Something I wrote awhile back. Yes, it is snarky. Do not read if such things offend you. wink

And if you do read it, don't complain about it being too harsh or snarky, because I did warn you. wink


Every sailor senshi ever shown in the series has a sailor collar on her costume. No exceptions.

Every sailor senshi ever shown also had a choker. No exceptions.

Every non-Sol senshi ever shown in the series also has a sailor collar and choker, though the rest of their costumes look nothing like a schoolgirl's uniform. No exceptions.

Adding ribbons, frills, and extra skirt layers to the sol senshi's uniform does not make it particularly original or unique. It does make it tacky, though.

Wings usually just look tacky and pretentious.

Ditto for cutting the midriff off the Sol fuku.

Mamoru carries the Earth crystal. Therefore, Sailor Earth cannot be born during Mamoru's lifetime. It ain't exactly rocket science.

Naoko Takeuchi explicitly said only women can become sailor senshi. No exceptions. Considering that every attempt to design a male sailor senshi so far has come out looking incredibly stupid, this probably isn't a big loss.

Sailor Sun is overdone. Catchy, isn't it?

Naoko Takeuchi already created a Sailor Universe - she's called Sailor Cosmos.

Odango, or some variation on odango, are also overdone.

Before giving into the temptation to create a Sailor Star, remember that there are at least 100 billion stars in our galaxy, a decent number of which actually have individual names. At least have the decency to name your senshi after an individual star, even if you make that name up.

The above applies to anyone thinking of making a Sailor Comet.

The sun is a star. Many stars are suns. Think about it for a minute.

There's more to mythology than the Egyptian, Greco-Roman, and Japanese pantheons.

Bad guys have names based off of crystals and minerals. Sailor Senshi are typically named after their planets. If your sailor senshi is named Sailor Amethyst, you'd better have a darn good explanation.

Sailor Galaxia slaughtered each and every sailor senshi except for the Sol senshi, Princess Kakyuu, the Sailor Starlights, and those that joined her. Better figure out how that fits into your extrasolar senshi's background.
