You smell of water, Char...
Tumblr media
The scene of Char in the shower from episode 6 of the original Gundam anime is one of the most iconic and memorable in the entire show, for many reasons. In this post however, I want to focus on Char's famous line - 水臭いな、今更。[Mizukusai na, imasara]
The phrase mizukusai literally translates to "smell of water", but is an idiom meaning distant, stand-offish, not frank, or reserved. Originally it was used to refer to food or drinks that were too watery, lacking taste, or unsavory.
Let's look at it in the context of Char and Garma's conversation, both the original Japanese and English translation from the Blu-ray release.
Garma: 私はよい友を持った [Watashi wa yoi tomo o motta]
Char: 水臭いな、今更。ハハハ![Mizukusai na, imasara. Hahaha!]
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Garma's line uses the verb 持つ [motsu] meaning "to have" in this context, like in the proverb 持つべきものは友 [motsubeki mono wa tomo], "a friend is a good thing to have". My Japanese isn't good enough to get the exact nuance, but it's my understanding that his phrasing here is a bit formal.
Hence why Char replies as he does, but here's where things get interesting. I have seen this line translated into English so many different ways. "Don't get all sentimental on me now" is what this release uses, but the point I want to make is that translating from Japanese misses the joke that makes this dialogue and this scene so genius.
Essentially, Char is telling Garma not to be so distant or speak in such a manner now, after all this time. But as anyone familiar with Gundam knows, and as hinted by his smug little eye twinkle, our boy is up to no good.
While he's putting on a show to keep Garma's trust, you might say that in reality, he is the distant one here, to put it (and his revenge fueled murderous intent) mildly.
This is of course while Char is in the shower, soaking wet...and quite literally, would smell of water.

Keeping the very probable trauma Sonic now carries with himself in mind, except it would not show up immediately because he's just happy that Nine is in Green Hills and likes it here and seems to be getting along with Tails well. It's only weeks later when he would feel the effect finally dawning on him and the same with Nine(see: my previous post). They'd start avoiding each other but not really get why? Guilt and confusion are there because they've been so happy and glad all that what happened is in the past now, but not understanding that they literally just started to process what the fuck actually went down now that they're not high on adrenaline and prism energy and fearing for their lives.
Not saying there's any tragic falling out argument or anything cringe(/j) like that just Guilt and anger and emptiness and confusion and hurt. All of it is just an internal stew both Sonic and Nine silently carry in their heads and no one exactly knows what the fuck is going on with the two of them but hey, they eventually of course talk it out and all is good. But yea the processing arc is Not Fun.

you said you're having one of those days when you wish you didn't have a body, but my pupils reached out to what they see as starlit! you said once upon a time you were some sort of two-ended candle. but somewhere along the line you became melted wax on the carpet

okay so ill keep it short! my well broke! i have no water. its completely dried up and a new one needs to be dug, and that is very expensive. i have ocd so being unable to wash my hands and shower freely is extremely distressing, to say nothing of the fact that i cannot cook or do anything that would need water. i have stockpiled up on some foods that dont need water to make, but tldr;
i need to move!! im looking at apartments already, but having to get that food took a chunk out of what i had saved. its looking like ill need about $600 to cover the rest of the first months rent and security deposit.
💀 if you can, please consider sending a little help my way at p*yp*l.me/nouveaumoon. absolutely anything helps
all i have is word of mouth to help spread this bc of our beloved tunglr sniping these types of posts when theyre tagged so even just a reblog is appreciated

this is just me but smth i like when it comes to having dark n daisuke as muses is the way that the curse and transformation ends up being such a candid tell in regards to their feelings. daisuke's heart is huge and his feelings are so big for everything and everyone, but he's also at the mercy of his own anxiety and delicate sense of shame, making the curse versatile in metaphor. sometimes it's liking or wanting to protect someone so much that your heart beats for them, but being afraid they'll hate you if you spill a certain secret, or show another side of yourself that you aren't certain they'll accept or find weird. sometimes it's loving what you're doing so much that your heart pounds, you feel alive, and you can't make it stop, but also feeling impostor syndrome, frustration and shame; the insecurity that what you're doing or what you're making isn't actually good, and therefore has no value, leading up to embarrassment. i joke about being cringe but free and really that's what daisuke, at the v least, should hear - since he's the one between himself and dark who's always worried about confessions and being truthful to himself and others.

classics - muse a tends to muse b’s wounds with more care than necessary [pjo verse needs one of these]
capture the flag was over , the sun was already starting to set behind them . in the distance he could hear the sounds of victory , the giggling of the other campers as they went over the events of the day . others where less joyous , sulking in cabins or in the infirmary for their wounds .
buck's own wounds weren't terrible , he felt silly going to get checked out especially when the younger kids seemed to need it more . it became a thing , he realised . that unless it was an emergency the older kids stayed away from the infirmary . they've made it this far , what was one extra bruise , one more scar .
a hiss escaped him as he looked down to where gen was wrapping the cut on his leg . it was an accident really , the kid had felt terrible and buck had spent more time reassuring the newbie that he was fine than worry about the actual wound . shallow as it was he was prepared to just wash it out , let it heal itself like so many of his injuries magically did . but one look from gen had made any protests die in his throat .
they sat on the shoreline , the water gently lapping at the sand . it was still early enough in the year that it was pleasantly warm , still buck was craving the comfort of his cabin's warmth . "you know this is pointless, right?" he asked with a raise of an eyebrow . he stretched his other leg out , thankful he had been wearing shorts at the time instead of longer trousers . "it'll be gone by tomorrow," as much as he protested there was something comforting about being looked after .
his cabin was empty , there had been another for a couple years but now it was just him by himself . the minor gods weren't as shameless as the other gods . he didn't have a cabin full of half siblings taking up room . gen was similar in that aspect , perhaps a reason why they got along so well . their cabins where empty ; their homes even more so .
he nudged her with his knee , mindful not to disturb their work . "you coming to the bonfire later?" buck asked , in what he hoped was a casual manner . the bonfire was a more recent addition to camp activities . a way for the older campers to celebrate their victories without having to worry about younger ears . he knew the rumours , about stolen food and forbidden ambrosia . it was mostly a quiet event , a way for older campers to talk about strategy , about their lives . there was an understanding at the bonfires ; we'll be gone soon , too old to stay at camp . it was a way for them all to be close , knowing that their time was coming to an end .
