Just another day wishing I didn't live with my parents but having to because I can barely take care of myself

The parallel between Sokka and Tenzin as their fathers' sons.

Sokka, left at 13 as his father and all the other men head off to war. Hakoda tells him "being a man is knowing where he's needed the most" and he needs to protect his sister, his home.

Tenzin is the second airbender. He is also half water tribe, he's a man. When Aang dies, he will be the last airbender. He understands what he needs to do.

Untold amount of pressure and responsibility have been thrust upon them by their fathers. Though, I believe it is not all intentional, but the unfortunate circumstance of being the fathers of sons who take responsibility incredibly seriously.

In Sokka's case, "protect your sister" is a vague instruction. It was meant to give him purpose, to help him feel okay about being left behind, He is too young for war, his father does not want to bring his child to slaughter. But Sokka will die with purpose. He will train the children of his tribe so they will be protected, he will face a fire nation ship until his last breath. He cannot go to war, but Hakoda did not see that war was all around them. In trying to give Sokka purpose, Hakoda put their world on his shoulders.

We do not get to see Aang be a father (in the TV shows), but we know he had hopes for the future. All his children were air nomads, and the air acolytes brought his culture back, but Tenzin could bend. This part of their culture is one ONLY they share. I do not think Aang would hide this, he is joyous that he gets to share his culture. When he feels respected, he always is, he taught the air acolytes after all. Off handedly, he could say, "I'm hopeful for a future where there are lots more air benders," and that, which feels mostly innocuous to him, is the nail in the coffin of Tenzin's fate. He is Avatar Aang's son, and the future of the air benders. It would not matter that Aang meant a future in generations. Tenzin sees the responsibility and it's his. He is his father's only air bending child, he knows what he needs to do.

Being a parent is not understanding the way the things you say harm your children. Even those things that feel innocuous in the moment can be life altering. Especially the more the child respects the parent. Purpose and Hope for those with a broader perspective, can be death sentences to a life that could have been when expressed to those who idolize the former.

I may be a hater, but you're pushing forty and writing about a minor

make it make sense 🤨

[luckyshouse]

i draw a lot of nsfw but im scared to post it because then it'll be obvious which things i fetishize and which ones i lie about fetishizing for clout but im more scared of the fact that if people know what im into theyll be able to look at my writing and be like (raises eyebrows. smirks knowingly) and that is by far my 100% least favorite reaction to any kind of sexuality i show ever

humans were not made to experience crushes. i hope we all die

Tagged by @saladruiner and then @dungeons-and-dragon-age to make some OCs in this Picrew. Thanks!!

Featuring Gillian Hawke, Celeste Trevelyan (post-DAI), Warden Antonia, and Arden Trevelyan.

Tagging (with absolutely zero pressure) @carnalapples @theaceofdragons @contreparry @miladydewintcr and anyone else who might want to play dress-up with their OCs!

Self-Indulgent OC Trivia under the cut

Gill would love Picrews, ok? She doted on her dolls when she was little. As a teenager, she claimed she'd given them all away, but she really kept them hidden beneath her bed, and some nights she would take them out and play with them again. Then one day Carver found them and cut off all their hair. Gill never forgave him.

She also fought the Arishok one-on-one in her stocking feet. This is because she had to shuck off her high heeled boots right before the duel (Gill has never loved a practical shoe.)

Celeste is a picky eater. Cheese sandwiches and pumpkin pie (just the custard not the crust!!) are her main food groups.

During her time as the Herald, Cece had a bit of a crush on Krem. She's still a little embarrassed about it 10 years later.

Toni had not one, but two Mabari tattoos. (And yeah, she could make them both bark.)

Toni was also a pretty good seamstress. She had a pair of patchwork pants that she originally made when she was twelve and just kept mending and altering over the years. Arden was convinced they were held together by magic.

Because of Cece's taste for cheese sandwiches, Arden has learned to fry up a good one (even though he doesn't eat dairy himself.) They may have become a bit of a cult classic among the Inner Circle.

On a sentimental (and possibly drunken) whim, I think Dorian gave Arden a pair of turquoise earrings. He was appalled when Arden actually wore them and he couldn't convince him to switch to emeralds.

I also made Loran and Mags because I have no self control but I'm hiding them down here

every time I see a post from an adult woman about "girlhood ♡" that's just a set of loose aesthetic signifiers designed to provoke a sense of nostalgia in a very specific group of other adult women I puke in my mouth a little
