Hello! I am Tumblr user fortythousandth, most commonly referred to as FT, and I really enjoy screaming about Sailor Moon and, increasingly, Steven Universe in my free time. 24, he/him/his, living in the midwestern United States with my fiancee panegyrical, our ridiculous dog, and our eternally salty cat. You're probably here for Haruka/Michiru fanfiction. Pretty much everything I write can be found under the My Writing tag and in my Fanfiction Masterpost in the toolbar below. Fair warning: it's about 70% NSFW. Most of my long drawn out thoughts go under my Analysis tag. Please never hesitate to say hello, and welcome to my little corner of the internet!

Really now. Who were the three voters who didn't put Ken Griffey Jr. on their Hall of Fame ballot (437 out of 440 votes for a 99.3%, now the highest percentage of all time). Love Junior. No doubt he was going in. This is fantastic.

I am SO PLEASED. We FINALLY got someone going in with the Mariners hat. Only took us 35+ years, ahaha. Junior was my first ever favorite player and I’m so happy.

(On a related note, I’m still holding out hope Edgar gets in one day although the likelihood is fairly low.)

(On another related note: HOW ABOUT THOSE SEAHAWKS? I still don’t know what the hell happened there but a win is a win!)

Fic: Acceleration, Haruka x Michiru, ~2250 words, Rated G

Phew. It’s been a while, huh? Happy belated holidays to all!

My Sparklee was the ever-talented @worldsubmerge! I chose the prompt of a Harumichi first date, with a couple of tweaks. In canon, I don’t necessarily see those two having what’s typically known as a first date, so I strove in this for one of the first moments of actual intimacy between these two. Jenn, I hope you enjoy!

It's been three weeks, four days, and approximately two hours since erstwhile racing prodigy Haruka Tenoh had picked up the henshin wand, flinched like the sky was about to fall, and finally turned to Sailor Neptune, murmuring, "Now what?"

Now what, indeed?

This is for http://fortythousandth.tumblr.com/ for the “sparkle sparkle it’s the fucking holidays ahahah.”

I’m sorry this took so long. I’ve been feeling up and down a lot this month and I didn’t mean to wait so close to the 25th to have this done.

OH MAN, I’m so sad I’ve been on hiatus these past few weeks and only just saw this now.

This is EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED! I’ve been craving a good comic superhero!AU forEVER and this delivers on so many fronts!

The setting, the character names, the plots--all of this is perfect. It really feels like I’m reading a comic book as I read this. The care and detail put in is palpable. I don’t want to give away any plot twists because you should instantly go read this, but the conceit of the whole thing and the “twist” is genius and I could so easily see this really happening. Haruka especially is a star in this.

Thank you so much again, this is wonderful!

>You Should Watch the Midnight Channel, Sailor Moon

OKAY HI SO in the recent Goggles backlog that keyofjetwolf posted, someone had drawn Minako on the Midnight Channel (which is from the video game Persona 4, also known as my one of my One True Loves, for those who are unfamiliar). So I’m sitting here like “Minako on the Midnight Channel, my girls on the Midnight Channel, ooooohhhhh my god” because I need to talk about that and their Persona-universe Shadow Selves immediately. SO HEY, HERE WE GO. …under the cut because this is about to get long.

In honour of Kino Makoto's birthday, can you post some favourite Mako moments, head canons, even just random predictions for pgsm involving Sailor Jupiter or something of that nature? You like procrastinating right?

WE’LL JUST IGNORE HOW LONG IT’S BEEN SINCE I POSTED THE FANDOM MEME THAT THESE WERE GLEANED FROM AND GET DOWN TO IT.

The N that you see up there so much was “Name three things you wish you saw more or in your main fandom.” APPARENTLY a lot of you really wanted my input on this sort of thing, so instead of just doing three, I DID THREE FOR EACH OF YOU BECAUSE I EVIDENTLY HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS HERE.

Under the cut are twelve things I would like to see more of in Sailor Moon fanfiction, a category which I narrowed down because otherwise I would never stop talking.

I’d like to begin, however, by saying the number one thing that I look for in every single fic I read—which automatically, of course, becomes something I always want to see more often. This is, in my opinion, the thing that separates great authors from people who just borrow others’ characters, the the thing that can take even the most silly and inane plot and elevate it into something truly transcendent. That thing is having good intentions toward your characters.

I don’t mean that you have to have happy endings and lots of warm fuzzies and sunshine in your work—lord knows that several of my most beloved faves in this fandom regularly get their jollies by tormenting characters. I also want to point out that this doesn’t mean that you need to have perfect characterization, or amazing plots, or completely polished prose. But if you care about your characters, people can always tell. I guarantee it. And further, if you care about your characters, you’re going to want to do right by them. By all means, push them out of their comfort zones, throw them in weird situations, make their lives a living hell if you want—but stay true to those characters in the process. Everybody sees characters in slightly different ways, and one of the nice things about this fandom is how there’s plenty of room (and canons) on which to base your ideas. But there’s a difference between lovingly gleaning information from canon and extrapolating, and trying to suit some other agenda (by that, I’m thinking really egregious things like Michiru dumping Haruka to go be with a man, and stuff like that). And again—characterization doesn’t have to be completely perfect (what is perfect characterization anyway?), and you don’t have to have seen every single episode of the anime and read all of the manga, and your headcanons and characterizations are never going to completely align with mine and vice versa because that’s just the breadth of material we have to work with, which is a good thing. But when you come at writing with goodwill and enthusiasm and trust in your characters, that ALWAYS adds that special shine to your work that can’t be replicated by anyone else besides you, and whenever I see a writer who’s found that sweet spot of their own voice and their own style combined with their own special blend of characterization—that’s an amazing and unique moment, every time.

HEY for my Harumichi Sparkle Sparkler (welcome and you are amazing!!), this is the post I promised I’d reblog about things I especially like to see in Sailor Moon fanfiction!

SPARKLE SPARKLE IT’S THE FUCKING HOLIDAYS AGAIN

Okay, so the response was pretty positive to the idea of doing yet another SPARKLE SPARKLE IT’S THE FUCKING HOLIDAYS GIFT EXCHANGE

For those of you who haven’t joined in before, this is a gift exchange between anyone on tumblr who is into Harumichi. You don’t have to follow me, like me, don’t have to have interacted with any of us, etc. All you need to do is have the desire to write or draw to a Harumichi-based prompt, and want receive same!

How it works: You will receive a fic or piece of art from someone for the holidays, based on one of three prompts that you submit. It can be as simple as “Haruka and Michiru go to Monster Trucks”. It’s great for you, because you get to see something you’ve always wanted without doing it yourself. It’s great for them because they can be reasonably sure you’ll be DELIGHTED with your gift.

How to join:

  • Submit to me the below form, in a submission please, by November 26th
  • ONE of the prompts can be something other than Harumichi: BroTP, Reinako, Happy Outers Family. That way, if you get drawn for someone who also enjoys the same thing, you can go down that road too.
  • I will randomly draw your partner and submit their form to you November 28th. 
  • Publish your work on your blog with an @ and an ask to your person, and an ask to me, by January 10th.
  • Please only enter if you reasonably believe you can fulfill the request, though I will pinch hit. Please tell me as soon as possible if you can no longer participate.
  • HAVE LOADS OF FUN WITH THIS
  • Oh, and it’s MEANT TO BE A SURPRISE so don’t tell your sparklee that you have their name! If you have a question for them, just ask me! 

Tumblr name: I feel like if you don’t know the answer to this, I can’t help you.

My three prompts are: enter your three fic or art ideas here.

I particularly love: Stuff that just plucks your guitar string. No guarantees, but this will give your person some guidance how to please you! That’s all everyone really wants.

I do not really enjoy: Now, don’t be rude here. But if there’s something you don’t like, I’m sure your person would like to know that too!

If you have any questions feel free to ask me!

yeah sure put "whoopsie-daisy" on any one of the many times Usagi has collapsed and died, yeah sure put "whoopsie-daisy" on all the scenes ALL THE SCENES where the girls have sacrificed themselves for Usagi. PUT "WHOOPSIE-DAISY" ON LAST STARS EPISODE SCENE WHERE CROW GOT SUCKED INTO A FUCKING BLACK HOLE, JET.

I have to stop there else it’ll be all day. But my conclusion is that there’s nothing you cannot make both hilarious and awful by adding “Whoopsie-daisy!”
