Can I just! I've actually thought about a Sailor Moon AU since Winter and I gotta say, I wanted it to be that way around too BUT if we say Wangji is Tuxedo Mask who conveniently shows up out of nowhere and lovingly stares at Sailor Moon while she's dying and Wei Ying is Moon, we can have NHS as Venus because the two are canonically disaster friends who don't study. Wen Qing is Mars for me, NMJ may be Jupiter (or Pluto). Ning is probably Saturn, cute but deadly and died once but came back.
Look friend, this sailor moon au is a playground open for all!! it can hold ALL the versions of sailor moon aus.
Iām gonna confess that youāre putting much more thought into this than i ever have. You want to match up characterizations? You want to stick close to canon? ASTOUNDING!! I FULLY SUPPORT YOUR ENDEAVOR!!! However, speaking for myself here, i have not actually watched sailor moon since i was ten years old (which...like...itās been a while since i was ten lol) so i have ZERO KNOWLEDGE of characterization or, like, the general plot. I only remember the Aesthetic. and to be 100% upfront with you, my reasons for this au are COMPLETELY SHALLOW. Literally i came up with it bc i wanted lwj in a skimpy sailor scout skirt. Like, thatās it. Thatās the reason. XD XD XD
(okay, also, i guess i thought itād be funny for him to do the magical girl transformation full of dazzling sparkles and upbeat music all while sporting a completely flat expression, BUT MOSTLY I WANTED LWJ IN A SKIRT. LET LWJ WEAR SKIRTS AND BE PRETTY AND GET SWEPT OFF HIS FEET BY WWX!!! HE DESERVES IT!!!!!)
I do, however, LOVE the idea of wen qing as sailor mars!! Itās great!! It fits her fiery personality perfectly!! Iām pretty stuck on jc being sailor jupiter tho bc LIGHTNING, but iām assuming sailor jupiter is not as grumpy as jc (bc who is, really?) so I can understand why youād want someone else as jupiter. I never thought to include nmj as a sailor scout, but let me tell you HOW MUCH I LOVE THE IDEA. also, I did NOT know that sailor saturn died at any point and came back, but since thatās the case, youāre ABSOLUTELY CORRECT that wen ning works as sailor saturn!!
Now, then, iād like to make the argument that lwj and jzx work as sailor moon/sailor venus disaster friends. HEAR ME OUT, I SWEAR ITāLL MAKE SENSE (hopefully). Lwj and Jzx may not be conventional disasters like wwx and nhs are, but I posit that theyāre Disasters in Rich Boy ways. Theyāre respectable! Theyāre raised to maintain appearances!! But theyāre ALSO ridden with self-doubt and anxiety!!! So when they have a Disaster moment, they donāt have meltdowns like peasants. No sir, theyāre far too dignified for that.
Instead, jzx gets EXTRA STUCK UP AND SNOOTY whenever he experiences complicated emotions. For example, omg jyl just smiled at me what should i do IāLL POINT OUT HOW RICH I AM AND LOOK DOWN AT HER, FRANKLY, MEDIOCRE CLOTHING. (to which *I* personally respond with, shut up jzx, jyl is a GODDESS AND MAKES ANYTHING SHE WEARS LOOK HEAVENLY).
as for lwj, his default is to go completely blank-faced and stare unblinkingly at whatever is making him experience awkward feelings. mostly this happens whenever wwx is anywhere remotely close to him. wwx looks at him and says hi and lwjās brain goes OMG, WWX IS SO HANDSOME AND CHARMING AND HAS SUCH A NICE VOICE AND PRETTY EYES OH GOD AND SUCH KISSABLE LIPS while his face stays :| and doesnāt ever actually respond to wwxās greetings.
jzx and lwj commiserate over their shared ineptitude. like, jzx just kind of...leans his face against the wall after jyl leaves and hates himself while lwj stands next to him and judges him for it. he doesnāt say a word out loud, but jzx says āshut up!ā anyway bc lwj is thinking VERY LOUDLY about how much jzx screwed up. āyouāre not any better!!ā heād say and lwj would respond, āi have never made wwx cry.ā and jzx would just groan and kinda die a little inside.
and whenever lwj experiences the blue screen of death bc wwx accidentally makes eye contact with him or whatever, jzx laughs under his breath. lwj blushes and the tension in his shoulders ratchets up to 11 but he still levels jzx with a glare that jzx has unfortunately grown immune to. jzx says, āat least iāve spoken to jyl. i havenāt heard you say a single word to wwx this entire school year.ā
....and this reply has gotten away from me so iām gonna finish it up now lol. basically what iām saying is that YES nhs and wwx are disasters and therefore work as moon/venus (presumably. again, i donāt actually remember characterizations lol) BUT jzx and lwj are ALSO disasters of a different flavor and we should DEFINITELY exploit that even out of the context of sailor moon XD XD XD
