🌙💕Moon Cosmic Power, Makeup!💕🌙
Hydrangeas are beautiful, elegant flowers, befitting the queen of the moon. But the flower’s symbolism, just like the fandom’s feelings towards Queen Serenity, aren’t always positive…
I find Queen Serenity to be an interesting character across the many medium that she has appeared in. Many people see her as a strong, wise, and loving mother who sealed away Nehelenia to protect her daughter, then years later sacrificed her life so that her child, her court, and Endymion could be reborn. Yet, she is also the one who forbid Pluto from ever leaving her post, and have the Inner Senshi take on the role of soldiers for her daughter when they’re still only children. As such, some fans adore her, while others dislike her for her perceived cold-heartedness.
The hydrangea shares a similar trait of having both positive and negative associations. In Japan (and more commonly in modern times) they symbolize apology, heartfelt emotions, wish for a deeper understanding, grace, rebirth, and love, depending on the flower’s color. But in Victorian times, due to the showy blossoms producing few seeds, hydrangeas were a symbol of frigidity, vanity, and singlehood. By all account Queen Serenity was a single mother, who only had a single child, thus making hydrangea a fitting flower for this beautiful but complex moon queen.

My pieces for "Only a Memory Away"
sailor moon!! 🌙🐰
So here is my first time attempting to draw Mercury…I messed her up big time because the marker I was using for her skin shade began to overflow and a noise while lining made me go off direction so her arm line is thicker than I would like it to be 😓Despite this, I do like how the shading came out so I figure I’d just put her up here 😩. I will probably redo her at some point but it still isn’t too bad…

Croatian Sailor Senshi as Ledo Ice Cream part 7!
Kornet also used to be a favorite of mine until they changed it?? They either changed the recipe or the way it's preserved in stores because all Kornets I've had in recent years have been incredibly soggy and weird.
The chocolate at the bottom of them still remains the best part tho!
