Sailor Moon:

so a few things

So, a lot of things people seem to misinterpret in Sailor Moon is the whole Usagi/Chibiusa/Mamoru triangle thing

Now we’re getting into the jealousy territory.

Right, so as I said, Usagi and Mamoru’s relationship is barely off the ground,

Also recall how much stress Usagi is under.

Things get hot and heavy as Mamoru assures Usagi he only wants her

And basically this is the realization that just hit Usagi

See, here Usagi admits she knows she’s being irrational and she understands that Mamoru would feel protective of his child

And so we have Chibusa go over her hardships.

Chibiusa is majorly insecure that she’ll never be able to live up to her mother

Dwayne McDuffie

Our condolences to his family, friends, colleagues, and the many, many other people whose lives he touched in different ways. It's difficult to write anything that can sum up the impact that Dwayne McDuffie had, and how much he'll be missed. I think it's safe to say that the links I've collected below are only a small sample of the outpouring of shock and sadness at his death, and remembrance of his work and life.

In searching for links, I came across a quote from McDuffie which I particularly like:

"Comics themselves aren’t essential. That said, it’s important for fiction to reflect the world we all live in. And while all of us are comfortable identifying with characters of other races, it’s equally important that people to see heroic images of themselves in comics and other media. It creates a powerful sense of validation." - Dwayne McDuffie (via)

If the 17 previous multi-topic posts didn't give us away, I think it's safe to say that When Fangirls Attack is back in action. Apparently when life gets in the way of blogging, the Internet doesn't slow down, so we did, um, a lot of catching up. (Next week on Hoarders: Link-Blogging Edition...)

Big thanks my fellow Fangirl Bookwormwithanattitude, Laurel, and Thewherefores for helping code the preceding backlog of links, and to Ragnell for helping me fix up that last post.

Speaking of former WFA bloggers, Ragnell and Kalinara have started up their own brand new women-in-comics themed link-blog, Dispatches From The Fridge, as a sort of weekend supplement, so you'd best add that to your blogrolls.

As always, if you have relevant links to share, comments, questions, etc, you may send them to < womenincomics[at]gmail[dot]com >.

Happy Holidays and all that jazz.
