Hi! Name's Saffron, but I go by Saff. Happy I found a wee community to peek into. I feel like I'm joining insanely late into the fandom, despite having been a fan since I was a toddler in the 90s.

My introduction to Sailor Moon was when the DiC version aired on TV for a while and I accidentally ran into a few episodes. In fact, the one were Nephrite meets his end in Naru's arms was the first episode, and I understood nothing besides him having been someone's boyfriend (I was like...4? 5?). I thought for the longest time that Naru was Sailor Jupiter, and that the Senshi had to defeat their boyfriends to get to the main villain. Mind you, I had not watched all the episodes, just parts of an episode here and there, and then never again until I was 12. By then I was living in Brazil and watching the Cartoon Network dub from there (which did not hide the fact that Fish Eye was a dude, and that also left a lasting impression on me).

Long story short, Sailor Moon has always been present in my life, I have loved it since wee, but I never actively participated in the fandom until now (and I have rewatched 3/5 of the classic series, gone to see the Super Live in March and started to RP in a Magical Girl MUSH as Zoisite).

I started to post some stuff on my side tumblr like sketches, and tried my hand on a dark fic that I need to revisit. Now I'm going back to LJ and older communities for fanfics and hidden gems I never got to read. Also have been collecting some doujinshi when I can find any that are specifically Shitennou or Amazon Trio related.

Yes, I have a soft spot for the villains. It's hard for me not to, especially finding out the implied backstory the Senshi had with Endymion's knights (I guess toddler me wasn't that off the mark lol). And that being (in my opinion) confirmed with the PC Engine game. I just love the tragedy of it all.

Okay, gonna go ahead and post two of the drawings I did recently.

I think you guys can guess what ships I have. Honestly I ship everyone with everyone. Hard not to, Sailor Moon seems to lend itself to that.

Anyway, it's good to meet yall, I hope to pop in with thoughts and chatters!

psps

anyone still around?

So it seems Usagi will once again grace us with her magical girl adventures.

If you've written or read fics featuring any related kink, you're very welcome to share the links to them in this comm.

Today I finished watching Patlabor and it was a very satisfying series to say the least, even though the final episode felt more like a normal instance than having closure after all the aventures and misadventures the team went through. I do believe the episode before the last would had been better left as THE last episode since it closed so nicely in comparison, but I digress.

But for now...




Mission accomplished.

We're having to rebuild the search server again (previously, previously). It will take a few days to reindex all the content.

Meanwhile search services should be running, but probably returning no results or incomplete results for most queries.

Came accross this cropped screenshot someone mentioned was from Patlabor on which two very familiar looking girls are passing by. Not sure of this was a dedicated cameo or just coincidence, but am trying to see what episode and sweies from Patlabor its from.

Its still pretty neat.

EDIT: Thanks to a reply below, I got told its most likely from episode 2 of the Patlabor OVA.

(Crossposted from my journal.)

Apocalypse Hotel was great. Just great. Go watch it. It's definitely on my Hugo ballot next year.

Kowloon Generic Romance ended very well, even if the finale didn't quite have time to spell out every last detail of what was going on. Presumably the manga, which is ending soon, will be able to explain better. Recommended with some disclaimers: there are some very male-gaze camera angles at first but they stop after episode 2, and there is someone who initially appears to be a depressingly stereotypical queer villain but ultimately becomes three-dimensional and far more sympathetic.

Zatsu Tabi continued to be exactly what it appeared to be, a low-key story about travel and introduction to some of Japan's lesser-known tourist attractions.

Sword of the Demon Hunter is continuing into summer, but I have to say this: The choice to fridge someone in the first episode wound up feeling more and more out of place as the story went on. The subsequent story isn't grimdark at all; eventually it's about a guy hanging out in a soba shop with his friends and taking on jobs with an emphasis on how his work heals the community. Even the demons are mostly sympathetic at this point. So I'm not sure why the author chose to do that, other than he couldn't think of another way to get the protagonist out of his comortable village life and out into the world.

For next season, the shows I'm looking at fall into three categories:

Shows I am truly interested in checking out: Bullet/Bullet, Necronomico and the Cosmic Horror Show, The Earthbound Mole, Onmyo Kaiten Re: Birth Verse
Show I would be checking out if it weren't on Netflix: The Summer Hikaru Died
Shows I should be excited about on paper but am not really: Cute High Earth Defense Club Haikara!, Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun season 2 part 2, Ruri Rocks
