Hi everyone!!

I'm so excited to be joining such a vibrant and upbeat Sailor Moon community! I found out about GC from some campaigning over Twitter. I'm so grateful you made the effort! Also, let me say ”The Galaxy Cauldron" is such a perfect name for a place like this that it makes me geek out just for that XD. Can't wait to geek out over all the other Sailor Moon topics with everybody here! I have been isolated for too long   .(And these amazing Princess Naomi emotes...! Ugh!! So good!!)

Okay so now that I've offloaded all my squees, here's a bit about me:

• My favourite Senshi is Sailor Venus (especially the manga version). Although I have definitely called upon just about every one of the others for inspiration in my life. (I can't be the only one imagining myself as Ami while studying for exams!) Lately, my life looks a lot more like Mako-chan’s - less karaoke nights and a lot more cooking and cleaning lol. Still, V will always be #1 in my heart!
  
  
• I put on the 90s anime bgm and singles on pretty much a daily basis (and sometimes PGSM and English version music too). Some tracks are not even that great, objectively speaking but I’ve listened to them so much over the years, I can't help but love them! I'm a big fan of the Crystal music too. Gotta buy some CDs and listen more…
  
  
• My favourite arc is probably the Makaiju arc of the 90s anime. Though overall, I love the manga the most. Takeuchi-san's art is so beautiful.
  
  
• I avoided watching PGSM for years thinking it would be hokey but ended up loving its original take on the story.
  
  
• I have only watched a few musicals so far. Again, avoided for a long time for silly reasons such as: “There's a song called Salad Time? That sounds dumb.” Now my goal is to finally watch all of them in the next few years. So far, I like Anza the best as Moon but I prefer the songs from the newest runs. To me, the old ones sound like they were composed for violin instead of voice!
  
  
• I cosplayed quite a bit before getting braces… which I have had now for almost 7 years. (They said it would only take 2!! ) I am so longing to get back into that hobby!
  
  
• I’m a first-gen member of a Sailor Moon song cover group called Tsuki no Uta. (You can find us on YouTube… Wasn't really sure about linking since I guess this is an ad technically ^^;..) Our cover of Hereafter is what made me watch my first Seramyu! (That scene made me cry, too.) Our mixes have gotten much better as we grew and learned together which makes me really happy. We're on hiatus atm though.
  
  
• I really enjoy learning new and revisiting old info about the Sailor Moon universe. I participate on wikimoon when I can for that reason. Writing there really gets you down into all the little details!
  
  
• I used to participate on an LJ landcomm devoted to Sailor Moon. It's still active I think.
  
  
• I am a merch collector but have really slowed down with it since I stopped working outside the home. It's been tough watching the flood of stuff coming out and just pass me by…
  
  
• I’ve never done forum-based RPing. Kind of intimidated by it tbh!
  
  
• I have an 11-month old little girl. She is the center of my world right now since she's still so young~. I also have a dog, though I like cats better haha.
  
  
• I love working out! I've been using my baby as a weight haha. I also play Ultimate Frisbee, which my husband got me into when we first started dating, almost 10 years ago.
  
  
• My husband is a non-fandom person so sometimes it can be lonely having such an obsession for Sailor Moon. I love him so much though.
  
  
• The only other fandom that I pay any attention to is Ace Attorney but it's a pretty far second place lol. I love video games in general but haven't played much since pregnancy.
  
  
• In the past, I’ve also gone by the nickname “lemon-sama” because I drew some cute fruit characters for my friends and I was the lemon ^^. My real name is Sarah. :Bunnywink:
  

That's a pretty good long overview, I think! Can't wait to get to know you guys too! (Omg all 1819 of you - hoooowee!) As a final note, I am most often using my phone instead of the computer these days because of my daughter. (Always on the move, that one!) Sadly that means I won't be doing any graphics work for awhile but I hope to participate as much as I can, otherwise!

...and hopefully I won't fat-finger anything too badly on my phone 

Alright… on to Step 2 of the Newbie Packet lol!

Welcome to GC, Diagnosed!! You seem pretty well-versed in the SM canons! I would recommend checking out our RP section and some of the clubs~!

This is SO COOL! I definitely want to see some of your stuff posted on the forum. I think it should be fine to post some vids!

I'm the Member Relations Director on GC, so if you need any help navigating around the forums you can always come to me. We also have this great mentor program that will you guide you through the forums. Enjoy and welcome!

Welcome to the Galaxy Cauldron, lemon-sama Sarah! 

I've had braces before, too! They said it'd only take 2-ish years but I ended up having them on all throughout high school! qq It made me very self-conscious about cosplaying as well to the point I didn't cosplay at all at Katsucon one year LOL 

However I did take a peek at your cosplay.com! Your V-chan is sooooooooooooooo cute!! Did you make your costume!? We do have an Arts/Graphics & Cosplayers Guild here, if you'd like to join it! We discuss a lot of different cosplay related stuff, share tutorials, and other things! You might like it :3c 

Also, the roleplay section here is very friendly and easy to get into! If you ever feel like getting into role-playing here, definitely check it out! There's many different types of roleplays to jump into~

Welcome to the forum! I'm glad you found us!

I'm Andi/Ena/Anda/Lus or whatever you decide to call me! As a council member of the Arts/Graphics & Cosplayers Guild, I second Celest's comment! xD Here is the link if you are interested: http://www.thegalaxycauldronforums.com/f99-artists-graphics-cosplayers-guild

I see that your favorite senshi is Sailor V, but who is your favorite villain?

GC is a good place to start forum RPing. You should try it out sometime! It's really fun! I've done a lot of forum/RPing throughout the past 12 years and I must say that GC RPs are the best RPs that I've ever participated in. Everybody in the RP section is really kind, patient, and helpful, and always in the mood for new RP characters/ideas!

Hello and welcome! Make yourself at home!

Wow thank you for such a warm Sailor Moon style welcome! And for pointing me in a few directions here. What a big playground! I feel like I could spend forever just lurking around lol. The mentor program is such a great idea. I hope maybe one day I'll have enough experience here to be a mentor too…

Now to find out if I can successfully multiquote from my mobile! ...Huzzah! Here goes!

Yay thank you!! I’ll go find an appropriate place to do that in then ^-^.

Gosh such a compliment from a pretty girl like yourself! (I snooped your Twitter :p.) I did make it! So many painstaking hourrrrrs lol. I’ll definitely see you and Ena over at the Cosplay Guild soon!

Oh man this made me think!! Chaos/Galaxia is pretty awesome (just her image song alone is killer!) but actually the first answer that came to mind was Prof Tomoe. I think that emote just speaks for itself lol.

Lately I've been reading ReLIFE. My favourite anime/manga series are Utena, Slayers and Read or Die. And then there's Ghibli films of course! (Nausicaa made me cry T^T.) I haven't watched much new anime but one I definitely recommend to any Sailor Moon or magical girl genre fan is High Earth Defence Club Love! So hilarious… Also, Love Live was super inspiring to me despite being so sadly unrealistic OTL.

Again thank you so much to everyone here for the kind words - I’ll definitely remember you when we bump into each other next!

Take care till then~.

Hello my name is stephen or Dark Sportsnutd which ever is easier for you..

I would like to know more about what you thought of PGSM and we have a section on the home page for just that.

Also you have a great singing voice and who ever reads this should go to your youtube page.

Oh hello!! I've been catching back up on forum stuff and noticed youall up on the threads. xD Welcome!!  I can't believe there's someone who also really loves the Makaiju arc! Not many people in the fandom like but while its not necessarily my favorite, I always look forward to watching it during my anime rewatches!

I'm really glad that you gave PGSM a chance. So many people put it off cause of your exact reason but its just so good! I hope you can also check out more of the musicals. I miiiiight be slightly Myu obsessed so if you got any questions about the shows I don't mind answering. (I can explain the Salad Time thing if you're really curious xD).

Now I'm off to check out your group's covers and your cosplay!

Edit: just watched half of the Kirari cover and i'm sold. Insta-sub! XD

Thank you both so much!! That means a lot to me!

LOL I figured I'd get to it eventually, but since you're right here now I MUST KNOW!

Okie, here comes! xD

Salad Time is a variation on the Shakespearean idiom, "Salad Days" referring to a youthful time in ones life. So the song title "Chikyuuiro wa Salad Time" (The Color of the Earth is Our Salad Time) means something along the lines of "the Earth appears youthful and fun", basically a "we're young and happy!" kind of thing (this is backed up by the lyrics of the song). I didn't get the idiom either the first time I saw the song until my translator at Sea of Serenity explained it to me. You can read our post about it here.

Myu lyrics are full of all sorts of fun things like these. I feel like I"m always learning stuff about them each time I watch them.

I'm a month late to this thread... but I was listening to Tsuki No Uta's cover of Heart Moving and just made the connection that one of the singers is a member of GC!!! That song is on my list of favorite Sailor Moon covers ever! All of you have beautiful voices and I love your solo. Minako would definitely be a fangirl 

D'awwww thank you Usa-chan!! I'm so honored!!
