sorry for coming out of my rewatch obsessed with zhao ke (the gardener) but actually i'm not sorry because he rules. also listen. when xiao heng was on grampa-mandated house arrest for five years, he apparently spent all his time "listening to music and gardening". that started eight years ago. zhao ke has been a gardener for the jiang family for seven years. so i'm imagining him being i guess originally a xiao family servant maybe, and him keeping xiao heng company during his confinement and the two of them getting really into gardening together, and then him becoming xiao heng's first spy. because at least HE is allowed to leave the property. right? and xiao heng MUST have started his spy network during his confinement, or are we supposed to believe he's built it up from nothing in the past three years?? i think that would be a bit much, suspension-of-disbelief-wise. so yeah budding (no pun intended) schemer child!xh who does nothing all day except listen to music and garden had to start somewhere, and because of the gardening connection and the fact that zhao ke has been planted (no pun intended) with the jiangs for seven of the eight years since xiao heng's father's death, i think zhao ke as the inaugural field (no pun intended) agent is solidly rooted (okay i did intend this one) in the evidence.

Something I find really funny is how for all the rumors that Seed’s staff/writers don’t like Cagalli, Orb under her leadership just keeps ending up in a better (political) position with each addition - Seed Destiny ends with Logos wiped out, Blue Cosmos severely hampered, and the entire Seiran family wiped out, including Yuna. This leaves Cagalli with almost no political opposition in Orb (since the second Battle of Orb would’ve flushed out a majority of the Blue Cosmos/Logos sympathizers within the government/military), along with giving her a boost in popular and military support thanks to her actions and field leadership during the battle.

(Cutting for me just rambling on a bit about the in-universe politics after Seed Freedom)

You can tell with how much she’s managed to get done in the years between Seed Destiny and Seed Freedom - in that short year and a half to two years, she was able to propose and found COMPASS, secret away and upgrade the Impulse, Destiny, Strike Freedom, and Infinite Justice, arrange for ties between Orb and Terminal to investigate/exchange intel (Athrun and Meyrin), and put into place all the evacuation/defensive protocols in case of another attack on Orb (as seen vs Foundation and Requiem, even if she needed Kira to pull an “I lived, bitch” to Aura 😅).

And it doesn’t end there - thanks to Foundation, Cagalli arguably has an easier time internationally now, because the Eurasian Federation leadership also got hit and the Eurasian Federation, while not necessarily Blue Cosmos sympathizers like the Atlantic Federation, was very staunchly anti-PLANT, which I think would’ve caused some problems for Cagalli, especially post Seed Destiny with Lacus joining her for that broadcast.

I actually think Orb probably has fairly decent diplomatic relations with PLANT (I think Chairman Lament mostly cut off that call after everything went south in Eldore because of the whole nuke situation), especially since Lacus is COMPASS’s inaugural president, plus the time both Dearka and Waltfeld (I’m not sure if he’s in Orb or PLANT as of Seed Freedom since his silent cameo has him helping to stop the coup in PLANT in Seed Freedom) spent there. And we have a very prominent all-Coordinator team with the Yamato Team - truth be told I actually wonder how much the Earth Alliance invested into COMPASS because everything we see on screen is either contributed by Orb (Archangel, Murrue and crew, Kira, Mu, and the Murasame Kais), PLANT/ZAFT (Millenium, Konoe and crew, Heinlein, Shinn, Lunamaria, Agnes, Gelgoog, and Gyan), or arguably both (namely, Rising Freedom and Immortal Justice). Unless I missed a minor crew member along the way. Which is possible.

Also pure speculation on my part on this - but the fact Seed Freedom has Athrun going into intelligence with Terminal (which we first see as having a presence in the PLANTS) from the Orb side and Yzak and Dearka going into intelligence from the PLANT side can’t be a coincidence. I want to think the three of them decided on it together because being in intelligence/covert ops gives them the chance to work together without having to force anyone to change their current loyalties - I don’t think Athrun can be truly loyal to anyone except Cagalli after Seed Destiny, and Yzak was always loyal to PLANT, and if Dearka hadn’t been captured and made to realize how extreme PLANT had become under Patrick Zala he wouldn’t have switched sides to Orb/Three Ships Alliance during Seed either. Which also indirectly feeds into Orb and PLANT having better political relations than Orb and Earth Alliance.

Which brings me to my final point - I would be very surprised if Orb isn’t the primary target for the antagonists in a Seed Freedom sequel. At this point Orb’s capable of doing too much with the limited resources it has as a small nation with too much military strength at its command. And there is room for a sequel (setting-wise) because while Earth Alliance took another major hit with during the Foundation Conflict, the ideologies that led to the First and Second Earth Alliance-PLANT wars still exist - even if Blue Cosmos lost another leader, even if the believers of Coordinator Supremacy lost another leader (in Jagannath) those ideologies still fundamentally exist. All the Foundation Conflict did was serve to take down the military leadership of those ideologies - even if the public on both sides see those views negatively it doesn’t make them go away.

i wasnt that person but real as fuck whoever they are

also yes i stopped being a girlkisser 💔💔 shoutout to gabrjxnsmciel

Impressive. Most impressive

Can we get some researchers looking into this??

This is a potent power. Perhaps it can be harnessed.

And then we use the converted to make more gabe content, of course.

so the bit that's weirding me out (and this is not going to be a full-fledged theory i don't think bc i don't really know what to make of it) but michael seems to have a pretty bomb-ass memory, even to the point of nearly breaking the gabriel miracle:

they recollect job's kids names:

and again seem to be nearly fighting the miracle:

and yet they have no recollection of the metatron? i know that other people have pointed this out (that despite seeing his stupid shiny round floating head only a short while before, they don't remember the literal voice of god), and uriel doesn't either, but in any case - the fact that there are literal clues that they are a very powerful archangel with a very powerful/accurate memory feels like the most obvious clue that something fucky is going on with memories tied to metatron? i have heartburn

No dragon today because I worked on Fakemon instead. (amongst other things) My Regional Tangela and Tangrowth based on Kudzu! Not 100% sold on the visual design yet, I need to figure out a way to stylize the leaf-cover, but I feel like I'm on the right track.

🌿This Tangela is very friendly. It's identity is obscured by large leaves and vines that are said to never stop growing. Some people harvest their tails for food, but the Tangela don't seem to mind. Kantonian Tangela are usually seen on the ground in grasslands and forests, but this one will often climb trees and try to get as high as possible for more sunlight; sometimes it will even climb on other Pokemon!

🌷This Tangrowth is a massive walking carpet of vines and leaves. The dense, quick growing foliage of Tangrowth alongside many healing moves make it hard to overpower. The vines of Tangrowth are very useful, often being used for food, medicine, textiles and even tea. It seems to like being around humans, but not other grass types, and it has a tendency to topple them!

Do you ever hang out with someone that you could so entirely see a future with but you also know it probably won't work out so you sit quietly and revel in the time you spend together and the little touches and eye contact you share wishing for more but also knowing better?

[itssoinevitable]

I should have listened to you, Mrs Hall. You always seem to know what’s best for me.
