There was a boy named Shinji Ikari. A giant robot ate his mother. His father left him behind at a train station. This made Shinji sad.

After ten years, he received a letter from his father telling him to come. Shinji hoped his father would take him back. Shinji was mistaken. His father needed him to pilot a giant robot against a giant monster and would send out an injured girl if he refused. This made Shinji sad.

More giant monsters came. They impaled Shinji with giant tentacles and nearly boiled him alive. This made Shinji sad.

Shinji met a pretty girl on a ship. She was mean to him. Another giant monster came and he worked with the pretty girl to defeat it. Shinji grew to like the pretty girl, but she toyed with his feelings. Shinji could never be sure if the pretty girl liked him or hated him. This confused Shinji. This made Shinji sad.

A monster stole a giant robot. His father told him to destroy the giant robot. The giant robot was piloted by a child. Shinji didn't like this. His father made his giant robot destroy the stolen robot. Shinji couldn't stop it. The giant robot carried his best friend. His giant robot broke his best friend. This made Shinji sad.

A giant monster appeared in the atmosphere. The pretty girl attacked the monster. The monster violated the pretty girl's mind, making her scream. Shinji wanted to help the pretty girl, but his father made it so he couldn't. Shinji was forced to listen to the pretty girl being hurt. This made Shinji sad.

Shinji's friends left one after the other. He was alone. Shinji met a kind boy. He liked music. The kind boy told Shinji he loved him. Shinji loved him as well. He was no longer alone. The kind boy betrayed him. He was a monster. Shinji had to kill the kind boy. Everyone would die if he did not. This made Shinji sad.

Bad people attacked his home. Shinji wanted to take his giant robot to stop the bad people. The giant robot was stuck in red plastic. Shinji sat down. He heard the pretty girl fight the bad people. The bad people sent giant robots to fight the pretty girl. They made her scream. His giant robot broke out of the plastic. Shinji climbed into the giant robot. Shinji saw the bad robots had eaten the pretty girl.

This made Shinji crazy.

Shinji destroyed the world with his giant robot. He was never sad again.

This sounds like it comes from the most screwed up children's picture book ever.
Edit: Oh my god somebody make this happen!

I can't believe how much this sucks... to move, that is. It's a nightmare, a nightmare, I'm telling you! Disposing of unneeded stuff, packing, commanding the porters...

At least I can always count on you to do a good update. Thanks, mate.
 
There is one day left for everyone to submit a no longer than five thousand word snippet for Tempera's writing contest here on. Sufficient Velocity. Everyone go try it out, there's prizes.

Hmmmm.
Well, I could.

Except for I've never published my works anywhere, ever. And they're not even sci-fi-themed -- and I'm painfully shy about my works and somebody reading them.
And they're not in English, which means some translation is in order.

If I do it in time, I'll post them. I have around 7k words of untranslated text, which means.... hm, around 5k in English.

I think I'll give it a go.
 
Allright, I've caught up... I think, and hello everyone, I've enjoyed lurking on the site quite a lot, and hope that I can share in creating more fun.

I was wondering, but I want to be respectful about it... but what about Ritsuko's sexual orientation...
for, to me, in the anime it always came across as that 'The Incident' between Ritsuko and Misato was mostly (self-)exploratory, resulting in them both firmly convincing themselves that they are heterosexual after all ('Let's not ever speak of this again'), making Maya's crush on Ritsuko all the more naive and tragic.
Ritsuko was mostly in the "Relationship" with Gendo out of jealousy of Yui, this much is obvious to me, but... was professionalism and self-revulsion the only thing keeping herself distant from Maya, or did she perhaps find her cute underling nothing more than 'Just cute', without any inclination to initiate romance with her?

Geez, this is a difficult question to type both accurately and as respectful as such a subject deserves...
 
The only thing we know for sure is that she's attracted to men (or at least genocidal bastards). If it serves the WAFF to view her as being bisexual, then why not?
 
I actually ran across someone who did some thoughtful analysis on Ritsuko's orientation, in comic form too no less. Sticking it under a spoiler tag for really freaking long image.
All credit goes to Shadowjack over on the rpg.net forums. He makes insight and creativity a habit.

Edit: My favorite bit from Shadowjack's analysis: "If the only reason a potential relationship doesn't work out is because no one said anything--what's more in the spirit of Evangelion than that? The entire series if a tragedy of missed moments and reclusive silences."

Damn, why can't people be simple like Greek gods or Slaaneshi cultists: Anything that moves.
