I have to get it out. It's been like 9 months since my binge rewatch of Neon Genesis Evangelion. I'm not going to say that transitioning would've 100% saved Shinji, but it would kill Gendo instantly.
Just, the thought of that dense motherfucker being confronted by the fact that his own son, testament to all of his imperfections, would suddenly start to resemble his wife-- which he cannot handle outside of Rei-- would make him tweak into oblivion and I think that's very funny. just.

Shinji: Father, I-
Asuka: Just say it!
Shinji: Father, I'm a girl.. I'd like to start hrt immediately.
Gendo:
i hate following the evangelion tag because 10% of it is people just making normal content, 30% is people making sexual cosplays of the minors in the series and the other 60% is just porn bots using random tags to get reach😭

Yeah this was kind of an excuse to study Evangelion frames but I do need the practice! There’s a few other things that veered off the mark in terms of proportions from the original; I’ll have to be more careful.
