i want denji to be her purse. the intimacy of having him with her always etc etc

Alternatively:

I /really/ love Evangelion’s user interfaces. The problem I have with most modern science fiction UIs is that they’re way too polished for no reason. Stuff like mining rigs, or military vehicles- they all have this over-nice reactive UI that bounces and squiggles whenever characters touch them. Who would program any of this shit? Not only that, but there’s a lot of bullshit shapes that show no meaningful information to the user.  This is why I love the computer/set design of Evangelion (and also stuff like Alien). They look and feel beat up. Used. Real. When I look at Evangelion’s UI, I’m reminded of oscilloscopes and other things real engineers use. Sure there’s a lot of noise on the screen, but all of it feels like it could MEAN something to someone in-universe.

how do i describe what it's like to be a 12 year old girl whose life is controlled by shoujo manga that start off cute but then descend into cult mayhem (and all the characters are also 12)

Gavin Newsom would do this. HuffPo would write a great article titled “Newsom claps back at Trump over Devil negotiation skills.” The DNC account would NOT quote tweet because the intern in charge died of mysterious and unrelated heart attack.
