great-blaster:
This comic “Mountain God’s Winter Party” is found published in color in the (edit) anime fanbook! (Sorry, volume 27.5 had another comic)
It takes place after the events of Inter-high, and even more specifically, after volumes 30-31 before Manami and Onoda become second-years.
Scans were provided by Rapi, thank you. Download.
Evangelion Asuka Langley plugsuit cosplay tutorial by arcsin
By your requests I have made my own plugsuit tutorial. I hope it will be a guide for you or at least help you in making your very own plugsuit! I, by all means, don’t consider myself a good tailor since I have never sewn a thing in my life before this cosplay so feel free to make it far more better than mine :)

Word Clouds Help You Identify Common Words
As some of you may know, there is a great lack of resources for my target language, Albanian. So I have to get creative. I can’t use a site like LingQ for reading and keeping track of words, but I can still do something similar with a Word Cloud! Surely the ability to consume more volume of material through LingQ is preferred, however, there’s a lot to be gained from doing the work yourself rather than having an app do it for you.
Make sure to follow @kuantikeshqip for more posts on how to learn less-popular languages (i.e., ones that aren’t on all the apps).
The Method
The gist of this method is to help you learn words through context, which has been shown to be more effective than drilling flashcards. More specifically, by identifying and learning the most frequent words in the article, you will have an easier time with understanding your reading even if you don’t know all the words.
If you’re a complete beginner, this is also a way to learn what the most common words in the language are so that you make sure you know the basics. I recommend beginners do this with multiple articles across different topics (without reading them) to get a feel for the most common words.
Find an interesting article in your target language (don’t read it yet!). If you’re using Chrome, you can translate the whole front page of a news site to decide on an article if you’re lost.
Paste the text into a Word Cloud generator. It will create a Word Cloud like the one above.
If any words you already know pop up, filter them out and regenerate the Word Cloud (I left common words in above so I could make sure I know some of the most common words).
Look up some of the new, more frequent words (they show up the largest in the cloud) in a dictionary or translator to create a primer vocab list.
Try to read the article. On the first pass, don’t look anything up. Just read. Say it out loud or use text-to-speech to also train your speaking/listening.
Read the article again, this time looking up words you don’t know. Print out the article and mark it up if you prefer it! If you don’t know most words, try translating individual words and whole sentences (see below).
Read the article one more time to test your comprehension.
Repeat as many times as you find helpful, going paragraph by paragraph with your own translation if you need to.
Type up a list of words from the article you now definitely know (should ideally include the common ones) and filter them out next time you make a Word Cloud so you are always learning new words!
Don’t stress about memorizing all the words! Just try to understand.
Here’s an example of my dissection for an article where I didn’t know most of the words (Insta):
I hope this helps!

im very grateful for the lessons in photography i was taught in stop motion class because just now they made it possible to photograph the stars with my phone in spite of the camera usually not detecting the light of stars because theyre so dim,,,, enjoy these shiny motherfuckers
ok so if everythings normal, your phone camera should have a manual mode (sometimes called pro mode). in it, change the settings of the shutter lag to 20 seconds, then put the phone down on some stable, plane surface and press the photo button (usually when using your camera, the volume buttons can be used as photo button) and let the phone still for the whole 20 seconds.
(basically the problem with most cameras is that they dont have a very good light sensitivity in the dark, however that doesnt mean they cant detect it at all. the longer the shutter is open, the more light your camera takes in and the more burnt/light your pic will be, so in (literally) dark situations, make the shutter lag longer to get all that light you need! also i said 20 seconds but really you can make it shorter or longer depending on what kinda stuff you want for your stars)
Yes this!
Additionally, adjust your ISO to the highest number (mimics the film used for very low light and low speed images)
And set your shutter speed to the longest time possible (on my phone it’s 10 seconds).
Leave your focus settings on Auto, and if your phone camera has a timer option, turn that on (five seconds is generally enough).
Plan your shot first, then find a place to set your phone down so you can get the image you want. The less light pollution, the better; you’ll pick up FAR more stars in your picture.
Once you know what you want to shoot, tap your screen to “focus” it, then hit the button to take the picture, set your phone down, and back away from the “tripod”. Don’t touch your phone for a good 15 seconds, just to be sure.
You will not be disappointed in the results, let me assure you.
Not even a little bit.

THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I’VE EVER LEARNED
Debut 21 (PS1 1998, TOSE/NEC Interchannel)
I don’t know what the moral to this story is.
Anthony Bourdain’s death has been a punch to my gut. He meant so much to me. He was my hero. I feel empty. I feel full of sadness and grief. I don’t know what’s worth living for.
These two boys are heading your way! Jin will be posted to @logicheartsoul within the day and Touya is in progress. Enjoy! (๑>◡<๑)

Rain and Lights - Jiufen, Taiwan - February, 2015
I’ve lived a shitty life.
Even when I think things are going well, I’m can’t stop thinking about the things I should be doing and the person I’ll never be.
I’ll never be enough.
I think about dying every day. Because I’m a loser and always looking for the easy way out.
I’m garbage.
I’m in no way better than you. I’ve just dug myself into a hole that I’m too scared to try to escape from.
For artists who have problems with perspective (furniture etc.) in indoor scenes like me - there’s an online programm called roomsketcher where you can design a house/roon and snap pictures of it using different perspectives.
It’s got an almost endless range of furniture, doors, windows, stairs etc and is easy to use. In addition to that, you don’t have to install anything and if you create an account (which is free) you can save and return to your houses.
Examples (all done by me):
Here’s an example for how you can use it
Great find, thanks!
OMG HEAVEN!!
Bless you!!!!
