Bigfin squid sighting from November 11, 2007

When you chilling with bro but realize it's 5pm on a Sunday

Hug your loved ones tight. Tell them you love them. Whether they are human, or smaller and fuzzy. Please let them know they are loved...

...Self-sufficiency? ..Independence? He had an interest in machines, but he didn't think he had it in him to patiently develop tools. At Amuro's young age, a boy's dreams didn't convert into reality, and he hadn't matured to the point where he was setting goals for his life. I must have a grudge against women in general...since I was the child of a mother like that... Amuro was able to acquire such an audacious understanding of himself after learning words like "mother complex," and as he masturbated he started to find that he was aroused by not only normal pornography but BDSM as well. I want to reject female genitalia...even though I like looking at them so much. He was even able to come up with the theory that his desire to enjoy the erotic, when combined with the urge to forget such impulses, resulted in a new desire to destroy women's bodies. However, he was also concerned it might be a dangerous sign that a regular naked woman wasn't enough to sexually arouse him. This was why he absolutely did not want Fraw Bow, a healthy and wholesome girl, to catch wind of his fetishes. So, he remained very aware that he needed to keep presenting himself as a normal boy to her. However, he hadn't figured out the important question of how exactly he was supposed to do that, which only made him more frustrated.

The Gundam novels are a great way to really dive more into the politics and mindset of the characters, more so than the anime ever could. For example, you learn about Amuro’s BDSM fetish caused by his lack of maternal figure

"Roger that." Amuro sighed, looking up at the ceiling. "That's all. You can go now." "Stay well!" "You too! And watch out for Char's moves." "Ignorant as always," Amuro thought, resisting the urge to punch him. Those at the top of the hierarchy, detached from reality, arrogantly wielded words as their sole tools of influence. This sham of an absolute democratic system, like the Nomenklatura class born from the hypocrisy of communism or the apartheid of the South African Federation, engineered a society deeply divided into stratified classes. Fear of falling from their risen status silently fortified this class system, identical in the world of economics. The tragedy of modernity lies in the increasingly sophisticated structure of society, which now invents ideologies and manipulates scientific data to perpetuate its class system. As the Space Age advanced, its reliance on a scientific-technological foundation intensified, spawning a new breed of politician-scientists. Their specialized biases and narrow perspectives further contributed to political turmoil. Yet, humanity still struggles to find an ideology to sublate these elements.

It is not the only time in this book where Amuro brings up apartheid

Von Braun City, facing Earth, was visible from tens of thousands of meters above as a city of light, its artificial glow forming a stunning band against the moon's faintly blue-tinged gray surface. "Lieutenant! Hey, Amuro?" "Ah….. what?" Chan gazed out at the sprawling lunar city, her voice tinged with wonder. "Do you think people in the past ever dreamed of building cities on the Moon like this?" "Probably not. The first human step on the Moon was in the old 20th century, right? Back then, Earth wasn't as polluted, and people believed humanity could live there until the sun died out. It was a time when white madams still employed black maids." "Don't be so absurd! That was more of a 19th-century thing, wasn't it?" "Unfortunately, no. Even in the late 20th-century, apartheid was a reality, and Africa still struggled with racial discrimination, albeit different from slavery." "Really?" "I was born on Earth. Even as a soldier, I was confined to the American continent. Trust me, I've studied Earth's history more than you." "Hmm, really?" Amuro's tone turned somber. "In South Africa, 80% of the black population was squeezed into 14% of the land, while the 20% white population controlled 86%. The numbers might be off, but the disparity is staggering, isn't it?" "It's hard to believe." "Yeah, but there's more. There were instances where the masters wouldn't even hold their own children, leaving them to maids to raise, while they indulged in romantic escapades. Yet, they'd get angry and despair over their children not loving them, wondering why they didn't." "I don't understand. If parents don't embrace their children, how can a parent-child relationship exist?" "I've never raised a child, but I agree. Yet, in a problematic social system that becomes the norm, people start believing it's just, and changing it takes time. In a legal state, you have to follow even the bad laws." "Such a ridiculous notion!" "Isn't it the same in the current Earth Sphere?”

Remembering that time in the Char’s Counterattack novel when Amuro brings up apartheid in South Africa

15 year old Amuro in the cockpit, going over the instruction manual once again: “Ahh okay so this is how you manage to to use your shield, neat!”

Average Zeon grunt:

When I look at the kiss at the end of the series, I’m not thinking “wow, so this is the endgame ship,” but rather that the point of the scene is that it’s the first time Shuji sees humanity, when he embraces love instead of obsession, the Newtype ideal of being connected to one another in harmony

A GQuuuuuuX opinion:

I personally don’t care that we didn’t get a definitive answer for who/what Shuji is because his narrative role is clear: a vessel to project Newtype ideals onto but in the end, a reinforcement of the false belief that the secret to peace for Newtypes is continuous violence

There’s a long, 30+ page interview between Hideaki Anno and Yoshiyuki Tomino theoretically about Char’s Counterattack that goes off the rails into so many places. It’s mainly either Anno gushing about how much he loves Gundam to a self critical Tomino, or Tomino going off about wild stuff like this

Ryan Coogler’s ‘SINNERS’ is now streaming on Max.

See which other movies just got added to Max: bit.ly/MaxJuly25

The Federation sent him WHAT in the WHAT now?!???!?!?!?!?

The situation on White Base is like. You're on a plane that's about to crash, pilots are out of commission, and some teenager is like "I have 500 hours in Microsoft Flight Simulator".................yeah sure get him up here

cleaning this up in a frenzy

Drew Judith to cheer myself up

-the same way that someone else thinks it's irredeemable dogshit and I have NEVER seen anything THIS mid spark so much genuine & varied discussion. It FASCINATES me and I kind of love it for that

Yoko Taro (yes, that Yoko Taro) said on Twitter that GQuuuuuuX is like a kaleidoscope- a single thing through which a million different perspectives are reflected and I sincerely believe that. What it *is* or how good it is really just depends on your perspective because it could be peak for you in

Just so everyone over here can make sense of me reposting wildly different takes on GQuuuuuuX & it's ending- it's a 6/10 for me but it's a REALLY interesting 6/10. Like I truly believe that everything that everyone has to say about it has a bit of truth to it regardless of your overall opinion

challia wearing char’s mask at the end is fucking funny as shit but also their relationship dynamic turning into “in being obsessed with the image of you for years I’ve turned myself into you and made you obsolete, and I refuse to let you be that you again” is kind of insanely cooking actually

Not quite how I expected it to play out but this one prediction did come true! Someone even pointed out that Machu's toenails are painted red in the epilogue; you can see her painting them in the ED.

Regardless of how you see their relationship, they are living together!

That's the only thing he says to him: he explains his plan on how to destroy Solomon, only to let Solomon fall instead. This small element of the writing, present in the prologue, wouldn't have been relevant considering Kycilia's own plan without Challia discovering Char's. (2/2)

(spoilers) On Char, Challia, Solomon and Nihilism:

Challia attacking Char was fated and foreshadowed when this happened. The trick is that Char didn't tell his intentions to Challia, which was already a betrayal in itself. This HAD to be answered in the rest of the show. (1/2)

お祭りがおわってしまった　めっちゃたのしかった
#ジークアクス　#GQuuuuuuX

Killing myself for this scene. Thank you.

#tome gquuuuuux is a story about desire/obsession/longing (pretend there is a word in english for a combination of the 3) and a bunch of people who will do any crazy shit for that so when you put it like this it did just what it was supposed to

hathaway doesn’t count because it has a novel and we’re one entry into a trilogy WHERE IS HATH 2 SUNRISE

i’m so gonna get cancelled but gquuuuuux is one of the better anime original gundams in the past 10 years. i’m a IBO s2 defender but objectively it was Not Great. whatever the hell half of gwitch was, and seed freedom being seed freedom
