I need to talk about the above scene with screaming fangirl Sailor Pluto feels because this woman loves Sailor Moon/Usagi/Serenity SO MUCH OKAY. JUST. SO FUCKING MUCH I CAN’T EVEN AND YOU WILL NEVER CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE.
She looks up from hugging Small Lady to apologize for doing her job and protecting the Time Gate and then she looks at Sailor Moon - RIGHT AT SAILOR MOON and ONLY at Sailor Moon- at her eyes visibly soften, the tone of her voice changes, and she says, “but you certainly are always a source of trouble for me” in this faraway, fond way and she uses “anata” for “you” which is a pretty familiar, affectionate way to address someone.
That isn’t what you would use for some formal personage whom you barley know but you would for a little silver-haired princess you watched grow up and a schoolgirl you followed through Tokyo with your eyes and a the daughter of a queen you served loyally and the mother of the little girl you LOVE.
OH and when she says that about “causing trouble” my heart BURSTS with FEELS because I interrupt it like: this little princess broke your heart when she died in the Silver Millennium and brought the kingdom crumbling around her, and then you watched her die again defeating Beryl, and for Pluto time isn’t linear at this point so maybe she sees her life as Setsuna Meioh and living and dying and her little outers family, and Chibi-Usa and her just growing closer and then maybe apart again as she grows up, and Mistress 9 and even the possibility of Galaxia and Sailor Moon attracting and defending evil again and again and again. The brightest star the defense and draw for all darkness in the galaxy and she can only look at her with the tenderest eyes - her princess, her queen, her Serenity, and say, “you sure are troublesome for me.” My job used to be easier before you and your family came along.
And this is the first time Sailor Moon has ever seen Pluto so she’s just like “huh with the what now?”
BUT UGH.
SAILOR PLUTO
FEELS
AVALANCHE
IN
MY
SOUL
and I’m not even sorry
You know, I think Pluto is actually my favorite character of all.
