I run a book blog (Almost Grown-up) and I write. But this is where I fangirl about Sailor Moon, The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, Harry Potter, YA fiction, Doctor Who, and anything else my little heart desires.IF YOU UNDERSTAND MY URL: Hi. Let's be friends.
Dust Goes In A Dust Bin
YES
YES EXCELLENT
OH THANK YOU
So after half an hour of Rei just saying “uh-huh”, Usagi begins to catch on.
“And I’m just worried that maybe something’s happened to him!”
“Uh-huh.”
“….I thought I might go check on him.”
“Uh-huh.”
“I’ll ride there on my giant talking frog.”
“Uh-huh.”
“REI-CHAN ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING??”
“…uh-huh.”
Usagi hangs up in anger, calls Mako, who’s in the middle of cooking and a little distracted but is fully supportive. “I’m sure he’s fine but I’ll come get you and we can go over there after dinner?”
“Really Mako-chan?”
“Yeah! Then I’ll kick his ass for worrying you.”
“Uh, well, no, you don’t have to do that.”
“No, I mean it! He knows everything you’ve been through! How dare he be so inconsiderate? DAMMIT, I’m getting angrier and angrier just thinking about this! You know what, fuck dinner, you wanna go there now? Let’s just go.”
“NO NO THAT’S OKAY I’M SURE IT’S FINE, LOVE YOU MAKO-CHAN, BYE NOW.”
Over to Ami.
“Maybe Mamoru-san’s doing research on our new enemy.”
“I guess …”
“You know, like we should be.”
“Yeah, but …”
“Because this new enemy is actually pretty serious and the sooner we discover their goal the sooner we—”
“Okay yeah, thanks Ami-chan.”
One more port of call.
Minako can’t stop laughing.
“Mamoru probably locked himself on the balcony or something.”
“Minako-chan.”
“No no, he’s probably at some big social event. An olive blazer swap or something.”
“Minako-chan!”
“Maybe he’s in a clandestine meeting of rose growers.”
“MINAKO-CHAN.”
“What? He’s FINE. You’d feel if he wasn’t fine, right?”
“I suppose.”
“So he’s FINE. Oh, unless there’s a cheesy speech-giving convention in town, then you might not see him for a while.”
Usagi hangs up on Minako’s cackling. She’s called everybody, but dammit, she still doesn’t feel better!
The phone rings at HIkawa Shrine. Grandpa picks it up. “Oh, Usagi-chan! Sure, I think she’s in her room, just a second.”
Grandpa opens the door. Rei’s still on her back on her bed, reading a manga. The phone receiver is next to her on the pillow.
“Uh-huh,” she says absently to no one.
Then, realizing Usagi’s on the phone, she clicks her receiver back on.
“Where did you go?”
“I hung up with you like an hour ago, didn’t you even notice??”
“…don’t be stupid, of course I did.”
“ANYWAY, as I was saying, the last I heard from Mamo-chan was at LUNCHTIME! Oh my lunch was great today! Mama packed my favourite rice balls and—”
Rei sets the phone down, and goes back to her manga. “Uh-huh.”
This is glorious.

For all you Darkling fans out there! ;)

Chris Evans was cast as both The Human Torch and Captain America because of reasons.
Really one of the best gifs I’ve ever seen.
This requires further research.
This was turning into a big honking reply to a Disqus comment on this post, so pulling it out into its own. Because apparently today I have a lot of feelings about Mercury’s computer.
The more I think about it, the more taken I am with this thing. Just think of the shit that computer has seen. This is the greatest tangible link the girls have to their past lives. This is an honest to goodness, completely functional relic from thousands of years ago.
I know they have their henshin pens, but I kinda have mixed thoughts on those. I’m not sure they’re completely necessary. I mean obviously they are at first, but as a focus for the girls’ own powers, not as in the actual device that allows them to transform. So in a few decades, they’ll be able to transform completely on their own without them, same as I don’t think they’ll always need their attack phrases either (as evidenced occasionally in the show already).
But this computer, it DOES THINGS. It’s has a mechanical function, as well as whatever magical stuff it can do. It has parts, and was assembled.
Who built this? Was it the Mercury we see briefly fighting Metallia or does it go even further back? What kind of information is stored here? I’d say it has some kind of magical component to it as well — Ami can instantly understand what it’s telling her, and I completely don’t buy that today’s Earth languages were in use on the Moon a few millennia ago. So it’s able to adapt itself to her. But it’s still a computer, and you have to think it’s storing stuff. Like I talked about in that previous post, I’m really taken with the idea that it has logs and records on the past Senshi. But what if it has more? Maybe SilMil Mercury was an avid journalist. Maybe she has an entire diary kept on that computer. Could it maybe capture images too? Guys maybe there are pictures on that computer of the Silver Millennium Senshi and Princess Serenity.
And that’s not even getting into how tied this thing is to Mercury herself. When Ami died in D-Point, her final act was to use her computer to smash the youma’s illusion crystal. When she died, the computer wasn’t safely stored away in a subspace pocket or whatever, it was in her hand. When the gizuishou swept them all up, it would’ve been lying next to her in the snow. The same thing happened to the Crescent Moon Wand, and that was kind of a thing because Usagi didn’t have it anymore. BUT AMI STILL HAS HER COMPUTER. How did that happen? Did Ami have to go on some kind of quest to reclaim it, or did it just return to her somehow? Is that maybe a function built into the computer itself? Some automatic homing device? So many questions!
I don’t doubt that Ami is going to find shit on that computer. The more I think about it, the more certain I am. She isn’t going to be able to resist digging into it. How does it even work? It’s tech that’s ancient but (ignoring the practicalities of it being 1990s “super” technology that we can now easily exceed on our phones), it’s beyond anything else on the planet. But she knows instinctively how to manipulate it, and you KNOW she’s going to go finding out what’s there. She’ll come upon all these files, all this information, and have no idea how to read it or interpret it, or maybe not even how to open it. Does she try to decipher the language herself? Does she go to Luna or Artemis, who must surely know how to read whatever languages were in use then? How do the cats react? The Senshi in the Silver Millennium weren’t just abstract concepts to them, THEY WERE REAL PEOPLE, people who they at minimum worked with, and may have deeply loved as a family. Would they help Ami? Refuse? Plead ignorant?
Ugh, I’m just totally wrapped up in this computer thing today. So many secrets there. So many wonderful secrets.
Just frak, now I want to fic about this. *searches for spare time*
I’ll come back for you i whisper as i caress the books i can’t afford
