I love drawing Aris as sif so much she's so cutsies. It almost makes up for the horrors of having to draw her as sif. Almost.
#rat rambles#eternal gales#stars posting#I will live in a state of not rly understanding everyone's hatred of lineart until I do sprite redraws#I get it now. this is hell#it doesnt help that I have to improv poses and expressions and stuff a thing that Im not good enough at style emulation to do well#I was going to try to do all of sifs battle portraits with aris but Im like 3 hours in and only done with 5 of them I am not strong enough#tbf in theory the rest after the first 7 shouldnt be as bad since I can just edit the first ones but I dont wannaaaaa#I Do have ideas tho. alas.#Ive just been thinking oh so hard abt her expressions throughout the acts#also abt her going through the horrors in general#for the first two acts she isnt smilely like sif is instead having a very determined look#but after that she becomes a lot more like. innitentive I guess?#basically imagine she's like completely stuck in her own head at that point and is barely processing the things around her#she also gets her only smile within this set being her buff/heal animation where she puts on a fake smile to try to meet her pretend#shes ok and paying attention quota#its not helping. its only making the others worry more.#I have the least ideas for act 5 but I think it'd be fun to maybe have her actually make eye contact with the camera for those?#shes looking off center for all her other ones so I think itd help set the tone of oh god fucked up shit is happening#also she tends to mask more when stressed so.#in general its just very fun thinking abt the ways aris would handle things differently than sif#for one she doesnt have as many side quests where she gets nosy and regrets it due to a mix of her being so fixated on solving the loops#and her just generally being bad at reading most ppl leading her to not rly noticing or caring abt stuff that sif would#mainly she doesnt get the confession side quest despite sier still trying every loop because she didn't rly realize how important it was to#sier and just sorta assumed it was not that important in the grand scheme of things#but she Does have a similar side quest with mase where she gets to have a self hatred spiral <3#in the house shed sometimes catch mase secretly pick some stuff up when shes not looking and if she asks at the end hed say that he was#going to make something but didnt get everything he needed. this leads aris to assume itd be some tool or weapon or smth like the bomb#so if she went around and found all the spots where he collects stuff in one loop shed be able to ask again and he'd reveal he wanted to#make matching bracelets for everyone. and aris would get frustrated and upset and then freak out because she got mad and spiral

(Abo anon again) (if I'm getting annoying just lmk I'll stop lmfao) I know weve established ford is an obsessed little maniac over stanley but I'm curious what about STAN? Is he fantasizing about his brother in the same way ford was? WAS he thinking about ford when he first presented and hating himself for it? While ford is in the basement fantasizing about dominating stan, stan is upstairs doing the same thing. Wondering how ford would react if his omega brother put him in his place?
Or is this something thats never really crossed stans mind? Is stan just so desperate for his brothers affection and attention after all these years that yknow what? If THIS is how ford needs to love him hell go with it. Stans morals are skewed to all hell and living through an apocalypse, getting your mind wiped kind of puts things like "incest is morally bad" on the backburner. sure he can fuck ford sometimes it really doesnt matter to him how he shows his love
I don't even know what I'm saying anymore I'm just rambling at this point lmfao
you're not annoying at all, anon, i love these!! but yes yes i am following your vision. i was born to understand you. it was killing me that i had to be productive yesterday and didn't have time to sit down with this! that's probably why i, yet again, got WELL AWAY FROM MYSELF and have put a cut below to save your dashboards. as a warning, this is longer than the ford answer.
cause gosh it's SUCH a good question. i think stan has Complicated Feelings about all of it. and i also think that while ford tells himself he's separate from the secondary gender expectations and bullshit, stan is the one who actually IS. or he's at least a lot more self aware of it all. ford packed up all his internalizations and took them into the multiverse and never really had to address any of it whereas stan has run the gamut on primary AND secondary identities and has a much better grasp on and them and himself in the grand scheme of things (no pun intended) because of it.
i think when stan finally presented, that was the first time his more-than-brotherly-love feelings for ford were put front and center in his head. like it may have been something he was vaguely aware of, but he'd never given it much attention (becaue if you ignore it it'll go away right?). but then going into heat for the first time??
yeah, by then he and ford are pretty newly separated from each other, and a lot of the hurt is still really fresh, BUT. ford is also one of the only alphas stan has ANY positive associations with at this point in his life, putting their last interactions aside. and he definitely tells himself that's the only reason why he spends most of his heat thinking about him. that's biology right?? going into heat and obsessing over alpha dick or whatever.
but then, for better or worse, stan doesn't really have a lot of time to dwell on all that anyway. cause he definitely spent at least some time on his own as a beta first, started getting a rough idea of what it meant, how to make it work, what was dangerous. but after presenting??? turns out there's a pretty noticeable difference between making due as a homeless beta teenager vs a homeless omega teenager that starts making itself known REAL FAST.
so stan has to figure some shit out, fast, and daydreaming about any coulda woulda shouldas -- if he'd presented earlier, or hadn't fucked up so bad, or had been given a real shot at defending himself? well that kinda shit just hurts more than it helps, so he doesn't think about it and instead focuses on taking care of himself. cause nobody else is gonna do it, and he learns the hard way not to trust anyone who claims they will.
in the ensuing years, while stan is shilling snakeoil products and jumping state lines, most of that is still from conning folks. but he definitely skipped town more than once for being caught out as an omega when he runs into trouble getting a hold of the right meds. and sure, he has good reason to do it after the shit he's dealt with and done, the threat that comes with being a vulnerable person already and adding that degree of additional vulnerability on top of it.
but i do also like to think that at least once, the omega thing drives him out of town for a different reason. like maybe reconnecting with carla mccorkle or meeting and starting something that might actually be nice with jimmy snakes. point is, stan does find a little bit of honest to god comfort with another person who isn't paying him to there or threatening to break his kneecaps. and he definitely never considers the words "settling down" but he maybe isn't planning how he's gonna get outta dodge yet, so that's something, right?
but then he either lapses in his meds or they get found, and sure, maybe there's a fight that follows or something that leads to him leaving. but i think it's more likely that stan doesn't stick around to face the music at all. he finds out that they found out, and they're either gonna kick him out or they're gonna start expecting shit from him, right? so he gets ahead of it and makes himself scarce. it's a lot easier to disappoint people at this point than to keep letting himself be disappointed.
he probably does a decent job of holding on to that mentality for a long time, too. especially after settling into gravity falls and getting enough stability in his life that even when there are mishaps, he's really fucking good at managing them. bad reaction to a batch of suppressants and kicked into an unexpected heat? he can shut down the shack for a few days and play sick -- something mundane but contagious to his employees and something fantastical to drive sales to the schmucks paying his bills for when he gets back. and if the idea of closing up shop completely raises too many eyebrows? he can claim he's going out of town for a few days and just lock himself up in the industrial basement nobody knows about and ride things out.
(he only lets that happen once. cause it turns out that being out of your skull on fuck-me hormones in the room where you last saw, fought, and banished your brother into a sci-fi monstrosity does some really weird shit to the who and what you're fantasizing about. also, getting slick all over the fucking journal you need to get said brother back runs too close of a risk to ruining the thing in the worst way possible, so never again.)
and it's so damn easy to play the part of alpha that nobody thinks twice to question him anyway. yeah, the town knows he's a fraud in a lot of ways, but that's part of the whole mr. mystery thing. and let's be honest, his shack is one of the only things that actually drums up tourism in the area, and those tourists have to eat somewhere, have to sleep somewhere. so okay, stan pines is a fraud, but he's kinda gravity fall's fraud, an important part of their weird little economic ecosystem. so all that loud, cocksure, 'i will steal this right in front of you and come back tomorrow like i didn't,' attitude -- that has alpha written all over it to the townspeople anyway.
course, then ford does get back - he brings ford back - and stan gets to be reminded all over again about the whole 'people will disappoint you' thing. but i think he's pushed so much of that childhood fantasy and heat in the basement fantasy nonesense down and has gone so long without actually giving a shit about having to "prove" the alpha role, that he probably isn't thinking about any of it the same way ford is. i imagine that despite the way he acts, stan is actually pretty careful about who he fucks since taking over ford's identity, just in case. the less opportunity he has to slip up or get found out, the better after all. so while ford is hate fucking his fist, stan is trying to figure out how easily he can move and maintain his connections and trying not to spiral over any of that.
after everything is over, stan probably does consider keeping up appearances. but the logistics of it are too damn complicated, and at the end of the day, who gives a shit now? he's not living out of his car, trying to make himself as unappealing of a future victim as possible anymore. he isn't impersonating a known alpha and making sure no prejudiced hack thinks to look twice at the "successful small business owner" thing anymore. hell! he doubts he can even go into heat at this age anymore, so other than a little scent change, the only real difference is that he won't have to worry about juggling and sourcing the meds anymore.
yeah, he should probably have said something to ford about it, but it wasn't supposed to be a big deal. it was supposed to be something ford brings up after all the meds have cycled out of his system and all his clothes have been through enough washes to stop masking what's different. just a casual hey, stan smells different maybe, what's that all about? and oh yeah, i wasn't actually an alpha, how funny is that? end of story.
the going into heat thing was not supposed to happen. and it hasn't happened for so long that he doesn't even realize it is happening until it's way too late to do anything about it. at this point, stan isn't even entirely sure how long it's been since he actually fucked anybody, and almost never while in heat. so it's...a lot, to say the least.
not just the being bombarded with omega bullshit after suppressing it so hard for so long, either. that in and of itself is overwhelming. like, jesus, had it always been this fucking wet? and holy moses, has ford always smelled like that? and oh right the deeply suppressed ford thing.
they definitely don't have time to talk any of this out before it happens. but it's supposed to go by faster with a partner, right? they're trapped on a tiny boat in the middle of the ocean - stan really can't afford to be out of commission that long. and ford at least doesn't seem like he'd rather take his chances finding shore with a lifesaver when stan points all of this out. it's probably the dimension hopping shit, right? maybe having to fuck your twin brother through a biological meltdown isn't all that big of a deal to him compared to whatever else he's seen. it also means that stan doesn't have to actually bring up any of that shit he's refused to admit thinking thinking about on the rare occassions he has been dragged down into a heat.
basically a win-win!
but yeah, he's definitely going to avoid the hell out of ford as best he can on said tiny ass boat after this. also refuse to talk about it, because fuck no, there's nothing tjo talk about. they just need to make port sooner than later so he can get his hands on suppressants again and they can pretend this never happened at all.
#ford unsurprisingly refuses to let it go#they eventually figure it out cause i like to end things on a positive note#but sixerstanley's suggestion that they might both think the other is only going through with it cause they have to?#ugh that's too good to pass up#i'm totally normal about all of this OBVIOUSLY#stancest#pretend my ask tag is cute#stancest a/b/o au

୨ yoon keeho, ୧
ꕥ ignores you 'cause oh boy don't know how to cope.
ꕥ you try to get his attention, but he doesn't even bat and eyelash towards you.
ꕥ he's trying to distract himself but finding anything to do in the kitchen.
ꕥ "fine, be that way. i'm going hang out with intak.
ꕥ "yeah, bet you'd rather hang out with him, huh?"
ꕥ you're both kind of shocked at what he said.
ꕥ "what's your problem?"
ꕥ "what's my problem? you've been attached to intak's hip all day!"
ꕥ "i played a video game with him and that made you jealous?"
ꕥ "i'm not jealous!"
ꕥ jiung eventually joins the conversation, and you both make fun of him as he tries to prove his point.
୨ choi taeyang, ୧ (gender specific.)
ꕥ classic "jealous? me? no."
ꕥ but oh yes he's jealous.
ꕥ he doesn't think it's fair that as a girl barista, guys should be able to order from you.
ꕥ call him toxic and he might agree.
ꕥ rolls his eyes every time a guy walks up to the counter.
ꕥ it's genuinely so bad.
ꕥ you've kind of noticed his sour mood, so on your break, you walk over to him.
ꕥ "what's up?"
ꕥ "what's up? so i'm your bro now?"
ꕥ "my what?"
ꕥ "nah, it's fine man. go with your other boyfriends."
ꕥ you find him humorous.

୨ choi jiung, ୧
ꕥ the type to feel guilty that he feels jealous.

ꕥ "no. what if she finds you and takes you from me."
ꕥ "intak please let me use the bathroom alone. we're at home."
ꕥ "she might've followed us. i won't look. see."
ꕥ he faces away from you and scrolls through tik tok.
ꕥ you kind of wish he'd be the type to ignore you 💀
୨ haku shota, ୧
ꕥ doesnt really get jealous.
ꕥ he trusts you, and you trust him, so thats enough.
ꕥ and he doesn't really think anyone is cool enough to catch your attention.
ꕥ i mean, what other minecraft pro do you know?
ꕥ what other awesome freestyle dancer do you know?
ꕥ who do you know that loves fries as much as you??
ꕥ exactly.
ꕥ you wish he would get jealous.
ꕥ "someone just asked me for my phone number."

request: eddie being the, er -- "sandwich filling" if you catch my drift. between reader and bruce. i think he'd be into that tbh.
OOOOH THIS IS NAAAASTY i need this. (sorry its a bit short lol)
so i assume what you mean is a three way in which bruce is fucking eddie while eddie is fucking you. ok i literally just said im not a riddlebat shipper but i am for the right porn. i think at first edward would be against the idea of a threeway, feeling like his heart can only belong to one person. once he gives it a try, he's utterly obsessed with the feeling of being loved by multiple people at once. he could only do it if he's the center of attention, in any other position he'd get extremely jealous if he felt the slightest bit ignored. if eddie and bruce were having sex i think there'd have to be some hatefucking going on, considering his feelings on bruce and batman are polar opposites. yeah you and bruce would degrade and bully him into submission and he'd love every second of the two of you using him like a toy. he'd cry from the overstimulation and need to be constantly denied orgasms so he doesnt cum in thirty seconds. bruce would absolutely dominate the shit out of him and he'd be so humiliated as you watch from underneath. this could also work well as riddlebatcat, i think.

List of the types of cats Lackadaisy characters would be if they were actual cats because I'm bored:
Rocky: Rocky is the kinda cat you first meet and you think he's just the sweetest, most innocent little thing ever, and he stares up at you with those big, adorable eyes, and then 24 hours after adopting him you realize how much of an absolute MENACE he is. He's broken everything in your home, scratched everything, and clawed the shit out of your leg for fun, but you can't bring yourself to get rid of him because 1) if you dont put up with him, who will? And 2) LOOK HOW CUTE HE IS CURLED UP ON THE WINDOW SILL!!!
Freckle: Freckle is the kinda cat that's always super shy and kinda skittish around everything. He jumps at any sudden sound, and if you make the mistake of moving furniture around, he will act like hes walked into an entirely different house. It takes forever for him to warm up to you, but when he finally does, hes the sweetest little kitty ever. But then, you get him that one toy and he goes batshit insane. I'm talking jumping of the walls, skittering across the floor, nearly crashing into things, etc. To the point you wonder if he's even the same cat.
Ivy: Ivy is the kind of cat that's always weaving in and out of your legs and follows you everywhere. You sit at the computer, shes ontop of it. You go to the bathroom, she's at the door wanting to sit in your underwear. You leave the house, you have to make sure she doesn't follow you. She doesn't want anything, she just wants to hang out. She's the kind that would take to a cat harness like a duck to water, and would be so happy to go out with you and explore.
Mitzi: You know those videos of that one cat that does fashion runway shows and gets dressed up, but genuinely doenst seem to mind/actually really likes it cause she's the center of everyone's attention? That's Mitzi. She would love being pampered and treated like a queen, and would expect no less. She doenst just tolerate being put in fancy little dresses or being brushed and groomed, she'd LIVE for it. She loves attention of any kind and will absolutely gat attached to anyone who gives it to her.
Wick: Wick is one of those cats that's just an absolute angel all of the time. He's always there to say hello when you come home. He just lays in your lap while you work. He lays on the pillow next to you in bed, just an absolute sweetheart. He'd borderline be emotional support animal material, always at your side when you need him. He's never doing anything he shouldn't (at least, not that you know of), and he never minds being pet or cuddled, even if it wasn't his idea. You also notice him seeming oddly fascinated with a certain lanky stray tom cat that keeps coming by your window.
Zib: Zibs the kind of cat that was a stray that just showed up outside your house, and you felt bad for him, so you start leaving food out for him, and he gets a bit more comfortable with you being around, but still doesnt seem all that interested in you, and then one day, he just walks into the house and flops down on the couch like he owns the place. He still likes to be outside to wander, usually to the neighbors to hang out with their fluffy brown cat, but he always comes back at night and curles up on your lap while you watch TV. He's the kind of cat that you don't adopt. He adopts you.
Viktor: Viktor is one of those cats who takes a long time to warm up to people. He just kinda stares at you from across the room, almost with a look of mistrust, and he wants nothing to do with being pet or cuddled. If you try to force it, all you do is push him away. But if you respect that and give him his space, you're eventually gonna start waking up with him laying next to you in bed, or he'll come up to you on the couch and lay on the opposite side. He doesn't want to be pet, he just wants to be next to you. That's how he shows affection.
Mordecai: Mordecai is similar to Viktor, but he just straight up does not warm up to you. He's less your pet cat and more a roommate who has slight disdain for you and doesn't pay rent. You just exist in the same place. He does his own thing, and you better not interrupt him, cause you will get hissed and/or clawed at. He doenst like toys, or Catnip or anything. The only thing he seems to like is staring out your perfectly symmetrical windows. He occasionally brings you birds, but you can't tell if it's a gift or a threat.
Nico and Serafine: These two are the cats at the shelter that can't be separated because they're a bonded pair. They're the kind you bring home, and they immediately run to the tallest part of the house and just stare at you. Every time you enter the same room as them, they just stare at you from above and don't move. You know they can get down due to the food being gone every day and the couch getting progressively more scratched up, but you never see it. And then, one day, you wake up with Niko sleeping on your face, Serafine over your neck, and the corpse of the biggest rat you've ever seen at the end of the bed. You've done it. You gained their approval... expect a lot more dead things.
ASDFGHJKJHGFDSA FAM I AM C A C K L I N G 😭😭😭 BUT IT'S LITERALLY SO TRUE THOUGH!!!
I feel threatened by Mordecai. And the Savoys...but touched, too!
Wick is literally like my one cat, but he's a mix of Wick and also Zib. God I love this!!!

i'm sure others have already commented on the way the flashback was handled in the leaked ep but GOD it's been taking up so much space in my mind. it really shows just how important it is to plan ahead to have reveals like that feel satisfying.
like blitzo killed HIS OWN FUCKING MOM accidentally, and we're supposed to get this from what, a 5 second clip? seriously????
if this show was actually planned out and well-written i feel like it'd have more foreshadowing and hints at what happened. just things to get you wondering. like idk. in the first ep iirc blitzo is tied up and the humans try to burn him and he doesnt react to the fire in a weird way at all??? HE KILLED HIS OWN MOTHER BY ACCIDENTALLY CAUSING A HUGE FIRE!!! idc how much blitzo bottles things up. some sort of reaction wouldve made so much more sense - like, if moxxie or millie or whoever was tied up with him i cant be bothered to go check - said that human fire doesnt hurt them instead of blitzo, and then he acts kind of off, it could be like a "oh i wonder why he's acting like that even though it doesnt hurt him" and then its the reveal and its like "ohhh omg thats why." something of that nature. just SOMETHING to buildup to the reveal. and god i wish it was longer.
i wish there was more time to see both fizzarolli's and blitzo's perspectives on the accident. i mean it starts with fizz waking up, there could be like, a dream sequence that portrays blitzo all evil, showing that it still haunts fizz and makes you wonder what really happened- but then the jump from that to him waking up would be complete tonal whiplash so i dont think that would really work with the episode as is- honestly the whole thing just needs to be rewritten. this whole show is a mess actually. it's taking up so much of my brain. i'm sorry.
god and the whole thing is so STUPID too. fucking, there are people... at your birthday party....? wtf... *accidentally bumps into the imp carrying the cake* oh the cake has fallen and i have accidentally killed my mother and caused irreversible damage to my friend !
but but but WHY is blitzo like that. its fizz's goddamn birthday party no shit he's the center of attention. yk what im not even going to rant abt that. its all just shitty writing.
despite all that i'm still excited for the episode tomorrow, helluva has great animation and fizzarolli is the only character i care about so i'm really looking forward to see him fully animated just on screen. the song had its bad parts (fucking secret to bitcoin part) but i love how over-dramatic fizz is, he loves performing so much it's cute
it was bad, it was just so incredibly bad, and the only redeeming thing about it was that it's Fizzarolli. I'm looking forward to see him and Ozzie in full animation (lack of composition aside) and that's about it.

You mentioning the fact that they're profilers is so real bc like it honest to god ASTOUNDS me how badly they all read hotch like he so so so so clearly cares for every member of the Bau WAAYYY more than he cares for him self and he's literally never shown otherwise??? Like even the whole drill boss stuff or whatever tf he said he's never aggressive with the group if they mess up he's always understanding but fair and most is pretty much the first one to comfort them (if the script allows) UNLESS he's going through some shit IE the whole divorce plot and foyet AND IT BAFFLES ME HOW EVERYONE FUCKING MISSES IT CONSIDERING ITS THEIR J O B
they’re all kinda bad at profiling each other but istg they have to TRY to understand hotch so poorly… i’m trying to think of a moment where he yells at them when they’re not directly putting themselves in danger or in the immediate aftermath of him getting attacked in his fucking home, but i cant think of anything?? he doesnt like being harsh with them and he learns the hard way with the elle situation that it doesnt get them anywhere. the only time he was unduly upset w someone was with emily in the beginning and that’s only bc he thought she was either a nepotism hire (which she kinda was) or a plant for strauss (which she kinda was)
he’s “strict” but like?? is he?? he does half their paperwork for them and they dont even know it. instead of doing things by the book and getting reid fired, he turned the other way and let him work through his drug problem. maybe he says “no” sometimes, but he usually relents anyway—like when jj has a feeling ab a case or when he calls the fucking vatican for emily. if he was a drill sergeant, would he let garcia keep a bunch of clutter on her desk and dress in bright clothing?? he doesnt coddle them or anything bc that’s not really his personality, but he’s gentle w them and even praises them when he knows they need it. he doesnt always step in and help when he should (i think that honestly has more to do w him being self conscious than anything—he doesnt want a drill sergeant/bully to make things worse), but he keeps a close eye on each of their wellbeing and will quietly urge one of the others to help out if someone’s in a tough spot
sure he doesn’t smile a whole lot and he’s known for his perpetually neutral face, but at the same time it’s not very hard to tell how he’s feeling. he’s effective at his job, he’s good at playing the tough guy, but tbh he let’s things get to him easily. he takes their criticism to heart and does his best to be better. he HATES seeing any of them hurt: ever notice how after what happened with elle he never uses his own agents as bait like that again? he either uses himself (like the fight club episode) or one of the team volunteers and he relents (like emily in the omegaverse swingers episode). they misread his social awkwardness as being cold when really i think he’s just mildly uncomfortable being the center of attention in an unprofessional setting.
it’s wild to me how frequently they misjudge him. i think he kinda knows and almost encourages it?? while still considering their judgements genuine?? morgan is a great example: of all his subordinates, morgan has worked with him the longest, since before he was in charge of the team. so you’d think morgan would have the best insight. but morgan has a complicated relationship w authority figures and tends to be automatically defensive out of habit. essentially, he’s been projecting on hotch since day one and has been blinded by the convoluted series of lenses he sees hotch through: as a constantly rotating mixture of buford, stilinski, and his father. it’s prevented him for actually seeing hotch for who he is, and hotch seems to make no real effort to correct any of those presumptions. but hotch still takes it personally when morgan criticizes him (prob bc it feeds his own negative view of his self worth and uses it as justification for whatever self loathing bullshit he’s on)
basically, hotch knows everyone has skewed perceptions of him and is fine letting their delusions continue uninterrupted—encourages it, even. he’s more comfortable receiving scathing remarks, even if they’re inaccurate, bc it allows him to continue his own delusion ab his place in the world. if they hate him (or if he thinks they hate him), it gives him a reason to hate himself. which is why i think he kinda likes that they’re bad at profiling him. it’s a way to receive that negative attention without actually being vulnerable. it’s a very very passive manipulation—more like he’s allowing them to manipulate themselves—that feeds his self loathing. i think he does it on purpose, so i cant necessarily fault the others for so drastically misunderstanding hotch. especially since they do get better at it over the seasons: they’re able to see through his defense mechanisms a little more, even if they still cant see him clearly
#this is getting kinda long lol and this is technically unrelated so i’ll just say it in the tags:#i think they start getting better at reading him after season 6?#to an extent i think they’re a little aware that they arent seeing hotch clearly#he’s cultivated an odd sense of.. moral superiority? almost? he’s an upstanding guy.. almost otherworldly in his principles#so i think when he BREAKS those principles—lying about emily—purposefully irrevocably unregretably undeniably#their image of him shatters a bit#he’s more.. human#humans make mistakes. humans have weaknesses#even after foyet he was pretty fucking stoic all thing considered. but it’s easy to brush off as a single moment#but the whole thing with emily?#he CHOSE to lie to them. every day. for months#and the fact that they’re suddenly able to be justifably upset with him… making him the target of righteous anger…#idk. it just. it breaks their trust but it also breaks their delusions#he’s not better than them. he’s not at some unattainable moral high ground#he’s just… a guy trying his best. and sometimes his best isnt good enough#he makes a decision thats so out of left field for them that theyre forced to reconsider how they view him#and maybe they realize he’s more comfortable lying than they thought#N E WAY#what were we talking about? lol#asks#aaron hotchner

ok im gonna go off on a quick tangent here;
if i see one more person say that Sonic the Hedgehog is an 'ADHD icon' i am going to rip them in half
the fact people still assume that ADHD is only hyperactivity just shows that they have no idea what the fuck attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is. Its primarely a cognitive disorder which means that it influences how you percieve and process things around you. Its closely related to autism. hyperactivity is not a needed symptom for an attention disorder (only for adHd).
You are unwantingly innatentive, your reactions scaringly impulsive or nonexisent and your motor skills can be rated on a scale from 0-10 where 5 is lucky and 10 is selfdiagnosis.
sth displays zero of those things. his innatentivnes only shows up as impatience, when he is listening to subjects that bore him, where literally anyone else would also lose their mind. it doesnt show for example on battlefield, where he is always aware of every bot and dodges every incoming atrack which would be impossible if he did have adhd. his 'impulsivity' only comes up when he wants to do something fast or he wants to do something now, or in situations where he is very aware of the consequences. not when conversations take place or when literally any outside impuls shows up, ever. he doesnt have a problem with understanding what people want from him, on the contrary, he makes fun of people that dont understand metaphors or other autistic shit that happens to them. (for example I think Silver is a much more 'better' candidate when it comes to adhd/autism)
the ONLY Sonic being labeled with adhd i am willing to accept is Boom!Sonic, because like it or not, Sonic Boom in its comic/show/storyline forms was actually really fucking clever and funny and accurate and you guys just hate on it because it went out of the norm (ok fine also the games gameplay sucked. ill give u that)
i.e. Alone Again Unnaturally, Designated Heroes, the one where eggman gives him new shoes and literally almost any other Sonic-centered episode
im not hating on u if you find yourself in him or if u headcanon him as such!! if u do, thats great!! i am actually really happy when people manage to connect with disorders and view them in a positive way <3 i actually do really like the guy. i just think that ppl (especially those who write articles) should stop saying that he is something that hes not, because
that is actually very hurtful
#sonic#sonic the hedgehog#silver the hedgehog#sth#sonic boom#and how it could have been a show that moved the sth franchise to a better place#and how it was reallz clever and funny and actually had artistic value#despite being wayyyy different from the source#but lets be honest what alternative sonic isnt? u guys just hate it bcs the games were bad#and its not even the studios fault!!! they were rushed!!!#have you SEEN the concept art??????? have you seen how the team TALKS about sonic boom???? it could have been so good#bcs they actually put a soul in it#but ig in todays world quantity > quality#im sorry ill stop ik u dont wanna hear it but just keep in mind that sonic boom is my favourite sth universe#ever

yeah you really screwed the pooch on that one lil bro
okay this dialogue is actually painful to read BUT it is interesting how a common theme of the alpha kid session is just. Waiting . they have to wait for the beta kids to come to actually make their session winnable and it keeps telling us that . so theyre just sitting around stewing in their juices. also cool that theyre called nobles instead of heroes and their planets each have a noble gas in the title
this doesnt really make sense over text BUT i see what is happening and. yes jake is the worst. jake you suck we all hate you sorry girl maybe stop being flop city
yeah okay jane is actually based right now. i cant remember why i stopped liking her. in this conversation jake is ragging on dirk for being too self indulgent and having zero self awareness while talking to jane about his issues. jane is literally trying to plan her own birthday party . jake you are being so fucking stupid and rude and honestly a pos rn bro. get OVER yourself

this shit is IMPOSSIBLE TO READ
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO fefeta :( best character you will be missed on this grand adventure. but alas we will have to carry on without you. how will we cope? how will we survive?
i think you are giving him too much credit there . at this point he definitely IS an asshole
okay well trickster mode is over and things are about to get even worse but i do appreciate the kids talking out their problems albeit in a very non direct way to where they arent actually really solving anything BUT they are at least talking now!! so thats good!! next part things take a turn for the worse somehow see you then

WHY do i never go to sleep at a reasonable hour lol!!!!
things are still busy as always - prepping for tour and weddings are a lot
i should really journal more it helps center me a lot, especially when my mind is going haywire
im talking to this boy i really like but he doesnt reply very often which is making me feel a bit weird - like it can be a couple days without a reply. i mainly feel weird abt it because he once ghosted me before, and prior to him disappearing this is what it was like. i dont want to get too caught in my feelings but i really like him which is so wild and so fast for me. i suppose we'll just have to have a convo about our communication styles should this continue - and if he replies lol! but also hes a busy person, but then again so am i? i just feel like i'm putting in more effort than he is and its a little upsetting i guess - i just want more and i want to be the focus of someones attention. ig it just sucks a bit when someone may not want u in the same way u want them. we'll just see what happens though. all i want is honesty - if someone loses interest then its fine i can take that easy - i just dont want my time and effort to be wasted when it could be going to other things or other people. he says he got a lot of love to give tho - give it to me ugh hahaaha
i however, dont want it to affect me too much. im busy and i have other things i need to be getting on with. i got a job interview for a role i actually WANT coming up - this should be my focus really rather than some boy or any boy really. i have also concocted a list of things i want to be doing every day / most days just to better myself as a person - like reading, working out, and making music. i say this all the time and i never do it though - when is change going to happen g?
even if it doesnt work out with this boy - yeah the circumstances of it might be shit but you will find someone you love eventually. there is only so much you can do and you will find a person for you. someone who will love you and be obsessed with you for you in your entirety
you also need to love and better yourself. dont let every working day be the same and boring - your current job is shit as it is. make your days interesting - learn something new and do something new every day. stop coming home from work, scrolling, gaming and sleeping. that is such a boring life! you are a creative - don't dull yourself. create!
read that damn book by your dresser. tomorrow (today really) is a new week, and you've got some core responsibilities out of the way now. lets see some change, and lets get fit for tour
the boy sitch yes its annoying - he could be making more effort. but you are just talking still - maybe there needs to be a little confrontation or clarification to set expectation. but someone elses actions are not in your control and there is only so much more you can do
remember also to treasure and love others around you. they are your family. like sam, lorcan, arjun and my actual family
although i dont really say i am christian anymore, i still want my ultimate purpose just to be to love. to be kind to others, make others feel loved and appreciated, and good. not to sound cliche but that is what we need in the world. we were always taught in primary school to 'treat others the way you want to be treated' - and its true!
tilly got married this week and everyone spoke so highly of her - it really wowed me that she has had such an impact on the lives of many individuals and that is so inspiring to me. she is pure honey and i love the way she walks and carries herself. i want to be like that too - i want to be good
Jesus will you help me to love the way you love and keep love and selflessness at the heart of everything i do <3

Why are you asking that pigdog what rhey think of anaheim draft? The attention-seeking lying ass scum doesnt know shot about hockey. Literally not a single fucking thing. Nothing bad dramatic ignorant takes. Hell the fuck no.
you know, I wasn't gonna answer this, I was just gonna delete it, but fuck it I might as well.
on this website, tumblr, there are things called "friends". don't know if you've heard of them? "friends" are people who you like and who like you. generally you follow each other. you interact with each other's content a lot. might root for different teams but we can still appreciate each other's vibes.
so when a friend gets second overall in the draft lottery for their favorite team, the proper response, at least imo, is to ask them what they think of the projected 2oa. maybe they haven't seen fantilli, haven't watched the clips. hell, I don't know much about him myself.
for what it's worth, from what I've heard I expect fantilli to be a massive add to the ducks (in 24-25, as umich basically confirmed he's staying another year), and with a stronger defense, the ducks have a genuine shot at being contenders by that point. probably wildcard contenders, as far as things go. they're still stacking on draft picks that will still (probably) need to develop, and there's a lot of question marks, especially because vegas, edmonton, and seattle are all super strong teams with (imo) little chance of falling off soon and the kings are the kings (for better and for worse). canucks should be able to wildcard contend going forward as long as they can maneuver the 24-25 resigning frenzy. flames are in a massive implosion and hopefully their new coach can fix them. san jose's meier trade cemented them as now going to rebuild so take them out for another 3-5 years or so, imo. so the conference will be tough and i wouldn't expect immediate success when fantilli joins, but i can see them in 2, 3, 4 years being a strong team.
i'm not gonna speculate on fantilli lines (zegras-fantilli-terry?) because i'm a devils fan and i have learned that lines don't mean SHIT, but fantilli will be a top6 power center barring some massive breakdown or rangers-style development. i expect that to push zegras to wing full time and for the coach to cook with fantilli 1C mctavish 2C, of course barring trades and whatever else have you.
so yeah! the ducks'll be fun! looking forward to that.
so anyways, that's what you do when someone's favorite team gets the 2oa pick! be happy for them. not rage and seethe and whine and blast other people's inboxes insulting their friends while hiding under anonymity, because you can't cope with other people's happiness.
look man, just get some help. it'll be good for you. beat up a pillow or something.
#stereanswers#that's all i'm gonna say on this matter now and forever#don't need my blog becoming anon hate central#but also i went on a tangent and started analyzing ducks hockey so [shrug]#if y'all wanna talk hockey my inbox is open if y'all wanna take potshots at other users it's closed#stereax goes on a rant

where is the charm if he isnt absolutely off the shits 24/7. wired on 700 mg caffeine a day minimum. shaking. scared. frightened. type of mother fucker to go ooOoOOoOooOOOOoooo like a ghost when in a dark room. by himself also. type of guy to say peekaboo. dude probably owns a collection of small porcelain rabbits. his house is covered in covert booby traps. to stop what? that doesnt matter. dont worry about it. where is the flavor. where are the blueprints plastered to the ceiling above his bed so he can think about all the ways he could've saved his daughter every night before he goes to sleep. wheres the pile of like 27 diaries that discuss how jealous he is of this One Fucking Guy . make him obsessive and freakish. make him refuse to admit to any of his mistakes but more importantly make him silly. make him overemotional. make him wear fluffy purple robes and have him own a chaise lounge chair. he's dramatic, he's theatrical. big sweeping reveals, lots hand motions, little twirls shit. make him expressive. make him go EHEHEHEHE and tiptoe away from people cartoonishly on purpose. have him bring up the supernatural as fact and proceed to have him shiftily side eye everyone in the room. make sure nobody likes it. if youre going to sexualize him at least make him weird about it. and i mean like, really weird about it. not like normal kinky weird about it i mean WEIRD about it. wheres his fucking whimsy. make that man wear ugly clothes with gross patterns on them. he needs to be the center of attention at all times or else he WILL die and he does not care if the attention is negative or not. this guy would say EEK ! i know he would. figure out where he hides the playboy magazines, we both know he has them. have him be smart despite it all. wheres his gross basement full of garbage and piles of discarded dangerous and probably mildly haunted robot parts. make him like kids & entertaining them, genuinely. make him love his own kids. even mike, yes. a man who would say I Cannot Partake In These Emotional Games Of Yours I Have Work To Do and proceed to fuck it up because he's too busy thinking about something someone said 18 years ago that pissed him off. make him irrational. make him a liar. he probably sleeps facedown in his own sweat. most importantly, make him bisexual. make him sickly & tired. give him gray stress hairs at the age of 23. and cover him in blood of course but everyone has that down already
everybody always fucks up william aftons personality so violently its upsetting to witness

THOughTs on the Green brothers. (spoiler alert, these thoughts are highly positive)
been seeing posts recently about the time john green was bullied off of tumblr like its something to laugh about-- i even reblogged one of them that was talking about how tr*mp should try to join tumblr and see how it goes (which was, admittedly, funny)-- but i just want to throw it out there that john green gets a bunch of shit that he doesnt deserve and i am tired of hearing it.
So heres my incomplete list of great things John and Hank Green have done that dont mean that theyre perfect people but just mean that for FUCKS SAKE people need to lay off and actually recognize that they are good people and actually making the world a better place.
1. in their podcast, where listeners write in with questions, they always refer to people asking the questions with gender neutral pronouns unless the person specifically expresses a gender in the text of the email. They dont talk about it, its just a thing that quietly happens.
2. Their books are fucking good
John uses his books to subvert common harmful tropes that affect the way people view women and people dealing with chronic illness. “Looking For Alaska” and “Paper Towns” are absolute refusals of the MPDG trope and absolutely condemn the main (male) characters for seeing Alaska and Margot as less than full human beings. “The Fault In Our Stars” is all about how illness in general but cancer specifically doesnt mean anything, its just a horrific thing that happens to people, and how nothing you learn from having cancer is valuable enough to be worth it, and how romanticizing illness hurts people who are dealing with it. “Turtles All The Way Down” is about OCD, about feeling like a burden on people around you, and sometimes actually being hard to be around and actually hard to deal with, but how that doesnt make you less of a person, and doesnt make you any less loved, and how “getting better” or being “cured” is not the end goal of mental illness narratives, sometimes you just need to be able to get through the day and that is OK.
Hanks books are a trip and a half. “An Absolutely Remarkable Thing” and “A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor” are simultaneously the books that have made me the most afraid of the future, and the most hopeful for the future. I dont know how else to say it. Also. well. written. queer. women. HOLY FUCK. WELL WRITTEN QUEER WOMEN. WRITTEN BY A STRAIGHT WHITE GUY. How?? you ask??? because he fucking talked to queer women, hired sensitivity readers, and actually values the input of marginalized people and wants to represent them well. Read these books.
3. This isnt even touching on all of the charity work that they do in which they NEVER CENTER THEMSELVES so im going to do it for them because they deserve some recognition for this. They are so generous with their time, attention, platform, and money in a way that i hope becomes more common, but damn, they are making concrete change in the world in a way that most people only talk about. and theyre DOING IT.
4. THEIR FREE EDUCATIONAL CHANNELS. FREE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES. FREE. EDUCATIONAL. RESOURCES. and thats not even close to all of them. They also make really great explainer videos on their main channel about really difficult topics and they break them down into something you can understand.
They are just earnest, silly, and interesting people who are committed to experiencing the world with curiosity and i could go on and on with the just-- fucking GOOD things both of them have done and people choose to ignore those in favor of laughing about the john green c*ck monologue and making up twitter style canceling manifestos based on not having read any of their books or having engaged with any of their content in any way and straight up garbage. I just think they deserve better than that.
tldr: stop talking shit about the green brothers. ready for a keanu reeves style green brothers renaissance on this hellsite.
#thank you for coming to my ted talk.#vlogbrothers#dftba#john green#hank green#john and hank#john and hank green#hank and john#nerdfighter#nerdfighteria

to anthony it was also a competition with kate, to prove himself to her in his own clown logic. my best explanation is that he wanted to be around kate, win their arguments (without realizing what his feelings were) and defend his character, but she was always shutting him down, closing the door, leaving the room. so he resorted to manipulative and pushy methods like how he got to sit with edwina and kate at ascot, coming to a party he wasn't invited to, and courting edwina so hard so kate had to tolerate his presence. i think he really didnt care that edwina would get hurt because he was self-centered about his own wants. even in ep 1 it said said to his douche friends the difficulty is finding a wife while "wooing the piece" would be easy - i don't think he cares much about his wife's wants beyond children, he cares more about qualities of a viscountess. my interpretation is that while he says he doesnt want his wife to grieve like his mom did, he's also terrified of losing someone else he loves. throughout the show he doesn't consider any feelings his wife might have for him but is more concerned with choosing anyone with the right qualities that he knows he won't love. esp after ep 4 it's clear he's more spooked at falling in love himself, in ep 5 it's clear he doesn't pay attention to edwina anymore now that they're engaged. he really doesn't care if he hurts her what with the way he's acting around kate, then trying to get out of the engagement without concern for edwina's heartbreak until kate begs him.
but also it's just a lot of bad writing! and i realize i'm rationalizing and giving more thought to this than the actual writers did!! anthony's not the only character they had doing whatever needs to get the plot to the wedding. i think there could be something to be said with anthony's character about unaddressed trauma unintentionally hurting innocent people around you because you're so focused on your own (emotional in this case) survival that you forget they have wants and needs too. but these writers are definitely incapable of handling that topic well lol
I don’t think Anthony viewed it as a competition with Kate. That makes him look even worse. I think the whole thing would actually make more sense to me if not for his actions in ep 2. He goes out of his way to woo Edwina with grand gestures. He buys her a horse. I also think people forget that he was willing to read Benedict’s love poem to Edwina and only stopped because of Kate and Violet. So if he was alone with Edwina he probably would have read it. Which was strange because if he just wants friendship in a marriage, why is he reading her poems about love. I could believe book!Anthony’s courtship of Edwina because he did the bare minimum and expected his title to do the work for him. Which made sense for someone who didn’t want love in their marriage.
But also, if his motivation that he was afraid of loosing someone he loved, the whole thing would have made more sense. His motivation of not leaving behind a grieving wife didn’t match up with his actions. It’s only mentioned in ep 3 and then never brought up again. He doesn’t seem worried about this with Kate. Then in ep 8, it comes across more as Anthony is afraid of loosing someone that’s why he doesn’t want love. But I don’t think the writers wanted to admit that Anthony didn’t give a shit about Edwina feelings, just as long as he didn’t love her. So they had to give Anthony a more ‘selfless’ motivation.
#bridgerton#tbh a lot of things would have made more sense if they wrote ep 2 differently#they should have established each character and their motivations better#like Edwina’s whole pressures of being a diamond#and more kathony interactions

Lets talk about Korra (again)
i already made this analysis, and it was well received but i dont know, i wanna do it again. Why not right? My english is better now than was when i made that analysis so i think this one will be better written
What a way to introduce a protagonist. This line and this scene tell us everything we need to know about Korra at that time and everything she knew about herself.
In book one Korra is a 17′s old teenager who have no idea how the world, how life is outside the training center she grew up in and had been locked up since ever. So she is not only naive but have lack of social skills
Oh, and not everyone who lack’s social skills will act like Zuko and Azula okay? Korra can be confident, expressive and outgoing and still have problems when it comes to social skills.One thing dont exclude the other.
“I’m the Avatar and you gotta deal with it” did you guys notice that only for that line we can see the entire opposite on how she treat her role as avatar in comparisson with Aang? And im not here to judge because is two very different contexts.
As far as we know, Korra grew up without friends or romantic partners. Of course, she had her training partners but i believe that they are just that.
So her entarely perception of herself was around her duty as Avatar, she didnt have personal life, she barely was Korra...She was The avatar and thats that.
So she came to Republic City, it was a mess.
Its funny to see that she have no touch when it comes to simply talk to people, i guess when you grew up away from society, this happens. And yes, she is cocky and had to learn that people arent there to somewhat please her, and she learned that quicky.
Thats why the Pro Bending was important for her character, not only for training but also as means of socilization.
Now lets talk about the villains: Amon and Tarrlok
The two of them represents two differents threats to Korra. Amon represents a threat to her duty as Avatar while Tarrlok represents a threat to Korra as a person.
In episode 4 we have what i still thinks is the darker episode from TLOK. In this episode Amon ambushes Korra in the final moments... Even knowing that they did their best to make Amon’s power and control be non-sexualized as possible still...He have her down on her knews, totally helpless and he even invades Korra’s personal space by touching in her face forcing her to look at him. He didn't have to sexually touch her to violate her.
And right after, the fear in Tenzin voice when asking what happened after seeing her laying in the ground like that, and how Korra is sobing in his arms teeling him how powerless and helpless she felt. I mean...Oh, and she keeps terryfied by him until he takes her bending.
Tarrlok in the other hand doesnt do much different from his brother and started to harass Korra because he cant take ‘no’ as a answer when Korra didnt wanted to join his task force.
Whats interesting is that if it wasnt for Tarrlok harassement and maniputation, Korra wouldnt have joined his task force and wouldnt have confronted Amon and wouldn't have gone through that terrible encounter.
The thing is that Korra is caught right in the middle of a politcal power dispute over the city, something that she for sure wasnt prepare for it. And both Amon and Tarrlok woud hurt or kill her without think twice about it if that means gain power. And that was exacly what happened
Tarrlok tried to manipulate her and keep her on leash where he could, and when his tatics didnt worked anymore he alreay had a plan B. Yes that whole metal box in that cabin in the middle of nowhere was made especifically for her and maybe Tenzin if he also get in his way.
In the end Korra lost the physical battle against both but won the ethical battle also against both. She was the responsable for expose both of them as corrupted and hypocrites. But at what price? Amon was able to remove the bends of the Avatar. And without them, how could she be the Avatar?
Remember that her entirely conception of herself was built around her duty as Avatar, be the avatar. After all, everything she was, everything she'd trained so hard for, had been destroyed in minutes. Thats why i still strongly believe that she was thinking about killing herself at the end, nobodys goes all sad and crying to in front of a clifft without thinking about jumping from it.
But she, i think given up the idea and just sit and started to crying when Aang appeared and help her, giving her bendings back in one of the best scenes of the show. So after have everything solve and still managed to get the boy she was in love with, things where great and she “move on”
In that first half, Korra is unbearable. Everything she learned in Book 1 how to be more mature, less spoiled and all, was thrown in the trash and she was the same "child" of the book one only worse.
Until I stopped and realized that I was also unbearable and childish like this when I had my bad phases of anxiety and depression, as defense mechanism and keep people away. Returning to Korra, and if this way of acting of her was nothing more than this defense mechanism?
Because guess what, i dont think she “move on” from all that happened in Book One that fast, and for add more drama she discovered that was her father idea of keeping her locked up training in that training center we saw in book one and not traveling like avatars before her. No wonder she felt betrayed. And for adding even more drama, people still keep treating her like child, so she was despered for some validation. Something that she found in her uncles arms but she was betrayed by him after.
In the end, Korra again goes through a traumatic experience when she has her connection with past lives destroyed. We see how it affected her when she apologizes to Tenzin, through tears. And Tenzin, as the excellent master he is, tries to motivate her to face Vaatu again (now merged with Unalaq, her uncle) and again she saves the day even after go throught a traumatic event
In the final moments, we see the innocent decision to reconnect the world of spirits and the world of men. And we also see Korra and Mako permanently end their turbulent relationship.
Book 3 begins in a more mature, we see all the characters being presented in a more mature way and it seems that Korra now has overcome everything that has passed. We have the relationship between Korra and Asami deepening as well
In Book 3, called "Change" we have a great sacrifice from Korra. Her life goes down a notch when she decides to save the new airbenders from Zaheer and the Red Lotus, the only villain until now that really threat her life since their sole goal was to kill the avatar.
Korra won again but this time victory costed way too much. Yes she save the day again but now she was physically and psychologically defeated. It was too much, she broke.
Book 4 begins and we only saw Korra in the final minutes and she is unrecognizable. We see that, once proud and courageous avatar, in someone depressed and cowerd. We never have saw Korra like that, even when she was afraid of Amon she wasnt like that.
Korra is afraid of being the Avatar again and her fight against PTSD is still one of the most sensitive, responsable and honest representation of Mentall Issues that i saw, and it was before this subject gain more space on media. It was before people started to give attention to this
I also think that she was having flashs from her other fights and not only the one against Zaheer.
Another thing I think is worth mention is that Korra took 3 years to feel safer and re-embrace her duties as Avatar. It was not 3 weeks or 3 months, it was 3 years. And anyone who suffers from some mental illness knows very well the stigma that is, the fight that is, because everyone wants you to be well faster as possible when the truth is that many times you spend years fighting against this. And this is a pressure that falls on you.Imagine, seeing all your friends moving forward while you continue "stock in the same place"?
Only after Korra confronts Zaheer, I think that was a way to show her coping with the trauma, she improves to the point of returning to be the great Avatar we know. I personally still struggles with this scene because put the victim in front of her agressor may not be the best idea but i understand that she needed to see that he was just a man and not the invencible monster her mind was telling her
One of the lines that stuck with me the most was in the TLOK version of the ember island players, the one that made a recap of the show before the finale. When Korra said “I was so naive” just before we watch her narration of her journey, we can feel pain, sadness and strenght. Janet was amazing in the way the delivered this line.
And this fucking quote i saw here on tumblr still is the goat: “The Last Airbender is a story of a boy who becomes a god. The Legend of Korra is the story of a goddess who becomes a girl "
And I still get really pissed when someone comes to talk shit about Korra because she is such an incredible heroine and her journey is also so incredible.
The story of how life can be hard and unfair, how it can hurt and paralyze, but there is always a reason to move on. We should always move on.
Korra is definitely not weak, quite the opposite, she is one of the if not the strongest heroine I have ever seen. Korra inspires overcoming
