Failure at Five.
It's 3AM.
The perfect time to emotionally steel myself for one of the most tragic events in my shipping history. The Death of Prince Garma. For a character who only lived for five episodes, he seems so important. There was, of course, a lot of focus on him in The Origin. And he's important to Char, that's for sure. NO REALLY, DON'T MOCK ME.
I'm working on an FST for Char, Garma, and the overall doom that surrounds them both. It was today that I realized I wrote a somewhat summary for episode nine but did nothing for episode 10. Note I wrote this entry in April. And I'm only now getting around to the next episode.
Why, yes. I am a fag.
Moeagare. ;_;
Moeagare. ;_;
Moeagare, Gandamuuuuu.
OKAY enough with my weepy bullshit, LET'S GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD.
JESUS, WE'RE STILL RECAPPING THE COLONY DROP.
WE HAVEN'T HAD THIS SINCE WHAT, GUNDAM WING? They never recap anything in 00, and I need it, because I'm never paying attention and can't remember what happened last.
Btw since I can't leave this unfinished:
OKAY so here we go, Kidou Senshi Gundam x 10:
A lovely sunset.
Complete with mood-setting saxophone.
A quaint little mansion.
Where a fabulous party is being held. And we cannot have a fabulous party
without Garma Zabi.
OH GOOD GOD.
GARMA'S VOICE.
HOW I HAVE NOT HEARD IT IN SO LONG. QUITE LITERALLY, MONTHS.
SERENADE ME WITH THAT WONDERFUL VOICE, GARMA.
AHHHHHHHH~! ;_;
This scene has always made me laugh so I'll bring it up again:
"HEE HEE HEE HEE!"
...
Oh.
Oh this is going to hurt.
Look at that beautiful, beautiful Prince of Zeon.
Ffffffffffffffffffffff............................... ; ^;
(I FEEL AS IF I HAVE SUMMARIZED THIS SCENE A BILLION TIMES EVEN THOUGH I KNOW I'VE ONLY DONE IT ONCE BEFORE. AM I REALLY SO OBSESSED WITH THIS PART OF THE SERIES? NOBODY ANSWER THAT.)
OH LOOK.
IT'S CHAR.
GARMA CUTS THIS AWKWARD CONVERSATION SHORT WITHOUT A MOMENT'S HESITATION.
And I noticed something. I'm aware this is 70's animation and all but...
As Garma walks by, and the women look at him and coo, he smirks ever so slightly.
THAT HE DOES. THAT HE DOES... (My favorite part about this image are the colors of the roses. DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE?)
Mandatory favorite screen in all of Mobile Suit Gundam.
(A nice new one to replace my last from days long ago.)
Icelina appears, and something that is amazing to me is that they pronounce her last name correctly. Hell, I thought that was something only a European could do. (Eschonbach, btw.)
CHAR CHECKS HER OUT AND JESUS IS GARMA PISSED.
THAT'S RIGHT, GARMA, BE JEALOUS OF THAT WHORE. CHAR IS YOURS AND NO ONE ELSE'S.
Because 0079's overuse of Charzooms will never be old.
Uwaaaah~
ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOM--
See what I mean?
The love triangle plot thickens.
You know who's also blonde and in love with Garma?
Char.
Why no, I'm not going anywhere with this, not at all.
...I can't help but wonder if this scenario would have happened. Would he really have given up being a Zeon? Would Char then possibly not be keen on murdering Garma? After all, switching sides has always been a route of UC Gundam. It could have been, it just might have been this way, too...
OH HO HO.
I look at this and wonder why it can be taken SO MANY WAYS. Char almost looks happy for Garma. (Although it was the frame after this one that he smiled in.) This could be both manly and depressing, depressing because maybe he doesn't want to ruin Garma's life and he doesn't want Garma to be set on him at all because he doesn't want to see Garma hurt...
...or maybe he's thinking I'LL WIN YOU, GARMA, because he's taken up on their game and is thrilled to be in competition with courting that faggy prince. Garma could always marry Icelina to produce children yet marry Char to love.
ANDWITHABLONDEITWILLLOOKJUSTLIKECHAR'SKIDSANYWAY that honestly wasn't where I was going with my above comment, I only just realized it now.
MANDATORY.
SO ANYWAY, ABOUT THAT SOLDIER'S MESSAGE.
SIR, THERE ARE MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF PORN ON THE INTERNET WITH YOU. AND CHAR.
How did those ever get released?
I almost want to use this in my UC arguments on 4chan. Or possibly keep with this.
.........what.
Fuck.
And then Garma runs off to defeat the Feddies, so excitedly.
YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAH GONNA GET THEM FEDDIES!
Icelina: Wai--....
You cannot see White Base.
Because it is well camouflaged.
SEE?
Ohwaitthat'srightyoucan't.
OUR TEAM OF HEROES THAT TOTALLY ISN'T SUSPICIOUS AT ALL BECAUSE CLEARLY THERE IS REASON FOR CHAR TO BE UNDER GARMA'S COMMAND!
So the Gaw drops way more bombs than is fucking necessary.
Elsewhere, Icelina gets put in her place.
...like in the future, rebellious teenage daughters will drive jets instead of cars.
SORRY, SIR, WE ONLY HAVE A 28.8KBPS CONNECTION. THIS WILL TAKE A WHILE.
CURSES!
CHAR, FIGURE THIS SHIT OUT FOR ME: The Garma Method.
I will always take this more sexually than I should.
Garma attempts to fill a plot hole. Since apparently he can't do much else.
Also, it's kinda depressing how low-ranked Garma is in the military.
...ohgod mmn.
(HOW IS HE SUPPOSED TO CALM DOWN WHEN YOU'RE TOUCHING HIM, CHAR, AND IN FRONT OF THE MEN?!)
A hesitant, suspicious eyebrow waggle, and then...
...he gives in.
Reluctantly, but humbly, acknowledging that Char is better than he is, something Garma has always hated but something he's always believed.
And Char gives him a reassuring pat on the shoulder.
This is so adorable and depressing all at once aaaagggghhh.
'He'll never notice that "BACKSTAB ME" note I taped to his back.'
Yes!
...I just realized they totally did not finish coloring in that Zaku. They started to but then the animators were like "fuck it" and left it alone.
Aieeeeeeeee~~HFkskdlahdglsdg!!
... IF ONLY I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.
Not only do they wish each other luck but Char salutes and hopes for Garma's victory.
YOU ARE A CRUEL, CRUEL MAN.
THEN DON'T DO IT.
PROVOCATIVE GUNDAM POSING.
I LOVE HOW MANY TIMES THIS ANIMATION IS REUSED. ♥♥♥
Oh wow they just reused it again already.
GUNDAM SEES YOU.
...l-lookin' pretty suggestive, there, Char. Proceed. ;;;;;;
Sneaking music = disco.
I love you, Gundam.
And what's sad is WE ALL KNOW HE WAS.
He was probably leaning over the monitor, fidgeting with his hands and hair, wiggling and rocking back and forth unable to sit still, intently waiting, snapping at any soldier that dared utter a WORD as he concentrated on that screen...
I bet, deep down, or rather quite close to the surface, Char knows that, too.
...this calls for an image macro.
I shall use this often as well.
NOT AS PLANNED.
Left with little choice, Garma decides to ram the Gaw into White Base.
As Char looks on. At his handiwork.
"What?! Misfortune?!"
"Yes, misfortune."
"C-Char, what are you doing?!"
I-if only it were something more like this:
I pine.
THE LOOK OF GLEE I WILL NEVER, EVER BELIEVE.
Come to think of it, Ribbons did the same thing. If that isn't creepy. But the ironic part is I imagined both aftermaths the same: Char (AND RIBBONS), after the communication is closed, and a moment of the muted sounds of battle follows to let this all settle...
...the satisfied smirk quickly pulls heavily into a frown, followed by silent tears unable to be stopped.
And in Garma's angry betrayed feelings, he grabs controls, and begins a kamikaze run.
GLORY TO THE PRINCIPALITY OF ZEON!
;_;
These bits of Gaw that hit White Base only seem to mock me.
STUPID FUCKIN' TREE, THIS IS ALL YOUR GOD DAMNED FAULT!
The ending narration for this episode was actually very nice.
Then the previews begin, going on about how the soldiers fight to avenge Garma, and it happens to be THE MOST OBNOXIOUS BATTLE IN THE ENTIRE SERIES. I MEAN, GUNDAM BENDING THAT STUPID WING IN PLACE, AND THAT SOLDIER GETTING SMACKED AND FLUNG FROM HIS CHAIR BECAUSE THE CONTROL WHEEL SPUN, STABBING PLANE WINGS LIKE CAKE, AND
APPARENTLY ROTATED SCREENS.
BECAUSE THIS IS NOT CHAR, THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN. (MY MOM SEEMS TO THINK SO, ANYWAY.)
...WELL. I MADE IT.
AND WITHOUT TOO MUCH FAGGOTRY. Since I've done it before.
...wait what.
You know, right after the battle, Amuro stared at the battlefield in shock. Bright kept calling for him to return, but Amuro initially would not respond. Given the rest of the series, Zeta, and CCA, I can't help but feel this is significant on a different level.
I wonder if at all during Zeta, Amuro thought about what Char did on this day. ESPECIALLY IF CHAR WAS TOUCHING HIM INAPPROPRIATELY OR SOMETHING. ZETA WAS KINDA FISHY, AFTER ALL.
Okay, entry over, back to my FST.
For the record: it is now 5AM. Yes. It took me two full hours to write this. And I've yet to upload the pictures and insert them into this document. My failure is amazing.
