What's your opinion about being an actual sailor scout?

I was a Girl Scout in 6th grade! Troop 31! We never went sailing though. It would be too stressful for me to be a Sailor Senshi. I don't have enough time to fight evil.

Galaxia IS one of my favorite characters. Tiff just doesn't feel like playing any games with members.

If being a Sailor Scout means I have to speak in an unnatural voice with poorly scripted lines, then no, I wouldn't.

But seroiusly. . . I think it would be a different kind of life, not necessarily better or worse. The one thing to remember though is that the senshi were *chosen*, destined because of their past lives. I mean, if they were holding a contest (Senshi Idol?) would I sign up? No. But if a talking cat came up to me and said, "Excuse me but you have to be a senshi and here's your henshin pen, go to it," I would probably look to the good things about it. I think I would wind up going the Sailor V route, selling my name for video games, doing personal appearances at ribbon-cuttings for money, that kind of thing.

I think it would be a mistake to make me a Sailor Senshi, since being a male, I would look scary in a mini-skirt. ^^;;

I think being a Sailor Senshi would suck. You would have devote most, if not all of your time fighting evil and protecting the universe and stuff.

If my memory serves me right, the series went over 4 years (in storyline time) and had 200 eps, so you're really only fighting evil once a week on average. Most of the senshi seem to be having relatively nice lives outside the fighting.

Being Pluto would be pretty bad though.

See, I'm a male, and I would look kickass in the mini-skirt!

I wouldn't be able to handle being a Senshi. The constant fighting, the hiding it from family and friends... I mean, what if something attacked while I was on a trip with my family? How would I be able to get away from my family, fight the thing, and not have the worry that my family could be injured? Not to mention, what if something found out my identity? My family and friends would be in jeapordy for it. It's too much hassle for me.

Actually, more like twice a week. The time span from Ep.1 to Ep. 200 is only roughly 2 1/2 years.

As someone who has gone through several terrible experiences (not exactly bad enough to cause a media panic, but still not something I'd like to remember), I can safely say that sometimes I do wish I had magic powers. Mainly because it's fun thinking of ways to travel back through time and make the badness go away, a la Sam Beckett (mixed with Phoebe, Piper, Prue and Paige). Actually, I've had several ideas for characters with these sorts of abilities, although these characters can credit their inspiration to "Trouble with T-Bag" and a TV version of Cinderella that I think had Eve Arden and Matthew Broderick.

I also can safely say that reality is vastly overrated.

Watch Japanese episodes 13 and 40.

Well as childish as it sounds, I still would like to have super powers like Sailormoon and fight crime (I'd probably want Mars powers or Jupiter powers. Toast yer asses. Haha!!). Doing a small bit of good in the world where everything seems to be going wrong.

But there are wa-ay to many factors that would steer me away from this course. Many of which has been mentioned. Like for one, medical records and such. Just because you are a Sailor Soilder, doesn't mean your invounerable. Wanting to leave my loved ones out of it, plus any collateral damage I may cause in some huge battle. I would be to afaid to fall in love, and eventually loose the ablity to trust others out of fear that they would betray me. If the characters of Sailormoon weren't ficition, I'd wonder why they aren't in a padded room rocking back and forth pulling their hair out from stress and extreme paranoia. But I guess since there are other Soilders around, they know that there are some people they can trust.

Eternal life Scares me. I won't be able to handle living forever, or even aging slower than the rest of humanity. I tend to cling to people. If someone that I know dies, I'll be broken. Eventually I'll just stop caring and become cold, and becoming frozen is something that terrifies me.

As for the time traveling thing, I don't think that is something that I would want to mess with. Life is about accepting the past, gaining experience and moving forward. I'd be lying if I said I never dreamt of changing how things happened in the past, but I eventually get depressed because I know I can't.

I have. The jump from fiction to reality is too different. I wouldn't handle things the way they did. I'd scream a lot, and break down. I'd be in the padded rooms Tempest mentioned.

Rainbow · Post by **Rainbow** » Wed Mar 24, 2004 4:10 pm

This is a rather shallow reason, but I thought of another reason why I wouldn't like being a Senshi.

More specifically, one of the main ones on the show. If I could wear pants and armor like Prince Endymion and Tuxedo Mask, that would be fine, but I would NOT want to wear high heels, since I get weirded out by shoes that are even slightly off the ground in reality. I think I like being short and low to the ground, and high heels raise you up and I'd be afraid of falling. Now the skirt part isn't that bad, but I would only accept being a Senshi if I could wear sneakers instead of heels. (and some KiSS doll Senshi generators have sneakers as an option anyway)

Oh, and in case anyone is wondering, yes, I have dressed up as Sailor Mars, but I wear red flat shoes, not heels.

Just looking around the picture galleries, Sailors Moon, Chibi-moon, Mercury, and Venus (but not Sailor V!) all wear sensible shoes, with heels looking to be no more than 4 cm or so high. Of course, that doesn't necessarily make them comfortable, but other than Usagi, none are likely to trip.

Rainbow · Post by **Rainbow** » Wed Mar 24, 2004 9:29 pm

4cm is WAY too high for heels for me. I need almost no heels whatsoever on a shoe or else I won't wear it. Not to mention I don't really like the idea of fighting in dress shoes anyway.

If it was possible. I'd love to be a senshi. But i don't look good in short skirts
