Read "Suki, Alone". Liked it in general. But can they please, please hire someone who knows both the show's actual events and how to follow through on a character arc? Because guys. Guys. That comic is not implying about Suki what they meant it to be implying, and all because of literally one line.

So like. From a writer's standpoint:

What they meant to do: show Suki as a community-oriented person who cares for her people, and believes in everyone succeeding together.

As opposed to (spoilers): the thief girl they set her up in contrast with, who's pretty upfront and consistent on primarily looking out for herself. She betrays Suki for one (1) corn chip to improve her own life at the prison, no surprise.

But the problem is: they give Suki an inspirational line to the effect of "we're all working together and we'll all break out together"

You know

The thing she does not do in the show

So if both the show and this comic are canon, then instead of setting up a compare/contrast with the thief girl, they've just set up a comparison. One were Suki is arguably worse, because she's been leading a significant number of prisoners on with her "we'll all fight and win our freedom together!" business, only to straight up cut them out of the escape loop and abandon them, whereas the thief is only leading Suki on in the sense that Suki keeps telling her what it's morally correct to think and confuses snide replies with agreement

My dudes. My fellow writers. You people actually being paid for this. There were so many ways to fix those awful implications against our girl's character, the simplest of which would be to not include that line. Or they could have, you know, made it canon compliant with what actually happens in the show, so that this comic doesn't set Suki up as a betrayer instead of a community builder. Like... just send all her good prison buddies off to other prisons in the wake of the warden finding out they're colluding. Have it timed to be right before the next new prisoners arrive, thus setting it immediately before the Boiling Rock episodes, so Suki didn't have anyone left in the prison she'd want to take with her on a breakout. For bonus points, include a page or two of her and her Kyoshi warriors opening up the cell of one of her prison friends post-war, thus implying she's tracking down and actually fulfilling her promises. Maybe even show her doing the same with thief girl, who was established as being imprisoned on false charges anyway, and also showing that Suki is A) the bigger person, and B) willing to acknowledge her own role in mistakes (because I cannot emphasize enough how much thief girl was not hiding her own priorities, and it was Suki who approached HER with all this, not the girl ever doing anything special to weasel her way in) (this would also open up an opportunity for paralleling Suki's earlier in-comic mistake of not listening to one of her friend's very valid thoughts and feeling, which lead to the girl leaving their island alone pre-canon; a "seeing people as they are, not what you want them to be" moment)

Anyway yeah enjoyable enough for a quick read but another one for the "this can't be canon or the characters are So Much Worse than they were in the actual show" pile

At least Aang didn't promise to murder anyone in this one

#I also have minor critiques like #Why are all the guards drawn as short and noodly-armed as Sokka pretending to be a guard #Why are the guards the only ones allowed to have funny lines #Did anyone consider using a lack of dialogue in some panels to establish mood and let the visuals speak for themselves (no they did not)#Why is Azula villain monologuing for so long at the start #She does like her villain lines but in the show they're short #And generally aimed at fresh opponents #Not last week's old news #I kept wondering why Azula was even there instead of generic lackeys especially since she had to have been dealing with the conquest of #Ba Sing Se around then. big This Could Have Been An Email vibes #Also as a gardener #HOW FAST WERE THOSE PRISON PLANTS GOING TO SEED AND WHERE CAN I GET SOME #Apparently they needed minimal (almost no?) light and tiny cracks of space and were nutritious and tasted good raw and grew so fast they #Could substantially affect the diets of multiple prisoners within a short time span?#I WANT THEM IN MY INDOOR SETUP ASAP #Screw lettuce I want Suki's Magic Beans #avatar the last airbender #atla #Suki #There continue to be no comics in Ba Sing Se but this was a better attempt than some #Suki Alone

In a video of the moment the banner unfurled, Truss says: "I support trump and I want him to win... But the, it's what I was saying about incumbents, i think the average American is not doing well and people do vote on..."

Then, the banner begins to unfurl. First showing the words "I crashed the economy," as the former Prime Minister continues, unaware: "I think it was Bill Clinton's adviser who said its the economy stupid, so I think that he will probably win."

Truss, whose radical and uncosted plan for the economy saw the cost of people's mortgages skyrocket, forcing her to resign, can be seen silently fuming as the hosts attempt to figure out where the banner came from.

Gathering her things, the former PM says quietly, "That's not funny", and walked off stage.

#jegus Liz there’s losing to a lettuce and then there’s supporting Donald’s Trump by actually speaking at a pro-Trump event #that’s genuinely more embarrassing

The struggle of being the nonfurry of the friend group is that your girlfriend will assign you bunny for petplay purposes and then you get high and eat a whole large bowl of chopped lettuce while high at a family gathering and the press has a field day about how you’re not beating the allegations

#the goddess speaks #men dni #It’s not my fault it was really good lettuce

My mother has decided she does not like Psych because Spencer is "too arrogant and lies".

My mother has also decided she likes House because House "while arrogant, tells the truth"

#So basically how honest is the character is a determining factor in if she likes them #Need to find the most honest character possible who also is just a lil gremlin a lil evil boy a lil criminal #Psych #Shawn Spencer #House MD #Gregory House #Also like this is my first time watching House so I cannot say his behavior in later seasons we are only in season 1 #LIKE MOTHER HE IS POPPING PILLS AND YOU'RE CHILL WITH THAT BUT LYING GETS YOU LMAOOOO #I wonder if I decided to do the 'devils lettuce' if she'd even care as long as I was honest....lmaooooo #Hello I'm speaking here
