No, you guys, cobalt is the color of Heero Yuy's glorious glimmering orbs. Duh.

(I'm actually not sure why anymore considering a quick Google Image search brought up pictures of his eyes being...black... Oh wait! Here, they look vaguely bluish!)





Damn, now I want to read new or reread old GW fic.

haha very true. That is mostly what I remember about GW fandom - the cobalt x amethyst love. And oh the RFOs!

[meiface.livejournal.com]

I remember Trowa's eyes were green, but not what fanciful descriptive term was used in conjunction with it. Hmm... Now craving some 3x4 along with my 1x2. OR SOME MISSION FIC. Ahhh.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

ahhh emerald would make sense, of course.

well, my irrational hatred back then was of Relena, but I am over that now. :D

[konnistique.livejournal.com]

LOL MY BRO EATS THE EXACT SAME GUM! ....just thought that was worth mentioning >D Apprently you can smell it as soon as someone takes a pack out ;;

[meiface.livejournal.com]

WOW IT MUST BE THE MANLY GUM OF BROTHERS. I should try it. Does it smell particularly of something? SOMETHING MANLY, PERHAPS?

[meritjubet.livejournal.com]

I remember last year they had a big advertising campaign here. I stick with my childhood fave of hubba bubba thank you very much ;)

lol, glimmering cobalt orbs~~~ that takes me back to many, many bad GW fanfics I read.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

I must let you know how 'cobalt' tastes after I try it sometime. Too late in the night for gum now!

Generally I enjoy Eclipse or Orbitz for my gum. :D

sdkgh oh GW, how nostalgic. ♥

[meritjubet.livejournal.com]

I trust you will deliver the results. Perhaps like spandex shorts, gravity defying hair and the elusive spice of peace? XD

Or Prussian blue! That was another unique~ colour they to used to describe someone's eyes. I think Heero's. It has been a while since I have dipped my toes into bad GW fanfic after all.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

skghf spandex shorts with magical gun-hiding abilities!!!

Oh yes, I saw a ton of Prussian blue in fics to describe Heero's eyes. I'm pretty sure it's where I first learned what color that was.

[meritjubet.livejournal.com]

Lol, yes! Where on earth did he keep them? Hammer space I suppose.

I only knew it as a country that didn't really exist anymore (history nerd here) and was like, whuh? it is a colour now?

[meiface.livejournal.com]

I know Prussia exists in Hetalia!

[meritjubet.livejournal.com]

That was way back in 2002-03 for me. I don't think Hetalia existed then.

/old fangirl but GW wasn't even my first fandom (Evangelion was that). I started young.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

Oh you did! My first fandom was probably BSB lolol (oh my Mary Sues), but my first animanga fandom was Fushigi Yuugi. I got in GW afterwards!

[meritjubet.livejournal.com]

Haha, I remember when RPF was banned on ff.n. So many people were angry! I never got into Fushigi Yuugi, sadly. I read so many LotR parody Sues. It was definitely a 'thing' in the fandom to create a parody Sue.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

ahh I hadn't discovered ff.n with BSB - I had my own geocities sites, ahaha.

all this nostalgia really really makes me want to read GW fic now. *__*

[meritjubet.livejournal.com]

Oh geocities <3 I was browsing through my own delicious recently and a link to a fic I liked went there but since geocities is no more, no fic for me :( oh well. And MLs! And then it seemed so much of moved to LJ and here we remain mostly.

Do it~ *_*

[nyw.livejournal.com]

omg Gundam Wing = what started my unhealthy obsession with fandom and fanfiction.

I love how all their hair and eye colour change depending on who was responsible for drawing them for the week 8D

[meiface.livejournal.com]

ahaha I suspect that is true for many people. Every time I post about them I get people waxing nostalgic with me. XD

Oh GW, your 1x2 will always be a definitive ship for me!

[meiface.livejournal.com]

Gundam Wing of my heaaaaaaaart ♥

[ch-ar-me.livejournal.com]

BUT WEREN'T THEY PRUSSIAN BLUE.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

THEY WERE BOTH, OKAY?

ONE EYE WAS COBALT BLUE. THE OTHER WAS PRUSSIAN BLUE. Obviously.

[sapphynashi.livejournal.com]

lmao I recall seeing Cobalt or Prussian blue or whatever on official stuff before which probably explains the rampant use of it.

Oh, GW. That was... a time.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

Was Duo ever officially of "amethyst" eyes or was that all fandom?

Indeed. But I will never got over how much I love "The Drums of Heaven". If I could print that out and make it a book...

[sapphynashi.livejournal.com]

Actually, the more I think about it, I'm pretty sure Duo's were officially cobalt and Heero's were Prussian blue on at least one official source. Fandom did the amethyst thing and it became more widespread just because ooooh amethyst.

alkdhkal god Drums of Heaven akjfalk so great. So great.

[sharona1x2.livejournal.com]

You're correct, Duo's eyes are officially cobalt and Heero's are Prussian blue. It's here (http://aboutgundamwing.com/glossary_misc.htm), under Studio Statistics.

[aisutennyo.livejournal.com]

THAT IS MANLY GUM!

[meiface.livejournal.com]

HAVE YOU HAD IT BEFORE? WHAT DOES 'COBALT' TASTE LIKE?

[priestnobaka.livejournal.com]

...only here to appreciate your beautiful subject title♥

[meiface.livejournal.com]

Adam Lambert gets stuck in my head all the time. Of course, that's probably because I listen to him a lot. :D

[sharona1x2.livejournal.com]

Heero's eyes are definitely blue (http://sharona1x2.com/rapture/officialart/art/heero6lg.jpg). (That's one of my favorite pictures of him.) I've collected enough cels to know that for certain.

I've been known to read GW fanfic now and then. :-)

[meiface.livejournal.com]

aww I love Heero so much. :D ♥ I know his eyes are blue; it just amuses me how much fandom likes to describe them in endless purple prose when most of the time in the anime, they aren't even that obvious.

Oh GW fandom, are they still producing? I have a lot of old Moments of Rapture fics I should read!

[sharona1x2.livejournal.com]

Hopefully I'll have a bunch of new fics for you to read by the beginning of October. The deadline for my contest is the end of this month. Then I just have to get everything set up. :-)

[meiface.livejournal.com]

Awesome! :D I look forward to it then.

[loika.livejournal.com]

His eyes are definitely blue. But lmao COBALT. You make me want to dig up all the good old fic (this does not mean I read fic where he had ~cobalt orbs~. At least, I don't recall that I did ...). ;o;

[meiface.livejournal.com]

haha I'm sure I did read those fics, but I'm also sure that they were bad enough that I no longer renember them. So if I go reread stuff, it will only be good stuff! :D

sexual tic-tac-toe... :3

he says "5". me: not how many you have, what brand! him: it's called 5! it's flavor is cobalt! me: WHAT DOES COBALT TASTE LIKE???

sobs you guys are adorable ;_; <3 pinches all

[meiface.livejournal.com]

I TRIED THE GUM, IT WAS VERY...MINTY. I don't think cobalt is supposed to taste like that. :(((

[papered.livejournal.com]
