Mamoru stans the inner senshi’s friendship: a photoset
he probably gets really upset on the rare occasion Usagi and her friends fight for real like maybe he cries and frantically runs around trying to get them back together
in fact that’s partial canon
remember that episode where Ami was going to Germany but they had to go fight a monster so the Senshi couldn’t see her off
Guess who swoops out of fucking nowhere to take care of the problem
he grabs that shit right out of her hands before she can finish the sentence
he’s supposed to be *avoiding Usagi* because he’s *broken up with her for her safety* so what the hell is he even doing here
nope if the beautiful friendship these girls share is in distress he just hones in on that like a bat or some shit and appears like “GUYS GUYS NO PLEASE GET BACK TOGETHER I LOVE YOU GUYS um it’s not like i like you or anything Usagi please don’t get the wrong idea PLEASE YOU GUYS YOUR FRIENDSHIP IS THE FUCKING SUMMIT OF MAGNIFICENCE I CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT IT”
so he and Chibiusa passive agressively convince Ami not to move away and are SO HAPPY
VICTORY FOR THE FRIENDSHIP POLICE MISSION SUCCESSFUL
Mamoru dissing the friendship was actually employed proof he was NO LONGER MAMORU but instead some DAGNASTY EVIL GUY that first time he was brainwashed
are you kidding Minako he’s throwing roses he’s making dramatic speeches he’s dressed for the prom how the fuck is he diff-
HOLY SHIT YOU’RE RIGHT WE SHOULDN’T HAVE DOUBTED YOU MINAKO THE TUXEDO MASK WE KNOW WOULD GIVE UP ROSES BEFORE SAYING SUCH BLASPHEMY THIS IS NOT THE MAN WHO WON THE #1 SENSHI FRIENDSHIP FAN AWARDS COME BACK TO US SWEET PRINCE.
I had to stop right in the middle of a reply string to reblog this IMMEDIATELY because it is fantastic and ONE-HUNDRED PERCENT TRUE.
Bless you and all your descendants for this post.
The girls’ friendship is precious nectar to Mamoru. He doesn’t really have any close friendships himself (except his bromance with Motoki) so he’s all “NO YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND I NEED YOU TO NEED EACH OTHER PLEASE ALL I HAVE TO LIVE FOR IS ROSES, USAKO, AND YOUR ~FRIENDSHIP~ PLEASE GOD IT’S MAGNIFICENT”
He is the biggest socially inept dweeb and that makes him the most fabulous man to have ever lived.
Out of this photoset, I still say Rei is the best, but this time Jupiter comes in 2nd over Mina. I just don’t like Mina’s pose. Not…. playful enough, for her.
