I can't stop thinking about how Sara Lance got her happiness as a clone and the real one is dead

And no body cared in the show and outside, because she got a perfect copy with her memories to continue her life. I guess I just have to imagine her soul is with her sister's and they both kick ass in the after life.

The woman who inspired us all with how she protects women was killed and cloned off screen by a man, who artificially created a female clones to serve him as slaves. I mean how twisted is that, and how is nobody seeing how sexist it is.

There's something so sinister about the fact that Katara is shunted away from the story when she should be way more involved in Korra's arc. Korra's seemingly main conflict is her sheltered life with her fiery passion for enacting justice and learning to temper it with diplomacy. Who's an old person in the series that has dealt with injustice, who always took direct action to correct them in any way she can and had moved to a more diplomatic role once there wasn't an active war?

Katara fits so well in Korra's story it's not even funny. Imagine Korra having a mentor from the devastated but resilient Southern Water Tribes that was the THE last water bender at a point and can absolutely do girl talk with? Imagine Korra having a tangible connection to the history of her Tribe. Imagine writing Korra to have connections to the place that was the next most affected by the war. Imagine writing a Korra where that mattered to her character.

The way she was canonically written, she don't really give a damn. And that's heartbreaking. And most likely a blind spot with the writers. Especially when passing down cultural traditions and respecting elders is one the most important things to happen to communities where there were attempts to erase them.

It is not classist that Jason, a vigilante in a *family of vigilantes*, is violent like the rest | just | because he comes from a poor family

What's (more likely) classist is writers thinking he needs to be taught right vs wrong from Bruce and co and that he consequently makes snap judgments out of some childish grudge-fueled rebellion which makes him dangerous the way a toddler holding a knife is dangerous

We know how Sara Lance likes her coffee, black with lots of sugar! We learn that early on in Legends Season One. You might like your coffee differently and that's fine, so is artistic liberty in matters the show didn't elaborate on but if the show gave us the answer, stick with it. And the shows gave us several people's coffee preferences. Sara drinks it black with two sugars, Oliver likes it black, Felicity drinks a none fat latte with extra sugar (that makes zero sense on a nutrition level) just to name a few. We got the info. So do your research. Use another methaphor. Sorry things like that just really annoy me. But then again, I spend hours working out the smallest detail and researching things like Max Fuller's wife's name...

She doesn't like her coffee bitter, like her relationships and dirty martini, the woman mainly drinks scotch!, like do your research if you use it as something to make a point about a character and their actions.

And Sara was not sleeping with whoever tickled her fancy during her time with the Legends. There were a few choice people she hooked up with but she wasn't sleeping her way through time as so many Avalance people would like to make it out.

And who the hell thinks Ava's sweet while Oliver is bitter? It's like the exact opposite. Oliver's the sweetest person on the planet, Ava is so fucking bitter it's not even funny anymore.

And I don't why I'm over here ranting. Blame it on all the people tagging fics as Canarow simply for mentioning the fact that Sara used to date Oliver. That's a fact, you don't need to tag it that for two sentences.

I swear I get heat for also tagging a Canarrow story Olicity because technically in the story Oliver is with Felicity as in the present but Avalance and Olicity people tag a story Canarrow just because Sara and Oliver having been together is mentioned or they break up in the first chapter and them actually being together is never shown in the story.

Make it make sense and stop tagging your toxic bullshit with my ship! There are so few Canarrow fics out there don't throw your anti-fics in there I don't want to see those toxic ships under my happy tag.

I think I'm done now.

And where are my fellow Canarrow writers at? I sort of want to go through with "there can't be a none Canarrow ship at the top of the Canarrow tag" but I'm one person, my muse is flakey and given the amount of Avalance and Olicity people that are currently falsely tagging their fics Canarrow I will not be able to do that.

Wow this post just turned into something entirely different.

Anyway... I hope everyone has a great day.

While I disagree with a lot of people's critcisms on how the Beifong drama was handled, I will certainly agree that the episodes surrounding Lin and Su's relationship was.... weird.

Because it really felt like we were being set up to side with Lin completely. The entire "Old Wounds" episode focused mainly one her. On her flashbacks, on her emotional discomfort, on her perception of Suyin. Which isn't to say that those things should've been disregarded.

But in comparison, Suyin, the other half of the coin (so to speak) gets very little.

Sure, she gets to talk a little bit about how she saw her childhood at the tail end of "The Metal Clan" but that's really it. We don't see any flashbacks from her PoV. And the way she speaks about her trauma doesn't pack as much of an emotional punch as Lin's scenes do. Which is in character, due to the fact that Su has been able to evolve past her traa, while Lin has been clinging to it for 20+ years and allowing it to fester.

I think it would've gone a long way to include some scenes that would focus more on Suyin, since most viewers won't be inclined to look at her compassionately. Not when we see Suyin mainly through Lin's eyes. Lin sees Su as the "problem" in her life, so we also see Su that way. It's very difficult to untangle Su from Lin's perception of Su.

The storyline becomes stranger still when it reaches a very abrupt resolution. It does feel very sudden. It does feel unnatural. It also feels like a disservice to Lin's character. We've seen her go through all this shit.... and now we just. Are supposed to forget all that?

It's odd... where the storyline itself favours Suyin, the narrative seems to "favour" Lin? It's certainly no shocker people feel like Lin was fucked over by the story. I'm of the belief that both sisters deserved better.

The original post didn't have reblogs, so I'll just repost here

Amazing. I'm also trying the hardest I can to bring Legends of Chima's anti-war messaging to life. Even though there are military systems in Chima's tribes, this doesn't mean that none of the characters can be pacifists. Laval, a pacifist and TFLOC protagonist, is a prince, and his uncle is the commander-in-chief of the Lion Tribe; huge contrasts like these also help immensely with getting your point across in a story!

Come on, there are many things you can say about Legends of tomorrow, but cancelled prematurely like First Kill or Warrior Nun or Willow is not one of them. Yeesh.

[itachi86]

i still don't like this writer!mick thing

[wherearemyfemaleheroes]

I still do not find this as rebelling but more as contributing. Their main sapphic character was still subjected to the violence of death, killing her and bringing her back was still not a good story, repetitive and meaningless brutality, and in the end she ends as a clone and her human self dies for real. So to be honest all of you just supported another bad trope.

legends of tomorrow rebelling against the “bury your gays” trope by killing one of their sapphic main characters 14+ times and bringing her back every time

HP and me

Just saw a post talking about how the JK Rowling’s debacle was more about killing a whole subculture and not just the book series and I want to tell my story without hijacking the original post.

When the news went out, I was shocked. I felt betrayed. “Weird”, I thought. “I don’t even know any trans person.” Over the years, I’ve been educating myself, learning how society is evolving. People taught me queer people must have a problem, that that’s not normal. But, who’s to say what’s normal? As someone who was bullied during all high school, I’ve learnt to be kind to people, no matter how they look or what they like or anything. As someone who was severely brokenhearted, I’ve learnt to appreciate love. Love is love, no matter if it’s a boy and a girl, two boys, two girls or even more or whatever they want to be. Let people be happy, life is hard enough.

At that point in my life, I was trying to be more inclusive in my books. I was writing Kylkos, which has a trans character. I want Gingaria to be a place for everyone and to make everyone feel welcome. That’s how society works now. And there’s nothing wrong with it. Then, I realized.

My old room had a whole wall covered in cabinets, proudly showcasing my huge (and I mean huge) LEGO Harry Potter collection. I had the English and Spanish versions of the books. All the movies. Props and replicas. I had just improved my Hermione cosplay with a new robe, jumper, skirt and wig. I had been a proud Gryffindor since the very first test I took on the very first website.

For years, I’ve been asking for LEGO toys. LEGO Harry Potter toys. My mother and I read and reread the books and did custom LEGO builds and figurines. My Hermione cosplay was my go-to cosplay when I wanted something comfy and perfect for cold weather. Actually, Hermione was like my role model (I have bushy hair and big front teeth too) and my grandma knitted me a Gryffindor scarf that I wore for school for years and years. I was excited to watch the movies, to read the books, to see the new merchandising. I’ve even been to the Universal Parks and couldn’t stop smiling when entering Diagon Alley, the train to Hogwarts or Hogsmeade!

I was like: “What now?”. Something felt wrong, terribly wrong. How can I be an author with a world where everyone is welcome, how can I cosplay Hermione again without feeling guilty? HP was my life for several years. Even though I started drifting away when the sixth book came out and it was too “cheesy” for my taste, I was an avid fan for most of my teenage years and even later.

“What now?” I have thousands of euros spent on LEGO HP. Hundreds on my cosplay. Heck, I even made an HP video for university! The HP books (between others) inspired me to become a writer! Hermione was one of my very first cosplays! I had all the sticker albums! I’ve played most of the videogames! What now?

Now, most of my stuff is in boxes, due to the subway that has destroyed my city and my house. All my LEGOs are packed as well. Of course, I can still try to enjoy the books and movies (not a big fan of the movies, BTW) and cosplay Hermione. But I can’t. It feels wrong. It feels like betraying. Betraying my ideals, betraying those who are suffering and betraying my readers (I don’t have many, but still).

And it’s sad. A big part of my life was suddenly ripped out. My full LEGO collection doesn’t make any sense now. It’s all… gone. I went to a mall that coincidentally has a huge HP shop and couldn’t buy anything because it felt so wrong. I don’t want to support it, I don’t want to spend my money on it anymore. I will always remember the good times, watching the movies, reading the books, playing with my LEGOs… I’m thankful for having lived in that magical world for a while. I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy it fully again. I’ll probably sell most of my LEGOs once I have some place to stay. Maybe I won’t cosplay Hermione anymore. But I’ll try to move on because that.... that feels right.

hi i just saw some of ur posts on anti-psychiatry and then kept reading more on ur blog about what it is. for the most part i agree with what you've said about how capitalism uses psychiatry to designate people who are bad/abnormal and how it aligns itself w/ misogyny, racism, and so on. with that said i think i have some similar concerns/questions as another asker about what this means for those who do/would suffer even in a non-capitalist society, even if we didn't ascribe a specific label to X symptoms. if we are opposed to psychiatry, what are the options for people today who are suffering and want help? are you opposed to psychopharmaceuticals and therapy? i dont mean to ask this in a confrontational/accusatory way, i'm just new to this and genuinely curious

There are a few different parts to your question & so there are a few different angles to approach it from—

are you opposed to psychopharmaceuticals and therapy?

If this means "are anti-psych writers and activists opposed to individuals seeking treatment that they personally find helpful," then, no—a couple posts in my psychiatry tag do clarify this.

If it means "are there anti-psych critiques of psychopharmaceuticals and therapy," then, yes. Keep in mind that I'm not a neurobiologist or otherwise an expert on medications marketed as treatments for mental illnesses, but:

The evidence for the effectiveness of SSRIs in particular is sort of non-existent—even many psychiatrists who promote the biomedical model of mental illness doubt their efficacy, and refer to the "chemical imbalance" theory that enforces their usage as "an outmoded way of thinking" or "a kind of urban legend—never a theory seriously propounded by well-informed psychiatrists." But promoting SSRIs (and corresponding "serotonin deficiency" theory of depression, despite the fact that no solid evidence links depression to low serotonin) is very profitable for pharmaceutical companies. Despite the fact that direct-to-consumer advertisements are nominally regulated in the U.S., the FDA doesn't challenge these claims.

Other psychotropic drugs, such as "antipsychotics" or "antianxiety" medication, shouldn't really be called e.g. "antipsychotics" as if they specifically targeted the biological source of psychosis. No biological cause of any specific psychiatric diagnosis has been found (p. 851, section 5.1). In fact, rather than "act[ing] against neurochemical substrates of disorders or symptoms," these medications "produc[e] altered, drug induced states"—but despite the fact that they "produce global alterations in brain functioning," they are marketed as if they had "specific efficacy in reducing psychotic symptoms." Reactions to these medications that don't have to do with psychosis or anxiety (blunted affect, akathisia) are dismissed as "side effects," as though they don't arise from the same global alteration in brain function that produces the "desirable" antianxiety/antipsychotic effect. This doesn't mean "psychiatric medication turns you into a zombie so you shouldn't take it"—it means that these medications should be marketed honestly, as things that alter brain function as a whole, rather than marketed as if they target specific symptoms in a way that they cannot do, in accordance with a biomedical model of mental illness the accuracy of which has never been substantiated.

Psychiatrised people also point out that meds are used as a tool for furthering and maintaining psychiatrists' control: meds that patients are hesitant about or do not want are pushed on them, while patients who desire medication are "drug-seeking" or trying to take on the role of clinician or something and will routinely be denied care. Psychiatrised people who refuse medications are "noncompliant" and prone to psychiatric incarceration, re-incarceration, or continued/lengthened incarceration.

As for therapy: there are critiques of certain therapies (e.g. CBT, DBT) as unhelpful, status-quo-enforcing, forcing compliance, retraumatising &c. There are also critiques of therapy as representing a capitalist outsourcing of emotional closeness and emotional work away from community systems that people largely don't have in place; therapy as existing within a psychiatric system that constrains how therapists, however well-intentioned, are able to behave (e.g. mandatory reporting laws); psychotherapy forced on psychiatrised people as a matter of state control; therapists as being in a dangerous amount of power over psychiatrised people and being hailed as neutral despite the fact that their emotions and politics can and do get in the way of them being helpful. The wealth divide in terms of access to therapy is also commonly talked about; insurance (in the U.S.) or the NHS (in England) may only pay for pre-formulated group workbook types of therapy such as DBT, while more long-form, free-form, relationship-focused talk therapy may only be accessible to those who can pay 100-something an hour for it.

None of these critiques make it unethical or something for someone to get treatment that they find helpful. It's also worth noting that some of these critiques may be coming from "anti-psych" people who criticise the sources of psychiatric power, and some of them may come from people who think of themselves as advocating for reform of some of the most egregious effects of psychiatric power.

if we are opposed to psychiatry, what are the options for people today who are suffering and want help?

This looks like a few different things at a few different levels. At its most narrow and individual, it involves opting out of and resisting calls for psychiatrisation and involuntary institutionalisation of individuals—not calling the cops on people who are acting strange in public, breaking mandatory reporting laws and guidelines where we think them likely to cause harm. It involves sharing information—information about antipsychiatry critiques of psychiatric institutions, advice about how to manage therapists' and psychiatrists' egos, advice about which psychiatrists to avoid—so that people do not blame themselves if they find their encounters with psychiatry unhelpful or traumatising.

At the most broad, it's the same question as the question of how to build dual power and resist the power of capitalism writ large—building communal structures that present meaningful alternatives to psychiatry as an institution. I think there's much to be learned here from prison abolitionists and from popular movements that seek to protect people from deportation. You might also look into R. D. Laing's Kingsley Hall experiment.

what does this mean for those who would suffer even in a non-capitalist society, even if we didn't ascribe a specific label to X symptoms?

It means that people need access to honest, reliable information about what psychotropic medications do, and the right to chuse whether or not to take these medications without the threat of a psychiatrist pulling a lever that immediately restricts or removes their autonomy. It means that people need to be connected to each other in communities with planned, free resources that ensure that everyone, including severely disabled people whom no one particularly likes as individuals, has access to basic resources. It means that people need to be free to make their own choices regarding their minds and their health, even if other people may view those decisions as disastrous. There is simply no defensible way to revoke people's basic autonomy on the basis of "mental illness" (here I'm not talking about e.g. prison abolitionist rehabilitative justice types of things, which must restrict autonomy to be effective).

Also, I've mostly left the idea of who this would actually be untouched, since my central argument ("psychiatry as it currently exists is part of the biomedical arm of capitalism and the state, and the epistemologies it produces and employs and the power it exerts are thus in the service of capitalism and the state") doesn't really rest on delineating who would and wouldn't suffer from whatever mental differences they have regardless of what society they're in. But it's worth mentioning that the category of "people who are going to suffer (to whatever degree) no matter what" may be narrower than some would think—psychosis, for instance, is sometimes experienced very differently by people in societies that don't stigmatise it. I see people objecting to (their interpretations of) antipsych arguments with things along the lines of "well maybe depression and anxiety are caused by capitalism, but I'm schizophrenic so this doesn't apply to me"—as though hallucinations are perforce more physically "real," more "biological," more "extra-cultural" in nature than something like depression. But the point is that positing a specific neurobiological etiology for any psychiatric diagnosis is unsubstantiated, and that capitalist society affects how every "mental illness" is read and experienced (though no one is arguing that e.g. hallucinations wouldn't always exist in some form).

The whole giant Beeboo vs Mallus thing may have been funny, but it’s part and parcel of everything that went wrong with LoT, as a show. It didn’t start as a comedy, but then they decided to stop taking themselves even one bit seriously and down the hill it went.

One anti-furry bill died, the other two wait to be heard

(This blog post was originally posted on the Otherkin News blog on DreamWidth by Orion Scribner on March 24, 2024.)

Content warnings: Rated G. An urban legend that describes an unsanitary situation. Sexism against transgender people, including attempts to prevent them from going to school or using facilities, and outing children to their parents. A straw-man version of furries being used to try to discredit transgender people, in a way that could cause trouble for people who identify as nonhuman.

So far this year, Republicans have proposed three pieces of legislation that are opposed to furries or people who identify as nonhuman. That’s something they started doing last year, inspired by an urban legend about litter boxes in public schools, which they made up in parody of transgender students asking to use school restrooms. We’ve been ending up calling these “anti-furry bills” as we keep track of them in our Otherkin News blog. Furry isn’t the accurate word, but it is the word that Republicans use in the urban legend and usually in the bills too. Every once in a while, I’m checking on the status of the bills, and trying to see if there are any new ones. Here is the update for this week.

1. Oklahoma House Bill 3084 (OK HB 3084) “Schools; prohibiting certain students from participating in school curriculum or activities; effective date.”

Background: We wrote about this bill in detail in a previous Otherkin News post. The bill says that furry students should be taken out of school by animal control. Its only sponsor (writer) is Justin Humphrey (he/him). This seems linked with his opposition to LGBTQ people, as well as his efforts to legalize animal fighting. Later, Jim Olsen (he/him) took over as principal sponsor of the bill. He proposed changing it to have the same text as an unrelated bill of his, one requiring public school classrooms to display the Ten Commandments.

Update: The bill’s current status hasn’t changed since our last update. It’s still at 25% progression toward becoming a law. Its text hasn’t changed from what it was originally, so it's still about furries.

2. Mississippi House Bill 176 (MS HB 176) “Gender dysphoria; require school personnel to notify parents of student who request to be referred to as different gender or nonhuman.”

Background: This was introduced at the same time as the first bill. As we previously wrote about it, the bill is mostly against transgender students in a way that could put them in real danger. It would require schools to out transgender students to parents, and to allow faculty to not accommodate any student who “identif[ies] at school as a gender or pronoun that does not align with the child's sex on their birth certificate, other official records, sex assigned at birth, or identifying as an animal species, extraterrestrial being or inanimate object.”

Update: This bill’s current status is dead! Hooray! It died in committee on March 3. When a bill dies, that means that it won’t progress toward becoming a law.

3. Missouri House Bill 2678 (MO HB 2678) “Prohibits students from engaging in ‘furry’ behavior while at school”

Background: We previously wrote about this bill. The bill says to pull students out of school for being furries or purporting to be animals. The bill’s only sponsor is Cheri Toalson Reisch (she/her). This appears to be connected with her opposition to transgender people as well as her efforts to undermine public schools in favor of charter schools.

Updates: This bill hasn’t changed or moved forward. It’s still the same as it was when it was introduced. A hearing hasn’t been scheduled for it, and it’s not on a House calendar.

❝ hosanna. ❞

── darth vader x reader

MINORS DNI 18+ WORD COUNT: 1.3k SUMMARY: you live to serve your sith lord. NOTES: as a former christian child, this song speaks to me on a level i cant explain. it is not a testament to my current religious standpoint, this is not pro or anti anything. merely a song analysis format in the perspective of a darth vader smut writer. "hosanna" by hillsong united. @xstarkillerx heavily influenced this fic. WARNINGS: heavy religious themes | sexual content | coitus | unprotected sex | virginity loss | objectification | worship | size difference | mentioned: blood, suicide.

Heal my heart and make it clean.

“Please, my lord.” your desperate croak echoes against the floor as you press your forehead to the stone in your kneel. You beg not for traditional mercy, but rightful extinction. To bask in the company of the Sith Lord DARTH VADER can only mean one thing. Finally, your mistake will be remedied. You’ll be scorched from the face of this planet by his righteous fire, fit to continue your spiritual journey with the help of his guided and generous hand. When it raises to clench around your neck, to squeeze the life from you, your soul will escape your wretched and human body.

Open up my eyes to the things unseen.

Sights you cannot fathom, planes you cannot reach, heavens you are unallowed to cross all become possible in the benevolence of his presence. A great exhilaration, the cathartic rush you’ve been bound to chasing your entire lifespan is at your fingertips. They prickle in anticipation, driving you to near tears over the discovery of divinity. To be at his feet overwhelms you, and you’re wracked with sobs. The pilgrimage you’ve been tasked with is at its end. Darth Vader stands before you, and you cannot bring yourself to utter another word in fear.

Show me how to love like You have loved me.

You’re brought to stand. His hand cups your chin, and you burn from his touch. By his grip, he raises your gaze, and you scan the ample length of his imposing form. Cloaked in black, shrouded in terrifying mystery, your weeping is quieted in the presence of his glory. The image of his expressionless mask in front of you runs your blood cold. You’ve seen his likeness etched into your planet’s culture, yet that awe is incomparable to the one that roars through your veins now. Legends depict his dark figure as a hunter. An insatiable pursuant that stops at nothing until the galaxy is cleansed. His abysmal love for all things is shown through his relentless protection of it. With a step, he shakes the very crust of the terrain he walks upon; with a wave of his mighty hand, corrupt civilizations fall and armies stab themselves so as not to face him; under his leadership, his empire thrives and spreads to the untouched and the perverted in his name. Dry mouth struggles to swallow as he remains silent, doubtlessly counting your sins as he scrutinizes you. You always knew you were to be judged, and here it is. Yet, you’re stupefied. His thumb against you does not feel like you thought it would, pinching your skin coldly.

Break my heart for what breaks Yours.

“Do I displease you?” you whisper. A single tear breaks from your eye in your tremble, grazing your cheek as it falls. A knuckle comes to dab at the moisture, and you flinch. His encasing is to hide his unseeable majesty from the galaxy. It is said a single look upon his true self will devour you whole, tearing you to shreds where you stand, and blaze your eyes from their sockets. If you survive the encounter, you’ll live out the rest of your blackened life consumed by his image as the last thing you saw, in blind search of it through endless deserts. Already you condemn yourself, cursing your own household for its transgressions against him and his vision, your appearance is unsatisfactory, your soul has been dipped in gold to weigh down the scales. You’ve been too prideful, vain, greedy. How could you have ever hoped to be here with him when you’re a demon in skin? He senses it, he must. You will atone.

Everything I am for Your kingdom's cause.

There is nothing you won’t do in his name. There is nothing that will keep you from him. Your boundless devotion towards the Sith Lord cannot be bought, cannot be measured. You are his vessel, a path to reach others, your eyes are his eyes. Can he see himself through you? If he, a being of endless power, were to attempt to inhabit your body, would you combust into ashes under his boot? Still, you try. Storms bend to his will, mountains bow by his word. What could you offer to him that is not within his scope? “Anything.” you plea through a broken voice, your hands hooking into your outerwear to pull it off your shoulders. His hand releases your jaw, and you step back for any offense you may have caused. Since his command suspends, you continue. Your straps are tugged down, and your knees buckle, dropping to the ground. Desperately, lovingly, you bare yourself to him, you crawl to his feet in worship.

As I walk from earth into eternity.

There’s nothing you don’t give him throughout the night. Anything you can comprehend is surrendered to him. You’re afraid. While he’s inside you, you’re afraid. Rooted deep, sheathed inside your purity, touching sacred parts of you that has never been offered to anyone else. You’re afraid of him. He’s said nothing, exhalting himself using you as you’ve invited him to, but in your eyes he’d need not ask. You are his. Large hands grasp your torso, bunching up the fabrics of your clothes, ripping seams more and more with each thrust. The pain of consummation is one you thank him for with lachrymal essence dripping down the corners of your eyes, wetting your hairline. The sins of the flesh are a stranger to you, until he breaks your virginity, fucking you through the blood. So as not to surprise him, you swallow your cry with a palm over your lips. Disillusioned with your surroundings, focused on the heat where your bodies meet, you notice how he’s changed his pace. A gentler angle to his hips as he caresses your insides with his member. Regardless of its stiffness, the velvety outer layer is sweet against your walls. True rapture introduces itself to you, growing in pleasure with each stroke. His cape veils your nakedness to the outside world, shielding you as he presses you to him in a surprising demonstration of humanity. Symbolically, your forehead kisses the crest of his headpiece, a stark contrast from the stone you’d bowed on, he is showing you forgiveness. Humility. He is grateful. The sensation of being filled by him becomes not only bearable, but welcome. Your wails are no longer wracked with the despair of ache, but of staggering passion. Newfound life flows through you, rejuvenating you, manifesting in the beads of sweat on your brow, and the tears of thankfulness as they stream from your blurring gaze. On the edge of your peak, you take pride. He wants you. He wants you. He wants you.

Hosanna, Hosanna.

You can’t see yourself, but you’re outside your body. The warmth of existence embraces you, curling around you like smoke. There’s nothing but comfort here. Nothing but a stretch of unconditional love and acceptance. Finally, finally you’re here. You’ve reached your heavens. You can feel it all around you. It is the light. It is eternity. It is. It is. It is.

You are. You are. You are.

As you open your eyes, the fleeting feeling dissipates. The prickle softens, your breathing evens out, the white hot sensation of your orgasm passes over you. No. No. No. It was right there, it was in your hands. You’re alerted as he pulls from you, the wet sounds of your joint pleasures spill from your spasming entrance, pouring down your body that still remains. Your body that drew your soul back in from salvation. Darth Vader does not realize he’d given you a taste of the Force in his ecstasy, entwining your souls to see through each other’s eyes for one honored moment. Nor does he foresee the future of you begging for him over and over again, just for a mere taste of it at your climax.

Thanks for answering, Badgermole! For me, Korra isn't my favourite Avatar (she's more in my top 3), but Aang's still my least favourite of the known Avatars. It's not that I hate him or anyhing, it's just that I can't help but like all the other Avatars more (even Roku and Wan). Not to mention, he's pretty boring and in hindsight, a bit infuriating with the whole energybending and pointy rock BS in the finale.

I understand why you didn't want any context, since you needed to read the Kyoshi novels to understand the context anyway I remember it was from @kyoshist's TikTok account (timestamps 1:46-2:45 of this video if anyone else wants to see the footage for yourselves). For context, Avatar Wan had just revealed that Avatar Kuruk was (SPOILER ALERT) r@ped by one of his maids when she got him drunk on wine (worse, he was hospitalized after he killed a spirit), and Korra wanted to throw her grave in a volcano as justice for him (which is GREAT). But then Aang (and tbf, every other Avatar besides Wan (who was enjoying the chaos) and Kyoshi (who actually supported her)) tried to stop Korra from doing that, and Aang even said the same thing he said to Katara right before she went to confront Yon Rha ("It's easy to do nothing, but it's hard to forgive.")

THAT was an example of Aang not only disregarding a Water Tribe Avatar suffering from abuse (Kuruk), but ALSO taking the chance to impose his Air Nomad morality on ANOTHER Water Tribe Avatar (Korra, who is his literal SUCCESSOR)! To be fair, this isn't canon (it's a parody of the Avatar Cycle), but given what we've seen of Aang's negative qualities in the show (his Air Nomad superiority, his disrespect of other cultures (particularly SWT), and his lack of empathy), I can't help but think that he's really in character in this segment.

To add salt to the wound, AANG had also disregarded Katara's consent by kissing her TWICE without asking for it (DoBS and EIP). If Kuruk found out about the EIP kiss especially, he would've INSTANTLY spawned up in the real world and beaten Aang so hard he would have entered the Avatar State, all faster than you could say "That's rough buddy."

Although, to be fair to Aang, it was Wan who revealed it without Kuruk's permission, with the intention to make Kuruk upset about it. If ANYONE has the right to disclose private information like this, it's Kuruk.

Good morning, Lady Badgermole!

So, I found this comment on an ATLA TikTok video, and...

... since around 98% of your brain matter is dedicated specifically to trash-talking A@ng (which I for one really admire, the fandom needs more people as honest about their opinions as you), I think I already know your reaction to this comment 😅. Would you like any context surrounding the comment?

Bonus question: Have you read the Avatar novels or watched Legend of Korra? If so, who's your favourite Avatar (assuming A@ng is your least favourite)?

I don't need context. This comment is true in any context.

As for who my favorite Avatar is, I haven't read the novels, so it's Korra by default. Even though the show wasn't very good, she was at least more interesting than Aang
