I did not expect to find an essay on Itch.io, let alone one as good as this. But, then again, Evangelion does have tendency to take me to unexpected places. This was an incredibly interesting and enlightening read. Thanks for posting it here.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I wrote this in the throws of pretty bad mental health and have no idea if it holds up, a lot was going on in my life, so that was really nice for me to hear.
