ok so technically i LIED i'm actually building Eva Unit 02, not necessarily a gundam lol
i'm very new to model kits (the only other kit i've done is the Tanjiro Demon Slayer one that's in like every Target lol), but this has been very fun so far! i need to get some better sanding materials though, the little plastic bits are bothering me. also i need to build her other leg and arms but tbh this is still pretty show accurate since Unit 02 gets destroyed like every other episode LMAO
but yea i got this guy as a little gift for myself on valentine's day :] i love how the Evas are designed and actually building one is crazy cool, i'm so impressed as to how poseable it is and it's fascinating to see how everything fits together. i definitely want to build Unit 01 after this but these things are. expensive 💀

MUCH CAN HAPPEN IN A YEAR. IN FIVE YEARS. A DECADE. imagine how much can happen in a century. just ONE (1). How will you grow? what phases do you find? even in 5 years, you will find patterns.
I think why I’m so elated by every piece of weird ass transformers lore I learn about is that I enjoy seeing what writers can get away with in such a big-name franchise. It’s gotten exhausting watching every franchise slowly lose its charm over the ages in pursuit of being palatable to the masses.
There’s definitely something to be said about how writers don’t get to put their all into these mainstream stories because they have to be so palatable. It’s hard to enjoy what you make when it has to walk the tightrope between being a compelling story, and pleasing shareholders. Stories lose their heart, when writers can’t make it theirs, y’know?
Seeing the stuff that slides in transformers media, the weird shit that is still slipping through the cracks, jro in his entirety, feels like a deviation from that. The first thought that always goes through my head is “haha how is this official canon media. Who okayed this?” And the answer is probably no one, really. The writers get to have fun. We still get to see a glimpse of the insane well why not quirky 80s toy ad that transformers started off as. It brings me a lot of joy to see that the goofiness and absurdity is still there, somewhere.
The fact that so much of the weird lore sits right on the surface is so wonderful, too. These aren’t some obscure side comics, or a failed tv show. So much of it is at the very front of the franchise.
It’s nice to see transformers writers still winning, I guess.
ok u know what maybe if the world isn't ready for sunrazer post that means that the world IS ready for Amoveous siblings post. This is Milo and Enho and theyre my DARLINGS and i love them SO MUCH. i have. SOOOOOOOO many thoughts abt them but after the previous post massacre i do not really feel like typing all of that xoxo love <3
I can't believe I have to ask this with my own mouth and type this with my own two hands but.... will you ever drop the rita+dio heights 👀?!?!? Honestly I'm jk because they have that mechafiction thing going on so it's nice to leave it up to imagination but I'm just tickled pink the way you refer to him as tiny or 'comparatively' small. Rather than an actual height, is Dio small compared to the average person or just his super cool and adoring, amazing and loving tall gf Rita? From the mash up drawings I've seen, Dio is always the smallest person on the page :3 I love a confident little man in charge so I adore Dio and Rita and their dynamic <3 The caption about him being in distress because his gf was out of shot in distress had me cracking up lolol
Darlingest anon I cackled SO hard when I got this ask; thank you for being interested in my motorcycle kids!! And you are in luck: Even though I usually don’t get too fussed about how tall characters are, this is the one project I have where I did work out out everybody's heights. If you don't want to know exact answers, I'll just say that Dio is, in fact, Tiny specifically when compared to Rita. He's of pretty average height! Even a little taller than average! She's just QUITE tall.
And if you do want the exact measurements, Dio is 5'5 (and a half)! Rita is 6’3 in her bio body and 6’4 in her mechanical proxy body so next to her he simply looks like a bean rather than a beanpole. AND the rest of the main cast actually ALSO skews quite tall so he just… appears short most of the time. He doesn’t mind! It's rad! His girlfriend is tall and amazing and can lift him up with one arm and he is THRILLED about it.
Rita and Dio are in their late teens in the main part of the story, so it’s possible they both could still grow slightly? They’ve pretty much reached their full adult heights, though; it would be a very minor difference.
Man, I still remember when Gege had just started to go on his first couple of hiatus because of overwork and how so many of the fans reacted. Lots of them were extremely pissed off at the fact that they’d simply have to wait an extra week for the new chapters. Then when JUMP released a statement from Gege stating that he would be taking a month off, they were saying shit like “omg, no one’s gonna care about it anymore if it doesn’t update 🙄!” And “it’s gonna fall of so hard if he does this 🤔.” Like, oh brother. So you’re telling me that the critically acclaimed, award winning, new age shounen manga, Jujutsu Kaisen, is going to “flop,” because of the creator not updating it every fucking week 😕? Are you people stupid- nvm.
It had gotten to the point where Gege himself had even mentioned that he was still gonna try to work on the manga in between his break which… kind of defeated the purpose of him taking time off in the first place. It’s his first major manga. It’s doing extremely well financially and has garnered tons of support in such a short period of time. He doesn’t want to disappoint the fans. I get it. But that was so sad to me back when I’d first read that… and he’s only 32. He’s only a few years older than me. Now, he goes on hiatus all of the time (they’re scheduled breaks every three chapters.) even a one week break isn’t really enough when you really think about it.
The planning for each page already takes enough effort to set up. Now you have to actually sketch and ink everything??? If you’re not an artist or is someone who’s not all too familiar with sequentials, than you probably wouldn’t fully understand just how much effort has to go into completing even one single panel. It’s just… a lot of work.
People need to understand that at the end of the day, all these people want to do is draw and write. They want to share their stories with the world. It isn’t their faults that they blow up the way that they do. And just because you like it a lot, doesn’t mean that you as a fan, have the right to demand more from them. Learning to care more about others over what they can give you - what they can do for you, and how can you benefit, is important. People are not robots. You have to understand this as a fellow human being.
DUDE it was one of the most fun things I've been too aaa my calves are still sore from all the standing and dancing I did lmao. I hope it didnt annoy anyone near me that I was singing along to everything aahahaha (but also everyone was singing to Miku and World is Mine so I don't feel that bad abt it)
Sat next to a super sweet person who lent me and my friend spare lightsticks ; w ; and it was just. so awesome being around other vocaloid fans wow
The merch line was waaay too long both before and after the concert and I had like a little over an hour of driving back home to do so I didnt even bother
my friend that I brought with me had a blast as well!!! which was super reassuring becos he knew next to nothing abt vocaloid going into it.
OH ALSO THE LIVE BAND? SPECTACULAR. We were close enough that we could see them and aa they were singing along too. Seeing them get super into unknown mothergoose was the highlight of the night tbh (and yes i cried during it yeah yeah)
my camera is garbage🚮so the image and audio quality is blugh but here's a sweet little vid some of us singing to world is mine ^_^ (VOLUME WARNING)
Ya know, with the set ups I've been playing with, Roxy and Cassie are incredibly similar.
Both of them have been tasked with the impossible, both have had their loyalty pushed to the max, both of them have friends that betrayed them for one reason or another, both of them were left to die, and neither of them have many friends anymore...
Oh and both of them have a Helpi AI. Cassie's is just infected with Mimic/Glitchtrap/whatever. So there's that too!
