Sailor Moon 30 day challenge: day eight

day 08: Dark/Wicked Lady (depending on the translation). as someone with anxiety, who's also lived through emotional abuse, a character that felt unloved and neglected, who was taken advantage of and turned against the people she felt didn't love her really affected me a lot. the hardest-hitting part to me was that the love of her (loving, but absent) parents couldn't break through the brainwashing. it was platonic love, from her best friend, the one who'd always had time for her, that saved her. in the end, she was saved, she achieved the thing she'd been trying to accomplish for years, but that meant nothing without her friend there by her side.
