im actually so pissed that they fridged cinta just for more vel angst and character development. i wish we saw more of cinta as just her own character in general honestly rather than just alongside vel for like a few moments. her backstory is already v intriguing and idk i just wish they expanded on that and made her into her own character in s2 like they were able to do with kleya

[bornetoblood]

i mean you've gotta cope somehow i suppose

[chorbie]

ohohohohh the deceitlings

[thepoisonroom]

all other things aside dylan's outie actually being real enough with him to admit that he had been selfish and acknowledging that dylan g. should have as much autonomy as possible over his life and fate genuinely twists of the season

sometimes I go on twitter (first mistake. never do this) and see people talking abt how char is so evil for "abandoning" haman and I'm just like. ok but he didn't do that? when they see each other again during zeta it's specifically established that he was sent away from axis in order to gather intelligence on the earthsphere (mineva says "I commend you on your years of intelligence work," haman says "I sent you to observe the earthsphere")* and it reads to me from the way char & haman interact that we are seeing the rift between them happen onscreen during ep 33

and sure, we have him talking a little bit abt not trusting her before she shows up bc he's been away for so long and doesn't know what her current goals are, but he does go into those negotiations willing to consider working with her at first, and when she talks to him she's expecting him to fall in line and Imo you see her sense of betrayal when she realizes that she's not in control of him (when he gets upset with her for how she's using mineva, she says "I believe perhaps it is you who has had a change of heart" which to me implies that she thought he was on her side until that moment and is now realizing that he is not, and then when he tries to kill her she says "so you are betraying us" which again is what you say to someone whom you did think was on your side up until that point**)

which then leads to the bit later on when the aeug does agree to work with her and she makes char beg and bow to her, as a way of reasserting her control over him even temporarily, bc to her, she is the de facto leader of neo zeon and therefore he is hers to command, and she's still pissed abt finding out that he won't answer to her or support the moves that she's making. it's not abt some supposed years-old abandonment, it's abt what she perceives as his current disobedience & betrayal

*and people love to argue that he should have stayed to lead axis anyway and that he's a bad person for not doing that and it's like. well first of all see previous. and second of all, yes, someone did need to lead axis and build a version of neo zeon that wasn't fascist, but someone also needed to be in the earthsphere to resist the growing authoritarianism of the federation, he can't be in two places at once, and he picked the task that he thought he was better suited for because he has more experience as a soldier than as a politician. and maybe that was the wrong choice and it definitely had Consequences but it's an understandable choice for him to make at that point and Imo certainly doesn't make him evil or selfish or cowardly

**her mistake (and tbh the mistake most people make when dealing with char - this is also what amuro & bright do, and kycilia, and tbh in many ways even garma) is that he will work with anyone in service of his actual aims, and people mistake that for him working for them. and frequently that will mean that he is allied with someone until either their goals change or until the situation changes such that he no longer considers working together to be the best way to reach his goals. other than his pivot from "revenge on the zabis for killing my father and co-opting both his philosophy and his political movement for their own gain" to "humanity needs to be able to reach their potential as newtypes in order to stop both the destruction of earth's environment and the exploitation & oppression of the people in space" (which tbh isn't so much a hard pivot as it is a reframing that shifts his priorities to the big picture) it's generally not actually that char is the one that changes and more that other people change around him and then wonder why he's not on their side anymore (thinking abt bright in cca being like "we were working with char to fight against the federation, why is he our enemy now, what changed" and it's like. Idk bright think abt what you just said and who you're currently working for)

Ik some fanon goes for the idea of Blue being fairly attune to queerness because of living in 300 fox way but imo while her upbringing does mean she’s aware and accepting of things like romantic love not being limited by gender or to one person more than say a lot of her classmates, she’s not actually versed on like. Labels and specifics, her perspective on LGBT is imperfect in the way a lot of her feminism is, and she also doesn’t think much about it in the context of like. High school and people in her age group, maybe as an extension of her viewing 300 fox way as this counter culture bubble separate from the rest of Henrietta. And with her pov on the boys specifically I think the funniest realest option is that because she’s never had meaningful human interaction with teen boys before this specific deranged group, although she obviously knows they are weird people who interact weirdly (that’s why she likes them) there is a lot of deranged homoerotic shit they do that she just assumes is how all teen boy friendships generally are. Also her clocking Adam in their break up scene goes even harder and is more fun to me if it was a 100% unintentional clocking so I prefer that read

I kinda wanna do a “what’s the craziest possible ending for Gquuuuuux” post but first I just needed to say I had the realisation that I think with what Shuji said this episode that Lalah’s damselness in the Gquuuuuux timeline is possibly because of the other Lalah, also I do have to acknowledge that this could be me reading into it too much but I think one particular thing supports this reading.

So I don’t know yet how much influence OS Lalah has on the Gquuuuuux timeline whether it’s just getting char the RX-78 or as Shuji implied the entire thing but if it is the latter that explains a lot.

So firstly just generally it makes sense from what we know of her, that if OS Lalah created an alt timeline the most important things to her would be Char, Amuro and the other her. Now as there’s no confirmation Haro is controlled by Amuro or even what Amuro is up to at the moment but well there is some assumptions, so firstly we know that at the very least his father is alive from the cameo in the flashback so we can assume that Amuro also exists. Secondly we know he isn’t a Gundam pilot something that arguably would be the best way to protect him, leaving him as the boy he was before he got in the robot. So it would qualify as protecting him

Next is Char, so we know from Lalah’s visions that in at least one reality likely the one OS Lalah is from, Char died in place of Lalah. So what’s the most direct way to achieve that give him white base, the rx-78 and a military-trained new type partner, or as we see in Gquuuuuux, Sodon, the alpha psycommu equipped Red Gundam and Challia Bull. Which coincidentally also achieves the goal of protecting Amuro. So so far the changes match what a distraught Lalah would do if she was restructuring the timeline, but I think the real kicker is her alternate’s fate.

So when GQX Lalah first showed up there was understandable criticism for Lalah being reduced to a damsel waiting for Char to show up. And while I do think the criticism is still valid I think it’s going to be revealed that OS Lalah is the cause. So like the big reason we get for Lalah not leaving is because she’s waiting for char like she saw in her visions of the alternate timelines, visions that caused her pain. So my theory is that OS Lalah was the source of these visions and intended for GQX Lalah to get them with a dual purpose. As not only would the visions keep her on earth waiting for char but also as a perpetual punishment that OS Lalah could both inflict and vicariously suffer.

Now yes this is a lot of speculation but I think that based on the other big change to the timeline the visions that make GQX Lalah stay on earth also being from OS Lalah makes sense. And like I know I’d have self hate issues if I knew not only that I failed to save someone I loved from someone else I loved and then also found out that there were alternate realities where I saved him. And similarly OS Lalah seems to think that total removal is either the best way or the easiest to achieve as can be seen with the total removal of Amuro. So I think that at the very least OS Lalah did intend for GQX Lalah to never meet Char, even if I’m overestimating the self punishment aspect.

Also like I think this fits because I have a gut feeling that with Yomagn’tho being above earth and char being both in his red comet outfit and the red Gundam it’s highly likely that his ending in the series will be crashing to earth just like Machu did in ep 9 and Lalah’ll pull him out and drag him off into the sunset ala Shinji and Mari in 3.0+1.0 as a sign of sorts that they’re finally charting the path they want instead of one charted by OS Lalah’s fear, sort of ties into the ideas with Nyaan and Machu about finding your paths and place in life and how that place is often someone else rather than somewhere (like Nyaan and Machu are both yearning for someone else to be with them once they reach what should be their ideal home and they’re both more important to eachother than they really realise and I think are in part the home they’re looking for) and also I think fits as a quasi happy ending for char since I doubt Kycilia will make it out of this show alive so char’ll be able to set off into the sunset knowing that the zabi’s are dead and without the trauma that eventually channels into CCA.

It has been brought to my attention that Gen-Z fangirls are re-discovering Char Aznable.
