G Witch - Tumblr Posts
Loving the collar design here, it reminds me of those big collared Zeon ones. Also like how organic it looks, like teeth or an oystershell, or exposed flesh cells.
Question; would the shield eye be static? Or would it move around like a bubble?
I like the little dress caps as well. Did you have a certain scene in mind for this (Sabinaβs expression seems purposeful to me)?

I feel like someone could write a 2 hour video essay about the similarities of the Zero System from Gundam Wing and the Gund Format from G Witch.
Silly Poll For Those Who Have Watched The Witch from Mercury
Below are two automobiles:
The 1962 Pontiac Tempest
The 1972 Mercury Cougar
UPDATE: The Destiel/Supernats aren't taking this well -- explaining my reasoning for the history I gave, and why Destiel is not the big bitch of shipping that it thinks it is
An update to THIS:
"This is just a marketing thing, Gundam is a giant robot show, only men watch it!"
Gundam's fandom is silent majoratively feminine:
"But its not gay, its about giant robots!"
Gundam is very gay. The entire climax of the first story is a riff of Yukio Mishima lmao
The climax of the Amuro/Char arc of Universal Century Gundam (expounding from first Gundam circa 1979), Char's Counterattack is somewhat on the history of Japanese disillusion with liberalism which notably climaxed with the life and history of Yukio Mishima.
You know. THAT Yukio Mishima.
The one who wrote FORBIDDEN COLOURS.
It was so gay that the fanfiction inspired by it became its own damn anime:
And that's just Charmuro, let alone Charma or a billion other ships just in OG Gundam alone.
We've got This is before we get to Guin Sard Lineford and Yamagi Glimerton (both verrrrry gay), Tieria Erde (a genderqueer trans-coded character who transcends gender entirely in their arc) and a bunch of others.
Gundam was always gay.
"I don't see the numbers"
"That doesn't seem like much, Supernat is at least 2x this"
Sooooo the amount of content you do see isn't representative of how much even got written, given FFN had a huge content purge.
First, let's start with the relative proportion of users: If we're analysing the concept of fandom, we first have to look at who had access to the internet in the first place to publish works.
Yeah that's a pretty sizable difference.
Wing's fandom actually exploded in 2000, but got capped VERY early, distributing itself to fansites when FFN fragmented and collapsed.
Why?
Content purges!
"Isn't there some sort of online archive of this stuff?"
Sure, if you wanna dig through tons and tons of Angelfire and Geocities pages which have mostly disappeared. Otherwise, no! There is no archive of this stuff?
"Why?"
They've since rolled back on this but it means there's a massive amount of lost media out there, including the discussions on it and thus there's an entire history you didn't get to experience.
Its actually very difficult to reach people who've been involved, since it was so long ago that very few people remember, and a sizable proportion of that population have actually died.
"But what about SF fandoms? We have ancient records of stuff like Spirk!"
See unlike physical media like zines, when a server goes offline or there's a data-loss, or something like that there is no surviving copy of the thing in question.
The net result is we have this weird hole where content just vanished, and its now considered lost media. The work of many artists, designers, writers, even videos of events are just lost media because we didn't have the archival mentality adults develop.
You're not gonna hear about all the X-Files stuff or Frasier fanfictions or GW stuff because of these purges and the lack of physical media. FFN users were teens, not adults with resources like US/EU/JP SF fans, who had archival tendencies due to their long history.
So there is this supermassive black-hole in the history of fanfiction running between 1998, and 2008 and some of the only evidence of it are worksafe works and fansites which the owners have long since forgotten about because folks moved on. Moving on is a normal part of fandom.
So to those of you just saying "supernatural is losing to a pair of dumb anime girls" or "urgh this is just a trend tumblr will get over it and go back to supernatural"...
Uhhhhh no they won't, actually?
Supernat's fans mostly seem to be waspy Americans. Gundam is kind of a global phenomenon, one which has traditionally had a silent majority female audience, a vocal minority male audience -- and every time that majority has spoken up, its coincided with a content purge, or a TOS change that mysteriously biases American derived fiction over Japanese derived fiction.
Funny that.
tl;dr:
NATURE IS HEALING
Nortrette definitely had a hand in Suletta's creation, i can tell
First off, how DARE you, good sir, come into MY house and dangle in front of ME, committed Rosebird-parents conspiracy theorist, the prospect of our plucky, upbeat, trauma-ridden, redheaded heroine turning out to have two moms... one of whom is also the mother of said heroine's love-interest/future-wife?
Second... yeah I can totally see your point and honestly I agree with it completely. Even if I HATE how hard it's triggering the Rosebird-parents part of my brain.
Based: Suletta is trans
Woke: Miorine is trans
Bespoke: they're t4t

Miorine: This is yesterday's specification sheet, but can we do something a little more? Ojelo: Wow, that's quite packed, isn't it? Nika: Hi there. M: But then the buyer... Nika? N: This is a Haro bike for toddlers, so I thought I'd give it a test drive. Chuchu: Oy, spacer, are you going to work with me now? M: Watch your language! Suletta: Ms. Miorine, you're done for the day~ M: That went faster than I expected.
