if it's thursday, it must be jupiter

Inaugural post, and I throw in pictures. Because everyone likes pictures. Well, in this case it's only one picture, but it's still a nice one. Here I intend to ramble on about my various obsessions, opinions, passions, complaints, and such. Which is what most blogs are about, isn't it?

One of those obsessions is Sailor Moon. Another is Pixiv. Combine the two, and you get http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=7230313 and other such goodies. There's an incredible amount of art on pixiv. As with anything else, a good bit of it is junk, but in my opinion, less than might be found on, say, deviantart, which I avoid like the plague.

Sailor Jupiter? She's not even my favorite, but it's Thursday, and so it has to be Jupiter. I intend, at least for now, to pick something of the week--a song, a figurine, a picture, a sporting contest--and expound upon it at length. But, since it's late, I'll probably just cheat on that and attend to the real in depth stuff later. Well, I suppose I will point out that, as I looked through the artists, Jupiter is rather less popular than Venus. This does make a bit of sense; blondes have more fun, after all, and Sailor Venus, or Minako Aino if you prefer, is definitely a more compelling character than Makoto Kino, not least because she's batshit insane.

Still, to say that Minako is more interesting is not to shortchange Makoto. Honestly, all the girls interest me, which is why I continue to obsess over the series after so many years. Makoto has her own quirks, and perhaps in a future fanfic post I'll address this at greater length.
