thousandtables prompts

EDITED: to fix botched user name in subject line >.<

I know, "another prompt comm??": I'm still waiting for fanfic100 to get back to me. In the meantime:

Ho boy, proof that I'm obsessed....

I just bought the last five volumes of Neon Genesis Evangelion: Angelic Days. Yeah, the manga set in what Carl Horn called "the doujin universe", ie. that little segment of Episode 26. I know, I know, it's somewhat derided by hardcore fans (the "Lutherans" of the fandom, it would seem, to riff from the "Christianity as fandom" animated icon). But for what it is, it's just *cute* and that's what it was intended to be. I have to admit to liking the doujin universe: God knows Shinji could stand to have some semblance of normalcy to balance out the weight that life has tossed onto his skinny little shoulders (And yep, I am a proud Shinji Ikari fan: anyone who calls the poor kid "emo" should try carrying the weight of woes that *he's* got. Seeing your mother disappear during a lab experiment when you were only three, being emotionally abandoned by your father and getting packed off to live with a succession of estranged relatives and teachers, then being goaded by him into piloting a 40 to 200 meter tall cyborg robot that is linked to your mind, *AND* being expected to fight weird looking giant creatures is not going to make you a happy camper. To say nothing of having to share living space with a girl who's so self-centered and aggressive she borders on being a psychotic narcissist. No wonder the kid is screwed up emotionally).

Also trying to come up with a good first name for the Nephillim who's one of the main characters in Part III of "Neon Enoch Evangelion", which is now set about fifteen years post-End of Evangelion. I know his personality very well (and he occasionally likes to peek into my head to see what I'm doing: I told myself I wasn't going to let any Eva-verse characters visit my headspace, especially if they were post-Third Impact, but I guess I can make an exception since he was born after 3I): he's cheerful, friendly, a bit mischievous, a bit of a geek, hyperactive and a definite big eater, which causes his father to quote the line in the Book of Enoch about the Nephillim consuming the plants and the animals, or make references to a Dirac Sea.

31_days fic: Haiku-like fic

This one is rather short compared to some of the others I've written, but I love the exchange and the imagery in it.

Series: Neon Genesis Evangelion
Character/Pairing: Kozou Fuyutsuki/OFC
Rating: PG

Author's Note: An almost haiku-like selection for the second part of "Neon Enoch Evangelion", aka the ambitious NGE project this time, but that's fitting since the prompts this month are selected from haiku (and also because there's often something poetic in the lines of a certain wintry gent, or at least that's how his lines came out in the dub. Could also have something to do with Michael Ross's delivery in the movies...). Not quite sure where this fits into the chronology, but it was too good a piece to keep inside my head.

And yes, I managed to find a way to work in one of the Eva Geeks' codewords...
