Kaworu’s a fairly enigmatic character both in-universe and Eva’s fandom circles. He does, however have a lot of subtleties which can be easily overlooked by any viewer. This page is a gigantic guide to his character from the anime, the Rebuilds, as well as the games, official and unofficial manga. It also delves into his relationships with other characters (Shinji, Rei, and Asuka). As such it addresses common as well as subtle points of his character and common misconceptions. The pages that aren’t boldfaced are personal analyses I’ve made over the years. Others, marked in bold, belong to others. I’ve also made warnings to the respective links as well.
You know, an interesting tumblr transformation that’s happened gradually, and which I’ve seen no one talk about: ask-culture has essentially dropped off to nothing.
By which I mean, asks used to be WAY more of the tumblr economy. They used to be more common to send, and receive, and see. They were integral to the collaborative, forum-like behavior of old tumblr communities, not even to speak on the HUGE number of ask-blogs that used to exist to only be interacted with in ask-form.
I’m not saying this in a vying-for-attention way but instead in an observational way: I used to get way way more asks in like 2015, even with a fraction of my follower count. I wonder if it’s due to the homogenization of social media sites? There’s a lot more of this divide between “content creator” and “consumer” instead of just a bunch of peer blogs who would talk to each other. “Asks” aren’t really a thing on twitter, are they? And as I understand it, the closest thing to an “ask” on instagram or tiktok would be a creator screenshotting some comment and responding to it in a new reel or video or whatever those content mediums are. Are asks just too tumblr-specific? Is that aspect of the site culture dying out as more and more people converge to using all their social media sites in the same way?
i miss random asks tbqh. like sometimes you’d be like yeeeeesh ok not touching this one, but a lot of times it was just FUN.
Some folks I follow have pretty active inboxes but that seems to be the exception rather than the rule.
Semi-regular reminder that I LOVE getting asks. They don’t have to be “on topic” as long as they’re polite.
Asking died the moment when publicly dunking on people took its place
does anyone know if i can like block sites from appearing in my google images searches??? i keep getting those awful ai generated things with a hand coming out of a man’s neck and just straight up not what i was looking for, because this was in a search for “curly hair in medieval paintings”. it happens every time i search for anything vaguely art-reference-like and it’s so fucking annoying and it clutters my search results so much. i don’t wanna add specific commands to the query every time too, what i need is like a browser extension or something
