Lord give me the strength to stop clicking on the notes of discourse posts

Sometimes I wonder if the people around me understand just how much energy I spend just trying not to aggravate the whole “chronic rib pain” issue.

Like. It’s stressful.

One of my least favorite things about costochondritis is the “tenderness” thing. Like, my mom uses a mobility cart, right? So we have a carrier basket thing for it and we secure it with bungee cords. We have six. When I detangle them, i sling them over my shoulder, which isn’t usually an issue, but there was a time I slung one over my shoulder like usual and the hook hit against my ribs, but in the back.

It wasn’t instant. I had enough time to mentally flash through “whoops” and “fuck” and then “maybe it’s fine” before the pain started. It was absolutely disproportionate to the impact.

Even grocery shopping can be a problem. We just left walmart. The cart had a strong pull to the right even when empty, but it was the only one I could get. Steering was tricky, and when I had to back up if I wasn’t careful it would almost slam into me, which would be deal-with-able if not for the Touch/Pressure-Activated Flames. Plus, the pull put stress on the flare I’m having which is like playing russian roulette because I’m running about a 1.5% chance of being phantom-stabbed from normal body movements like walking, breathing, and turning my fucking head.

I’m just saying. Yes I am neglecting my friendships to varying degrees but to be fair my chronic pain is at least a part-time job.

This is a PSA to all agents. Please, and I cannot stress this enough, PLEASE stop resorting to the complete annihilation of the station you are assigned to. We have an entire unit dedicated to station destruction. Do something else, steal something, kidnap an individual of high value. Be more unpredictable!

Thank you

I guess I shouldn't be surprised given how much they love to steal from us that after a year and a half of goyim calling Israelis Nazis, calling Jews "zionazis", calling Netanyahu Hitler, calling the deaths of Gazans the Holocaust, calling Kamala Harris "Holocaust Harris", and calling Israeli policies "lebensraum" they would make the case that Nazis don't primarily target Jews and then acting like we're being selfish when we say they do. As if we're hogging the spotlight, stealing focus away from the people Nazis actually hate, donning the vestiges of oppression for our own nefarious benefit

We're slowly being edged out of the conversation, and it'll keep going until goyim are the only authority capable of recognizing antisemitism (if we're not already there; see: "antisemitism comma weaponization of). It's going to keep going until Jews are made into the oppressors they've always wanted us to be, until we no longer have a voice in their spaces, at which point they will claim our absence itself proves our status

Sokka isn't against it, but he's sick of putting up with them, I mean, it's only fun when he's one of the ones involved, not when it's their silly little brothers.

once again here to say that as much as bryke resented zutara, it is frankly Weird (though no less delightful for me) that the finale, which again!!! is a time you want to really emphasize closure to relationships that are going to resonate with the audience, story-wise, that So Much time is dedicated specifically to the bond between zuko and katara.

[chartzan]

WIP time! (it's deffo zukka now ♥ not just in my head) but hey I actually continued the piece from yesterday, I never do that!

I got this thing where I say "I'm gonna give them a simple fun background" and then I somehow end up drawing a forest and where did the simple go.

then I thought Imma lightly test colors and somehow ended up with this madness >

I kinda like it, I might actually finish it

Zutara headcanon #35594

When he realized that Katara didn't have any sort of image of her mother (as the Water Tribe isn't really known for its paintings), Zuko hired the most talented portrait painter in the Fire Nation and then consulted with Hakoda and Gran-Gran for as many details as possible in order to commission a life-size painting of Kya to give to Katara.

The painting was so beautiful and so true to life that Katara almost thought her mother was about to step out of the canvas. It became one of her most cherished possessions.

Many decades later, after Katara passed away, the painting was considered a masterpiece and placed in the Southern Water Tribe cultural heritage center and museum. It is the most beloved work in the gallery and remains a symbol for many Water Tribe and Fire Nation people of love, courage, and kindness.

Annoyed aromantic rant, vent, ramble, whatever you want to call it

I'm not going to put this in any tags because I am very aware that this is my own experience and not a common experience, but like, I don't understand when other aromantic people are so sad about not being in committed relationships or their friendships not being seen as "as important" as romantic relationships.

Like, I don't know, I'm just very aware of the cultural importance of romance and marriage and stuff like that, and yeah I guess it kind of sucks that a lot of things like tax benefits and child custody and next of kin are kept behind these walls of romantic relationships and marriages and stuff. Like yeah that does suck. But when people complain that they will never matter to someone as much as that person's partner, I just feel like saying "well what did you expect?" For a lot of people, their romantic partner is the closest person to them, their best friend and confidant and the person who knows them best, so of course that's the most important person in their life. For a lot of people a romantic tie is the closest relationship they can form. I'm not saying that's everyone, even romantic inclined people have more important relationships to them, but I don't understand being upset about someone else having a bond that they consider the Most Important in their life.

It just feels like at a certain point you have to find people who don't put romantic ties above platonic and familial ones. People interested in romance who don't put romance on top definitely do exist, you just have to find them. I don’t know how common they are because of the importance romance plays in a lot of people's lives, but I know those people exist, I've spoken to and befriended people like that. They exist, you just have to find them.

When people go all "I'll never be the most important person in someone's life" "I'll always be left behind, abandoned by friends for their romantic relationships" it feels very "woe is me." Like sorry man maybe you should just be friends with people who view romance and friendships in a way you do too.

And while I'm on the topic, I do not understand wanting to be the most important person in someone's life. All this talk about queer platonic partnerships, and being exclusive within them, or having qpps you live with, its just like....I don't want any commitment that intense. It feels like a lot of people have just replaced a romantic relationship with that and called it a different name while changing nothing. I dont want a committed relationship, I don't want to live with someone, I don't want to be exclusive, I don't want to marry someone, that's like the whole point of me being aromantic. Thats literally just being in a relationship, doesn't matter if you change the name, its the same thing to me. "Marry your friend for the tax benefits!" I would rather eat drywall.

(A thousand disclaimers that this is my experience and my feelings and my preferences and you can use whatever label or relationship label you want and I'm not the label police you can do whatever the hell you want, I do not care. This is just my two cents on my feelings.)

(zuko and azula are home alone. the lightbulb in the living room has just gone out.)

zuko: where's the stepladder?

azula: do you even know how to change a lightbulb, zuzu?

zuko: i've seen the servants do it hundreds of times. it's not that hard.

(zuko discovers they're all out of lightbulbs. this is fine. there's a store across the street and mom left them some money. he can just go buy some new ones.)

azula: i have a better idea.

(azula fires a small spark of lightning at the lightbulb. this was not a better idea. the lightbulb bursts and knocks all of the power out... for the entire building.)

zuko: ...wow. you're right. that was a better idea.

azula: it's not my fault the pathetic excuse of an electrical system this apartment has can't handle my greatness.

zuko: ...i'm calling mom

azula: DON'T YOU DARE!

[pechuyu]

Azula and Sokka would get along so well if they werent enemies,

They would play pai sho and everyone would avoid them because they got so intense itd be insufferable just light and l tier mind battle the whole time. Aang would worry they were about to kill eachother but after the game they would shake hands and just do the same thing next week

[the-genius-az]

There are times when I read Azula fics where she tells of her suffering, but the characters always tell her that she doesn't feel sorry for herself, but... why shouldn't she? Her family is shit to her, she was trained from a young age, forced to be perfect, she went to war at fourteen (Or less), she was betrayed and left by everyone she loved, she had a mental breakdown, her own brother he took everything from her and put her in an asylum.

And there are even more things! So why? Why shouldn't he complain and kick? all the characters have done it, however Azula hasn't, they all cry and "feel sorry for themselves", but Azula isn't allowed to do it? that's not fair.

He's less than thrilled.
