Akito and Ena taunting each other for their slow burn love lives be like:

Akito: how’s it going with Akiyama huh?

Ena: none of your business

Akito, smugly: ha, so you’re not making much progress

Ena: speak for yourself. have you gone on a date with Toya yet? have you held hands yet? have you —god forbid— confessed yet?

Akito:

in modern day, i think Kaworu would actually be the one to fall down the audio tech rabbit hole, faster and deeper, despite Shinji being the one associated with earphones and music players.

i imagine Shinji using hand-me-down earphones that probably came with the sdat player for most of his teens. he’d listen to them so mindlessly in his depression, the only thing could he care about is if the volume is loud enough to drown out his surroundings. this would carry on into his adulthood despite him overcoming his depression because his audio taste is so warped (man hasn’t heard good audio in his life) yet the boomy quality of dirt cheap earphones (for modern day) sounds comfortably familiar.

enter Kaworu, the music-loving angel nerd. for the funnies, i would like to think he was only enduring Shinji’s (technically G*ndo’s) earphones in 3.0 but anything for the crush y’know. when Kaworu gets a taste (listen) of modern technology, his eyes (ears) gets opened and he’s instantly hooked on IEMs and quality headphones. chase the bass clarity, the treble sparkle, the technical details of his beloved instrumental pieces. he makes it his mission to wean Shinji off the god-awful dollar store earphones. and i suppose this is how their audio shop dates are going to look like:

Shinji, trying his 5th IEM in one sitting: i think i still can’t really hear much of a difference between these and my old earphones… (^^;) Kaworu, exercising the patience of an angel: i see. the pair you just tried has a v-shaped tuning with a bass boost and supposedly makes basslines sound clearer. you might have heard overlapping qualities with your old earphones but don’t worry, listening takes practice. it doesn’t hurt for us to come back again (^w^)

…it’ll take Shinji a while. but Kaworu is a yapper and a patient, loving partner. and in the meantime, Adam bless Kaworu’s ears whenever he has to share Shinji’s earphones.

[regarding Phainon birthday headcanons] 2 July this, 7 July that, consider 4 July — how ironic it’d be for the man who (almost) couldn’t be freed from the cycles to have his birthday on the independence day of the land of the free

between kawoshin, Kaworu seems more like the type to look younger than his age. he’ll be rocking his mid 30s looking like a fresh college graduate while Shinji looks accurately like a 35 year old. when they go on dates, certainly there’ll be people judging them for being an “age gap couple”, until Kaworu not-very-subtly makes a joke about Shinji being in no position to self-depreciate about ageing, because how dare Shinji call himself old with no consideration for his older husband’s feelings

March gifted customised mugs to every AE crew member. it started as her way to thank the AE crew for taking her in and after Trailblazer joined them, she gave them one too since they’re now part of the family.

extra: while Dan Heng doesn’t vocalise it, the customised mug helped him significantly with his self worth as a crew member, serving as a reminder that the AE will always be a place of belonging to him

Mizuki used to idolise An’s hair back when she was growing hers out. An was also the first friend to offer to style Mizuki’s hair and introduced Mizuki to hair extensions (which she *loved*).

Mizuki has a strawberry shaped mason jar of blue, white and pink paper stars on her desk. it was a coming out gift from Yuuki who spent days folding stars and hunting around town for a cute container.
