of cake. Just enough for her to maintain her usual elegance.

Chibiusa sees her mother’s royal composure and half of her mind is like “I want to be a lady like my mom, and I suppose a lady must retain her humility and never seek such attentions” and the other half is like “GOD DAMN IT I JUST WANT A BALLOON AND A CUPCAKE MAYBE EVEN JUST LIKE A PAT ON THE HEAD AT THIS POINT”

Don’t forget it’s Chibiusa’s birthday today too! Poor baby gets overlooked in favour of her mum way too often *huggles Chibs*

You’re right!

Happy birthday Chibiusa! Hopefully no-one gets HORRIBLY TRAUMATIZED by SUSPECTED PARENTAL NEGLECT this year.

In most shows, the “forgotten birthday” plot is played for laughs.

This is not most shows.

Her weapon of choice is a childlike visual symbolism immediately tied to her feelings of neglect. This is not okay.

“What’s that doing here? That’s not crystal.”

These four words have caused so much needless destruction, time and time again.
