Seeing people grow out of their z*tara phase is extremely validating. Cause people were coming up the wildest fucking takes in the fandom.
The fact that most of the fandom demonised 12 year old Aang, a genocide survivor and the literally the last remnant of an ethnic group, was abusive or "toxic" about his feelings for katara or mocked him for his passivity, something that was an integral part of his culture and identity as an airbender.
Or using Katara as a reward for Zuko. Praising that one scene that she hugged him as the end all be all for their relationship despite the fact that she was completely willing when threatening to kill him. There's no way Katara would align herself (through marriage) or her family with the nation that ruined her life.
Aang brought her hope and genuine happiness. He respected her and taught her how to be a child again. Her and cared attacks against the fire nation.

The darkness enveloped everything, and the noise was deafening. It felt like the world was ending. That day, an unforgettable memory was seared into my consciousness.
The house we were sheltering in suddenly exploded, and stone and debris flew everywhere. But the thing I really remember was the sound. Like the loudest thunder clap but in your face. The air was sucked out of my lungs and I began choking on dust. Then an eerie silence punctuated by cries. The impact hard thrown us, my little family was sheltering against a collapsed wall. I could see the main part of the house utterly destroyed and the corner we were hiding in, relatively intact. Had the bomb landed more centrally, we would have all died. I could see my wife standing up with our children, who had superficial cuts and we started to make our way out through the rubble. It was then that I saw my niece heavily bleeding. I scooped her up and we made our way to the hospital. Luckily, my family survived but the same cannot be said for other families sheltering in nearby houses.

From chapter 4, everything goes to complete shit. What the fuck was this manga. Yuri and Aono need therapy instead of sex.
Whoever described yuri and aono to kimi no todoke, I hope you're constantly uncomfortable and mildly inconvenienced.
just finished aono-kun volumes 10 and 11 last night. wanted to illustrate my experience of reading the whole series so far. take this as a recommendation!
I'll say that I'm team movies 🎬
And while you're here, please share and/or donate to help save a woman widowed by genocide and her young son and daughter.

save my children 🚨
Children are not to blame😔😔
"My three daughters, Fatima, Iman, and Nour, have known nothing but war and fear.
Every day, I watch their childhood slip away before my eyes. 😔 Fatima, though so young, carries a burden far heavier than her age. She tries to be strong for her sisters, but behind her little smile, her heart breaks 💔 with every sight of destruction around her.
Iman, who once dreamed of playing and laughing, now cries every night. 😢 Nothing can stop her tears, and nothing can hide her terror from the sounds of explosions outside. 💥
As for Nour, who barely knows what life means, she is surrounded by scenes of ruin instead of the colors of childhood. Amidst the rubble and devastation, I see her eyes asking me, 'Why?' 😔
I feel powerless every day. How can I protect them? How can I fill their small bellies with food as prices rise 📈 and resources disappear? I am a father, and I am helpless. 💔
All I can do is wait, with broken patience and hope that’s barely holding on. 🌿
I pray every day that tomorrow brings some mercy... before they lose what remains of their innocence." 🙏

I love Zuko and Azula as characters, but I'll be damned if I say they deserve more sympathy than the people their family oppressed.
Need I remind you that at a point, all of your fire nation faves agreed that the colonisation and genocide of the air nomads, Southern water benders, and dragons were completely justified. Even if zuko and Iroh saw the error in their actions, it still doesn't erase the fact.
Atla fandom is the only fandom where the oppressor characters get more sympathy and empathy than the oppressed characters
I'm sorry, you deserve better
I love Zuko and Azula's characters, but I'll be dammed before I said they suffered more than any nation their family oppressed.

Dubbing the N52 'the racialized misogyny reboot'.Like just look at it-'Kori' as a whole,the easian girl stereotypication against Cass when she was created to FIGHT it,no Tam or Lian or Mar'i or Nell,ragingly islamophobic Talia writings,total removal of Raven's indian-coding to make her a white goth girl(i support goth indian Raven and proper Bbrae and no,she can't be the 1st but not the 2nd and it HAS to be appropriate unlike the Titans Tv age gap-either that or canonized as a lesbian,no inbetween)that you CANNOT blame on the Teen Titans cartoon entierly seeing as there were still indian influences present with her there,the janky ass Jade slander,the lack of Natasha and Traci and Jenni,the creepy romances with Emiko and Damian that did an Arrowfam member dirty for a Bat's sake yet again and on and on and on!!!That shit is fucked up!!As an autistic latina black woman with superheroes as a special interest who started reading comics because of starting to selfship with Jason due to watching Utrh,i have no clue how y'all snowroaches be eating this up when Jason looks miserable in every issue of Rhato to have to put up with 'Roy' and 'Kori's mollycoddling and is clearly way happier and better written around his actual love interests who not coincidentally at all are woc and actually have personalities on their own and equal heathly dynamics regardless of wether you see the chemistry or not(Rose,Artemis and Dana),ntm him and DUKE for profound brotherly dynamics you want so bad which i did a whole other rant on in my tag for them.He deserves better fans than y'all and much more importantly the woc of DC deserve to be free of y'all's cluches as much as they do the DC writers because the asskissery y'all be doin' is crazy.Shut the fuck up about 'female-coding' and read comics.Decades worth.Readcomicsonline and the infinite superheroines reading lists are all yours.Don't post about DC until you're done,i'm so non-Joker.You can't be talking about woc like that white girls
Israel just carried out a large-scale terrorist attack in Lebanon by causing a number of pagers to simultaneously explode across the country, injuring thousands of people.
It's a developing story, but so far eight people, including an eight-year-old girl, have been confirmed murdered in the attack. An additional 3,000 have been injured.
I've seen Western media outlet report on this like its a target attack on Hezbollah fighters, with media figures in my own country using words like 'sophisticated' and 'impressive' in their reporting.
Look at this still from a video capturing one the pagers going off, and tell me what you see:
Does this look like a justified "military target" to you?
We don't know how these pagers were compromised yet, or who were carrying them, but we're starting to get a good idea of where they exploded, and so far, from the videos circulating online, that includes shops, supermarkets, buses, cars, civilian homes and hospitals.
If this had been done by any other country in the region, it would have been called a terrorist attack.
Welcome ♥️
I hope you are well too I am 👍
Muhammad from Gaza, my father Three children I write to you with a heavy heart and an urgent request for help. My family is in a very dangerous situation due to the ongoing war, and I have started a GoFundMe campaign to save them. Can you please share my campaign post from my profile? Every share can be a lifeline for my family. 🙏 Feel free to share it on any other social media platform if you wish.🇵🇸🍉❤️🍉
Hello, I'm Ola, a graduate student from the faculty of science - Al-Azhar University in Gaza Palestine. I truly appreciate you taking a moment to read my story. As you reading my message, myself and my family, “my mother, father, three sisters, and my little brother,” are fighting death in northern Gaza and trying to survive under all kinds of suffering including but not limited to fear, instability, and starvation, thirst, and poverty.
For 11 months until now, we have been struggling to get proper food after prices increased by 15 to 20 times, struggling to have clean water for use and drinking. We lacked security and stability as we were forced to evacuate our house and left everything behind.
I sincerely hope you can empathize with our dire situation and consider supporting us. You can follow me to make sure I am not a scammer and to inquire about any details. Your generosity has the power to make a significant difference.
Please reblog my post, follow me and boost my posts, and repost the link to our campaign across all your social media.
My campaign has been vetted by @90-ghost , @northgazaupdates , @el-shab-hussein , and @nabulsi 's vetted list, line 205.

Hello everyone, I have another update to make.
Muhammed has two sons, Zaen and Yehya. He and his family have been displaced nine times and live in unbearable conditions. They are currently in Rafah, constantly afraid of invasion.
Since my last update, this campaign has raised another €1,491. This puts them at €4,693 out of €25,000; great, but not enough.
Everyone, please help this family by donating if you can and sharing this campaign. I have no doubt that they'll be able to reach their goal if everyone does their best to help them.

Hello dears! I am asking you to support my campaign to help me reach my goal. I am in dire need of your support now to help me stay alive and safe. Gaza is a very dangerous place both in terms of living and lives. The family consists of 20 members, most of them are young children. I need your financial support to enable me to get the basic needs for my family until the Rafah crossing is reopened to transport my family to safety and peace. Please help a family stay alive through your small donations or through your shares to others. Thank you very much for standing by those in need. My campaign 90-ghoset has been documented
This, please, because I'm still tired of having to explain this. It just shows some people in the fandom lack media literacy. As fusion by itself is a whole ass relationship that can vary with each person. The problem stems from the fact that some people can't understand the fact that some relationships dont have to be sexual.
do you ever think about how Steven Universe created the concept of Fusion as a rather beautiful meditation on the concept of collective identity, how we are naturally different people (in small ways) with every single person we have a relationship with, how your relationship with a person (or persons) is so unique and specific compared to your relationships with anyone else that it’s practically its own person, Fusion being the personification of the very abstract idea of the collective you that relationship is, how a relationship isn’t just a combination of the traits of the people involved but actually has its own traits unique to the relationship that each individual doesn’t have (or doesn’t outwardly express or not to the same extent), that a relationship is essentially its own fleeting often-temporary person, the concept of a collective you being an I and not a we
and then a whole wing of people just decided “oh, it’s sex???” beyond all logical reason and even when the show had children fuse and people with parent-child relationships fuse decided that that must mean the show was condoning pedophilia and incest and rape rather than realize that they just catastrophically misunderstood the entire premise of Fusion, even though the show literally had the main character sing a silly little song about it in the very first episode it came up in which blatantly spells out the concept of Fusion as “the person you are together”
and get mad about it? ‘Cause I do!
THIS. THIS. THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN TRYING TO ARGUE SINCE. ZUTARA STANS WILL BE CLAIMING THAT AANG WAS WEAK AND SHOULD HAVE KILLED OZAI WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING HIS CHARACTER AND MOTIVES. ESPECIALLY THE CULTURAL CONTEXT OF WHO HE IS AND HOW IT WOULD AFFECT HIM.
It’s time for people in the fanbase to finally accept that Aang was in complete control of the avatar state in that battle with Ozai. He was furious and his rage is clear as day, and he had every right to be. It’s tired to see people crediting Aang’s anger to Kyoshi or whatever all the time. The jokes are funny, but not here, not in this battle.
Aang enters the avatar state right after Ozai says this to him: “You’re weak, just like the rest of your people. They did not deserve to exist in this world, in my world. Prepare to join them—prepare to die.”
Aang reaches out from under those rocks and grabs Ozai, and then when Ozai tries to burn his face in the face place he burned his own son, Aang smacks his hand away and then blasts him into a rock pillar with airbending, the first element he uses against him once in the avatar state is the same element Ozai just called weak. There’s a reason Aang surrounds himself with an air bubble, and there’s a reason Aang’s airbending is so violent and unrelenting in this fight. He literally airbends so violently that he erodes a rock pillar all the way through in like 2 seconds. It’s a blatant display of the power airbending actually possesses, a big fuck you to Ozai who starts running away like a coward.
Aang is coming face to face with a man whose family line is directly responsible for wiping out his entire race of people, his entire culture. They took everything from him. He had nothing but Appa and the clothes on his back and his glider. That was it. That was all that was left of their genocide, a genocide justified by the view that Air Nomads were undeserving of life, that they were the weakest of all the nations. Imagine how full of rage he must have been. And still, he does not kill him. Not because he can’t, but because he won’t let the Fire Nation complete their genocide against the Air Nomads, he won’t allow himself to be robbed of his own culture, a culture that exists through him only, now. I feel like people really just don’t understand Aang’s character, and they definitely never give him the credit or praise he deserves.
Finally, because I'm tired of how the entire fandom, even the comics, specifically the new 52, easily portrays Jason's struggling family as abusive. Because isn't it a good thing that he gets adopted by the richest man in Gotham rather than his shitty.
Willis Todd was a hardworking father who had to deal with horrible circumstances, and Catherine was a sick woman who needed to allievate her pain.
Alright. Willis Todd being an abusive father to Jason is a trope often utilized. Comparing this version of him to Bruce's reactions to Red Hood is fantastic. Lots to analyze there.
However, I raise you. There needs to be more fanwork addressing the classism behind Willis Todd being characterized as an abusive alcoholic. In some version of canon, Willis Todd was a good dad in a shitty situation. He was poor, his wife (Catherine) was sick, and he had a newborn baby he needed to provide for. In this horrid situation, where he has no family to fall back on and no higher education to obtain a decent well-paying job, he tries to get quick money. He's desperate to keep both his wife and son alive.
Catherine turns to drugs because it's easier and cheaper to buy drugs than healthcare. The pain she experiences is debilitating, and she'd do anything to not feel pain for one godsdamned second. Unfortunately, this turns into an addiction.
This ultimately shapes the way that Jason views crime. Bruce, while he may be sympathetic to individuals who resort to crime to pay their bills, will not understand huddling in Crime Alley in the dead of winter as he debates whether to buy food or pay for heating. He won't understand the bitterness, hatred, pain, and resignation of never having enough money to survive as you get chewed up again and again.
If Jason's dad is just an abusive criminal, that not only perpetuates the notion that all criminals are evil, but it will shape how Jason views those who commit crime. Breaking the law doesn't make someone bad. There's plenty of reasons people commit crime, whether to survive, protect someone, or something else. The issue, especially in Gotham, is the system that perpetuates wealth inequality through bribes and unethical governmental practices.
Anyway, I think Jason's Red Hood is more fleshed out if it accounts for him acknowledging the desperation behind goons and small-time criminals because he grew up without other options.
I was reached out by @azaxa to spread their campaign. They are a Palestinian with two small children is trying to evacuate. So far €30,322/45,000 has been raised, which means they're getting closer to their goal. There's only €14,678 left to raise. For those that can, you know what to do. Link to the campaign down below.

MCU Peter is such a far cry from the character you can barely call him Spiderman. His trilogy sucked ass because they kept his character tied to the billionaire war profiter and refused to challenge the role of Spiderman in any interesting way. Plus, he said and did things that you would genuinely question his supposed intelligence for.
Wanda and pietro were whitewashed and were killed in the most godawful ways imaginable.
And now, Dr. doom is played by a barely passable actor who is a white man.
Thanks, I hate it
It sucks when the worst version of your favorite comic book character is the most popular one
I will not explain at length I just want to tell you that I lost a number of my family members after the bombing of our house in Gaza. The pain that filled my heart after seeing them under the rubble is unbearable for anyone. I cannot bear to lose more of my family. All I have left is Lolo, the only survivor. I do not know what her future will be like without her father and her life as an orphan. Please, any amount will save the rest of my family

Please support this initiative! For every $10, SIHA Network is able to provide one menstrual hygiene kit for a Sudanese woman or girl. That is a small amount to pay for an incredibly powerful donation.

(I found this charity from this tweet. The price for menstrual hygiene kits seems to have gone up since it was written.)
They’ve been suffering for years with millions dead all for western capitalism and technology that they don’t benefit from. Women and children being SA’ed at extreme rates!
Thousands dead because Israel is committing a genocide to gain control of their lands. The only safe space they have left is being bombed RIGHT NOW with no ceasefire on the horizon!
They are going through a civil war with one side being funded by AMERICAN military aid with no peace in sight.
PEOPLE ARE DYING BY THE THOUSANDS, MILLIONS!!! And they are putting on a show with celebrities dressed in clothes that cost more than most of our salaries.
This world is fucked.
People care more about celebrity beef than the screams and pleas of dying men women and children!
These are human beings and under even the slightest shift in circumstances could be/can be you!
Speak up for the people that can’t speak up for themselves!
