Yup, its the Kshatriya which does come from the same design lineage as Qubeley and than Quin Mantha (or Queen Mansa), but fits in as that design lineage taken to its greatest extreme (to some extent I prefer the Kshatriya over most actual gundams...)

I find harem endings to be depersonalising and trivialising of the urgency of the nature of the protagonist choice; after all, the tension is normally "which one will the protagonist choose", harem endings just make the whole process moot.
When conditions are adverse I have been known to alter canon, that's what I claim to have been the reason I ventured into artistry for; to adequately correct canons which have shot far away from the correct spot.

The Kshatriya is, I think, one of the few mechs I've actually legitimately in love with. I absolutely adore every aspect of it.

But... Thats the POINT! No stress! He diesnt need to pick!:smalltongue:
Knee is not 'paired'. You cannot such limit that budgie. It escapes your constraints and lays claim to all. :smalltongue:

The need to pick is fundamental to driving the plot, saying HAREM! just makes the plot trivial; unless the plot is different than the romantic plot and the romantic resolution is done for... I have no idea which would be a good reason...
Truly is he in the 10% of non-monogamous birds.
I seriously should consider applying my newly developed studies in graphite art to properly immortalise the two canon pairings...

Well, yes. Because harem endings typically mean that the protagonist is reduced to a damp red smear and maybe a bit of ground chuck. :smalltongue:
:smallamused: This please Khorne to take bloodshed from what would be vapid carnality.
I mean, aside from the Mane 6, where I mostly do it because I honestly can't see them divvying up into 3 OTPs with one another but it's mean to leave unentangled ponies out in the cold.

Normally when a harem ending is required is due to the vacuous personality of the protagonist which makes the ending just a simple fill in your name fulfilment akin to a series of novels of torturous prose and painful thematic involving sparkles.

I do not know which are the Mane 6 and the metaphor is far too elaborate for my medicated mind to unwrap.

Re: Coid's Crowing Conundrum of a Canticle of Crookedly Random Banter #185
Sorry, I was mistaken on the canonicity of Teddy and MoonCat, though I thought that was the one to which Bunkershipping referred.
No, Blue Ghost's main rival is in fact AT. My mistake.

Is he? I do not recall MoonCat ever being shipped with AT, they do not come into contact oft enough to justify it.
I recall there being another contender from the moment the shipping got started, it was even in the sketches of the train wagon. I distinctly recall at least two suitors of which only Blue proposed... twice in fact.
EDIT: On revision I believe it may have been the now absent Eon.

That's not even a very good portmanteau! If you're going to ship me, do it properly: the portmanteau for Heliomance and I would be Helionite. Otherwise you end up spoonerizing letters in my name, as was done here, or getting Dimomance, which just sounds awkward.

Re: Coid's Crowing Conundrum of a Canticle of Crookedly Random Banter #185
This is the moment at which MoonTroll became a thing.
As for me, there are exactly two ships involving me that have any evidence to support them, not including Lix/everyone.

Are you aware you are just now shipping yourself and making this an actual ship?

One is mentioned there, the other I do not know. But you do seem to share Dimonite's habits of shipping the same people with the same zeal.

No, I'm just keeping the portmanteau from being a poortmanteau.
But seriously, nothing I've said should be taken as shipping myself with anyone.

Producing a portmanteau is usually the way to start of shipping, correcting one is confirming or seconding a ship.

... Well, I clearly need to take a class on shipping etiquette then. Because I did not know that my correction would be taken as anything other than a dedication to the art.

I offer a diploma course on the topic, online version also available.
Supplementary art lessons for the immortalization of those whom you pair are of course optional.

See, having a degree in shipping would be an awesome thing for me. I mean, if I was a shipper with a DEGREE, I could laugh when people took the ridiculous crap I came up with seriously. I mean, I could throw out Clay/Kim for Xiaolin Showdown, and people would RESPECT that.

Sometimes however, saying HAREM! is the plot. For example, one of the main characters in To Love Ru Black, her goal is to make the entire world the harem of the series love interest.

That is a perfectly valid shipping actually (even if the official is Ray I believe?).
But yes, diplomas are useful, and also easy to get; case in point, Dr. Zoe D. Katze, Ph.D., C.Ht., DAPA. A cat with more degrees than anyone ever will get.

A harem collection plot is... something I'd much rather not know even existed.

Teacher over a month ago: Assigning a large book project guys, it's due November 13th.
My brain:Cool, I'll do it later so I wont forget the book.
Me, today: Oh hey, it's due tomorrow. I haven't started reading the book yet, let alone do the assignment.
My brain: Cool, let's start it at eight in the evening so you cna hang out with Starving Artist all afternoon!
Me: Okay!
Me, now: **** you so much brain. Seriously.
My brain: Hey, I'm the one who just read the 400-page book in 3.5 hours and still can remember enough to get the project done. Now why don't you take a nice break to go look at the internet, it's only 1 AM!
Me: Good idea!
