See, in many modern animes, you’d probably get the protagonist to say something like, “Wha-WHAAAT? Uh, b-but we’re both girls! Shouldn’t you be giving this to a boy or something?”
I really like how Usagi handles it. She’s not undermining the girl’s feelings and she’s taking her seriously. And while she doesn’t reciprocate, she offers her friendship instead of just brushing the girl off and going “ew, gay weirdo!” Sailor Moon really did empower women and sexuality, and this is one of the many scenes that showcases that.
oh. I remember that. The love letter incident. If I’m correct it goes like this:
GirlA: You’re Miss Tsukino in Class one, first year, aren’t you? Usagi: Yes, right… GirlA: Well, please take this… Makoto: A l… love letter? Usagi: Well, I appreciate your feelings, but there is already someone… GirlA: Oh, no… Usagi: Don’t cry! Even though you can’t be a girlfriend… Usagi: …you may want to be one of my friends… Usagi:And, it’s better to fall in love with a boy! GirlA: When you said, “there is already someone”, was that about yourself? Usagi: Yes. I feel a bit awkward, but that’s right. Girl:Oh… I understand! Please pass this to Yaten! See you!
HAHAHA Tumblr at its finest.
Episode 178 if you want to check.
No but seriously. This scene was made to show how bluntly naive Usagi is. Nothing more, nothing less. Other than that Sailor Moon does have some important scenesand facts regarding LGBT.
Starlights are transgender.
90s Zoisite and Kunzite and were a gay couple.
The whole story was actually intended to be Yuri, remnants are still visible in the beginning of the series.
Haruka and Michiru, duh.
And Fish Eye being a transgender as well.
Sailor Moon does empower woman and sexuality, but not necessary in this scene, which just was meant to be … hilarious.
“… “I’m taking action because I feel desperate,” said U.S. climate scientist Peter Kalmus, who along with several others locked himself to the front door of a JPMorgan Chase building in Los Angeles. A recent report found that the financial giant is the biggest private funder of oil and gas initiatives in the world.
“It’s the 11th hour in terms of Earth breakdown, and I feel terrified for my kids, and terrified for humanity,” Kalmus continued. “World leaders are still expanding the fossil fuel industry as fast as they can, but this is insane. The science clearly indicates that everything we hold dear is at risk, including even civilization itself and the wonderful, beautiful, cosmically precious life on this planet. I actually don’t get how any scientist who understands this could possibly stay on the sidelines at this point.” …”
That band right there? In my deep-dark beginnings, they were instrumental. Got me kicked out of my aunt’s house because I guess religion or something. My first band tshirt. Because I’m Edgy. I’m Deep and Dark.
and so here I am on the innernets now and Gary Numan posts how his buddy Wayne’s dog is ill.
Wayne would be the dude singing up there. Wayne Hussey.
This is simultaneously both the BEST thing and worst thing I’ve stumbled upon today. These tiny little #FunkoPop figures on the ink pens….they’re perfect for #MyGirlPheebs …. #dammit #toycollector #bjd #abjd #playswithdolls #luts #delfsoony #resinsoulgang
Man okay when I got my wisdom teeth out it was a fucking experience. Before the surgery wasn’t too interesting but as soon as I woke up I saw the nurse next to me and was all like “hey… i think… i died… and now I’m in a parallel universe… and i gotta go back to my house and kill the me from this universe” and he was just kinda like “alright, you do that”. And then the other nurse kept going in and out of the room to get things and I thought there was like 5 of her that kept coming out of the room, and then so when she was wheeling me out in a wheelchair I was like “damn… why are there so many of you… there’s like 5 many of you” and she was just kinda like “alright, you do that”.
Anyway I got to the car and my dad was there and he was like “how ya feeling son” in the dadliest way possible and I was like “MAN I AM PUMPED LETS GET SOME JUICE I’M STARVED” so we drove about 3 blocks to a jamba juice, whereupon I say “I’m good I can do this” and run/drunkstumble 30 feet to the door. I burst in the door like a viking returning from some fucking battle and holler “WHATS UP FUCKS” to everyone in the store, which was thankfully just the 2 people behind the counter, who looked probably as scared/confused as a jamba juice employee could look.
So anyway, as my dad explained the situation I looked up at the jamba juice menu and was utterly fucking lost in it. Like I swear I was looking at this menu board for a year, deciphering this Rosetta stone of fruits. I distinctly remember that I was looking at each item in a smoothie, thinking of how it tasted, then moving on to the next thing and thinking of how that tasted, and how they would taste together. Since most smoothies had 3 or 4 items, this took some thinking. So my dad sees me in this extreme brain blast state of mind and says “hey are you going to order or what”. Keep in mind I’m on the first fucking smoothie on the list here. So I just say “shush man I’m trying to do fruit science”, and then when I realized that this process could take literal years, I just said “yeah give me a smooth regular” which for the uninitiated, isn’t actually a real thing on any menu. Oh, also I asked them if the “boosted” smoothies would give me super powers and then pointed my fingers at them and made “lightning noises”.
So my dad just orders me the first thing on the menu and I go to sit down and stare out the window or some shit and my thoroughly amused dad just looks at me and says “how ya feelin?”. Now at this time I was feeling a lot of things, but most noticeable to me was the gauze in my mouth, so I just look at him and say “there’s these fuckin… tiny sheep in my head” which at the time was the best way I had to convey this feeling. Anyway about that time, the jamba juice guy brings us our drinks and he gives me a small thing of mario kart stickers and I swear I almost cried from the tsunami of emotion that gift made me feel (I still have them).
Anyway the rest of the story is we drove home and I explained this programming project I was working on to my dad in perfect detail somehow and then I came home and went on facebook and posted a comment on my friends status (because I couldn’t find the status update bar) that read: “i just took a lort of painkillers and yelled at everyone in a jambo juice”
Hate that actually going out and doing things I wanna do makes me happier.
Me: Let’s go to a bunch of indie bookstores today.
My brain: Nooooooooo!!!!!!!! Effort!!!!
Me: *goes to a bunch of indie bookstores like I wanted*
My brain: Oh, okay. Here, have a happy and relaxing chemical.
Me: Nice. So can we put in the effort to do this again sometime?
My brain: Noooooo!!!!!!
Recently I saw a tiktok by John Green where he said something along the lines of “the worst part of taking a stupid walk for my stupid mental health is that it actually works.” and I think the same principle applies to actually going out to places you like.
Feel like I rushed this a bit. I’ve been rewatching the A-team and all the stunts they have to pull to break Murdock out of the VA prompted this nonsense. I could rewrite this ending a thousand times and still come up with a different way things could’ve gone. IT DIDN’T NEED TO END LIKE THATJOSEF!!!
