Uhmmm i dont think including diaspora literature in a tournament of latam literary classics makes a lot of sense. Not getting into the argument about whether latine people living in the us are latine thats not the point i just think "latam lit" should you know. Be made by people in latinoamerica

Atla live action spoilers
Atla's prop team is SO funny because on one side, it feels like they put a lot of attention to Zuko's room and belongings and so on (i really liked the pan down of his desk), hell, they even added a solo eye drawing to one of his journal pages because that's SUCH an artist thing to do. Artists' sketchbooks are FULL of random solo eye drawings.
Tumblr media
But. On The Other Hand... they couldn't bother to hire a native speaker or even just a fluent speaker (tho a native one is always preferrable, especially for projects like these which are supposed to be all about inclusion and diversity) to write or even dictate the written chinese...
Cause it's not just that Zuko has bad handwriting (which could even fit the character tbh!), it's literally the fact that the chinese doesn't make sense/is weirdly phrased and it's a mix of traditional/classic chinese and modern chinese...
Tumblr media
Yes. I'm still stuck here but as a linguistics/languages geek who's learning chinese... this was really dissapointing to mešŸ˜­ (altho kinda funny bc of all the time i spent trying to translate it and thinking it was too hard because "oh it's probably some classic, super formal and pretty way of writing that is too advanced for me"šŸ’€)

You know how evryones talkingabout season 2. About grover in a wedding dress.
I dont feel particularly excited for season 2. I wanna see the Titan's Curse getting adapted. Heck I wanna see the beef between Thalia and Percy. Their fight after loosing Capture the flag from the hunters....percy making the whole creek rise and Thalia zapping him with lightning
I wanna see who they cast as Artemis and Apollo.
Thalia totally crushing on Apollo
"He's hot" "He's the sun god"
oh and Apollo flirting with the rest hunters of Artemis.
I wanna see how much Zoe and Thalia despise each other.
no kidding the classic hoover dam scene.
I want a dam t-shirt.
I want to see Rachel Elizabeth Dare.
I wanna see Nico and Bianca.
I want to see Annabeth holding the sky for Luke bcz she cant bear to see him like that even tho Luke betrayed her and then Artemis taking it from her bcz she cant bear to see a maiden in pain. And Percy taking it from Artemis so she can fight Atlas.
I want to see Thalia fighting Luke. After all they've been together. "Family Luke You promised"
And the last moments of Zoƫ Nightshade . in Artemis's arms
When she becomes stars. I want to hear her say.
"Let the world honor you my huntress live forever in the stars"
"I can see the stars again m'lady"
I want to see Thalia joining the Artemis's hunt. I want to see bessie. The sea cow.
I want to see the young Nico excited about evrything. Playing mythomagic. jumping up and down full of energy.
I want to see Percy promising Nico that he would look after Bianca.
Nico's reaction when he finds out about Biancas death. The last gift of Bianca to Nico the only one he didnt have a miniature of Hades.
And the matching gray streaks in both Percy and Annabeth's hair.

Thinking about why I like Kataang so much
so a lot of my posts/asks lately have been about things I dislike so I decided to balance it out by talking about something I actually do like! ofc I immediately thought of kataang and started thing about why i like them so much compared to other couples in media I watched growing up.
first thing is, I donā€™t actually like romance in visual media. I much prefer it in books but having to actually watch it gives me the ick idk why. also when i first watched atla I was like 5, so the romance really had no appeal to me and I was super focused on katara and the other girls on the show because they were girls! i would completely block out the boys and all the ship scenes for years after that because my attitude to romance never really changed.
right up until I was about 11/12 and became aware of romance from hearing people my age start to talk about crushes, boyfriends/girlfriends, kissing etc. suddenly I had entered this phase in real life where romance was suddenly relevant among my peers and this made me start paying attention when it played out in the shows I was watching like Hannah Montana, Wizards of Waverly Place, etc. this also included ATLA as my dad and I would rewatch it together on DVD throughout the year.
as I watched with my katara blinders, like I always do, for the first time I started to notice the boys in the show, particularly aang, (yes I finally started focusing on the main character after 6 years šŸ˜­) and certain interactions katara had with him that I never noticed before.
*dramatic pause*
and the way I consumed media would never be the same.
jk, but really tho.
fast forward to now, and Iā€™ve recently started watching anime after consuming a bunch of western media my whole life from cartoons and disney shows to contemporary literature and Y/A movies/TV shows. and one thing that stands out to me with kataang compared to most of the romance i see in shonen animes (one of atlaā€™s biggest inspiration as a TV show) is the way katara and aang develop in a way that is realistic, yet too good to be true.
let me elaborate:
starting from the very first episode, katara and aang have that classic meet-cute interaction. the music is playing, their eyes are widening, aangā€™s acting like heā€™s never seen a girl before and katara is impressed by literally every single thing he does. this is pretty much how every ship is set up, anime or otherwise, and kanna basically spells out their imminent connection when she sends katara and sokka off and sokka even explicitly says the word boyfriend seconds before that. obviously, these two characters are gonna get together at some point and itā€™s just a matter of when.
this is where it gets more than that:
the more katara and aang spend time together, the more they start to get on each otherā€™s nerves.
Iā€™m sure everyoneā€™s had a crush at some point, where you see someone for the first time and go ā€œoh theyā€™re so cuteā€ and you feel the butterflies blah blah. you either fantasize about them for a while and move on, or you pursue the crush and start to actively make moves to get to know them better.
and as you get to know them, you notice some things about them that kinda piss you off. the way they pick their nose, the way they bounce their knee, the way they chew. itā€™s always something. it can even affect friendships because thatā€™s life. we are humans, not concepts. no one is perfect, there is nobody on this planet that you will 100% agree with or like about them. it just doesnā€™t work like that. and for some relationships, there is that one irritating thing about them that breaks the camelā€™s back and it doesnā€™t work out. you learn what annoys you and move on to the next relationship. or you have the lucky ones who actually stay together and the relationship continues to blossom as you get to know each other better.
similarly, kataang in the beginning are completely enamored with the other. until theyā€™re not. throughout season 1, we see katara becoming more and more disillusioned with aang going from ā€œaangā€™s so brave. heā€™s the avatar!ā€ to realizing heā€™s just a boy with insecurities and flaws just like her. some of which get on her nerves BAD. similarly, aang goes from trying to impress katara and going along with every single plan she has, to disagreeing with her and even getting annoyed by her as the seasons go on.
despite this, it doesnā€™t stop that thing they have for each other from growing and flourishing. that is the magic part. watching two characters fall in love as they continue to annoy and irritate each other more and more. the more katara and aang butt heads throughout the seasons, the more and more unambiguous their romantic interactions become.
aang bluntly telling katara sheā€™s not funny like he didnā€™t just ask her to dance with him in a candlelit cave in front of dozens of people a few days ago? katara constantly getting annoyed at aangā€™s antics to turn around and ask him for his opinion on the way she looks or kiss him on the cheek? right.
this is what makes them stand out from other fictional couples Iā€™ve seen, where the girl and guyā€™s opinion on the other never changes significantly from that first interaction they have. one person, usually the girl because of course, worships the ground our main character walks on, meanwhile he seems to barely notice her apart from that first scene where she looked pretty and his jaw dropped or something. and even if they do interact a lot, their dynamic hardly evolves from that initial setup. they never get upset with each other or at the least, visibly annoyed. their dynamic is static, stagnant, mostly affected by major events in the plot rather than personal characteristics and minor misgivings the characters may have.
thereā€™s no juice. itā€™s stale. and for me, very unrealistic.
I was watching this video about writing couples in media and one comment stood out to me in particular:
What you said about charm is so true. Entertaining chemistry to watch ā‰  chemistry that pairs people together. A lot of sitcoms try to pair opposites romantically or as best friends, because opposites are good for comedy and conflict, but I find myself not understanding why theyā€™re so into each other.
instantly i was reminded of the way people call kataang vanilla/boring, in favor of pairings that are far less similar. and while katara and aang do fight a lot, fundamentally they are very similar which is why they are so believable and realistic. I love watching them slowly become disillusioned with the idealized version of each other they had in the first episode to seeing all the ways they manage to piss each other off, and still being drawn by that initial mutual attraction.
katara learns the hard way that aang isnā€™t the infallible savior from her grandmaā€™s stories, but she never stops believing in him. aang comes to discover kataraā€™s flaws and conflicting opinions, but he still encourages her belief in hope, affirms her as a waterbender/healer and yes still calls her beautiful every chance he gets.
and what I love about this, is, it gives them reasons to fall in love that go beyond the superficial reasons that drew them towards each other in the first place.
they donā€™t fall in love with each other in spite of those little minor flaws, but because of them.
katara doesnā€™t love aang because heā€™s the avatar. she loves him because he is the goofy fun boy that allowed her to be a kid while taking up this heavy responsibility. aang doesnā€™t love katara because sheā€™s beautiful. he falls in love witnessing those moments of her being determined, speak up for herself and others, and even going to great lengths to inspire hope in everyone she meets.

I recently found yours Hels to Pay AU and I love it so much that I'm going to rant about things that I find really neat in no particular order
Helsmits names:
Dr. Clear - MumboJumbo. It took me a while to get it but wow it makes sense seeing as the phrase "mumbo-jumbo" means nonsense and clear is the opposite of that. Also funny considering the coherentness of each one
BadTimesWithScar - GoodTimesWithScar. Classic
AnimosityGaming/Timmy - SolidarityGaming/Jimmy. Wonderful. Animosity and Solidarity are opposites as well so that's cool
bXMiner - XbCrafted. It's the two halves of MineCraft. Also reverses the letters of his name
Bravo - Tango. Derived off the phonetic alphabet I would assume
Dbubs - Bdubs. Reverses the letters of his name
Patho(s? I'm not sure) Lair - Etho's Lab. Ethos and Pathos are Greek words meaning character and emotions respectively. Lair and Lab are similar to each other. And they have similar nickames taken from misreading their names (Etho Slab and Patho Stair). Genuinely my favourite name of yours.
You have other helsmits but I canā€™t think of more words for them so moving on
Dr. Clear is Alister's spy. He told Bravo about Tango indirectly just before they opened the portal, and also managed to get Atlas to slap him in front of Bravo. He's also incoherent enough (faking?) that Atlas wouldn't consider it
Dbubs pathologic lying? How sometimes he doesn't even realise it? How when he did and said something he didn't mean (I hate your stupid face) he felt bad?
Pathos feeling at home in the crimson jungle. Feeling absolutely horrible for ignoring Dbubs whispers whenever he leaves.
Pathbubs is my new favourite ship but god they're about as healthy as that Panera Lemonade
I'm not saying Tango's theory about confusing the universe is wrong, but where was Tango's Portal meant to go if that was the case? It was an actual Universe Portal, so it's not like someone figured out how to make one and then left it there. I think the Universe made the id display to Bravo as Hermitcraft so he would enter it, because Hels just sounds like a bad place. In my head this means the Universe looked at Tango and Bravo and said, "my bad, you need to switch places"
Now that Tango and Jimmy are in Hels, once the Portal is broken, they will be unable to escape back to Double Life by themselves, as their coordinates will still send them to Hels. They will need to meet up with someone else's doppelganger to get back to Double Life.
Thank you for writing an amazing AU
thank you, iā€™m glad u like my hels names! itā€™s something i always spend a lot of time thinking abt, deciding where i wanna pull the name from, whether itā€™s an opposite thing, helsification, name scramble, or some other significance. clearā€™s full name is actually clear cut, which is even more of a contrast to mumbo jumbo, and it is technically pathoslair but he goes by patho the same way ethoslab goes by etho, dropping the ā€˜sā€™.
ah, pathbubsā€¦ i love them smā€¦ man i really need to write more of them sometime šŸ˜‚ absolutely unhealthy but DAMN they compel meā€¦
as for your questions about the universe portalsā€¦ iā€™ll just say that no player has figured out the real explanation for the swap yet. theyā€™re working off what they know and certain assumptions theyā€™ve made; in tangoā€™s case, the assumption that heā€™s an evil creature who would never have purposefully been brought to hermitcraft. in bravoā€™s case, the assumption that tangoā€™s mere existence resulted in a massive mistake (even tho plenty of other players have joined hermitcraft without being swapped with their hels counterpartsā€¦). theyā€™re silly gooses <3
anyway thanks so much for sharing ur thoughts, i LOVE to hear what yā€™all are thinking and theorizing about with regards to the fic. itā€™s like enrichment for me.

Heyy, can I ask for match up and sorting at the same request? I think it would be super annoying for you to read me talk about myself twice, sošŸ™ˆ so, firat about the hcs sortings. The ones I'm gonna choose is Avatar The Last Airbender = sorting what bender youā€™d be and The Last of Us 1 + 2 = sorting which (human) group youā€™d be part of.
For the match ups: The last of us (Part 1 and 2) and MCU. I don't really care if it's female or male, I don't have preference.
So, for my description:
I'm a teenager and my pronouns are she/her. I'm a hufflepuff and my zodiac sign is aquarius. I love art in any way possible, but drawing is basically my roman empire. I'm always with a sketchbook and sometimes I look at random places and people and I try to imagine how would I draw them. I usually draw and paint listening to classical music and orchestras (I even used to play Erick Satie pieces on a kalimba!!!), but I also love Rock and Metalcore. I'm that type of person who has a headphone on her head 24/7. I'm very introvert and usually have difficulty communicating with other people, simply because I'm bad at continue conversations. My mom says it's because I spend so much time at the little world in my head that I forget how to get out of it, and as much as she doesn't mean in a harm way, I know this can bother people around me (I mean, somebody called me autistic in a perjorative way once. I'm don't even have autism, it's just my personality). Even tho I'm introvert, I can be very chatty around people I like and trust. I also don't like fighting, I hate fighting, and because of traumatic experiences involving bullying and problems at home, I start feeling anxious when I hear arguments. So I'm usually a very chill person and try to keep things smooth till I can, but I can also get exaggeratedly agressive when people step on thin ice with me, and that caused me problems before. I also love animals (at this point, I don't even have to explain that I prefer them to people, right?), I would totally be a vet if I wasn't so afraid of seeing injuries, and I could also study astronomy if I didn't hated physics/math. I'm not very patient, but I also change my mind easily, so I'm the type of person who tries something new and says "I won't ever do this again" and it goes wrong, but is trying again next day. I looove eating, and even tho I have some pet peeves with food, food bribery can work a lot with me lol. My favorite types of films are drama and science fiction (cry for a good story and think hard are my two favorite things). I'm a very perceptive person and I am very vulnerable to see through people, I know there's something wrong in the air usually before everyone else, and can see how people may be feeling even if they don't tell me right away, that's what makes me a good friend to the few people I'm friends with, because my intuition is good. I'm also very criative, and even though my imagination can get a little morbid and sad, it also gives me good ideas and experiences. On the other hand, one of my flaws is not doing things I'm supposed to do like fufill tasks, and I get over disappointed when things don't go exactly the way I plan. I'm also not that good at talking about my feelings, but I like hearing others. I don't like hot weathers and my favorite season is fall. My favorite holiday is christmas, and I usually spend the whole year deciding what to wear for halloween. I don't really get happy about my birthday, but I like the cheap excuse to eat cake.

it's interesting how zvtara shippers will be like "aang was a bad dad and a terrible partner according to tlok and katara deserved better than just being a housewife. Fuck bryke"
but then when a kataang shipper is like "hey i didnt really like how aang was written as a father (even tho i dont think he should be perfect) and katara should've been given more spotlight in post-canon content i feel like there's a huge disconnect between atla and tlok" those exact same zvtara shippers are being like "kataangers are so delusional aang was TWELVE in atla and raised by monks so yall just hate it when ur characters dont grow up to be perfect people. Cope"
same energy as them getting mad that katara will be a main character in the upcoming movie. like you're just saying the quiet part out loud
Yup. It's the classic "change the goal-post when your first half-assed argument failed"
What, canon Kataang is nothing like the abusive fanfic version of them we claim is totally true? Let's latch onto the LOK discourse to pretend we were right all along!
What, plenty of people feel ALL the characters were done dirty in LOK? Well, Kataang fans are just in denial that this is how it was always gonna go for them. Katara would NEVER be more than just Aang's love interest if Kataang happened, they should have supported Zutara instead!
What, the new material has her be a main-character instead of side-lining her like we constantly claimed was inevitable if Kataang was endgame? That's not the fair! Bryke is covering their tracks!
Just pathetic nonsense after pathetic nonsense.

The problem with a lot of newer mecha fans is that they have no appreciation for the classics that more or less set the groundwork for the whole genre and itā€™s that lack of respect and homage is why I donā€™t care for Lancerā€™s world building or a lot of its mech design even tho the rules are really good for combat.
then again my favorite is the Atlas because it lets me do mgr shit. hmmmmmm

i love MUSIC so jeres me assigning some songs from my playlist to the main lok characters and main atla characters ā€˜cause iā€™m bored and scrolling on tiktok is making me go stupid with No explanation maybe idk. i am assigning songs purely out of my gut instinct and the twitch in my fingers
Also highlighting songs in blue because i am a messy person and have like BLOBS of text so and the artist name in [__] square brackets
(also lets ignore tje fact that most of the songs are from adrianne lenker, or jeff buckley, or alex g, or mitskiā€¦ !!! i THINK i might have favoritesā€¦ umm idk thoā€¦)
ā€”
ATLA
aang: the frost [mitski] , message [alex g] , also things to do [alex g] . not much to be said here im bad at analyzing poor little avatar buddy aang im so sorry my friend!!!
katara: a small dash of when memories snow [mitski] and a drop of buffalo replaced [mitski] and abbey [mitski]
sokka: also abbey [mitski] + DEF when memories snow [mitski] . lover you shouldā€™ve come over [jeff buckley] and forget her [jeff buckley] maybe? weird fishes / arpeggi [radiohead] too
toph: half return [adrianne lenker] . class of 2013 [mitski] audiotree version sorry! a small drop of crack baby [mitski] thats maybe a stretch though! and rules [alex g] probs a stretch too
zuko: also half return [adrianne lenker], dragon eyes [adrianne lenker] as well. advice [alex g] and some of eternal life [jeff buckley] either version (road or classic) but it doesnā€™t really matter. and candy [alex g]
might do azula, suki, plus some other characters some other time when iā€™m not lazy to death šŸ˜ž
ā€”
LOK
korra: eternal life [jeff buckley], maybe i love me after you [mitski], abbey [mitski] brand new city [mitski], i dont like my mind [mitski], iā€™m your man [mitski], 16 mirrors [alex g]
mako: forget her [jeff buckley], somewhat the deal [mitski], things to do [alex g], when memories snow [mitski], pretend [alex g] , a bit of a stretch but maybe thereā€™s nothing left for you [mitski]
asami: once more to see you [mitski] goodluck, babe! [chappell roan], buffalo replaced [mitski], anything [adrianne lenker], a drop of not a lot, just forever [adrianne lenker]
bolin: crack baby [mitski], i donā€™t smoke [mitski] (classic or audiotree version it doesnt really matta), last goodbye [jeff buckley], weird fishes / arpeggi [radiohead], break [alex g], message [alex g], i want you [mitski], a little bit of abbey [mitski] (what is it with so many characters being compatible with this song even in a small way??!), liquid smooth [mitski], and brand new city [mitski]
idk who else to do for lok idk
ā€”
these are so ooc probably hellp? just wanted to assign random songs to them and i have like. a total of like about fivr artist in my playlist with 2+ songs made by themā€¦ alex g mitski jeff buckley radiohead fiona apple... what the sigma!!! but idrc i ddi this for fun and honestly this was much better than scrolling on tiktok for hours on end and slso i got to listen to cool songs! and also i thought about cheracters a lot and to be more specific my favorite characters a lot and like. i looove my favorite characters!!! guess which ones they are! dont its sokka and bolin idk if its obvious aha! šŸ˜ž ok im tyoing a lot posting this and goigntnos eleep (lie im gonan read ao3 and write fics ill never post and them scroll on tumblr for lok ant atla content)

love how i was on hiatus both the times it was popular gfbgf tbh i usually steer clear of the current litblr/booktok books since whatever books i've seen being recommended just didn't do it for me (tho like the only litblr folks who's opinions i factor in are you & a couple of moots like @macbcth & @filippa-kosta tho i haven't been interacting with anyone here except for you) i want to get back into reading but haven't been able to and that bums me out quite a bit;///
yeah no i get it i donā€™t immediately read every popular book either, but the atlas six kind of intrigue me bc the premise sounded like the type of stories i usually enjoy. i donā€™t think you missed much tho, i donā€™t think this book is a must read. i would particularly recommend it as such at least. iā€™m very honoured to hear that you care about my opinion!! i hope you know that i value yours as well!!! deathless?!?!!? KILLER RECOMMENDATION!!! finished it a couple days ago AND OMG THAT WRITING?!?? the dynamic were also so interesting and the entire angle of mixing fairytales, folk tales, and elements from classic literature was so fascinating and truly such a delight!! so yeah thank you so so so so much for the rec <333 if you want to talk about some reads youā€™d be in the mood for or need some recs my dms and asks are always open. i am also always up for buddy reads if you need that extra motivation.

Any incest ship from any fandom
Please DNI if
You are racist, homophobic, xenophobic, transphobic, promote animal cruelty and genocide, a pedophile, a rapist, a TERF, an Andrew Tate fan, a bully or overall a shitty person
You are under 18. While I do not post overly sexual stuff, I occasionally use colorful language, and advise you to not interact with me if you canā€™t handle it. If you still choose to visit my profile, it might be at your own risk.
You canā€™t ignore the difference in taste regarding characters or ships. If you like Tony or Zutara, that I do not like, or any other thing I listed above you are still welcome here, just know that I am not responsible of your contempt if you choose to stick around and end up stumbling upon a negative rant about your favs. If you are conscious to lack the needed restraint, please feel free to block me. Iā€™d rather not have hostility under my posts.
You support genocide. I already said this, but I feel like repeating it is important.
You donā€™t like Multi fandom blogs
You are a troll of any kind
You donā€™t like rants/long posts, I tend to write a lot of those
A little warning about my boundaries
Although I try to be polite with everyone I interact with, I do not take any form of disrespect towards my posts, my time or my analysis lightly.
I will not be nice in any way if you are hostile or rude towards me unprovoked, If I donā€™t like your attitude, I will block you.
I am very open in regards of my takes. Im not afraid of sharing them or discuss them when itā€™s appropriate. But if you are arrogant in your analysis or rant, I will block you. Your argument isnā€™t with me just because I posted someone elseā€™s take. Itā€™s not that deep either.
I will NOT be kind or polite when the precise general public I am addressing is fundamentally an asshole with no morals, and the reason to address them is to criticize them. If you are a group of ignorant fat shamers (example), I will treat you with the same courtesy you gave to those you fiercely insult, because you do not deserve my respect. I AM petty and I believe in treating people how they deserve to be treated. If you donā€™t like my take on this, I kindly ask you to get out of my blog and block me.
If you donā€™t like what I say or how I say it, feel free to block me. If whatever bothers you is not directed to you, then feel free to ignore or block me. I am not willing to put up with your agendas and tantrums because you donā€™t like a choice of words Iā€™ve used.
If these terms arenā€™t ok with you then Iā€™m sorry to see you go, if not, stick around on this blog of crazy girlies <3
