Inspector Han, what about you? If your family did something unthinkable, would you help them out? You’re not someone who places great value on family. Does that mean I can trust you, Joo won? Enough for that trust to stay intact despite knowing the truth?
Evangelion is the best anime ever and also absolute dogshit. Everybody should watch it. I don’t recommend it to anyone.
Evangelion touches deep themes and imagery. The creators said that they mostly introduced them because “they looked cool”. It has amazing animation and scenery. They ran out of budget so most of the last chapters are just a telephone with a voiceover. Asuka is a quite developed character with an interesting exploration of female teenagehood and trauma. She’s also used constantly as fanservice. Shinji is a very harsh picture of depression and lack of self worth and how one deals with it. He’s also a whiny little bitch. Rei has a fascinating character arc as she begins to feel and think for herself. The creator himself forgot she existed by the middle of the series. Misato is probably the adult with most empathy towards the kids and what they’re living through. She’s also intermitently portrayed as an inmoral slob. Kaworu is probably the most interesting of all “antagonists” and has a very tender blooming romance with Shinji. He only shows up for a single episode. The EVAs are iconic mecha with a carefully developed worldbuilding and infraestructure behind them. Nobody fucking knows how big they are.
The amount of effort ficwriter does in order to write a fic. “nah the story doesn’t need to be that accurate it’s just a fic I’m not getting any money out of it” and then as they keep writing and posting their browse history is something like “moon calendar in 1981”
Me sittin’ here, seriously concerned for all the young kids who are gonna’ grow up in this fandom environment thinking they’re secretly evil monsters because their sex fantasies aren’t strictly pure or vanilla or because they ship something with an unhealthy dynamic. Soooooo many people must hate/be terrified of themselves.
Hey…….hey kids…….
You’re fuckin’ fine.
The human brain is weird. Sex fantasies ≠ actual desires. If you ask yourself, “would I want to act out this thing in real life” and the answer is “fuck no,” then you’re fine. Shipping is also not an indicator of what you would condone in real life. You are not secretly a monster. You are a human being. Human beings are complicated. Please calm down and treat yourself to a smoothie or something.
“What you want to read about” is not the same as “what you want to happen in your real life.”
The murder mystery industry has no problem understanding this.
The entire “horror” genre is built on this. Ditto “thrillers”, and indeed most other genres. In fact, possibly the only genre which isn’t inherently built on this assumption is “romance”, and even there… well, there’s a lot of romance stories which are basically about “I want to experience catharsis” rather than “I want this to happen to me” (consider Wuthering Heights, for example - Heathcliff and Catherine are great to read about, but they would each be hell to live with).
This also means if you’re asexual but you still like reading stories where people fuck? You’re still asexual. If you’re aromantic and enjoy reading romances, you’re still aromantic. If you’re non-heterosexual and enjoy reading heterosexual porn (because hey, there’s more of it and it’s easier to find than anything else, right?) then you’re still not heterosexual.
The only thing your taste in reading says anything about is your taste in reading.
They don’t jump 36 feet into the fucking sky do you know how terrifying that would be the human race wouldn’t have survived because we’d have all had heart attacks while still in Africa
This is one of those legendary posts that’s been around since I first made a Tumblr. When I didn’t have access to my Tumblr for a few years I would sometimes reference this post. Iconic lol
cannot believe twitter libs are whining that protesting outside Kavanaugh’s house is iNcOnSiDeRaTe To HiS nEiGhBoRs. if you live nextdoor to Brett fucking Kavanaugh and you’re not shitting on his porch or at least throwing eggs at his house every day you’re wasting your life.

It was, in fact, his neighbors who organized the protest.
