This series in general, and Lockon in particular, sums up my relationship with Sunrise so perfectly. :(
"You know, I really attached to Mwu in SEED, and I loved that he kind of faked normal but maybe had the most lasting damage of any of the good guys, but I wish they'd explored that damage more."
"Our next Gundam has a mentor figure who fakes normal spectacularly while being indisputably the least fixable of them all, and we're actually explicit about this damage in the text!"
"Oh God, I love him."
"We're going to kill him off, though."
"Of course! He's the doomed mentor figure. It'll be great."
"It is great! But we're going to do it before the halfway point."
"Well...okay, I guess, I suffered through my favorite dying before the halfway point in FMA, I can do it here, and it is a really awesome death, so...well, I think you can do good stuff with the aftermath in season 2!"
"Now we're going to introduce his identical twin and give him the same name and essentially the same position."
"--hold the fuck up."
"Did we mention his character development will happen mostly offscreen, and his world-changing true love will get three scenes of development?"
"WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME, SUNRISE."
...and yet I still have so much fic to write. :( Including what will probably amount to something like twelve thousand words of totally gratuitous Lockon/Tieria interaction (and awkward, awkward sex). I blame great RP.
