You know, when you think about itShinji/Asuka was the only pairing that properly exemplified thesis of the show, it just made sense from a narrative and thematic standpoint and the 30th anniversary short proved itShinji/Misato is about freudian tension regarding her desire to be a "mother" to Shinji and her inability to express affection without sexualityShinji/Rei is about human empathy and compassion, and how basic dignity and care can go a long way for those who have never known anyHowever, the dynamic between Shinji and Asuka is the hedgehog's dilemma personified, two people with an intense longing for companionship and intimacy (and with nearly identical underlying neuroses) keeping each other at arm's length out of an intense fear of rejection and vulnerability
>>287926505boku no pico
what about the true canon pairing, Kensuke/Asuka?
>>287926572It's a cuck paring that only one retard ever posts about. Usually he camps desu and spams "Kensuke" for hour. Just look it up
>>287926572I don't think those two ever exchange a single line of dialogue in NGE at all
Asuka is way out of his league and would have been snapped up by an older boyRei masturbates a lot
>>287926572Not canon. Also you really do just camp the archive waiting for a post about Asuka. You can literally see in-between the spam you just reply "Kensuke" to any random post that says Asukahttps://desuarchive.org/a/search/text/Kensuke%20/
>>287926681They sure didn't in the short. Kencuck was in the cuck corner the whole time>>287926694Jesus. This goes beyond trying to bait, this pure mental illness
>>287926688Didn't she literally bail out of a date with a hot older student to hang out with him?Also, the manga claims that Shinji is pretty attractive and is held back by his non existent self confidence
>>287926505but I was thinking about Osaka
>>287926694So he hit the point where literally searches for any mention of Asuka nist to reply to it. Lmao
>>287926773Low self confidence very much overrides attractiveness in the eyes of women
>>287926505>Shinji/Asuka>Shinji/Misato>Shinji/ReiThere is another.
what about shinji and gendo? there is a lot of sexual tension if you think about it
>>287926975Correct.
>>287926928*pop*
So why did Anno make Asushin canon in the end? It makes no sense
>>287926887That's Asuka's main gripe with the guy, isn't it? That he shows that he can act like a hot blooded shonen protag inside of an eva but turns into a wimpy wuss outside of one?
>>287926505>cruel angel thesis>the thesis is about how the illuminati doesn't want souls to evolve so they plan to create a monstrosity of a singular soul and they need to break everybody's to accomplish it>asuka destroys with emotional pain>rei destroys with bad social communication>misato destroys with bad examples>gendo destroys with worst parenting>mari destroys by stealing>Kaworu destroys by foolish naivetyYou can't learn when everybody around you is a piece of shit mind controled by Nerv, nerv means nerves, like the tubes de brains uses to comunnicate with the body.Fuck your shit dilemmas
Remember when people used to be really mad at the thought of Asuka wanting kids?
>>287927232People always cite that one scene after her period but I'm pretty sure every young girl says that at one point and then every girl will later on deeply desire wanting to have kids. It's part of the game of growing up
>>287927232A lot of what Asuka does is literally just standard frustrated teenage girl behavior, half of them talk about not wanting children at that age then change their minds a couple years later
>>287927085It makes perfect sense if you pay attention to their interactions
>>287926866God, I see what you have done for others, and I want that for me
>>287926975You will never be a real woman.
>>287926505wrong. this is the true pairing.
>>287928382Ain't that guy into christmas cakes?
>>287927221That's SELEE's fault though, not of the people caught up in their bullshit
>>287926774NGE occurs in the Hakone region though, not in Osaka
>>287926688I doubt Rei has a libido at all
>>287930261It is now
>>287927232this shit was her self insert fantasy btw
>>287933157Asuka is too good got Shinji but Shinji is also the best option she has. He's the only person her age who can match her intellectually while relating to her on a human level.
>>287933157>see the word "self-insert">Let me check /ghost/ to see if he's seething>Kensuke schizo made a reply through /ghost/ right before this postLmao
>>287933385You know who self-inserted inside of Asuka and it's canonShinjiYou. Know who got to watch while bing tanged Kensuke
>>287933157Shinji canonically gets to fuck that? Holy Shit Kensuke bros we fucking lost hard.
>>287933519I mean, it happened in the movie
>>287933209That's kind of how it is in real lifeThe person you end up meeting may not be the perfect or most desired partner (and probably won't be), life is full of compromises
>>287935310This
>>287926975You could even call it a GenShin Impact
>>287937644Kek
>>287937644You should be shot
Cute couple
>>287927135This moment made Misato wetter than Kaji ever could.
>>287926688>implying Asuka isn't the gooner
>>287926887You don't know women dudeThey love that sad shy cute boy shit
>>287926505Every major character longed for companionship and pushed it away, the Hedgehog's Dilemma runs cleanly through the entire cast. They also run through different vectors within the same character group: making Misato and Shinji purely Freudian psychosexuality ignores the officer/grunt tension and the friction of the child presenting an adult fastidiousness versus an adult (and authority figure) behaving as a slovenly child.Rei had a dignity in being useful, her willingness to suffer for the cause, and her bond to humanity. It is shown several times that she is cared for, at least partially, by Gendo as Rei 1 and Rei 2. Her hostility towards Shinji abates once he manages to show the same care Gendo did, in an explicit mirroring of the first big moment of care we see Gendo show Rei.If you said that Shinji and Asuka are unique because they're forced to get over the Dilemma in Dance Like You Want To Win, and that their unraveling relationship tied up in Asuka's neuroses was a microcosm of the show itself, you might have something. But saying only they personify one of the fundamental parts of the narrative is terminal shipper/waifufag brain.
>>287927135The problem is A) Shinji doesn't reciprocate the feelings she has for him but can't admit to herself and B) Takes over her spot by Kaji's side platonically, which combined with Misato taking her (imagined) place on his dick, robs Asuka of the one person who makes her feel grown up and valid.She can't have a grown-up relationship, so she can't be a grown-up, so she relies on Eva. Once Shinji cucks her out of being the best pilot, she loses her sense of self, which causes her to become a worse pilot, which robs more of her sense of self until she's a dead-end vidya playing suicide case.
>>287943068She's incredibly tragic. Throughout the series she fails consistently until her confident facade ego becomes impossible to maintain. It's more like a bitter joke and her energy goes from boisterous bragging to pure resentment, hatred, and self loathing. And everyone around her, literally everyone in her life lets her down and abandons her, proving her worst nightmares true.
>>287927085Making it explicit that Asuka had feelings for Shinji is not confirming a ship. It is confirming the obvious. The short also has Asuka outright saying she doesn't need to be shipped with Shinji to be happy. She's going to grasp happiness with her own hands, and doesn't need to be made more special or given a consolation boyfriend to be happy. Being herself is true happiness.
>>287943193Oh, no. I just checked desu and the same time this seething post was made hw made another "on a tree"ghost post right before Seething
>>287943193>It is confirming the obvious.That you're spamming, trying to bait people into an argument that makes no sense and mad Shinji is fucking Asuka.
>>287939967She literally wants that I don't know how >>287943193 took a 13 min short and headcanon that whole post?
>>287943068Fucked up part is that she WAS the better pilot in terms of skill, Shinji just had the benefit of having his mom do most of the heavy lifting for him
>>287943193 I mean, what she says is that she doesn't want to rely on dreams, not that she doesn't want to rely on othersThat would be against the entire thesis of evangelion and wouldn't advance her character at all, since she already didn't want to be dependant on other people's feelings (and failed)
So people just really hates canon
>>287948750Based
You like Asuka x Shinji.I like Asuka x Shinji, but in a more nuanced, tasteful way.We are not the same.
