What if your enemy was your soulmate… in another life?

🌙✨ Hey! Hi! Hello!

In this emotionally-charged episode of Chickling Chronicles, we’re dusting off our moon tiaras and diving deep into the starlit heartbreak, cosmic romance, and villain redemption arcs of Sailor Moon Season 1 and beyond.

So grab your crescent wand, cue the tragic backstory, and let’s talk about love, grief, and why sometimes… your greatest enemy is just your soulmate with bad timing.

🌒 If you’ve ever whispered “don’t I know you?” to a fictional character, this one’s for you.
