I have been rewatching the show, and I keep thinking that Ted HAD to make up all that about Barney. Why? Because I like defending mysoginistic pigs? Fucking hell, no. But because, first and foremost: every creepy thing Ted had done, he (the writers) twisted and turned to make it seem as if it was ok and nice and romantic in his pursue of true love. Secondly, I have met my fair share of dreadful men, and no, not one them changes because they have a daughter, they usually become way worse and do not become great fathers either. And Yes, people do chance, but that kind of change one to one's very core does not happen because the men had a daughter. So, author of this post, thank you for putting into words my thoughts exactly.
Barney Stinson
I know there is a pretty solid theory that Ted exaggerated Barney’s character and sex drive and overall doucheyness in order to convince his kids that it was okay for him to go after Robin, but I’m gonna take that a step further. What if he made it up entirely?
Like Barney went to San Francisco to bring Lily back to Marshall. He paid for Marshall and Lily’s honeymoon. He went on The Price is Right, and then gave Marshall and Lily every prize he won. When Ted got in a car accident, Barney RAN to the hospital. He got Robin a job to save her from being deported. This guy is the BEST FRIEND ANYONE COULD ASK FOR.
Then the Barney that Ted’s kids see is a single dad (and lets face it, plenty of good whole-hearted people have had one night stands or had a baby when they weren’t planning to), and is a GREAT dad to his little girl. And even continues to father any child he meets. Barney “a kid needs to have a hoop” Stinson is probably the dopest uncle a kid could ever have.
So then how does Ted convince his kids that it’s okay for him to make a move on Aunt Robin (their favorite uncle’s ex-wife, the woman Uncle Barney would still say is the love of his life)? He makes up stories about how Uncle Barney is a skeeze. How the nice things he did for them were almost always tainted by selfishness and sexual desire. Stories about how somehow Barney had sex with more women than Ted did himself (Ted sleeps with a bunch of women while preaching that he’s “a nice guy”).
But then how does that line up with the Barney the kids know? Oh right, he had a one night stand with a girl whose name he can’t remember... she had a baby and Barney was changed forever.
Barney didn’t change. Barney is selfless. He loves his friends. He loves Robin and always will. He loves his kid and his niece and nephew. The rest is made up.

Ugh I will always love the concept of Katara using blood bending to revive Zuko after the last agni kai, mostly because it makes no sense to me that Zuko was able to bounce back so easily after being struck by lightning, but also because the way the show treats bloodbending is just odd to me. It was a defense mechanism created by a traumatized victim of some of the most devastating parts of colonization, and although I understand that Hama was supposed to symbolize the "bad parts" of waterbending and was important for Katara's growth in realizing that the world isn't entirely black and white, its still disappointing to me that the show never explored the gray areas of blood bending, especially since that episode was, as I stated above, about understanding the gray areas of the war. Katara using blood bending to revive Zuko would add so much to the last agni kai in demonstrating that she has truly realized that "good" and "evil" are relative concepts, and Zuko being saved by both a defense mechanism of a survivor of colonialism and a type of bending used to terrorize his people would have even added to his arc, as the narrative required him to save and subsequently be saved by the physical embodiment of everything his family sought to annihilate.
#also just the angst potential#there are so many fics and better metas written about this but I had to throw my two cents in#Bryke's refusal to acknowledge bloodbending as anything but evil incarnate is so fucking annoying#anti bryke#bloodbending#zutara#zuko#katara#final agni kai#atla#avatar the last airbender#atla meta#zutara meta#technically

the writers were very deliberate with the horrific oppression of zaun and caitlyn’s spiral into fascist dictatorship, and yet, nothing got resolved. only one individual was made a representative of zaun, while piltover has several. zaun won’t be heard, because it wasn’t given the chance to, even when one of their own was put on the council. caitlyn didn’t redeem herself, because nothing that she sacrificed or did could undo the fact that she gassed the people who her society oppressed. she quite literally weaponized the gas that was created as a result of the labor of the oppressed, which we know permanently disables and decreases the lifespan of those who are exposed to it longterm (the only ones affected by this are zaunites). her story feels wrong because she suffers no actual repercussions for her horrendous actions. the story falls flat and the writing seems disingenuous because decisions like this were made. they cared more about a ship than they did about either caitlyn or vi and both characters suffered for it. caitlyn faces no consequences for her actions and vi is made a narrative device who has no opinion and immediately sacrifices her morals and forgives caitlyn. this results in them having sex in a jail cell very similar to the one vi lived in for years because of people like caitlyn. it is very… weird.

Zutara, romance novels, and the female gaze
Okay so I’ve been thinking about the female gaze a LOT so I checked out a subreddit about romance novels, despite never having read one. I came across this meme (which was initially a Tumblr post and then got posted to Instagram and then to Reddit and I’m now bringing back to Tumblr — Internet telephone, pls never change):
And…what is The Southern Raiders, if not a platonic grovel? Katara’s pain is central to the episode. It’s central to Zuko. Zuko asks Katara what he can do to make up for his betrayal; she demands the impossible. He reads between the lines, cockblocks her brother to get the necessary information, and then waits outside her door overnight (which he also did for Iroh, the one person we know for sure he loves). He basically makes himself a receptacle for her rage, and he holds space for her by coming with her on her revenge quest and carrying their bags and not saying a damn thing about what she should and should not do beyond like…asking her to rest. And obviously the grovel works! She forgives him and then they’re thick as thieves, bantering and fighting and saving each other’s lives, etc.
On a different note, I’ve been told that enemies to lovers is one of the biggest tropes in romance novels, similar to YA lit and fanfic. Here’s something else I found in the romance novel discourse:
And…yeah. In TSR, Katara really does show Zuko her worst self, because she doesn’t feel the need to perform for him. She doesn’t feel the need to perform moral perfection OR cold blooded vengeance. She bloodbends in front of him and he just goes with it. She doesn’t kill Yon Rha and he just goes with it. He doesn’t treat her any differently afterwards. Maybe they talk about it off screen, but I kind of like the idea that they don’t, because Katara doesn’t need to explain anything. And it’s so interesting, because some people in the ATLA fandom have a totally different read on TSR. They think Zuko was encouraging Katara to get revenge (by what, keeping his mouth shut?), and that Aang is the one who acts as her moral compass. I believe that either Bryan or Mike said in the DVD commentary that Aang is the angel on her shoulder the entire time. And this interpretation does make sense if you see it from the male gaze, where Katara as an object of affection is acting in an angry, irrational, threatening way. But if you see it from the female gaze, you recognize that actually it’s probably the most emotionally taxing experience Katara has to go through, and she doesn’t owe it to be nice or perfect to anybody. Katara’s formative trauma literally comes to a head, and she has to make a decision — no, a discovery — about who she is in relation to the tragedy that defines her life and even her identity (as a waterbender, as a parentified child who becomes the mom friend, as a genocide victim), and she’s accompanied by someone who trusts her judgement and validates her feelings.
I’m not saying TSR is explicitly romantically coded, but when it conforms so well to romance novel tropes…is it any wonder that so many people thought “yes this is her man?” And then he takes lightning in the heart for her and reaches for her when he’s literally dying, I will never be normal about that either

I will not let anyone forget that the minute feyre was back in spring with her insane revenge plan in mind,the first thing tamlin does is admit his behavior in acomaf was wrong and he apologizes without trying to make excuses for anything he did. And we see him in acowar actually trying to be different and going through with his words here.
A man reflecting back on his behavior and admitting he’s wrong and apologizing without giving us a 7 page monologue full of excuses?? Unacceptable!!! Kill him!!!
#he was so hopeful it actually kills me#feyre’s revenge plan would’ve been girlboss if this wasn’t tamlin literally the second she got back#it’s like he was just waiting to finally be able to apologize to her#“tamlin’s too prideful he never admits he’s wrong” WHATS THIS THEN HUH#acotar#a court of thorns and roses#acomaf#anti acomaf#tamlin acotar#pro tamlin#feyre critical#anti sjm#tamlin they could never make me hate you

A star is born 🌟
I just had to redesign Hera’s fertility goddess form. In all ways possible, I wanted her to be opposite of Kronos, hence the total makeover.
I based her color palette off of a neutron star! Neutron stars are technically dead stars and she was “dead” there for a minute so I figured that would go hand in hand.
Hope you like my redesign (click for better resolution) ✨
