Is this more a Sailor Moon Tumblr or a nostalgia Tumblr, these days? I can’t be sure. (Maybe they’re the same thing, kind of.)

Anyway, here’s another one for “I remember when”. The ’90s! Moonie Codes! This was something we did, citizens of the new internet. You’re just going to have to accept it.

Basically, they were strings of ASCII characters that told the world at large what kind of Sailormoon fan you were. They were great for personal webpages and forum/email signatures (back when such things were mostly text or text-only), but nowadays we have Tumblr for telling everyone, through infinite reblogs, who your favorite senshi is. I haven’t seen one in years, so I’m not sure what made me think of them tonight…

Just for fun, here’s mine (made using version 1.12.05). If anyone else wants to make one, I will a) be incredibly amused and b) be your friend, because friends!! (Oh god, look at all those asterisks…)

Nakayoshi’s September 1993 Sailor Moon anime commemorative issue. Though it’s a special issue (and thus somewhat non-standard), it’s a rare peek at Sailor Moon’s original serialized source!

The most accurate replica of Usagi’s wedding dress I’ve seen! 8,190 yen if you’d like one of your own—they’re made to order. (It really was the nineties, wasn’t it…?)

I somehow failed to reblog this when it was first posted, but better late than never, right? (I want a Luna plush that looks like this. She’s so cute.)

Who else remembers these little GIFs from, oh, everywhere on Earth pre-2000 or so? There was a time when you couldn’t swing a stick without hitting a mess of these on pretty much every Sailor Moon site. Now it actually takes a bit of digging to turn them up!

I don’t know the original source of these, truth be told. I’m not sure that anyone does. But they’re awfully cute…! Seeing them again makes me happy. ∩( ・ω・)∩

In case you’ve forgotten how old Sailor Moon is, a friendly reminder: Sailor Moon floppy disk labels and index cards. I wish I’d had these as a kid!

I’m not sure that anyone will take up this girl on it, but I’m here if you want to throw a number at me, dear followers! I’d love to chat and get to know some of you a little better! (☆^O^☆)
