[Evangelion] Doing It Right This Time

Reader mode
Short excerpt to prove I'm making progress...

"In my defence, I didn't actually know Kaworu was an Angel at the time. And if you're going to get that deep into the Good Omens fandom then you might as well be exposed to its most notoriously edgy fanfiction early on, right?" Mari's smile was a little strained.
"I'm going to quote you on that in the forum thread," Kensuke replied.
"Personally, I'm absolutely down for setting up a speakeasy in the Geofront," Toji added, "but screw all the other crap Mike pulled. That was just fucked up, man."
Misato glanced over at Shinji. "Do I want to know?"
"I doubt it," he replied. "And whatever you do, don't bring up Robert McNamara."
Misato considered this. "Has your life always been this weird?" she asked, after a moment.
"Not until I met you."
At this point the VTOL's engines began spinning up to takeoff power, and further conversation was impossible for some time.

Ah, Stuart. You were a Kratman-grade wingnut, but you were our Kratman-grade wingnut. And surprisingly good on trans representation as well.
 
*snrk*

I think Stuart had some lingering need to keep his ideas in touch with physical reality that kept him a half-step above Kratman.

Well, that, or a deeper and more powerful need to adhere to the image of seeing Nazis die in nuclear fire. Which, even if he was more about the nuclear fire than about the Nazi-punching, at least kept him from taking the very very last step into bottom of the pit.

At least until I stopped paying any attention to him, anyway. After that, who knows?

Announcing this so I can't lose my nerve: This coming Sunday, at 5PM GMT, I'll be streaming myself writing the next update. A Twitch link will be posted nearer the time.
 
I'm afraid not. In fact I hadn't even considered that, to be honest. I have literally never done a livestream before in my life.
 
If you go into the Twitch Creator Dashboard, you can turn on an option for it to save the VOD for up to two weeks, during which the creator can download it or copy it to YouTube. (It defaults to off... which I didn't learn until *after* my first stream.)

That was a change they had to make due to RIAA and other copyright holders getting rabid with copyright strikes on music people would have playing - they were in jeopardy of losing their safe harbor status if they didn't work to mitigate it somehow (muting sections of VODs wasn't working). It's not a great solution, but it's better than them just DMCA'ing streamers.
 
Hopefully. The stream... Well, I'm told it went okay for a first attempt, but if I try this again I'm going to make some changes to the format and my setup because spending two hours talking to a camera is surprisingly hard work.
 
Literally just registered to say how happy I am this work is still updating. I read this years ago and wasnt sure what was gonna happen with it, then I forgot about it for ages cuz adhd does that to ya and remembered it again after showing my little bro Evangelion for the first time.

I like your work! And I like these characters! And I like this interpretation of these characters! And I really really want to see what happens next!

Thank you for your work~◇!
 
Dksoskkckekrkfm I legitimately sorry I missed the stream t-t
In, my defence, I didn't realise you were still working on stuff >.<

Something I, wanted to ask/check-
What's the context of the jokes comparing a certain rebellious Angel with Clippy-
Is there something I completely missed about his status as being the only one of the bunch that's self aware/human+ sapient and sentient, or…
 
But here's the thing, if there wasn't 2nd Impact, then there would have been even more of a calamity in the next couple of years if the angel had awakened on its own.
 
Huh.
Was their developing a greater self-awareness a glitch in itself given the mindless nature of the other angels-
Or was an inteligent agent an intentional part of the system, and the -others- were arguably the worst affected/malfunctioning units?

…. Oh man,
Was.. was the defective terraforming system the ancestral race's equivalent of the THERAC-25 nightmare?
Forget jokes about a class action lawsuit,
There's a non-zero chance that there's an entire coalition -fleet- out there in the void tracing the units back to their point of origin, if the creators are still existent…

*coughs* my rambling aside,
Really am glad to see both you, and the story are still around on SV jake

Kaworu/Tabris being sapient was intentional, because the First Ancestral Race couldn't devise a non-sapient one that could be entrusted with overseeing an operational Seed. The other Angels aren't, and Kaworu's unable to directly control them for reasons to be covered in a future update.

And thank you. Hopefully there'll be a proper update soon, it's just been a rough few months.

Huh.
Which raises questions-
Were they actually "negligent xenocide"- level negligent-
Or was there intentional tampering/a case of mutually compounding errors/damage Swiss-cheesing their safety systems…
*coughs* sorry-
One of my writer friends has been bouncing ideas off me for feedback again, I think I'm mentally stuck in analysis mode xD
