r/cowboybebop

Besides the obvious outcome that if these two characters ever met they’d fuck. Let’s say Black Lagoon and the bebop crew end up on each others hit list. Spike and Revy pick each other out as the strongest and have a shootout. Who wins?

Sharing but also looking to see if anyone would be interested in this print I had signed a while back. This was one of two pieces I had signed and frankly am needing the funds right now and offloading a lot of stuff. Live in western Massachusetts willing to drive a bit! Thanks again at the least glad to share this piece.

I've been thinking about how to type while standing. Figured out that tapping my fingers on my lap while standing is comfortable enough. So you know what, lemme stick my corne keyboard onto my lap with magsafe (I put a magnetic magsafe ring inside my shorts)

the keyboard was wobbly when typing, but I managed to get 100 WPM on monkeytype 30s test

have you guys also thought of sticking the keyboard to your clothing (whether it's sitting or standing)? lr am I being crazy

Since the Threezero line has had zero updates for the past three years, pun intended, I decided to commission a few artists to build my own figure, and I’m very happy with how it turned out. Pairs well with Threezero Spike

While gold isn’t the most accurate colour for her outfit, I just thought it would stand out more.

Still need to figure out a way to get the outfit a bit more form fitting especially around the chest, but for now I’ll leave it

For some reason the blu ray doesn't have an option to change languages

I don’t remember exactly how I ended up watching this nearly 30-year-old classic. I went in expecting pure nostalgia. What I got instead was a pleasant surprise.

If I had to sum up the core of the story in one sentence, it would be this:

"People cannot fully reclaim the past, nor completely control the present. They can only choose how to keep living amid the incompleteness."

The show’s structure feels very much of its time — mostly episodic, with only a handful of episodes (probably no more than five) that meaningfully advance the main through-lines. Even today the animation, fight choreography, and music still hold up remarkably well. Of the standalone episodes, the ones that stuck with me most were the mushroom episode and the fridge one. But the episode that truly hit me was Episode 18, the one that reveals Faye’s past.

In that episode, Faye and the sunny young girl on the videotape exchange close-ups. Faye, expression blank, says something like “I don’t know… I can’t remember… Is this… me?” as tears well up. The girl finishes her cheer, and the episode hard-cuts straight to the end credits. No transition, no reaction shots, no dialogue. Just a sudden blank space. That cut is brilliant — it creates a void that lets the feeling linger longer and cut deeper.

The relationships between the characters are equally restrained. After more than twenty episodes together, only Jet (the first one to accept his past and his role as the ship’s owner) treats the Bebop as something more important than “the past.” The others come and go as they please. At the same time they maintain a kind of adult understanding: everyone carries their own history. I won’t hold you back with bonds, and you won’t stop me with sentiment. That understanding produces one of the show’s most memorable images — after the women leave, the camera simply sits with Spike and Jet for a full minute as they quietly eat four plates of boiled eggs.

(※ In Faye’s case, she thought she still had a way out. When she realized she didn’t, her vulnerability and selfishness made her try to break that unspoken agreement.)

The motif of “I found it… but there’s almost nothing left except loss and emptiness” keeps repeating in the main story. Faye recovers her memories and her home, only to find ruins. Spike finds Julia, only to lose her immediately. Ironically, when Faye leaves she encourages Ed to go look for a place to belong — a kind gesture in the moment that only speeds up Ed’s departure, so that when Faye later tries to return to the Bebop as her answer, one more companion is already gone.

Faced with that inescapable emptiness, each character adopts a different posture toward life. The adults fly the Bebop through space looking free, yet each remains trapped by their past. Only Ed carries none of that weight and truly lives in the present. Her father sits at the opposite extreme of the same spectrum.

If Spike represents an uncompromising kind of romance, Jet represents a mature acceptance of reality. Jet can casually toss his pocket watch into the sea because he has already made peace with it and found other anchors. One chooses to die chasing a dream; the other chooses to keep living with the scars. Neither is better or worse — just different ways of answering the same fate.

Maybe it’s exactly this unvarnished incompleteness that still feels surprisingly fresh thirty years later.
