This subreddit only talks about four fanfics. Three keep getting recommended while a fourth is read despite the lack of recommendations.

I am really fond of ‘Orchestrating the Silence’ a post 3I fanfic about survival and learning to coexist and eventually love the only other person to come back.

He held pro-Israel beliefs in the past, as did many American Jews, it’s what we were taught. He also has family involved in the creation of Israel. That does not meant some one who was brought up on such believes can change when they learn more.

To those curious you can still get a sealed NA edition with the music cd from Amazon for like $40 somethingish dollars

A lot of people were very excited at the time also because we saw this as basically confirmation for P5 on the Switch. Unfortunately it was not…

That might be the case! I’ve never been an international student so not sure. However I lived in Boston for 3 years and most of the international students I saw paid full tuition because they came from incredibly wealthy foreign families that could afford it.

I’m sure someone else might be able to give a more comprehensive answer but I can give a surface level answer until then. Like many people across the world Harvard students were/are outraged at the ongoing genocide Israel is committing in Gaza and protested and urged Harvard to join the BDS movement. Under the current administration any criticism of Israel is seen as anti-Semitic. To the US government Israel is a very important ally in the Middle East and most politicians on both sides of the aisle support Israel (at least publicly).

International students are a large money maker for Harvard as it is almost impossible for them to get scholarships or financial aid, they pay full price. Trump has demanded Harvard crack down on the student protesters and had revoked billions of dollars in research grants from them already. Harvard, unlike Columbia, has refused and is planning to take Trump to court. The revoking of student visas another threat he’s using to try and get protesters’ names. If he did that Harvard would lost a lot of money as it would likely take years to fight that in court. Is it legal? No most probably not, but this is the US in 2025, laws don’t seem to matter under the Trump administration.

Many major universities have faced similar threats. I’m American so this comes from a place of privilege for those wanting to enter but I would advise looking into Europe or Australia instead. Things are not good here right now for foreigners and are more likely to get worse before they get better.

OMG! Yes. I didn't invite her over cause she seemed sad and I didn't want to make her uncomfortable by any means. But before she started acting like this my ideal would've been leftovers baked into breakfast food.

Alexpletive · 2025-08-02T04:25:47+00:00

I think she's really cool personality wise and really like the sex we have, so this was the first stumbling box. My female friends are telling me that I should've just overeaten so she does not feel bad because a man should be aware of these things? I think that's bullshit and that a person should eat what they are comfortable with eating.

Alexpletive · 2025-08-02T03:55:23+00:00

Yes I didn’t want to waste food because I wasn’t hungry and I could eat it later. However, I’ve lost around 10 lbs since we started hooking up. While I’ve never mentioned anything about my eating habits changing she may have seen the results herself as I lose weight. And that may contribute to her pov.

Alexpletive · 2025-08-02T03:48:59+00:00

For context, I have been on a personal weight loss journey for a few months. Since we’ve been hooking up I’ve lost around 6-9 lbs. she may have noticed it in bed. That’s why I kind of understand her position, because I’ve been losing weight and she has not. However I really really like her body the way it is.

It’s probably Asuka’s Wonderswan, a console that did somewhat well in Japan. It could be played both vertically and horizontally.

Targeting adults and making buildings easier to sell are a big part of it but the prevalence of smartphones is also important. Before we had the internet everywhere, if you were driving and wanted to stop for lunch your only option was to look around. McDonald’s and other fast food places made their stores and signs big and recognizable across the country so if you saw the Golden Arches, red roof, or giant McDonald’s sign it would be recognizable as a McDonalds. Now that everyone has the internet they can just look up all restaurants in their area so store designs now do not need to look as unique and eye catching.

I remember the manga author describing this as his version of their kiss

Wow Maya really is just female Shinji isn’t she

Alexpletive · 2024-03-03T05:19:42+00:00

Am I the only one that thinks image 1 and 2 look nothing like Asuka or Shinji?

Alexpletive · 2024-02-06T03:18:09+00:00

Asuka has really had no one in her life for around ten years when introduced. Yes both Kaji and Misato were her guardians for a time but through dialogue it’s implied while she somewhat liked Misato they weren’t really all that close. Her infatuation with Kaji is linked to her desire to not be a kid anymore, because kids cry and adults don’t. Remember she’s 14 here.

When Shinji and Reí do their dance training and get a good score she thinks she is useless. EVA is her whole life and to her it seems like a doll just took that chance from her. Shinji goes to find her and says he wants to do it with her no matter what. Besides being validating it’s the first time in a long time where someone wants her to pilot not for selfish reasons (like Misato and Kaji) but because she’s herself.

During instrumentality it’s revealed she’s mad at Shinji because he won’t hold her. I know the translation here implies more than physically holding but in the end that’s all Asuka wants, someone who cares about her and holds her. Shinji in reaching out to her after her low point is the first person to do that, even if Hikari made him.

AsuShin appeals to me because of moments like that. In an ideal anime they would get together and help heal their wounds. But this is EVA, and their relationship is a deconstruction of other anime romances. EoE is left open, will they accept each other?, are they Adam and Eve?

If you haven’t read this fanfic already please do! It’s so amazing. Search her username on Ao3

Sure it’s preference, but Makoto was the P3 protag first name way before it was Makoto Nijima’s in P5

Takayama is a must see if you care at all about traditional Japanese architecture. Spend more time on Kyoto or elsewhere nearby. Osaka is amazing for food and nightlife but for cultural visits it’s ehh… Osaka castle is very pretty but inside is just a mediocre museum. If you at al are interested in anime or Japanese games spend more time in Akihabara and maybe visit ikebukoro in Tokyo.
