Finally fully finished my first gunpla! Picked up a couple sets last month, and this is the first one I've done the whole panel lining + paint + topcoat on. Next up is calibarn, that one including an aftermarket decal set too. Some detail shots after the read more!

#gundam #gunpla #really really happy with how this turned out #though i do want to redo the painting on the shield at some point #the other kits i have are hg aerial and calibarn as well as full mechanics aerial and the mg unicorn (that one is still in the box)

Suletta when she pilots Calibarn:

#gwitch spoilers #g witch #gundam the witch from mercury #suletta mercury #witch from mercury #the witch from mercury #gwitch episode 21 #They're lowkey pushing Suletta getting fried so hard that I feel like the opposite is gonna happen #if Calibarn was developed around the same time as Lfrith #then it's not outside the realm of possibility that Suletta will have the same compatibility like Eri had to Lfrith #she is a genetic clone after all #It's still gonna hurt like a bitch but she'll be fine #right?

Gave magenta eyes to my Calibarn so they combine with their gay little v fin and the gay permet score lines

#[ I still find it super interesting that Suletta ends up piloting a completely different #Gundam that isn’t her sister near the end of the show and a part of me wants to give her more time to actually use it #I’d only be able to do that in roleplays by playing around with #time I guess? Becsuse while I do LOVE her piloting Aerial and people finding out this Gundam is alive because #it’s her sister/genetic origin that got stuffed into a giant robot and how could you #explain that to people lol but I also love her using the Calibarn which doesn’t have any of that and she isn’t protected #by the data storm/curse which I would love to have more time of her dealing with even before she ends up being crippled from it all #like for others to actually fight her in the Calibarn would be interesting but again that would have to be some AU plotline BS to even #let that happen in a RP aha.

Man of the year really is going to Guel, what an ally! That duel might not have been needed but it wasn't pointless to Suletta! Anyway, I hope king doesn't die to his lamer incel-ish brother next week. If anyone has to bite the big one let it be the lesser Jeturk 😭

There comes a time in a man's life where you get tired of your fiancée and your crush pining after each other and you just decide to take one last L like a champ. Also the scene where he questions Suletta's decisions and Miorine glares at him so hard he has to literally slap himself will never not be funny. I stan one man

#i don't even know why lauda is there. he has done Nothing throughout the show and now he's taking up precious screentime in the finale #i was so caught in the euphoria of suletta driving calibarn that for a moment i lived in a world where lauda did not exist #he showed up and i was like 'ah right we still need to deal with this fucking guy' #like my dude you're doing this now??? NOW???

[the-eeveekins]

I love that G-Witch didn't shy away from this. We see Suletta's crutches in multiple shots, see that she has permet scars on her face. She says that even after 3 years she's still gradually regaining control of her body. It's clear that piloting the Calibarn took a heavy toll on her and left her disabled afterwards, and that the last 3 years haven't been easy for her to get to where she is now.

But the thought of Miorine being there every step of the way for Suletta's rehab and physical therapy, helping her while she couldn't walk and taking care of her every need just has me so emotional.

Suletta's sheer determination to move normally again so she can tend the farm with Miorine, go on walks with her, and even walk down the aisle for their wedding. And the sheer joy Miorine must feel every time she sees Suletta walking again after she thought she had lost her forever during Quiet Zero and all the hard work her wife has put in the last 3 years.

I've been a bit nervous about sharing my gunpla here, but I've finally pulled together some courage for at least this.

I'm still pretty proud of how my Calibarn came out. It's the second most recent kit I've completed, so there's that as well.

#the witch from mercury #g witch #gundam #gundam calibarn #gunpla #PastelRaccoon Rambles #i also didnt do too much to it #just panel lining and as good of nub removal as i could do

[ferhog]

So my thought process was “Oh cool, Calibarn’s equipped with one of those heavy-duty beam rifles like the Zeta Plus C1 is equipped with.”

Followed by me seeing it open up and audibly screaming “IT’S A F*CKING WITCH’S BROOM?!”

This is the best use of incorporating witch iconography into the final form of the main protagonist since The Owl House! Which was only two months ago but still!

This is officially the new formula for peak fiction.

the capitalism/overconsumption is bad leaving my body when i see chibified sulemio

bought the lookup sulemio figures and they're sooooo cute... personally since i got into g-witch, i think i've been buying more character goods, some unofficial, than kits lol (i only have hg calibarn, hg aerial, ninja aerial so far). i was at first thinking of buying only the cat miorine but a local store had both the lookup figures on discount so i had to grab the set. really cute addition to my desk or shelf that i still need to sort out.

here are some pics of the sides of the boxes. they misspell suletta's name lol.

a lil photoshoot

pls excuse my baby hands and the messy desk

[circlique]

I imagine that Suletta had to spend a lot of time recovering from piloting the calibarn and Miorine of course was by her side helping her every step of the way. Maybe on bad days when Suletta is still in pain and it gets too bad she helps her by massaging the spots that hurt most, maybe even while applying whatever meds/cremes she needs to recover better etc.

I'm so sorry I let this (and other requests) sit in my inbox for a month! Please have Suletta gazing at her wife lovingly while she massages the stiffness in her hands!

Ok so incoming gunpla post about tools:

So you’ve started building! It’s fun! It’s cathartic! And they look so cool!

But…

You kinda want them to look Even Cooler.

You also don’t have a ton of cash and you’re feeling intimidated by how deep this hobby can take you (you’ve seen those cool customs online). No worries! Here’s a couple cheapish (<$40) tools to help you get rolling on taking your kits to the next level.

1) Sanding Sponge/Glass File

These are great bc 1) they’re cheap and 2) do the job wonderfully. Specifically they’re for helping to remove Nub marks off the price you’ve cut from the runner. If you don’t know, Nubs are the leftover plastic still attached to the piece after you’ve clipped it from the runner, they’re important to remove bc of how the kit is engineered. Moving gimmicks or the sturdiness of the kit could be compromised if your pieces can’t fit flush.

The sponge is the cheapest option but it also runs out at some point and you’ll need to replace them. However, the glass file will simply just keep rolling. I bought mine from Newtype about a year and a half ago and it’s still doing great. I believe Walmart might have even cheaper options.

2) Gundam Marker

So you know those grooves on a part that’s sunken in? Those are called Panel Lines! Using this pen (it’s basically a Micron pen) you can color in these lines to help give your kit extra depth. This is especially great on kits that are primarily a single color with few variations (think Calibarn).

All you do is draw in your line and then wipe away with your finger or paper towel or what have you. These are super cheap and you’ll run through half a dozen or so HG’s or even MG’s before you need to think about getting a new one. With this you also don’t need to worry about top coating or being mindful about what you’re applying it over (unlike other panel liners where you need to keep some chemistry in mind).

3) Single Blade Nippers

So these are the most expensive item and while double blade nippers work absolutely, you’ll end up creating less work for yourself with single blade nippers as they can make cleaner cuts off the runner meaning you have less nub to clean up.

These ones I snagged from USA Gundam Store (they give a discount for snagging these) and they work great. Not the greatest durability over multiple kits as they really lose that initial sharpness over the first kit or two, but they stay sharp enough to do the job well. There’s several different options out there (some as expensive as $60 or so) but starting out a cheaper pair is great to have.

I used double sided nippers for the longest time but after switching I firmly believe they’re worth the extra $$ to invest in.

To elaborate on 2 bladed vs single bladed a bit: double blades cut from both sides (obviously) but what this means is that there is stress being applied to the piece from each side. This causes stress marks (if you’ve seen a white spot left behind after a clip that’s a stress mark) which either need cleaned up and painted over or it causes a crater in the part (especially easy to do when the nub is especially large) which either never gets fixed or you need to use tamiya cement to melt plastic and then puddy it innnnn and thennnnn sand everything againnnnn and it’s a pain.

Save yourself the headache. Singe blade nippers are the way. I especially hate those beginner nippers that look like this

I hope this helps you dig a little further down into the plastic crack rabbit hole! With just a little extra effort you can really make your kits pop. You can do it!

As always I really love seeing all the new people building gunpla and making it their own (special shout out to that person who bedazzled their guncannon). Love ya friendos

#I’ve been meaning to make this for a while #make sure to check the notes bc I’m sure other will add other easy tools #which is TOTALLY fine to do btw! #good luck peeps #gunpla #gundam #wfm #g witch #witch from mercury #plamo

[luxwing]

HG Calibarn is finally finished! Used the G-Rework decals and I think it turned out really well. Unfortunately, while a solid white Gundam looks really cool, any mistakes you make on it will be hard as hell to hide later. BUT it was still fun to build. Surprisingly detailed and articulated for an RG, I can see why so many people sing its praises.

Now I guess I should finally watch Witch from Mercury.

My Top 10 Sulemio moments

It's been a whole week now since our girls' story ended but the brain rot remains, so I'm listing out my favourite Sulemio moments from the show.

List is going under the read more because it is long and has many images.

Number 10 is this small conversation from Episode 9 between Suletta and Shaddiq. The reason I love this so much is that it’s the first time that Suletta really takes pride in the fact that she’s Miorine’s groom. A lot of people are of the belief that Suletta first starts really developing romantic feelings for Miorine after Episode 7, and I think this scene really highlights that change in Suletta’s feelings.

The other noteworthy thing here is that it really illustrates the difference between Suletta and most of the other people in Miorine’s life which is that she actually trusts Miorine to make her own decisions.

Number 9 is the late-night conversation between Suletta and Miorine in Episode 4. I love this scene not just because it’s the first time where they really start to learn more about each other, but also because it does set up the parts of their character that would cause problems for them later. Suletta is proud to carry the expectations of Mercury because she loves the idea that she can be useful to them, whereas Miorine thinks it’s an unfair burden to carry. It’s a nice set-up for the later drama to come when these two aspects of their personalities clash.

And this is something that I really love about Suletta and Miorine’s relationship. When there is friction between them, it always comes from a place that is true to the characters rather than the drama coming from forced “misunderstandings.”

Also, there’s only one bed in Miorine’s living area and Suletta certainly wasn’t leaving to go back to whether she slept before she joined up with Earth House that late at night. They 100% shared that bed.

Speaking of friction between the two characters, here’s Number 8 on the list, the Greenhouse conversation from Episode 16.

I find Miorine’s desperation in this scene to be really heartbreaking, she’s looking for any sign, no matter how small, that Suletta might go against Prospera’s wishes if the circumstances were right, but Suletta’s still in too deep at this point. The fact that Miorine is visibly hurt by the conversation here says so much, considering how far she’s previously gone to maintain her composure. Even during the big emotional moment in Episode 11, she doesn’t want Suletta to see her cry, but here she genuinely breaks emotionally and can’t hold it in at all when Suletta admits that she would kill for her mother.

Number 7 is Suletta reaching Permet Score 5 and it’s a moment I love for more or less the same reason I love the previous scene, any scene where a normally stoic character really shows how much they care is an incredible scene in my opinion.

And of course, everything leading up that is excellent too. Miorine choosing to trust Suletta’s decision to pilot the Calibarn despite the very real dangers, even pushing to activate higher levels of Permet when the others were hesitating is a perfect display of Miorine’s faith in Suletta, and a perfect turnaround from her earlier, misguided attempt to protect Suletta from the Gundam’s Curse.

At Number 6 we have the moment that this show left me with permanent emotional scars.

Miorine forcing herself to abandon Suletta for “her own good” was always going to be heartbreaking, but they really twisted the knife by having Suletta fantasize about their perfect wedding while Miorine’s fingers hovered over the trigger. And then on top of all that, they just had to go and play the damn Happy Birthday song AND have Miorine tossing back cool-san! Like, they really stuck the boot in there.

Like, when I was re-watching the show, I have to admit I found it genuinely difficult to re-watch this scene again and that’s how you know it was really well done. Suletta begging for another chance while her entire life crumbles around her haunts me.

Show of hands, how many people started watching the show because of this exact scene? Cause seeing people talk about this moment was definitely what got me to watch the first episode.

Don’t think I have to elaborate too much on how good this scene is or what it means for their relationship, but I will say that Suletta’s reaction when she finds out she’s engaged is probably still my favourite Suletta face.

Also, Miorine completely sidestepping the potential “but we’re both girls tho?” drama by talking about how common gay marriage is was perfection.

More shows should have that amount of courage.

Number 4 is the happy ending. After everything these two went through over the course of the show and also some of the dumb stuff that was said about their relationship by real people, seeing them end the show married, in love and living their best lives was unbelievably cathartic.

Also, extra bonus points for having Suletta end the show disabled and not having it treated as an awful tragedy that mars the happy ending or having it be something that she can just overcome with sufficient willpower.

While I would have loved to have seen the wedding on-screen, the fact that we ended the show with married sapphic women in as big a franchise as Gundam is already pretty incredible.

Wedding OVA when tho?

At Number 3 we have Suletta and Miorine using healthy communication for the first time!

As I said earlier, one of the things I love about the relationship between Suletta and Miorine is that any drama between them is true to their characters, Suletta is insecure in her relationships and needs to feel “needed” to feel safety in those relationships and Miorine is cold and closed off emotionally since her upbringing makes it hard for her to trust. As such both of them have trouble communicating exactly how they feel.

That being said, in order to be truly great, conflict and drama needs to be followed up with by a satisfying resolution. And in terms of providing a satisfying resolution to all that drama, they absolutely knocked it out of the park in this scene. Miorine explaining to Suletta how much her life has been changed for the better since they met, actively working to accommodate Suletta’s desire to feel useful and asking to be together forever. Like everything here was exactly what it needed to be.

Also, as well-done as the emotions were here, it would be remiss of me not to mention the goofy looney tunes style chase scene that proceeded it was also brilliant.

The number 2 spot on the list goes to the formation of Gund-Arm inc.

When we meet Miorine she is very upfront that her one and only goal is to escape the Benerit Group and go to Earth. Although she passes up on the chance to escape from Earth to save Suletta in Episode 2, she’s still pretty clear about what her ultimate goal is. Although it goes unsaid for several episodes after this, this is the moment that Miorine decides that keeping Suletta safe is more important than making it to Earth by willingly tying herself to a Benerit Group company just to keep Suletta and Aerial safe. Even bowing before her father and begging for his help, probably the last thing that Miorine ever wanted to do, in order to make sure her plan worked. If this scene doesn’t illustrate just how much Miorine was in love with Suletta even at this early stage of the story, I don’t know what will.

In addition to the scene just being completely incredible in every way, the other reason it ends up so high on this list is because this scene marks a pretty clear turning point in Suletta’s feelings for Miorine. I think most people now, generally agree that this scene is probably where Suletta starts falling for Miorine for real, and after rewatching the show I think that idea comes across very clearly. From this point onward, Suletta clearly takes a lot more pride in her title of Groom, she’s a lot more openly affectionate towards Miorine, and also a lot more concerned about how Miorine perceives their relationship.

So yeah, awesome scene, huge turning point in their relationship, Number 2 spot.

And finally, we reach my number one favourite Sulemio scene, their reunion in Episode 22.

Just take everything that I said about the scene from Episode 11 and multiply it by 10. Suletta reappearing in Miorine’s darkest hour to remind her to keep moving forward was everything I needed after a rough couple of episodes for Miorine.

Also, the whole scene is just a perfect show of how Suletta developed over the course of the show. Suletta starts the show shy, insecure in her relationships, not particularly confident in her words, and following orders rather than working toward her own goals.

Here, Suletta is able to speak with complete confidence about how Miorine changed her life, about the things that she’s done wrong and the things she wants do better, and about her desires for the future.

Of all the scenes in this show, this is the one that had me tearing up the most, and for that, it absolutely deserves the number 1 spot on my list.

Also, that handholding. Hoo boy, that is the most emotionally intimate handholding I’ve seen in my life.

So yeah, that's my list of my favourite Sulemio moments. If your favourite scene wasn't one of the ones that made my list, then tell me about what made you love that scene so much because I love this show, and I love these characters and I will read anything about them.
