[Yet more Unjust Depths posting]

At the point where there's a mech battle involving a National Socialist aristocrat pilot screaming her head off at a psychic autistic gay catgirl, I realised that Unjust Depths may be ever so slightly silly blob-no-thoughts

I really enjoy both reading this & also posting about it, I'm having a lotta fun.

unjust depths posting up to where you arethe psychic powers were the thing i mentioned earlier. they're a staple of gundam, with almost every series involving them to a greater or lesser extent, and that's true of the genre more broadly as well. like i said, not something major but something that could potentially feel out of place without that context (though it seems like it didn't)

it is slightly silly, isn't it blob-no-thoughts

and i'm glad you're enjoying it! i am enjoying seeing you post about it, so this works out nicely

Posting in return!Oh, that didn't actually seem that weird to me c: Once the agarthite power stuff was introduced and established as basically magic that could tear holes in time? I was kinda prepped for lightly fantasy elements, plus psionics are pretty normal for scifi tbh. What's a lil psychic powers between residents of the Imbrian Empire right emilie-shrug

The battle at Vogelheim with those two verbally battering eachother though, that was the point when I was like "Gun-damn is when young people lead the military and take out their highschool drama on eachother in mechs" badeline-heh We love our slightly silly gundam-inspired underwater communism drama, don't we folks?!

Awwww well shucks y'know meow-hug

posting posting postingyeah, i figured it wouldn't read as weird, but then second guessed myself and thought i might be overestimating how common psionics are in broader scifi stuff because i've basically only been looking at mecha stuff where it's basically universal

yeah that's basically gundam! though sometimes it isn't high school drama and is instead other kinds. like, in first gundam the school drama is reserved for members of the same faction, like char and garma (who are college exes) are both from zeon, while char and amuro are meeting each other and coming to understand each other on the battlefield. of course unjust depths is better than gundam at this on account of being about lesbians and communism

Pooooooooosting!Haha what a nerd! Look at this mecha dork :)

"Coming to understand eachother on the battlefield" cute lol. Gundam has been casually on my watchlist for a long time, but I am gonna have to shed my Unjust Depths related expectations whenever I do because yeah, lesbians and communism...

mailingthe only gundams i'd say are even remotely on the same level as unjust depths are turn a gundam (basically a perfect show, not openly communist but like, has a material understanding of the world that never goes away and hates the industrialists, protagonist is probably trans? reads as such to me) and iron blooded orphans (about struggling against imperialism, but mostly about dudes and some of the women aren't treated amazingly) and though turn a especially is hitting hard i still prefer unjust depths

Psionics in sf is less common now, but it was very common throughout 20th century sf.
