Thinking abt C. Geass again.

Thinking about Lelouch's rotation of masks, most all facets of himself but exaggerated to placate or dramatize. Thinking abt Suzaku's downward spiral. Thinking abt how the two of them Made that fuckin show for me. Also how it changed my brain chemistry in such a way friends can. See the grooves in made in my brain.

#I AM still laughing at Fuzz seeing the last shot of the ending theme and IMMEDIATELY being like #''AH THAT'S WHERE YOU GET YOUR EYE IMAGERY FROM.'' 💀 #anyways. I am. gonna work out. and then. maybe. probably. berhaps. rewatch more CG. #bc i'm Tired and the girls are Regressinggggg (in this one specific scenario I am girls) #K.R. shush #K.R. liveblogs CG

I am thinking about narrative inertia again. I am thinking about pivotal moments in a story that are so impactful, you can see and feel that narrative inertia in action.

That yes, that character could have agreed to join the hero, but he won't and that subsequently will lead to many deaths and blood and personal hurt to every character in the cast. That as soon as this one thing happens, it sets in motion the unstoppable force of a narrative that crashes into the inevitable end.

That all stories arc for an eventual end (regardless of whether we find them satisfying or thought-provoking or disappointing or a betrayal by then) and even when you know those tales by heart, there can always be a pinpointed moment of "Say yes. Say no. Don't do this again," as if you can stop the script from the distant audience seat.

Fate may not be an active force upon real life, but I've always found the use of Fate interesting in stories because, technically...? All characters have their fate laid out to them. That fate may not be what they foresee or want, but it is there once it is written, drawn, spoken, shared.

#gonna be honest this IS abt specific anime. #I'm having feelings abt one series through the lens of another and then in this post referenced a THIRD ONE I think abt a lot #but anyways #K.R. shush #🎵 stop thinking bout it stop stop thinking bout it why ya mind overclouded 🎵 #words #K.R. liveblogs LC #K.R. liveblogs CG #this post... is abt both of those. #an old song

"I'm afraid you're not the type of person who can keep your mind empty. There's a part of you that's a critic, constantly watching your own moves, and there's another part that's an observer, watching the critic watching you."

#K.R. liveblogs CG #K.R. shush #I'll stop CG Posting shortly but like. MAN. THE WAY THIS DOES DRIVE ME WILD. #that like YES that IS how Lelouch's brain WORKS. a frightful amount of observance behind a constantly evaluating mind

[krshush]

Watched another episode of CG just to really make sure my brain's shaken AND stirred before bed

#getting to the JLF and Kyoto acknowledging Zero like Go White Boy Go is still so gdhfhhd #and then the whiplash of SHIRLEY. the looming threat of That Mini Arc Bitch (Mao) #the MASKS AT PLAY with Lelouch and that he STILL DOESN'T know who pilots the Lancelot #I'm da fucken jonker #K.R. shush #K.R. liveblogs CG #a lil bit

I made the mistake of thinking abt CG while in the shower, so who wants a Discord ramble I made to a friend about Suzaku and Lelouch while I’m On This Bullshit Still (ft. me trying to Avoid Saying Direct Spoilers for friend’s sake dkjhf)

god the way that Suzaku and Lelouch are at like, different fucking wavelengths on how to undo the empire's terribleness is so good to me.

Lelouch, in all his overthinking and knowledge and rage, goes for revolution. Straight up. Dons a mask and calls it Zero, Zero who becomes a leader to the revolution that's been trying to start in Area 11 (Japan, except stripped of its... almost everything really, since the Britannian Empire won out) ostensibly to kill his father the Emperor and make the world a better place for his little (blind, wheelchair-bound) sister to live in. But Lelouch is a VERY Ends Justify the Means guy. He's not particularly nice. He is not particularly compassionate. He knows war is going to stain him the fuck up with blood. He knows it. But it all has to be worth it in the end. He knows it.

Suzaku has seen the effect of Ends Justify the Means though, firsthand. Suzaku's father died and Japan fell with him, but Britannia winning stopped the bloodshed of the war. But Suzaku still feels hollowed out, after What Actually Happened to his father. There's still pain and grief and regret that looms over Suzaku to the point of flinging himself into danger, for selflessness, for death. And he hates watching Zero start bloodshed back up again, especially when Suzaku opted to change the system from the inside out: he's gotten to become an Honorary Britannian, became a soldier, became a soldier good enough to pilot a Knightmare Frame. and he genuinely believes you have to uphold honor in your means to justify the ends, naive as that is even when he believes it from experience...

...Except when he doesn't, anymore. A Lot of things happen to Suzaku in just the first season, and his morals break. He's still going to change the system from the inside, but everything about maintaining Good Means goes out the window after being frustrated and betrayed and stricken with grief even more over the course of the season. And a lot of those bad things happen because of Zero, because his childhood best friend under a mask decided Ends Justify Means, and he doesn't even know that’s who it is.

For a portion of season one, Lelouch doesn't even realize Suzaku's the pilot of the Lancelot that's been giving him so much fucking trouble on he battlefield too!! They pass like fucking ships in the night except the ships have guns and swords and mechs fighting each other!!!! There comes a phone conversation late into the first season that is so tangibly tense with Suzaku unsure that Lelouch is Zero, but Lelouch encouraging Suzaku to come out and fight and kill Zero that it just!! it JUST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FUCK

to say NOTHING of the fact Lelouch has his own fucking emotional ups and downs as his plans and mistakes end up failing closer to home time and again and it fucks him up!!! But he's past the point of no return!!!! He's GOTTA keep going!! He’s GOTTA make all this WORTH IT!!!!!

they both go on such JOURNEYS as characters through the whole SERIES and that alone makes me just lose my mind, there's a LOT, I'm fucking EXCITED about this DUMB SHOW

#sets this down and SCATTERS BC EMBARRASSING #I also wrote this abt a third the way into my S2 rewatch which like. man. #K.R. shush #K.R. liveblogs CG

"Since the dawn of time, the young have rushed to their own deaths. Every hero is just another dead man walking."

Okay, damn,

#WHAT IS GOING ON WHAT'S THE LJORE HELLO?? THE GEASS ORDER??? WHAT. #K.R. shush #K.R. liveblogs CG

[krshush]

Fuckin thinking about how Lelouch fucking destroyed everything he had to achieve his end, and the last thing to be done was trusted to Suzaku, the last and only thing to possibly ever atone what they both had done through the series, that could only be done by Lelouch's best and only friend, his worst enemy.

Me @ me it is 2020, WHY ARE WE HERE AGAIN ON THE CG TRAIN--

#cannot BELIEVE I am sitting in the breakroom losing my mind to CG to the tune of Your Ex-lover is Dead by Stars #I cannot BELIEVE #🎶 LIIIIIVE THROUGH THIIIS. AND YOU WON'T. LOOK.

Y'all know how I said maybe I'll be done w/Code Geass once I finished watching R2? That was a lie I remembered I still have a subscription to Funimation where the Akito the Exiled OVA is, so I'm gonna be watching that

I haven't heard great things abt it, but I have heard Julius is a spectacle of an antagonist, so I gotta at least try
