I /really/ love Evangelion’s user interfaces. The problem I have with most modern science fiction UIs is that they’re way too polished for no reason. Stuff like mining rigs, or military vehicles- they all have this over-nice reactive UI that bounces and squiggles whenever characters touch them. Who would program any of this shit? Not only that, but there’s a lot of bullshit shapes that show no meaningful information to the user.
This is why I love the computer/set design of Evangelion (and also stuff like Alien). They look and feel beat up. Used. Real. When I look at Evangelion’s UI, I’m reminded of oscilloscopes and other things real engineers use. Sure there’s a lot of noise on the screen, but all of it feels like it could MEAN something to someone in-universe.
raskolnikov and sonya are so fascinating to me. He hates that his love for her stems from his self loathing, he thinks she’s the only one who could ever love him. On the other hand she loves him because she feels heavily indebted to him and seeks to cling to what little life she has left. Idek how to explain in better words what they have it’s just so REAL.. Not even in a romantic sense, this is true platonic love, two people who complete their miserableness
