Evangelion is the best anime ever and also absolute dogshit. Everybody should watch it. I don't recommend it to anyone.

[elbiotipo]

Evangelion touches deep themes and imagery. The creators said that they mostly introduced them because "they looked cool". It has amazing animation and scenery. They ran out of budget so most of the last chapters are just a telephone with a voiceover. Asuka is a quite developed character with an interesting exploration of female teenagehood and trauma. She's also used constantly as fanservice. Shinji is a very harsh picture of depression and lack of self worth and how one deals with it. He's also a whiny little bitch. Rei has a fascinating character arc as she begins to feel and think for herself. The creator himself forgot she existed by the middle of the series. Misato is probably the adult with most empathy towards the kids and what they're living through. She's also intermitently portrayed as an inmoral slob. Kaworu is probably the most interesting of all "antagonists" and has a very tender blooming romance with Shinji. He only shows up for a single episode. The EVAs are iconic mecha with a carefully developed worldbuilding and infraestructure behind them. Nobody fucking knows how big they are.

was talking to my friend and I said “wow you have really long fingers” and then I realised that sounded like I was coming onto him so I added “like ET” to desexualise the moment

this is a sign to stop self deprecating so much. like that shit causes so much damage to ur well being.

[cherryhub-remade]

im serious btw. i know first hand that once u start going down that road its so hard to stop. its so hard to stop the negative self talk and self pitying especially when you’ve been doing it for a long time. feeling bad abt urself all the time and insulting yourself doesnt do anyone any good, it just makes you feel worse in the long run. quite frankly self deprecation is one of the worst things u can do to urself. no one should feel burdened by their existence. you deserve better.

This photo always cheers me up a bit. It’s a front-page article from 1955 about Christine Jorgensen, one of the first women to have sex-reassignment surgery.

Since the text is a bit small and I couldn’t find a larger copy, here’s what the small blurb says:

A World of a Difference

George W. Jorgensen, Jr., son of a Bronx carpenter, served in the Army for two years and was given honorable discharge in 1946. Now George is no more. After six operations, Jorgensen’s sex has been changed and today she is a striking woman, working as a photographer in Denmark. Parents were informed of the big change in a letter Christine (that’s her new name) sent to them recently.

This article is 58 years old, and it’s more respectful of Christine’s pronoun choices and name than some publications are today. It makes me happy to see a newspaper be respectful of a trans person’s choice of name and pronouns like that :3

Say it again for the haters in the back who want to keep pretending that trans people, or even treating trans people with respect is even remotely anything new. 😎

It’s worth mentioning, that this was kinda celebrated as a wonder of the atomic age at the time. “Look at the power of our scientists! Look at what we can do!” You know, back when America was trying to be the leader in scientific advancement.

the money laundering post is already funny, but the notes section where tumblr users are learning about money laundering makes it even better
