Origen

Those poor Bael hips failing it.

After more than 30h since the first departure we finally made it to Japan x_x

After rather annoying complications, finally on the final plane to Japan. (Zhongli's my sibling's)

Finally managed to get on the first flight to Japan. Had a delay(probably cause of early snow) that made it impossible to reach my connection and now I'll have to stay the night before the final flight.

FML

Bought 2 of the frigging acrylic cards boxes from TBHX and go the exact frigging stained glass cards both times.

Lucky Cyan (Alright, kinda middle of the pack for me)

...And dragon boy....

FML. (Thanks god my sibling got X and prefer others)

Oooooooh...you have no idea XD

I'm still sad I'm missing the GCG Card TT.
I'm going to japan in early november, but not early enough to get it. I'm curious what's gonna be the bonus for the last weeks tho so I'll maybe try going then XD.

I can understand some Lacus critics, but also a certain level of slander just feels to me people have missed the entire point of this series as a whole.

Same...but for other reasons xD

*Man who keeps buying more kits to add to his backlog cause the last line of defense is a MGEX Strike Freedom he's scared of messing up*

Been close to 2 years now xD

Preparing my trip to japan and discovering the joys of trying to make collab cafe reservations...(honestly it's more for my sibling who's coming with me till I find one collab that hits my taste XD)

I think I'm close to preferring filing my taxes myself...

Alright...

Now need to find some Charmuro nut in this regional that I can trade these for AsuKira xD

At the Gundam TCG Regional.
Lost game 1 but me and my opponent both opened $ promo cards. I looked at him...

So now I got the Cagalli promo.

(Also opened the Aegis closed combat)

It was refreshing to see Mika being at a disadvantage for a while because he actually didn't understand how a katana/longsword should be used, as he was mainly proficient with only massive swinging type weaps.

Reaching it doesn't reduce the value/interest level of it for me. SEED is already grey and depressing enough as a setting. I personally need to at least feel it's chars aren't doomed. (Getting IBO PTSD xD)

For different reasons, it's also why I love 86 with a passion when it comes to Shin/Lena

Guess I'm a tad more basic xD. I do honestly feel that I'd prefer that good end than them staying in that guilty limbo. The challenges their relationship brings is great and captivating, but only to me as long as I can feel it can be overcome and get somewhere...

That's understandable. I do guess it maybe loses some of it uniqueness. Meanwhile I just really like when everyone of my characters have their cool mobile suit/Gundam that represents them as if they themselves were the MC.

*Never stop printing more, SEED plz, xD*

*To not say never-ending

Careful. That's a very long and deep rabbit hole xD, to say never-ending xD

Like yeah he's enabling Ein's worst impulses, but it still comes from an "honorable" place imo.

Like if Ein's wish would've been to just retire and live on a farm, Gaelio would've also done his best to bring it to fruition

Sadly it's just murder kids so oh well xD

*Meanwhile the poor random Gjallaghorn pilot who probly got cooked by reentry*

X_X

Well...that's a rather unexpected but welcome surprise to be sure.

Had to Google woobifying because of you xD.

Ok least this week was pretty fruitful. 3 tournaments. Ended 2nd in two of them and won the last one and managed to get another AA Freedom, winner Athrun and finally a frigging Lacus Unforeseen after like 20 participation packs xD

If it's about the narrative itself and the chars. then I'm with you 100%.

It's harder for me to apply that to humanity as a whole tho. As far as the franchise (and I guess RL) goes, this is still to me the furthest it reached.

A bit sad but the optimist in me is satisfied.

Pic for optimist scale

It's all dependant on the way you see humanity and your expectations of it as a whole.

It's kinda hard to give an "fairy tale" ending that feels earned on a story that starts with very real and long-standing problems. Fix too much/too easily, it doesn't feel like humanity is made of...well...humans (imo)

Don't do it not enough and it doesn't feel like much has changed.

Won 2 tournaments at the same LGS in a row with my winner packs. Ended up second today and the frigging winner opens the Lacus Unforeseen Incident winner card

Me :

*Still didn't even get the participation one*

He's my favorite support character in this.

His ideals/values both for the kids and for the nation/army is a sight to see the more he appears to express them with a certain determination. He's frigging incredible.

I love him xD

Surprised the previous didn't xD. As a LN reader that was definitely presented in an a way that surpassed the source material and destroyed me

Which at the same time was definitely the first domino that compounded with everything that followed in 11.

Quite happy you're taking a shot at it tho!
