Why I Believe John Lennon is Asuka Langley

Hello everyone! I originally created a thread about this over on Twitter, though I also want to post it here just because. I want to preface this by saying while this is mostly a joke, I still want to point out the similarities between the two. I find that both John and Asuka are very complex people/characters that happen to heavily relate to each other. Obvious spoilers for Neon Genesis Evangelion. TW FOR TOPICS SUCH AS SUICIDE AND DEATH.

CHILDHOOD TRAUMA

Both John and Asuka lost their mothers from a young age, with Asuka losing her mother at 4 and John losing his mother just before his 18th birthday. It’s known that John’s mother wasn’t exactly mentally stable as Mimi, John’s aunt, was given custody of him. Similarly to John’s mother, Asuka’s mom, Kyoko, was also mentally unstable. Kyoko lost her mind after surviving a failed experiment with Evangelion Unit-02. This experiment would also end up taking the life of Yui Ikari, Shinji’s mother (this is important info for later.) Kyoko ultimately committed suicide after losing her mind and her husband in the process. Though it is ambiguous how Asuka’s father felt towards her, he did indeed drive his daughter away by cheating on Kyoko while hospitalized. It’s also known that John’s father wasn’t very involved with him up until the height of Beatlemania. Both John and Asuka were never very close with their parents due to many different factors.

(It can also be argued that John and Asuka were both adopted, but Asuka being adopted was only canon in the manga. For the sake of this post, I’ll only mention canon events from the anime going forward.)

I would also like to bring up this video.

RELATIONSHIPS WITH LOVERS

John and Yoko will probably be the most recognized celebrity couple in the world. It’s also recognized that John had an Oedipus complex which was sometimes discussed. The same can be said for Asuka, considering the fact that she romantically latched onto Kaji, a 30 year old special inspector for NERV. Asuka does this to fill the void of a perfect father figure in her life, as well as filling the role of a lover. John mentions doing this with Yoko numerous times. John and Yoko would even go as far as calling each other mommy and daddy. Moving onto other romantic relationships, I will now discuss Shinji, Asuka, John, and Paul. Shinji and Asuka have this strange dynamic throughout the story of Evangelion. Asuka is secretly in love with Shinji (you can already see which direction this is headed in), though Shinji has a hard time reciprocating his feelings due to his own personal struggles. Asuka’s rudeness and constant bullying also confuses Shinji, leaving him to wonder what Asuka truly feels for him. In this scenario, Paul would be in the same boat as Shinji. Shinji and Paul both lost their mothers at a young age. Paul and John bonded over the loss of their mothers. In a way, this also happens with Shinji and Asuka. It’s easy to tell that Shinji is more drawn towards Asuka after she tells him that her stepmom isn’t her actual mother. John and Paul go on to have a rivalry as they grow older, which also happens to Asuka and Shinji, though their rivalry was highlighted since day one. This rivalry between the two characters progresses all the way to the finale of the series. You can say that Asuka finally accepts Shinji when she lifts her hand up to his cheek while he is brutally strangling her. This act is seen as her accepting him into her heart after everything that they’ve been through. John and Paul also reconcile towards the end of John’s life. In Evangelion, the world is quite literally destroyed at the end of the series when the two finally reconcile. I’m not gonna be cheesy and say the same for John and Paul, but yeah. MOVING ON NOW.

OTHER FACTORS

John and Asuka have a habit of trying to appear more “mature” than they truly are. Asuka constantly boasts about being the best and most mature out of everyone. Same can be said for John. We also see this with his marriage to Cynthia Powell, John’s first wife. In my eyes, John’s first marriage was a rush to maturity considering the fact that he was only 21. I could say the same for John having a child with Cynthia at such a young age as well. John and Asuka, though trying to seem mature, are ultimately vulnerable people who tend to regress. Asuka acts like a young, lovestruck girl with Kaji. John acted in a similar fashion with Yoko. Asuka and John had massive egos. What else is there to say, really?

FINAL SUMMARY AND A FUN FACT

This is gonna be a quick one that basically ties together the points of my threads.

John and Asuka were seriously neglected as children which had a massive impact on their social development, as well as behavior.

Both had large egos, yet low self esteem.

The only fun fact about the two I have is that they both know German and Japanese.

THANKS FOR READING!

Coffee Break - Ikarishipping

College AU I’m working on 🫶

"Oh man! I can't believe I got to have a gym battle with Ash Ketchum!" 

Ash could swear he saw heart eyes in the challenger's eyes as he ran out with a badge and an autograph. He waved goodbye with a laugh, Pikachu on his shoulder. 

"You go easy on another challenger? You're going to ruin my reputation." 

Ash grinned as he turned around. "Paul! You're back!" 

"Pikachu!" 

Ash grazed his hand over the panel to lock the front doors of the gym. He jogged up to Paul with excitement. 

"When did you get back?" He hugged him tightly. 

Paul patted his back lightly as Pikachu jumped off Ash's shoulder and onto Paul's before hopping to the ground. It ran off and called behind him. 

Ash pecked Paul on the lips still grinning.

"I hear you've been giving away my badges again." Paul raised an eyebrow. 

"Well, he was trying so hard you know?" Ash laughed. 

Paul shook his head. "My gym is the most challenging in the region for a reason." 

"Come on, Paul. We've gotta let some through!"

"And having just anyone think they can waltz in here and beat me? You must be joking." Paul scoffed and turned to make his way down the hall. 

He held out his arm slightly and waited. Ash took the offer, lacing their fingers. "How was Reggie?" 

"Fine. As always." 

"What did he need help with?" Ash asked as the gym lights turned off behind them. 

"It was more of a job for you, but I now have a spirit tomb." 

"A spirit tomb? Why?" Ash asked as they made it to their yard. Ash waved as all their pokemon greeted them along with some client pokemon. 

"That's why I said it was more of a job for you. The Spiritomb had been abandoned on a ranch for a few decades. It was so lonely that it attacked anything even remotely close to the ranch." 

"Oh no!" Ash frowned. "Maybe Gengar can talk to it." 

Paul removed a pokeball from his belt and tossed it. "There you go, oh Great Pokemon Whisperer." 

Ash flushed and unlocked their hands. "Stop! You know I hate that." 

Paul pulled Ash back to him and set a hand on his waist. He placed a soft kiss on his cheek. "You mess with my reputation, and I run down yours." 

Paul grinned and ruffled Ash's hair, knocking off his hat. Froslass placed it back on Ash's head appearing due to interests in the newly caught ghost pokemon. 

"You're so annoying." Ash patted the dirt off his hat. 

"That so?" Paul smirked. 

"Yeah, it is." Ash shot back. 

"Have you fed the pokemon yet?" Paul asked. 

"No, I was gonna do it now." Ash muttered

"I'll help." 

"Thanks, but you don't have to. You're tired, aren't you?" 

"Have enough energy to help my boyfriend feed our pokemon." 

Ash rubbed his nose in embarrassment and felt his face heat. It wasn't often that Paul laid claim to him with labels. It always made him giddy and excited. 

"Okay!" Ash hooked their arms and led them to their storage unit. "We just got a new shipment of Brock's pokemon food!"

I've always had this annoying quirk, that whenever there is character customization in a game, I gotta design my character after another character I love, because otherwise I won't identify with them.

The character I used the most for this is... Paul...

So... I used him in Diablo IV too, as a Rogue and a Necromancer.

Since I love the snake theme for him and I always wanted to draw a grown-up version ofmy favorite character, I thought I'd try it today.

Hope you have a nice day and stay safe!

I was possessed by the spirit of my 12-year-old self and drew this in a single day because THIS MEME WAS MADE FOR THEM!!! 💙💜

[atemins]

This years redraw, made in time and all😁

There are definitely things I like and dislike in this, I had a lot of trouble drawing Drew for example. I think I redrew something on him at least five times and I’m still not happy with him😭

Despite the mediocre results with anatomy and rendering I think this years redraw showcased how much I’ve improved in the realm of compositions, it’s something Ive really focused on for my art-project in school so that’s fun! I also managed to film the majority of the process this year too! So that will be up in a few hours😄

About the pla Paul au…what would happen if Reggie somehow recognized Paul face in a fifth grade history book or something

Hey sorry for the delay! I'd imagine it'd be something like this but before Paul went missing :) I'd imagine Reggie would notice when helping Paul out with his homework and be weirded out how similar an unamed wielder would look to his baby brother

[dunsparceappreciator]

Some Pauls heavily based on screenshots!! Trying to reach 200 pins on a private pokemon pintrest board so my friend and I can celebrate on a certain someone's birthday hehe
