Also I actually find Delicious in Dungeon's treatment of resurrection interesting. Reviving a person requires meat and blood, so it's as if following the principle that life derives from life, or rather death, except that it actually requires lots of meat so lots of life.
Something I actually keep thinking about lately is the notion of mystically "dying to yourself" as a way of approaching the very principle of life derives from life, in the sense that the "dying" produces a new existence. Thus is the mystery of descent, and of death and rebirth.

Two years, near-about 36 episodes later, an entire season waiting for a smidgen of content, going through the emotional rollercoaster of this whole plotline just to see Icicle Jr’s handsome face for approximately three seconds just to see him attend his frienemy’s wedding, shush a noisy guy complaining about his own lack of awareness, and shed a tear for the happy occasion within the last five minutes of the season finale.
Worth it.

“Do you know why your father sprinkles the flax with water when it is laid out in the pit?"
“He hasn't told me. Surely it is to clean it?”
“Don't you know that in order to make it pure all that can rot in it must rot? That in order to make a durable thread one has to first destroy what otherwise might be corrupted. Of course, one must save the fibers at the right moment, and afterwards one trusts the Sun to burn away what is impure.”
“And then it becomes white?”
“Not yet; first it is broken and long threads are drawn; and these threads are watered again so that they must rot a little more. In this way everything that is corruptible in them is consumed; and of the purified flax are made those fine linen tissues.”
“But how can it become so fine after having been spoiled?”
“Nothing has been spoiled in it that was pure; but nothing can be reborn without having undergone the test of having everything corruptible destroyed.”

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Death and Rebirth
This one's gonna be pretty quick, but I wanted to get it out of the way before I tackled End of Evangelion.
All right, so the Neon Genesis Evangelion TV series (1995-1996) was a success, and there was also a strong fan demand for a different ending. I'm pretty sure fans thought the original ending in Episodes 25 and 26 was an incoherent mess, but maybe they were more supportive about it. Anyway, those two factors led to the release of the first NGE movie, Death and Rebirth, in March 1997.
The movie is actually two smaller movies and both of them are kind of bullshit. The first half, Death, is just a trumped up clip show, which is pretty rich considering how much footage they already recycled making Episodes 14, 25, and 26. The second half, Rebirth is actually all-new material that serves as an alternate ending, but only the first 25 minutes' worth of that ending. This 25 minute segment ends on a cliffhanger, and it would air again, along with the conclusion, in End of Evangelion, released in July 1997.
So really, Death and Rebirth was just an extended preview of End of Evangelion. A fan would have gone to the theater for D&R in March, and gotten a recap of the TV series, followed by the opening third of EoE. That would presumably whet the fans' appetite to come back in four months to see EoE in its entirety.
So in 1997, this was probably a cool idea. By that time, NGE had been off the air for about a full year, and fans might have appreciated a highlight reel of all the big moments from the series before diving into the next thing. And seeing 25 minutes of a new episode doesn't sound like such a bad deal either.
But, it's 2024, and from my vantage this just comes across like a cheap stunt. It looks a lot like End of Evangelion was the movie they wanted to make all along, but they couldn't get it finished in time, so they slapped together what they had and padded it out with old clips. Then they released End of Evangelion as they had originally intended, but this way they got their fans to pay twice for that same 25 minutes of footage.
Any way you slice it, there's not much of value in Death and Rebirth. The first portion is just clips from the TV series, and the second portion is just the first portion of End of Evangelion. What does that leave?
Well, a little. I think this "found footage" clip from Misato's dad's lab is new? I could be wrong. There's not much to it. You hear people talking about stuff and then everyone gets upset because Adam is awakening or something, and then Second Impact happens.
There's also a bit with Kaji and Asuka talking while they're en route to Japan. Kaji tells her that one of the other Eva pilots is a boy, but she doesn't care about boys her own age, all she wants is Kaji.
There's a framing sequence where the Eva pilots each show up to the empty theater from Episodes 25 and 26, and they prepare to play classical music. Shinji's on cello, and I can barely tell what the others are even doing. It's all meaningless filler disguised as some sort of powerful, meaningful thing.
I think this is new footage of Unit 00 removing the Lance of Longinus from Adam Lilith's body. When the lance comes out, the bottom half of Lilith expands and grows into a pair of humanoid legs, as opposed to the bulbous mass of many teeny legs.
Maybe this was in the TV episode, but I feel like I would have remembered seeing this before.
Also new, maybe? This scene of Clownshoes talking to Yui Ikari and baby Shinji. He isn't keen on SEELE and their predicted scenario of Third Impact happening in the next ten years. Yui's a member of SEELE, and she assures him that they're just trying to ensure that Third Impact happens in a way that humanity will survive and be prepared for. Clownshoes also says that he basically got an offer he can't refuse from SEELE, which is why he's reluctantly helping them. And mybe this was in Episode 21, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't because I remember wondering when and how Clownshoes joined up and being irritated that a scene like this didn't exist to spell it out.
Oh, here's that suitcase with the embryonic Angel in it, remember that? Gendo called it "Adam" when Kaji delivered it, and I didn't understand this. Then they called the big white angel on the cross "Adam", except it turned out to be Lilith. Well, what they did was they shrank Adam down into embryo form so he'd be easier to move around. This also had the benefit of keeping him hidden when the other Angels attacked NERV in search of him. We found out Lilith was kept on the cross as sort of a decoy, but where was the real Adam, then?
Uh, in this guy's hand? I guess? They never show whose hand this is, but it just occurred to me that Gendo always wears gloves, and there were a couple of battles in the TV show where things were looking pretty dicey and he got up to leave his command post. Maybe he was trying to keep Adam away from the intruding Angel during those moments.
We also get a clip of Kaji greeting whoever shot him, but instead of the gunshot we hear a slap, and then Shinji telling Asuka that Kaji is gone. She refuses to believe it.
After that, things pretty much wrap up with the final battle against the 17th Angel. That segment is basically a quick rundown of Episode 24, but the stuff before that is a jumbled collage. I think they tried to organize it thematically. A bunch of Shinji stuff, then Asuka moments, then Rei moments, and so on. When I first learned about this movie, I assumed the Death portion was like an abridged treatment of the TV show, but it really isn't. This would be a terrible way to introduce a new viewer to the franchise. All the big important story beats are included, but in a jumbled order, often with no context. It's designed for a fan to watch and go "Yeah, I remember when that happened."
Anyway, the kids wrap up their music practice and exit the stage. Whatever.
Then there's an intermission clock before the Rebirth feature starts. Cute. I made sure to take a screenshot of the clock on 4:20, because that's the weed number. Ha ha, can you imagine what it would be like if everyone in Evangelion was high? On weed? The NERV logo would be green, and instead of a maple leaf it would be a marajuana leaf, because that's the weed plant! And when they get in their entry plug, they would be full of bongwater, and it would be green from all the weed molecules in it. Instead of LCL fluid, they would call it "THC fluid", amirite? Also Shinji and Asuka would be a lot less upset all the time.
After that, Rebirth starts, but I'm not going to get into that here. We'll save it all for End of Evangelion, since the whole thing is supposed to be there. It might take me a little longer to write that up, but I'm sure it'll be ready this weekend. Doncha dare miss it!

Blessed rain like stardust that seeds the ground,
A millon stars like flowers shine,

Lying on my side knowing of thirst is how I'll die
Chalk on my tongue
Lying on the night beneath the dunes
is where I lie to block the sun
Trying to ignite some sort of passion from inside
to overcome
This feeling of desertion can't be worse than never having anyone...
A lion on his side
was it the lying or his pride which brought him down?
Once the king of beasts
but now they feast on thoughts beneath his vacant crown...
So I'll ask one thing
Just one thing of you
Don't ever turn me loose
Even when I turn my back
-Sahara by Relient K
This one wandered away from the inspiration source and took on a life of its own, but I still think it tracks. I wanted to finish this in time for the new year but I'm a few days over. Consider this piece a celebration of new life born from the things that die, whether those things be literal or figurative.
Happy New Year~

Reality // Unreality
@dreblrspookyweek :D
found also on ao3
---
Dream once had a dream.
A simple dream, where he was with his friends. There would be the verdant, green grass who sprawled over the fields and valleys, the rich forests where sunlight shimmered across the branches, and the clear sky, that was so expansive and deep and clear, that would swallow his sight when he looked up.
There would be laughter as they laid like starfish across the ground; there would be linking hands and chatter and wide smiles across their faces, as wide as the skies above them. There would be peaceful times, and there would be chaotic times-
But most importantly, there would not be any times when someone would die.
There wasn’t supposed to be death-
There also wasn’t supposed to be a time when people screamed and cried, when people abandoned their friends, when people cursed each other to the ends of limbo.
But then there was.
Brrrang.
Dream stared at the boy- now man- who had started it all.
Okay, well, not all of it. Part of it was his fault. But most of it, alright?
The boy was scraggly looking. He was still as lanky as when the whole ordeal began, still wearing the same, iconic, white and red shirt and cargo pants, but if only a tad taller, and a tad grimmer.
They were both grimmer: both the man who dreamed, and the child who had unknowingly burned down those dreams.
Both the innocent child and the naive adult- both had become grimmer, burdened by their choices, their past, their sins against each other and the world that wouldn’t let them go.
Dream and Tommy stared at each other, not knowing what to say anymore.
Brrrang.
And the destroyer and the creator stared at each other. Once, they were at odds.
Once they were sworn enemies, once they were great nemesis; once they were hero and villain, once they were antagonist and protagonist-
But now they’re just people.
Now, they were just humans, and they deeply understood each other.
Now, the dreamer who once dreamed realized that they both wanted peace. They both dreamed of peace. Yet one’s dreams of peace became nightmares for the other, and they then no longer knew what they had originally dreamed.
Brrrang.
But now, everything was already over.
The cliff beneath them had already crumbled by the time they finally looked each other in the eye.
The grass had already been trampled, the forests had already been burnt, and the skies had already been clouded over by ash. The laughter had already become wailings, and the peace had already been dissolved by war.
Brrrang.
Blood spilling over planks and crimson pooling over black glass, irreversible deeds have already been done-!
Now, the dreams that they dreamed and pursued disintegrated into the reality of each other. Dreams of family into abuse. Dreams of peace into arson.
Brrrang.
And they, who began to share a new dream-
Brrrang.
Began dreaming too late.
Brrrang.
There was no-
Brrrang.
more time.
Brrrang.
Brrrang.
Brrrang.
–
Dream was dreaming.
Or was it a dream?
The heavens were azure and luminescent, the sun dazzled the ground beneath the trees in wonderful beams, and the meadows were sprinkled with pretty daisies and sweet dandelions.
The ground beneath him was cool on his skin, and he realized he was laid out like a starfish staring at the sweeping skies, where cute puffy cloud-wisps dangled like stretched cotton- and before he knew it, he was giggling.
Then when the dreamer, who may or may not be dreaming, sat up, he saw many other people laid out like starfish, staring at the heavens just as he was. Their figures aroused a feeling of familiarity within Dream, but he didn’t know where that feeling came from.
It was simply that they didn’t seem like strangers, and that they were all good people to be around, both the lanky man in the red and white shirt, and the built one next to him in the bright green…
Then when Dream turned around, he saw a crown laying right above where his head had been when he was laid down, and he had a great urge to put it on.
To the left and right of Dream was a man in a white bandana and another with glasses, and there was also someone who seemed to be split in half white and black, and another who had magnificent silver wings splayed out under him...
And the dreamer smiled, and prayed that this was not a dream.
