In Deep Waters: An Arcane fic

Me and @caranchooa are currently writing an Arcane found family AU fic where Silco adopted Viktor as a child and he becomes siblings with Jinx. We delve in Jayvik but keep the found family on the spotlight. You can find it here in case you want to read!

Metal Gear bosses will throw a bunch of barrels downhill at you like they're donkey kong while some kind of acid jazz plays in the background, then explode when they finally die after explaining how they were a victim of the Bosnian genocide in one of the most moving cutscenes you've ever seen. And they'll be named some shit like Cocaine Orc.

"lock in" is probably one of the most important phrases to enter the public lexicon in the 2020s

misato katsuragi is not just "that pedophile character."

yes, she grooms shinji. yes, it's messed up. eva wants you to feel disturbed by that. but flattening her entire character into "pedophile" misses what's actually going on with her writing.

misato is written as hypersexual, but not in a way that's empowering. it's survival. it's her crutch. she uses sex and flirtation as coping mechanisms, the only way she knows how to build intimacy after a life defined by abandonment, second impact trauma, and the death of her father. her relationships (with kaji, with shinji, even her casual joking) show how she's stuck in this loop where she equates intimacy with sex, because genuine vulnerability feels impossible.

her "hypersexuality" isn't meant to be titillating, it's meant to be tragic. it's messy, it's inappropriate, it's self-destructive. eva keeps showing us how she drinks too much, pushes boundaries too far, hides behind seduction instead of honesty. and when she offers herself to shinji, it's not some secret truth of "oh she’s a pedophile," it's a breakdown of everything she's been holding in. her fear of dying, her terror of being alone, her inability to connect in any way that isn't sexual.

that's why her character is important. she embodies adulthood in eva's world. not wise or put-together, but broken people dragging their baggage into every relationship. misato hurts shinji, but not because she's only predatory, it's because she's caught in the same cycles of trauma he is.

so yeah, call her out for her behavior, but don't erase the bigger picture. misato isn't "bad representation." she's realistic representation of how trauma, hypersexuality, and desperation can warp someone's entire way of existing.
