I’m trying to give Wufei a fair shake, since I can already tell he got the short end of the story stick. 
Boy is making it kind of hard, though.

A special pair of commission pictures of Chang Wufei with a longer and looser hairstyle, reading a book and falling asleep. This was for the same Gundam Wing discord server person as the monochromatic Duo commission.

the long hair - of JUSTICE
Tumblr media
A little offering in the Quarantine Hair Memes thing I've seen going around. I might have to do My Hero Academia and Princess Tutu versions, but we'll see. Anyway, for the...like...three of you who still remember Gundam Wing, here are the five pilots aged up and with quarantine hair.

I wish I could post more of my commissioned art on here, but quite a lot of what I’ve done for the past few months is for private collectors or for ongoing projects which are still under wraps. Here’s a little Gundam Wing for you guys, though! After the Golden State Warriors won the NBA Championship someone commissioned this image. I think they look good in basketball uniforms, personally :D

Stay classy, boys! 😘💋🌹 My piece for my Gundam Wing fanbook! This was such a long haul project due to being hit with many logistical delays this year, so thank you to everyone for their support and kind patience! You can still grab a copy of the zine or a print here.

I will WIN
Every so often I see a picture -official or not- and it drives my curiosity through the roof...
Like this one.
The reference is outside my culture, so I have no idea WTF is going on here...
But why are Heero and Tro acting like they want to kill (I'm assuming Quat and Duo) someone?
What is Wufei reading?
And what are the cards, and what do they say?!?

@epyonares THANK YOU
They put the answers in their tags when they reblogged...
So now I have a game to research!

beautiful beading and patterns!
Complaining time, yeah!
Crafting has been more annoying than fun this week and I don’t like it :(
The macramé patterns I’ve selected for Trowa and Wufei deluxe bookmarks are on youtube but I had some train time this week and I thought I’d used it to make progress on the project. As Duo and Quatre pattern tutorials are with pictures, I put 03 & 05 aside. After a quick look, there was something I didn’t quite grasp with Duo so I prepared my supplies for Quatre.
Well.
I should have known nothing is ever as simple as it seems with Mr. Winner. OMG, his pattern is the actually the most complex I’ve done so far! After 7 times, I still don’t get it! (It sure didn’t help that the cord measurements were off in the tutorial but as I only had the prepared and already cut cords on me, well. That is why I did the pattern 7 times for only 6 bookmarks.). But really what annoys me the most is that I still have to look at the tutorial and at my notes, I still never get the exact same result at the end and I still don’t know why! -_-  If I ever have to make more Quatre bookmarks I’ll look for another design, this one dispirit me :(
I thought Wufei would lift my spirit up again, his pattern looked simple enough (and it is. Or the tutorial is very very well explained. or both :p). My issue is that… I’m not very good very colors combinaison (TBH I’m still unsure about the colors chosen for Quatre. I like his background paper but I’m unsure about the brown/yellow association of the cords and beads…). For Wufei I think the bright blue cord goes well with the picture and the background paper but I wasn’t so sure about the cord and the green beads. I’m even less convinced now that I’ve made the pattern once, to the point that I’ve ordered 2 new colors and now have to wait for them to arrive. Expenses put aside, what annoys me is that I’ve already braided the macramé “tail” so I’ve basically wasted a lot of cords for nothing… :(
Which brings me to Trowa and Duo. They’re using the same dark blue cord and I’m now worried I’m not going to have enough to make their 12 bookmarks. But it’s too late to add a new spool to my order (I tried to cancel it but it failed) and I also don’t want to make a separate order ‘cause I then would be charged for the shipping fees, ugh!
Anyhow, maybe the new colors would work for Trowa (which means, again, wasted cords used for the tail…) so I’ve done one Duo this afternoon… The pattern, surprisingly, is actually quite simple. Or it would have been if the tutorial measurements hadn’t been off, again! And I’m so very annoyed that I had to start it over once more because of this, despite having adding 5 cm “to be on the safe side”, only to realize at the very end the measurements are off by 15 cm! 15! That’s 6 inches, people! RAAAAAAH!
So… yeah… not a fun crafting week :( I don’t even know if I want to finish my Duo bookmarks this week-end or not, I don’t really feel like doing another type of crafting either. And it’s so cold and rainy and I only have 1 mask left that I need to keep for my grocery shopping until I come around to do a laundry load, which uuuuuuhg as well.
*Takes a deep breath*
‘S fine. Just need to find something to distract and relax myself with. In the meanwhile, here’s some pictures:

Scene analysis - Meilan's sacrifice
Get them tissues, folks. This is not gonna be pretty.
Tumblr media
When their colony gets attacked Meilan is the first one to jump into action. She takes the Tallgeese, the only available armed mobile suit, and sorties to fight OZ and the Alliance.
As we see, Master O warns her that she’ll kill herself if she uses it. But Meilan resolutely declares that she’ll fight nonetheless. She is fully aware that she might die, but she’ll still protect their colony.
That is what “I am Nataku!” means. Nataku is a guardian deity in Chinese mythology. As the Long Clan’s heiress and strongest of them, it is Meilan’s duty to protect them. If she ends up dead because her body can’t handle it, so be it.
Tumblr media
Here we see Meilan noticing the damage she is causing to her husband’s favorite field of flowers, so she decides to take the fight outside the colony to spare it.
Meaning, she willingly foregoes the advantage she had fighting in an enclosed area where she didn’t need to use Tallgeese’s thrusters as much and thus her body wouldn’t suffer as much damage, to move the battle to an open space and get her guts turned into jello with the G-forces just because she wanted to protect her husband’s reading spot.
Tumblr media
This looks like Meilan is a stubborn badass who believes in her ideals, right? Read this again with the following page in mind:
Tumblr media
For the longest time I bought into the idea that Meilan was all gung-ho about justice. But the above shows that she herself actually agreed with Wufei that there was no such thing as universal justice.
“But even so, I have to fight! That is the way of our people!”
Unlike Wufei, Meilan is the clan’s heiress. She has to uphold her people’s traditions, it’s her duty. And so is fighting for justice. So to go back to the previous pic, Wufei is dumbfounded by her response that this is a fight for justice because he knows she doesn’t believe in it herself. Yet, she is still willing to fulfill her duty even at the cost of her life.
It’s one thing to talk the talk and another to walk the walk and Meilan does it. And Wufei is floored.
Tumblr media
Wufei is rushing to get to her now because he knows this will end badly. Meilan will go all the way if she has to.
Meanwhile, we see the effects of piloting the Tallgeese and Meilan’s decision to fight outside of the colony. She has started coughing up blood. Even so, she goes Spartan and tells them to come and get her. She won’t throw the fight.
She will uphold her people’s ideals. Come what may.
Tumblr media
Look at the Tallgeese. Meilan isn’t holding back at all.
As for Wufei, he may not believe in justice but he’ll be damned if he’ll sit back while his wife gets herself killed for it. An important detail here is that unlike Meilan, he doesn’t stop to put on a spacesuit. He’s in a rush to get to her. The longer he takes, the longer she fights and the more she is injured.
Tumblr media
Wufei orders Meilan to get to safety while he takes over. Meilan is pretty surprised that he came. Also, notice how he maneuvers Shenlong to protect the Tallgeese from the shots? He knows she’s battered. Whether she is sitting in a MS made of Gundanium or not, she can’t take much more.
We also see that Wufei is an obviously adept fighter and one can’t help but wonder what would have happened if he had gotten his butt up earlier and fought OZ and the Alliance with the Tallgeese himself.
(Did I just point out the root of Wufei’s guilt issues? Yes, I did.)
Tumblr media
Wufei defeats all but the last guy who, not wanting to be a complete disgrace to Treize, rushes him with what I believe is an attempt to self-detonate in his face. What else could a Leo do? It wouldn’t destroy Shenlong, not by a long shot, but it would damage its cockpit. And guess who is out in space without a spacesuit because he was in a rush earlier?
Wufei tries to shoot the guy but he has run out of ammo. If he tanks the attack, he will die because he will be flung out of his cockpit.
This is where Meilan, who despite his order didn’t leave Wufei, intervenes.
Tumblr media
A Leo’s destructive power is often on par with a sneeze in the series, but here we see the result: a damaged cockpit. Meilan is floating in space, so we can say for sure that had it been Wufei, he would have been toast.
Meilan isn’t in a better position though. She may be wearing a spacesuit, but she was severely injured in the battle. Which she made worse in part because she wanted to protect that blasted field of flowers. So taking such a hit was just as lethal for her. Right there she had the choice: her life or Wufei’s. And she chose him.
Let us recall, Meilan is the Long Clan’s heiress. She is their future leader and the sole granddaughter of Master Long. She is also the one with a goal: to fight for justice, unlike Wufei who had no interest at all in such a fight, despite his power. No, he was a scholar who didn’t do anything in the face of unjust oppression.
She still chose to throw her life away for him.
When Wufei calls her Meilan, she insists she is Nataku. Like the guardian deity, she protected him after all, didn’t she? (That and she’s a total badass, just like Nataku.)
Meilan also knows she is dying right now. Her final wish is to be brought to the field of flowers.
Let this hit you. She wants to be in her husband’s reading spot in her last moments. Whom she once mocked for it.
Tumblr media
After all the antagonizing Wufei and Meilan presented us with all chapter, we are given a completely serene and gentle scene here. Wufei is carrying her carefully, mindful of her injuries, while Meilan reflects on the beauty of the flowers. This is the first time they see eye to eye. Meilan appreciates what Wufei values, while Wufei voices his respect and admiration for his wife’s strength.
In a moment of humility and honesty that the knowledge of one’s certain death grants, Meilan asks an important question. Since she wasn’t able to finish the earlier battle by herself, which Wufei apparently was, she timidly inquires if she had proven her worth or if Wufei was ashamed of her as his wife. Because she had once offended him in this manner by being ashamed of him for being a scholar. Until he proved he could take her in a fight.
Wufei not only tells her she was strong, but declares her stronger than anyone. That includes himself. He may be stronger physically, but there was no way he could match her spirit or nobleness.
Tumblr media
Meilan’s last words are that no, he is the stronger one before her injuries claim her and she sags against his shoulder.
Wufei, not realizing what just happened, tells her to get off him because he thinks she’s getting cozy with him. It takes him a moment to understand she isn’t leaning on him because she wants to be affectionate but because she is dead.
And if you notice, she died smiling. Meilan was at ease when she passed.

‘stomping off mad’
the game does not always indicate what it was that pissed wufei off, but he often stomps around the house with a cranky face!   lol
it would be helpful to know the reasons so that i can try to avoid it, but i guess that even the sims are allowed to have their secrets!
