Strike Witches and Ponies. · 4:02am Nov 1st, 2012
If you've been keeping up with my Beating the Heat readings, you'll know I like the show Strike Witches. And I think Miyafuji and Twilight seems a little "too" similar to each other.
I even made a chart for it. Agree? Anything to add? Want to debate this with me? Am I wrong about any of the points? Oh, and Sanya is best witch, followed by Hartmann.
Now for a story update:
Cave Johnson... for science!: Next chapter is done, and I've tried to get it as close to the original chapters as I could in terms of humor. It's done... I'm just too damn lazy to write it out in the site from my handwritten journal. And to be even more unfair... it's been done for about 3 weeks now... sorry. I should go do that. Curse you Skyrim and Minecraft! Stop being so addictive!
Maybe I should try something like Dragon Dictation, and just have some poor sucker proof-read it for me.
WHY DON'T ANY OF THEM WEAR PANTS?

Why not?
I almost forgot about this fic, but I'm glad I didn't. It's funny, even if it's extremely random and with quite a few spelling errors. It's still an awesome story and I shall be awaiting the arrival of this hilarious piece. Also, DAMN THAT SKYRIM AND IT'S GLORY!

Scientific reason: Because when their legs go into their Striker units, that part of them gets sent to another dimension, since there's no room for their legs and the magic engine. And because of the way magical dimensions work in their world, and since only witches can use the strikers, they have to wear nothing or skin-tight pantyhose. Even more so, the neuroi could attack at anytime, so they need to be battle ready at all times. And a lot of the witches don't like wearing pantyhose... so they don't. Sanya has opaque pantyhose and she wears a miniskirt. We can't see her pantsu, so I don't know why the other witches don't do the same.
Oh wait, I do. Think about it: The witches are symbols are heroism. Other women dress like them because the witches are heros. And there was that one scene with Hartmann trying to pose near a bus stop, to get a truck driver, male, to stop. He didn't even slow down, and zoomed right on past. Hartmann then started raging about how no one should be able to resist her charms. So since men always see girls like that, it doesn't really matter anymore and they don't care whether they have pants or not. It's nothing new. So from an in-universe perspective, it's just a symbol of heroism, not sexual.
Besides, they draw the line at going commando, at least in the base, hence Barkhorn raging on Hartmann for not wearing any panties. The only reason she didn't wear them during that episode is because she doesn't care, and she lost hers. But it was cold so she stole someone else's. Which is a reference to the real Hartmann stealing Hitler's hat. So it's all justified and thought out just so we can watch them fly around without pants on and have extreme fan service. Not bad.
I think you get the point, and at this point I'm just rambling. Either way, they are very moe and I love it. Sorry if you weren't expecting an answer and asked the question as a joke, but I'm waiting for World of Tanks to update to 8.1, so I had nothing better to do.
466626 I loved that episode! You know what? I want to make a fanfic about this! May take a while, but I have my eyes set on it!
MIO IS BEST WITCH
