I Don't Think That Evangelion Works As A Series If You Don't Interpret Kaworu's Feelings Towards Shinji

I don't think that Evangelion works as a series if you don't interpret Kaworu's feelings towards Shinji as love, and as the kind of love that humans share between each other, and Shinji not returning that love.

Kaworu teaches Shinji something very important: that being close to other people hurts you, but it's worth it. Kaworu showed Shinji unconditional love. He was interested in him, invested in him, liked him. Even though Shinji had killed so much of Angel kind. Kaworu loved him at the very end, even when he knew that Shinji had to kill him. Kaworu comforted Shinji even when he was at his mercy, moments from death. For some reason, Kaworu felt that showing Shinji love was important.

Shinji has been used, and hurt by the people around him. By his father, by Asuka, by Misato, even by Rei. But he learned, vitally, from Kaworu, that this doesn't make someone unworthy of love. That it doesn't mean he should give up on humanity, or on himself.

Today's aesthetic: people who are like "this anime could have been good if it weren't for one specific detail that totally ruins it", and then that one specific detail is, like, the thematic foundation of the show's core premise.

I can't believe I'm into Hatecrimes MD now but Jim 'I spend my entire life trying to be as nice and unoffensive as possible' Wilson and Greg 'I go out of my way to be a rude selfish asshole that ignores all social niceties' House have one of the best dynamics I have ever seen in television. Both of them are mortally allergic to opening up about anything ever. House makes this obvious within two minutes of being forced to speak to you, but Wilson will be your husband for years without you ever knowing he has a brother. They drug each other. They're best friends. They're the longest lasting, most important, and most unhealthy relationship in each other's lives. They both constantly trample over any sort of personal boundaries - Wilson because he's obsessed with fixing people, House because he's obsessed with solving puzzles. Wilson makes House to go to his father's funeral so House gets him arrested. They met when House decided to bail a random stranger out of jail because he was bored. They're both in desperate need of therapy but one of them doesn't believe in therapy and the other has deluded himself into believing he's perfectly well adjusted. They live together. 'Genius asshole who has something wrong with him' x 'utterly average guy who has something deeply wrong with him'. 'I can make him worse' x 'I can fix him (consistently fails to fix him)'. Self-absorbed and refuses to comply to the expectations of those around him in any way x selfless to a fault and defines himself by everyone around him. They like monster trucks.

When he announced that he approached all the plagiarized with public emails to apologize (since he couldn't easily find all of the people) I, like a clown, believed him in good faith. Only for him to only have very public content creator Alexander Avila blocked. Fool me once indeed...

"I was lazy, I wasnt trying to be malicious"

My problem with the whole Somerton apology, is that his actions were arguably malicious! If you take several steps to hide what you've done, if you start vague-tweeting at people who later have to hide their presence online because of harassment, if you dismiss lgbtq+ creator's concerns by just deleting the bits of the videos where you stole from them, you're not being "lazy", you're actually putting in a lot of work so that your version of events remains the only narrative!
