Heero: I asked Relena to share her queen size blanket.

Heero: To which she replied that she was a queen and therefore the blanket was already at max capacity.

Trowa: I know a few words in Latin.

Duo: Like what?

Trowa: “Exorcisamus te omnis immundus spiritus and christo.”

Duo: What about “hello”?

Trowa: No.

Wufei: Of course you’d know how to exorcise a demon but not how to say hello.

Duo: Time sensitive question - will geese kill if provoked?

Trowa: What did you do?

Duo: We both know the answer to that, Tro.

Duo:

Wufei:

Heero: I choose dare.

Duo: Y’all think lava would taste spicy?

Quatre: Please don’t eat lava

Heero: Do whatever you want Duo

Trowa: Actually since it’s made of molten rock, it’d probably taste very bland and dusty

Duo: Trowa you’re the only one who fucking understands

Wufei: Once you get past my general air of disdain, defensive and poor communication skills, emotional barriers, extreme moodiness, all while dodging my continuous attacks to push you away… 

Wufei: I’m actually a really soft and fun person to be around.

Duo: CAN I GET A HELL YEAH?!

Wufei: I don’t know, can you?

I really really appreciate that this person went off and I TRULY do think this is a conversation that needs to be had more and more.

I am not going to reiterate or repeat anything they said above, but I want to share my personal feeling on a subtler aspect of this issue.

People don’t want to talk about pregnancy as a potentially dangerous and lifethreatening condition because many of them believe it is necessary for a full and meaningful life. Unfortunately, many many of the people who  believe this are not also the people who would be carrying the baby.

Our social narratives are all largely amatonormative, and beneath that, bioessential. That is, they operate on a sort of supremacy of the body, as well as the nuclear family narrative. What this means is that most people are raised and pressured into believing that a) having a baby is a MUST for a meaningful life (hidden agenda: have someone to take care of you when you’re old bc amatonormative society isolates family units and ostracizes seniors) and b) it is the birthing of the child that gives this meaning- no other form of childcare is meaningful.

Now before I go on I am NOT JUDGING anyone’s life, desires or dreams, I am critiquing the social narratives that we are raised with.

Anyway that last bolded point is why there;s all the talk in the world about ‘starting a family’ via childbirth and an entire industry geared towards enhancing fertility when pregnancies are not forthcoming (and many  many people who stress themselves out trying to have a baby, feeling guilty or broken because the social and relationship pressures to fulfill this ideal) meanwhile adoption continues to be seen as a third- not second option. Present, living children are less important than the ideal of childbirth forced on people.

And I say ‘forced’ because it is an expectation. It is an ever-present social narrative. And it goes hand in hand with the fact that it is seen as taboo or shameful to talk about pregnancy as difficult, dangerous, and not necessarily all sunshine and smiles.

Mothers are shamed for feeling less than joyful about this very dangerous experience, and by that others are also shamed for feeling averse or apprehensive about pregnancy. It is an intentionally created false narrative that plays into the hands of patriarchy- because a grand amount of this pressure and related apathy (”oh it’s not a big deal, it’s just pregnancy!” says someone who isn’t carrying the baby..) continues to allow men to pressure women into having children (”THEIR” children– unlike, say, an adopted child) just so they can feel the pride of having sired a child (even though their contribution is oh so genetically and energetically small).

If we talked more honestly about pregnancy and childbirth, we might have to validate the concerns and lifestyles of uterus-bearing people who were expected to want to become pregnant. Men might have to just back down and shut up about wanting to create ‘kids of their own’ through someone else’s body. We as a people might have to think twice about acting as if pregnancy is inherently positive when this society is not actually capable of offering healthy supportive pregnancies to most pregnant people because a society that treats poor and black people this badly as well as one that isolates families into these tiny units isn’t capable of giving pregnant people the considerable care and support they need at such a precarious time.

Pregnancy is pregnancy– that’s it. Things do not inherently mean anything aside from the meaning we assign to them–therefore pregnancy and childbirth are not inherently positive nor is it necessary for a meaningful life.

When we do not speak openly and honestly about pregnancy, we are not letting people make informed choices about their bodies; this is not informed consent.

One very common mistake among beginning writers is to write “Verbing, she verbed” when it would be better to write “She verbed and verbed.”

For instance, take this sentence:

Unlocking the door, she got into the car.

Taken at face value, this sentence tells you that she got into the car even though she was still in the process of unlocking it. That’s impossible. You need to unlock the door first, and only then can you get in the car  Here’s how that sentence should look instead:

She unlocked the door and got in the car.

Somebody said that this is nitpicking. You can see it that way, I suppose. But you can also see it as a choice between writing something else than what you meant to, or simply saying what you mean. And isn’t that choice fairly easy?

Instructor H: Don’t worry, you’ve got everything you need to defeat them.

Quatre: The power to believe in myself?

Instructor H: No, a Gundam.

Instructor H: Annihilate them.

Heero: Apparently at some point when Relena and I were flirting with each other but not quite in a relationship, she asked me how I felt about pet names, to which I replied “well you have to call them something”

Wufei: So she’s moronsexual...

Heero: Don’t call her a moron

Heero: Wait

Relena: I want to hear those three little words.

Heero: I love you.

Relena: That’s sweet, but try again.

Heero: Fine. I will behave.

Quatre: Do you want to know your gay name?

Trowa: My gay name?

Quatre: Yes, it’s your first name-

Trowa: Oh, haha, I get it-

Quatre, getting down on one knee:   -and my last name

Trowa: Oh my god

Trowa: [groans]

Quatre: Are you alright, Trowa?

Trowa: Just a little tooth pain. I’m fine, continue.

Quatre: Ok, each faction will be getting blue bins…

Trowa: [groans louder]

Wufei: Do you need to go to the dentist, Barton?

Trowa: I don’t like dentists. Just a second. [pulls out pliers]

Duo: HEY!

Quatre: Oh no no.

Wufei: No no no no no!

Heero: [excited look]

Trowa: [pulls out front tooth]

Gundam Pilots: [Screaming]

Duo: WHAT THE FUCK?!

Wufei: OH MY GOD!

Trowa: I’m sorry, everybody. What were we talking about? Recycling?

Trowa: [to the camera] Dentist pulled the tooth out yesterday. But it’s always a good idea to demonstrate to your comrades that you’re capable of withstanding tremendous amounts of pain.

Quatre: [describing a highly-complex, extremely vital plan]

Howard: Hold on!! Quatre, how old are you?

Quatre: I’m fifteen, Mr. Howard.

Howard, turning to Sally: Oh, good. He’s fifteen.

I wonder if Relena Darlian/Peacecraft would be better received as a character in fandom if Gundam Wing were airing now.

I mean first of all, the part where haters would call her a “psycho” was 1. super ableist, and 2. showed that they didn’t know how to properly read media. Relena beckoning Heero to “come kill her” is her wanting to see him again, to figure out what his deal is, and more broadly, what all this stuff going on in the world is. It’s not her literally asking to be murdered.

BUT ALSO, those lines probably read as fairly relatable to people now.

This whole time Relena “Come Kill Me Heero” Darlian was just a millennial.

Heero: Get off my chair. Please. Or else.

Quatre: I’m teaching him to be more polite.

Heero: Please get off my chair please. Or else please. I will kill you please.

Duo: It’s working.

Heero, in the distance: Get fucked, shithead, please! Or else. Please.

Wufei, to his own internal private log: It’s day 5 of being locked in with Yuy and Maxwell. I don’t know how much more I can take. They’re driving me-

Duo: [to the tune of Final Countdown] IT’S A MENTAL BREAKDOWN

Heero: [off-key kazoo]

Wufei:…

Wufei: …fucking insane.

Duo: Have you- Have you ever just… chilled out?

Wufei: Once, in AC 184. Then I vowed to never do it again. Worst year of my life.

Duo: …You were 4.

Wufei: And it was the worst year of my life.
