well, there's the amusing thought i had of "what WOULD Zayne's henshin sequence look like anyways?" but that i decided that was probably unworthy of me :P and yes, i also see the parallels in some of the themes of death and rebirth and constant reformation and loss. Mamoru in particular always struck me as a somewhat tragic figure in the manga (not the anime, they're fairly divorced from each other) because he always dies first.
i discovered Sailor Moon when i was home sick one day from work and aggravatedly flipping channels on the tv, when i stopped on an anime i hadn't seen before. i'd managed to tune in on the episode where Nephrite dies, literally at the scene where he and .. Molly?... are talking on the park bench and it was so sweet and sad that i stopped flipping and just watched the rest of the episode. i was pretty hooked after that. i eventually had the japanese manga ordered in special for me for a bunch of money at the time, through a store that could import stuff from out of country. its head and shoulders better quality than the english version that came out much later, almost like they scanned in the images from the original, and then reprinted it so the lines just aren't as clean or crisp.
i collected just about everything i could get my hands on, including all the artbooks, color novels, doujin, all sorts of stuff. somewhere in the closet i even have a working kalediomoonscape rod that just needs batteries. i wrote impassioned fanfiction before fanfiction was even a thing, got involved with other fans (what we'd call Big Name Fans now) on websites and forums and things - i even wrote a poem about sailor moon and the endymion myth, because i was in a poetry group at the time because of my mom and that's all i could think of as subject matter for a challenge.
my account number on fanfiction.net is in the 4 digits and i only made an account so i could stick my sailor moon stuff on it! i remember thinking at the time that it seemed silly, because anybody who wanted to read my fiction would have already done so on the archive sites, but i figured.. oh, what the heck. maybe somebody new will find it there. i had a website dedicated to sailor moon and i even managed to resurrect some of it off an old hard drive and have it immortalized even with all the holes for the missing pages that i couldn't raise from the dead because it was such a large part of me for so long it seems honorable to put flowers on it even still.
ah hindsight. and also ah, young love! i will forever and ever adore sailor moon.
re/telepathy -- i mean, it was an off the cuff remark, but wouldn't the case for it be actually fairly strong? our gift is, after all, resonance and while i assume it works with relative strangers relatively well, its definitely *very* strong with the boys, on both Watson and Doylist sides of an explanation. why wouldn't we have a crude sort of sense of connection, mind to mind? and while Lemurians might sing through the waters, but it would be a lot easier if they didn't have to. and we make everything stronger, do we not? if anything, i'd be more agreeable to an explanation that includes all the boys, not just Rafayel.
