Folks are like “but what if something bad happens to the lesbian Gundam pilots” like, I don’t know how to tell you this, but the Gundam franchise has been doing the “you know, teenage mecha pilots are technically child soldiers, so let’s talk about how fucked up that is” bit since before it was fashionable. That’s kind of its whole thing. Lots and lots and lots of bad things are going to happen to them.

After today’s episode I saw, well within reason, a lot of people talking about Prospera’s brainwashing of Suletta, and I wanted to share my two cents.
First of all, my (probably) unpopular opinion: Prospera was kinda right this time.
DON’T KILL ME, LET ME EXPLAIN PLS.
So, Prospera’s technically right: they are being attacked my terrorists, they are in mortal danger, and they need to fight back to survive and save everybody, and that will mean most likely taking lives. Like, that’s fair. War isn’t pretty and survival demands sacrifice.
What’s really wrong and fucked up is:
 1) the way she says and explaines it. Her whole voice and behaviour, the words she chooses, so calm and chill and apparently comforting but actually really dismissive (and kinda creepy imo). She approaches Suletta and the whole situation as if it’s not a big deal.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But at the same time, she does underline that they’re in danger, even pressing on Suletta’s rightful fear in order to have her move forward and fight.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This isn’t a “this is unfortunate, but it’s either us or them” kind of speech, but a “we must get to our goal at all cost”. The line is thin, but there’s a difference. And, most importantly, it is portrayed as if it’s a natural progression and not just a situational thing.
Tumblr media
The thing is, we saw Suletta impacted by death, and these words alone aren’t enough to wipe away your morals. That brings me at point two, the most fucked up and vicious:
2) how Suletta has been raised and educated until then. She’s always following her motto with a smile, and helping others, never letting anyone (aside her mother) see her sad or overwhelmed. And what’s her mother’s answer every time she comes to her? “If you run, gain one. Move forward, gain two”.
After Miorine confronting her, we know that Suletta is scared every time and every time her motto is her way to cheer herself up, wear a smile, and keep going. The focus is always on moving forward, on the goal, and it NEVER AKNOWLEDGES OR QUESTIONS HER PRESENT FEELINGS.
It’s very likely that growing up, every time Suletta had to face something scary (harmless growing up stuff), she’s always been encouraged to move forward with that stupid motto instead of processing her feelings and thinking things through. Prospera just never taught her.
So, what does Suletta do instead? Say her motto like a mantra, and move forward withouth questioning anything, actively ignoring and burying her unprocessed feelings under a smile to the point that she doesn’t even realize it (it’s no surprise why she’s also so terrible at social cues and stuff).
Her whole bubbly happy persona is the product of her whole life having to face scary things withouth learning how to process how that made her feel, ignoring everything in favor of putting up her happy persona.
The result? Going from this
Tumblr media
to this
Tumblr media
because she doesn’t know any other way to “keep moving forward” that isn’t “do what you must and brush everything else off with a smile”. But what’s the result? Saving Miorine at the cost of their relationship because she’s rightfully horrified.
The problem isn’t even that Suletta killed a man; we already estabilished that this is a survival, and even if you can argue that she could have simply incapacitate the terrorist, considering that she’s been fighting for their lives until then it isn’t too unbelievable that instinct woul kick in and end it all the same way.
The problem is, obviously, how she reacted to it. I’d bet anything that, despite being still shocked, if Suletta just stayed serious (maybe still ignoring what she did in in favor of checking on and take care of Miorine because, again, this is a “live or die” situation) then Miorine would have understood and seen Suletta’s actions differently (”she made a sacrifice by doing something terrible to protect me”). But Suletta fucking laughed! How fucked up is that? Was she having fun?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
All of this isn’t caused by Prospera’s words alone because they do have some merit in the given circumstances. No, this is about the way she speaks them and the way she knows how Suletta would perceive them.
She spent years raising her to move forward no matter what, withouth ever questioning if moving forward even is the smartest choice (and we saw with Guel the consequences that come from not thinking it through). Raising her to make her the perfect little soldier.
And she succeeded.

You just know that those two dorks have each other's pictures as their phone backgrounds. Suletta probably stores Miorine's name with a gazillion hearts and tomatoes and Miorine has a separate ringtone for Suletta so she never misses her call.
They've upped the messages to six a day but they don't even have to keep count because they are constantly texting each other, they buy a tiny house on earth and spend their first few weeks building shitty IKEA furniture while listening to pop songs and dancing in their tiny garden.
They have regular game and karaoke nights with earth house, spend summers making popsicles and handing it out to kids and plant flowers and fruits in spring, spend weekends in their greenhouse and taking long walks hand-in-hand under the night sky and they are growing old together, they are in love they are in love they are in love

something incredibly interesting i just realized about Witch from Mercury is how every antagonist's ability to play into the major conflict is so much informed by whether they are able to correctly recognize Suletta and Miorine's feelings for one another (ep. 19 spoilers to follow).
the initial in-universe perception is that Miorine is just using the naive country bumkin Suletta as a shield against the marriage game, so of course the Peil people are quick to assume Suletta's interest towards El4n to be romantic, and of course Shaddiq thinks he can just waltz in offering to rescue Miorine in exchange for her collaboration, and it goes terribly for both of those people!
the Peil council kills off El4n and replaces him with the flirtiest asshole they have, who then immediately proceeds to unsettle Suletta and drive her away! Shaddiq only manages to piss off Miorine, forever closing off an alliance with her and forcing him to take much more drastic and risky action (i also don't think it's a coincidence the last we see of him the previous episode is him rushing towards Earth, leaving his base in Asticassia much less secured, while cursing Guel for some stupid reason)!
meanwhile Prospera is the only one to see what's actually going on between her daughter and Miorine, so of course she manages to guilt-trip the latter by accusing her of only seeing Suletta as a shield while ensuring she will do what she needs from her by leveraging her love for Suletta.
i just think it's great writing, it ties Suletta and Miorine's relationship into the greater conflict in a way that adds to the drama and the complexity of both plot lines while feeling true to life in its depiction of wlw romance and gender dynamics
