Where did Kaji fit in again? There's a sort of eerie, almost subconscious resemblance between Kaji and Kaworu; a sort of easygoing coolness in their speech and mannerisms. When you recall that Misato initially left Kaji because she was terrified of how much he reminded her of her father, the pi...

The idea that wearing a Holden Caulfield hat makes Sachi look older speaks volumes about his eternal boyishness.

Let the record show that I'm deeply ambivalent about my sexuality. I imagine most people are, to some degree, but I'm getting in one of those (increasingly frequent) phases where I'm seriously considering castration to free me from the fruitless cycle of need and regret. I won...

While he has been looking pretty good in the recent pictures he's posted, we're not the ones scrutinizing his naked body in front of a mirror every day.

As a vaguely homosexual non-human, Kaworu was no doubt calling Gendo "father" with a bit of catty irony. As in "Hey, I'm gonna boink your son soon. See you at Thanksgiving." The unexpected fourteen years of isolation that followed took out some of his bite.

Good read, though the ending was far more painful then I had been expecting. Hadn't thought I'd care that much about J. D's relationship woes. :dejected: You got suckered in by his oily charm, despite the fact that he's an utterly contemptible little shit? Great. I might have a char...

Thanks for reading. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

The Pessoa avatar tells me you have great taste in literature.

Now this I understand completely. It's always annoying writing something and finding out that most of the time spent doing it was basically just wasted. I've gotten better at avoiding this but it still happens way too often. :irked: You have my sympathies. It happened to me again tonight. W...

I think that most of what made it seem impossible had more to do with perspective and mentality than anything, and I suppose there's nothing wrong with a bit of vacations and distractions as long as you don't lose sight of your goal. I wish I could have learned that when I was your age. For...

...if they end up coming back to explain whatever happened in those 14 years (considering they don't do it in 4.0 already) it will qualify as a cash-in, in my eyes at least. You should get those eyes checked. That definition of a cash-in is a tad nebulous. The marriage of art and commer...

I get off on watching Chee go at his own wrists with a straight razor, so I'll indulge the topic. While Akira is fondly looked upon as an anime technically it is not considered one. I'm curious, who doesn't consider Akira an anime and what is their reasoning? I've never met such a pe...

The Man Who Was Thursday: A Nightmare by G. K. Chesterton Gabriel Syme is a poet who believes in order, beauty and all the fun shit that comes with believing in a loving God, and so one day he joins a secret police force trained to covertly infiltrate anarchist groups. He is a rational man, you see...

Good luck with your interview, Xander, you old goat, you. ^ What kind of tea? Green. I know a place where I can get a box of 48 bags for 99 cents, so I hoard the stuff. Place may close down soon, in which case I may scream, pound the walls and lie curl up in horror as I wonder where I'll get my ...

Last night, when I finished the rough draft of the story I mentioned starting the other day, I was in despair. I had thought that plumbing the depths of my creative Id was a fruitless exercise that could never again result in anything other than disjointed nonsense that, although following the logic...

So your low post count of late is because of the work you've been doing on your novel and not because of a growing indifference towards EGF? Your optimism is charming, but I'm afraid that it's more complicated than that. My writing had for the past few months lost the cathartic power th...

Congrats and good luck, Riff. In comparison, my recent experience is minor, but delightful nonetheless. I'm not a terribly big bath reader. Don't like how the steam wrinkles pages and I'm always paranoid I'll drop the damn thing. It was a relatively slender tome, though, and I'd ...

I never really understood New Year's resolutions myself. Why wait for an arbitrary end/beginning date to start self-reflection and self-improvement? A genuine urge to better oneself can only come from the application of some external pressure and a thin veneer of peer pressure ain't gonna cu...

I'll read it. On one condition. You need to include a subplot about Dom Cobb, now reunited with his children and looking for a new sugar mamma, repeatedly re-installing different makes of mechanical penises in order to to be compatible with Motoko's vaginal firmware, which she keeps updating...

It's okay, I guess. Not as good as anything by Johnny Spaceboots. Have you read that guy? He's a genius. No doubt he'll be remembered as the voice that spoke to our generation.

The idea globally famous billionaire and celebrity can just waltz in cafe like that and no one recognizes him (make that "no one recognizes him the whole time that took place between preceding film and the epilogue") is fucking stupid. He lied and said he was Christian Bale, like ...
