if she could experience joy and grief and horniness and be a hot mess during an apocalypse all while mostly keeping it together, so can u

Misato embodies the Millennial struggle because she literally saves the entire world multiple times before she gets a single step up in rank, and even then it's just from "captain" to "major." And apparently this doesn't even come with enough of a pay increase for her to afford a better apartment.

It's still weird to me to think of Evangelion as post-apocalyptic but it kind of is, right?

She's not even that much of a mess, she's just a Gen X queen; functioning alcoholic that shows up to work everyday because she thinks if she doesn't the world is going to end, despite her millennial coworkers just fucking off whenever they feel like it and her boomer boss being a douche.

To be fair, the longer the show went on, the clearer it became that not only was she not keeping it together, she'd snapped way before the show proper started.

Always reskeet Misato

Ur right, I can be milfier misato

I got really mad at a meme saying she was the messiest of the purple haired anime women. Faye Valentine is a degenerate gambler who routinely skips out on her friends, being a functional alcoholic who is good at her job is par for the course in the professional world

She's low-key a baddie 😭

This was the energy boost I needed to finish my day. Thank you.

Having a house penguin helps.
