Okay, I'm just gonna say it.

Normally I'd be shipping the girls from the word go. And given the...interesting camera shots of Machu and Nyaan's first meeting, pretty much everything about the ED, and the fact that one of the writers is Yoji Enokido, who was also one of the main writers for Revolutionary Girl Utena, I'd be saying that the odds of us getting two Gundam shows in a row with lesbian MC couples is actually pretty high, and I'd strongly object to throwing a male protagonist into the mix to muck it up.

However, this time there is a caveat.

For one, Shuji turned out to be pretty endearing, given that he's like this funky space hobo anarchist with a giant robot in his garage who's consistently a chill weirdo. For another, with Hideaki Anno as the other writer, Kazuya Tsurumaki, directing, Studio Khara producing, and the mechs themselves designed by Ikuto Yamashita, there is a LOT of Evangelion in its DNA.

And we all know how ride or die I am for that Shinji/Asuka/Rei throuple.

So I'm staking my claim here. Give us what we should've gotten in Evangelion. Give us our giant mech polycule.

This is from a Tabris/Alistair fic set just after Awakening. Everybody’s gotten a bit drunk after successfully defending Amaranthine and the Keep. Also Eamon’s been trying to persuade Alistair to marry someone more “suitable” than Tabris and Alistair is starting to realize that Eamon isn’t that great.

quux in TechnologyExpand

/kwuhks/ [Mythically, from the Latin semi-deponent verb quuxo, quuxare,quuxandum iri; noun form variously "quux" (plural "quuces", anglicised to"quuxes") and "quuxu" (genitive plural is "quuxuum", for four u-letters out of seven in all, using up all the "u" letters in Scrabble).]

1. Originally, ametasyntactic variable like foo and foobar. Invented by Guy Steele forprecisely this purpose when he was young and naive and not yet interacting with the real computing community. Many people invent such words; this one seems simply to have been lucky enough to have spread a little. In an eloquent display of poetic justice, it has returned to the originator in the form of a nickname.

2. See foo; however, denotes very little disgust, and is uttered mostly forthe sake of the sound of it.
