the best is yet to come

Remember that time the outer senshi went to Sleep No More?

Do you ever think about Pluto playing back file footage of Queen Serenity telling her about the importance of not interfering with the timeline, Leia-style, for about a thousand years?

So her strapless bodycon dress is now a sleeveless leotard with a wrap skirt over it, and lil’ warmup ballet boots because omg they are perfect. Plus I like the idea of a silly transformation where her ballet shoes appear and then the boots magically form over them, like how the senshi get nail polish but wear gloves. Other changes include a thinner neck ribbon and her hair magically floating up into her buns, because who wants hair in their mouth while dancing or fighting?

They’re a little goofy and puffy but still super cute and it wouldn’t be hard at all to swap the black for darker blue or whatever, to make it more cohesive.

(The five toe shoes nobody asked for but you know Purin would love them.)

Full warm-up gear inspired Mint? Powers up into elegant bird on pointe?

Also Berry is specifically an albino bun because the one she was originally assigned is actually black-furred.

Harold, they’re mew mews.

There’s basically no profit in this for me, but I want to make enamel pins if the stickers do at all well. Please reblobble, respond, and whatever else the kids are doing these days. Thanks!

I got a new moleskine and figured that it’d be cute to back up the basic “if found” page with something more personal. Myself, in my new $10 dress, and Fin.

A 6″ x 6″ illustration I gave to Seanan McGuire at her signing here in New York; for process photos and entirely too much rambling about my feels, companion post here.

Sometimes I think about how that extra year of fighting alone might have affected Minako.
