"How'd I get here? Ah, it's a long story. I graduated from UMSOT (Undergrad MS Operator training) and test pilot school in '77, back when it was on side 6. Oh, yeah, back then it was something different, we didn't have mobile suits back then, it was MWOTC... Anyways, when the war started, I was a ball pilot for a few weeks, flew three sorties and scored a lucky kill on a Zaku I, and 'cause I was the only one with a kill under my belt, I got chosen to fly with some secret squirrel things on the White Base (back then they just called it the Pegasus). Turns out in order to work on that top secret, feddie zaku ripoff, we couldn't be active EFSF personnel. We got discharged from the service so we could fly for some private shell company. Yeah, we lost MIL benefits, but the pay was so good we figured we'd go for it. We had three weeks to study the manuals and get trained on the simulators while we flew out to our assignment. They put me on the RX-78(a3/4) , but when we were en route to rendezvous to Side 7, the EFSF gave me my walking papers. Turns out, get...get THIS shit: They didn't "need my services any more." Can you believe that? One of the only guys trained on their new, crazy invincible MS, and they fired me.They tossed me, an ace, a qualified TEST PILOT out on my ASS. FOR A G/D FOURTEEN YEAR OLD. Yeah, you know who?! It was the doctor's kid, right? Remember that Tamm Ray guy from the training videos? Yeah, he got HIS kid to be the gundam pilot. Oh, no they tossed all of us. The entire team of mobile suit pilots, gone. Didn't even reassign us. So we're sittin' there, just lookin out the window, watching the stars go by, just angry as all hell, y'know? Fuming. I get an idea, right? So I says to the other guys, who cares? The zeeks need us more than the feddies do, so I went up front, showed the captain our discharge papers, and turned that sum'bitch around. Anyways, long story short, boy do those GM's explode easy! Oh man, jokes on them, the feddies drafted a LOT of stupid 14 year olds to drive those death traps.....so uh, what brings you to Axis?"

I feel like the fact that he excels in a marketable skill and is set up to inherit a business is often overlooked when people talk about how segregable he is (which happens often, people constantly get caught up on him lacking confidence and ignore all his positive traits.), he's a good investment.

She’s portrayed as a bonafide nerd, just hot. Having a literal A+ custom tailor fully dedicated to her is a dream come true. It means she can reach the top of the cosplay game and live out all her dreams, ALL while she has a tall hunky guy to monopolize in front of all those girls.

Early on it shows how she really wants an honest heart, she’s got the trappings of a skank but she doesn’t light frivolous dudes. That’s why nerd boy is a good match. Also the tall frame, wide shoulders and old-man kimono thing really works, according to my chick

Just forget it. Whenever a girl ghosted me I’d just treat her like it was square 1 again.

I had a fren who got a concussion and had a habit of just feigining ignorance because “everything was fuzzy” and it was easier than trying to remember who he knew. I came to appreciate it because it gets rid of their triumph of imagining you being all broken up by it, as long as you can keep a poker face (austistic face blindness helps here too)

“hey sorry about not calling……I….”

(you give a quizzical look like you’re thinking you asked her to grab your mail or something)

“y’know, you wanted to be walking buddies?”

(half-cock your head to the side and shrug)

“uh, sure, it’s fine, I’m good. Thanks”

Gosh that fireworks one with the nape is SO on point. It’s so refreshing having these stories actually be written by someone who’s either a woman or dated one.

It’s the little things that girls do that are so enchanting - the way he compliments her idly - ONCE - and she immediately goes from zero to sixty thinking he LOVES her neck is precious. She’s walking around always conscious of showing it off to him at just the right angle, wherever he is.

I’m such a sucker for romance stuff. Few shows really capture that delicious bouquet of feelings you chase in the beginning, where every little step and gesture of a relationship has all kinds of unknown weight behind it.

See you're reading it like a guy, and that's wrong.

He's:

- Tall

- Handsome

- Considerate

- Skilled

- Humble

- Can push her hobby/status to extreme heights

Being talented isn't always a sure hit, but some girls REALLY love it when they see a man exhibit excellence in one form or another. Women don't think about *being* the thing themselves, they'd rather be the spouse of the thing instead.

he…..wrote. a poem.

He. WROTE. A. POH-EHMMMMMM.

we’ve watched this dang show so many times, it’s one of the most looped background ones by now. Chicken soup for the soul

also the jeef pointed out that sister-makeout doujin thing has a bio that casually mentions that the friend is living w/ an elf from another world, kinda fun

Pretty much the perfect side character bio
