"i'm a simp"

deeply obsessed with this

[godhasforsakenthee]

sam getting hit with one of those "bully pretends to confess" scenarios, but sam who is so young and desperate for some kind of affection is completely blown away, someone likes him? He even lets the guy almost kiss him, but before they can, the asshole pulls back and laughs in his face, calling him all sorts of horrible names

sam can't help but cry, because he was young and he felt so stupid, he's almost out of school when a hand catches him on the shoulder and its Dean

he looks pissed as hell and demands to know whats wrong, but sam is too afraid to tell him because dean doesn't know that he likes guys and doesnt want dean to think that he's stupid for falling for such an obvious prank

but dean pries it from him eventually and in a split second sam is chasing after dean who is already on top of the asshole, beating the ever loving shit out of him

and sam's stomach is churning and he's hyperventilating, his heart is racing and his palms are sweating---not because he's horrified at how far dean was willing to go over something so insignificant, but because he just realized that he likes it

sam likes when dean is violent, he likes watching dean fuck people up for him, it satisfies the little part of him that yearns for someone to love him so thoroughly that they would kill for him

i'd say my main complaint with cca is the pacing. it doesn't have time to say everything it's trying to. jumping in en media res to after char has already begun his war on the earth sphere was the first red flag for me in that regard.

almost every character that isn't char or amuro feels like fodder. they're the barest smidge of characterization in a fruitless attempt to gain some sympathy when they inevitability and unceremoniously axed. if they're lucky they get used to develop char or amuro a bit. and maybe i could forgive this if this was actually the Char and Amuro show, but instead we spend a solid chunk of movie focusing on quess and hathaway.

the quess storyline in cca is a trite retreading of the dozen or so "newtype girl on the enemy side that has a connection with the main male child soldier and then dies tragically" plot lines we've seen way too many times except paced way too fast to actually have any emotional impact. like i was already rolling my eyes when ple2 died and that had so much more time to develop. but by cca this trope is so over done in the uc that it's actively annoying. its not that i dislike quess as a character! i know some people hate her character but i actually think id like her a lot in a different (or at least more fleshed out) story. she's the best new character in the movie and a hell of a lot more interesting than hathaway, who feels like the most nothingburger character in a movie full of nothingburger new characters. but again my main complaint with the subplot is that honestly by this point tomino did not need to rehash this again. he's already rehashed the lalah story so many times in so many ways and this one doesn't do enough different to be interesting on it's own or in relation to the char/amuro story it's latched onto. like we did not have enough time in this movie do this whole plot and the time spent on it makes the char/amuro rivalry feel undercooked, especially in the context of this being the conflict that ends their rivalry in mutual destruction.

i felt so disappointed by cca that i haven't touched anything uc set after it. anyway i embrace the incoming artillery strike.

"a crucial part of CCA is the crushing sense of bleakness the feeling that nothing is getting better that something has to change. but no single person can make that change happen! thats why we see another generation of newtypes make the exact same mistakes. the very same mistakes that char and amuro made in 79" thats four and kamille! you've just described the point of four's storyline in zeta! char and amuro practically turn to the camera and say as much! and it was great in zeta in no small part because they had multiple episodes to build this parallel and develop the characters involved! but then tomino did it AGAIN and AGAIN with other newtype girls later in zeta and in zz! by the time of cca it feels less like tomino is making a point about the cyclical nature of war and more like he can't think of anything else to say and is just falling back on an Ol' Reliable which is so worn out it isn't very reliable anymore. the repetition isn't reinforcing the point anymore, it's just undermining the impact. i'm just glad tomino got over his obsession with this point by the time of turn a. turn a is good.

So, this might come off as a little harsh, but this is an extremely surface level reading of Char's Counterattack. What follows is a little unfocused but I just have so much to say about this movie.

Char's Counterattack is a film that is almost entirely about Char. Everything that happens in it can be traced back to Char, each character reveals or reflects something about Char. We begin in media res because after the end of Zeta and ZZ we already know what Char has been through to lead him here.

Char Aznable has tried to cut out his heart for the sake of revenge in 79. He's watched not one but two movement for spacenoid liberation collapse after going rotten from with in. His protege, Kamille Bidan, the child he tasked with building a new future, was subjected to a fate worse than death to protect the future from Paptimus Scirocco. He has been a traitor, a soldier, and a demagoue for his own sake and the sake of the future. And now he is staring at the end of history, he can see everything laid out in front of him getting worse, forever. Nothing he or anyone else has done has mattered at all. So he has resolved to do something that will change something, make the current order impossible to maintain, skip to the end! We know that as soon as we hear that Amuro Ray and Londo Bell are too late to stop another one of Char's rocks from hitting the Earth.

Quess is Kamille Bidan after Kamille Bidan. She is impulsive, emotional, selfish, immature, and has a strong sense of justice. Her relationship with her parents is terrible and she's stifled by the Federation's vision of the future and herself. Char takes her under his wing in the same way he mentored Kamille, but through their relationship we see how much worse Char has gotten. He doesn't try to help her grow into a soldier or a more complete person. He doesn't have anything to give her except proximity to authority. All Char sees in her is a means to an end. He doesn't care about the future any more.

Hathaway is the Fa Yuiry to Quess's Kamille. He's sort of a newtype but all of his concerns are very ordinary. What he wants for Quess is contrasted against what Char wants, and while it is marked by an masculine chauvanism, the immature vulgarity of it heightens the contrast.

But what it really comes down to is his relationship to Amuro Ray. Char Aznable is a man of deception. He deceives is allies, his enemies, and himself. The only person he feels he can be honest with now is Amuro. Even though he has told himself that he feels nothing, that he is doing what must be done no matter what, he doesn't want to kill everyone, deep down. He doesn't want to kill himself either. At every opportunity he gives Amuro Ray the ability to stop him and to prove him wrong. He sees Amuro as his equal and he wants there to be another path!

But Amuro Ray had his life destroyed by Char Aznable. Amuro Ray has spent his life desperately reacting to whatever new bullshit Char has pulled! He has no reason to want to save Char or to give Char another chance or any of it! So Amuro ends up fighting for a status quo that is killing everyone a little slower then Char's ultimatum will. It's only a rivalry in the broadest of strokes.

I think the film is paced and constructed perfectly to communicate that. Each scene does a wonderful job of advancing this world according to Char Aznable, where everyone has petty feelings that are missing the bigger picture, where everything is meaningless, and everyone hurts each other. Where nobody even tries to understand each other any more. And at the end, during the Axis Shock, Amuro Ray finally understands why Char is the way he is! There's understanding! It averts the crisis! For a brief moment there's a way forward! It makes me cry and cry and cry!!!

Absolutely.

It is sad that most consider only romantic relationships as valid, with the "ultimate" goal of bringing offspring to this world.

Don't get me wrong. There was a time in my younger years when I wanted to start a family and have children of my own. In the end, life is what happens when you're busy making such plans, and somehow, it was always my yearning for romance that eventually stood in the way of actually achieving in finding it.

This made me forget that for some, this is maybe not, was is laid in the cards.

Don't miss out on beautiful platonic love, just because society wants you to find the perfect mate! Humanity wouldn't have come this far if only breeding couples would have lived "successful" and "worthy" lives. Platonic friendships are just as important as a glue for a lssting, healthy, and stable community...

Don't hold back your love...

liking someone platonically is so embarrassing like. yeah i admire you. yeah i think about you all the time. yeah i look forward to every time i see you even if it's only for a minute. yeah it's all platonic and yeah i couldn't explain this because it'd sound romantic. fucking hell

cal in his casket.

his casket is closed for the public. before the funeral, his parents had time with the casket open; they wanted a little more time with their son before he went in the ground. they hadn’t allowed cal’s siblings to look at his body until then, but they finally explained the situation fully to the kids and wanted them to see him.

his brother still doesn’t understand death fully, and his sister understands it a little too well. they both talk to cal’s body, knowing he won’t respond. his sister lays her favorite stuffed animal in the casket, right next to cal’s head. his brother tells him how much he misses him and updates him on life.

the gabriel family is full for the last time. once their oldest boy is buried six feet under and five is turned into four, nothing will be whole again.
