In 1400s a dog dueled who he suspected to be the murderer of his owner
death note au where Light is chishiya and L is Arisu except I never finished Death note and so believe they like idk paired up and took over the world or what ever.
The removal of the sexism pisses me off not because it just affects Sokkas character but because it has ruined almost every woman in the show.
Suki takes off her make up often, as if it isn't a large part of her cultural identity and personality, as if her being a kyoshi warior and her destinctly femenine clothes are something to be ashamed off or that hinders her. Because its only her that gets this treat amongst the warriors, and shes the only main kyoshi warrior for the audience.
Yue's entire character is removed. It is replaced with what I think is meant to be a sympathetic princess to the people, she joins the nans in the kitchens and make deserts for the children. Like a disney princess whose quirky and silly and held back only by her title of a princess. Gone is the battle between her desire to help and her duty to be a water tribe ideal woman. Gone is her realising that the best way to help her people is to not be an ideal woman, but to take action and to do what no one else can, to become one with the moon so that she can forever help not just her tribe but the entire world. It is depressing, it is deep, it isn't fair to her but when has the world ever been fair?
Katara aswell. Her bending is forever unlocked by men (Aang and Jet), her defiance of authority is lessened and her naievety is also changed. A lot of her motherhood role is also completlty gone since they have changed Sokkas sexism into elder brother smothering. Her fight with Paku holds a lot less significance since she has no RAGE behind her. No rage that has built for YEARS as time and time again people have said no to her face for being a woman, for being weak, for not being enough simply because of who she is. that doesn't exist for her anymore because the water tribes are just...nice. We see one bad person in the water tribe and its Hadoka and he's mean to sokka! Kataras rage comes from Paku saying no to her, and whilst thats swell, it changes her entire "I'm a master now" moment into just...lame girlbossery. Thats kinda how the entire last 2 episodes felt like for her character. A common girlboss character without the emotional depth to make it femenism.
I think my main issue is that both shows set themselves up as being femenist by nature. The og show wanted to tackle issues with sexism, using book 1 as its main demonstration with it, but the theme still follows throughout the narative. netflix's show outright said they were removing the sexist elements. When you place youself onto that pedastal, any sexist writing you have becomes emphasised.
The og show undoubtably has sexist moments! Irohs comments to June are the most obvious to me, a long with a couple comments from Zuko later on. You can certainly argue that the extreme lack of GOOD mother figures is an issue (Kat and Sokkas mother is dead, Zukos is 'dead', and Toph is awful and rather quite compared to her father). Theres other examples, although currently my brain cannot think of any since I don't often write indepth critisms.
The live actions main point of sexism is its female main characters. we literally meet Yue in the kitchen! Women can be in kitchens but that is certainly a choice! Theres this strange hatred for make up aswell, yes with Suki but also with Sokka. His war paint is removed. Its like saying make up cannot be worn by strong fighters which is rather sexist. Speaking off: not putting Sokka in the kyoshi outfit is just...dumb? If you want to show him learning the style, having him wear the outfit. Its an aspect of the style and philosophy. A man wearing make up and a skirt doesn't emasculate him yet the show makes it feel that way with the refusal to do it. "Oh but then you'd have Sokka and Suki kiss in the kyoshi outfits" who cares. "it will look like lesbians" it won't. Even if it did, who cares? you can't be 'femenist' and anti-lesbian. Putting Sokka in the Kyoshi outfit, having him respect it, is just as important as having Aang learn the other elements, or Iroh creating lightning redirection. Why? because it shows a respect of culture, and how you can blend that into your own way of thinking. It's cultural extchanged based on respect.
When you name yourself femenist, yet have explicitly sexist writing, your GOING to get dogpiled with critism based on that 'femenist' msg.
OMG OK SO I ACTUALLY DID SCREAM WHEN I FIRST SAW THIS AND MY CAT JUMPED AND FELL OF MY BED BUT OMG ITS PERFECT
hatter reminds me greatly of the roman emperor Caligula ( ya know the guy who like declared war on Neptune and stabbed the ocean? and also tried to have his horse be made a consul) so he’s got the crazy part down. oh and being murdered by the militants ( like how Caligula was like assassinated by someone in the praetorian guard or something) oh and the sex crazed thing
Aib au where everything the same except their all my little pony characters
more shit from my discord server Arisu: do you think werewolves taste different? Chishiya: yes Arisu: wonderful news, brb bouta go write a nsfw fanfic UsagI: what kind of???? Arisu: werewolves have a different diet as well as possibly a different blood flow and different tissue mass to transform and heal and shit so their meat must taste different yeah? nsfw can mean gore! Chishiya: you know that's not what you meant Usagi: you literally went so far off the tracks the fucking police were on watch Arisu: LISTEN I just think its interesting to disgust how different supernatural creatures would taste cuss it affects modern day culinary techniques and how it could change in a world building setting, is it so wrong to ponder?

Avatar where everything is the same except zuko has a glass eye.
I say everything’s the same, it wouldn’t be. Specifically during the water tribe arcs and potentially the desert he’d struggle cuss I assume having a glass eye is dangerous in terms of hypothermia. Like an eye getting to dry or to teary must be dangerous. Plus artificial eyes need to be cleaned and that must be a bit hard in the desert what with all the sand……. This is a fantastic idea for a cannon divergence zuko joins the gang during season 1 fic oh god.
December festivities call for a new blog header! Here's a longer look at the pixel gang's Christmas outfits
I can't draw but I can picture this in my head rn. Juno (as in Greek goddess Juno) sad on this in the modern day. A MASSIVE office with that behind her lavish but undecorated desk. Infront of her are Eros and Psyche or some other unfortunate couple who are forced to listen to her wedding plans for them.

Imagine chat being forced to play the piano so obviously he just stays playing a random piece he’s been forced to learn. But oh no hawk moth (his dad!) realises “holy snickerdoodles the only person who could logically play the wonderful symphony that drastically is clearly adrien” and now you’d think he’d either stop attacking in fear of hurting his son or attack harder for the ‘betrayal’ but no hawk moth comes out of hiding and just slams the piano shut shouting “adrien o thought you where better than this. Maybe if you spent less time playing hero and more time rehearsing your playing skills wouldn’t be equal to a ally cat” an now you’d also think chat would be shocked but no instead he just goes “maybe if you didn’t try destroy Paris every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at the exact same time for The past 3 years I’d have more time to rehearse “
Anyway these two are dramatic and the only way I could see a reveal working is if it’s soooo anti-climatic is comedic
