The Rebirth B-Team that we deserved...
#i'll never stop being mad about what they did to my boy wedge............... >:(((#AHEM anyway. little minor redesigns to fit with rebirth biggs!#it's the subtle things that count. like letting zack show off those sexy sexy shoulders.#wedge took one of his pauldrons off because that's what cloud did and he thinks that cloud is cool and awesome and amazing and badass#idea: cloud gets shot in the jenova injection site in his arm and it destroys the parasite before it can spread.........#still dealing with the mako poisoning though. plus relearning how to do literally anything after being in a coma for a couple of years#gave him a rifle bc he's a good shot!! and also because i think the rocking chair grandma with a shotgun vibe is SUPER important for him#it's about that country boy thang.#ffvii#cloud strife#zack fair#wedge ff7#wedge#biggs ff7#jessie rasberry#my art <3#not pictured yet: kunsel and cissnei dlc where they team up to rescue sonon from deepground 🤔

Tlok is so weird about abuse, particularly when their female charcters are abusive towards their male characters.
Like Eska's abuse by Bolin was played completely for comedy. Despite him being shown as clearly uncomfortable, and crying on multiple occasions.
This is especially upsetting because Bolin has been shown as being a rather vulnerable individual with trouble setting healthy boundaries and an aversion to saying 'no'. But even when he does actively express his discomfort and attempts to end the relationship, his autonomy is violated and he is literally forcefully engaged to Eska. And we are supposed to laugh.
He is shown to be so traumatised by the experience that he still actively panics when shown even a picture of Eska and is clearly very hurt that Mako didn't offer him more help in the situation. Which is honestly understandable.
Speaking of which, Mako and Korra's relationship in B2 was... troubled to say the least. Now, Korra had a lot on her plate and was rightfully stressed by the events happening. However, it seemed that she often took her stress out on Mako, getting into arguments with him and yelling at him.
She kicked his fucking desk across the room. While Mako may have upset her by going behind her back and ratting her out to Raiko, but this is no way to react. But we are supposed to be annoyed and angry with Mako, and we are meant to see Korra reacting so violently as justified. [While I don't like Mako's actions in B2 he didn't deserve this.]
This is not helped in the slightest after Lin enters the scene, and comments on thw mess, saying that he 'got off easy'. And she implies that she committed even more property damage after Tenzin broke up with her.
Ah, Lin. I think while Korra and Eska's actions toward Mako and Bolin have been called out sometimes, we tend to overlook how fucking horrifying what we're told about Lin's reaction to Tenzin breaking up with her is.
Because, if we think about this for a little, this is a scary situation. Lin is a very strong and physical person who has been shown to be quick to violence. Air Temple Island is Tenzin's home, and the home of multiple Air Acolytes, full of fragile artifacts that we are shown that he values tremendously and for which he feels personally responsible for.
Ans it's honestly hard to believe that Lin didn't know this about Tenzin, since they persumably have known each other for a while. I wouldn't be terribly surprised if she damaged the temple because she knew it would hurt him.
And it's understandable that this wasn't presented as a very morally wrong thing to do, since the 'crazy ex girlfriend' isn't an unpopular trope in comedy, but it is damaging. Since it plays women doing genuinely scary and upsetting things towards men for comedy, therefore making it more difficult to take such behaviour seriously.
But hey, I guess we can kinda pretend that Lin most likely damaging Air Temple Island with earthbending is comparable to egging someone's house or keying their car. So let's let that slide.
Oh yeah, she also abused her position as chief of police in order to try and get rid of a romantic rival.
Which is extremely fucked up, especially with how Lin presents herself as extremely professional and serious about her job, yet she apparently used it to terrorise a woman for 'stealing' her partner. What kind of bunny boiler shit is this.
And all of these scenes presenting Lin as a vengeful, borderline abusive ex to Tenzin are presented as comedic, further driving tlok's most likely unintentional message of normalising female on male abuse. It's not as in your face as Eska's abuse of Bolin, to the point that without the context of Eska and Korra's behaviour, I wouldn't really point Lin out, but with this context, you can't help but consider it.
Once is by chance. Twice is a coincidence. Three times is a pattern.
And I hate to make this argument, but if the genders were reversed in these situations?
If a boy were pressuring a young, emotionally vulnerable girl into marriage, treating her as his slave, manhandling her, getting angry when she speaks to a male friend?
If a young man were to scream at his girlfriend multiple times and go so far as to throw her desk across a room?
If a male policeman implied he caused severe property damage at his ex girlfriend's house after she broke up with him and if he tried to use his status to arrest her new partner? (you know, actually 40% of cops are- *gets shot*)
I feel like we'd have a completely different perspective.
While male on female abuse is still often stigmatised and overlooked, I still think that Eska, Korra and Lin's actions would be scrutinised more closely and reacted to more negatively if they were men. Concurrently, I think we would treat Bolin, Mako and Tenzin with more leniency and gave them more of the benefit of the doubt had they been women.
I want to think that this wasn't a message that was presented on purpose, but it's still one of my least favourite aspects of tlok and I genuinely dislike the part of the fandom that trivialises these actions by Korra, Lin and Eska.
#ah yes tlok book 2#or as I like to call it: the bending brothers getting abused book#i could make a post about how Lin's tendency to use physical force and h3r station as police officer for her own gain makes me UNCOMFY#but do i want to do that#also can we talk about how mako keeps getting nonconsesnually kissed by women what did he do#avatar#legend of korra#tlok#the legend of korra#avatar the legend of korra#atlok#lok#bolin#eska#mako#korra#lin beifong#tenzin

I love kill la kill. I love how seriously it takes itself. I love that it is the most unserious show I've ever seen. I love how it somehow tricks you into getting deeply invested in a genuinely philosophical battle against the very concept of clothing. I love that it does this by showing you big titty anime girl fights with animation that rivals every other show I've ever seen. I love the lesbians. I love how it fails in its concept at times, and I love how much it succeeds. I love every dumb plot twist. I love that the villains genuinely do fucked up, unforgivable shit. I love the commentary on the nature of fascism and its relation to fashion. I love every dumb joke. I love how they made an 8 foot tall muscle man who's obsessed with discipline and school regulations and then made him a giant fucking masochist with a pain kink. I love that they made that one guys nipples glow pink for literally no reason. I love the insightful commentary on the social construct of nudity and what being naked really means, and how our bodies are morally neutral. I love the dick jokes. I fucking love this show.
#kill la kill#ryuko matoi#this show genuinely shaped me as a person I think#it has its faults#so so many faults#but I cannot help but love it it is the highest camp#I hate how it gets the reputation of “Oh that show about nearly naked highschool girls fighting each other in lingerie”#cuz like...you're technically correct#but she's so much more to me#you don't understand her like I do#it's about FASCISM and NUDITY and SEXUALITY and FAMILY and ACCEPTANCE and GROWING UP and also aliens somehow???#and also sometimes it's about highschoolers in lingerie fighting each other#to be fair#mako mankanshoku#satsuki kiryuin#ragyo kiryuin#nui harime#matoi ryuuko

It required two ladders and a makeshift scaffold to pull off, but we finally hung the incredible Mass Effect travel posters created by @legionofpotatoes.
I am SO EXCITED to have them up. They look incredible!!!
Photos of the scaffold under the cut, for the curious. It was hard and we are proud. XD
#mass effect#mass effect travel posters#adventures with swaps#once we got the scaffold up#we asked the question#'so how do we get ON the scaffold?'#to which i suggested shimmying along the narrow ledge of the bannister and stepping across the staircase onto the scaffold#to which RLRO replied NOPE DON'T LIKE THAT#and i said 'well i've done dumber shit than that getting on a horse so hold my beer'#and it WORKED#and no one DIED#and they look SO GOOD!#aaaaaahhhhhhh i am so excited#virmire and future travel posters will go in a different spot#this entire house is going to be a travel brochure for the milky way#people who visit us can just play 'spot the mako' all day#it's gonna be great

Aang couldn't do what she did and Korra couldn't do what Aang did but they're both valid.

Haven’t read avatar tales or the lost adventures yet.
But I read (most of) the ATLA comics!
Spoilers
Approx Timeline Order:
Katara and the Pirate's Silver mid. Honestly. The pirates are cool and all but it didn't really add much for me. 4/10
Suki, Alone was actually a really good addition to the plot line! It explained a lot and it did a pretty good job in the short comic style. Wish Kyoshi actually showed up more for her tho? She had like one speaking line that was echoing what Suki was already saying then she was Gone 6/10
The Promise was boring honestly. Zuko was the bad guy again?? Only thing I remember is it started to shake up Aang’s “the four nations need to remain separate to be in balance” ideals. Establishes Yu Dao as an old fire nation colony and how life there has changed over 100 years. Also Katara being��� soft about Aang’s promise to End Zuko even tho she fucking told him straight up in the show if he stepped out of line she would kill him. 3/10
The Search, god Ursa is so unwell and honestly Azula gets it from her 100% they blame Ozai but it’s also gotta be Ursa too. Azula having complete mental breakdown. The continued influence of Ozai on the kids and the fire nation was a good set up. Ursa literally putting Zukos life on the line to prove Ozai was intercepting her letters to home she wasn’t supposed to be sending anyway was insane. Giant face and memory stealing spirit who said she would only give out one favor but ending up giving out like four? Amazing. Aang’s negotiating skills 0% helpful. Serving me a PTSD milf on a silver platter who’s made some awful choices. 10/10
The Rift I’m going to be very honest I am so sad we didn’t get to see more of the acolytes in this one. (And I’m UPSET we didn’t see any older one of the original acolytes covering their tattoos in LOK that would have been an amazing plot point.) TOPH!!!! God Toph rocked in this one. And go Poppy for dumping Lao’s ass lmao, sad we didn’t see her tho. Gonna be honest I didn’t clock in this one that the valley was where RC was built. Basic story, cool bending, and possibly Suyins father?? Idk after seeing it I’d be convinced. CABBAGE MAN!!! My truest fave lmao loved the overt shots of him deciding to get Cabbage Corp up and running. It would have been cool if they mentioned that one in Imbalance tho as a facility. Also seeing Yangchen!! 6/10
Macha Makers iroh gets a crushhh and also spirits work with him like it’s after LoK b2? Very cool. It’s pretty good for one of the free comic shorts 6/10
Toph Beifong’s Metalbending Academy honestly not much happens in this one. Suki is adorable. We see a lava bender named Sun and we Never See them AGAIN 3/10
Smoke and Shadow this one FUCKED SO HARD my godddd my PTSD MILF on a silver platter. Azula being so unwell and Kiyi fucking nailing firebending poses she saw Zuko do once and escaped the cell with all the kids. Tom Tom is adorable. Mai and Ty Lee bonding moments my godddd 10/10
Azula and the Spirit Temple gosh this one was pretty good. Loved the spirit tho a hope to see more of that haunting thing if we ever get an ending to azula’s story. Azula having a spirit lead mental breakdown? 8/10
North and South oh god. This one was basically LoK b2 all over again. How many time are these guys gonna fight?? And tbh I ALSO don’t like how in LoK the south looked like a mini replica of the Northern tribe. So seeing the explanation of why and then it kinda just being allowed was not fun. I feel like they could have done something more than recycle a LoK plot line but okay whatever. 2/10
Imbalance 😒 talk about recycled plot lines. How many water benders are going to try to pit benders and non benders against eachother? Bad guy was almost cool. A good bit of set up for how Cranetown actually grew into Republic City, it would be nice if LoK incorporated the original spirits of that valley tho. Especially when the portal opened. Art was amazing and Toph going undercover then immediately blowing that cover was amazing. if the bad guy here or Any of the set up was mentioned in LoK and it was expanded upon here it would be better. Like if Amon referenced Liling as part of the reason the Equalists formed. I know this is the problem with pre-quils 4/10
Not in timeline order:
The Bounty Hunter and the Tea Brewer iroh redemption arch for the worst directing choices made for him in the show? Yup. Gives June a good ending. Actually kinda like the set up of the tea cartel. Over all a nice short story. 6/10
Lost and Found very short story about Toph being good with kids?? Very cute. 7/10
#ang has opinions#I may be wrong#love to hear from you guys#AtLA comic#idk if I wanna go through each story in the tales and adventures compilations with a rating?#maybe.#will be doing LoK comics next?#maybe after the mako one comes out#if it has more Lin#don’t get me started on the novels#I don’t know how to read lmao#edit: added two lmao#forgot some

i hate how most ppl in the raincode fandom feminizes (mostly makoto) and infantilizes makoto n yuma. and for some ppl, they do those two things , while ALSO sexualizing them. it fucking pisses me off
#idk how to word this (esp the feminization of makoto thing. i just cant find a proper word for it but it feels like it)#i cant fully translate it from my head but yeah#admittedly starting to dislike the character just because of the fanarts#mako barely gets content round here and if he does#its alwyas just him being sexualized. along with yuma#i cant fully explain it but they always make him act feminine#AGH IDK#rant rant rant#mina's yapfest

Been thinking about pacific rim lately and... do pilots know whose memories are whose. Do they ever forget what's theirs and what's not. Does one ever remember and the other doesn't. Like has one of then ever said "on my fifth birthday, my mom-" and without missing a beat the other goes "that's my birthday. On yours-" and the other one just smiles at them.
Where do the lines blur.
#I've been having pacific rim thoughts lately#Because my friend learned that it's my favourite movie#And she said “really? But it's just mechs fighting kaiju”#I just couldn't articulate all the thoughts this site and ao3 has given me about it#How do I explain coherently it's a movie about love#And also how terribly I want to have someone and we know each other so well that the only explanation is that we are mentally melded#She was also surprised when I said you basically have to squint to see any romance in the movie#We were talking about Raleigh and Mako specifically#Like yeah they love each other. But to see it as romantic you really do have to tilt your head a little bit#Not even getting into the little gay scientists lol#pacific rim
