I watch her from across the room

hoping to be noticed

yet never seen

she glances my way

I can't meet her gaze no matter how much I want to

I am nobody

she is everything

how could I begin to be worthy of her acknowledgement

she shines like all the stars in the sky

I am like the darkest storm cloud

she gets up and leaves her table

collecting her things as she stands

the way she walks is effortless

like she's gliding across the floor

unlike my heavy steps that could be heard a mile away

as she passes me I smell cinnamon

it's warm and comforting

I've been watching her so long that my coffee has gone cold

weeks pass and she doesn't return to the cafe

a month later I see her again

sitting across from me at that same cafe

she's with another girl

they're holding hands

they look happy

her laughter is musical

I look away

The Infinity Train only picks people up when they’re running away from their problems. Tulip of course said that both she and Amelia were running away from their emotions and real life struggles, but it’s true of the other passengers as well. Jesse was running away from confronting his friends, and apologizing to his brother. He was dodging any kind of confrontation, or anger/disappointment from others in general. Grace was willing to accept her punishment for stealing, but didn’t want to face her parents, or their false expectations of her. Grace, I think, was running away from the truth of who she was. I don’t know what Simon was running from, but when we see him at his youngest in the show, he’s running away from a ghom (which is what killed him, in the end. It catches up to you, huh?). Min was running from what he really wanted in life, and the fear of disappointing his parents. Ryan was running from the possibility that his best friend might not want to run away with him. They were both running from the possibility that their lives were going in different directions.

The only protagonist who persistently fought back was Lake, and they were only on the train because of Tulip. Their assertiveness and determination took them all the way to the tape car, which no passenger is supposed to know about or find. By being their persistent self, Lake literally found a loophole that almost broke the train, and inspired Jesse (an enormous pushover) to break some rules to help them! Literally, groundbreaking behavior.

Anonymous asked:

Would you say that unlike the other Inners who already experienced tragedy in their lives before meeting Usagi, and finding out their destiny gave them a reason to live, Minako's tragedy WAS in fact, finding out about that destiny and regaining those memories of her past life? I mean if you think about it, unlike the other Inners, Minako had a relatively stable and happy home life. She was popular in school, was happy, energetic and carefree etc.

luna-whiskers answered:

There is a lot of truth to that. Ami, Rei, and Makoto were all so lonely and isolated by their respective circumstances. Becoming senshi was a relief, a confirmation of their abilities that previously just marked them as strange, and it gave them an instant bond with a group of friends.

But Minako wasn’t really an outsider before. People did find her weird, but she was weird in a fun way. She had friends and a family who, while she did not always get along with them, seemed loving.

Becoming Sailor V, and later Venus, meant taking on heavy responsibilities. And critically, it meant taking on those responsibilities alone. Minako didn’t get a group of new friends in the senshi package, not until a full year later. She got Artemis, which will mean the world eventually, but their early relationship was filled with strife. 

In a lot of ways, though, that mirrors Usagi’s experience with becoming a senshi too. She was happy as Usagi. She never really wanted to fight. For both Usagi and Minako, learning of their destinies was an unpleasant disruption, even if it ultimately brought them both good things in the end.
