:asuka_miffed:

Moving on...

I had one started (not posted, but first chapter written) where all the characters are either cops or criminals: Gendo is the head of Rokubungi Gumi, Kaji is an undercover cop, Rei is Gendo's 'Daddy's Little Tyke-bomb Hitgirl,' Shinji ends up in the family after Yui's death via custody shenanigans, and Evangelion is a weaponized hallucinogenic (chemical label LCL), the formula having been stolen by the Gumi and being produced as a new drug for street consumption. There's more characterization (for Keel, Asuka, Kaworu, Misato, etc.), but this should do for the outline.

I've been back and forth on whether I should just go ahead and post, or see if anyone else wanted to take a stab at it.

Thoughts?

That to me is one of those AUs that's so far afield you might as well just make it your own. I mean, it's not like a every tsundere in the world has to be Asuka.

I have one of those I've been tinkering with.

Among the people who use the Internet, many are obtuse. Because they are locked in their rooms, they hang on to that vision which is spreading across the world. But this does not go beyond mere ‘data’. Data without analysis [thinking], which makes you think that you know everything. This complacency is nothing but a trap. Moreover, the sense of values that counters this notion is paralyzed by it.

And so we arrive at demagogy. - Hideaki Anno, 1996

Idea: anyone ever wrote about Rei taking up a side-job as a mangaka?

And Gendo is Heisenberg. Seriously, it writes itself.

Rei as a mangaka...I could see that. That gave me the idea of Rei drawing a series that becomes popular, and is based on distorted and misunderstood perceptions of the people around her. And then someone at NERV finds out about the series...

I was thinking her works having large doses of surrealism and Lovecraft-themed supernatural horror.

When you say that, I have this memory of people reading Dr. Moriarty's work, and everyone in the academic field insisting it was brilliant, because everyone was to afraid to admit to each other that none of them understood it.

I could see the same thing with Rei, if that's the direction her work would go: everyone praising the art and themes and talking about how ingenius they are, simply because no one wants to be found out as the person that doesn't understand it.

However after she starts drawing the side job becomes an obsession , to the extent where somebody else must feed and dress her;)

Hmm here is my idea:

- pre EoE
- Horror

Yui/Rei/Lillith said that everybody can return form the LCL-Sea, right? And we assume that they can return in any shape and form their heart wants them to be, right? So, what if some people indeed do return, but not as humans? What if their hate and fear turns them into something else, something fearsome and dangerous? And I'm not talking about your everyday zombies (seriously, i think zombies are lame, and i hate that they are somewhat "cool" again. what is so wrong about some good ol'monster-horror? :P )

So, Asuka and Shinji not only need to finde a way to fix their utterly broken relationship in order to survive after Third Impact, but suddenly also have to face a threat that hunts them at night.

How does that sound to you? Is that idea already coverd by a FanFic i dont know?

They would had to put Shinji as a bait and Asuka would be shooting them. I don't see it working in any other way. Shinji is not mentaly prepared for this kind of fightand would be a burden. Kind of like in Unbroken but marginally less useless.

Maybe, maybe not. I could just as easily see Shinji clinging to his desire to survive and do right by Asuka as I could see him crumble and break. What would make either scenario believable depends entirely on the writer.

Well, if Rebuild 2.0 proved anything it is that Shinji can be pretty ferocious when it comes to protecting those he perceives as friends, and pretty ruthless too, considering how willing he was toimpact another impact in 3.

Yes, but what if those people are flesh-eating monsters? It's win-win!

There is no win-win for Shinji. Never. So they would be most likely those who returned normal somehow.

Well, Evangelion is a deconstruction of SciFi mecha anime with a bunch of ideas from and homages to great sf, so that is to be expected if you are Willi to agree with academia's opinion that science fiction and the pulps from which it sprung were basically" adolescent fantasies for uncommunicative individuals emotionally stuck at the age of 16"


Personally I say "fuck U Akademia".

The only critic of any real use is the one who has tastes so similar to yours that he can spatre you the trouble of going through all published material that might interest you, to paraphrase Frank Herbert :D

The great Frank Herbert....blessings be upon him.

I actually think that what you said is a reason sci-fi is such a great medium: it's able to delve into really deep stuff, while at the same time connecting to us on a level we can enjoy and understand. Is that so wrong?

...I still want to see Shinji and Asuka 'I Am Legend'-ing it against a wave of malformed freaks slobbering their way from the primordial sea.
