#like misato and Ritsuko are individually super well written fleshed our characters and on top of that put in moments like the elevator scene

My biased, really unpopular take is that I think rit/su/maya is an objectively boring ship.
#just to be clear I don’t hate it there’s absolutely nothing wrong with the ship it’s just such a nothing burger to me
#like ok yes without a doubt Maya has a crush on Ritusko absolutely this is backed up by canon material
#but from Ritsukos side the most the viewer comes away with is that Ritsuko holds mayas skills in decently high regard
#a few moments of friendly chit chat and that’s it
#it would be one thing if we actually saw Ritsukos more personal opinions on Maya but we never see that so fandom has to fill in the blanks
#and now barring that all aside it’s just a ship dynamic even when fleshed out in fanon that im not intrigued by
#in a show where the characters are so messy and terrible the ship feels so out of place
#ohhhh Maya could fix Ritsuko NO she could not
#the only way I could find the ship interesting is if you get weird with it
#like focus on the inherent power imbalance of a boss and an employee how would they deal with that?
#how would things change as the show progresses and Maya realizes Rituskos blurred morals
#how would the ship work with Gendo in the picture? how would Maya actually help ritusko overcome her issues and deep rooted problems
#and even with all that being said it’s just not interesting to me
#Maya doesn’t have enough going as a character for me to care to ship her with Ritsuko
#this is partly why I like misaritsu so much
#you know so much about their individual characters and their dynamics that it’s easy to expand it further into hypothesizing
#their relationship in a romantic light
#evangelion
#like misato and Ritsuko are individually super well written fleshed our characters and on top of that put in moments like the elevator scene
#or Ritsukos flashback to talking about when Misato hooked up with Kaji for a week
#or just every time Ritsuko looks at Misato if you really want to reach
#there so many moments of good characterization between them that it’s so easy to ship them
#the point I’ll give to ritsu/Maya is that the one sided crush is 100% intentional and implied in canon
#Misato and Ritsukos relationship (as far as I’m aware) was never intended to be romantic or queer coded or anything like that
#i’m not delusional
#I don’t think anno or sadamoto was writing subtextual nuclear toxic yuri when they were thinking about Misato and ritsukos relationship
#no one was in the writing room saying “oh boy I can’t wait to write subtext about how comphet Ritsuko is in unrequited love with Misato”
#I’m not that far gone but purely from a potential ship perspective misaritsu has so much more going for it
#asu/rei too that’s another super interesting f/f ship that people ignore
#asurei isn’t my do or die ship but that’s a ship that’s genuinely super interesting to think about as a potential romantic relationship
