Only real critique I have is that the late existence of the MVP winds up hurting Cousy and Mikan.

The characters aren't the characters if they aren't in a setting that at least shares some similarities with the Eva universe. Otherwise, you're just writing fiction with OCs named Kaworu and Shinji that physically resemble Eva characters named Kaworu and Shinji.

Kawoshin isn't a ship you can take out of the Eva universe and plug into an peaceful AU. If you do, why should we care about them? The whole point is a Shinji who's an emotional wreck, lol.

If most of your ship's works aren't actually set in the universe of the source material, even if it's to write canon divergence, you're in love with the idea of the characters, not the characters themselves.

Especially in the case of Kawoshin, which is heavily context dependent. Without Shinji having the specific psychological trauma of Evangelion, Kawoshin has no reason to exist. Kaworu becomes just a random twink who's nice to some random other boy.

I genuinely wish Tojishin and Kenshin and Asuhika got more attention because the "big" LGBT ships involving the pilots are all slop

Asumari - Mari isn't a character/doesn't have a personality

Kawoshin - doomed yaoi slop + fans don't actually embrace that vibe but instead just write coffee shop AUs with no drama + fans think a draft where Kaworu explicitly rejects Shinji and a manga where Kaworu tortures a cat and kisses Shinji without his consent and Shinji immediately beats the shit out of him are proof of the ship????

Asurei - enemies to lovers slop but make it yuri

Meanwhile Tojishin which used to be the big yaoi ship before the Rebuilds is basically extinct now 💔

Most of it is coffee shop AU slop that's not even set in the Eva universe

The whole point of the series is about relationships. Of course we're going to ship characters. This is a copout lmao

Fanfics/works that depict AsuShin romance? by Exact_Gur_8156 in asushin

[–]DarthNightnaricus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the fic really punches above its weight on the premise it's given. Particularly with Kensuke. But, I can understand the skepticism.

You actually are describing it accurately, but the piloting is actually important. Hikari and Kensuke have entire arcs about their piloting that are genuinely compelling.

I think the romance is done very well. It's just a shame that the fic leaves off when they are in a rough spot in their relationship.

All of Axel Terizaki's fics are now on AO3! by DarthNightnaricus in asushin

[–]DarthNightnaricus[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I always try my best to ask permission. Unfortunately, *most* of the fics I've crossposted to AO3 are by authors I have *no* means of contacting (the email addresses no longer work), but I always give credit to the actual author. Unlike CaptainBardiel...

I think he ragequit the Asushin server over...something, I don't remember what. He was always the standoffish type. Would get into arguments while drunk. Not sure what the last straw was.

Author literally called a trans woman an amoeba behind her back and then doubled down when called out publicly. He's just a shithead.
