PHILOSOFIA

Sailor senshi, Sara style.

Getting more and more excited for Babscon! (<●>ω<●>)✧These prints will be available at my etsy shop soon~

Ok can I have a moment to talk about Ojamajo Doremi?I know Sailor Moon is getting a lot of love lately, but I think probably one of THE BEST Magical Girl (Witch) shows out there is Ojamajo Doremi.

Talk about a gender positive show! Not only are ALL the characters well-rounded (this is includes male and female classmates, teachers, parents, everyone!), they often explore complicated topics such as body changes (boobs!), divorce, hikikomoris, having to juggle work and school and friends, what it means to be a mother, racism, non-stereotypical gender interests … the list goes on.

It is also one of the few shows out there that explore the many ways it’s ok for girls to be different. None of the characters are cliche. Though Aiko may seem like your stereotypical “tom-boy” she isn’t afraid to get sentimental; her story-lines involving her distant mother just break your heart.

Hadzuki has glasses and seems like the nerd of the show. But she’s from a well-off family and has a variety of talents including swimming and music, yet her struggle for independence from what her family wants is what makes you want to cheer for her.

A few more examples of the badass-ness of this show:

- The girls are granted Witch Powers and Status from an alternate Witch World which is run entirely by FEMALE witches. This includes royalty, soldiers, administrators, inventors, instructors, etc. There is also a male Wizard World, but it’s not the focus of the show.

- On that note, Witches reproduce via flowers (don’t ask), but are assigned to be mothers to raise new witches. This includes a few witches who are an implied couple that raise their two babies together. Also, interracial marriage between a squid and an octopus …. because … ya know. Magic.

- Many of the witches are drawn in a variety of body shapes, from squat to lanky. Don’t let the clone-effect the main characters have fool you.

- Yes, they do stereotypical girly stuff. Like make bracelets, bake, and take care of babies. But the way they handle it is extremely mature and fun. For instance, they do not sugarcoat how difficult it is to take care of a baby. It’s not all fun and games, as Momoko discovers when her negligence gets the baby sick. The girly stuff is mostly a front to their Witch shop, and the girls are merchandising to keep the shop afloat.

- Momoko, the Japanese-American transfer student has to deal with her dual-nationality, including re-learning Japanese and dealing with second-hand racism.

- The magic world makes sense, there are ways to earn your Witchhood, and magical rules. It is clearly stated that magic should never be used for selfish gain. The girls are motivated by how much they care for others and are rewarded again and again for this.

- The way they deal with death in this show is handled with maturity and care. You will need tissues for a few episodes in this series.

- There ARE SO MANY badass female role models in this show. I particularly like Seki-Sensei, who despite a few hook-ups is mostly single and fine with it. She’s a strong person who isn’t afraid to give the girls life lessons from time to time. Also she drives a motorcycle. Hot.

- There is romance in the show, but it’s mostly implied and stays at crush level. BECAUSE THEY ARE CHILDREN. (I’m giving a big squinty eye at you Shugo Chara.)

Anyway! Sorry for the rant. If anyone ever wants a quick taste of the show, I would recommend either the movies, or Ojamajo Doremi Naisho! which is the OVA.

I’m happy to finally share all of our Sailor Moon Bosozoku (aka Moon Bitches) photos.

As geeky girls who grew up watching loads of Sailor Moon, when we first saw this piece by Babs months ago, we knew that we had to do something! 
The original Babs Tarr piece: 

Michelle got an early start by throwing her Sailor Moon themed birthday party in May! Then Mandie, Michelle, and myself, also got geared up for a live drawing session over at Meltdown Comics, and finally, we were lucky enough to have our super talented friend Greg, take our photos.

you should let this video play and then look at all of the REST OF OUR PHOTOS BELOW:

Since the bikes in the original drawing added a lot of color, we wanted to incorporate that into ourstyling, keeping it fashionably geek. I also want to thank Tess Money for lending her makeup vision to this project.

Hope you guys like them! Feel free to comment/reblog/show love <3


xoxo,
Yume

HNNNNNNGGGG.
