>>3076708Something grates me about phollie, I don't know who mooncatcher is. The amount of Kawoshin fanfiction that didn't either bug or disgust me is something I can count on one hand.
But I really rarely read fanfiction. Maybe I'm missing out on some beautiful secret.
>>3076850I want to watch him grow. He doesn't know anything and is learning about the world around him without anybody knowing that's what he's trying to do, so the miscommunications he has with others (especially Shinji) are tragic because of that. Because of Sadamoto's art, he's extremely expressive, too, which I find cute.
One of the things I like about him is how, when he says assholeish stuff, he clearly has zero expectations that others will think he's an asshole because of it. He's got absolutely no idea how to interact with others, but this manifests in a personality very different from Rei's. He's very earnest because he doesn't know how to be any other way (maybe it doesn't occur to him?). And once he gets it in his head that he wants to try at something, he tries very hard, even though it leads him to death and heartbreak.
Karl is a good boy.
