So now, it's not all right for me to have a hobby.

I quitted cosplay. I don't have a proper cell phone plan so there are no bills to pay. I don't spend money on branded bags, shoes and clothes. I don't even spend on clothes period. I don't buy game consoles. I don't buy computer games. I only follow and buy 3 manga series which has releases bi-monthly. I hardly buy music CDs and DVDs anymore.

And now Mom is getting on my case for buying gunpla. >:| I don't even buy gunpla all that often.

She's accusing me of ~not thinking about her and Dad and my school fees~. I am very, very aware of how high my school fees are. Why do you think I'm making an effort and buying cheaper second-hand books instead of brand new ones? Why do you think I'm cutting back and not buying every single piece of Exia/Setz stuff that gets released? Why do you think I'm putting up my old figurines for sale at low prices? =_=

This is why I can't wait to get out and find a proper job. So that it'll be my own money that I'll be spending and saving and she won't have a reason to complain.

EDIT:
They keep changing their positions on the Innovades' genders that it's getting sort of annoying now. First, Revive is neuter, now s/he's female-type model. First, Hiling's female model, now she's neutral or I don't know.

Give us info on the other characters already. OTL

EDIT:
Pretty ironic that my Mom sees no problem in blowing hundreds on a home theater system and ~good food~, while my Dad has to spend hundreds on his cigarettes, while my spending on gunpla is a 'disease' to Mom.

I just chuckle quietly now at every new Innovado info. It's quite clear they don't want to set anything in stone, in order to fit them cyber-Newtypes into whatever plot. Their gender isn't even a plot point; making Tieria a man/woman/neuter doesn't change anything important about him IMO. Even Anew didn't need to be female despite the love story.

But, as I said once in the comm, our usual sources from 2ch seem to be an Innovator fan, so there are disproportionally more Innovator-related cam pics/spoilers posted. Good Haro too is an Innovator fan (as can be seen when she returns from 00 hiatus because of 00I and Innovator info in Official File, and skipped translating Allelujah's part), so the info we get are "filtered" twice. Which is fine for them of course, but a bit regrettable for those with little interest in the Skittle Squad.

Yeah, I've noticed. ): It can't be helped that the Innovades are popular [in Japan too, I'm assuming], so with every release of Gundam 00-related information, there will be at least a few pieces of Innovade-related information for the fans, regardless of whether it's actually settled on.

I don't blame the translators and sources, personally. XD I, too, would give more attention to certain characters, particularly if I'm lazy or just don't feel like the extra effort is worth it. Still, like you said, it's too bad for the rest of the fandom and I guess I'm sort of tired of generally getting the short end of the stick. Nothing much I can do though. ^^";

Funny thing is... if the Newtype 00-only poll can be trusted, they're not that popular ^^; Only Tieria (who doesn't count) and Anew (who doesn't... really count) are in it, not even Ribbons made Top 10.

I bet if we did a poll in the comm, it'd be a totally different story altogether. XD

Still, that's pretty unexpected, though I wasn't completely surprised. o_o Do you have the rest of the results?

It was a poll in Newtype after the series end. I think it was in the comm, but I don't feel like looking right now :P

MALE
1 Setsuna
2 Graham
3 Tieria
4 Neil
5 Allelujah
6 Lyle
7 Patrick
8 Ali
9 Sergei
10 Saji

FEMALE
1 Feldt
2 Nena
3 Sumeragi
4 Anew
5 Louise
6 Soma
7 Kati
8 Marina
9 Mileina
10 Wang

iluJapan.

So, so much.

I guess if another poll was done now, results will be different and Tieria would be on top now. XD But even Saji and Lyle made it into top 10. ;_; I feel so happy for some reason.
