I personally like that idea, because it means that Artemis could stick around with Sailor Venus for multiple reincarnations. (Which means that he could be her cat dad like 800 times. ) (Artemis just having little family photos of them, but just in different time zones and locations. “and thats the universe where humanity doesn’t exist. And remember that? oh, and theres a photo of when we went to disney world!”)

I love it too, because it reminds me of in the His Dark Materials trilogy where after death the particles that were once a daemon reunite with the particles that were once their human. I honestly haven’t stopped thinking about that series since middle school. 

Okay then. What if Luna’s change, was granting an immortal soul an immortal body. Or rather, a body that can be repaired, replaced, and hidden indefinitely? After all, if theres no way to know the moon princess’ll be reborn on a planet that has housecats, then a toy of a nonexistent being would be useful. (And if toys don’t exist, then the object could be changed for whatever suits the universe she’ll be reborn in) But this caused those theoretical universes to all exist.(Tumblr crashed. Sorry)

THANK YOU FOR ACCEPTING THE “how to justify Sailor Moon and PGSM taking place in the same universe” CHALLENGE. Also the “toy as a soul vessel” concept is GREAT because it implies that if Luna’s plushie body got too damaged, her consciousness could hop around into different inanimate objects as she finds useful.

Usagi sneaks downstairs for a midnight snack and the fridge screams “USAGI GO BACK TO BED”

“LUNA STOP POSSESSING THE FRIDGE I JUST WANT A PUDDING CUP”

I was scared of Princess Sailor Moon. She is basically the antithesis of Sailor Moon. She is bent on destruction and ruin. That’s completely out of character for her.

You know how some people use their power to create, and some use it to destroy? Usagi/Serenity is both those people.

There should be an episode of PGSM, where Sailor Pluto appears. But the entire scene is her yelling about stuff that decidedly never happened. (Because she’s just spent the last months, fixing those issues so that they never happened) She then leaves, and none of the sailor scouts know who she was, or what she’s talking about.

What if, in the very last episode of PGSM, Sailor Pluto appears and reveals that the PGSM universe is a deviation from the “normal” timeline (that of the anime.) For some reason, a single unwise from an errant time traveler caused Minako to become terminally ill, turned Crown from arcade to karaoke parlor, and made Motoki for some reason obsessed with turtles. (The far reaching consequences of the butterfly effect are truly incomprehensible to an individual’s experience of linear time.) All the changes between the canons were the result of something going “wrong” in the past; once she fixes it, everything that made the show unique would be scrubbed out. Usagi thinks that this timeline is just fine; if Pluto changes their past, then she wouldn’t be in the place she is now with the friends she loves so much. She doesn’t care that this timeline is “wrong,” because she found happiness here and doesn’t want to risk losing it. She begs, but Pluto has made up her mind; she was the guardian of time before she was guardian of the princess, after all. Time resets. The episode ends where the anime begins. Would that be a) funny, b) kinda fucked up, or c) both

Isn’t it kinda really sad that usagi was just a shell for serenity

I’m not sure I agree! Even if Usagi started as nothing more than a host body to a reincarnated soul, she has gained a powerful personality, and her convictions are so strong that she can stand up against Serenity’s wishes for destruction. Usagi inherits Serenity’s problems, but handles them in a different way. I don’t think that Usagi is merely a shell for Serenity; I think she’s a second chance to do things right. 

It’s been awhile since I tried to watch Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon. I’m kind of curious: are we supposed to pretend that the cats are actual cats instead of stuffed animals? (Like they just didn’t want to hire a trained animal so they went with a plush representative.) Kinda like that thing in Japanese plays were you pretend the stage hands don’t exist, until they do? Or are they referred to as a stuffed animal in the show’s universe as well?

They’re stuffed animals in-universe!

Which, honestly, is the smartest decision of ALL TIME, because a) it justifies bringing Luna and Artemis to places where real cats wouldn’t be allowed, like movie lots and middle school, b) you don’t need to train a real cat to do tricks, and c) you don’t even have to pretend this thing moves like a real cat at all.

ONE OF MANY GREAT CREATIVE DECISIONS

July 19 is the birthday of Aya Sugimoto, who played Queen Beryl in Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon.

@sailormoonsub Beryl is gorgeous even without make up O.O

for real though Beryl is gorgeous she doesn’t need to go kidnapping dudes to get herself a man

Pro tip @Toei if you want to make a billion dollars just rerelease those PGSM plush dolls of Luna and Artemis
