That's Rei.Not Sailor Saturn? I'd think that would be more appropriate, what with the destruction of almost all life...

Since this is the whole point of my fanfic "The Saotome Sisters", I'd like to weigh in. Barring derailment of the thread, of course.And I have seen that IRL. People, boys and girls that is, who have been very close friends since kindergarten and before, and who even during adolescence would sleep in the same bed or change in the same room and, err, nothing happens.
Well, it didn't in canon... If we go by how NERV seems set up in canon, pre-angel "training" would also just be yet another after-school activity. Not exactly a battle bond. Meanwhile, in canon, they did sortie together, did have battles side by side... and yet that still wasn't enough.Which is just as powerful, really. It would probably cut through their communication issues.
VA joke. Megumi Ogata voiced both Sailor Uranus and Shinji Ikari.Not Sailor Saturn? I'd think that would be more appropriate, what with the destruction of almost all life...
Mind you, Asuka and Shinji childhood stories are somewhat old in comparison to other fanfic ideas and many of the fics that run on that idea are not exactly noteworthy.Since this is the whole point of my fanfic "The Saotome Sisters", I'd like to weigh in. Barring derailment of the thread, of course.
From what I understand, the children considered here have to meet at around the age of six, and spend a lot of time together. As in, be in the same household. Occasional meetings over the years would reduce the effect. Note in Ranma 1/2 canon, Ranma regarded Ukyo as just a childhood friend, but their time together didn't stop her from falling in love with him. Their ten year separation disabled the Westermark effect.
I think if childhood friends Shinji and Asuka kept being separated over the years, one or both of them could fall in love. Then again, if the grew up TRAINING together, they would probably develop a soldier bond. Which is just as powerful, really. It would probably cut through their communication issues.
And I'll add I'd never HEARD of Asuka/Shinji childhood stories until I saw those (adorable) pictures. I can name some Ranma ones though.
And substantially more experience in bare-knuckle brawling.And then Gendo kicks his ass, because he's like 36 cm taller and has a hell of a lot more reach.
The Westermarck study is somewhat inconclusive. A lot of experts think we don't know enough to claim that any specific childhood romance scenario is implausible.No one knows for sure how it works. Westermarck effect is as good a guess as any.
And that's not even accounting for potential desires derived from two people who feel abandoned and have someone who they know cares about them.The Westermarck study is somewhat inconclusive. A lot of experts think we don't know enough to claim that any specific childhood romance scenario is implausible.
Thinking back to Nephilim Sushi from a few pages ago...Kaworu: "I'm not against this change of even--" *SMACK*
Rei: "Hush, Fish. You may be sashimi yet."
Wow, what a relaxed, rational viewpoint.Shipping preference: whatever's well written and with decent characters. No matter the fandom (or even wether it's a fandom I usually enjoy and/or follow)...
What? You don't like careening around a curve, with half the wheels up in the air, Dukes of Hazzard style?But we're too close to a derail as it is, so let's heave the train back on at least one track:
Great, considering metal gear came up again, I have no excuses for slacking on making that reaction image...Maybe I've been on too many Metal Gear threads lately, but It looks like Shinji's decided to let 'er rip.
Writing is happening. Preview:

He turned back to the tube. "You are able to perform your function, Rei? And rebuild?"
"Yes, sir. I will focus on restoring my AT-Field." Rei hesitated. "Status of the others, sir? My disabling will not compromise defenses?"
"The Second Child was unaffected. The Third Child is confined for failure to follow orders. I will deploy him if necessary. And Unit-03 will be deployed with the Fourth Child until the Fifth recovers."
Rei waited. It was hard. She wanted to scream at him. "My perceptions were confused, sir. I attempted to attack Unit-03 due to the Fifth Child's presence. Did I damage Unit-03?"
Gendo's razor thin smile was far too malicious now. "You did not. We will deal with the Fifth Child later. His injuries do not matter, and will possibly leave him weakened when you need to deal with him. The time will come soon, Rei. There is only one more Angel left to arrive. Once it is handled, I will allow you to remove the Fifth Child, and our desired end of our Scenario will finally arrive. And end to your pain and all barriers in our hearts."
"Yes, sir." 'I will not permit you to harm those I love, Commander.'
Rei: "You... can... (not)... Rebuild..."
Actress!Rei: "Ugh, saying that almost made me throw up. Now, give me what you owe me, Gendo-kun~"
Yes, please continue with the salt and tears of rage.
I wonder how the thread would react if Stryp posted a version of the end were Gendo "won". It would be glorious.
In all seriousness, I believe we've hit our chan behavior quota for today.
Memery, I suppose.
Posting reaction images with no accompanying text. Once in a while is perfectly fine, but if I'm not mistaken overdoing it is infractable.
