A belated continuation to my previous two Knight-Saber drawings; Its Linna Yamazaki and Nene Romanova! From Bubblegum Crisis!

I didn't used to like Nene's colours for her Hardsuit as much as the others, but then I saw a concept art with darker blues & lighter pink that makes it pop. l. Linna's hair is cool too but then everything & everyone in BGC looks good so it goes with the territory.

Bubblegum Crisis: GD-42 vs Priss.

Something of a companion piece to a BGC drawing I did last year featuring Linna.

"Let's see... that treasure has to be around here somewhere..."

Linna spent her entire vacation searching for that fabled treasure, and though she never found it, it sure was fun to watch her look! :3

STMPD Recommends Bubblegum Crisis Fanfiction: Innpchan's Dance of Armor

While browsing my copy of the licensed Bubblegum Crisis RPG, I realized that this guy's name is a reference to 'the pig' or rather, P-Chan from Ranma 1/2. (Ranma was the hot shit in anime fanfic writing for most of 90's, but you knew that already.) Not that this fact detracts from the quality of Innpchan's Bubblegum Crisis fanfiction.

No, it most certainly does not.

In sum: this is a fanfiction about Linna Yamazaki, her past, her present as a Saber (sort of like what I covered in Night Life but infinitely less cynical), and her somewhat downer future. It is a character study, a Boomer-fightin' adventure, and everything else you could possibly want from a novella-length (???) fanfiction.

So! Linna Yamazaki. The great non-personality of Bubblegum Crisis. Nene gets Scoop Chase all to herself, but in Double Vision, the closest thing Linna gets to her own episode, she's playing second fiddle to the guest star Reika, doing the protagonistic 'do not pursue revenge leave that to us' spiel. One almost gets most of her personality from the Survival Shot dinner in OVA 4, and her boyfriend troubles in OVA 5: she goes through boyfriends fast, she's looking for 'the one', and she wants to make scads of money while doing it - or is that more an adaptation of who she is from BGCrash? Hard to say.

Well, there is a character down there, I'm sure of it. I keep trying to write little script-bits in my free time, one where the Sabers and Sylvie talk and talk, but I can never quite get her right. Vain, bitchy, but still a good person... how to do something like that without a heart-of-gold cliche? I still haven't listened to the audio dramas, and I wonder if they have something to offer there.

Anyway. Here's a fic about Linna. Back on topic.

Innpchan starts by telling us about Linna's past - how she lost her parents during the Quake, how she started to model during a disaster-porn fashion photoshoot, how she worked her way up through performing, modelling, dancing (I think they kinda drew on a blurb from Grand Mal here, but I don't care) - before losing an audition for Sailor Moon the musical (you were born to be Sailor Mars, her mentor says, because Linna and Rei Hino share a voice actor). It's charming, it's kind of cutesy, it is essentially creating reasons for why the way Linna is from whole cloth, but that's what fanfiction is about, and it's done remarkably well.

But that's not all, as the author alternates us between that and Linna's daily life. She picks up Priss and her costumes from her show (they stink up the back seat), she goes home to her nice apartment, she fights Boomers that now have weird stealth abilities with the other Sabers - and lo and behold, an old childhood friend from before the Quake walks back into her life. She's smitten, of course - after boyfriends who, in her opinion, can't keep up, can't hold things together, it's time for a sea change...

And then a Boomer starts targeting the boy, and she gets him out of the way, only breaking her leg and arm in the process.

Well, why is Seito Sakai in Megatokyo? What secret does he have to address? How can Linna keep him safe if she can't even get in a hardsuit? These are the questions that occupy the latter part of the fic. Linna aside - she has some truly badass moments in this one - the answers to those questions are also pretty cool.

Does it end on a downer? Sure. But is it a downer that's not too much of a downer, and also one that feels earned? Fuck yes. The point I'm trying to make is that we see Linna at her best here. Not vain or horny, but genuinely, authentically in love, something none of the other Sabers can ever quite pull off. Someone - normal.

Maybe that's Linna's magic: she's not quite normal, but she's closer to normal than a revengeaholic second-string rockstar, a turbo-eccentric millionaire with a taste for exotic lingerie, and an exciteable hacker could ever be.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, we get lines from Priss like this:

"This guy. I looked over at you when you were talking in the car. Your eyes were full of a country house and two-point-five rugrats."

"Oh, GREAT! We're up against Genom's latest and greatest, and the tech-wench wants to glue her mom's camcorder to my hardsuit!"

Not bitchy or rageful, but kind of deadpan snarky. I like Priss like that.

Also-also, fun fact: One of the major characters in Gibson's trilogy of cyberpunk-adjacent work he wrote in the 1990's is a Japanese ethnographer by the name of Laney Yamazaki. Yeah. Laney.

It really makes you wonder if Gibson, despite his self-professed hate for the genre he created, actually watched BGC. Now there's a strange thought, eh?

The synopsis of Bubblegum Crisis is so unintentionally funny.

The year is 2032, seven years after the Second Great Kanto Earthquake decimated Tokyo. Now, the city is reborn as MegaTokyo, built from the labors of mechanical beasts known as "Boomers."

Under the ever looming Boomer threat, a group of four girls from varying degrees of society banded together

While spending a night out, Linna Yamazaki, a new employee at the Hugh-Geit Corporation (a Genom subsidiary), observes a Boomer that has “gone rogue”, causing destruction and attacking people.

Over the course of the series, the Knight Sabers go after rogue boomers
