Reblogging with my tags cause why not.

Ok minor detail but ...

So I noticed in A:TLA, and it’s carried over in LoK, that Airbenders always seem to have an advantage in a fight. And at first, it felt like plot armour, particularly in A:TLA.

But when Aang fought Bumi, he lost most of that advantage. And I realised that this wasn’t just plot armour. Someone had sat and worked it out: nobody has had to fight Airbenders for generations. 

None of the other nations have had to train to face them, or practised sparring with them, or anything. Apart from Bumi, no bender in the show has ever even met an airbender before Aang comes along. And in LoK, for the most part people still haven’t. We never see fights between those who have (for e.g. we never see Tenzin and Lin fight); when Korra and Tenzin use airbending, its a unique fighting style that people aren’t trained to manage.

It’s a really small detail, and it fundamentally works to give the heroes an advantage (and make up for Aang’s young age and lack of combat experience), but I love how it’s an advantage in combat for completely logical reasons.

The detail in these shows is amazing.

Suggestion, the dragon is occassionally paid a sheep to set the castle on fire.

so funny that dragons have this reputation of Cruel Tyrants Ruling Over All when our whole thing is that we relentlessly fuck with whatever the nearest authority is. is the cruel tyrant the one who hangs out in her cave all day and occasionally steals some livestock and sets the castle on fire (it's fun to do this) or is it the one who makes everyone bow before him when he walks past on the street and beheads anyone who speaks out against him. maybe there's a good reason i set the castle on fire. well beyond the fact that it's fun to set things on fire

How'd it taste?

sorry to post facebook videos on main but the sound of jello going through an industrial shredder is both mesmerizing and horrible

It really is wild that some politicians can stand there and say "yeah we're getting rid of a program that keeps quite literally millions of people alive specifically so we can cut taxes for people who are already richer than god" as if it's a normal political stance and not so cartoonishly evil I'm legit shocked perry the platypus doesn't break through the nearest wall the minute the words leave their mouth.

He deserves the opportunity in every universe.

Myles&Jaster, or so Myles wishes. 🤣

This is all that Myles daydreams about, honestly.

[somestorythoughts]

#kat answers#contemplating adding myles/hunti just for giggles#because they're going to be so done and so over everything and i think they deserve to be that together 🥰#also then jaster gets to laugh at myles for also being into hot younger guys so. win-win

That would be delightful. Exasperated friends unite!

Also I love the way you write Myles and I think Jaster getting the opportunity to tease him would be funny.

super excited for Granta to go around telling everyone that his husband married and abandoned him when he was 16, I feel like he'd get a real kick out of it while Hunti's eye is just twitching in the background

That is exactly what Granta is going to do, and Hunti is probably going to find a nice corner of a cantina and drink himself under the table because of it.

Myles will definitely be joining him eventually, once Jaster starts to get Invested in this hot younger man who clearly needs to be rescued from his terrible circumstances by a knight Mando in shining armor.

omg I love it.

Shut out to the deisgner.

The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by Edward Gibbon

A great book spine design.

Call me whatever names you wish, but I think this is a much better (and healthier) attitude than “anyone under 18 should never be allowed to see any sexual imagery ever”

(For reference: this was at the Tom of Finland exhibition, containing actual, queer, kinky af pornography. There were definitely some young people there, perhaps in their late teens. There was even a parent with their baby who was probably too young to understand anything at all. And guess what, all those people are probably going to be fine.)

[ID: a sign saying “Please note: there is no age limit, but the exhibition is not recommended for children due to the explicit sexual imagery it contains. Parental or guardian discretion is advised.”]

They made a bet… Ferb won

[somestorythoughts]

On the one hand. PERHAPS YOU SHOULD CHECK WITH... lmfao

On the other. This ranges from "that is a good translation from swearing to professional not-swearing language" to "honey if this was a class and I was grading your translations I'd be getting out the red pen."

"I love the challenge" IS NOT AN ACCURATE TRANSLATION OF "this job sucks."

"would you want me to take care of this" SERIOUSLY??

I am twitching over here this is not consistent with the meaning of the first list ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
