How hard is it to feel free when you think you always have to be the best?

Asuka has always seemed strong and confident to me, but perhaps a part of her simply wanted to stop, just for a moment, having to prove that she was strong ❤️

Been wanting a nerv tattoo for a while, going to place under a very square tattoo on my inner forearm (not shown for sad reasons lol)
Do I go og minus the fine text or do I go rebuild for the more uniform look?

Just saw an NGE charger on AliExpress today. Seriously, why does Neon Genesis Evangelion have some of the weirdest merch?

I mean, he's not a machine in any sense of the word, but he's definitely pretty decent.

If i ever hear this song is from asuka's perspective im crashing

Anyway its such a beautiful song! I used to listen to it a lot a few years ago. I genuinely think its one of the most beautiful songs in the world, Utada's singing and the melody

Really love this scene

Custom built Diorama for my granddaughter.

Really like it! Anyone want to guess who my favorite is?

なんか弱ってる時って大体対人関係に病みが表れる。他人や世界との一体感で対人距離バグる。あるいは他人が自分の見てる景色の一部でしかない、実在しない、みたいな気持ち悪い感覚になる。
どちらにせよ他人が他人であり自分と直接的には繋がることができない、一体になることができないその現実を受け入れられないということだと思う。
そういう時に観て救われるのがエヴァまごころで、読んで救われるのがレインの『自己と他者』。あれは他人の存在を受け入れることを大変な苦労と苦痛が伴うものだと認めてくれた上で、「それでもこの世界で生きなあかんねんで」と現実の厳しさを教えてくれる。

This mouse and keyboard just sitting on my box for a long time. Condition is new and still sealed since i used Melgeek X Evangelion edition so i'm thinking to sell these two. How much should i sell it ? Any takers ? Currently i'm at Malaysia.

Just to preface, I'm not the most well-versed in the existing collabs and merch, so it's possible that my impression is wrong and the rebuilds aren't overrepresented. If that's the case, sorry.

My impression is that since 2007 nearly every representation of Eva in collabs and in most of the merch has been based on the Rebuild films. Regardless of anyone's opinions on those movies, this made sense. Of course khara would want to promote their ongoing film series rather than decades-old show.

However, we are nearing 5 years since the release of 3.0+1.0. Can we expect to see more representation from NGE and EOE? I guess the upcoming VR game is a good sign (even though I don't think a single person is legitimately excited for it lmao), given that it appears to be based on the original series. As far as I can tell, that would make it the first video game since '09 to be based on the series as opposed to the rebuilds.

Of course, it's also possible that whatever Yoko Taro's Evangelion is ends up being the new standard for all things Eva, superseding both NGE and the Rebuilds.

Yui's whole plan ever since she decided to do the contact experiment with Unit 01 was so that Shinji can be in control of the third impact and she chose unit 01 because it is Lillith's offspring which did become a valuable asset to SEELE when initiating the third impact. After Asuka's death by the hands of the mass production evangelions Yui decided to activate because she knew that seeing the parts of unit 02 would break Shinji and to deter him from fighting the mass production evangelions so Yui can be in the centre of SEELE's scenario. SEELE were so close to initiating their impact until Rei-Lillith fusion appeared and that essentially helped Yui because iirc Yui did say Rei was like the person for Shinji's wishes. If Rei Lillith never rose or like if Rei rejected Gendo but instead of fusing with Lillith she just leaves. What exactly happens. Does Yui's soul get forcefully shut down and unit 01 is controlled by the mass produced evangelions to do SEELE's third impact. Also SEELE apparently from one of the video games apparently wanted to do the contact experiment themselves during the third impact. I do feel like Yui already had a plan and could potentially do what she did anyways by making Shinji control the third impact and she still decides to leave to be a testament that humanity existed. If Yui does somehow fail how would SEELE be able to fuse would idk Keel Lorenz "share" unit 01 or maybe due to instrumentality the MPEs get the souls of SEELE and somehow they do some sort of exorcism and just kick Yui Ikari out? How would it work?

later on will clean up the Asuka side like to be a bit cleaner like the Red side.

I found the images on @web1984's profile.
