#WHERE DID THAT COME FROM

sudden intense need to hook up with another transfem and spitroast some mewling little runt until it can't walk in a straight line

One, two, three... a couple of moments in narrative, or all of them viewed isolated, could be called "misinterpretation" and "an incurable case of shipping goggles" but when the events start piling up and staying consistent between each other, every new one adds context to the previous events.

Zuko keeps Katara's necklace for 10 episodes? Oh it's a plot device so he can track them. Zuko steadies Katara so she doesn't fall off of the shirshu? Oh anyone would fall off of it while paralyzed. Katara jokes about giving a kiss to Zuko for the necklace? Oh she's uh... teasing Aang to whom this completely goes over head? Iroh keeps encouraging annoying love songs during music nights on the ship? Oh it's typical content for sailors. Zuko randomly recites cringe poetry after basically ending a fight in a draw against Katara while he's clearly running out of time? Oh it's the Rule of Cool. Katara randomly defends Zuko's hairstyle when Sokka insults it? She's uhh... defending Sokka's hairstyle even though Sokka didn't insult his own hairstyle (honestly I have no other explanation for this one). Katara is in Zuko's personal space 5 minutes after they started talking without being on opposing sides? She's uhh just that much empathetic. Zuko smiles at her on the very same day they let him stay near them? Uhhh... He waits an entire night awake to apologize to her? Uhh he's just a master manipulator hiding his selfish motives he's really sorry and would do this for anyone. Katara's glued to his side since their hug? Uhh she's empathetic. Zuko plants himself next to Katara during the play and won't budge? Uhh he's just socially unskilled (for now due to abuse) and does't quite understand what Aang wants from him. Zuko intercepts lightning for Katara in slow motion? It's the Rule of Cool again.

All of these things are true, but it's also true that when viewed as a whole... the narrative is portraying something. Reality is everything, the purposeful and the pointless. But theatrical stories pick and choose what to show, and we are taught how to interpret shorthands. Good writing won't have pointless or unconnected events. Neither is it smart to over-animate irrelevant actions.

And I purposefully didn't even list any of the symbolism or outside events that don't "originate" from the characters themselves (other than Iroh's actions because it's hilarious).

being passively suicidal for like, over a decade, is so strange. it has such a weird lasting impact on how your brain works. ill be sitting here having a good time and then my brain is like wow, you're so content right now! but the future is scary and unknown, you should kill yourself right now.

like WHAT?? STOP IT! SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!

I must be watching the wrong silent movies bc I feel ripped off. I was expecting an evil guy with a twirly moustache trying to run over a lady on some train tracks and all I got was freudian symbolism and horrific explorations of postwar trauma or some shit

Saw a teen wolf post about Derek and Stiles being feral and unhinged and not the pack mom and dad everyone writes them to be and while I wholeheartedly agree, they said “Derek grew up in a shack” and like?????? No he didn’t???? He grew up in a wealthy and influential family with a huge house. He moved to NYC after the fire with his sister, he only lived in questionable conditions for less than a year and he was already grown at that point like what
