kaworu are u okay
So for kawoshin day i finished a thing.
haha my storytelling skills are rough at best PLS FORGIVE. also sorry i am so pathetically inconsistent. ye
Let’s talk about this scene a bit.
Maybe I’m reaching, but do you ever think Kaworu was surprised by the suggestion and Shinji’s interest in the stars because they’re so commonplace to him, simply a home to him? After all, he is an Angel, a child not of this Earth but of the greater universe. To Kaworu, asking to watch the stars might be like someone asking to watch your house from the lawn.
Up until now he’s been interested almost exclusively in Lilin (human) culture because he isn’t quite one of them, so hearing Shinji express interest in something of Kaworu’s, so to speak, initially takes him slightly aback. He has a sort of Shinji-esque why-would-anyone-be-interested-in-me moment, but once he hears Shinji describe how much gazing at the stars calms him down, he’s filled with a pleasure never felt before.
Shinji is inadvertently talking about him.
And in that moment he realizes Shinji is the key to his humanity, to bring him down to Earth.
#LOOK AT HIS CUTE SHOCKED FACE IN THE SECOND IMAGE, #AND THEN AFTER THIS HE SAYS I REALLY WAS BORN TO MEET YOU, #UGH THIS IS IT, #THIS IS THE MOMENT IN THIS TIMELINE THAT REMINDS KAWORU HOW MUCH HE CARES AND LOVES THIS BOY.
I’ve been waiting all day for someone else to say it. I’m so proud (◡‿◡✿)
wow i caught the pairs ice dance on tv, shinji and kaworu are killing it
(p.s. - please don’t make yuzuru hanyu as shinji jokes pls, i just thought shinji and kaworu would make a formidable synchronized ice skating couple lmao)
(HIGH RES)
i can’t even believe i boarded 40 or so panels of kawoshin hahaha laughs weakly
i read over the episode 24 drafts and i had to board this one scene… there’s a bunch of mistakes but this was really satisfying practise
kaworu + shinji
You know…
When Kaworu says “I might have been born to meet you” in the tv series he has this smile on his face that seems just amazed and fascinated.
Because Kaworu and Shinji are very much in puppy love here. Kaworu is looking at him like this because he’s absolutely infatuated and has a lot about left that he wants to discover about Shinji and his glass heart. It’s a straightforward gesture in terms of its contextual meaning and purpose.
But compare that to when Rebuild Kaworu says “I really was born to meet you”:
This one needs a gif to get the point across because it’s all about Kaworu’s body language, wheras in the previous incarnation he was lying still. He way he looks at Shinji and smiles is more subtle and softly admirative, and he seems relaxed and comfortable yet still excited. But it’s mostly the way his eyes are somewhat narrowed and downturned initially, but he looks up and into Shinji’s eyes after he speaks, that gives the impression that he’s thinking the opposite about Shinji this time around. He doesn’t convey that sense of experiencing something big and new and intense – he knows Shinji completely, and he cherishes him because he’s reminded of that familiarity; that Shinji is still the boy he fell in love with then. It’s not simple infatuation here, everything about the way he carries himself perfectly gives the impression of someone who was willing to wait years to be with the person they love.
Basically what I was thinking is this…
When tv series Kaworu says “I might have been born to meet you”, it’s as if he’s saying “you captivate me, I want to know everything about you”. When Rebuild Kaworu says “I really was born to meet you”, it’s as if he’s saying “I missed you so much”.
