Advice and Trust [NGE]

... why are people getting so het up about the Eva characters in magical girl costumes? I mean, seriously guys, this is not shocking, disturbing or even unusual.

Like, there's a point at which hyperbolic overreactions cease being funny and just get kind of overplayed. By the time you're reacting to a mixed-gender group wearing frilly dresses as if it's a sanity-shredding Cthulhu-has-risen scenario, you've long since passed it. And given the other material the internet has to offer, I'd rate this as worthy of a "meh" at worst.

Cut them some slack. It's obvious their newbies to the 'net. I mean nobody who's actually poked a search engine with random words and phrases would even be phased by anything tame enough to be posted on this board without drawing down a causality breaking ban-hammer.

You mean to tell me that seeing Gendo in one of those wasn't even mildly disturbing?

Shame if you really thought I would write an omake where Asuka sets Shinji's laptop's wallpaper to goatse as a prank, replete with Rei looking over his shoulder and deadpanning "what is that man doing with his anus?" :V
 
Well, I've been torturing animals conducting experiments on animals for years, due to my occupation. And I began as a firefighter back in my youth.
It's probably impossible now, shocking me with something but taser.
 
Clearly, I need to keep you all busy with an update soon. Preview!

Chapter 9
Everything I Do


The reminder of her duties as Class Rep seemed to have knocked Hikari mostly back into her role. She steadfastly refused Asuka's attempts at eye contact and subtle gestures to look at her school laptop for the barrage of chat messages Asuka began firing off. Next to her Shinji was fielding an excited barrage of messages from Touji, who had turned to his friend when Hikari only replied to his first few giddy messages with a gentle insistence that they pay attention in class and hold the rest of their reunion at lunchtime.

Neither one of them paid much attention to the grey-haired newcomer, who simply smiled, nodded, and headed for the empty seat at the back row of the class, two to the right of Touji. The overjoyed jock paid him no attention, too busy hammering out a steady stream of cheerful chat messages to Shinji and Kensuke to even look up. Some of the single girls in the class followed the pretty newcomer's passing with a curious eye, but even they were soon forced to turn their heads and at least pretend to pay attention to class, though a fevered speculation on his suitability as a dating target quickly grew on the instant message system.

Only one person stared at him steadily and hard.
 
Hello Kaworu. Nice to see you, even if your appearance was rather forgettable this time around. Here, have a kitty for you to kill and have some defining character moment.
 
"Rei? Rei, what are you doing? You're looking at the new student like you want to tear him apart."

"I am evaluating Nagisa-kun's suitability as a partner. Also, whether he's a threat that needs to be terminated."
