apfelgranate:

so it’s pretty much accepted canon by now that raleigh has at least one notebook filled with mr. raleigh mori/mr. mako mori, yes?

(if i felt guilty for this – which i don’t, at all – i’d lay the blame here and here.)

Dear Diary,

Today, Mako slammed the door in my face.

Again.

But I think I saw a hint of a smile before the echoing SLAM caressed my ears.

Sigh.

Mako is so perfect.

XOXO

The future Mr. Mako Mori.

No but, seriously, I think what I love most about these two is that it’s this big, buff guy crushing on this tiny girl, like, “We’re drift compatible don’t you see?”  When I first saw her I totally thought it would be her crushing on him in a “OMG YOU’RE THAT PILOT THAT THEY SPEAK OF!”  But instead it was reversed  <3

How Raleigh Becket Changed His Tune Once He Met Miss Mako Mori: A Short Story

“You don’t understand, I’m a complicated hero with angst and man pai- OMG SHE’S PERFECT EVERYONE GET IN THE JAEGER WE’RE GOING MONSTER HUNTING”

Oh god I never noticed how his shoulders drop in that last gif. It looks like he is literally sighing over how perfect she is.

He LITERALLY sighs at her when she walks by. NEVER have I seen a main character hero who is an extremely masculine male be SO ADORING of a woman. He has literal stars in his eyes. He’s tipsy on admiration. He looks at her like she brought Christmas and puppies and chocolate cake.

I STAN MANLY MEN WHO ARE RESPECTFUL AND EMOTIONALLY AVAILABLE AND TOTAL EQUALS WITH THEIR LADY FRIENDS

Raleigh treats Mako like the capable adult that she is but he just worships her. He treats her correctly but he walks on air behind her with hearts in his eyes. Dude is crushing hard and still gets what needs to be done done.

Siiiiiiiiigh, reasons why my OTP is perfect.
