I was inspired with additional sass.

Sneak peek at new design, only real tweak is a longer tail.

I saw someone express an opinion (that I don’t share) that TBB killing off Tech in the middle of the show was brave and powerful and novel, and my first thought was “someone hasn’t seen Gurren Lagann”

Believe in the Me Who Believes in You (Unsent Letter from Kamina) Gurren Lagann Fanfic by MythboundCal

Oi, Simon.

I don’t know if you’ll ever find this. Maybe it’ll burn up in battle. Maybe I’ll never get the guts to hand it to you. Doesn’t matter.

Some things you say just in case. Just in case the drill stops turning. Just in case I don’t get to shout one more time.

So here it is.

You’ve got something in you that’s bigger than fear. Bigger than the hole you think you’re digging out of. You’ve got you.

I know sometimes you shake. I know you doubt yourself. So let me carry that for a while.

Don’t believe in yourself. Believe in the me who believes in you.

And when even that’s not enough?

Believe in the you I already see— The one who’s going to change the whole damn world.

Because you will, Simon. You have to. You’re the one who keeps going when it’s impossible.

Me? I was just the first idiot loud enough to punch the heavens.

But you? You’re the one who’s gonna pierce them.

So when they ask— When the whole world asks—

“Just who the hell do you think you are?!”

You tell them. Say it with your chest. Say it like a drill tearing through doubt.

“I’m Simon. And I’m the one he believed in.”

If I’m not around tomorrow, that’s alright. I was never supposed to last forever.

I was the spark. You’re the fire.

Now go light the damn sky.

— Kamina

---

This piece is a love letter—not just from Kamina to Simon, but from me to you. All of you.

Any one of us could be Simon. All of us, at some point, have doubted the strength we carry. And that’s why Kamina echoes so loudly in our hearts— because we all have someone who saw our fire before we did. 🦋

Luffy, Usopp, Franky, and Chopper would fucking lose it watching Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. It would be their favorite anime ever. You can't tell me they wouldn't absolutely adore an inspirational show about mechas in which they talk about people's hopes and dreams and epically say things like  "Just believe in yourself. Not in the Simon that I believe in; not in the Kamina that you believe in. Have faith in the Simon who believes in you" and "I'll protect 'em! The girl, the universe, both of them! I don't wanna regret doing nothing cause of a tomorrow that might never come" and never forget "The dreams of those who have fallen... The hopes of those who will follow! Those two sets of dreams weave together into a double helix, drilling a path toward tomorrow!". I just know they'd absolutely love it and would be the only thing they talk about for months. They rewatch it together. The rest of the group is so done with them. Sanji only watches it because of the pretty girls but then Viral shows up and around the fourth watch he is like "This guy is so real". Zoro sleeps through the whole thing except in Viral's scenes because he uses swords. Brook likes the music. Nami likes the female characters. Robin is always mentioning some religious or scientific reference they do on the show and enjoys the speeches quite a lot. And Jinbe is just happy to be there.

i really like that kamina has thinner eyes but larger iris' whilst all the other men in ttgl have smaller pupils regardless of eyeshape. that and his eyelashes make kamina look feminine in a way that's super charming to me? idk i can't put it into words super well

[coredrill]

i’m sure i’ve said something to this effect before (if not this verbatim lmao) and tbh it’s probably gonna sound even more unhinged than usual but like. something i really love about ttgl is the way it’s structured? like. obviously it’s got 4 main arcs, as signified by the characters who get the title cards for each (kamina, nia, rossiu, and simon). and a hugely defining factor of each is simon’s relationship with (and love for, since love is a huge theme in the show) whoever the “focus” character is. and i also like to think of it as it representing 4 different types of love? like kamina obviously being brotherly/familial love, and nia being romantic love, and rossiu being platonic love, and simon being self-love, as well as his general love for the people around him and humanity as a whole - also served in part by the 3 characters from the previous arcs being largely absent in his. but what REALLY gets me is that. platonic love is the penultimate arc; it’s right before self-love!! his relationship with rossiu is the one that challenges simon before he’s capable of achieving his final form; it’s essential to who he is and it’s necessary for their victory and it’s just. so damn important. and i don’t think it was intentionally made this way or whatever, it’s just something that makes it easy for me to connect with the show personally. so i think it’s neat!!

[antimnemonic]

there was a guy on /m/ some years ago asserting that ttgl is getter arc fix-it fit (semi-true) and more specifically that? lord genome? viral? were expies of kamui

and like i think the whole conspiracy theory is a lil insane and i don't really believe it, sometimes looking at viral tho it's really like. that's kamui lol.
