I just think they should kiss maybe?

Obsessed (positive??) with the dynamic of guy who betrays his country so he can run off with the militia he's been working with because he gets a case of loyalty feelings so bad he goes and blows himself up X morally upstanding traumatic backstory woman having the worst fucking time of her life (again) who really just needs someone to be as fanatically loyal as possible to her, as a person who is really into the inherent eroticism of the hierarchical military power dynamic focus on loyalty and the use of "yes ma'am" as I love you.

Obsessed (negative) with the propaganda implications that we seem to have ignored of the fact that the three most important people in an arabic woman's life are 2 (two) white guys and her brother, who betrays her and becomes a villain in the later games, and the fucking insidious-ass narrative choice of placing one of said white guys in said militia as like, the tacit fact that this organization is ok only because the western white guys are cool with it. Stop introducing more ULF people just to kill them!!! I SEE YOU WRITERS!!! YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM ME!!!!!!

because, once again, the character dynamic? I am sick for it. He dropped a building on himself for her and then came back???? He came back???? He could have gone anywhere but he came back to her???? I'm unwell. I think I have covid. I need to go lie down.

Anyway my city now my characters now smashing them together like barbies watching that .gif of them staring at each other eighty times reading all the fanfiction goodbye

you shouldn't blow yourself up in the furnace I want to blow myself up in the furnace for you as my own personal choice and you should order me to do it because you're such a good leader what is wrong with youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrgh *gnaws on furniture*

WE DON'T EVEN GET TO SEE HIM COME BACK TO HER. THANK YOU FIC WRITERS YOU KNOW THAT REUNION MUST BE SO ANGST THE COMPLEX DYNAMIC OF SACRIFICING YOURSELF FOR SOMEONE AND MAKING IT OUT AND BACK TO THEM AGAIN!!!!!!! THE GUILT! THE YEARNING! THE LOYALTY! I AM GOING TO EXPLODE.

I love that a news report in MechWarrior 5 suggests going into battle against Wolf's Dragoons if you want to get your hands on their new prototype mechs.

Imagine CNN or whatever telling you to take on the US Air Force if you want to get a F-35 fighter jet

taking the dragonblood theory into consideration with leonard, arioch, etc. in 1.3 is so funny bc in leonards case can you imagine being caim and seeing your snivelling excuse for an ally who whimpers every time you kick around him for fun just scurry off into the woods one day and the next time you see him he snapped like 15 guys arms off and was in charge of a whole forest cult-ish refugee camp that may or may not have possibly been planning a coup against your army and your like. oh. THAT'S what it does

“Churchill Mann, Toronto, Brigadier in England At 37,” Toronto Star. July 24, 1942. Page 3. ---- Well Known Horseman Rode in Army Teams at Winter Fair ---- POST IMPORTANT --- Somewhere in England, July 24 - (CP) - Thirty-seven-year old Churchill Mann of Toronto has been promoted from lieutenant-colonel to brigadier and now is holding an important staff appointment with a Canadian overseas army formation. His career has been one of the most brilliant in the Canadian army overseas.

He came to Britain as an intelligence officer at headquarters of the 1st Division and was on the staff of the Canadian junior war staff college in England. He also formed and commanded the 8th Reconnaissance battalion and was G.S.O. 1 of a division. Recently he was a senior officer with a Canadian attack force on combined operations manoeuvres.

Starred at Horse Show Churchill Mann went overseas two and a half years ago as a captain in the intelligence branch of Canadian army headquarters. At that time his own regiment, the Royal Canadian Dragoons, had not been mobilized. His promotion was steady and rapid so that now he is one of the youngest brigadiers in the Canadian forces.

In pre-war days Mann was one of Canada’s outstanding horsemen, having ridden on Canadian army teams for several years, both here and abroad. In 1933, whle riding in military competition at the Royal Winter Fair, his mount fell on him, causing injury which kept him out of other events of that season. His wife, now living in Oakville, is the daughter of Col. and Mrs. R. S. McLaughlin, of Oshawa.

Operation Dragoon takes place in three days. Your mission is what makes it possible.

The worst part about working with the big merc units:

Eridani Light Horse. No matter how innovative the stratagem, no matter how novel the tactic, they will hear it and nod and patronizingly rattle off how it's just what Commander Blorbo did when they served under him at the Battle of Glup-7, where his entire force was slaughtered to the last.

Northwind Highlanders. As it turns out, enough Death-from-Aboves in a short enough span of time will, on more developed worlds, set off earthquake alarms, and you'll have to deal with those shredding your ears like a cheese grater until somebody finally turns them off.

Snord's Irregulars. Not the looting. They have that down to a science; it never interferes with a mission. No, it's how they eat up operational bandwidth for video calls to 'the Old Snord', because even with Rhonda running things now it's not an Irregulars operation without Cranston back-seat-driving for everyone over the comms.

Wolf's Dragoons. The pervasive identity crisis that ensures that Clanners will scold you for working with chalcas stravags, and Spheroids will side-eye you for working with a bunch of can't-believe-they're-not-Clanners.

Kell Hounds. The drive to actually build up some kind of 'company legend' for themselves beyond 'yeah, they're decent merc fighters' propels them to adopt strategies even Malvina would stop and reconsider before using.
