Hey, all I was saying is that he seems to have made a genuine mistake in the terminology he's using, and thus should make sure he got his terms right.
Of course... well, kinda. They were starting to spread back then, IIRC.Isn't that just because the internet and google weren't really things in 1995?
Oh god, that's some of the best written WAFF I've ever read. While I'd love to see a follow up, it really doesn't need one. It's great as is.
I don't know, I'm very curious to know what possible effect could such a divergence have on everything that happens afterwards. Probably gonna involve Shinji going apeshit in EOE when the MP Series start to gang up on Asuka... even while Asuka angrily complains about him butting in her fight (but grateful for the assistance nonetheless). Then Asuka quits complaining when one of the Heavy Spears transforms into a Spear of Longinus replica and almost runs her through if not for a timely intervention by Shinji ("Was zum Teufel?! Verdammt noch mal, das ist Betrug!").
The German is fine, though considering the foul mouth I usually associate with Asuka, I'd more go, "Was zum Teufel!? Die bescheißen, verdammt nochmal!" ("What the hell!? They're cheating, damnit!")
Yup, those are it.
Or you could just give in already. Like I say this as someone who doesn't care about the OT3 one bit, but when your characters have to justify themselves in-universe as to why they're not assimilating Rei, you're basically just lying to yourself.
<EPIC FACEPALM>That's not what I was talking about! Geez, I even quoted the passage--
... I have no idea how you managed to not see that I was saying exactly this.
And herein lies the misunderstanding: I'm not trying to prove that canon!Asuka is a repressed bisexual. I'm trying to prove that canon!Asuka could be a repressed bisexual (which, of course, leaves room for the opposite case of her being simply heterosexual), and thus any fanfic!Asuka that is a bisexual (repressed or not) cannot be said to automatically contradict canon!Asuka's characterization (simply because there is nothing decisively for or against Asuka being bisexual).
I think there is one, but IIRC it's been dead for quite a while... or maybe I'm confusing it SB's Evangelion thread.
He already outlined how the rest of the story will develop, I believe. Besides, he did admit that he may end up writing an AU spin-off that revolves around the OT3 (and perhaps other things).Or you could just give in already. Like I say this as someone who doesn't care about the OT3 one bit, but when your characters have to justify themselves in-universe as to why they're not assimilating Rei, you're basically just lying to yourself.
Well yes, but you could just as easily prove that canon!Asuka could secretly be a practicing Satanist, or a Skrull impersonator, or the anonymous author of a best-selling series of romance novels. If your only criteria is "this isn't actually proven untrue by canonical information and you can interpret some of her behaviour as being related to it", the sky's the limit.
... Except that all of those scenarios you've described are far from easy to tie into anything that we've seen of Asuka.
:lol Now I want to see a fic about this!
A lot of EVA fics do that. Play It Again Shinji for example. In fact, in almost all of the fics I've seen where the Abrahamic God and/or Satan actually exist and do interact with the cast at some point or the other, the Angels have always been real Angels.
Isn't that just because the internet and google weren't really things in 1995?
OK, it seemed otherwise when I first read the post.
... Dammit, I hate it when hindsight shows that I had misrepresented my own argument without even realizing it. It's times like these that I hate the fact that I'm quite unused to holding long conversations/discussions in English (very few people here close to my level of fluency, let alone on the same level, thus little opportunity to practice); I might have avoided such mistakes otherwise.
"He loves you, Shinji."
Aside from being an Aspie giving me an unconscious urge to back down when challenged, I mean.
to be fair, Skrull invasion can in fact improve NGE Earth's situation

I don't believe you one bit.and no, that has nothing to do with my custom title
Oh god the dialup bills. I remember when a 14.4 kbps modem was cutting edge. Hell as far back as 2005 i was using a 36.6kbps dialup modem.
To be fair, the contents on web/newsgroups/IRC were also more bandwidth friendly too.
