To celebrate, I would love to read any stories about how Eva has impacted anons' lives, or how your impressions of it have grown over the years. Or just thoughts on what makes Shinji so cute.

I love Evangelion and it's been a total pain in my ass.
Watched it because it was critically acclaimed and it aligns with a lot of my tastes in sci-fi and aesthetics.
Was severely closeted when I watched it and KawoShin definitely helped me get over that.
As an artist there was a point where I got fed up with Evangelion and how it was effecting me emotionally and psychically. Very sad show. KawoShin is tragic and melodramatic in a way that would feed into my own depression. Also noticed that there's a sort of trick to the way it's written: the kind of sleight-of-mind thing that will get schizos speculating endlessly as to what it means or talking about how deep it is, when it really kinda just boils down to being Anno's blogposts, informed by his own tastes, views, personal opinions, struggles, etc.
Evangelion forced me to re-evaluate other media. I now look at Star Wars as being about George Lucas' naivete leading up to, and subsequent depression/cope following, his divorce with his first wife. Kojima's body of work has quite a lot to do with his hangups about fatherhood, due to his losing his dad at 13.
There are quite a few great/classic works of sci-fi I can't look at now without seeing them as abstracted expressions of the personal hangups and psychology of their creators: and for better or worse that's thanks to Evangelion.
Might have even forced me to lose interest in sci-fi altogether, at least in the sense I used to enjoy it.

Re: Shinji - Evangelion depicts a universe where mankind isn't descended from adam and eve, as in christian mythology, but from lilith (presumably adam and lilith, although Eva makes some distinction between its version of adam and humankind - to the point where I'm not sure if the lilim are supposed to be descended from adam/lilith in eva) this makes Shinji a descendant of an ancient sumerian succubus.
This + cute design + tributes = cuteness egregore

An actually interesting blog post.

I've said it in previous threads but i think Shinji's plain appearance is part of what makes him so cute

By God that is cute...

fuck my stupid gaycel life i'm going to die alone

>*scoffs* Don't act like you've never fantasized about keeping Shinji wrapped inside an all-day, stink-to-the-max, smelly feet mission, Ritsuko! We know you love it when Shinji's sneakers smell so rank he has to strip them off and let the soles slap you while the aroma fills the room. Mmm! Just keep him sealed in the EVA like that and we'll both have our foot-gasm dreams. *moans deeply* You have a foot fetish just like I do, don't pretend otherwise when your panties are sticking to your ass after being close to all that stinky EVA-juice. Mmm, you love it when Shinji gives you the evil-eye after a day of sweating and stomping to turn you on. But I love that he goes so crazy giving his smelly, callous-feet some lovin' that I can keep worshipping both of you. But the best part isn't just one kind of sweaty-feet, but like, oh Shinji Ikari's or Shinji "Liquid" Ikari? I just LOVE that.

that's a pretty interesting way of view on eva. definitely makes sense. depression and mental struggles really do permeate all elements of the media we consume. i especially find it interesting how it so often is disguised under happy seeming stuff. eva is probably my favorite one of these type of things, it is just so good at depicting the feeling of loneliness and despair creeping up on your life.

also yeah kawoshin is amazing. definitely one of the ships that helped me understand myself better lol

... shinji and kaworu are just so adorable (^///^)

Niggas see my Twitter but they don't see how I be feeling
