Yesterday, I dismantled a thread of thought I've been unwinding lately in regards to Tomino's views on gender and connectedness throughout Gundam and expressed clearly in the most recent Hathaway movie. I want to expand on those thoughts, why they're contributing to what I called "the stress soup of my brain," and what's been bothering me as I try to write from Lalah's POV, keeping all those things in mind. But also, if we want to continue from the last topic, I need the reader to already have read that post, and to read that post fully presumes you've watched at least Counterattack and both Hathaway movies (or read the books — and if you have, please don't tell me what happens, as I haven't yet!) and will extend me enough grace to be a bad person, bullying the Captain.
So that's a big barrier to entry. Feel free not to engage with this, if none of that describes you.
(Edit: In addition to the above, in this post, I hint at the spoilers I do know about the ending of the Hathaway's Flash novels. So be warned!)
( that was a lalah quote, by the way. warui hito wa ne, taisa wo ijimeru nante. )
