A moment of silence

[Spoiler alert for Phase 32, Destiny] OMG such a sobfest episode. And a very good episode too. I keep thinking the recent episodes are so good but they just keep getting better every week! Highlights: Cagalli becomes stronger and goes back to her kickass former self! Is this somehow related to Athrun getting seriously pwned a few episodes ago? But anyway, go Cagalli power! It's been too long. And Murrue and Neo meet for the first time ever in person (well Neo is unconscious, and as usual he managed to survive some massive explosion, if we assume that he's actually Mwu and survived being blasted by a positron cannon). So much tension and raw emotion in that scene when Murrue just gapes at Neo. There had better be some good development between the two of them in the next few episodes.

But woe, Stellar died! So so so sad. Poor Stellar. Poor Shinn. Just when I thought everything was going to be fine (well, I was lying to myself because I knew she dies, since 3 weeks ago or something) and then some stupid plot randomness has to happen and she has to go completely berserk again. And don't hate Kira, because it's not his fault. Anyway does anyone bother to wonder how Stellar looks completely unhurt when she dies, and has less shrapnel stuck in her body as compared to when she was actually in the Destroy? Probably the producers removed them so that Shinn wouldn't have so much trouble carrying her. Oh enough with the lame jokes already. It was sadness in the bucketfuls. And Shinkai no Kodoku is such a sad sad song. It's on repeat on my computer now.

And, a survey from plhu's blog:

THREE NAMES YOU GO BY:
1. Andre, like duh.
2. avaris or avarisia (the latter is usually the nick I use in forums because avaris tends to be taken up already).

THREE SCREEN NAMES YOU HAVE HAD:
1. avaris (for the past, oh, 6 or more years I think).
