This time it’s just a low-effort post, but I simply wanted to share this one scene where Rei, Setsuna and Hotaru appear together.

I think that's quite a rare sight.

And I can only imagine how Sailor Mars would personally interact with Pluto or Saturn in certain situations.

Why is FFXII currently the only FF game that doesn't feature the classic summons?

Would you like to see more Final Fantasy games that offer us more original and unique summoned monsters than the series' recurring summons, such as Ifrit, Shiva, Ramuh, Titan, Leviathan, Odin, Bahamut etc. ?

Would the original art style of the 2016 *Infinity Train* Pilot have worked for the 2019 TV series?

u/IllogicalDreamer72 — 18 days ago

Do you know any myths from around the world in which a goddess or (royal) woman punishes or leaves her unfaithful or abusive husband?

The myths about the Greek Olympian goddess Hera and Zeus have been frustrating me for quite some time.

Hera is so deeply in love with her unfaithful and despicable husband that she would rather blame and harm his lovers or rather, his victims, than condemn him.

I am aware that their stories reflect the misogyny of ancient Greek society, yet for some reason, the female figure Nyx was portrayed as a being whom Zeus would fear.

Even if she is angry with him or hates him, she is portrayed as someone who is powerless against her philandering predator spouse.

Hera once incited an uprising against him to overthrow him.

But the narrative did not allow her to triumph over the King of Olympus; thus, she failed spectacularly and was cruelly punished by him.

That is why I would like to look for old mythological stories in which the wife asserts herself against her bad or wicked husband and, moreover, does not forgive him.

Please recommend myths, legends or folktales that might fit my description.

Thank for reading my post.

The Fashion of the Solar System Sailor Princesses – Which Dress Suits Which Sailor Guardian Best?

Source of Scans: https://www.zerochan.net/Bishoujo+Senshi+Sailor+Moon+Eternal

I get the impression that most of these Solar Sailor Princess Dresses look kind of plain compared to these modern dresses.

But what do you think?

And could one of you please identify each of the flowers shown? (Except for Usagi & Chibiusa) Thanks!

Trope: The Female Lead uses a Smartphone in an OI or Rofan World filled with Nobility & Royal Houses.

Examples:

  • Iris: Lady with a Smartphone
  • Their Obsession Will Ruin Me
  • What Kind of Empress Is This?
  • How to Become a Lord in Another World with a Smartphone

Do you find it interesting or lame when the heroine has a cell/mobile phone as an advantage in a world resembling the Middle Ages or the Regency era?

There is another story featuring a FL who owns a smartphone, but I had completely forgotten the title; if I recall correctly, this device only appears in later chapters.

Maybe I'll find it again, if you can suggest other examples.

Cure Arcana (Shadow) - Do you like the idea or trope that "Bad Girls in Black" have to wear White or Lighter Colors to reflect their Goodness?

A comparison of Cure Arcana's two transformation sequences.

She looks better in black than in white, imo.

To be frank, I personally find Magical Girls in Black clothes very stylish or pretty.
