Quote:It looks like a reasonable length for this as an important exploration of the character, and I don't spot any logical holes in it - I'll leave aside commentary on the conclusion reached, since it's the character reporting on the result of her (this is the "insert in a Rei clone fic, right?) own thought process on the subject, rather than a discussion per se.
It's not - it's the shameless ripoff of it
. I'm not even sure about the conclusion reached myself, but something about it feels like the start of a road paved with good intentions. The world and its mother are bound to have differing opinions on it, and not all of them with wholesome themselves. Quote: I like the feel of it, and it is an issue that needs to be raised. A bit melodramatic, but then it's half philosophy, half nukes (which are already srs bsns). It comes by the drama honestly.
It helps breed melodrama when someone's half buying in to the propaganda. The one thing I want to avoid is the 'How many megatons today' flippancy that Spacebattles tends to breed, while striking a different more Godzilla-like tone compared to the other Eva fic that used nuclear weapons against Angels. Or, for that matter, without getting too heavily mired down in it.
And that's not how they make their feelings known in the story. It's just how I've got them noted down for my own benefit while writing them. Asuka will be more snappy about it, for a start. While Shinji will be more vague in the 'I thought we were supposed to be helping people" sense, and Kaworu's response is specifically to set some things up for later on....
