#eevee q&a

[the-eeveekins]

Can you expand on how they are implied to be closer offscreen than what is shown?

It's mostly in background details in a couple episodes!

First, episode 4: Miorine invites Suletta to stay in her room overnight to help her with her upcoming test (In the novel it's stated that Suletta doesn't yet have a dorm and has been staying at an on-campus hotel). We get a good look at her room (it's actually pretty small) during these few scenes, but looking around, it becomes clear that there is only one bed in the room, and during their conversation that night, when the camera angles back towards the living space, there isn't a 2nd mattress set out.

So they almost certainly shared Miorine's bed that night.

Episode 8: After the founding of GUND-Arm Inc, Miorine starts researching the GUND Format and the history of GUND technology. We see her lying in bed, looking at her phone, with TWO tablets on the bed around her. One is hers, but the other? It could only be Suletta's. And by this point Suletta is living at the Earth House dorms, so she's still coming by to spend nights in Miorine's room even while having her own place to sleep. We don't see the room itself or where Suletta is in this scene, but they may still be sharing Miorine's bed.

Episode 19: In the aftermath of the last two episodes, Suletta is shown lying in bed, burying her face in a pillow. But she's lying the wrong way, with her feet at the top of the bed with another pillow, presumably the one she normally sleeps with. The other pillow? Probably Miorine's, and Suletta is burying her face in it because she finds Miorine's scent comforting.

The girl's dorms at Earth House show 6 bunks, with one pillow each. Suletta, Nika, Chuchu, Lilique and Aliya account for 5 occupants, leaving one spare bed (and pillow). Miorine is almost definitely doing most of her GUND-Arm Inc. work out of Earth House, and she probably spent nights there, sleeping in the spare bunk. Suletta, hurt and seeking any sort of comfort, steals Miorine's pillow from her bunk to take into bed with her.

Most of the investigative work from this I got from these two tweets.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to take Suletta & Miorine's relationship the way it's presented in the show, and the pace at which it develops, at face value. But in light of Bandai's statement regarding their relationship, and some of the rumors (like the kiss scene), I feel like it's safe to say that Bandai suppressed the way the staff was allowed to depict their relationship.

Showing Suletta & Miorine sharing a bed, even in a completely chaste manner, was probably a no go. They definitely weren't allowed to show them kissing, saying "I love you" to each other and obviously the word marriage and the actual wedding were off limits.

So instead we get little background details like this showing they're closer off-screen than we're allowed to see. We get scenes in episode 11, 17 and 22 that are clearly supposed to be a confession, proposal and kiss, but the wording had to be changed and the kiss had to be changed to a more subtle intimate interaction. They couldn't show a wedding, have anyone say the two were married or have them call each other wife, so the staff added the "Sister-in-Law" line to make their marriage explicit without drawing Bandai's ire.

Personally, I think the staff wanted to have them kiss AND show the wedding on screen, but were stopped by Bandai. There's clearly some foreshadowing to a kiss in S1, especially with El5n almost kissing Suletta, and I wonder if they were originally going to kiss in episode 11. Their marriage and wedding is built up throughout the show, starting from the very first episode, and in episode 17 Suletta clearly talks about how she wants to have a ceremony with pretty dresses and matching rings. And just look at some of the artwork some members of the staff drew in the "unofficial" staff artbook showing Suletta & Miorine married or being intimately close once they were off Bandai's leash.

And then there's the song "The Way We Wanna Go", an absolutely beautiful song with a title befitting a couple moving forward together. It's got vocals by Clara Sorace just like The Witch From Mercury, Aerial Rebuild, Quiet Zero and Liberation From The Curse, all major themes for major moments in the show, but The Way We Wanna Go wasn't included in the show. I personally believe it was going to play during their wedding at the end of the show, but the wedding was replaced by the epilogue and the song was replaced by Houseki no Hibi in the process.

"vibing at sea" just a nice soft sumi ink painting of some vaporeons doing mermaid shit, as they do (i assume?? XD) this was a patron reward painting, normally i do a sumi ink layer first to get grey scales down and then go over in watercolors (i find it gives the watercolors a really rich base and lets me get nice saturated colors) but i really liked how it looked as just an ink painting and left it. You can get such nice tones with sumi ink and the greys are so warm and cozy, idk. it's also just a pleasure to render water in (i experimented a bit with smudging it with a paper towel to get a sort of water vapor look)

hey! i hope this isnt weird to say but i really appreciate your posts and analysis on gwitch - i find your opinions & explanations very reasonable especially as someone who also has a special love for the show (and sulemio!) due to personal reasons

i get really frustrated sometimes with randomly coming across hate and feeling like i have to "justify" my love for the series (having to say the "i know it isnt perfect BUT" disclaimer every single time gets really tiring after a while) but reading your posts abt it makes me feel better & even helps me contextualize my own feelings towards series!

also idk if this is a comfort or anything (and youre probably already aware of all this) but for what its worth, at least in the online circles i frequent, and to new viewers who didnt engage in any online discourse prior to watching the show the general consensus seems to be "yeah gwitch was pretty good :)" and i do think that has to say something abt the quality of the show. and even if it doesnt i feel happy when i remember there are people like you who love the show even more than i do :D so thank you and i hope you have a good day - week - month - year - forever ❤️

Thank you for your message! 💙 I'm really glad that people enjoy my posts and analysis on G-Witch, especially since sometimes I worry that I come off as someone who won't get over this show (I won't). I likewise have a special love for this show, which is why the frequent misunderstandings about it from parts of the fanbase drive me up the wall. 😅

But you're absolutely right, and it's something I think has gotten lost over time. Whenever G-Witch comes up, there is a tendency for people to bring up their problems with it, rather than what they liked about it, and it gives off the illusion that it's more unpopular or divisive than it really is. I know few people who outright dislike it, most fans I come across at least enjoyed it, if not loved it.

I only hope that someday the conversation about G-Witch can shift more towards appreciating it for the show it was trying to be versus criticizing it for not being a show it wasn't trying to be. 😭

( @eeveeloutioncafe ) Cashmere: I brought coffee for y'all professors. If you don't want coffee, don't worry, I have a garbage disposal brother at home, he practically will eat and drink anything he can get his eyes and paws on.

Personally, the pastel one with the flower embroidery is a nice touch but the brown one’s just as nice. Loungefly make such awesome bags and backpacks but they so darn expensive. Selling certain merch at such a ridiculously high price are mainly the reasons we hardly have such nice things… 😮‍💨
