Adam Conover: Connecting Comedy to Education
He made it easy to laugh at the most overwhelming topics...
Some people say that politics don’t belong in entertainment. Taking a mere glance at centuries worth of literature and playwriting would prove that this is very much not the case. Going back as far as the 1500s, you can see the great political impact that Shakespeare’s plays had on society in England. Comedy is a highly intriguing genre; there’s no boundaries as to what it must be. What a person…

Why Suletta and Miorine's story is a romance: A Mobile Suite Gundam: The Witch from Mercury story structure analysis by Sodasa
So, I recently watched The Witch from Mercury, and I felt compelled to write an analysis of the show's use of the story structure of romances. I'm a hobbyist in the history of trends in genre fiction with a particular interest in romances. I thought it would be fun to use my area of expertise to talk about how the budding relationship between Miorine and Suletta is intertwined with the story of G-Witch.
Something particular about the romance genre is that, unlike other genres of fiction, it's mostly defined by its story structure. This means that just because a story is about two people getting together does not automatically make it a romance in the same way having magic in a story qualifies it as a fantasy. The flip side of this is that while you can't have a fantasy without fantastical elements, a romance can be put in any setting. As long as the story hits the required plot beats, it's still a romance. This makes Romance simultaneously one of the strictest and most versatile genres, as the plot can be anything as long as it ties into the main characters' developing relationship. Use this structure in a story about financial politics and mechs, and you get a story like The Witch from Mercury.
I think the show uses this structure very effectively. In my opinion, a great romance should, first and foremost, be an exploration of the part of the human condition where previous bad experiences make us reject intimacy. The romance story structure is designed to have the characters come face-to-face with their inner demons by giving them a reason to overcome them. Something that's a lot harder to pull off outside of romances, as not many things in life require us to overcome some of our deepest insecurities instead of just pushing them down.
G-Witch is a great show to use as an example of what makes a romance a romance as it follows the story structure almost to a tee, but it's also not the kind of story that most people usually think of when picturing a romance. I also believe that seeing the show through the lens of the romance structure leads to some juicy character psychoanalysis for Suletta and Miorine. I'll go over all the plot beats of a romance and explain how they apply to G-Witch and, if applicable, why I think you don't see those plot beats outside of romances. The names of the plot beats are taken from "Romancing the Beat: Story Structure for Romance Novels" by Gwen Hayes, which is also my primary source, along with my own extensive experience with the romance genre.

I hope someone gets something out of this. I have seen some excellent analyses and theories for this show, but they have been on things I don't know much about myself. Since the only part of story analysis I excel at is the structure of romances, I thought I'd lend my own area of expertise. I want to clarify that while I might sound matter-of-fact, this is just my opinion. I'm by no means saying that you have to think that G-Witch is a romance. I'm just arguing for why I personally consider it to be one.

Recovered key cels from Myxomagrizer: Antediluvian, a cancelled prequel to the legendary ultraviolent lost media OVA Myxomagrizer. Cels were uncovered by twitter user @anne_tifah. Context of key cels unknown, as, unlike Myxomagrizer, M:A never saw any form of public release.
Please consider tagging any recovered plot information, uncovered fanart, or discovered cels or frames from either Myxomagrizer or Myxomagrizer: Antediluvian with #Myxomagrizer so that all pertinent information can be kept in one place. Thank you.

Zoids Mugen Liger - Supernova ZA (3rd party kit)
Finally built the Mugen, completing my Genesis Liger trio! Another really great kit, I really enjoy the Supernova Zoids. For bootleg/3rd party kits, they go together really smoothly with minimal problems, and their quality is very consistent. I hope they continue to do Zoids designs, but in the meantime I've got their Sturm Tyrann and Feedom Freedom Wings in the backlog!

A gunner turned craftsmen, AE-17 has stripped back most of its combat hardware, making an existence repairing equipment for those transversing the edge of the ridge. Built by Caltic Engineering, the Aegis series of combat automaton are self-aware constructs. Built over a thousand years after the wars of corruption and the end of the Azernexian empire. Their line was produced to serve in an on and off conflict known as the five century war between the Tenebraen Republic and the territories of the Stromean Realms. Through the course of the war, Cacean infantry, dissatisfied with the limited AI given to the constructs by tenebraen programmers, began to illegally modify units with patched programming, which was then shared among other networked units. This allowed their AI to rapidly evolve and develop based on their encounters on the field. By the time the war finally ended, and caltic engineering was liquidated, an estimated 88% of active units had received the update. of these, less then a third were able to be collected. Those that remained scattered throughout the edges of Tenebrean territories, among Cacean tribe regions and the newly formed Demitronian state, forging an existence for themselves.

||On the midnight train, fire and ice in my veins/Pretty name, new flame, pretty out of my lane/And though it don't equate, I am lost by grace/I'm afraid, this time, things will be too grave||
Ambassador scribble after quite a while!!! been thinking about him pretty heavily the last few days tho LOL
uh been scrobbling him and his chest piece has morphed more and more explicitly into a heart which works 👍 not seen here but he's also gained hooves instead of talons on his feetz and I've brought back his extendable gliding wings!!! he's literally like built up his favourite body combo like when ur a kid smashing animal parts u think r cool together to make some new cool monster and he loves it!! enriching for the robot.

Honestly, the complicated series of chunky analogue switches you have to flip on startup doesn't actually do anything – it's just there to make sure you're sober enough to pilot the giant death robot.

A drawing of the original Mecha Sonic, but with his cape from the Scrapnik Island comic. This is the culmination of me rewatching SMBZ, re-listening to Doomsday Zone, and reading the IDW comic.

AE-0077 also known as Sev, is an Aegis series currently living in the mining city of Vita Crystali in the Erdani region, on the edge of Collective territory and the largely unexplored and abandoned systems of the ridge. A Signal construct of the Five century war who has kept some aspects of his wartime armor, he works a local salvage yard with Yosef, an augmented veteran of the war. Getting back into some more character bust sketches to warm things back up as the year winds down. ^^
