"S Class heroes are not hired to save. They’re hired to destroy." Damn but that's GOOD!

I know this isn't an ask, just a comment I appreciated greatly back in the day, but a lot has happened in the story since.

Specifically, raiding the Monster Association headquarters has tested them all with fire and we have found that ultimately, they *are* heroes. They may be agents of destruction, but it is unthinkable for them not to save whenever they can.

im glad that that ohmyjung person deleted all of your guy's works as well as their account! You really don't deserve to have to deal with an entitled person like that😞

so real. tho the whole thing made me a bit paranoid and definitely kicked my love for writing down just a bit as it gets more and more clearer that people don’t really support tumblr writers and readers. maybe it’s bc the site/app is old that people see it as the aesthetic blog site thing but so many ppl online i see say that tumblr has the worst fanfics which is annoying and so disrespectful to the writers and readers here

Thoughts on the G-Witch Finale

If there’s something I can say for certain is that this was a wild ride from start to finish, that’s undeniable.

My brain keeps short-circuiting when I try to form a coherent opinion about the ending. It definitely wasn’t perfect and, just like most part of the second cour, it needed more revisions and work to be better. There were many ideas and storylines that had a lot of potential but weren’t fully developed. Nonetheless I’m glad that they were included.

What I expected for this ending was that at least Suletta and Miorine would end up together, I thought that would be acceptable even if the other storylines had a rushed resolution (because, let’s face it, it was very hard to give a satisfactory ending to all the conflicts from the series in only one episode). I wasn’t expecting at all an ending where Prospera and Eri survived, that pulled the rug from under my feet. For some time I saw this resolution as corny and overly idealistic, but now I think that that’s not necessarily a bad thing. During the episode, Suletta is told several times that she wouldn’t be able to achieve what she’s aiming for, but she still goes for it and gets everything that she wished for and more. She was supposed to be a tragic character but she went against that script and earned her happy ending; the more I look at things from this perspective, the more ok I am with the resolution.

Last week I was wondering where would Eri’s character arc go if she survived, it turned out that she was finally able to choose what she wanted and she chose to be with Suletta, she also accompanies Miorine to Qin Harbor which shows that she’s taking responsibility for her past mistakes. That’s a good direction for her character arc… although the fact that she ended up in a silly keychain is still super weird. It’s obvious that if she was going to live, it would’ve been cruel to put her in another Mobile Suit, but there were other options, she could’ve been in a tablet, or in a cyborg’s body or even a Haro would’ve been nice. The keychain is just too much… it’s funny, but weird. Also, there’s really no explanation on how she got there. Only Suletta knows and she’s not going to tell. (It’s space magic, I guess). My point is that if the writers were planning to let her live, they needed to work more on how that could be achieved.

As for Prospera, at least she won’t be able to cause more harm and she seems to be in peace. It would’ve been good to know more of her thoughts at the end.

Now, regarding that other criticism about the ending, I have the impression that Sunrise/Bandai/whoever is responsible for the franchise was trying to play safe. It took more than 40 years for Gundam to have a female protagonist and it’s quite telling that they chose someone like Suletta who is extremely nice and precious. Maybe they thought that a protagonist like Elnora or even like Chu-Chu would’ve been more intimidating. There’s also the fact that the series only lasted 24 episodes instead of the usual 50. I can be wrong but it seems that they weren’t sure that the series would succeed so they didn’t want to take many risks. I think that’s why even if at the end it’s obvious that Suletta and Miorine are married, we didn’t see a kiss or the wedding. Maybe what we got was all that the writers were able to get away with. I really don’t know how things work in Japan when it comes to lgbtq+ themes on series that aren’t explicitly yuri or yaoi, so I’m just speculating.

I didn’t dislike the ending, but I think that the series needed more episodes to develop all the ideas that the writers had in mind, maybe with that, they would’ve nailed it.

Finally, I wouldn’t want a continuation for this story, Suletta, Miorine and their family are fine and it’s better if the narrative leaves them alone. However, a movie retelling could be great, also it would be nice to have novels, manga or OVA’s about what happened during the time skips, many elements and characters of this universe need to be explored more. (Particularly I think that there were many things about Miorine and her family that the story should’ve tackled). All in all if I try to be objective I would give the series a 7.5/10… but it gets an 8/10 for effort, and because I’m soft at grading… and also because I really liked it despite all. So, I still recommend it and I’m glad that this was the series that introduced me to Gundam.

P.S: Really liked that call back to episode 1 with Miorine being the one to rescue Suletta in space. That part was excellent.

on one hand i get it marianne is 16 and stupid and ran into the most horrendous prick of a guy who stole and broke her heart in quick succession and i get it that that's how that feels at 16 and you aren't ever gonna be able to recover but on the other hand i know so many full grown women who act just like her that it makes me upset

I do love reading theory because it's really the perfect outlet for me to be polemical, especially when I come across writing that's like, "Damn, dude, you got like 38% of this right on the money and the rest of it is fucking whack."

the funniest part of any Robin meeting the JL is that every Robin is so distinctly different from the previous one in terms of personality and vibes that the league literally gets backlash. and like, I don't blame them. not to mention that they are non-meta children that dress as a traffic light and fight crime alongside batman in gotham on a nightly basis. i'd also be a bit concerned. Batman, literally The Night of Gotham personified in the League's eyes, coming into a JL meeting: This is Robin, my crime-fighting partner. 11-year-old Dick Grayson, dressed in the brightest primary colours possible, vaguely hidden murder behind those eyes, never stops moving even for a moment: Hi! Superman: That's a child. That's-- Bats that is a child. You let a child--? Batman, deadpan: You try to stop him. Would you rather he try and murder a grown man with a wire?

Batman: This is Robin. 12-year-old Jason Todd, with the biggest grin on his face, about 3 books in his hand, stars in his eyes and a distinct street-kid drawl: Hey!!! Green Lantern: That's ... that's a different child. What?? Jason: I stole his tires :) Batman: Tried to. Jason, stage whispering to the League: basically did. Green Lantern: that is a different kid, right?? I'm not seeing shit??

Batman: This is Robin. 14-year-old Tim Drake, bo staff clutched in his hand, a wary and tired expression on his face, more on the quiet side, the literal walking definition of don't judge a book by it's cover: hello Flash: Where do you even find these-- Tim: I found myself.

Batman: This is Robin. 17-year-old Stephanie Brown, literally blonde, with a shit-eating grin, eyes full of nothing but mischief and the most explosive personality you've ever seen: hiya!! Superman: I give up. Stephanie: I know, I have that amazing effect on people.

Batman: This is Robin. 13-year-old Damian Wayne, a literal wet cat that will hiss at you, has a sword, the most judgemental stare you'll get from a teenager, ready to jump anyone there: Green Lantern: WHY DOES HE HAVE A SWORD?! Batman: ... he came with the sword.
