There exists a set of finite actions that, if I performed them in the correct order, would make me a millionaire in a day. I just don’t know what they are.

Neon Genesis Evangelion Episode 22 “Don’t Be (Director’s Cut)” (1996) Produced by Gainax

The use of Dolls as a motif in this episode is rather interesting

Mamoru Oshii in the script for Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence described the psychology for the fear of dolls thusly

[It’s] the uncertainty that perhaps something that appears to be alive actually isn’t and the uncertainty that on the other hand something that doesn’t appear to be alive actually is. If you want to know what makes dolls so unnerving it’s because they are modeled after humans. In other words they are man created in their own image. [It] creates the fear that the human phenomenon is fundamentally devoid of meaning and purpose…that humanity can be reduced to simple mechanical parts.

In the context of the story the use of the motif of dolls reflects the fear of being replaced. To be cast aside in favor of something new. Broken mechanical parts swapped out for newer ones that last longer and work harder.

Asuka as a character values her skills as a pilot because they give her a sense of self worth through others dependence on her. She takes pride in her competitive spirit and in her high synch ratios. She loves the fact that others depend on her to defend them against the Angels. However, she is dependent on others for her sense of self worth despite her personality. After all, human beings are social creatures and we depend on each other for both social, physical, and mental needs in different ways. You simply can’t live a healthy life “on your own”.  Without the ability to pilot the EVA, she is cast aside like a broken doll or broken parts in a machine by the power structure of NERV and SEELE which soon finds a new “toy” to replace her with in their game now that she no longer has any value to them.

As a side note the language that Gendo uses when discussing the pilots is rather interesting, in the subtitles pilots are rarely if ever referred to by their names, the exception being Rei. Even Rei outright states that if she dies she can simply be replaced. When Shinji shows up he’s referred to as “the spare”. The pilots are simply interchangeable parts in the command structure, kicked out when no longer useful and replaced.

A large sign on the edge of Aokigahara, Japan’s famous suicide forest, which translates to: “Let’s think once more about the life you were given, your parents, your brothers and sisters, and children. Don’t suffer alone first please contact somebody.”

Due to the vastness of the forest, desperate visitors are unlikely to encounter anyone once inside the so-called “Sea of Trees,” so the police have mounted signs reading “Your life is a precious gift from your parents,” and “Please consult the police before you decide to die!” on trees throughout.

The documentary about this forest is one of the saddest documentaries I’ve ever watched.

Oh my god…

I…

I just realized how Rose died.

I’ve only been in the fandom for a few months now but I just realized how Rose Quartz died. See the show and the fandom always talk about how she gave up her physical form to be half of Steven. And I think a lot of people get confused by what she meant.

Like I’ve seen a lot of fanart, metas, theories, etc. which suggest that Rose actually physically gave up her physical form so that she could transform into part of Steven and keep him alive. In other words, Steven is her reincarnation. (Well, he’s half her reincarnation and half of Greg’s DNA.) 

Which never made sense to me but then again I’m new to the show, so I’ve just sort of gone along with it. 

But now I’m here to present you all with a simpler (and ironically, darker) theory.

Steven isn’t a reincarnation of Rose. Steven is just Rose’s child. Which is still impressive and groundbreaking since he’s the first human-gem hybrid. But he’s not a human-gem reincarnation. He’s just their child. All of his powers are inherited from his gem DNA, not from being a reincarnation. I’m going to go so far as to say that even his gem was a product of DNA and not a symbol of the fact that he’s Rose 2.0.

“Ah, but marauders4evr, the show and Rebecca Sugar are always talking about how Rose gave up her physical form to-”

To give birth to Steven.

Yeah.

According to Rebecca Sugar, “Rose shapeshifted a womb for him to be born from.”

Pretty impressive Gem magic.

But here’s the thing.

According to Amethyst in Steven’s Birthday, “Steven, you can’t just keep stretching forever. If you hold it too long, you could really hurt yourself.”

Hmmm…fascinating.

It appears that if a gem shapeshifts for a prolonged period of time, they’ll have severe consequences. And we see this even further when Steven does…

…that.

Now for some odd reason, that turns Steven back into a baby, but that’s not what I’m getting at. I’m getting at the fact that Steven’s body took an extreme physical toll after just a few hours of shapeshifting. Because, as Amethyst said, prolonged exposure to shapeshifting can cause someone to “really hurt themselves”. 

Rose Quartz shapeshifted for nine whole months. And that’s not even counting the stretching she did to push Steven out.

My friends…

When Rebecca Sugar and the show talk about how Rose Quartz gave up her physical form to give birth to Steven, they literally mean that Rose Quartz stretched herself out for such a prolonged period of time that her body (ie: her physical form) eventually faced the consequences and withered away into nothingness.

Steven’s Birthday wasn’t just a filler episode. It was the key to showing us the process by which his mother died.
