@legendwrote says: 🎰 god I am so curious 👀

meme || accepting

i kid you not, the very first match-up was xie lian & hua cheng. i’m not going to count that, because WE ALREADY KNOW. so, restarting:

1. wen kexing & zhou fei — i mean?? i haven’t seen all of legend of fei yet so idk WHAT this would look like, but we know i love zhou fei very much. does that mean she deserves better than to be subjected to the menace that is wkx? probably. could we make it work? I’m Sure We Could

2. han ying & zhou zishu — my beloveds. not very creative on the randomizer’s part, but Absolutely we should do more with them

3. luo fumeng & wuzhu — obsessed with how out of left field this is. handshake on not remembering most of their pasts, and on helping to raise a boy who’s both a political genius and an absolute disaster?

4. wu xi & hua cheng — oh i am THINKING EMOJI about wu xi being bai wuchang, an envoy of the yellow springs, and hua cheng being a ghost who never reached the yellow springs, and also of wu xi-as-bai wuchang helping jby reincarnate for the purpose of reuniting with his soulmate and what hua cheng’s feelings on that might be. how this could translate into rp in ANY way i’m not sure but it is interesting, and i wonder if hua cheng would be able to tell that wu xi is not, like, a regular human person. on a more mundane note, hua cheng would almost certainly know wu xi by reputation, and i know his nigh-unlimited supplies of spiritual energy are basically a panacea, but if he ever needs an accomplished healer...

5. jiang cheng & liu qianqiao — again i don’t?? even know what this would look like??? jiang cheng Does love elegant but ruthless women, so there’s that, and i am forever in a campaign to give jc Literally Any Friends

#legendwrote #; answered.#; out.#probably obvious but i'm not thinking of any of these with romantic intentions particularly. just plottin #some INTERESTING PAIRUPS HERE #but once again. can't believe hualian rigged the randomizer so they'd be paired first. i blame hua cheng

GUNDAM WING - 2020 REWATCH - 19 - 20

What stands out now:

19. Assault on Barge

Think we are in for some 1x2 shenanigans (and as an old school 1x2 shipper, I AM READY)

HOWARD just strikes me as a guy who only listens to Jimmy Buffett. Like, he might help repair Tallgeese, but he’s just counting down to 5:00 so he can get his margaritaville on

“That’s an interesting looking machine… oh, it’s Tallgeese, I made it btw.”

“This isn’t what we meant” is totally a Gundam Wing song. Fight me. (actually I’m gonna make a whole post about this later, because I need to elaborate)

Colonel Une is nutbar: Her order is let him live if he’s ugly?? I have no memory of this?

OZ is like “OMG IT’S A GUNDAM!? On the thing that’s holding a Gundam?! HOW COULD WE HAVE BEEN PREPARED FOR THIS?!”

Duo’s cheery “You’re gonna die” is great. Duo is like the looks like a cinnamon roll but will kill you meme, and I love it.

“Tag along on my journey into hell” is such a fierce line

Trowa is the unexpected voice of reason

“What’s this?” Cabbage, dumb-dumb. Don’t you have salad in space??

Come on Heero, you managed to hide a gun in spandex, you can’t hide it in your jeans better. Why are you so bad at this?

That hero shot for Heero. Chefs kiss. It’s so good.

Duo: You can kill me if you want; Heero: Oh no. You asked me to kill you? Now I have feelings for you.

Describing the Mobile Dolls as “Annihilation machines” seems like a bad thing, tbh. But would be a badass name for a metal band.

How is Lady Une is magically sending out her peace talk? Does she have the same magic powers as Quatre?

Oh no. Are the mobile dolls attacking our own Leos?? What could possibly go wrong here?

Oh no, they are annihilation machines. How could we possibly have seen this coming.

Getting the Mobile Dolls to attack the Leos and the space suits is the best executed plan that Heero’s been a part of so far. We don’t see how it happens, and we know he didn’t have an escape plan, so I’m going to assume this was Duo’s idea.

20. The Lunar Base Infiltration

Duo: You can’t tell me not to come; Heero: You’re injured, you’ll get in the way; Duo: You know what?! I didn’t want to go anyway, so I’ll just stay here; Heero: Fine; Duo: FINE.

The moon is just one shitty mall. Figures

There’s something haunting about hanging a half built mech with all it’s wires hanging out. Eva really leaned into it, but we get it a lot in this episode with Vayeate and Sandrock.

Oh hey, it’s Sally Po

Oh hey, it’s the Maganac Corps

Oh hey, we can talk to each other without any sort of radio. Crazy!

Look, I don’t want Duo to cut his hair, but what an idiot. At least tuck it into your hat, man. The braid is pretty obvious, especially when you have wanted posters hanging around.

Trowa Barton. You really are just going to use the name you stole from someone else? And just tell OZ about it? Why are all the pilots so bad about their aliases.

That being said, Trowa is so cool. I am super into Trowa this time around.

NOOOOOOOOO. Come on Duo. This is not keeping a low profile.

Trowa’s tears. So iconic. So sad, he hasn’t cried in over a decade.

Lutenient Nichol is the only smart guy in Oz.

Oh man, Mercurius and the Vayeate. I remembered the names of these suits for 20 years, but I don’t know basic math. Go figure.

Lady Une/Colonel Une is so fascinating. Is she really unaware of her two sides? Did Trowa just break her? Does she not realize she’s part of OZ?

A-game from Trowa and Doctor S to totally ignore each other

Heero continues to be the worst at everything. What was his plan there? Why attack in Vayeate when everyone was there? When it’s not even fully bult? When you KNOW that Mercurius can just block it. WHY ARE YOU SO BAD AT THIS HEERO?

Why do I ship the pilots as soon as they point a gun at each other? 1x2 in the last episode; 1x3 here. I’m pretty sure Noin pulls a gun on Duo soon, too...

Thoughts:

Heero is set up to the best character in this show, and he’s pretty awesome, but all he wants to do is go to school and just hang out. At least, that seems to be the thing he’s good at because he’s not good at carrying out any mission plan. I mean, he looks good while doing it, but it never ends well... I remember back in the day there was this yahoo mailing list I was on SDDI: Society for the Defence of Duo’s Intelligence. IDK why people thought Duo wasn’t smart (I was on the list because it was good discussion and lots of fic, if I recall, also mailing lists were great). Anyway, so far none of them have been super successful with their plans, but Trowa and Wufei have been slightly more?

Also, we’ve been watching the Dub because that’s what @mpanighetti and I both watched on Toonami back in the day and we wanted the same experience... and having seen some of the sub, I think they do a pretty good job with a lot of the voices and the translations... that being said, Howard’s info dump at Zechs in 19 is just awful. I’m eager to go back and watch that scene subbed and see the differences.

What I think I remember for the next episode(s):

Heero and Trowa get to pilot Mercurius and the Vayeate against Tallgeese. I think we get a few more pilot pairups as well? We get a glimpse of Quatre’s home.

ALSO: We know that it was shortsighted to start this in early December 2020 and call this Rewatch 2020. I’m gonna continue to use the “Gundam wing rewatch 2020″ tag to track all this (and if you want to follow the tag, too), and I might just take the date off the titles going forward.

“Tell me a bit about yourself, mon ami(e). Is this your first contest, or if it’s not, how long have you been participating? What drew you to the Wallace Cup this year?”

“I’ve been in the Wallace Cup before. It was quite a different competition back then, but it’s interesting that it switches up every year. I got to the Sinnoh Grand Festival and made it to the Quarterfinals. I didn’t enter last year’s Wallace Cup, so I didn’t want to miss it again. Also, never been to Alola, so two trips for the price of one was enough of a reason to sign up.”

“What sort of background do you come from-are you a trainer, a breeder, a coordinator, or perhaps something else? Do you see this giving you any advantage in the competition?”

“Well, I said I did the Wallace Cup before and made it to a Grand Festival, so I’m a coordinator obviously. I do hear some competitors don’t have contest experience so I’d say that gives me an advantage. Other than May and Zoey, I don’t think anyone else has been to a Grand Festival either so I’d say that makes me the third most qualified contestant, but there’s a huge handicap that gives evens the playing field in Wallace forcing us into categories and choosing our Pokémon. Remember when contests allowed us coordinators the freedom to make our own appeals from free will without categories and limits? Those were the best.”

“What are your thoughts on the competition here today? It looks like we have quite a diverse cast of Pokémon fans competing. Anyone you know? Rivals, perhaps?”

“I know Zoey, she won the Sinnoh Grand Festival I was in. And May was who I went up against in the battle rounds of the last Wallace Cup I was in. ((ooc: For May, I retconned him into the anime’s Wallace Cup where he lost to May in the first battle round.)) Lucas is from Twinleaf Town like me, but I don’t know him well. In fact, he looks older than the Lucas I know, but he shares the exact same name. Weird.”

“How are you feeling about this contest in general? Are you nervous at all?”

“No. At least if I don’t do well, I can fall back on the excuse that it wasn’t my choice of a category or pairing of Pokémon and that this isn’t like a typical contest I enter.”

“Impressive as you are, we can’t forget your Pokémon and the critical role they play. Could you introduce me to a few of them, or tell me a bit about them? What sort of bond do you have, and how are they handling this contest?”

“They’ve been with me for a long time. Prinplup was the first Pokémon I got from Professor Rowan and he’s definitely been my most go-to Pokémon. Breloom, Machoke, and Alakazam have all done some awesome appeals for me in the past. I can’t say they’re all ecstatic about having to be ordered by a different trainer though.”

“How did you chose the Pokémon partners you’ll be using in this competition?”

“Experience was the main factor. Only Floatzel is sitting out of this competition. Since I already have Prinplup for a water type I thought it would be better to mix it up the most I could. It would probably be a better advantage for other competitors if I had all water types to give them, so that’s why I chose some non-water types. Hopefully when it’s the rounds to trade some Pokemon it will slip them up. Hopefully they give me a water type and make it easy for me while they get a fighting type and won’t know how to work with the water.”

“Do you have any friends, family, or other loved ones here cheering you all on? Or perhaps at home? I know this isn’t a live, televised interview, but is there anything you’d like to tell any of them right now?”

“I’m here with my friend Emma. It’s her first time attending a contest and also her first time here in the Alola region. My parents are always busy with work, so they’ll be cheering for me at home. I’ll like to tell them that I’ll be bringing up my first international ribbon.”

“How are you feeling about performing in this category? What are some challenges you think you’ll face in your planning?”

“The whole thing will be a challenge. I’m left without my water Pokémon in the appeal stage and it’s the cute category for Alakazam and Machoke. Not only is it a hard category for these two but this wasn’t the pairup I was hoping for. I was hoping for Alakazam and Prinplup, but I’ll have to make do. Hopefully everyone else has a hard time with their categories as I do and I can regain my experience advantage.”
