Happy 1 Year Anniversary!

Wow, I can't believe it's been a year since my fan senshi website first opened. I remember sitting at a Chinese restaurant for Mother's Day when Aelloblu messaged me that she had it up! Prior to sitting in the restaurant, I think I may have seen a ladybug flying in the air.

( Different ladybug but still, I miss seeing them and hope I'll be able to eventually see them again this year. )

I'd like to thank shadowsphere21 for finding the Fan Senshi Alliance Discord server and getting me to join her there because I've met wonderful friends in the server, some who are listed below. Check out her website for her beautiful art but be warned, it's sexy. Of course, I have to thank the wonderful Aelloblu who's one of the friends I've made there and for everything she does as my website manager! Aside from helping me with the aesthetics, technical stuff, and doing art for my characters she's such inspiration in how much she goes above and beyond to help other fan senshi creators. Click the link, Aello's website has tons of resources for fan senshi creators!

Thanks to Rose and ervaurem for encouraging my Senshi no Basuke agenda! Both ladies have given me wonderful fan art of my original characters and Rose has given me ideas for some of them.

I'm also grateful to Miranini for constantly visiting my website along with Aello and being a wonderful friend and website affiliate. She's also a fellow member of the Fan Senshi Alliance. Miranini has fan senshi who live in South Korea during the Crystal Tokyo era and has worldbuilding for the canon Crystal Tokyo senshi. Also thanks to Curious-Insanity and Mau for being friends and affiliates! Curious-Insanity is the wonderful mod of the Fan Senshi Alliance server who has made fan art of some of my girls and you can find Mau there too. Check out Fortuna's Favour, a fan senshi website featuring the lucky senshi, Sailor Fortuna! Pretty Guardian Sailor Mau incorporates Egyptian mythology while expanding on the canon character Sailor Mau who was mentioned in name only and has other animal senshi with the names with Egyptian deities!

Thanks to Sailor Uranus Eternal for letting me use the fanon Aello developed for her Sailor Aethra that Jūban Junior High has a co-ed baseball team, the Jūban White Tigers.

Special thanks to Lullabyes who's such an amazing lady in the Blood+ fandom who came up with the headcanon that Chiropterans can drink blood and extract knowledge and memories which is one of the abilities that my self-insert, Sailor Styx, a Red Chiropteran Queen possesses. I've made so much bio's within the year. Even on hard days recently, I find myself working on my website because I want to make my fan senshi dreams come true!

This Facebook post I recently encountered really seems to resonate with my line of thinking. I hope before the year ends, I get closer to achieving one of my creative goals whether that's completing all my oc bio's or even getting started on writing Senshi no Basuke and Solar System Celestial Knights. We'll see how much progress I make next year and maybe I'll affiliate with more fan senshi websites down the line but I don't intend to give up on making my fan senshi dreams come true!

Kinmoku Star System Headcanons

Hello all, a while ago, I came up with some Kinmoku Star System headcanons and after reading this fanfiction set on Kinmoku, I think it's about time I release them and put them up for adoption and allow the new owner to expand on them instead of letting them exist in my head and gather dust since I already have so much Solar System characters to develop for my fanon let alone developing this star system.

Note: My headcanons lean towards the information that we are given on the Kinmoku planet / Kinmoku star system in the manga. Update: My headcanons have been adopted by the fic author herself, MagicUnbound!

It's confusing but in the manga, Princess Kakyuu and the Sailor Starlights both originate from a planet called Kinmoku in the Kinmoku star system.

Tuxedo Unmasked has stated that Sailor Kakyuu draws her power from the Kinmoku star and Curious-Insanity has headcanoned that Kakyuu is the Sailor Guardian of the sun of the Kinmoku Star System. So, in accordance with that, I headcanon that "Kakyuu" is the secondary name of the Kinmoku star which is the sun of the star system and what Princess Kakyuu and her Senshi form's name derive from. She is also the princess of the Kinmoku planet so I headcanoned that her mother had the Sailor Crystal of the Kinmoku / Kakyuu star which she inherited while her father had the Sailor Crystal of the Kinmoku planet.

The Sailor Starlights always introduce themselves as shooting stars so I headcanon that those celestial objects are where they derive their power from. Their senshi names are abbreviated forms of the names used to refer to the comets that they draw power from. "Star of War" - Star Fighter (In xianxia dramas, they often mention a "God of War"), "Star of Creation" - Star Maker, "Star of Healing" - Star Healer.

Xianxia dramas always talk about the "Three Realms" which are the human realm, the heavenly realm, and the Underworld / demonic realm. In accordance with that, the Kinmoku star system has three planets: Kinmoku - the equivalent of Earth / the human realm, Ginmoku "silver osmanthus" - the equivalent of the heavenly realm, and Mazokumoku (name can be altered by the new owner of the Kinmoku Star System headcanons as I was trying to go for the literal meaning of "devilwood" but "Akumamoku" just didn't sound right to me.) The equivalent of the demonic realm. However, it doesn't mean that there can't be Sailor Crystal holders of moons, stars, and comets in the Kinmoku star system! On that note, the male equivalent of a Sailor Starlight is a Star Knight. Kinmoku Culture (I have read part of Bride of the Water God which describes the male protagonist having to crossdress at a young age and since Naoko probably based the Sailor Starlights on the band called "Starbow" which is of unknown gender, this headcanon explains why the Sailor Starlights are comfortable with crossdressing.) From a young age, people of Kinmoku crossdress to obtain the virtue of the other sex. For instance, boys would crossdress as girls at a young age so that they would be obedient while girls would crossdress as boys to grow up strong. Since their people worship the stars, divination is a valued skill on the planet. For Sailor Crystal holders, their Sailor Crystals allow them to tap into the art of divination as they are powerful parts of the universe. Taiki aka Sailor Star Maker came from a scholar family. Seiya aka Sailor Star Fighter came from a family of warriors. Yaten aka Sailor Star Healer came from a family of physicians. Whoever messages me first to adopt these headcanons will be the new rightful owner of them. All I ask is that you give rightful credit where credit is due. 😉 Have fun developing the Kinmoku star system and expanding on these headcanons! I hope to see a fan senshi website for the Kinmoku star system and to affiliate with them one day! ⭐

Animal and Insect Fan Senshi

EDIT: Aelloblu reminded me of Genie's Sailor Red Spider and his insect senshi and so this post has been edited to reflect that. A while back, I found this post on tumblr and since there is no way for me to respond directly to the post and or the post's creator in a way that is acceptable according to tumblr roleplay etiquette, I would like to share my thoughts in regards to the post on this space of mine and highlight animal and insect senshi I know in the process. My friend made a lore revolving around Sailor Mau which incorporates Egyptian mythology and in addition to the titular feline senshi, Sailor Mau, she also has two bovine senshi, a lioness senshi, a rabbit senshi, and two canine senshi. She's an affiliate and you can check out her website here.

Genie from the Fan Senshi Alliance has Sailor Red Spider . (I know spiders aren't insects but they're still creatures?) He also has insect senshi!

Before Kaosu Studios deactivated and restored their Facebook account, they had designs for the fallen Sailor Chuu, Sailor Mermaid, Sailor Coronis, Sailor Mau. Hopefully, we'll still get to see them as the story progresses for Sailor Moon Sacrifice! The Sailor Moon musicals added the Sailor Animamates, Sailor Pewter Fox and Sailor Titanium Kerokko, and Drachea Rannak has done designs for the Sailor Guardian counterparts of the animanga Sailor Animamates and he's done them for the musical Animamates as well! I'd love to affiliate with fan senshi websites for Sailor Chuu, Sailor Mermaid, Sailor Coronis, and maybe even the Sailor Senshi counterparts of Sailor Pewter Fox and Sailor Sailor Titanium Kerokko one day! I've seen aelloblu doing art for Sailor Senshi based on the Four Auspicious Beasts. She's also made a prompt post for fan senshi ideas which has some animal inspired ideas. Maybe there'll even be Sailor Senshi based on the Eastern Zodiac. All the animal and insect senshi! Here's the lovely Sailor Mau made by the creator of the tumblr post. She has Serena Serenity from the Serena webtoon as a faceclaim aside from being a Kpop idol.
