Gaaaaay

Heya, I wanted to leave a breadcrumb trail for anyone else who liked the story. Part 15 was published in 2021 on spacebattles by Dartz under “So... A Self Insert. An Evangelion Self Insert.” the author’s also redone the first 5 chapters with minor touch-ups in another thread linked from there. It seems to be in another hiatus while the author deals with the crushing reality of life, but they might add more later.

Awe

That hers

Just found d this gem

Honestly probably my favorite eva fanfic yet. To bad it seems its abandoned but I kinda like that it ends with them in such a good place mentally.

I quite like this and enjoy it, man kinda hoping for a conclusion to the story.
But this is probably my favourite Eva fanfic, the others are well… … something you can see coming, this one is interesting.

why does every oc for this fanfiction have to be such a coward at all times. And the fact that everytime something major happens you have her act all scared and shit.

Dang, MC is submissive. I knew it in earlier chapters when they relented to let others dictate what clothes they wear but here it really shows. She doesn't care that Shinji could have seen her naked initially and then Asuka blows up at her and gaslights Noriko, and MC just accepts it's all her own fault...somehow. Her Japanese mind (Noriko's) definitely set in more than she thought.

In that last bit of self-reflection, it reminded me of an analysis done by gargulec on SV of “aesthetics” by contrapoints. I think the part that applies here is that a position that was taken is that an action is feminine because the person who performs it is a women. Not because society says so. This was in critique of the position that womanhood is performative that it is something that society can take away from you if you don’t meet their expectations.

I don’t know. I just kinda felt like that last section tapped into this same wibbly-wobbly idea space.

Ah, yes, Nerv. I’d like to report a data leak at the local high school. Somehow people figured out the AT fields.

I can barely imagine how awkwardly this would have turned out if Nagato had called it in.

Is the eSOS brigade like some sort of mental wakeup call that this is all a mental break the SI has had? It seems unlikely, but in the context of a girl lashing around for anchors after a tragic event. It’s oddly poignant and sad.

It feels like there was a translation error in there.

This dude predicting the 2020 Olympic Games

The plot has become slightly incoherent in the later chapters. Maybe rewrite it? Also, please don't do that skipping back and forth in time thing, it doesn't add anything and takes away from readability.
Also, whatever happened to "Haruhi" and her club? Why hasn't Noriko just told Kensuke that she doesn't have a clue how he could become a pilot, or maybe even asked around NERV? Otherwise, the story so far is good, just minus the immersion-killingly funny Irish slang. Though to be fair, the phonetic Japanese accent is every bit as hilarious but since it sounds 'strayan it's in a good way.
NORIKO WAKAMOTO: Have you even kissed Rei yet? I thought not. So then, your first kiss wasn't Rei! It was me, Noriko!
(I know referencing Jojo is normally a twitternigger thing but fuck it, it was funny. )
