The further I get into season 2, the more it becomes apparent to me that Mikazuki has some self-worth issues.
Insane ramblings and heavy spoilers for IBO under the cut, be warned.
He seems like the type of person who’s self-worth is defined by how useful he feels to those he cares about. His dream is to become a farmer, but despite his repeated attempts, his crops mostly just wither and die. He tries to educate himself, but he struggles more with reading and writing than other other kids. And when people point out how he’s improved, he downplays his progress. It feels like he’s kinda given up on his dream of becoming a farmer and being anything other than Tekkadan’s (Orga’s) strongest soldier.
Mika still wants to become a farmer, but he doesn’t seem to think that it’s truly feasible for him. So he leans harder into what he’s already good at: fighting. This adds an interesting element to his relationship with Kudelia. As her life’s goal is to create a world where children aren’t exploited for conflict and wars are prevented. Mika doesn’t know how he’s supposed to exist in Kudelia’s world, cause he is a direct product of the current world, where wars happen and children are raised to fight them. In Kudelia’s world, people like Mikazuki don’t exist, which leaves him in an awkward spot—at least from his pessimistic perspective.
So all of this just leads him back to Orga. His relationship with Orga is wrought with some serious codependency issues, but it’s where he feels the most useful, as he’s been Orga’s muscle for as long as they’ve known each other. Orga’s always ending up in a fight with someone too big for him and Mika’s always gonna take that person down regardless of the consequences to himself. This is their cycle and eventually it’s gonna hurt Mika in a way that will make his dream harder to achieve. But like I said, it’s where he’s the most useful and he considers himself a lost cause anyway.
I just think it’s…sad how everyone, including Orga, seems to have more faith in Mikazuki’s dream than he does.
#I just want my boy to live on a farm happily with his gfs#but I don’t know if he’ll give himself the chance before he destroys himself#I just hope before the end he realizes that he has value to the people who love him beyond what he can do for this materially#especially in Kudelia and Atra’s eyes#mobile suit gundam#iron-blooded orphans#mikazuki augus#meta#me rambles#“I love Gundam so much” he said through the tears#ibo spoilers

Some new pictures of MG Vidar from a recent event have gone up at Gundam Info. Glad to see they have overcome the vital engineering challenge of 'letting it high-kick', which as we know is essential to accurately replicating this particular mobile suit.
#gundam#gundam vidar#world's best disguise#master grade#gunpla#I can never get over how *this* is the 'suit to get the traditional 'gundam rifle'#that is certainly a design choice#also there is a bunch of other physical product reveals that I am sure will be of interest to people who collect beyond IBO

McGillis Fareed did a lot wrong, but if you saw everything that happened with Almiria and concluded that he was the problem and not a result of the problem, you missed the point
#gundam ibo#mobile suit gundam iron blooded orphans#mcgillis fareed#tw implied csa#this show is about how unjust systems exploit children#in mcgillis' case it's how rich and powerful adults get away with doing terrible things to children#he is a VICTIM of that system#he did not have a choice in that arranged marriage any more than Almiria did#it was decided by his father and Gallus Bauduin#he did not want it#he clearly hates it#but he does still care about Almiria#in spite of everything that happens he never treats Almiria the way his father treated him#she's one of the few people he's honest with#is he using her as a pawn? yes#does he have any sort of romantic interest in her? hell to the no

rewatching the palisade intro amv (for my agonies) and got absolutely emotionally kneecapped by all of the ibo clips that I had forgotten were in there which does mean it's feeling normal abt ibo o' clock. rip tekkadan you would've loved millennium break
#orga and jesset should be friends. homies who kiss each other good night even#also i think it would be good for all of them to hang out with levi#cannot remember if i've posted this or just thought abt it a lot but i do keep a list in my head of gundam characters who'd thrive in fatt#but many people in ibo are very high on that list#dreaming.txt

the one thing I'm sad about gwitch is that there were so few moments where Suletta went apeshit
like, yeah, unfiltered Permet Score 5 Calibarn vs dozens of Gundnodes and Aerial was cool too, but it would've been nice to see more of the Suletta that danced through the entirety of the Grassley team for a little bit more
alas, episode constraints
#pic there because its what made me think about this#its prolly one of the few things IBO did right but i guess they swung the other direction#and yes this is basically a request for more WOW COOL ROBOTS scenes#unrelated trivia but the OG Aerial kit had red eye stickers and had people speculating what that meant#its unfortunately just some extra bits cut out like how the Lfrith Ur/Thorn coffin antennas were listed as beam cannons in the kit manuals#but man. if we actually had 50 episodes for gwitch...

Scrolling through the GWitch tag makes me realize that if Mikazuki IBO and Orga IBO had a more dynamic relationship, the show would have done numbers here.
#granted i missed the watch as it airs bus for IBO#and it seems like a lot of people love those two galljarhorn lads + ein but their chemistry is shit#cat forms cant salvage that#id say 'more dynamic and toxic relationship' but reading comprehension on this webbed site is piss poor#and people may attribute 'toxic' to Gwitch and not IBO

Mikazuki loves Atra and Kudelia so much and so purely, but his life as a child soldier has left him so traumatized and emotionally stunted that he doesn’t know what to do with that love most of the time. So he’s just confused by them. Confused by what they see in him, cause he views himself as a weapon first and foremost. Everything else is just a dream he gave up on.
But that moment at the end of episode 44, I think he finally stopped trying to understand it. When confronted with a crying Atra, confessing her unconditional love for Mika and her fear of losing him, he just hugged her. He can’t understand her or Kudelia’s love for him, but he doesn’t want them to cry, so he’ll stop trying to understand and instead try to return that love.
Mika doesn’t know what he can be in a world without fighting, but he knows that they’ll accept him into their lives regardless.
#they all love each other so fucking much man#which is what makes Mika’s self destructive habits hurt all the worse#before Atra confessed he probably had never thought about how his recklessness made them feel#he gives so much love unconditionally and yet can't comprehend people loving him unconditionally in return#sometimes you just have to accept that people love you even if you feel like a burden to them#I just#I want my ot3 to stay safe ya feel me?#mobile suit gundam#iron-blooded orphans#mikazuki augus#atra mixta#kudelia aina bernstein#ibo spoilers#me rambles#meta

(( @red-head-courage said:
"And Who Are You?"
Send “And Who Are You?” and I will respond with either an under-used, unfamiliar, or otherwise brand new Muse. // accepting
The boy looked up from his place on the scratchy cot he had been resting on. It was odd someone would be calling on him that he didn't know. He used his good arm, ( the left one ) to kind of push himself as much as he could on his side to see them with his good eye, blinking ( also on the left side ).
"You want to know?" He queried back in a soft voice, dark fringes falling into his face. He wished he could fully sit up, to better greet them, but his whole right side was completely useless... Unless he was hooked up to the Gundam. Sighing, he tried to half roll over, but the attempt was futile -- he should have called Eugene to haul him into a chair, but the point was moot. He'd stay where he was.
Taking a breath, he finally replied to the person standing there in the doorway. "Mikazuki Augus, a member of Tekkadan." Straight and to the point, that was how he was.
Mikazuki Augus of Sunrise's ( MOBIlE SUIT GUNDAM IRON-BLOODED ORPHANS )

This is kind of why I kind of wish the 1% theory of fandom was common knowledge. When your community gets larger, the amount of shitty people in your space will increase proportionately, and 5 shitty fans in a 500 person fandom are easier to ignore and/or contain than 50,000 shitty fans in a 5,000,000 person fandom.
Voltron was something else, though. I don't think human beings were built to handle 8 seasons in 2 years. 🌺
a lot of people especially youtube drama channels will act like certain fan bases are bad because of something inherent to them that somehow makes them worse than other fans of anything else when pretty much the whole time it's because said thing is just very popular not because it has some magical property of generating shitty behavior. there have been multiple instances where something i like started out as fairly niche and then explodes in popularity and every single time that happens the experience of being in the fan community gets significantly worse
#other people's stuff#If I could time travel I'd go back to 2017 and tell 19yo me to watch Iron Blooded Orphans as it was airing instead#Girl what were you doing....... the antagonistic purple guy in IBO gets to live lol watch that shit immediately

The Igbo people (English: /ˈiːboʊ/ EE-boh,US also /ˈɪɡboʊ/ IG-boh; also spelled Ibo and historically also Iboe, Ebo, Eboe,Eboans,Heebo;natively Ṇ́dị́ Ìgbò) are an ethnic group in Nigeria. They are primarily found in Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo States. A sizable Igbo population is also found in Delta and Rivers States. Ethnic Igbo populations are found in Cameroon,Gabon, and Equatorial Guinea, as migrants as well as outside Africa. There has been much speculation about the origins of the Igbo people, which are largely unknown.Geographically, the Igbo homeland is divided into two unequal sections by the Niger River—an eastern (which is the larger of the two) and a western section.The Igbo people are one of the largest ethnic groups in Africa.
