#at the same time im very very hungry...

[knight-engale]

I know you shouldn't cry over spilt milk or make a big deal out of small things but... my siblings ate the last two slices of pizza while I was in the shower, and while I DID already have two pieces, I'm like. Genuinely very upset. Because I'm still hungry, and now the only thing that sounds genuinely appealing is gone... idk, maybe it's more of a "straw that broke the camel's back" thing, because I've had a really really long day. I worked a nearly double shift (only about two hours less than a double shift) today, and my feet and back hurt even after a long, hot shower, I'm feeling kind of overstimulated (I hear and feel EVERYTHING right now, please help), and now I can't really satisfy my continued hunger... Same vibes as a toddler crying over something that's very easily fixed. It's not JUST the One Thing, it's the accumulation of Things, and the One Thing was just the tipping point.

HI HELLO!! I JUST FINISHED “Into the Fire” A COUPLE DAYS AGO!!

I would say my thoughts about it but I have too many thoughts but I also don’t wanna fill your asks with 20 million anons so,

after I finished it I decided to re-read from LIAB and bro…

That shit broke me.

The way you perfectly constructed sokka’s arc, like I swear everything was intentional

He literally went from “it took years for him to get comfortable killing” to “he was always so good with people, that’s was before he started killing them” and from “if he felt a way about something he would most definitely share it” to literally hiding everything that happened to him from people he trusts. Wow.

Once again, absolutely amazed by your incredible writing skills, like actually impeccable.

Enough of me being philosophical,

YOU GAVE BATO A BF!!! HE CAN FINALLY GET OVER HIS HIGH SCHOOL CRUSH!!! AND JEE GETS TO BE HAPPY!!! AAAAHHH!! I’m so happy for them (ik they aren’t even an item yet but still, super happy for them)

Hooray for Ara!! She got her closure, and now she can start a new, healthier, happier lifestyle. Congratulations to my favorite violent dog!! May she get what she deserves (ominous)

But the way she just.. told Katara about zukka being together?? Like, no hesitation.

“Whoops, thought you were banging my brother. Sorry lol.”

“No lmao it’s okay. Zuko’s deff banging him though”

“WHAT?!”

“Yeah lol. Toodles!!”

And then she just- LEAVES?? honestly mood though.

i liked how sweet and genuine she sounded when explaining zukka’s love story though, that was so good of her, she didn’t even talk them down or anything. It was actually so nice.

Can’t wait to see what you do for Jet, really really hope my little street rat gets better. on agni we gonna get you some will to live!!

So many exciting things happening I can’t wait!!

-suki closure!!

-TOPH AND SOKKA BONDING!!!

-IROH AND SOKKA’S TEA TALK!!!!!

literally have said this a million times but actually super scared for sokka for the last bit (zhao tea talks usually didn’t go well)

But I also feel like ur gonna make that an iroh pov… (I’m an empath) so I’ll stay tuned!!

Yue and La bless my favorite water tribe man Hakoda! He loves his kids so much I hope nothing bad happens to them (this is gonna be foreshadowing isn’t it?)

But anyways!!

I wanted to finally tell you about music!!

It’s gonna be a lot of mitski cus she’s one of my main artists I listen to but still,

I thought about “once more to see you” by mitski A LOT throughout RIA and a little bit now through ITF, it fits this part of the story perfectly (in my opinion). It’s literally just zukka through sokka’s pov.

Another one is “Christmas Kids” by ROAR, this one is more for LIAB, and a little bit of RIA, (can you tell I make the edits in my head?) But this time the choruses/verses change pov or can just be seen as multiple characters.

“First Love/Late Spring” by mitski fits zukka through zuko’s pov

And “I bet on loosing dogs” by mitski is Ara with zhao/shen

Now this one is very specific:

“Vampire Empire” by Big Thief

The first verse to the first chorus is LIAB-RIA kataang through aang’s thoughts about katara,

the second verse to the second chorus is zukka LIAB-RIA (and now more recently the current ITF situation) told as per sokka’s pov

And the third verse to the final chorus is how Ara feels about zhao. Like their entire history.

Okay that’s it sorry for bombarding you with my random ass disorganized ask 😭 I’ve been yapping too much, I know, I sound like Reho. Sorry if I said anything disrespectful!!

Anyway!! Can’t wait for the next update!! STAY SUPER DUPER AMAZING SSREEDER!!!

HI ANON WHO I ADORE & LOVE SO MUCH I AM SO SORRY FOR TAKING 10000 YEARS TO ANSWER THIS. (In my defense it’s a perfect 10/10 ask and I couldnt let it go right away<3)

I AM SO SO SO SO SO SOOOOOO happy you enjoyed sokkas arc because damn, I really dismantled him throughout the series and the way you highlighted some of the details about sokka pre prison and how he did a drastic 180 is *CHEFS KISS* yeahhhhhh it was a long process but I’m glad you noticed the intentional dedication I had to ruining our boy sokka <3 (i know I know he’s not ruined but he’s not in a great spot mentally but he’s getting better but hell regress and progress and regress and yeah sokkas just not the same I mean but we will love him and he’s still our SOKKA)

JEE DID GET HIMSELF A BOY FRAND… He is smitten with our boy Bato it’s cute.

Ara is hilarious that’s all I gotta say about her haha.

JET!!!!! I love him!!! He’s not the besttttt influence on Suki but FUCK IT JET IS AWESOME (don’t expect any life changing shit from him but I’m excited that he’ll stay a part of the story) sorry Jet haters he’s staying in LIAB till death does us part of the story ends haha.

oh shit you sent this ask before the last chapter was dropped so now you know ITS AN IROH AND ZUKO TEA TALK (& let me tell you HAAAAA… they’re wonderful in a room together haha)

I was trying to listen to all your songs before I answered your ask but I couldn’t get through all of them, but I will!! I love that you are so passionate about music and the scenes and characters I feel the same way and that’s why I always try to give you songs I’m vibing with lol.

THANK YOU AGAIN ANON AND PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DONT BE SHY COME BACK ANY TIME I LOVE YOUR ASK!!!!

[officialpenisenvy]

[altschmerzes]

very excited for the wild dogs are hungry...something about nat and richie has always made me slightly crazy

LITERALLY ME TOO. their dynamic obsesses me and that fic is like. the brainchild of that. (as is, in part, 'where do the lonely hearts go' which is about how the berzatto kids stole hosted christmas. and has a Thread about natalie and richie that im already losing my mind about.)

[maraeffect]

okay today was like the first time since surgery that i've been able to exist as a human outside my house!! and i had a great time even though i am PAYING FOR IT. HEAVILY 💀

[echo-s-land]

Someone told me that he 'like hanging around with me' and he 'love my smile' today

[skenpiel]

oh ok. i just figured out what my fucking problem is. its the endometriosis -_-

[zillyeh]

i like parallels and implying characters that oppose each other are the same but slightly to the left, when u start to notice superficial similarities which kind of break open that, at their core, these guys are actually incredibly alike and any of them could have been the other guy if circumstances were different

[jonny-b-meowborn]

When I'm stressed out I either binge eat to calm myself down, or I just can't eat. I could have my favorite meal in front of me, but if I'm stressed for any reason it feels like my throat is closed. Or even I completely stop feeling hungry. Fuck

[irlusa]

Dinner so far has been 7 olives but everything I can think of making (that i actualy have ingredients for) either takes forever + makes a million dishes or I'm sick of the ingredients bc I've eaten them too often in the past few weeks :(

[shatterthefragments]

Ok mum talked to me like an adult now that she’s slept instead of sulking and apparently slamming the door as she came in was to ‘slam the door on me’

[transgaysex]

im all OVER the PLACE

[mesetacadre]

this might be a silly question, but. ive recently learned more about the devastating effects of sanctions on countries like cuba, dprk, or venezuela, and how much unnecessary suffering they cause among the population, especially when it comes to food or medicine shortages. but then bds also calls for sanctions against israel, and im wondering, is there any meaningful difference between that and the sanctions already imposed by the US on other countries? i feel a bit hypocritical when i argue against sanctions while at the same time supporting bds, i feel like they are very different situations with different outcomes but i lack the understanding to really grasp how they are different, if that makes any sense

Sanctions are the systematic blockade of all or certain sectors of trade under military or economic threat by the sanctioner (mostly just the USA in recent history) to any potential agents who might try to ignore the sanction. These sanctions typically include things like medical supplies, food if the country is dependent on imports (like most countries who get sanctioned), electricity, fuel, both light and heavy industry, agricultural products and machines, the global financial system, and other such key sectors. These sanctions, overwhelmingly, only serve to impoverish the country, create undue suffering and political strife. This political strife/instability is usually the main goal of sanctions, to destabilize the target government. However, this political instability more often than not does not result in a magical restoration of "democracy" or "human rights", it usually leads the country down a path of further isolationism and political violence that only worsens its general situation. It also makes it much easier for factions like ISIS to gain popularity and support, since people are desperate. Sanctions are inhumane measures which only makes a country suffer for no good reason. The sanctioners know this, they don't care, and I'd wager that suffering is often the actual point of these sanctions. What has the 60 year old blockade achieved in Cuba? It has only caused pointless poverty, and the stated goal of the sanctions, which is to ultimately remove the communist government, has failed, is failing, and Cuba is managing to make due with what they have.

BDS call for sanctions mostly in regards to military equipment and related products/services, for NATO to stop aiding the genocide, or the banning of Israel from international events such as the olympics. No Israeli will ever go hungry because they no longer get European-made ordinance or because they don't get to participate in Eurovision. This is what BDS says in their Sanctions and governments campaign (which is behind two menus, this is also not the main focus of BDS, by far):

The BDS movement calls for sanctions against Israel, similar to the sanctions that were imposed against apartheid South Africa. These sanctions could include a military embargo, an end to economic links and the cutting of diplomatic ties. In the meantime, the BDS movement is calling for states to take steps to meet their legal obligations not to be complicit in the commission of particular Israeli crimes and not to provide recognition, aid or assistance that help Israel maintain its regime of settler colonialism, apartheid.. This includes, for example, the obligation for states to immediately end to all trade that sustains illegal Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and the suspension of free trade agreements and other bilateral agreements with Israel.

Notice the greater emphasis on military and diplomatic ties, and how economic/trade sanctions are only called for when it «sustains illegal Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory». Sure, this will (if it is ever adopted by Israel's significant trade partners) cause some suffering for the poor illegal settlers who had just moved into their shiny new apartment blocks built atop acres of land that sustained the surrounding Palestinian villages. The mere existence of these settlements cause more suffering than any sanction could ever cause.

Calling for these sanctions against Israel, which again, don't even come from comparable agents, are both less harmful towards the total population of Israel, and occur in a completely different context. I'm not going to pretend I care about the wellbeing of settlers whose houses didn't even exist 10 years ago. If these sanctions ever do occur in a significant enough scale (dubious), and those settlers don't want to find themselves in a food desert because Carrefour closed all their stores in the west bank, they shouldn't have moved into land stolen from a people facing genocide in the first place. We're also wagering hypothetical and non-global suffering against the now more than 100,000 dead Palestinians in Gaza in the past year, not even counting those who died ever since the first Nakba.

Like BDS points out, these types of grassroots and targeted boycotts/sanctions worked in South Africa, and the white South Africans didn't even suffer that much. Wager these short-lived and targeted sanctions against these other half-century long sanctions sustained by the US' strongarm policy that have prevented basically anything from getting into Cuba or the DPRK.

While those two things are both called sanctions, they have radically different objectives, methods, range, timescale, and character. I can't reiterate this enough, the North Korean collective farmer and the Israeli settler in the west bank have nothing in common when it comes to their position. Only one of them is complicit in genocide through their own actions, only one of them has any degree of blame, and only one of their governments is actually doing anything that warrants any kind of international action. And again, the BDS strategy focuses much more on military sanctions. Let's also be practical for a second, and acknowledge that the US is never going to withdraw their support for Israel, and especially will never sanction Israel. Israel is simply never going to face the same kind of sanctions that Venezuela or Cuba are facing, nor with the same severity, nor with the same restrictions on products essential for life.

Things to do instead of BINGING ❗️

I'm gonna give some hard-core tips that I like to do with myself when I feel like giving up.

DISCLAIMER ⚠️

Only do this if you want to BINGE like you have a whole ass cake infront of you and want to eat ALL OF IT with no self control. That's bad even if you're not trying to lose weight, all that sugar and fat in it is very bad for your health OVERALL and you'll be stuck in a cycle of guilt. So if you're HUNGRY ,eat.

~~And I am not gonna give the basic stuff like drink water, listen to music , scroll on tumblr bla bla we know all of this already =)

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

So here's a list of the things I do to avoid binging!

✨️1/ I would clean my room except I would wear something like a skirt, or a shirt that is SO tight on me, so that I can feel fat, and also very overwhelmed making me forget I want to binge and reminds myself of my goals!! Bonus point of your tighs touch each other, cause then if you move around and they rub each other, it will hurt and burn, that's gross right, will remind you of your goal =)

✨️2/ do random body checks, take pictures of yourself WITHOUT posing or fixing your posture something that would help is filming yourself doing something for a long period of time. And THAT is the pov of others. This is HOW THEY SEE YOU, are you satisfied or not? Satisfied enough to binge and ruin your progress? Think twice.

✨️3/I love this one. So much. Makes me forget everytime. Is filming yourself working out, but again workouts in something tight, that will reveal every fat roll of your body. This will just make you disgusted and remind you your goals

and if you workout so hard and still stuff yourself with food. Of course they will be no result so..think twice =) and after that I would also watch videos of other fitness influencer working out. They look so perfect so I can to, if I don't ruin my progress =)

✨️4/ This one is like I think common, but I would watch fat people eating a mukbang. Or body positivity videos, im talking about those who GLORIFY obesity.And just try to visualize yourself. If you binge YOU WILL LOOK LIKE THATTT!!! AND YOUR WORKING HARD FOR THIS NOT TO HAPPEN RIGHT??!?!?!?

✨️5/This is one is similar to the other tips, but I would tighten a belt around my waist and stomach and just do jumping jacks. It hurts and that's the thing. Your stomach will hurt so bad that the appetite will be gone and same for the thoughts of binging...so if you do binge it will only make it worst , and make your body look worse, and your mental health worse and everything.so THINK TWICE =)

🌟I have more ill add them every once in a while when I rember them !!!

❗️❗️❗️As I said. This is only when when I feel like binging, eating with no portion control. If you are hungry and feel like you're about to pass out, please eat mindfully =)

I support recovery, and wellness. Stay safe yall =) ♡
