Take a bow, instagram.com/cinnamon_bun... @letsgoashe.com @freshlystiched.bsky.social @shiverwolf.bsky.social 👏

Grinning ear-to-ear with pride at how some friends absolutely killed it with their first TTRPG stream! I thought I'd be lurking on mute while I worked - instead, I'm hooked! And I have tons of work left to do lmao

Go give these delightful dweebs a follow! ❤️ twitch.tv/talesfrometh... #dnd #streamer

Congrats on this step of your journey! 🎉

Crushed on X: "1/3 https://t.co/mJ4ttdWo8h" / X 1/3 https://t.co/mJ4ttdWo8h

I found the original 3 tweets of it! twitter..com/silenttakedo...

The CEO of Bluesky is craven and evil. The only people that build these platforms are infected with the self-reproducing moral rot of capitalism. They have no sense of duty or stewardship. They see their monetary reward as a cleansing justification for their actions.

Uhhhh, that took far more work and time than I expected 💀 I don't think I can go into anything resembling that much detail from here if we're going to keep this up. But at least it's appropriate for that first episode!

Heero and a dumbfounded Relena in spotlights

A shocked Relena in a blowing wind: "What kind of person is he?!"

Shot of Gundam Wing's first ending credits, with Relena in a safari outfit yanking as hard as she can on a rhino's tail. The rhino's still obliviously munching on some grass.

"What kind of person is he?!"

idk, probably a perfect match for the woman who's committed the greatest crime in this show so far

#gundamwing

Heero, glaring at Relena as he walks past: "I'll kill you."

E-e-enemy!?!? 😱

Absolutely incredible moment! The perfect hook to have people coming back after that first episode

#gundamwing

Relena giving Heero an invitation to her birthday party, with other students watching close by for some reason.

Heero ripping up the invitation right in an aghast Relena's face

Relena as Heero wipes a tear from her face with his finger: "But..But why?"

A relieved Relena smiles as Heero walks past her

B-b-but would you still like to be my f-f-fwend?? 🥺

#gundamwing

Shot of Heero in a posh private school uniform at the front of a lecture hall. Teacher off-screen: "I'd like to introduce a new student to our class"

Heero taking his seat next to Relena, who's still surprised to see him again

Relena, hopeful: "Nice to meet you, Heero"

Heero, smugly ignoring Relena

So, uh, how does going to the same school as a witness help Heero keep a low profile?? Not that I'd complain if it was purely to set up *that* moment 👀

#gundamwing

The Shenlong Gundam starts to fire its arm-mounted flamethrower into the sky

Shenlong's twin flamethrower beams travelling just between two fighters, which will explode despite unclear contact between them

Lastly, we've got Wufei further confusing us about how marksmanship even works in this world

#gundamwing

Maganacs firing on Earth Sphere and/or OZ forces

Quatre in the Gundam Sandrock: "[Drop your weapons and surrender], then I'll spare your lives"

2 more freshly-sliced Leos, that definitely didn't surrender

Quatre, with an exasperated look: "You should've surrendered"

See, Quatre's a nice boy! Definitely won't slip up and do a wee war crime or anything...

#gundamwing

Three Leos and a Tragos badly sending out suppressing fire while one reports that Dover base is under attack

Gundam Heavyarms approaches from the horizon in a sea of bullets that all miss it

Gundam Heavyarms looking cool as explosions from whiffed projectiles explode behind it

Gundam Heavyarms retaliating with machine gun fire and a missile salvo, still not being hit by any incoming fire

Having watched many other series since then, it's so weird seeing mobile suits not be very mobile at all and yet have such bad aim that even Stormtroopers would be tickled by it.

At least it lets Heavyarms get a "cool MS don't look at explosions 😎" moment!

#gundamwing

A Leo just sliced in two, before it explodes

Wider shot of Gundam Deathscythe, and its beam scythe

Close-up of Gundam Deathscythe's face, partly obscured by its scythe

But what of the other very normal protagonists? Here's Duo making scythes cool again for the next 15 years

#gundamwing

Relena solemnly looks on as Heero speeds away in a stolen ambulance

Relena, still looking on from afar: "My name is Relena Darlian"

Relena, inquisitively raising her hand: "What's yours?"

A girl so desperate for a real friend that she's completely unfazed by a child soldier failing to blow up his chest cavity, then stealing the ambulance that she called.

lol, that's our OTP for you!

#gundamwing

Relena looking at an unconscious Heero: "He's just a boy."

Heero, conscious and covering his face: "Did you see?"

Heero activating his pilot suit's detonator

Heero's suit's detonator explodes, but barely injures him

TFW your crush catches you sleeping instead of looking cool and you have to die of embarrassment

#gundamwing

I like how this exchange works as our first hint at Treize's philosophy

#gundamwing

Far shot of a stage

Treize looking through some opera glasses (but he's on the phone with Zechs, so is he even paying much attention to begin with??)

Treize in his theatre balcony seat, on a call with Zehchs via a stupidly bright display: "It's unlike you to be so careless"

"Treize Khushrenada"? More like "Treize Shush-yer-yapper, you're in a fucking theatre ya dobber"

#gundamwing

An OZ pilot experiencing a toasty death

Heero cackling unlike a hero

Pilots getting burninated and our beloved highly-strung child soldier protagonist Heero Yuy loving it. What a contrast with the likes of Amuro!

#gundamwing

He's heard of Operation Meteor, but still didn't think the colonies could build mobile suits? Himbo vibes tbh

#gundamwing

(love how I've had to post this 3 times because of a subtitle timing bug in Bluesky...)

Zechs Merquise, to a subordinate: "A hired front line soldier mustn't rush to battle"

Zechs leaving his ship's bridge to sortie. Soldier off-screen: "You're going after him with a mobile suit?!"

Zechs, looking back at soldier from previous shot: "Besides, if he wants to fight, I should give him my best."

Even as a kid with no knowledge of Char to draw from, Zechs always seemed effortlessly cool from the off. It helps when his JP VA is also that of Dio 👀

#gundamwing

Iconic shot, from an iconic intro *chef's kiss*

#gundamwing

Gundam Wing OP1's title card, over a space shot with the Earth in the foreground and the Sun, Moon, and a space colony in the background

There's an Endless Waltz screening near me in November - a perfect deadline! 👀 That, and I really need something to motivate me to actually post more here lmao

Fuck it, Gundam Wing watch-through thread let's gooooo!!

(If this is torture for you, please mute #gundamwing xoxo)

So it's the 30th anniversary year of Gundam Wing, the show that simultaneously made and ruined my taste in media! I would simply not be this particular flavour of nerd without it 🥰

And yet I never got round to properly rewatching it after missing plenty of episodes in its first UK broadcast run! 😳

Yep, this is the tl;dr of why I only have BTTV and FFZ emotes on my channel

A pink t-shirt, with a design where vtuber MaymoUwU (in her human disguise form with a pink and sky blue outfit) is having afternoon tea with her mascot, Frogchamp (a plushie-sized and shaped quasi-humanoid frog)

Yass, my @maymouwu.bsky.social merch arrived today, and it's gorgeous! 😍

All I needed from yesterday's direct was a release date for Metroid Prime 4 - imagine how happy I was that we got that *and* some sick bike moves! :o
