Oh hell yes <3 I think they're adorable. Though seeing how she's supposed to be canon with Helios I KIND of got pissy at them for pulling this off.

Yeah. :hmm: But Sailor Moon is over. Nothing is set in stone except Usagi and Mamoru, really.

Actually, not even that is set in stone. The anime gave us Seiya/Usagi, showing that Usagi is MOSTLY with Mamoru because he's still there. If a TRUE crisis ever was to come around, and a good enough man showed up - or woman as the series is known for its canon AND implied lesbian relationships (and let's face it Seiya/Usagi can be whichever you want), she might not wait up.
Then you have Pluto's infatuation with Endymion and the conspiracy theories about where Chibiusa's red eyes came from.

So no, not even Usagi/Mamoru's set in stone xD;
I just wish that if they went about to base something like Helios/Chibiusa, that they wouldn't go about breaking it so bluntly with Peruru without a good reason.
Usagi/Seiya had a good reason and it spanned over an entire season. Chibiusa/Peruru was like "Helios who?" Rather a short period of time after they parted. So it really makes Chibiusa look bad.

(sorry to butt in.. but just had to pipe up that chibi usa is supposed to resemble a albino rabbit.. it was a pun by Naoko ^^; red eyes, pink hair.. bunny ear odango, get it? all fits together :aww: sorry again :P)

The reason remains to be explained within the plot, regardless of Naoko's motivation behind it. :P

I guess if you look at it that way, anything's fair game. It's better that way. It makes the fandom more fun. :aww:

I never saw it as Chibiusa looking bad. I saw it more as Chibiusa in character. Sure she spent time with Helios, but he was the one to make pretty much every move in the relationship. After she said something along the lines of "girls should find their prince on their own," I think it was kind of out of character for her just to wait around for Helios. She really didn't wait around for Peruru. Just my take on things though.

It just makes her that much more of a player, in my book, not waiting for either of them. But when all is said and done, despite being almost a millenia old, Chibiusa's still a kid. I'd have preferred it if they just spared us the romantic aspect of her story altogether xD
AiNoIro's avatar
Yeah, I think I could get behind that point of view. Again, that's another reason I ship Chibiusa and Peruru, though. Chibiusa/Helios isn't the kind of relationship that's really healthy for a kid.

Iono. A part of her relationship with Helios was supposedly that she needed to grow up, but still keep her Beautiful Dream :v
So iono xD;

Hm. Well I think her relationship with Peruru was similar in that way. Badianu was capturing children under the guise of bringing them to a land where they would never have to grow up. Peruru, though a child himself, rejected these views and fought against his master, understanding that it is natural to grow up and lose some of your innocence, but it should be done alongside the people you love. That's the major theme in the Super S Movie. Meeting Chibiusa (and possibly feeling love for the first time hiself) obviously influenced his change of heart. Though she had been with Helios, Chibiusa wasn't grown. Helios was mature, but Chibiusa remained a child. (Only children fell under Badianu's spell.) In the end, Peruru's promise to watch over children as they grew up and began to lose their innocence (sugar energy) as opposed to capturing their dreams for Badianu like he had been forced to do showed that he was maturing greatly, and his promise to always be in Chibiusa's dreams (and that she would always be in his) suggests that the two would grow up together and overcome trials as a pair. With Helios, Chibiusa would struggle to grow up alone. Sure, Helios would be there for her to give her advice and guide her, but that makes him a teacher to her, and the understanding between them isn't mutual. A relationship in which both parties are both connecting on a personal level and contributing equally is much stronger. And since they would both be growing up, the depth of their romantic relationship changing appropriately with age (instead of Chibiusa/Helios's dumping romance on a child,) it's a balanced and healthy relationship. The kind revered in the Sailor Moon world, but achieved by no other couple.

...Wow, that's a lot of text. Sorry to drop all of that info on you. ^^;
