You have her say "That sounds like you would let me walk all over you", Shinji replies "If that would make you happy" with a sad face, and Asuka comes to the conlusion that no, that won't make her happy. IIRC, thats before she makes the choice to honor her promise to try and...

See, here is where I beg to differ. Asuka already understands that life hurts. She understands it and has accepted the fact that life can only hurt her. That's why she's suicidal. You are correct, if Shinji can only make her understand "Your mom's dead, you will always hurt, I can ...

Thanks for the explanation, that clears up some things. I guess what confuses me is the way the scene is constructed. At every point, it looks like Shinji chose wrong. That he could have done something different, while it isn't his fault at all that Asuka doesn't listen or explain herself, a...

Well, I can certainly understand your feelings, but my perspective is a little different. Rather than pandering to Otakus, I think that Anno is too self absorbed for his own good - like many depressed people are. And it's clear that he wrote 3.0 in a state of depression. Everything in that movi...

"Plot convenience" in the way that Asuka has to suffer, much like Shinji. And what better way to make her suffer than to never let her grow up or change (for the better instead of being an embittered 28 year old), while giving her a constant physical reminder of all the shit that happened ...

I've been playing around with a continuation fic idea for months now, starting with a quick A/S relationship and moving further and further away from them to explore the possible implications of Instrumentality on humanity as a whole. Trouble is I had their relationship starting with physical intera...

You are probably right. The next step would logically be the slow death of sex, lending itself to a dark story how everything turns boring eventually. I imagine ever more extravagant but futile attempts to get some of the old feeling back. Huh, I can't help it, somehow I can never imagine a bright f...

A nice, hearty take on the typical continuation fic. I read it more as a comedy than overly serious though (you can put the blame on the "I do not own evangelion, this is a parody" line), I don't know if that was your intention, but I really enjoyed it. Got mixed feelings about the ending....

That you are one lucky guy. I rarely dream, and I've never dreamt of Eva, outside of one very short scene, and that wasn't very happy. It surely sounds very interesting. I think it would make a great fourth movie (or fanfiction), but not one I could write. It requires a really ... dreamlike approach...

Sorry for double-post, but I feared that nobody would see an edit. So, Reichu inspired me to try and come up with a landing place for Rei. Here are some pictures. This time, I just tried to figure out where they are by looking at the beach itself and the coastline in the background. It's not pretty,...

Edit: Thanks for the heads up regarding OMF, I was just using it as shorthand, since everybody seems to be doing that^^

Allright, I've searched as good as I could, but I didn't find exactly what I was looking for, so here goes my attempt at reconciling everything seen in EoE as best as I can. Just up front: Obviously, the earth didn't split open and neither do we have nuclear winter - so I'll just assume that those t...

I really suck at giving praise, so sorry in advance ^_^ I'll try for constructive criticism. First, general stuff. I liked the spoken dialogue. It was a bit on the nose, but thats totally in line with the series itself, and you nailed that, so, no problems there. I'd just look back over what you've ...

Just finished reading the epilogue. You've found a really good, uncontrived reason for them to be able to live on, and I liked the way you handled their relations without having to explain all the in-between. I wasn't expecting such an ending, but it worked very well, and brought some kind of closur...

Hi! I recently red the fan-fic ideas topic, and as I was just writing the millionth pointless EoE Asuka/Shinji continuation fic for my own pleasure, I thought I take a stab at writing some comedy to offset all the inevitable drama that ensued. I thought I should post here first, since I've got no cl...
