NEVER FORGET
Kaworu did not spend over 20 years being Shinji’s canonical love interest only for Netflix to try and downplay his feelings. If he could say it in original dub, which originally aired in the early 2000s, why is it different now?
Well…
They blew it.
I had faith. I ignored the suspicions in my gut when I watched those trailers, I ignored the thought of “hmmm, this marketing is not at all indicative of the show’s content, maybe Netflix doesn’t understand the property.” I told myself I was making a fuss over nothing and that everything would be fine.
Turns out I was giving Netflix WAY too much credit.
They proved they didn’t care when they mismarketed the property as a heart-pounding action series instead of the allegorical character study that it is.
They proved they didn’t care when they refused to reach out to the original dub cast who were willing and able to reprise their roles.
They proved they didn’t care when they cut one of the most iconic songs in the series which not only served as a bop but as foreshadowing for the series end.
They proved they didn’t care when they squandered their opportunity to correct the mistranslations from the original release, instead mistranslating the show even more and going so far as to censor an mlm romance DURING PRIDE MONTH when they have NO problem flying the colors where it will get them more money.
Netflix failed to understand the importance of the property they acquired. They took no time and made no effort.
All they cared about was the money.
ugh I haven’t drawn any NGE art in a long time…. I need a tissue….
happy valentines DAY i don’t have anything cool to post but i found this doodl
We’ll meet again
Shinji knew people liked him. He knew he had friends. He knew there were people in his life now that he cared about and they care about him. Even if sometimes those feelings were complicated.
But Kaworu….Kaworu was different. He didn’t just say he liked Shinji. There was no impact with just saying like. He loved Shinji. He brought something to him that he never had before. The approval and love he wanted from his parents. From the world. His friends. Anyone. Everyone. That warmth that comes for one little word. He loved Shinji. He wanted him to be happy. He wanted him to feel whole. He was born to meet him. And Netflix shortened that. They didn’t let new watchers experience the impact that Kaworu’s short appearance had on Shinji. They don’t fully show why he became so important to the NGE fanbase. I love that NGE is on Netflix and available to so many people but at the same time I’m sad.

Vegans of tumblr, listen up. Harvesting agave in the quantities required so you dont have to eat honey is killing mexican long-nosed bats. They feed off the nectar and pollinate the plants. They need the agave. You want to help the environment? Go back to honey. Your liver and thyroid will thank you, as well. Agave is 90% fructose, which can cause a host of issues. Bye.
Beekeeper here! Just wanted to say that the fact that vegans won’t eat honey is very silly. Harvesting honey does not hurt bees. The invention of modern moveable-frame hives means we can remove a selected frame, extract the honey and return it without killing a single bee.
If we destroyed the colony to harvest honey there would be no bees for next year, and beekeepers are incredibly careful to keep their bees healthy and thriving. We take *excess* honey that they don’t need, and it stops the hive from becoming honey-bound, meaning that there’s so much honey the Queen has nowhere to lay eggs. And if the winter is harsher than expected and the remaining honey store runs low, we feed the bees plenty to make sure they survive. We also make sure that pests are controlled, bees are treated for disease, and the hive is weatherproof and in good repair, all things that wild bees struggle with.
Keeping bees in properly managed hives where they don’t starve or die from preventable disease is much better for them than being left to fend for themselves, and they’re far too important to be left alone.
All the fruits and vegetables that vegans *do* eat couldn’t exist without bees, and the hives which pollinate those crops also produce excess honey which the beekeepers can sell to help keep themselves and their hives going.
TLDR: BUY THE HONEY, HELP THE BEES.
but thats just my onion

The people who hate this are probably the ones traumatizing their children
this is a show for 3 - 6 year olds what is WRONG with these monsters???
Fun fact, sesame street was created to fill the gap in education for children whose families could not afford to send them to preschool. Sesame street taught basic math and phonics as well as interpersonal skills so that children below the poverty line weren’t starting elementary school behind their more privileged classmates.
Here sesame street is trying to fill a gap where supportive adults should be. Where there should be a teacher or a family member or a counselor to help, for whatever reason, there isn’t, so Sesame Street is stepping in.
This breed of person has always hated Sesame Street. They hated it for showing black and white children playing together. They hated it for giving children of color the head start that rich white families were paying for. They hated it for Bert and Ernie for showing two MEN who LIVED TOGETHER, for the married black nurse who lived on sesame street when it was first released, and for them explaining death. I feel like there was a pregnancy at some point in its early days and they would have REALLY hated that.
These days they don’t (usually) say “I’m not letting my kid watch anything with black kids in it” but they sure throw a tantrum in the youtube comments when Sesame Street DARES to show an autistic girl playing with non-autistic children and being treated like shes anyone else. They lose their shit when Sesame Street has to explain incarceration to 5 year olds. And the muppet in south africa with HIV? Hoo boy.
They hate everything Sesame Street stands for and tries to provide. They always have. We just have to ignore them and keep supporting the show. Or tell them to shut the fuck up and keep supporting the show. Either way Sesame Street will outlive them.
Sesame Street will outlive them.

File this under “super obvious yet I always seem to forget it.”
I don’t write romance (I totally respect people who do, though!) but this is also great writing advice in general! What is preventing the protagonist from achieving their goal?
Why can’t these two people be together now?
Why can’t the mystery be solved now?
Why can’t they overthrow the evil overlord now?
If you don’t have a solid answer for these questions, that’s a good indicator that the plot could use some more work.
Also test your answer a little bit. If it’s as thin as they’re just refusing to sit down and have a simple conversation, you might want to re-think how things are going.
As a beta reader/editor, I tend to ask this question a lot: “Why are they doing it this way when there’s a much easier path available?” That’s not to say that they should take the easier path, because that would usually be boring. Instead, the point is that the question needs an answer–either eliminate the easier path or give them a very clear reason for not taking it. (And if I’m asking the question, that reason isn’t as clear as you think it might be.)
I find it very difficult to root for characters who have a sensible option available and just don’t take it. If the only reason is “Because there wouldn’t be a story otherwise,” you haven’t actually found the story yet.
And this is why the Big Misunderstanding as a primary plot device is almost universally disliked.
Reblogging mostly for that last comment. The Big Misunderstanding is so annoying, and I still see it used even in the best fiction.
