I have to get it out. It's been like 9 months since my binge rewatch of Neon Genesis Evangelion. I'm not going to say that transitioning would've 100% saved Shinji, but it would kill Gendo instantly.
Just, the thought of that dense motherfucker being confronted by the fact that his own son, testament to all of his imperfections, would suddenly start to resemble his wife-- which he cannot handle outside of Rei-- would make him tweak into oblivion and I think that's very funny. just.
*Enter stage left, Shinji being forced through the doors of Gendo's office by Asuka and maybe Misato*
Shinji: Father, I-
Asuka: Just say it!
Shinji: Father, I'm a girl.. I'd like to start hrt immediately.
Gendo:
This shit impacted me dearly. Lets say Andrew and I share some demons.
I absolutely love the slow way Andrew manages to let his guard fall around Neil, how the trust grows between them, how Neil listens and care for him so much.
It makes all the difference.
Here's the Museless version, cause I honestly like both..
Realized during my last read of king's men that the reason neil is so good at accepting andrew's boundaries and not touching him without consent? Is because he couldn't touch his father without being punished. I can't get pictures right now but there are multiple quotes in the scene with neil and his father where neil indicates that this was a reoccuring thing in his childhood. Where he says he knows what would happen if he touched his father. Where neil almost grabbed his arm to stop him from hurting him but jerked his hand away at the last second.
I’m so glad Vel’s with Nora. Poor baby going thru so much…I feel like the wisdom and company of a gentle bun will do her a lot of good in their Vacuo arc. It’s like how Weiss is so sensitive to people and gives amazing insights. Velvet is that too in her own unique ways.
i'm NOT going to apologise for the person i become when TSC comes out like i have been living in a world of delusion about jean moreau (and jerejean) for years. i am going to go absolutely FERAL. i'm talking foaming at the mouth and everything. you won't be able to get me to shut up
Do you ever think about the fact that Neil is number 10 while Riko is number 01 and they had polar opposite reactions to being raised in abusive environments?
the fact that Riko has drilled it into Jean’s head that Jean’s not only worthless, but that he’s like a bad and violent person at his core. but then despite whatever Jean’s inner monologue is saying throughout TSC, his actions show time and time again that his first instinct is usually kindness. absolutely upsetting
