Less magic schools. More magic universities. Unlearn the simplified models of your secondary education. Discover how to reference scrolls written by a wizard possessed by a different wizard. Identify bias in the voices that whisper from beyond the veil. Have your institution be accused of promoting a Merlinist agenda. Become addicted to energy potions.

masks that cover the face but leave the eyes visible give someone a deeply personal character - they present someone as a thinking, feeling person first and foremost, and anonymise them physically.
on the other hand, masks that cover the face but leave the mouth visible do the opposite - they present someone as a body, a visceral and physical being. where the eyes subjectify, the mouth objectifies them.

Hey. The reason you love gundam is the reason i love legend of the galactic heroes and xenogears. They are both about how each generation forgets the lessons of the previous. I think you will love these things too.
(googling) 1980s-1990s CONTENT HAS THE SAUCE, I BELIEVE IT ! i just get so obsessed with stuff... with gundam specifically, i knew on a certain level how influential it+stuff from this era is on more modern stuff that i love, but watching gundam i was just struck with the realization that everything i wanted from a show was there all along, right at the beginning... what the heck
i 100% believe if i was to look into both of those (ohh xenogears -> xenoblade HOLD ONNNN NOW....) id adore them oh my god put a pin in that one for like 2 or so years
#makes me want to write. hngh#hi also!!!#i crave hope though. we are living through incredibly troubled times#gundam has a rlly crazy interesting message with all the characters n what they represent and stuff it feels so.....

— if it’s fate, it’s a horrible one. cruel.
KIDOU SENSHI GUNDAM III: MEGURIAI SORA-HEN (1982) created by tomino yoshiyuki
#[continuation of a rant i was going on in my own head] and in the end#and in the end it doesnt even matter you can do a thousand redos change a million little decisions#have them be actually enlisted instead of unofficially drafted#have amuro come up with the idea at the same time char comes up with the idea. have char have two other actual friends#have kai be there. or have bright overhear over coms#or have ramba reveal char's identity. or have casval intentionally get char killed#or have him rescue her a second time after garma dies and offer her a choice that she can freely decline#or have them meet on side 6 and have amuro just straight up tell char who he is#or have sayla straight up walk into a baoa qu and spark an uprising as artesia daikun right under kycilia's coup.#gundam is a tragedy. maybe one thing could have prevented this. or maybe not.#maybe hope is an illusion. but we still have to try.#and in the end it doesnt matter - because the issues are systematic. at its core#'even char should know who our real enemy is'#my favorite thing about gundam is it continues. the older generation fucks up the newer generation and then they become the older generation#*about UC gundam#im obsessed with it. i love it. boy am i glad im out here and they're in there and i'm out here [pauses for a moment] help me#gundam#all of these things are stuff that happens in novelizations or the manga or the show btw HDJFKGK#have him sitting the whole time. have him standing and then sit. have him unmask around her - she sees through him anyway#etc#edit:#ALSO I GUESS I NEED TO LOOK INTO GHIREN'S GREED LOL

Lalah Sune board for anon
X-X-X X-X X-X-X
#having gone through like 90% of the available lalah content (which comparatively is not that much)#ive become obsessed with finding alternate version of scenes#because gundam really is just like a tragedy but its plagued with 'if one thing changed or if we were just a bit faster or better'#'maybe things would be better - or maybe we would have ended up in the same place. maybe hope is an illusion#'but we still have to try'#I HAVE SUCH A STRONG OPINION ON HER#YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HERRR LIKE I UNDERSTAND HER YOU DONT GET IT <-#says LITERALLY EVERY CHARACTER IN THE SHOW. SO. MAYBE I SHOULD SHUT UPP#i love her though. earth spheres strongest empath and her blorbo#I LOVED reading origin she rlly went '[about char] it dont bite :)' newtypes are so what is wrong with you people YES IT DO#all the slightly au novelizations where she goes but i want them both#I KNOW WHAT SHE MEANT BY THAT. I GET HER.#NOT IN A ROMANTIC OR ETC WAY BUT A NEWTYPE SOUL-SOUL SURPRISE FIFTH THING#[shaking the table. rattling noise]#yknow how ppl are like 'kamille was before his time' its not even lalah's time yet BUT YOU'LL SEE YOU'LL ALL SEE#thats what i watch this show for the newtype bullshit i love it#the concept of newtypes being make or break for general fans is very obvious#you can telllllll and its 100% dependant on their opinion on lalah sune#on their take on her#and she is absolutely my favorite character#people are always doing her such a disservice inuniverse and in real life#oh my god .#dont take away the little agency left to her by the narrative#alright i'll stop. but oh my god.#gundam#HE GAVE HER THE OPTION. SHE SENSED IT WAS TRUE.#MAYBE IF CHAR WAS LESS INSANE MAYBE IF LALAH WAS LESS UNCONDITIONAL#STOP DEMONIZING PEOPLE JUST TO VICTIMIZE HER. LOOK AT HER. ACTUALLY LOOK AT HER#[being dragged off the stage]

Kamille was a character ahead of his time. He responds with "I'm literally a minor" to every problem. Gen z would have loved him
#rip kamille you were born as a character in the 80s so you wouldnt have to navigate#[searching for the words] .... twitter#a modern au of zeta would go absolutely crazy btw bc ive seen zeta happen in real life#kamille is out there getting into situations ive seen beat for beat on tumblr as amuro and quattro make#the EXACT same face i am making#somewhere out there cycles are repeating that you didnt even realize were cycles#to myself and to people i know#somewhere out there a trans man with autism is getting into a brief but intense codependant tumblr edating relationship#with a egirl with bpd whos medication is too strong for her#and sometimes that happens to people you know#and this will repeat on whatever social media of choice forever#i have so many opinions. will hold off. for now. waiting for my friends to also watch it.#gundam#zeta gundam#anyway i loved zeta . kamille shouldve been born in 2010#so he could get into online discourse and grow up as a person as he transitions from chronically online activism to more tangible things#getting involved in ... stuff#for better AND for worse#SORRY I JUST#anyway not just about the relationship stuff though sorry zeta is so good and so bad i do find it all fascinating#i also have opinions about zeta in the [i am amuro's age] i probably should habe not way hed this at this time in my life . lol

#hi nishi.#also when my friends and i were watching movie 2 it was super late at night#and you could feel a tangible shift in the energy in the call the moment char showed back up on screen with like an hour left to thw movie#'where was char' him appearing with the aquatic ms team = everyone immedietely deciding he obviously took that break to fish#gundam

do you ever become obsessed with a character and you just go "of fucking course its that one" at yourself because you are so incredibly predictable
#to my absolute dismay: the grandfather of half my favorite characters somehow hits#more of my favorite tropes than any one of his archetype descendants even tried#A DEVASTATING BLOW.
