Squishy「ENVTuber」Pink Ambition

I've seen your posts about it and it made me start thinking about the Gundams from series I've seen so far 🥺🙏 I'm glad people talk about it so deeply and with such passion

It could also be a nod to Setsuna not technically "being" a human anymore, as he's an innovator by that point, but Newtypes have used vented machines before too 🤔
Though then again, maybe the "curtains" were simply "blue"😅

This is true! Ironically the Gundam whose final role is to be "dialogues" is one without the mouth vents! I do find it very interesting that up until a certain point Setsuna's arc can coincide with the vent in terms of "human vs weapon" but maybe they didn't feel like continuing the message further?

Exia was ofc the new-at-the-time Gundam design facing off against the 00 version of the RX. Maybe the mutually destructive result is the writers saying new and old fans will destroy the fandom if they cannot coexist. Maybe it means violence IS good against evil. Maybe it means nothing at all?

Setsuna returns to the Exia after 00G is destroyed, which if we continue this analogy could mean that he's regressed into his old ideology: "humanity is to be suppressed or abandoned, I am best used as a weapon". This sort of feels like an oversight, but this confrontation could mean 2 things;

In contrast, the upgrade to Exia has the mouth vents. Setsuna has started to regain some of the humanity lost from being a child soldier. He goes through internal conflicts with the 00G including the consideration that violence isn't the only answer like with Saachez, but the theming can feel muddy;

Gundam 00 plays with the mouth vents too, though sometimes it can be a little muddled. Setsuna first sees himself as only a weapon, so Exia as a result has no mouth. It's not human, but oddly the OP of S1 has a personification of the Exia which might show that the staff saw her as one anyway.

Moments later, he asks Unicorn to transform to save Mineva Zabi. No violence, no fighting, he uses the enhanced performance of the NT-D to save lives rather than take them. The impact of prior events of the show on his heart (i.e when he kills Gilboa without meaning to) really show themselves here.

What does the show mean by this, what's it trying to say? "Suppress your humanity"? To what end? Banagher hates fighting. I thonk it's like a conversation between Unicorn and Banana: he says to it "Being [human] isn't just for conflict. Not every solution is violence, and that's not what Humans are"

Gundam Unicorn plays with this, with the true power of the Unicorn being hidden until it's accessed by revealing the "humanity". In the scene where Banana fights Marida in the Banshee on the atmosphere, the Unicorn tries to activate the NT-D.. but Banana says "no, I won't let you."

Her mother's motivation is to make a world where her daughter can be free so they humanize the method that her daughter is known by, the Gundam's physical form

For an easy example, Aerial's mouth is "hidden". That she is a soul inside a machine is unknown until after it's rebuilt, so thematically, her "humanity" is known, or at least it's no longer a secret.

I think in certain circumstances, the Gundam "mouth vents" are an underappreciated aspect in a design. More on a thematic sense than an aesthetic sense, what if it represents the difference between "human" and "machine"? If there are two Gundams, is the one with vents the one that's more human?

it's so fucked up how it could have been literally the greatest game ever made by a human but it ended up as basically a side-grade to the first game :(

Why didn't this post show up in the monster hunter feed 🥲🥲

IDK why I never tried this before but setting the render scaling to 200 just for photo mode is pretty chill.
I finally found another tattoo pack that I actually really like so I'm using that now, it's the one on the ninja outfit 🙂‍↕️

Das Gundam, it's AGE-2 Dark Hound! It's one of my favorite designs so I was really excited to get it in MG but I miss my HG versions 😭
The kit is still really cool in a lot of ways so despite it being annoying to me I still recommend it if you like the design itself 🙂‍↕️

I'm ngl this thing pisses me off but it's mostly (NOT ENTIRELY) because I broke the legs when transforming it. Some parts are still loose and the wave rider looks awkward, but otherwise it's f i n e I suppose...
Anyway we're also streaming so come say hi ig

I remember the exact expression I made when I finally got to the backpack I swear to God those gates should be considered a misdemeanor

Finished the HG 1/144 Char’s Zaku (GQ). 🙂 I had a lot of trouble with the red and white line decals on this one, so I used paint in place of most of them. #Gunpla

作ってみた感想なんですが、SDサイズのガンプラよりやや大きめで、よく動いて
カッコイイポーズもバッチリ決まる良キットだと思います。

I genuinely tried to get out of doing this stream for years but my arm has been twisted
I hate this game but surely we will try to have some fun #envtuber

It costs $0.00 to support a Mecha artist

Fucking cat hair SSIBAL GODFUCKINGDAMMI AAAAAAAAA

The articulation is honestly not very good. It's not TOO BAD, but it feels less than the sum of its parts due to some critical limitations in the hips, stomach, and shoulders. All in all it's still fun because I like the Jesta Cannon in GBO2 😎.

I accidentally used both "003" and "001" squad markings but I don't want to waste them...
This kit is mixed. A lot of pretty easy seams that I could have fixed better, large and plain surfaces for scribing practice, and small painting made it pretty fun.
