Serena is just the perfect fucking girl power idol

• She is girly and goofy and giggly
• She gets bad grades and loves shopping and video games and eating and taking naps and boys
• She’s a crybaby loser who’s scared of everything and never takes anything seriously
• And the whole show is her learning to find strength within herself and discovering that she’s capable of more than she could have ever imagined.
• And she’s balanced out by these kick-ass friends who support her and love her and contradict her and who are 1000% ready to smack her around when she needs it.
• We talk a lot in fandom about female representation and the false perfection of female characters who reject stereotypical “girliness” and who are tough and independent and always strong. And we recognize that those characters are important and valuable and raise the bar for female archetypes. But that characterization is restrictive and fails to allow for women to be both ultra girly AND tough, total limp noodles AND capable of rising to meet a challenge.
• And Sailor Moon has other female characters who are just as complexly designed as Serena but who are very different women — Amy is reserved and super smart, Rei is temperamental and aggressive, Lita is tough and strong and independent but capable of being soft and sensitive. 
• These characters are just so complex and wonderful and this show just GUSHES girl power and it makes me all mooshy. 

In the first two minutes of the first episode of Sailor Moon:

• I discover that yes I do still know all the words to the Sailor Moon theme song
• Queen Beryl intends to conquer first the moon, then the universe
• which strikes me as a little ambitious
• And Queen Serenity rests the fate of her moon kingdom in the paws of two talking cats

Would you guys be upset if I loveblogged liveblogged every episode of Sailor Moon

because I’m feeling an urge

Benedict Cumberbatch ABC Book!

Next

—————————————————————————————-

I’ve really wanted to do this for awhile, so after Fanime I suddenly decided I needed to sit down and do it. So it took me about three weeks, but I finished it.

It’s literally an alphabet book, although I had to get creative with some of the letters lol. I drew him so many times I kind of forgot how to draw him at some points haha so some of these look really weird @-@

I’ve already sent it to print so hopefully this book will be available at AX! It’ll also be a pretty short run book, I don’t want to make a lot or reprint it. I’ll post all the pages pretty rapidly, so it will all be available for free online eventually :))

The Book Thief

I would say that I should read this book again but then again the first time I read it my eyes almost sealed shut from all of the crying so maybe not.
