i enjoy that every single human’s reaction to penguin is unrestrained delight

And penguins lack large terrestrial predators, so their reaction to humans tends to be, “HELLO STRANGE GIANT PENGUINS, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? DO YOU HAVE ANY FISH?”

If you want to understand why Evangelion has endured for decades while countless other seasonal anime have fallen by the wayside, there’s a particular moment from episode 17 that you should really consider. In the grand scheme of things, it’s really not an important moment at all, just a stepping stone en route to the greater plot. Toji and the class rep see each other in the classroom following Toji learning that he’s to be the Fourth Pilot, and he’s clearly got a lot on his mind because, well, who wouldn’t after getting that kind of news. But the class rep talks to him regardless, and we learn that Toji always buys lunch from the school store since no one’s around to cook for him and he never learned how. So the class rep starts talking about how she always makes food for her sisters, and she always has leftover ingredients once she’s done… and Toji, recognizing where she’s going with this, instantly agrees to let her cook lunches for him before she can officially make the offer herself. No big realization, no stunned reactions, just an acknowledgement of this obvious truth she’s building to and an acceptance of her attempt at an emotional connection.

Like I said, not a big moment. But everything about what makes this show’s script so enduring is encapsulated here. Too many anime struggle with making their characters feel realistically human, often settling for cartoonish exaggeration instead. Anime characters tend to be really dense, to miss obvious cues and be unable to react reasonably to rational situations. But here, we have the stereotypical dumb, brash punk character, at his most distracted and emotionally vulnerable moment, easily able to recognize what the class rep is trying to tell him- not even having to put any effort in, he just sees where her train of thought is headed- and responds to it with a reasonable reaction. Because if you were a normal person in that situation, that’s how you would react as well.

Evangelion is full of moments like this. Moments where the kids act like actual kids would in the situations they find themselves in, where their responses actually feel true to life. And none of them are played up or dramatized as massive, life-changing events; they’re just allowed to be, in the naturalistic, off-handed way that real life actually occurs. This is why this show has lasted as long as it has; it captures reality in the way it presents its world and characters, a vision of a fantastical future that carries the same social atmosphere and depth of everyday human nuance as our own mundane, ordinary lives. It’s baked into every single character, every single setting, every single conversation, and every single design detail. Evangelion doesn’t seek to dramatize the real; it just is real, and the drama comes from how that reality is forced into the pressure cooker of this seemingly hopeless war. All aspiring writers, if you want to learn how to write realism in your stories, study the fuck out of Evangelion. Because despite the giant robots and whack-ass Biblical apocalypses, it’s countless times more real than pretty much any other anime.

Let’s talk about what’s happening in Australia, which is suffering its worst bushfire season in recorded history.

This almost unimaginable catastrophe has killed half a billion animals with more than 14.5 million acres burned and released over 250 million tonnes of CO2 so far.

More than 5 million hectares have been burnt, and this number continues to climb – that’s the equivalent of one fifth of the entire UK // equivalent to twice size of Belgium.

Half a billion mammals, birds and reptiles have been affected, including an estimated 30% of the entire koala population in this area.

Lives and homes have been lost. Our thoughts are with the tens of thousands of people who are affected by these fires.

We HAVE to help... we have to do something before it’s too late. Pray For Australia 🐨and

Okay, I’m sorry but I just feel so restless about the bushfires, I made a mini-comic. Maybe it will get a few more people to donate. I wish I could do more. Please see http://wires.org.au if you want to help. :(

I cried… a lot.

Then I made a small donation to WIRES (link above). I wish there was more I could do.

I don’t understand why everyone is flipping out about this now. Wildfires happen in Australia all the time. It’s nothing new, same as the forest fires in the Amazon last year.

Except it’s not the same, it’s worse.

Wildfires are a part of the natural rhythms of Australia’s environment. But scientists haven’t seen anything like this before.

Just want to point out that Christopher Reeve was considering suicide before Robin Williams showed up. He didn’t just make him laugh, he saved Reeve’s life. Also, he paid for Reeve’s medical bills from the accident.
