Gonna be working my way backwards through these posts... Sorry it's been taking me so long.
Ah! Perfect!
We don't often get to see very much of her drawn with the platinum hair. And I have to admit, I like that look for the "Neo-Queen" persona a lot more than the usual blonde.
Yeah, just not *quite* as regal looking as the platinum. But then, I guess this is just her in the "down home" mode while she just happens to be in-costume.
Heh. From the little *zing* she got from that headbutt and the look on her face? I can tell she's having a more Dark Lady-like thought in the form of, "Helios, you horse's ass! That smarts!"
.... No comments here. It'll be tremendously smart-assed, and me being a sailor? Yeeeaaaahhhh....
This photo was definitely for the "I, For One, Welcome Our New Overlords" article by the Newsies.
No name for Chibi-Rei there?
Seeing her being all flirty and genki like that, I feel like she'd be the type to have a crush on Uncle Ben. And when Usagi teases her by going, "Oh? Not crushing on your dad like your sister did~?" (Talking about Chibi-Usa when she first came back from the future)
Chibi-Rei would go: "Dad's okay... But Uncle Ben is super-cool! All BAM! and BOOM! BIG DAMN HERO TIME! and Whatcha Gonna Do About It? Dad just does paperwork all day..." (And in the background, Mamarou is getting speared through the chest by her words, much to Usagi's and Rei's amusement.)
I can also see her getting into fights with Ben's daughters for trying to monopolize his attention whenever she visits. Cue Benjamin's son watching with a great deal of concern and asking his father the all-important questions...
"Dad, are all girls like that?"
"Not all the time. But yeah, more or less."
"That is so weird."
"Heh. C'mon, kiddo. You can't tell me you haven't been having fun by making the other girls chase you."
"But... THAT'S DIFFERENT! I WAS PRANKING THEM!"
"Son. That's attraction, and the sooner you figure it out, the more enjoyable your life is gonna be."
He'll then give him one of the more "advanced" flirting strategies: the next time he gets Chibi-Rei to chase him, let her catch him and then plant a fast one on her cheek. And while she's surprised, make the escape and run again. And keep doing it. Eventually she'll get used to it, and that's where the REAL fun starts.
I also like the idea of Chibi-Usa turning into an aspiring hikikomori. It just tickles my funny bone for some reason. Besides, her becoming sullen, disillusioned, and moody like that just plays perfectly into the idea of her becoming Dark Lady again. Ah, the teenage rebellion years!
If anything, if Usagi did have a daughter that was her carbon copy like the one in this picture, then I imagine that *she* would be the one named Mikage, and Chibi-Usa would still be Chibi-Usa.
I can see that actually being part of what would help bring Chibi-Usa back from the brink. That Usagi would sit down and explain to her:
"I do love Mikage very much. She is proof of the love between your father and I. I felt her grow inside of me. I felt her first movements. I brought her into this beautiful world. I heard her first cry and gave her her first milk. But even if I never actually did get to experience that with you, there is another version of me out there that did. And even if we did fight at first, I've come to love you just as much as she did. You are my very own Baby Bunny, and nothing is ever going to change that. Even if you are Dark Lady now, you are still *my daughter* and I will always love you, no matter what."
Snrk. From Chibi-Usa? More like, "Well it's about time, dang it! C'mon girls! We're gonna kick butt and chew bubblegum..."
Amazon Quartet+Chibi-Usa: "AND WE'RE ALL OUTTA BUBBLEGUM!!!"
Oh, and Hotaru isn't the jealous type. I can easily see her being to this group what Sailor Pluto is to the others.
I can't see the implied message here that Chibi-Usa is somehow passing the torch to Ceres. However, I can see these two having a sisterly relationship much like the one shared between Usagi and Rei. (As for Hotaru... Let's just say they're *closer* than sisters. )

Ah, good; there are a few images that aren't of either or both of those two.

Source. Some of them have had individual images copied over from pixiv: Usagi, Mamoru, Usagi and Mamoru's daughter "Mikage" who is apparently totally not Chibiusa, Makoto, Ami, Ami's daughter "Aina", Minako, Minako's daughter "Venus", Rei, Hotaru, and Hotaru and Chibiusa.

In-Metacontinuity dialog:
"When your mother was your age, she was working with, and fighting alongside, her closest friends and advisors. It's high time you did the same thing. Bunny Chiba, it's time for you to run away and join the circus."
"Aw, do I have to?"
