Set design for the original 1906 production of Frank Wedekind’s play Frühlings Erwachen.
So remember how I said Eva and Spring Awakening have a lot in commom?? (Spring awakening is a german play about 14-year-olds and their awakening sexualities and how society screws them over and it’s pretty tragic. There’s also a broadway musical)
So I decided to grab that and run with it and do a crossover sorta thinghahaha yeah. I can’t seem to find one sole role for Shinji, so first I made him Ernst for Kaworu’s Hanschen?? Than I made him Wendla for Asuka’s Melchior??? and that was really fun (I really wanted to draw him in stockings. and the beating scene ahhaha). But in the end Shinji is most likely Moritz, and I realised Mari is the perfect Ilse too. (alternatively, Shinji could also be Hanschen, just because, you know, masturbation scene.)
And Rei fits the Martha bill to a tee.
SCREAMS A LITTLE because I’ve been listening to the reprise of “The Word of Your Body” for like three weeks and I couldn’t help but see it as kawoshin every time. But yes Shinji is perfect for all these roles imo, I’m so glad someone else thought of this too!!

no, but really. I think it would suit them, hahah

Eva and Spring Awakening have quite a few things in commom. 14 year olds struggling with their sexualities and general relationships with others, suffering with various levels of disconnection from their parents, there’s some gayness and someone loses his head in a literal sense. Oh, of course, there’s also a dude jerking off.
Melchior, Wendla and Moritz from Spring Awakeningggggggg
I was taking a break from reading this gigantic thesis about a painting, and I had a Spring Awakening epiphany. I remembered that the name Melchior seems to mean “king.” Then I remembered Moritz’s obsession with the headless queen story… you guys catch my drift???

Made a gif from a video of Brazil’s Spring Awakening (Despertar da Primavera).
Awesome hug.
I got told off by a security guard last night for attempting to perform “Mama who bore me” while standing on a chair.

That is today’s story
