#Yagoda

[revenge-of-the-shit]

The thing about the live action change with Katara and all the female waterbenders is that this attempted girlboss moment just does not work. Not only is terribly forced, it's also just tactically stupid. The enemy is literally launching fireballs at the city and Katara has gathered up all the female waterbenders who are supposedly (we are supposed to infer) only healers and completely untrained in fighting and it's supposed to be a #girlboss victory that Pakku relents and allows them to fight?? Like, even if several of them were in fact either secret prodigies or warriors who trained in secret (and I don't doubt there must have been), it's also just a tactically stupid decision in a battle to 1. Put all of your healers and medics on the front lines doing wall repair and battle instead of, you know, healing the injured soldiers and civilians, and 2. Put untrained fighters in a battle, and 3. Put an untrained child with no tactical training in charge, no matter how much of a prodigy and how intelligent and willful she is.

If they changed the script even slightly and given female waterbenders a chance to train, like how Katara did in the OG, it would make much more sense. If they had something else - maybe one of the senior disciples had been secretly training his female waterbenders friends in secret, and they in turn had been training a few - or perhaps, maybe there were some friends, a guy learning to heal while his gf learned to fight from each other - maybe it would have helped. Unfortunately they did not and this scene served only to fall completely flat.

Hakoda and Kya adopt Azula AU

[Water Tribe school enrollment interview]

Yagoda, internally: This family is very elegant. They'll truly make a good fit.

Pakku: Okay, last question.

Pakku: If you were to compare your new "mama" to your old mama, who would you rank higher?

Yagoda: Pakku!

Baby Azula: M...M...

Hakoda: Azula?

Baby Azula: Mama...*starts crying*

Hakoda and Kya: !!!

Pakku: So it's true. You do prefer your old mother.

Kya, comforting Azula: This is too cruel!

Pakku: What's your problem? You're not her real mother who she clearly wants more than you. Don't take it out on me for pointing out the obvious.

Kya: *prepares to kill Pakku*

Hakoda: *swings at Pakku but punches the table last second and shatters it*

Pakku: !!!

Hakoda: There was a fly. *cracks knuckles*

Pakku: O_O

Hakoda: Thank you for your time, but if making light of a child's feelings is part of your educational polices then we want nothing to do with. *puts arms around Kya and Azula and leaves*

Pakku: Y-You can't just walk out! We're not done yet! How dare you disgrace the academy making a scene over that ash-maker brat!

Yagoda: Pakku!

Pakku: Watch your mouth! Now bring the next family in.

Yagoda: Who truly disgraced the good name our school?

Pakku: What-

Yagoda: *Punches him in the face* Elegant, I must say.

And I'm done!

Who waited for Ty Lee? There she is! I thought about Ta Min's bridal hairdo but her gown is mostly white and yellow. Definitely should have drawn her in the yellow segment 'cause I am a nitpicker and I wanted braids. Well, what's done is done. Aunt Wu is - and looks - great.

Why don't they braid their hair more often in the Fire Nation? They should. Especially men. No wonder I don't like their style.

If you feel like it you can support me on my Ko-fi.

[atla-confessions]

Everyone talks about how Hama and Pakku are both Kanna's exes, and yes this is absolutely correct! But no one talks about the fact that Yagoda was also definitely Kanna's ex!

The way Yagoda's eyes lit up when Kanna was brought up and the way she was the one who recognizes Kanna's spitting image in Katara, the way she still thinks so fondly about Kanna's time there from so long ago and is still clearly not over how she left so suddenly. Oh there was definitely a history there too!

You know I’m getting tired of most ppl portraying the Northern Water Tribe as the most devilish, demonic nation that exists — so much so that its somehow worse than the Fire Nation (aka the literal imperialist nation that is responsible for genocide??).

Like yeah yeah I get the NWT follows a heavily gender divided societal structure and therefore will lead to sexist values and misogynistic mindsets/ideas. I understand why people would hate on the NWT for that reason.

With that being said, I think its a lame/boring take to just straight up paint them as this “evil” and bad nation of people.

I would have found it more fun and interesting if people actually went about showing the NWT in a complex matter in terms of their society, culture, and etc (rather than immediately paint them as a bad nation specifically due to the sexism laced in their old fashioned traditions).

Also not to mention the Northern Water Tribe separated gender roles is most probably inspired by the fact that indigenous groups such as the Inuit often separate their work among genders (or really sexes honestly but y’all get what I mean).

And I personally feel the reason for such a strict division in gender roles is perhaps due to the 100 Year War and the NWT doing what they could to preserve their culture — leading down to canon present in ATLA.

Avatar The Last Airbender: Choose your favorite character! (Round 1)

[peony-pearl]

Super bitter about Yagoda not getting any real applause or showing up with the White Lotus, bc while I totally understand Katara’s want to learn waterbending to fight, Yagoda’s class was shown as sub-par (which yeah I do understand bc Katara was disappointed to be relegated to the ‘women’s work’ class)- and yet Katara still went on to be a skilled healer but Yagoda is never mentioned again :T

Stalin’s workers’ paradise: CANNIBAL ISLAND

One of the most horrendous abuses of the Stalinist era was the mass deportation of 6,700 prisoners to what became known as “Cannibal Island”. This was a small island called Nazino in the Ob River in western Siberia (now the Tomsk Oblast). The island was 3 kilometres (1.9 miles) long and 600 meters (660 yards) wide and had no possibility of feeding the thousands of new residents. The only thing…

Sobre Isaac Babel

José Miguel Garofalo rememora a su aire, el artículo del escritor cubano Lisandro Otero, Isaac Babel: Un genio literario adelantado a su tiempo. Isaac Babel, periodista, escritor y dramaturgo de origen judío, nacido en Ucrania. Ningún escritor soviético sufrió tan intensamente las contradicciones entre el poder político y los desajustes de la utopía en marcha como Isaac Babel. “Caballer��a…

hi it's me the yagodahead here. she indeed did do all that (corruption, lying, embezzlement of state funds, anti-stalin conspiracy, murdered gorky's son to get with his wife, tattled about the homo-sexual underground and caused the criminalization of homosexuality in the ussr nearly singlehandedly, generally behaved like a sullen teenager and pissed everyone off by being dramatic and stubborn in her bureaucratic fights, hoarded random shit like antique tableware and weapons and pornographic films and pornographically carved pipes and 2000 roses and orchids and a single (1) dildo, had contemporary rpf written about her while she was sentenced to death) but she was tma-coded and got super cancelled and she was cute when she was languishing in jail and having panic attacks and begging to see her wife and then she disgraced herself in court in the trial of twenty one and was shot for her crimes soooooooooo

for a few years now ive been wanting a fandom for the USSR similar to what they have over at frev or napoleonica and im pretty happy that it's now forming but i think we're focusing too much on the better people, where's the critical love for khrushchev "guys dni if you're a revisionist but also khrushchev is my pookie bear blorblo"
