They’re having the water is/is not wet debate

thinking abt how in “bitter work” when sokka sees aang and he’s immediately like “do you have any meat.” like obviously the answer is no. aang is a vegetarian. why would sokka ask that? it feels kind of obvious to just say “well he was hungry and desperate,” but honestly, that explanation doesn’t really sit right with me. sokka spends that episode stuck in a hole, and he occupies his time by bargaining with the universe. he’s basically doing an extended bit for his own amusement. when he asks a vegetarian monk if he has any meat moments after swearing to become a vegetarian himself, he isn’t really asking aang; no, he’s making that joke for himself, and for god.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that if you read a lot of sokka’s jokes as self-aware bits that he is performing for his own entertainment out of boredom (or letting himself be the butt of the joke for the entertainment of others) everything else about his character starts to click into place too. there are definitely areas in which he lacks self-awareness (his own self-worth is a big one), but he has always understood his role in the universe—and if you can’t be the hero, then you may as well be the fool.

I love the layers of this fight scene. The layers…

I’m pretty sure this is the first time Azula has ever been intimidated by her brother. She thinks she knows him, knows what to expect fighting him, but the Sun Warriors taught Zuko how to Firebend not from a place of rage, but purpose. His attacks are so much more controlled, and for the first time, he poses a real threat to her.

Sokka, my boy Sokka, has only been even wielding a sword for what, like a month? And here he is, putting Azula on the defence with it. The close-up of her smirk breaking into genuine fear when he swings and nearly forces her over the edge is so telling that she was not expecting him to actually go for such a move.

Azula is constantly on the offensive in pretty much every other fight scene she’s ever been in, but against Sokka and Zuko here, she’s much more cautious. The girl obviously did not expect such a challenge but they brought it. The way they rotate around each other in attacking is wild, and I truly believe this could have been Azula’s defeat if not for interference.

Kataang × Earth Kingdom girls × 'that's rough buddy' duo

“Suki is a valuable member of Team Avatar, and if you exclude her due to lack of screen time, you’re a coward.” I say into the mic.

The crowd boos. I begin to walk off the stage in shame, when a powerful voice speaks and commands attention from the room.

“She’s right.” I turn to see the speaker, and there, in the back row, is Sokka of the Southern Water Tribe himself.

Rise can't end until we get an episode about mikey's psychological depth and emotional problems

Despite all the relationships inside tmnt 2012 and the guys having their ways of interacting with each other (a lot of the time fighting), it wasn't an abusive household...

Yeah it was different to how they portrayed them in Rise and how they were brought up had a massive effect on that, but taking what they had and calling it abusive is a major exaggeration. 2012 has portrayed the love the family had for each on countless occasions but that gets shoved under the rug as soon as they wanna compare it to Rise.

Both iterations showed a great example of what it's like to have brothers, the good and the dirty stuff, but they both had just as many links to the other as well as the differences both shows have

Nah fam 2012 was abusive asdfhjk. No parent is perfect, but the was 2012 Splinter overtly favored Leo to the point where, after his death he only addressed Leo specifically when his other grieving sons were right there. He also never gave them the choice, he put them in a feud with a man he had beef with. He made them soldiers, and pushed specifically both Leo and Donnie to breaking points bc they were under such pressure to find and cure Splinter’s daughter all while Splinter sat back and barely joined the search.

All of this is a byproduct of poor writing but it was still compelling if u looked at it through the lenses of “this is what happens when u live in a toxic, abusive household”. And 2012 could have been successfully less frustrating if they would have just acknowledged that this was intentionally meant to portray a sucky family dynamic instead of trying to play it off as normal.

Ultimately 2012 Splinter fostered the tense and strained relationships between his kids, didnt really make the important decisions and left a majority of it on Leo- who then projected his stress onto his brothers, namely Donnie. Then 2012 Splinter knew his favortism was causing Raph a lot of anger and hurt, and did nothing but teach him how to channel that anger...instead of ya know, not favoring Leo to an extreme. He also never spoke to Mikey asfdghjkkl

And when Leo got beaten into a coma, Splinter convinced him his pain was all in his head to get him to recover quicker just to send him out to fight his battles again. He also taught them healing hands mad late and only taught it to Leo and not Donnie who...was the family medic at the time.

Like cmon this is abusive atp! Still interesting! But still abusive!

right, bryke is out and there goes my last interest in the live-action

Drabble prompt, something about Momo, exactly 100 words

Oh no my weakness-- 100 word drabbles that I can’t expand on! (this is why I cheat and do a drabble-series) Here’s... several more drabbles than you asked for about Momo adjusting to having a family(I enjoy writing Momo’s POV way too much, this is a problem. Will I be posting *another* Momo drabble collection to ao3 now? Yes. You’ve awakened a monster.) 1. Warm

The best part of being in a conspiracy again is the warmth.

This-lemur-now-Momo curls against his boy's heartbeat and twitches an ear as the soft breath tickles it. His boy is warm and his boy is gentle, and when his boy's heartbeat picks up and begins to race faster than Momo's when he's being chased, his boy never moves. Momo snuggles close, under his chin and his boy laughs quietly.

If Momo didn't know any better, he'd think his boy was dead. But Momo can feel his boy's heartbeat, and he can see the tear sliding down his boy's cheek.

2. Soft

The girl-who-smells-like-the-sea is softer than his boy. Momo laments the time he wasted before learning this because she is so soft, and her hair smells so nice, and she always knows where to scratch his ears. She is kind and gentle and he knows why his boy always gets so warm and flustered when she's around. He likes her for his boy. She makes his boy happy, and his boy breath easier. 

When his boy has all the fury of a thousand suns under his skin, and his boy scares Momo, she is there. Calm and steady, like the sea.

3. Bright

Momo isn't sure what to call the last member of their conspiracy.

He is least soft of the three tall-wingless-lemurs, though he and ocean-girl are tied for least warm. His boy is just much warmer than the others. The tall-wingless-lemur isn't soft, and he isn't warm, and though he smells like death still, Momo isn't afraid anymore.

This boy brings the brightness forth every night, though, the strange burning warmth that Momo fears in his bones. The brightness is like the boy--something dangerous, something that could hunt Momo down if it wanted.

Momo leaps onto the shoulder of the bright-boy.
