#my cousin who has a shinji tattoo got mad at me for it LMFAO

I just got the idea for mech pilot au MHA. I was watching Neon Genesis Evangelion and thought of it. Like, young hotheaded pilot bakugo who is skilled in taking down monsters but makes bad mistakes because of his fiery temper. Todoroki is a legacy type of pilot, his dad was one of the best before he retired to head the mech pilot program. Deku is another bright hopeful pilot who has been trained under All Might himself. Maybe readers a pilot who gets teamed up with one of them, idk. I just thought it would be a cool idea — 🚪 anon

I need to re-watch and finally finish NGE bc the first time round I don't think I was ready for it tbh !!!

But yes, I can totally see this, and it's almost leaning into kind of a... Pacific Rim moment, too. Are you imagining it in universe? Because part of me is just imagining the mech operations aspects, and the other part wants to go full in with angst LOOOL.

Like being assigned to live in the same dorm/apartment complex as the boys, being told you need to choose who you want to team up with. Bakugo being one of the strongest but also the most risky destructive, Deku still not fully in sync with AM's Eva, and Todoroki maybe not... agreeing with his father's leadership?

I'm not sure, but I'm just thinking about those first couple episodes when the awkwardness between Shinji and Misato is sort of palpable... you're supposed to live alongside all these random dudes? Cook with them? FIGHT with them???

And god forbid you start to actually... feel things for them and then one of them gets hurt or worse. Or Endeavor doesn't allow relationships outside of ... business. It would be painful!!!
