I think Gundam may have been my first too, in terms of going online and learning that fanart/fanfic/shipping was a thing. Then it was Weiss Kreuz, thanks for stocking approximately two VHS of that series Blockbuster.

Heero being able to regenerate is the best/worst ability for him I can think of. That boy didn't need to be enabled into further crazy, but at least he's got a better chance of surviving now??? I'm keeping the canon abilities for my guy because I'm very attached to them, and also because I feel like he's going to be doing a LOT of screaming at Heero to get in the goddamn boat.

NGL if I were Trowa I would have deposited him into the nearest dumpster, but Angry Clown is my #2 favourite.
