even though i was kinda disappointed in the second core of the #witchfrommercury#gundam , i truly hope its popularity teaches sunrise and the anime industry that you can make bank with lesbians
A few people have been asking if I'm going to stick around on Mastodon if I'm not posting on Twitter anymore, and... well, like, I'll definitely keep posting announcements here. But in general, honestly, I have no idea! My impression of Mastodon—having checked it multiple times a day for several years—is that it's just kind of a wasteland. People don't really seem interested in talking about anything other than social media meta? Those are the only posts of mine that get replies, anyway!
@christinelove Maybe you haven't found your tribe? Depending on server and who you follow you can get very different experiences (I have multiple accounts on purpose for this reason).
Speaking of that, #WitchFromMercury , seen the last episode (out today) yet? What a show!
@arya48@preston Yeah it doesn't seem fair that Shaddiq got imprisoned while Prospera and others went free. On the one hand I understand wanting to break the cycle of violence/revenge, but they could have at least acknowledged how abusive Prospera was. She should have faced some consequence.
I also wonder if the souls of Elan 4, Norea and Sophie got transferred somewhere or just Ericht...
Norea was a daughter of Eve in Gnostic myths. When Noah didn't let her board the ark, she burned it down and he had to re-build it. GWitch's Norea attacking the school is a retelling of this.
The mythic Norea is later attacked and rescued by a figure named Eleleth. Eleleth -> Elan 5
@gundam I noticed this and was surprised that no one else seems to be talking about it. There's a lot of references to other things in this show. I don't know if there are other Gnostic inspired characters besides these three. I'm going to look into it more.
Hello! I’m a Reddit and Twitter user trying to figure out this whole Fediverse thing because I’d like to drop those apps entirely. My longest-term anime fandom is Mobile Suit Gundam, and of course my current obsession is Witch from Mercury.
Looking for a non-toxic space for discourse on the medium in general, and it seems like this instance has a strong ethos and identity. My time is fairly limited, so I likely be more lurker than contributor, though I may share photos of my (not-so-great) Gunpla builds from time to time.
Beyond that, I think my number one personal interest is in narratives, both fictional and socially-constructed, and how people interface with storytelling. That includes narratives constructed by games, although my gaming interests have slowly drifted away from big AAA fare and more toward small-studio RPGs, horror, retro emulation, and arcade-style games, as well as abstract board games like checkers, chess, and go.
