quickly before i go to bed consider a remjax fake dating (kind of) au where some creep at a bar asks Rembrandt if she has a girlfriend and she says yes knowing Ajax is getting ready to intimidate the guy. And Cowgirl overhears and is like ohhh congrats and she tells everyone who’re very happy but also very much saying ‘finally’ and Ajax is just like hey what do you mean finally. Rembrandt what do they mean by finally. Rembrandt.

A couple of random Warriors headcanons

Cowgirl knows everything about everyone. If something goes down (not just within the Warriors but in Coney Island in general) she knows about it, this is actually the trait Cleon found the most useful about her before realising she could throw a punch

And therefore Cochise also knows everything bc Cowgirl just sits and tells her every detail about her day

I think the Warrior whose business Cowgirl knows the least about is Swan, which upsets her bc she also spends the least time with Swan (she goes on nights out the least) so she just feels guilty for not putting in as much effort with her

This is why she quickly warms to Mercy despite her prior reservations. She’s learning so much about Swan and Mercy doesn’t even realise she’s supplying her with information

Mercy keeps on asking Rembrandt to draw her, which obviously pisses her off. So when she does agree she just sits Mercy down for an hour while she works on an unrelated sketch, just to present Mercy with a very quick, crudely drawn sketch at the end

However, Mercy loves it because she feels it really captures her energy and she hangs it on her wall

Much later on Rembrandt has drawn many pictures of Mercy that she would consider to be good, but Mercy refuses to take down that first sketch. Much to Rembrandt’s disdain.

Rembrandt is the only Warrior to carry a bag around because obviously she can’t just be holding spray paint all night. However, this is very much also Ajax’s bag as she frequently puts her own things inside it

It is not uncommon to see Rembrandt stood like 🧍while Ajax unzips her backpack to retrieve something

Fox can cheat every claw machine in the arcades. To the point that she has a concerning amount of plushies just stacked up against her bedroom wall. She was planning on donating some but she couldn’t decide which of them she wanted to part with. So they’re just there

After, when the others are clearing out her room, they all pick one each to keep.

Cleon gave Mercy a shovel talk fairly quickly (because as much as she won’t admit it Swan is her favourite) but she actually ended up really liking Mercy, to the point where she actually told Swan that she had to make sure she treat her well so as to not fumble her

Cochise and Cowgirl do a lot of shit talking, Mercy is desperate to be let into these conversations

There are many critiques against the legend of korra, but korra, as a person/character, is not any one of them

You can talk lore clashes and contradictions, mischaracterizing atla characters, lack of cohesion throughout the seasons, pacing, underutilizing the secondary characters, not enough time spent learning about korra as a person, power scaling issues, but, (and nearly all of this was due to shit management on nickelodeon's end), korra's personality, her drive, her frustration, her pain, her guilt, korra as a character and as an avatar, that was done well.

Especially the way they portrayed her mental health struggles, the way she self isolated, got into destructive behaviour, how it haunted her, it gutted me when I watched it as a child and it guts me now.

One quote I think that lives in me, "I'm so tired, katara."

It was raw, it was emotional, and as someone with shit mental health, I feel seen.

Korra and the show had the raw materials to carry through the legacy of aang (though I'm sure even then she would be scrutinised and critised and villianized) and to a decent extent they did, in the eyes of my child self as well as in my eyes now knowing the context, but it was butchered and maimed through the budget cuts, and uncertainty about its future, and rushed writing and various other intentional or unintentional decisions by nickelodeon that restricted the creators and writers from fleshing out the plot and world and characters the way they did with atla.

Reat in peace, Korra and The Legend of Korra

"Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

You were bigger than the whole sky

You were more than just a short time

And I've got a lot to pine about

I've got a lot to live without

I'm never gonna meet

What could've been, would've been

What should've been you"

- Bigger Than the Whole Sky by Taylor Swift

The hatred towards Korra is terrible and why is it always the Aang stans who hate Korra so much?? I think out of all the characters, Aang has got to have the most toxic fans. I was on TikTok and saw sooo many users with Aang icons calling Korra the n-word. Wtf?? 😭

So glad I'm not on that side of tiktok 😭🙏

Honestly, aang himself would love korra, how she helped repopulate the air nation, how she was just a stumbling teenager raised in captivity, who was expected to be this god-like saviour for mankind.

Both of them found out they were the avatar earlier than they should've, and it's so interesting how their differing reactions show two sides of that responsibility

People who hate korra as a person fail to understand that the point of the avatar is that at the end of the day they are human, and one singular individual, regardless of their skills and power, cannot bear the blade of impartiality alone.

It's really sad that the production issues during tlok hugely affected the story of the avatar universe, especially since critics were looking for even the slightest bruise to punch and atla set a really high standard and expectation.

I'm hopeful for the new story, assuming that the original writers will be involved and that the same love with which they crafted avatar the last airbender carries through.

Uh mentally ill dark humor ahead

The post itself is really a one liner but check tw if you don't want to raw dog it 👍

The devil couldn't reach me so he gave me mental health related weight fluctuations

A huge issue with arcane season 2 is that so many characters feel like plot devices. Their relevance is noticed only by the very few that dissect the show to its frames, which deviates wildly from season 1, where the intricacies of the story telling were much more accessible, which allowed it to reach a wider audience.

This is something that I find very disappointing, considering the nuance of background characters from season 1 that wasn't granted to season 2. The most irritating victim of this for me is Isha, as she was introduced as a pretty relevant character, but her effects on the plot and on the characters goes mostly unexplored, exchanged for the viktor plotline, which is a huge loss, thematically as well as in characterization.

This I think further fuels my point that arcane should've had a third season, with the plotlines from season 2 expanded and given more substance, including the relevance of background characters that were presented with too much potential to be cast aside for convenience.

WHERE DID THEY SUDDENLY COME FROM?WHAT WAS THERE PURPOSE BESIDES TEMPORALLY EXISTING AND DIEING? MADE TO BE SEEMINGLY INTERESTING BUT NOTHING COMING FROM IT.
