I sometimes wonder when the day will come when, as a society, we consume content critically and without falling into the extremes of demonizing those who have a different opinion.

My pookie Kuvira is my baby and I love her, her personality, her decline from a mass leader to someone blinded by her lust for power and revenge against life, and personally, my baby deserved the death penalty for all her crimes against human rights, not just house arrest.

But Kuvira remains a fictional character. We can criticize her actions and raise awareness, but canceling a character will not end fascism.

We are not free from anything, José Arcadio Buendía... we ended up raising a monster.

(An Úrsula Iguarán's translated dialogue from the Netflix adaptation of One Hundred Years of Solitude).

I really feel like this is something Suyin and Kuvira's birth mother could have said to their respective partners when they saw what Kuvira became.

Especially since both Colonel Aureliano Buendía and Kuvira were military leaders.

I sometimes wondered what Kuvira's biological parents would have thought when they saw their daughter become a dictator.

They handed her over to Suyin's care because they didn't know what else to do. She almost killed her mother in a fit of rage and in RotE she did not accompany Kuvira's father to take her to Zaofu.

I especially think of her mother. Imagine holding your baby without knowing what she will become. Imagine being almost killed by your little daughter. What must she have felt when she saw everyone bow to Kuvira? She thought Su could lead her down a better path, but in the end Kuvira did what she did because she felt abandoned and unloved.

I can't help but think that Kuvira's biological mother feels guilty for everything Kuvira did. And I can't help but think of Azula saying that her mother thought she was a monster and "was right". Maybe Kuvira thought the same thing.

Once, while watching an analysis of Kuvira, I remember seeing someone say, "Fascism is 'daddy issues' made into ideology." Well, Kuvira's ideology was, roughly summarized, Mommy Issues made into ideology.

It's the question I ask myself every night...

I am very curious of why military dictators have such a chokehold on the sapphics

Friend~?

My biggest challenge as someone whose hobby is writing is that I don't feel comfortable with either the print format with a single text without separations or the fanfic format with short paragraphs. The first one makes me dizzy and with the second one I don't know how to separate the paragraphs 😔

The actress who plays Rebeca Buendía in the Netflix adaptation of One Hundred Years of Solitude, Akima, reminds me a lot of Mako and Bolin's mother.

Rebeca was considered a woman of extraordinary beauty.

Just the other day I was telling a friend that if Varrick created cinema, he also created porn cinema.

Imagine him trying to "boost the morale" of the soldiers with something like that 😭 "Sácate una pa' imaginarme la otra" moment

Idk why this scene is so funny to me out of context

It looks like the beginning of a shitty porno. Baatar is sitting so zestily.

I'm actually crying why did they put him in the cuck chair he looks so uncomfortable

GET HIM OUT OF THERE

Just yesterday I was watching B2 and literally Mako and Korra were feeding each other in a super cheesy way

okay so i know how much we adore Grumpy Mako but i want to call attention to something i’ve noticed during a rewatch of books 1&2

mako is actually superrrr physically affectionate with the people he dates. he’s cuddling and hugging asami, cradling korra in his arms, blowing kisses to asami during a pro bending match, feeding korra cotton candy by hand. like, the guy doesn’t mind some PDA

so what i’m saying - i want more sappy, cuddly mako in wuko fics

I keep thinking about an AU where Amon is the final tlok villain

I was tagged by @beifongboars 💗

Last Song: CAFé CON RON - Bad Bunny ft. Pleneros de la Cresta. I can't stop listening to it on loop.

Favourite colour: Carmine. I love cool, dark, bright reds.

Sweet/Spicy/Savoury: It depends on the day, but in general I tend to prefer salty food.

Relationship Status: Single.

Last Book: I've been reading fragments of One Hundred Years of Solitude lately. I'd like to buy the book soon, whether it's physical or digital.

Last thing I googled: "cafe con ron bad bunny generos". Esa ortografía, uff 🚬🚬🚬

Last movie: Sonic 3. I didn't understand anything and maybe there was nothing to understand.

Current Obsession: I think they are three obsessions that fight each other and go hand in hand at the same time. One Hundred Years of Solitude (and magical realism in general). Bad Bunny's new album, DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS (and any song that mixes modern music with traditional rhythms). And my ocxcanon with Kuvira, I'm thinking of making my OC a cousin of Wu, so I'm looking for HC of him everywhere.

Looking Forward To: I want to watch the One Hundred Years of Solitude series, but I don't have Netflix 🥹

Tagging: I don't know who I tagged. So anyone who sees this!

THE LAST ONE

Do you have any wuko headcanons?

Okay time to gay dump

Okay so I like to imagine Wu hired Mako solely bc he saw a picture of him in the paper and oh wait that’s canon

I like AUs where Mako is Wu’s bodyguard and has to constantly bridal carry him away from danger oh wait that’s canon

alright real headcanons

I think they got together a little while after the Kuvira incident because Wu (probably tearfully it’s Wu) that he wants Mako to keep being his bodyguard because Wu doesn’t know how else to keep him around

Mako: I mean… we could try dinner?

Of everyone in Team Avatar, Mako is the last to know he’s Wu’s boyfriend

I’ve said before that Korra’s oblivious ass is useless here so I think Bolin and Asami have to help Mako catch on

Asami: So are you excited for your date at Kwong’s?

Mako: it wasn’t a date don’t be ridiculous

Bolin: oh then can we come?

Mako: what no

they come

Asami: so you guys have gotten really close since you were his bodyguard huh? Almost like brothers :)

Mako: what ew that’s super not it we just hang out a lot one on one because we enjoy each other’s company and like to go to nice places together but it’s not like me and Bolin it’s more like you and Korra oh my god

Asami, Bolin, and Wu: [look into the camera like they’re on the office]

Wu moves in with Mako in Republic City once the Earth Kingdom monarchy is formally dissolved

They still live in Mako’s place but Wu is still rich so they live Good

Wu starts to collab on movers with Varrick and on one occasion coerced Mako into appearing naked in one and he became famous overnight

It’s been a long time since… oh no, this is my 1st Wuko fanart actually! 0-0

Vaguely horny Kuviren incorrect quotes, in honour of (belated) Kuviren Day :D

My dogs my beloved dogs!! The first line of beastial spirit vine soldiers from my LoK AU. Created by Baatar when during experimentation, he discovered the spirit energy after being condensed causes the vines to react strangely to machinery and processed material. Turning the inorganic to organic.

These soldiers are comprised of spirit vines that have mutated in reaction to the condensed activated spirit energy and adhered themselves to the suits. Similar to "mimics" in a way, they can conceal their mouths fully so they're indistinguishable from human soldiers, though very astute earthbenders may notice they neither breathe nor have a heartbeat.
