me defending katara: write an entire essay on why fandom treating her as an adult is missing the point of her character when she wants to be able to act like a kid. she wants to be playful and join in on the fun. she's barely the long-suffering "mom" who sighs at everyone else's shenanigans and ignoring her playful side is a huge disservice to her character. she isn't actually that mean to toph and honestly tried to extend her friendship to toph multiple times, it was toph who was being bullheaded and unhelpful towards katara. her being mad at zuko the longest was actually completely justified and it doesn't matter if sokka forgave him faster because katara isn't sokka and she isn't obligated to forgive someone just because her brother did. she actually didn't "talk non-stop" about her mom you guys just hate to see a female character focus on her trauma while writing a million essays on why zuko is the saddest boy to ever sad boy.
me defending aang: if you hate him you will die and go to hell.
ohhhhh I get it now. the "gifted kid" discourse exists because people see it fundamentally as a sign of Privilege and not as a largely meaningless category that puffs up weird children before setting them up for the same unremarkable lives as everyone else; thus they interpret people going "the educational system gave me false expectations before ultimately abandoning me to the same heartless world as everyone else" as "why am I, The Main Character, not getting everything I ever wanted."
my first favorite hobby is yapping. second is being extremely quiet and not talking ever at all ever.
sorry i forgot i had tumblr . wild life !!!!!!!!
high school teacher voice hello neurodivergent openly queer kid everyone sees as weird. you need to select a partner for this group pr- what do you mean everyone partnered up already? what do you mean youre the only one left without a partner? well i guess i have no choice but to force you to walk up to a random set of friends and join their group while they ignore you for the entire class again
we talk about the dangers of needing to be the smartest guy in the room but i think even more deadly is the urge to be the FUNNIEST guy in the room.
All the winners bouquets together!
I love how Collector’s and Luz’s magic are the opposite of what you would have expected from protagonist and antagonist!
Collector’s is bright and colorful and Luz’s is dark and deep purple.
His sparkles are white and her sparkles are black!
And both have pinks and blues as secondary colors!
I think people who consider aromanticism as "basically straight" underestimate how noticeable absence can be to those around you.
Whether you're a kid in school with classmates who won't take "no one" as an answer to who you have a crush on or an adult whose coworkers have picked up on the fact that you've never mentioned a romantic partner; after enough time, a lack or insufficient amount of romantic interest will raise the antennae of friends, family, coworkers, etc... They will notice and they will speculate and they will ask.
It is impossible to meet the societal bar for straightness through inaction.

minecraft has this deep deep sense of underlying dread but it also has this sense of tentative hope about it. sometimes you can hear echoes of minecarts in the caves. 11, 13, and 5 are all recordings of some nameless wordless fear that was encountered deep in the caves. and the universe said i love you because you are love. you the player can bring light and meaning back to these lost places. everything not lost will be saved
