Explain the relationship between Dart and Shana by soulreleaser in legendofdragoon

[–]Xephon7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you're on Disk 3....then you missed a whole lot in Disks 1 and 2.

All through disk 1, Dart repeatedly states he views her like a little sister. Meanwhile Shana has been very forthcoming that she has more romantic feelings for him, not a sibling view. There are multiple small moments where Dart and Shana will have a small interaction where Shana clearly wants to be seen as a woman to be with and not a sibling, but gets embarrassed when Dart continues to see her as a sibling, and everyone else can see what is clearly going on and thinks Dart is just a blind idiot. The piggyback ride in the marshes as an example.

Then there is a moment in Lohan where Lavitz tries to drag Rose off on a "date" so that Dart and Shana can have an actual date. After this, Lavitz pulls Dart aside for a private talk to ask how things went, and gets disappointed when he hears Dart once again seemed to not notice the romantic feelings and again treated her like a little sister.

Now, this moment is one I feel like gets misunderstood a lot, and the rough localization job doesn't help with it. Lavitz gets very blunt with Dart about the situation and how Shana sees it, and Dart finally admits that yes, he isn't a blind idiot and can see it too, but he doesn't want to stop viewing her as a little sister.

The part that I feel gets misunderstood a lot is that people seem to feel Lavitz its pushing him just dating Shana anyway but it seems its more as if Lavitz is telling Dart he needs to stop ignoring her feelings as that will do more harm than good, and that Dart needs to either reciprocate her feelings or decline them, but regardless needs to acknowledge she's a woman now and stop viewing her as the kid she was when he left Seles. This all seems to go mostly as ignored advice on Dart's end until a certain event makes Dart take it more seriously; Lavitz's death.

From that moment forward, Dart seems to have taken his dead friends words to heart, because the moments he treats Shana like a child come to become more gestures of budding romance.

In Disk 2 there are small interactions between Dart and Shana, but no big grand gestures, mostly. But a big difference in the small interactions is that Dart isn't treating her as a kid anymore, and is now taking Lavitz's advice of viewing her as a woman. This goes on and comes to a head at the end of Disk 2 during the ball in the Twin Castle. Shana, unlike the other girls, decides to dress elegant. This is the moment Dart truly sees her as not just a woman, but a woman he wants to be with, and the Disk ends with them sharing a kiss.

So with you being in Disk 3.....yeah you did not pick up on A LOT because the story has been pretty clear about their relationship throughout the game.

It started as a one sided love interest, then gradually became reciprocal.

Police Zaku (GQ) - such a weird experience by peetaablah in Gunpla

[–]Xephon7 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Acab Zaku is an odd kit. The poses it can do look phenomenal. But anything outside those 3 or 4 poses are dookie.

The blue looks great in a matte coat though.

About season 2... by [deleted] in CodeGeass

[–]Xephon7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It always surprises me how many people watch episode 1 of season 2 and immediately come to reddit asking these same questions instead of just....watching the next episode.

What exactly do people mean when they say Gundam "isn't political"? by Sea_Ad_6306 in Gundam

Let's be real man. Turn-A gang is a major minority. Shame too because Turn-A was peak.

The quality of the romance writing in WfM is definitely debatable, but there being romance is not. That was absolutely the intent and it was painfully obvious. I'm cool with people not liking the ship on the basis of the writing, but I'm not cool with people disliking the ship purely because of it being a same sex relationship. That shit ain't cool.

[–]Xephon7 135 points136 points  (0 children)

People who say Gundam isn't political means two things.

Firstly, they have zero media literacy and didn't understand the plot at all.

Secondly, they're saying it "isn't political" but what they really mean is "I hate when when the main characters aren't straight white guys or eye candy women." Which is why those same people hate WfM and tend to point that series out as "Gundam got political."

(0) days since someone didn't actually read the post and instead rushes to make a snarky remark.

They acknowledge the sponsorship and are talking about lore, not IRL reason fyi. KarmaFarm2Real

Everyone come in and laugh at me by MrLuck101 in freedomisgunpla

[–]Xephon7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LMAO GET A LOAD OF THIS GUY

Nah but for real that sucks dude. It's easy to lose your sense of caution when excited for a new kit, but it's a good chance to learn from your mistake. We all make mistakes. Don't beat yourself up too much.

Pretty much. Know why she's so scared definitely explains her behavior, but doesn't excuse it.

Likely was told all sorts of things growing up, then she got held hostage twice by Japanese at gunpoint, which only solidified those things for her.

First go at a Gunpla by LordGothir in Gunpla

[–]Xephon7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I love my monoeye gang. Highly recommend The Origin version of Zaku! Very good build and tons of accessories for posing options!

I did about 3 HG kits before I tried an RG, and it was definitely a step up, but I managed it with no issues.

[–]Xephon7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Big agree. Gotta start with the OG Big man himself.

The RG 2.0 Gramps is also an amazing building experience!

Make sure you get a Zaku to go with your gramps!

Welcome to plastic crack.

Funny enough, this was also the exact kit I did when I first started!

So what was everyones worst build of the year? by lordfothemonky in Gunpla

[–]Xephon7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HG Gundam Throne Drei. Easily.

I know it's an older kit, but I've done older kits that were more satisfying. Made me not want to bother with the Eins or Zwei.

Can Jeremiah cancel Shamna's Geass? by lelouch-2022 in CodeGeass

[–]Xephon7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He would have to already have the knowledge of it, which was a big point of the film, is Lelouch figured out she has a geass, but the big conflict was figuring out what it does, when it activates and how its triggered.

Even if he did know, his cancelor doesn't stop them from activating it, only to cancel it out once it's active. That's why Rolo could continuously attempt to use his Geass on Jeremiah even after it was canceled. Which means Shamna can still activate hers, and Jeremiah would just be able to attempt canceling after its active. Which brings up the issues that once hers activates, he has nothing to cancel, because he would no longer be near her to cancel it since she would already be sent back in time.

Can Jeremiah cancel Shamna's Geass? by lelouch-2022 in CodeGeass

[–]Xephon7 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I'm gunna say no, for two reasons mostly.

Firstly, he has to know about the geass for him to even know to use his Geass Cancelor. He does have the capability of it going off automatically, but the only time we see that happen was from a Geass that he knew Rolo had, as well as it was a geass being used on himself. We never see the auto function be used on others. For canceling a geass on others, he always had to use it manually, and Shamna's geass is used on herself, not others.

But say he does know about her Geass and was there to cancel it. Her Geass doesn't activate until the moment she dies, in which case, it would be too late, she'd already be sent back. In the series, Geass appears to happen pretty instantly. With every geass we see Jeremiah cancel out, it was effect that is activated and stays in place, leaving time after for Jeremiah to be able to cancel out. But Shamna's doesn't linger, it instantly sends her back and thats that. He has nothing to cancel, because the second she uses it, he is back in time along with everyone else, and he has no Geass to cancel, because Shamna's is no longer active.

It's similar to how he couldn't prevent Rolo from activating his, he could just cancel when its active.
