By the way, what character assassination were you talking about in the notes of my poll? I'm really curious
Was kind of talking around it there a bit intentionally but he really did dirty my boy Scrappy Doo : (
(Gunn wrote the live action scooby doo movies)
#leave him be hes a mildly annoying cartoon 10 year old like plsss#ppl associate his introduction w other bad decisions at the time made by writers and ppl in production. also his writing was bad and#overrelied on catchphrases and repeated actions hes actually good when hes in better written stuff#like jfc hes actually a really fun and interesting character concept just with not great execution in most of his stuff#like the sheer vitriol directed at him online and irl is insane. like the fact that theres a literal executive ban on using him in projects#is so bs especially when there are directors and movies where they genuinely want to use him (13th ghost of sd)#like hes literally not allowed to be protrayed positively you can only make quick meta jokes abt how much he sucks or not mention him at all#like give my boy a break he doesnt deserve this#anyways this links to james gunn specifically bc of his portrayal and that movie and starting the trend of bashing him but also bc it was#literally so unnecessary that gunn did that. like he hadnt been used in over a decade at that point and brought him back as a disgusting#creature just to fulfill his childhood vendetta or whatever. and 20yrs later he still cant be used bc of it#also a note to everyone: its late and i have to wake up in three hours to do shit so if anyone decides to start shit on my blog im gonna#block you. im tired and dont gaf i dont want to deal with 'jokes' rn no matter how funny you think they are 👍#not targeted at any one in particular just a general warning

I'd foam at the mouth for nsfw hcs. Tbh, I have a slam dunk blog too and I'm nervous to post nsfw hcs. They have a whole bunch of time skips but like, anons are ruthless 🤣
I decided ill do it 😭 but this will probably be a one time thing. And i will delete any nsfw asks. Also I don’t feel comfortable with doing something specific or like really nsfw
I’m around the characters ages btw. So im not no pedophile!!! 😭😭😭😭
sd characters during sex
sakuragi
Tumblr media
One thing about Sakuragi THAT MF WAITING UNTIL MARRIAGE OR AT LEAST A VERY LONG TIME. For him he’d see sex as something really special and intimate, and he wouldn’t do it with someone he isn’t sure he will be around for a long time. Ofc he’d think about from time to time but he won’t act on that
I feel like he’d either be really big or really small. No in between 😭😭😭😭
He’d be soooo ass at sex omfg. Like yk the phrase “minute man” THATS LITERALLY HIM. Honestly I doubt he’d even last a whole minute. Hanamichi would be so embarrassed with himself 😭 if he ever brought it up with his gang they’d roast tf out of him
I think he’d try to get better at it and learn, although his s/o is definitely gonna have to teach him and be willing to work through it
sendoh
Tumblr media
Tbh I feel like Sendoh has somewhat of a neutral view on sex. Like he wouldn’t think it’s something meaningless, but he also wouldn’t put it on a pedestal.
He wouldn’t do it with just anyone, he’d have to have an emotional connection with the girl. He wouldn’t have sex with a girl until she’s ready/she initiates it.
And if/when you do, YOURE IN FOR ITTTTT. Ofc he does think about sex but he controls himself. BUT NOWWWW he’s gonna use all that pent up energy on you 😂
We all know he’s a very observant kind of person, and his main priority would be giving his girl pleasure. He’d observe how you react to certain things and switch things up accordingly. Literally #1 munch LMFAOOO. AND WE ALL KNOW HE HAS SOME IMMENSE STAMINA so you’ll likely be the first to tap out
He’d be really good with aftercare too. He’d clean both of you guys up and cuddle and watch a movie with you
miyagi
Tumblr media
Like Sakuragi, Ryota also really values having sex with the right person. He wouldn’t initiate it whatsoever until his girl does first. And I don’t think he would even go with it until wayyy into the relationship
He would be scared shitless of finishing quick 😭. Like he’d do everything in his power for that to not happen. Switching positions often, avoiding looking at his partner, etc
YK WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT SHORT MEN. They compensate for the missing inches in their height with something else!
I think he’d really put alot of effort and care into foreplay. He’d be very attentive to his partner and ask if what he’s doing feels good, if she feels uncomfortable in any way, etc.
Before he does whatever he’s going to do, he’ll make sure to specifically ask her “Just to make sure, you’re ok with this?” and if at any point his partner says to stop, that mf is immediately stopping.
If his partner were to suggest he try anything new, he would take the time to look it up and research a little HAHAHA

my sds theory
Tumblr media
OK, so my theory talks about why Meliodas has blonde hair and why him and Zeldris have green eyes. They have those genes because they had a mother. A queen of demons. Now this might sound like speculation but I have many reasons. Number one: their eye color.
For this part I need you to name all the characters that are demons and have an original eye color. The only ones that should have popped up in your mind must have been Meliodas, Zeldris, Tristan, Gloxinia, Drole, and Estarossa.
Gloxinia and drole are from different races being gigant and fairy. Tristan is a nyphilim so he has 2 eye colors. Estarossa because he is Mael. But what about Meliodas and Zeldris?
In the prisioners of the sky movie, we meet Solad, and alternate Meliodas. In that universe Solad’s dad mentions that Solad’s mother had died at the hands of a red demon. And since this in a parallel universe, then that means that in put sds universe, Meliodas had a mother and since the roles are reversed she was killed by a goddess.
but….why would I think that?
Let me ask you, what was the reason the demon king and the supreme deity started the holy war? Because they hated each other? That’s a stupid reason. Plus, Chaos was sealed away so no problem with that.Or maybe, perhaps, because the goddesses killed the queen of demons. It makes perfect sense. The goddesses killed the queen of demons as a declaration of war. The demon king accepted it and so the holy war started.
But why kill her?
well it was because…
she was a Druid
As it is says in the fan made wiki “At some point in time, they broke a treaty with the Demon Clan, and even slaughtered many women and children they were holding as prisoners of war.[3]”
and also “3,000 years ago, the Goddess Clan constantly clashed with the Demon Clan due to the bitter rivalry between the Supreme Deity and the Demon King due to their innate "purpose" of maintaining a balance between light and darkness.” this refers to Meliodas’ mother. before there was a full clan of druids in Britannia, but they went extinct. Now the only ones that were left as we see in the anime were Zaneri, and Jena.
Maybe, Meliodas’ mom was a Druid that fell in love with the king of demons. But the goddess clan didn’t forgive her after finding out about her relationship with the demon king. So, when they had a chance….they killed her as a declaration of war to the demons. And so, creating the first holy war.
it was all the supreme deity’s plan….
Well that’s it’s for the theory. I might be wrong idk, I spreally don’t care. But it was fun making this theory and going ape mode while telling it to my friend at school (she also watches the SDs and thinks the theory makes sense). So there that’s it for today bye!

Worreldane and merlin
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So if the theory that Merlin in lions is true
Why not contact any of the other sins especially meliodas and Elizabeth
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Maybe she that afraid of chaos,or maybe something else happened maybe Merlin got turn old by chaos or someone else like Worreldane
It been said that maybe Worreldane from merlins old home that the SD and Dk destroyed
Other think Worreldane and Merlin were students under demon clan/ of gowther
Other think she one of Merlin former students
Worreldane said to be an old mage ,so if that's true she could maybe be one of the 3 things I mentioned
If she upset with merlin do to 2 things ,Merlin getting there home destroyed,or her being a former student of Merlin she may hold a grudge against her like Vivian does
So I can see these two possibly fighting in the future and I'm sure we'll get more on the white witches backstory since she seems like such an important character who's linked to Merlin from what Elizabeth said and one of the recent chapters
She could possibly be an old friend of Merlin's or like I said a student and she could possibly cited with Arthur wanting to seek out Merlin and get revenge on her but I don't think she's letting the revenge part be known or she could just be seeking out Merlin for one other purpose and maybe that's why she cited with Arthur because they're both looking for Merlin
I actually hope we get to see more interactions between the two in the future
I especially think that Worreldane may have some hitting agenda we might not know about this is just me guessing at this point but she could be the character that could be a standing for Arthur's sister who's always appeared and aetherian legends Morgana or in some versions Morgan lafaye , Arthur's sometimes biological sister through uther penragon, and in some versions she's Arthur's half sister through his mother queen igdeg
Cuz I'm not sure if we'll see Morgan lafaye in 4 knights or not or maybe we will because in some versions of some stories like even in some of the green night stories and even in the green night movie we're going to lafaye was Gwaine mother instead of mordreds so we might not even see Mordred in this story
I would be shocked if we maybe see
Worreldane turn on Arthur and try to take him out is a way to get revenge on Merlin because if there's a possibility she wants revenge on Merlin what better way to get revenge on her then taking out something she takes so much pride in and put so much effort in for 3000 years Arthur and chaos itself
Even though we've only seen her only a little bit in the story I wouldn't be shocked if something like this happened I'm hoping we do get some twist like this where we end up finding out we have to fight her for some reason at some point in the future I think it'd be an interesting thing to see in the story but I'm also thinking some other things will happen with Worreldane down the line I don't think she going to die but will play a bigger role in the funeral especially if she ends up fighting Merlin in the future
Tumblr media
We see that she's there along with Arthur and the other four evils but we also see in the cloud of smoke to the left a silhouette in the smoke that could possibly be Merlin

I love you Transformers, but even SD Gundam Force has a depiction of an APS (active protection system) in it. I'm talking about the specialized guns on certain tanks, military trucks, and ships that detect missiles and destroy them at a distance (hard-kill system), and about flares or laser systems that confuse heat-seeking missiles (soft-kill system.)
In real life, missiles are super destructive. they don't dramatically miss when fired at point blank so protagonists can leap away from explosions.
There's air to surface missiles, surface to air missiles, air to air missiles, surface to surface missiles, it's pretty much missiles all around. Some can pierce tanks easily, to the point where reactive tank armor is designed to explode with an opposite force when struck, negating some of the blast.
It's not WWI okay, modern air dogfights are some guy firing missiles at you and it's not like TV where you Dodge the Missiles. Air superiority planes have laser dazzlers and flares because infrared guidance systems are very sophisticated nowadays. Like, what do you think 'stealth aircraft' is about? Modern ordinance is so effective that the first 'defense' is not being detected or the other guy not being able to get a lock. If it's fired at all it's going to destroy something (expensive) unless it's disabled.
I understand that action shows and movies-- Transformers being one example-- do not want to depict a default lethality. Death happens to mooks, or when it's time for a Main Character to redeem their audience investment. But at this point the IP Movie Phenomenon has gone on so long and made so much money it can't help but ask adult audiences to be taken seriously.
At best most media that features 'armed conflict' is stuck in a pre-modern mindset because the current reality is depressing. It's not heroic for all sides to have 'prevent resistance or mitigation of your violent enforcement' as their M.O. Ordinary people relate to Sword Fights and Survival because we all need to use willpower every day to confront challenges in our world. But this is not that.
I could barely make it through half of the first bayverse transformers movie when I watched it recently for the normal reasons (misanthropy, misogyny, mis-everything) but given how much money the US military spent on this movie??? almost all of it is bullshit that completely ignores what the featured equipment is even FOR. The Military being Sexy but Useless IS propaganda: the public awareness is of the glamor shots, and not of the purpose or effectiveness of ganking everything with missiles.
I'm not asking for Starscream to obliterate the protagonists of a tv show with hellfire missiles that he copied. That would be boring. And I'm not asking movies or shows that are To Sell Toys to educate children on the murderous nature of war, or starting any kind of Discourse. It just amazes me that so much stuff that features Military Technology is totally disinterested in it.

forgive me for leftist-posting abt the gay movie, but the dead poets society is soooo leftist-adjacent in my mind. "mona wtf does that mean" im not entirely sure! something about rebelling against a school with such strict rules and reliance on tradition just to read poetry in the woods seems very.. path to leftism to me. i feel like i can explain better with the original dead poets so ill do that.
warning: this isnt even speculation at this point, its me making shit up about the og poets for the sake of projection + i think it would be interesting + og poets being taught ww2 propaganda is smthn im always thinking abt. if u dont agree, thats more than fine, u have literally no obligation to esp considering this barely makes sense. also this isnt meant to be informative at all so if i get shit wrong then lmk, im neither a historian nor an expert in leftism.
to specify off the bat, ive always hced keating as an avid and involved leftist, although probably not publicly. is there any merit to this? absolutely not, it's entirely just me projecting, so take this with a heaping spoonful of salt.
so, around the time the original dead poets society was formed, we were in the sorta beginning of WW2 (if we assume the dps was founded in 1941, definitely couldve been later. u should read @pencileraser1's post about keating.), and if ur familiar with US history, propaganda surrounding the war was RAMPANT, most commonly in the form of "we want u to join the military!!!!1!!!!" ive mentioned this in a previous post from however long ago that pro-military propaganda was so rampant that they often taught it in schools, no doubt especially so in private schools. now this could ultimately mean nothing in relation to the og poets, they so easily could have eaten it up and thought nothing of it, they did essentially just do homework in the woods. but in my joe biden's america ass brain thats not how it goes, just cuz. to me its sort of a pipeline of start to rebel by forming the dps > slowly realise after talking that the things theyre teaching u in terms of "rahhhh military!!!" is kinda fucked up > growing distrust of us military in general > something something US wasting money on weapons and war and shit > something something anti capitalism.
is this a stretch? absolutely, but it makes sense to me so thats what matters. also the leftist-ness?? exists on different spectrums in my mind, ranging from being against US military propaganda being taught in class to straight-up socialism (keating socialist...) so definitely dont take this as the dps being some sort of mini socialist party, in my mind its just a group of boys who happen to agree abt some aspects of society (hah). i also dont think this translated to any permanent ideals for a majority of the og boys, especially since anti-capitalism didn't exactly mix well with the cold war, the red scare, and all variants of etc after WW2 ended. except for keating, keating stays a socialist, CPUSA and eventual SDS keating (if he chose to stay in the US) are real to me.
now, would this translate to the reprisal of the dead poets (the movie ones)? i doooont think so? originally i was gonna say this only applies in my mind when the US is at war, but the US is kinda always at war, sooooooo. lets just say it applies when the US being at war is sort of a main concern to the general population (ex both world wars, vietnam, war on terror if welton was still around, etc). as to why this sorta hc only applies concerning militarism? i have absolutely no idea, probably something to do with my views on the military sorta long term leading me to my political opinions. but also! the effects that the red scare and mccarthyism definitely were still prevalent in 1959 despite soooooorta dying down around 1957. no doubt the US population's fear of anti-capitalism = ur a russian spy was still there. was that sorta thing taught in schools at that point? not sure, this is also a fictional school so it doesn't really matter and im going on a tangent. i suppose if the dps reprise continued for more than ~3 months then they could've gone down a similar path under the right circumstances? but i doubt it. although leftist neil is quite special to me. neil for SAG! neil for unionisation!
i like applying this logic to other periods, like the 60s for example (i knowwww keating was gone by then, lets just pretend, make it an au i guess) i can definitely see the poets (or some at least) delving into the hippie movement on the down-low, although its easy to call into question whether hippies were an actual group of activists or just a sort of cultural movement. again - i dont know much about the history of hippies so i dont have much to add, lets go with a general "anti vietnam war" ideology to keep things simple. sorta similar to the og poets in terms of war bad > socialism pipelines, and the SDS was formed roughly around this time? peak was in 1968-69, but thats kinda all i got. if anyone enjoys this idea and knows a lot abt that point in leftist history then definitely feel free to add anything on if u want.
in conclusion: mona hates war and the military and projects it onto the poets because they wanted to and also they had a conversation with tristan about propaganda in relation to dps. this is a bunch of random sorta points just strewn together so my apologies for how messy this is.
bonus: FANTASTIC point by @lookingglasswolf

Thoughts on JJK chapter 254 (spoilers)
Tumblr media
Like we thought, this chapter was about showing us why Kusakabe is considered the strongest first grade sorcerer and it was awesome to see the utilization of the simple domain
Everything from making his CE output higher and weakening Sukuna's attacks to putting conditions into his domain like he would the actual ones fits with everything that had been established so far
The flashbacks discuss Kusakabe's skill further but I have 2 questions now about those:
more than ever this looks like there was an actual person asking about the strongest first grade sorcerer (and previously the strongest sorcerer) instead of this being a narrative trick. Who was that person though? This could be kinda important in the future maybe.
While the flashbacks are a good way to bring dead characters back, it's again noteworthy that it's a pre-Shibuya flashback. Makes you think why Gege made sure to not show us timeskip Gojo 🤔
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's always good to see Gojo though and I did miss his blindfold.
We get another tidbit of information that students of SD have to make vows to utilize it like Miwa but Kusakabe is again extremely good at using it from all angles, even when Sukuna charges and uses his slashes without using his muscles
Sukuna is also a little shit against Kusakabe but by extending the range of his SD, Kusakabe can prevent Sukuna from forming the necessary CE output to use his world slashing cut. Sukuna himself gets cut in Kusakabe's attack
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Not gonna lie, I thought for a second that Higuruma was back in the fray until I realized that Kusakabe threw his coat at Sukuna
Some good old hand-to-hand combat. Last we checked Sukuna had Yuta's CE levels and even though that's probably lower again now, he's still on the level of a regular special grade sorcerer. Maki's wound is still afflicting him though
Tumblr media
We already saw the extended CE sword from Maki's father and it would be good if we saw more of that but we've run out of swordsmen except Yuta comes back which he might.
Tumblr media
Last chapter, we had an extreme use of shadows split between Sukuna and Maki. This chapter, probably to show how unserious Sukuna took this fight compared to Maki and how outclassed Kusakabe was, the shadows were lacking on him and Kusakabe.
But the moment Ui Ui comes to the scene not only do the shadows come, Sukuna's entire body is drenched in it, showing us perfectly just who the predator is in this scene
Sukuna going after Ui Ui is also a good tactic for how to disrupt his opponents' quick movement and potential healing of the defeated. That healing element will come back in the future at some point. I wonder if Mei MeI had been prepared to intervene for Ui Ui's sake or if this close call will have repercussions in the future
Tumblr media
And then finally! We get a kinda important guy from pre-canon! Miguel was heavily featured at the end of the movie which showed us that Gojo had come into contact with him. This is coming to fruition right now.
This could be interesting with Sukuna when they starts comparing Jujutsu from Japan to Jujutsu from overseas. Some lore drop could come next chapter
I also hope that Kong Shiu will appear again e.g. when Megumi gets into focus once more. Shiu, more than Miguel, could also bring new cursed items into the fight and he could even be a completely new player with how unaffiliated he is with the good guys
Awesome chapter and the chipping away at Sukuna plot is still going. Things that we have to look out for at the moment:
Miguel's intervention
Yuji and Choso coming back
Maki coming back
Yuta getting healed (most likely at this moment because Rika was still operational)
The Hakari/Uraume fight
Another intervention by a character fighting Sukuna, like Kirara + others to utilize her ability to the fullest

What did you think of Strange Darling?
I really don´t wanna be the kind of girl who keeps on moralizing everything or making everything out to be a political statment but I have to be honest about the fact that I really didn´t like this one. I keep seeing people praising it, calling it a piece of art and I get it, I really do, but to me it couldn´t work. First, I thought it was quite pretentious to announce it was shot on 35mm film(even though I love that format)-specially right on the start, but what brothered me the most was how it was going by the end. I was going to place two stars and a half until I saw that scene where the protagonist pretends she had been raped to get away with the murder and then the script kinda makes fun of the empathetic female officer who believes it, like...sorry, maybe I´m way too sensitive but that felt really terribily unnecessary, you know? SD has something to say about feminism and I can really picture how people would support that saying-specially with a strong protagonist-but to me it just screamed: 'victims are manipulative and fake situations to get something from it', you know? I can see incels using this as statment to support this mentality. I´m not saying it could not happen in real life, or that situations like that couldn´t exist but they´re very probably a minority-and a minority that´s not worthy to be decipted specially in media that acesses so many people like this one. That situation probably couldn´t even go further if in real life, you know? They´d probably take her to the hospital and even if they saw proof, they´d probably not count it as she commited a crime and sexual assault is really hard to prove. Also, the fact that the movie suggests woman manipulate men into giving them agressive sex-while they try to reassure they´re doing nothing wrong-just so they can simulate a rape in order to get what they want...like idk, it made me really uncomfortable. Maybe that´s the point but I don´t think its good. I enjoyed the cinematography, the acting and the action but the way it was written really delivers such a bad message. And yeah, not all movies have to deliver good messages or even have one but this one just felt so off. Please tell me I wasn´t the only one thinking this.

4 Minutes Ep 7 Liveblogging
We've only got 1 episode left after this, I fully am expecting shit to go off the rails here.
Yeah this is about what I expected from Tonkla and Dome's dad. All those people who were thinking Tonkla killed the cat were fucking stupid, I'm not afraid to say it. Poor kitty.
Tonkla shoving his dad down the stairs is so deserved.
not this guy putting a sketchy-ass sd card into his computer...don't u know anything about cybersecurity. but corrupt cops ARE stupid.
Win is so funny with his "we'll go to the media to apply pressure and get justice" like awww. he's trying.
Tonkla seeing the cat. my babygirl is Unwell.
Win is a dumbass for not backing things up. Jane from Manner of Death would be so disappointed.
Crabcatcher Guy coming in clutch i KNEW he was gonna have a backup copy he was smart.
lmao of course Great's parents are fleeing the country. of course. and leaving their sons behind!
Lukwa/Den is very cute, conceptually. poor Den dropping the cookie when she revealed she had a boyfriend :( but then the slick reveal that she's Single Now...i like them!
Poor Tyme regretting the last words he said to Great.
"sometimes we can resolve lingering feelings, anyway, be right back here's my research into cardiac arrest and seeing 4 minutes into the future" or whatever...DEN. Den are you telling Tyme to go have a heart attack so he can make up with Great in his head. What the fuck. The joke about Den being a supernatural creature causing it becomes more valid. I know he's really probably pointing to Lukwa's statement about hearing her boyfriend's voice and it pulling her out but my first reaction was funnier.
Bible in the hospital bed, Jes holding his hand...I've seen this movie before! And it made me sad!!!
"can you forgive me Great?" THE TEA CUP MESSAGE. THAT WAS TYME TALKING TO GREAT IRL! no wonder it didn't mesh!
oh shit, killing Granny in cold blood while he's facetiming her. Yikes Forever.
ugh Great's dad is such a snivelling weak little man piece of shit. "Korn's mom couldn't help me :( i really want to divorce her :(" like Fuck Off. Great's mom was totally mob connected pre-everything wasn't she. that's gonna be the reveal here that those investors are the mob.
Well, it's Tyme's parents who own gambling dens so like...Yeah I was right.
Awww Babby!Great looking over Tyme's shoulder to see his Gameboy. with cartridges! it really is the past... And Babby!Great being scared of a tiny chihuahua...very cute. Baby Tyme really does look a lot like Jes...that's some good casting.
fucking back at 11:00 again. now Tyme's reliving the past, how the turns have tabled.

Ok, I finally have time to look into this. The last couple days have been... a lot. Anyway.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A screen shot of Elaine from Grudge of Edinburgh. You're right, her wings do look more physicals, and they seem to lack the glow. You're also right that they still seem to lack veins, as we can clearly see though every part of them.
Tumblr media
And just to reinforce one of my original points. It's a little hard to see because of the bar at the bottom, but you can see that even on this model, and from this wonky-ass angle, he wings don't divide into four. She only has one set of wings. (unrelated to wings, I'm also curious why Elaine is clearly naked but they make to point to have Ban wearing pants when he gets up...Like why have her clearly naked if you're going to pretend they weren't just fricking?)
Now, Elaine isn't in this movie for very long, so this is all I've got to work with, but I'm gonna compare her wings to actual butterflies to see if we have any wiggle room.
Of course butterflies don't usually have transparent wings but they do sometimes have wide veins or makings that make the veins look wide, so they have an appearance similar to Elaine's wings. Other butterflies also have very thin veins that are hard to see.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There are also moths that have complex wing designs that make the veins difficult to see.
Tumblr media
And here is a "common grass butterfly" which is yellow and it's wing veins are the same color as the membrane so they're nearly invisible.
Tumblr media
However it's still not see through. There are see through butterflies, called glasswing butterflies, but...
Tumblr media
The veins are all very much visible.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Except these two, but they're both fake...
So in conclusion...Still no idea what's up with Elaine's wings...Though her GoE model makes a slightly stronger case for the darker yellow part being thick veins for otherwise the cartilaginous part of wings, that are just...thinner? So they're see through? Or maybe her wings are just entirely magic for some unexplained reason... Like the ears. That's never explained either and doesn't appear to blatantly effect anything about them. Though I have a theory about that.
Ok! I've found a little down time! Let's talk about Elaine!
oof how do I do these again? It's been a little bit since the last one :p
Other wing analyses Dahlia Helbram Gloxinia Harlequin
So, a few days ago I made a post talking about the general structure and material of Fairy wings. In that post I went into how the vein structures of different Fairy's wings effect how the wings move. I was mostly focusing on Helbram, Harlequin and Gerheade in that post, mentioning Gloxinia and Elaine only passingly. That resulted in a strange error.
I assumed Elaine's wings were comparable to Harlequin and Gloxinia because I knew that had a butterfly-like appearance, and they do, but there's a glaring difference I overlooked.
Elaine's wings don't appear to have any veins at all.
Tumblr media
Here are images from various media. The manga, the anime, art design for a grand cross outfit and two images from grand cross that I took myself. Is the second one I previewed a cosmetic I don't have to give her shorter hair so we can see her wings better.
The design is consistent across the board. Her wings don't have veins at all. I suppose it could be argues that the yellow part is the structure, so she'd have particularly thick veins essentially. Except that's not consistent with any other Fairy's design and, as you can see from the following image -which is part of grand cross' current title screen- the yellow part is just as transparent as the white parts.
Tumblr media
It's a little tough to see but you can see her hair, butt and ankle through that closest wing.
Another oddity is that she only have the one set. Unlike an actual butterfly, or butterfly-winged Fairies like Gloxinia, who have an upper and lower set. That's consistent across all the images as well, the wings don't divide into upper and lower sets, each of the two wings is a single piece.
Her wings also clearly glow. We don't see this with any of the other named Fairies and I can't think of any background Fairies off the top of my head that have this effect either. There are instances in the anime where the entire Fairy is glowing, but never just the wings.
So in short, Elaine's wings are very weird, and basically break all the rules so I...am not super happy ):
It seems like Elaine's wings might just be 100% magic, rather then having any physical component at all. Which raises a lot of questions I don't know how to address. Maybe? Because she seems to be totally unique in this. I don't think any other Fairy we see in the whole series has wings anything like this. I don't know what that means either.

Tell me about Gundam?
Aight, so I'm gonna kinda ramble a bit then. Hope you do not mind.
So Gundam is a well-known mecha anime franchise that aired in 1979. It was directed and created by Yoshiyuki Tomino, a director known for having bouts of depression while working on his series, often causing him to have series where a lot of the major cast dies and earning him the nickname "Kill 'em All Tomino". Thankfully, he's doing a lot better, and you can tell because his newer works are a lot more on the happy side.
Most of the entries in the franchise at first took place in the same universe in a timeline known as "Universal Century" where people live in space colonies. The main conflicts in Universal Century stem from the fact that people in space want to be independent from the Earth government and both sides do horrible things to get their goals. Also, there is a teenager who kind of falls into the cockpit of the giant mecha and ends up becoming a soldier and experiences the horrors of war. There are other themes depending on the series, but the main theme behind most of the Gundam franchise in general is "war is bad" and "those who refuse to learn from the past are doomed to repeat it".
The Universal Century timeline is mostly made up of works directed by Yoshiyuki Tomino himself, with exception of a few sidestories in that timeline. The only two non-UC works that Tomino directed are Gundam Reconguista in G and Turn A Gundam, but it's confirmed that these two series take place at the end of Universal Century and every other Gundam timeline.
Then at one point in the mid-90s, it was noted that the viewership of UC Gundam was dropping and because of that, they started making new series that took place in alternate universes and that has since become a staple of the franchise. The good thing about these alternate timelines is that you can pretty much start from here if you want without worrying about watching something else first like you would have to with UC. The following is a list of them:
Future Century (FC) from Mobile Fighter G Gundam and its related works
After Colony (AC) from Mobile Suit Gundam Wing and its related works
After War (AW) from After War Gundam X
Cosmic Era (CE) from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED and its related works
Anno Domini (AD) from Mobile Suit Gundam 00 and its related works. The fact that it takes place in the real-world timeline is what makes 00 special.
Post Disaster (PD) from Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans
Ad Stella (AS) from Mobile Suit Gundam The Witch from Mercury
-
Then outside of that, there's a lot more other side Gundam works.
There's Gundam Build Fighters, which is more on the lighthearted side of things. I wouldn't really recommend it as a first-time watcher since it's a series that makes a lot of jokes and references to mainline Gundam works. While it's still worth a watch, I think it'd be a lot more enjoyable if you're already into Gundam. It's also pretty much a toy commercial for Gundam plastic model kits (gunpla) but it's a really good commercial. I also liked its sequel, Try, but the response varies from person to person.
In a similar vein is Gundam Build Divers. Do not watch it. Watch its sequel, Re:Rise instead. I heard Re:Rise is better.
-
Then there is the side work I am most interested in is SD Gundam. SD Gundam is short for "Super Deformed Gundam" and it's basically chibi Gundams. It originally started as a funny Gundam parody thing but grew into its own thing. There are multiple sub franchises in this franchise too, usually by putting its characters in different settings. Settings include the era of samurai, a Dragon Quest-inspired JRPG fantasy world, an American action movie, a time police squad, a bunch of cavemen, the world's loosest retelling of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the world's loosest retelling of Romance of the Three Kingdoms again but modern day and with zombies, and there's more!
Most SD Gundam works are only in Japanese, and I had to translate a lot of the information to learn about the various franchises, but there are a few works that are in English. However, I think you're missing out on a lot if you focus on only the works that are readily available in English. (This is kind of why I started writing translation threads of the various manga works. I really should get back to that.)
But yee I think that's my thing about Gundam. I hope you enjoyed it and don't be afraid to ask me about anything else!

Okay, as someone who's only interaction with Gundam has been SD world and Great Battle, is there a good point to start with the "main" series? (Is there even a main series?)
Yes there is a main series… multiple technically.
