seeing the end of evangelion in theaters was fucking amazing

the surround sound made it sound like people were laughing in one corner of the theater, but it was actually just one of the characters in the movie

and i could hear sounds that i couldn't when i watched the movie on my computer, sounds that i didn't even know played at that part!

and i knew the credits were in the middle of the movie, but the end was so much more impactful because of that when i saw it in theaters!

shinji stopped strangling asuka when she reached out to connect with him, he cried, she said "how disgusting", and then the words "the end" showed up on a white background

then the screen went black

and everyone was quiet

and we all just got up and left when we were ready

but then after that, when i was in the hallway, i saw someone else with a rei plush

i held mine out to them and said "high five" and our plushies high fived!

people complimented my cosplay

i saw someone with a cool shirt and i told them i liked their shirt

i connected with people!

i may never meet them again, but i had that connection with them because i saw we had a common interest and i reached out!

seeing that movie made me feel like i want to try to do that more

it made me feel like, even though i tend to be quite an anxious person, i can still connect with people and make new friends

it made me feel like there are more people in the world who i can connect with and who i can love and who can love me, too!

[i-was-a-teenage-eldritch-horror]

I (unwisely) recently logged on to the website formerly known as Twitter, and was immediately greeted with more eva fandom misogynist apologia on the for you tab. Will this ever end?

Equating Shinji's misogynistic actions towards Asuka (and his more subtle misogyny towards Rei and Misato) to Asuka being rude and abrasive to Shinji is just absurd. Is Asuka rude? Yes. Does she have poor social skills? 100%. But Asuka is not a bully, period. Why? Bullying, like abuse, is about power structures. The only character more powerless than Asuka in this show is Rei. Asuka has no adults on her side. Misato favors Shinji because he reminds her of her father wound and neglects Asuka because she reminds her of the feminine parts of herself (read: her unhealthy interactions with men and boys, particularly Kaji and Shinji, which, ironically, stem from her father wound). Or have we forgotten about this scene? Similarly, once Kaji arrives in Japan, he also begins neglecting Asuka in favor of Shinji.

In addition to Shinji's mistreatment of her, Asuka's also experiencing culture shock (compounded by the fact that she's functionally illiterate in Japanese, since she canonically can't read kanji) and the fact that Kensuke was literally manufacturing and distributing csam material of her (and other girls!). Asuka also lacks the protective Eva Unit that Shinji benefits from at almost every turn. The only ally Asuka has is Hikari, who is an ordinary girl with no power over any of the things that are harming or have harmed Asuka.

The smoking gun here is the fact that Shinji is fantastically unfazed by Asuka (who, it must be said, makes several attempts to be kind to Shinji -- which he typically shuts down). Until eoe, the most emotion that he shows around her is when he's understandably upset that she moved into his room while he was at school, and even then he's not upset with Asuka, he's moreso upset at the situation. When he does finally get angry at her in eoe, it's because she was honest with him about how he hurts her and how she does not want to help him (to be clear: she's not obligated to).

Besides that, he nonchalantly tells her not to speak to him that way, or confesses to another character that he finds her bothersome or annoying. There is no real evidence that Asuka has any significant, negative impact on Shinji's psyche the way an actual bully would have on their victim; no, the characters who have the most negative impact on Shinji are Gendo, Yui, and Misato.

What empowers bullies of any age in real life is a power structure (be it at a school, workplace, or in the home) that is negligent towards the victim. There is a reason why school bullies tend to be star athletes, high academic achievers, or exceptionally well-liked (by students, staff, or both) students -- it's because these students often come from privileged backgrounds and/or are aligned with the power structure of the school. Power empowers, go figure.

Misato's treatment of Shinji is definitely not admirable (let's not forget that by the end of the series, Misato has assaulted Shinji); but it's not neglectful. She's very concerned with and involved with his inner life, albeit for selfish reasons. Conversely, Misato knows every ounce of Asuka's pain (rewatch the end of episode 10) and still neglects her! Keeping both Asuka and Shinji in the same household after episode 9 was a mistake on Misato's part. A good, competent caretaker would've discussed the issue (the nonconsensual kiss) with them both separately with the end result being one or both of them moving out into the dorm-like housing that NERV has.

Point being is that the power structure exclusively benefits Shinji relative to Asuka. Despite also suffering as a child soldier and a victim of trauma and abuse, he is privileged relative to Asuka due to how the adults who have power over him and Asuka favor him through their interactions.

Finally, eoe beats us over the head with how uncompassionate Shinji is towards Asuka, Rei, and Misato. Characters who just to happen to be...women and girls. Huh. How about that? It's almost like there's a message there. Although there are a few moments in the show where it's suggested that Shinji ought to empathize more with boys and men like Toji, Kaji, and Gendo (suggestions to empathize with Gendo tend to come from Rei in particular, which I'm not a huge fan of, for the record, but I also recognize that this is Rei imparting her own perspective regarding her own internal journey of questioning onto Shinji), the fact that in eoe, the piece that marks the end of the series, much of the narrative focuses on Shinji's treatment of the women and girls in his life is absolutely significant and sends a message about misogyny.

Does being a misogynist make Shinji a horrible, irredeemable character? Well, that's up to each viewer to decide. My take is that he can still break the cycle and improve. Any story about childhood trauma and abuse would be incomplete without at least one of the characters going down the road of turning into an abuser and/or their traumatizer -- Shinji fits this bill in eva, same with Misato and Ritsuko. Despite everything, I like Shinji. I find him endearing and even identify with him to a certain degree.

When you ignore these facts about Shinji's character, you are erasing a large, very interesting part of his character. Reducing him down to any flavor of sensitive, soft boy is as boring as it is cliche after the more than a quarter of a century since the first episode aired in 1995.

The softness, the sensitivity -- this is Shinji's exterior. Beneath it lies someone who is selfish, callous, bitter, rude, and self-flagellating. As is the case with every eva character, the interior is more interesting than the exterior.

The thing is that everything I've discussed in this post isn't just some throwaway line or a piece of blink and you'll miss it symbolism. It's present in this show basically from episode 1 onward. Seriously, rewatch episodes 1-7. Shinji clearly has some misogynistic ideas about how women should be and this rubs off on how he thinks of Misato (and Rei!), especially regarding how women should dress, keep house, and interact with their sexuality. He not uncommonly makes jabs at Misato for being a slob and having poor dating prospects. After Asuka arrives, much of this is transferred to her.

If anything I've written here sounds like vilification to you, I'd encourage you to examine why. For better or worse, this is the reality of eva and Shinji as a character. Will you face this reality, or just keep on dreaming?

I do not care what anyone says, End of Evangelion is a love letter to Asuka.

It ended with a positive message: that life goes on if you choose to live it, and proved that she could find strength within herself to resist the temptations of human instrumentality, return to the real world and face her issues head-on, despite every horrible thing that happened to her. She survived and will still continue to live. That’s what makes her such a great human character.

Despite the overall positive message of the original ending, what it lacked was a proper resolution to Asuka’s character. And while yes, she received special attention, many aspects of her arc were not directly addressed. EoE rectified this.

Her pride took a massive beating in the last episodes of NGE. She ended up all alone, decaying in that accursed bathtub. She was hospitalized in a coma, all alone, was betrayed by the last person she could call a friend, and who considered himself a friend asking for her help.

And yet, when called into action, she rose up to the challenge again. Perhaps it was her greatest performance. She was defeated, yes. Some could say she was humiliated, yes. No matter. It was never about that. It was never about Asuka finding her sense of self again through success in piloting the Eva.

Inside instrumentality, she got to have a much-needed confrontation with Shinji, which was a long time coming for the entire series — something that the first ending did not address to its full potential. She even laid out her resentments and her feelings for him. Just because it wasn’t wholesome, or because neither of them were necessarily right or wrong in their stances, that doesn’t make any of it less valid or true.

In the end, she not only survived, but rejected the illusion to embrace her humanity and crawl back to life again. She chose to return to the world that had only brought her pain. While still showing compassion to the person who hurt her.

She isn’t perfect by any means and we cannot say her arc is truly finished: she still has to learn to love herself, accept herself and others, and face the pains of the world. That’s the whole point. It’s not over for her.

The mecha fights that she lost were the least important part. In the end, she won a much bigger battle.

Good news to everyone who like the old version of this one.

I’m still here, just tired. I need a home office magically. Also I need more conventions to apply to.
