Fun fact: Aryan originates as an old name for Persian (Persia being an exonym and the region traditionally being called some variant or Arya/Airya/etc. and yes this has shifted over time and given the name Iran.)

Also do we have to turn this thread into an N&P thread?

Judging from whom they've showed up to protest in the past, the problem is that far too many of them seem to view anyone whose politics they disagree with as a Nazi...

its not a problem if they're correct, which they are.

I wonder if Rei getting elected would violate the separation of church and state, as she is technically a goddess.

You do get that most members of ANTIFA don't want to fight with anyone other than Nazis?

I'm aware ANTIFA only fights "Nazis" but the label is tossed around so frequently, it basically means anyone that doesn't agree with their stance. There is a major difference between a Brown Shirt or SS officer and supporter of free speech and the 2nd Amendment. However, I've been called a Nazi, racist, bigot etc by expressing those views.

I bet her first decree when/if elected is "huggle teh Rei".

Huggle teh Rei is always the solution. It would probably solve cancer and world hunger with enough huggles.

Speaking of huggling teh Rei, I'm finally getting around to reading AsukaQuest. It's about as weird and moodswingy and traumatic as I have heard. Though after the Hikari incident in it, I want to know even more if she'll ever actively do something here- maybe fight in 03 against SEELE if Kaworu can't. I'd love to see her being badass :3

Alternatively, one of the ideas I would like to write but am hopelessly unqualified to do justice to is Shinko deciding she wants to transition shortly before getting That Letter and deciding that moving to a new city where nobody knows her except her father is a perfect time to start presenting as female.

For what it's worth, this sounds like a downright fascinating premise for a fic, and I'd read the hell out of it.
 
Rei as a political leader would be interesting. Here is another omake.

Misa: Just what sort of ideas are you thinking of Ritsuko?
Rit: Well Maya and I do already massage each other. Now that I think about it, we used to do strip poker in college.
Misa: Oh yes, we would both be plastered and would find ourselves naked when we came to. Are you thinking of doing it again?
Rit: Yes. Only we also include Penpen, Maya, Asuka and Rei.
Misa: Do you think they would agree to try it?
Rit: You never know.
Misa: By the way, you aren't be thinking about doing a freaky friday flip, are you?
Rit: I am considering it. I mean if Shinji and Asuka doing that would cause such a reaction in you, imagine the reactions of the other staff at NERV.

His fiancee, as in Misato. Since he (finally) proposed to her during or shortly after Operation Crucifix.

It is indeed German.

Also Section 2s not Section 2 as you are using a plural of that.
Click to expand...
Click to shrink...

I wasn't quite sure what would be the proper plural to use for agents of something like that, since "A couple Section 2s" kinda looked off to me. Though I suppose "A couple Section 2 agents" would work. Either way, I clarified that line.

Fixed :) Thanks for error checking.

Starting to write the Madoka one, I imagine it'll be of a smaller scale than the ones before it. Also I haven't seen Madoka for ages, so this will be fun for everyone involved.

Excluding Sayaka and Kyoko of course :V

That reminds me of a greentext I read once, which I will now interpret into an omake.

"So what's the plan?" A gruff man spoke.

Several men crowded around a small table, overlooking their conspiracy.

An albino man of auburn hair spoke. "We've grown tired of NERV and their machinations destroying our homes and livelihoods, so we're gonna give them a taste of their own medi-"

All of a sudden they were sieged, at least 28 armoured agents bursting through the wall of the warehouse in black Ford Raptor trucks. "DON'T MOVE!" They all shouted in unison.

The gruff man simply looked on in exasperation. "What the actual fuck guys, you weren't meant to raid us until next week!"

"And just who the fuck are you?"

"I'm CIA!"

The armoured Section 2 agents simply looked amongst themselves.

"You're CIA?" Another man spoke up, hands still in the air. "I'm PSIA! We planned a raid for the week after!"
"I'm just a prefecture police officer!" Spoke another one. "We weren't even planning a raid yet!"
"I'm a UN officer! I wasn't even 'ere till last Thursdi!"
"I'm JSSDF! I got here three hours ago!"

The frustration on the lead Section 2 agent was evident. "Is fucking anyone here an actual terrorist?"

They all looked to the auburn albino.

Who took off his wig. And glared at the lead Section 2 agent, who recognised him. "I'm NERV. God knows how I didn't know about this."

The crickets were painfully audible as everyone scrambled for their ID.

"...lemme get this straight." The lead Section 2 was practically facepalming. "Everyone here is an agent?"

Nods. Other Section 2 inspected and passed their claim, which was around the time everyone finally put the guns down.

"...How the fuck did this happen?!" The lead Section 2 kicked a loose brick in frustration. "We're smarter than this!"

"Obviously there's been more than a few failures in communication somewhere down the line." The ashen boy deadpanned, moving to fly out the rubble. "How embarrassing."

They just looked on as he broke through the roof and flew away.

"...let us never speak of this again." Section 2 piled back into the black Ford Raptor trucks and pulled out, through unbroken sections of the wall, leaving the five remain officers to ponder how such a clusterfuck could happen in the first place.

Rei can polylocate.

Getting huggles from everyone merely requires her to know that someone is available to huggle.

See Ranma 1/2 for a hugely successful story that did this with a non-binary main character.

I was gonna say...

Asuka's worldview has been selfish and self-centered in canon and she is a lonely teenager desperate for friends and companions. She is in a state of mind that makes her very malleable and susceptible to manipulation. Is she a smart enough person to get out of being manipulated into joining something like the far right? Probably not as her social intelligence is at best stunted. She is a follower of whoever offers her the succor of belonging. Now in fanfiction if her politics get brought up they are usually some form of center-left. That doesn't mean that the alt-right can just claim her as in canon her worldview is just self-centered and selfish and as such politically closest to a centrist worldview.

I'm not sure Asuka would be drawn in by such manipulation without her alarm bells going off. She is by nature paranoid, and doesn't allow herself to trust anyone. If Kaji or someone else she trusted to that extent drew her in, it could happen, but I don't think she'd even be interested in any kind of social movement.

Basically, Asuka's mindset is "Everyone else is gonna mess with me, so I'll mess with them first". She might play at being a military autocrat, but it would just be for a laugh. That and her persona is that SHE is the superior one, and everyone else is an inferior. (Except Shinji, Rei, Misato and Kaji, in A&T) Ultimately, though, she isn't interested in leading anything but her "squad", and in the canon she doesn't really show any interest in that, either.

Yup. I can see it happening. In fact in canon you can read Asuka as a patriot of NERV.

Again, she's a patriot, but she's an insubordinate patriot. She doesn't take orders well. In A&T this is a good thing, and she does seem to have learned to consider other people's inputs.

Hey. You know what Studio Kimigabuchi's doing?

A RE-TAKE sequel. And they're getting to the good stuff early.


And by good stuff I mean mindfucks.

Only seen it in Chinese, can't even find a raw which is weird, but here's the plot for the curious.

It's actually set in the manga-verse post 3I. The world's forgotten the Angels and Evas existed, the MP series are petrified statues that dot the landscape, and Shinji's a country kid who's come to high school in Tokyo. Shinji's having dreams of the original history, and of an alternate Rebuild timeline where Shikinami er, has her way with him (all ages this ain't), but his life's pretty aggressively normal. Then he sees his very own quantum Rei (?), Touji transfers in to his class, and Asuka kicks a door into his face. She and Hikari take the boys to snacks to apologize, and Mari walks in to invite everyone to Karaoke as an icebreaker. Shinji and Asuka are separating themselves just enough for Makinami to give them shit over them having a moment... and they don't seem opposed.

And then Sachiel attacks.

And everyone but Shinji dies.

And then eyepatch Shinji shows up.

God bless this stupid mindfucky franchise and the fanworks that come out of it. :D
