#like ok yes without a doubt Maya has a crush on Ritusko absolutely this is backed up by canon material

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
