Tsui Choi; Whatever Our Fate, Let Us Meet It As Jedi

Tsui Choi; “Whatever our fate, let us meet it as Jedi”

Star Wars fans who insist that their favourite character is some random schmuck who appears on screen for two seconds and doesn’t say or do anything and are being completely, genuinely unironic are some of my favourite people.

VENUS WARS (1989)

Mœbius

Just a question. Being a die hard GW fan that i am im kind of nervous to check out Frozen Teardrop, would you recommend checking it out or staying away from it?

I think that depends on what you want from it.

Like, if you want a continuation of Gundam Wing - with the same characters you know and love, growing and overcoming new and exciting hardships that develop them as individuals and as friends? Stay away from Frozen Teardrop.

If you want to see 1xR be cemented as canon? Maybe read Frozen Teardrop. They’re endgame, but then you have to ask yourself - was it worth it? Was it really worth the sacrifice of reading this? Are they even Heero and Relena anymore? You just don’t know anymore. Some part of you hopes they’re nanobot clones like fake!Zechs, so that you don’t have to think about what kind of horrible, sick asshole not only thought up the plan of cryogenically freezing a couple traumatized teenagers to use like tools at a later date, but that their loved ones totally agreed with this plan.

If you want to look at pretty art and check out the new Gundam designs? Totally check out Frozen Teardrop. It is pretty. It’s so nice to look at, you almost forgive the fact that they are essentially copying&pasting the same character design over several different characters and handwave it as ‘they’re blood-related.’

I’ve only managed to read half of it, though; the translation I found online only got to Nocturne V. I only know what happens in later chapters through online summaries. If you’re interested in reading it, you can read it here. (If anyone else has links to more chapters in English, please send it my way~)

If you still want to know what kind of happens in Frozen Teardrop but don’t actually want to read it (which is understandable), you can check out @gladyscontrerasart - who did a short comic collection called ‘GW Frozen Teardrop Shenanigans’. It’s hilarious and perfectly captures the GW fandom’s reaction to FT in general.

Built a thing.

Pretty much me every day.
