One of my favorite things about UC Gundam is that it is genuinely extremely weird.
Like, mecha as a genre is already a hard sell to people who aren't already into it or things like it. Gundam as a franchise is even more of a hard sell because it has a 45 year reputation of being a series for model building grognards. And as the final nail in the coffin, the original show being from 1979 has killed any desire to watch it in many, many people that I have recommended it to.
But if you actually get past all the hurdles and watch it, you have a show about a guy in a stupid helmet who is heavily implied to be fucking his twink boyfriend (who he kills), who then promptly develops a homoerotic rivalry with another guy before changing his name to Four Vaginas in the sequel. And he's not even the main character.
True believers will tell you it's peak fiction. And that's me. I'm a true believer.
“Cave Johnson here. I’ve received complaints from anonymous employees that our support of the “homosexual lifestyle” is “degenerate” and “irresponsible”. It really got me thinking and I think I found a solution. So good news! We now have 23 vacated positions reserved for members of the LGBT community. Additional good news, we began a new testing initiative on evolutionary degenration with 23 test subjects all ready to go.“
we should globally ban the introduction of more powerful computer hardware for 10-20 years, not as an AI safety thing (though we could frame it as that), but to force programmers to optimize their shit better
so! here's where i make a really funny joke and everyone laughs: ha ha ha that was great!
but seriously, this was a great project that a lot of us worked on! i bet you're wondering, gee who worked on it? well i'm glad you ask really easy rhetorical questions that i have the answer to!
Cast:
@broadway-june @broadway-equius
Choir: @broadway-calliope @broadwayy-kanaya @broadway-john @broadway-sollux (as mituna) @broadway-terezi
Art, editing, lyrics: @broadway-equius
song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VynZTYtvWFA
i'd say equius put blood, sweat, and tears into this, buuuuuuuut i'm pretty sure it was mostly sweat, heh. i'm also like, 99.99% sure this wouldn't have been possible at all without their work! (see the art, editing, lyrics, and singing credit above for evidence, yeah i cite my sources, hehe)
without further ado though, please enjoy and on behalf of all of us that worked on this project, thanks for listening!
p.s, the lyrics are hiding below!
Ahh, ah ah ah
Ahh, ah ah ah
Do you think if we try
We'll make it out alive
More than survive
Meaning to life
Please take a breath
Avoiding death
I don’t make promises I know I’ll break
Ahh, ah ah ah
The future seems so bleak now
We need to make it out somehow
Would you stay with me even if
We don’t know what’s to come
As a young lass I always felt destined for
lesser things than saving the friends I adore
Oh no, here it comes, can’t afford to fail
We will prevail!
Do the windy thing,
Do the windy thing,
Dance for me, play the game
Do the windy thing,
Do the windy thing,
Dance for me, it's all the same
Heed the mind’s eye and go back where it all went wrong
Fix our mistakes, make it better, one more chance!
Nev-er stop play-ing (Ahh, ah ah ah)
Nev-er stop sing-ing (Ahh, ah ah ah)
Now the time has came, to see if we have what it takes to really win
Though I’ve tried I know I can’t do this alone, again
Do not make the same mistakes as I
You'll never come back from certain death
You'll lose everyone you’ve ever loved
You’ve only forsaken yourself
No, don’t go alone
No, don’t go alone
No, don’t go alone
You won’t make it out,
No, don’t go alone
No, don’t go alone
No, don’t go alone
You won’t make it out alive
The time has come to step up, I’m really a god
Never give up, rise to the occasion, feeling light as air
It matters more the ever to make the score
I’m more than a breeze, I'm the air in your lungs
A reckoning that you’ve earned so you can
Take your last
Breath
Ahh, ah ah ah
Ahh, ah ah ah
Ahh, ah ah ah
Ahh, ah ah ah
Now I know that I don’t have To face this all alone, I have you close
Now I know that I don’t have To play or sing or dance anymore
Ahh, ah ah ah
being a self-taught artist with no formal training is having done art seriously since you were a young teenager and only finding out that you’re supposed to do warm up sketches every time you’re about to work on serious art when you’re fuckin twenty-five
i think i still have that link outfit still around somewhere...
don't mind me getting just a little serious for a sec, all jokes aside. this took a bit to make and work on, and it might be personal if you read into it...
but hey who has time for that?! i really hope you like it and seriously you should pick up the zelda franchise if you haven't already!!
lyrics below!
(credit to Marioverehrer for this rendition of lost woods that i love~)
Spirited,
To a world,
Everything I knew,
I’m leaving behind,
To play a game.
Play the wind,
Trust the Seer,
Fight against this feeling
That I cannot stop,
What’s already here.
Everyone’s telling me
I’m meant to lead
Just a kid
Never did
Help a team
I’d rather just hang on back
and float the Breeze
Consorts, Dersites, Monsters, Trolls, Betty Crocker, Doomed Timelines,
Oh geez!
Help the Witch,
Fund the Knight,
If I’m having fun,
Why do I feel my
Chest growing tight?
Quell the flame
Guard the Scratch
I cant be overwhelmed
If I take a breath,
Let myself detach.
Lost my dad, Lost my friends, lost this game
If I was meant to lead, am I to blame?
We’ll try again, break the Wall, cross the Yard,
Can this thing go any faster?
Please don’t say I’ve reached all I can be.
Just a kid,
(So lost)
Hold my Breath
I can’t stand any more death
Just want to play
Growing up
Is hard
No one understands what I’m going through
Is that true for you?
Maybe I’ll
Find myself
In outer space
If I sing a song
If I sing loud enough,
Maybe soon,
You’ll sing along.
I’m scared
To admit
I failed
My friends
Is there a way
To try
Again?
Please enjoy a goofy little comic I made last year that became something I'm quite proud of! A combination of Wallace and Gromit and the hit webcomic Kill Six Billion Demons- Kill Six Billion Gromits!
ah ha! i finally found my mic! couldn't help but sing a classic with a bit of a twist! hope you like it, and if you don't, well thanks for listening to it enough to know that!
edit: lyrics below!
June Egbert!

Who ya gonna call?
June Egbert!
If Skia’s fate,

And invade your home,

You’re not alone
With a chum on your phone

Ooh, I hear she plays the wind
Hm, I ain't 'fraid of no Scratch
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

June Egbert!
Lemme tell ya something

(Oh wait, that’s the
Actual song
Err, umm, all well!)
I ain't 'fraid of no Scratch
I ain't 'fraid of no Scratch
Jokes and japes galore, oh no!

‘Fore you walk through your door,
Ya better check it once more
Who’s name you gonna call?
June Egbert!
Ow! Who ya gonna call?
June Egbert!

Who needs a-new phone to call?
June Egbert!
Who’s just gonna go?
June Egbert!
Yeah I’m, I’m going now
did not realize there was a Gollum game out so I was staring at this thumbnail like 'well damn the little dude had his problems but 22 minutes of criticism seems excessive'
