I Know That Interview With A Vampire, What We Do In The Shadows, And Our Flag Means Death Are All Huge

wtf just realized that this episode is turning 10 YEARS old next year??!?!?!

i really want to go on a bender with whoever wrote that scene in Su-zakana

sigh

I don't think that Evangelion works as a series if you don't interpret Kaworu's feelings towards Shinji as love, and as the kind of love that humans share between each other, and Shinji not returning that love.

Kaworu teaches Shinji something very important: that being close to other people hurts you, but it's worth it. Kaworu showed Shinji unconditional love. He was interested in him, invested in him, liked him. Even though Shinji had killed so much of Angel kind. Kaworu loved him at the very end, even when he knew that Shinji had to kill him. Kaworu comforted Shinji even when he was at his mercy, moments from death. For some reason, Kaworu felt that showing Shinji love was important.

Shinji has been used, and hurt by the people around him. By his father, by Asuka, by Misato, even by Rei. But he learned, vitally, from Kaworu, that this doesn't make someone unworthy of love. That it doesn't mean he should give up on humanity, or on himself.

Harry: *fishes a pair of pants out of the trash*

His internal monologue: oh you're putting on the Normal Pants? Huh? The pants that make you normal? You like the Normal Pants, normal boy? You bourgeoisie liberal? You Fucking Moralist in your Normal Pants you normal pants wearing pants wearer!

Kim: i trust this man to solve a murder so completely

okay, i just caught up, and may i just say

i never thought i'd hear a more fucked up answer to a love declaration's than fleabag's 'it'll pass', but 'i forgive you' is up there alright

I love Hideo Kojima he makes multiple games where characters give long winded monologues (that he personally wrote) about how US entertainment media is designed to manufacture consent for the military, and then he'll spend 3 days gushing about Top Gun
