Can you guys behave and not get the thread locked while Stryp is with his family?
This, oh so much this.

Frankly, I get that some people here are a fair bit antsy because there hasn't been a new snippet in a while. However, it doesn't excuse foolishness or disgusting post(s) that would make people squick (and Stryp locking this thread faster than anyone can blink). If none of you have anything informative or trying to dig deeper into one of the on-going subplots in this fic, don't post anything at all. It's better to not post and practice patience, than to post something stupid.
 
So since we know Rei is gonna come back somehow, and since we know Kawuro is probably not gonna die here because that would mean at least to me that his character arc of rising above the call was for nothing, I have to ask something that I've been wondering for awhile.

Do all the angels need to die for SEELE or Gendo to enact their instrumentality plans? Cuz as far as I remember one just needs the forbidden union of Lilith and Adam to become as God. In the show I'm pretty sure both parties were just waiting until all the angels were died so they wouldn't have to worry about an angel fucking up their plans right?

Anyways I thought that if I'm correct and you don't need all the angels to die to activate an instrumentality then why does Kawuro see it as if he must die so Rei, Asuka, and Shinji can be done with it all.

I mean yeah really couldn't Kawuro have just gone and killed Seele and Gendo by now? just kill them after the 16th angel is dealt with and boom, the only thing left to worry about is Kawruo resisting the call but even then Rei, Asuka, and Shinji could focus without the distractions of Seele and Gendo on just helping Kawrou resist the call.

I don't know I've kind of just been blabbering and I think just maybe I might be getting ahead of myself in this story

Oh god, I would love to analyze this (along with my opinion on the angels). Oh, woe is me, the life of a (procrastinating) music student is certainly draining whatever logical insight I can bestow upon others. :V
 
Status update: Yes, I've been on vacation in Vienna with my family. Things have happened. In fact, there has been PLOTTING.

No, the other kind. As in there's been a sort of Euro-SV meetup summit. Aleph has been helping me work on things. She's behind some major ideas. Literally behind. I mean she's literally standing behind me right now. It's kind of scary. Send help.

She's watching me. I can't make any sudden moves.

Aleph is very British. And is making me read Kerisgame. You all should too. In her sig.

....she's right behind me. D:

UNHAND MY SENPAI RIGHT NOW :rage: :rage: :rage: :rage: :rage:
I want to say something encouraging, but this looks interesting. So... I'll just sit back and laugh. :D

And you complain about us messing around in the thread :p
(Seriously though, I understand the difference between this and the crap that got us the banner over the reply box)
 
If I may be permitted make one final, brief derail, whatever happened to the plot-bunny @akrasiel23 made? It was quite interesting. Was it ever adopted?
Oh! Now I just had another, wackier idea: Imagine that Asuka was an Habsburg princess during the sixteenth century, still her rebellious and proud self, which made it impossible for her family to "properly" marry her off, yet her mother doesn't want her to be confined in a nunnery.

The solution? Well, their cousin, the King of Spain has his eyes set on approaching the still enigmatic kingdom of Japan, and what better way to do so than a marriage alliance? Cue our lovely redhead being shipped to Japan to marry with the son of a prominent Daimyo, said to be from a branch of their imperial family, one kind and naive boy called Shinji Ikari.

Now, to avoid a threadban. I actually kind of wish Kaworu does fight and die trying to get to Adam (Lilith), and give Shinji and Asuka some alone time to develop. As I've said before, their relationship so far has been utterly perfect...which is why I'd like to see them actually have some strife introduced for them to work through and figure out after their friend, who they've worked so hard on freeing for most of the story, has died. Besides, Kaworu's kind of lost the thing keeping him tethered for so long, just when it seemed like Rei was going to return his feelings. It'll be hard to come back from that (but given how this is a WAFF fic, he just might).

To be fair, having seen some of the earlier posts that got this thread a warning notice, I think we're in safe territory for now.
Though I will agree that that particular topic was toeing the line.

Glad to hear it :D:D:D
hope you guys are having a lovely time


The difference is that it's about the author's personal life -- which is directly related to the story (or at least the pace of updates) -- rather than being about, e.g., the appropriate recipe for Shepherd's pie.

Was it is a good recipe?
 
Oh, right, @Serafina, @Scia, @Fernandel, @Cornuthaum, @LilithPrime are all here with us too. It is in fact LilithPrime's 33rd birthday, and we're all out to dinner. Tuesday we depart for home, and there should be writing time in flight... assuming Imp 1.0 does not again borrow my laptop to watch movies.

Sir, Will you be so kind to let me translate into russian your epic novel? I really, really love your story and that`s a shame that a lot of people among russian speaking Evangelion community didn`t know about your works. Your fanficition nowadays is one of the most famous all around the world so it will be the greatest pleasure for me to introduce russian speaking people to your work. Please, let me translate into russian "Advice and Trust" and show to the russian speaking people the beauty of your novel! I swear I will neither stole your intellectual property nor make any money of it (all your author`s rights will be reserved and i respect you too much to abuse your rights in any way). I am terribly sorry to post this right into the thread (this is my first post on SV) and to ask your permission like that. Thx a lot for your talent and hard work. I need a reply because we can`t post translations without author`s permission. It is pretty much a strict rule among evangelion russian community.
 
*please, let me translate your epic fic into Russian, thx*

I dunno how it's generally done ( getting a permission, that is ), but try PMing Strypgia?
For bonus points, try PMing him when he's not on a vacation. Right now, he's generally too busy relaxing the heck out after his seventh deployment, so he's probably just not paying attention, not ignoring your request.
