I'd love to write something for femslashgelion, really, but if it's taken me almost five months to write a 2,500-word yukamitsu oneshot, I just don't think that's happening right now.
so here's more eva band AU shots from rock band 3 instead. hopefully that'll suffice.
good news, got even more eva band AU brainrot for you on this Good Ol' 9-11. that shot of shinji up top might legitimately be the sickest I've ever gotten in RB3.
by the way, did I ever actually mention their band name before? I still go back and forth on it a bit, but at this point I'm pretty dead-set on them going by The Coma Theory - the origin of which I'm sure you'll pick up on if you can recall those halcyon days of 2011-era Childhood Ruined slop. even made a logo for 'em and imported it into RB3 so it'd show up on toji's bass drum, check it out.
this is a bit random but one thing I love about the genshin community is how when wanderer came out, everybody collectively banded together to come up with beautiful names to give him. And they didn’t just choose the first thing they saw on google either, no, these people put thought and research into these names. It’s so ironic that this guy who’s so convinced that people only ‘like’ him for his utility, or see him as some sort of weapon for their own benefit, actually has thousands of people who love and adore him universes away.
some honorable mentions of names I’ve seen:
-Icarus (son of Daedalus in greek mythology who created the labyrinth to hold the minotaur. I don’t actually remember why they gave him this name, or the real meaning behind it, but I still like it)
-Kunimitsu (light of the world, contrast to his previous name kunikuzushi, roughly meaning conquerer or destroyer of nations)
-Shinji (Evangelion reference, I believe? If you haven’t seen the show, I won’t spoil, but there are so many connections and similarities between Shinji and Wanderer. Abandonded by creator/parent who they seek(ed) validation from but will likely never get it, taken in by someone named Katsuragi, etc.)
-Zuko (my own personal addition) another character (Avatar: The last airbender if you don’t know) that shares so many similarities with him. Very conflicted individuals who were shown from the beginning that things were going to be extra unfair and hard for them. Both have parental/creator figures that for a while they sought to please until they discovered their own paths and what they actually wanted, as well as siblings they despise and envy because they hold the position they so desperately wanted. (that is, if you consider the shogun puppet a sort of sister to wanderer/scaramouche)
-Fujin (Japanese mythological god of wind who appears next to Raijin, the god of thunder)
that’s all i got off of the top of my head, but i’d love to hear what names everyone else gave to/came up with for wanderer if you have any!
