Glad To Know That Im Not Alone - Tumblr Posts
Thank you so much for writing this. Chibi-usa has been stuck in a child body for fucking 902 years, as much as we know from manga she didn't even know what is love because Neo Queen Serenity and King Endymion didn't seem to show her much love. She is a child, she acts and thinks like a child; she had several traumas and all she ever wanted was to be useful and getting loved by someone. There are different types of love and Mamoru was the first person to show kindness to her, honestly it's pretty obvious she never loved him in a serious romantic way. Even Chibi-usa herself admits it in Dream Arc, i can't understand why people misunderstooding her feelings.
Chibiusa's Crush on Mamo
I dont know why people have such a problem with this, little kids have crushes on their parents all the time and other family members. Its not a big deal and it's not a real romantic attraction. Then add in that mamoru and usagi are vastly different from the parents she knows, and that she views them as seperate people its clear theirs a disconect. While she has a crush its not like she actually wants him. She admits it herself, she knows he's going to be her father one day. Just like usagi, whose like her sister now will be her mom.
Wiseman just twisted her feelings and the situation.
And here, with helios she actually develops her first real love. Shown by her not going with Usagi to visit mamo in that one scene. It reaches its climax when she kisses Helios and unlocks her pink moon crystal, mirroring Usagi first unlocking the silver crystal when tuxedo mask was dying in her arms
