As we see a barrage of evil executive orders come in, they are not immediately enforceable and will takes months or years to implement.

That’s still not great, but don’t let these pile up to the point of hopelessness. Take a breath, and look community leaders who will fight it every step of the way.

it’s ok to want to be comfortable. It’s ok to want to be well fed and not in pain and warm and well rested. It’s ok to fantasize about medical devices and medications and treatments that could make you more comfortable. Wanting to be comfortable is not a sin.

This links to a wheel with nearly a hundred fic tropes for plots, settings, and more. Spin it twice.

This could also work with art inspiration, but the buttons only allow for so many characters on them. And please do ramble in the tags! I'm going to have no idea what most of you are talking about, and it's going to be great.

Thinking about the fight in Ba Sing Se. There's a moment when Zuko first comes in when he looks between Azula and Aang. In that moment, Aang also looked at him, and he doesn't look at him like an enemy, he looks like he's waiting because he is. He's waiting for Zuko to make a choice between him and Azula, and you're literally shown the second he realizes Zuko is choosing Azula, because he panics, almost surprised by this.

It got me thinking about it and I realized this is a call back to the fight they had in the abandoned town during The Chase. There too, Zuko came in in the middle of a confrontation between Aang and Azula, then too there was a period of time in which Zuko looked between Azula and Aang, making a decision on who to attack, and he attacked Azula. He took Aang's side. He and Aang (and co. as they come in) work together against Azula.

Now, was this because he really 'sided' with Aang? No. It was because Zuko needed Aang for himself, and Aang knows this. This has happened before, during the blue spirit, where the two of them work together, not because Zuko is defending Aang, but because he needs him for himself. There's been an established pattern that, while Zuko and Aang are enemies, any third player becomes a common enemy, and they work together against that person. If there is a third threat, Aang and Zuko are on the same team (and there's a twisted kind of companionship in that, relying on someone to have your back because you know they want to be the one to defeat you).

During Ba Sing Se, Zuko once again enters. It's the same scene, and I think part of Aang expected the same thing to happen, but it doesn't. Zuko picks Azula's side, and Aang was surprised (and might I even say betrayed?) by this.

"Back off Azula, he's mine." Aang took those words to heart, and Zuko went back on them.

Congratulations! You are the new sidekick to a DC or Marvel superhero. Spin the wheel to determine who your mentor is. (NO RE-SPINS)

Assume you will have a similar superpower or will learn a similar skill set (for the non-powered heroes) as your mentor or one of your mentor's canon sidekicks (dealer's choice) so you aren't completely screwed.

I wish DC had the guts to have any consequences for Scarab War and I especially want to see a Blue Beetle vs Spectre round two now that Khaji has killed someone

Me: You know how when you were a kid and you’d wish that you’d get sick or injured in a way that would justify why you didn’t live up to your potential?

Everybody, apparently: No?

Zuko's unkillability should be utilized more in post canon. Every fire lord Zuko headcanon is all "poor Zuko, having to deal with so many assassination attempts, this boy is hanging on by a thread." But listen, my guy has already survived being burned, blown up, electrocuted, fought three agni kais, faced the Avatar numerous times. It becomes something of a meme in the FN that no one can kill the firelord so you shouldn't even try, Zuko ends up surviving increasingly elaborate and unlikely assassination attempts. He develops an immunity to poison after having been poisoned so many times. He's just like "huh, you thought THAT would kill me?" at this point.
