Have a Good Day.

Another flawless victory.

This is Minako’s response in episode 35 when, after the other girls learn of their pasts in the Moon Kingdom, they ask if they’re really human or if they’re aliens. They were reincarnated as Earthlings, and as such, have human parents.

Queen Serenity was the mother of Princess Serenity, but Ikuko Tsukino gave birth to Usagi Tsukino and is her mother. Queen Serenity and Usagi are still related in a distant, almost nonphysical way, but Ikuko is her biological mama. This doesn’t mean that Usagi can’t love Queen Serenity as a mother, and that doesn’t mean that she loves Ikuko any less. 

But Ikuko is the one who raised Usagi from birth, who held her hand on the first day of school, who went to all of her plays and other performances, who baked her treats when she was upset, who approved of Usagi’s boyfriend and even told Usagi to invite him over when her overprotective father was gone… basically, Ikuko mothered the hell out of Usagi.

And Queen Serenity gave up her life so Usagi could have all of these things. Her love for her is so strong that she was able to keep a small manifestation of herself alive for countless years so that she could answer any questions her daughter might have and see her for one last time. Serenity might not be the present-day Usagi’s biological mother, but she loves her all the same.

So what I’m trying to say is that Usagi is very lucky. She has two wonderful mamas who love her the best and would do anything for her. 

People calling Ikuko Usagi’s fake mother or not her real mother.

Taking my feelings about Queen Serenity aside, Ikuko IS and will always be Usagi’s real biological mother.

I'm not going anywhere until this is finished. Hawkeye 1x06
