Aliens are the least of our worries right now but listen to me. Aliens don’t want to hurt us but the government is gonna convince us they do and incite worldwide panic and start a real space war to avoid advancing technology for the general population because efficient non oil based energy that the aliens have will crush the capitalist industries that need it to thrive welcome to my ted talk
this post so confidently and sincerely made it’s point that i had to stop myself checking the news to find out if first contact had happened this morning

Ok y'all but like I’m not even kidding about this I read this post yesterday and today I got an email from the peeps at hamilton and I won the lotto gor $10 tickets and I would like to give all my thanks to the internet’s favorite fish, Goldie Gurston, for making this possible because I totally believe they did this with their amazing gay powers
So I know this is likely a coincidence…but I reblogged this and just now discovered I’ve been given a $150 amazon gift card as a bonus at work. So thank you, fish!
I wonder what kind of symbolism they’re trying to get at
“There are a lot of giant robot shows in Japan, and we did want our story to have a religious theme to help distinguish us. Because Christianity is an uncommon religion in Japan we thought it would be mysterious. None of the staff who worked on Eva are Christians. There is no actual Christian meaning to the show, we just thought the visual symbols of Christianity look cool. If we had known the show would get distributed in the US and Europe we might have rethought that choice.” -Kazuya Tsurumaki, assistant director/art director on Neon Genesis Evangelion
The secret ending is jam packed with tons of symbolism. Another detail to look out for is the stoplights-
green
(or in Japan, called blue lights)
for Riku, red for Sora (Remember, the name of the clip is “Yozora”, who has a blue eye and a red eye…). In the first shot you see a green light
on Riku’s side:
When Riku wakes up, he gasps and turns around quickly like he senses
something. The camera only shows a red stoplight, but this is Sora’s
color. Riku might be sensing Sora.
Sora has the same reaction, but you can only see the reflection
of the green/blue light on the car (having trouble seeing/recognizing Riku’s light maybe, if the theme continues from KH3 with Sora not realizing the light is Riku yet)
It’s very deliberate: All of the stoplights in the background on Sora’s
side are green, and all the stoplights on Riku’s side are red.
Green:
Red:
It’s
like Sora says in DDD: “Don’t worry, he’s with me! Even when it might
seem like he’s not.” So close, but just out of reach.
Friendly reminder that Donald and Goofy teasing Sora about a certain
crush is completely absent from kh3, distinctly in places where it would
have been the perfect opportunity to do so, yet they do tease him about
Riku…
