Tbh i like zutara but i think it s a writing problem more than a pairing issue.
I honestly don't even care whether she ended up with any of the guys in canon or not. The arc itself was 🤢🤮, and it's not her being wife of X that would have changed anything. It's the writers fucking up a feminine coded character because in their mind "nice maternal responsible girl becomes house waifu and career/achievements/relevance in society is ONLY linked to her marital/parental status now, she's standing on the sidelines supporting her "more important" husband 🤢." (This shit could have happened even with zutara if one does not know what they are writing !!)
Compare and contrast what they did with Toph who is more of a tomboy (she didn't get a great conclusion either but her badassery was still respected 70 years later).
In a similar vein, girls who fit neither role (not particularly caring/maternal nor specifically tomboyish/memorably powerful in a masculine~ish manner were completely left out : Suki, Ty Lee, Azula...) [PS: They are fucking powerful, but aside from maybe Azula and Kyosho, yeah nobody's overhyping them/summarizing them as a basically extremely OP powerhouse].
Nothing about Ka/taang precludes Katara being Chief of the SWT…
which is why it pisses me off even more that Katara didn’t get to have a role of any political importance whatsoever. It wouldn’t change anything about LOK’s storyline, and it would be fully in line with her character.
There’s a common anti-Zutara argument that Katara wouldn’t want to be Fire Lady, because she would want to rebuild and lead her own culture. I am sympathetic to that. Based on her canon characteristics, she might want to be a United Republic Councilwoman, Chief of the SWT, or just generally the Waterbending Master / Matriarch of the her tribe, which would be easier (though not impossible) if she weren’t married to the sovereign of another nation — I get that.
but the thing is…she didn’t get to do any of that, even though “wife of the Avatar” doesn’t contradict those roles. All the things that would be difficult for her to do if she were married to Zuko, she still didn’t get to do as Aang’s wife. She didn’t get to have a career the way her husband, or her brother, or her friends did.
so it’s extra hypocritical when Ka/taang shippers are like “but being Fire Lady would disempower Katara!” when Ka/taang canonically disempowered her! And KA fans are fine with that: they bend over backwards to justify why Katara doesn’t have a statue, or why she wasn’t there to protect Korra from the Red Lotus, or why she wasn’t at Yakone’s bloodbending trial. Yeah she got to live in the SWT — eventually, I assume, because in the comics she just follows Aang around — but what else did she get to do? Fucking nothing, apparently. Because to some people, the greatest honour for a woman is to be the hero’s wife.
#Kataang fans who don’t defend Katara’s stupid post-ATLA arc are fine#Katara deserved better#anti bryke#Chief Katara#Fire Lady Katara#zutara#kataang#not anti either even though i prefer a little bit zutara#IMO this is a writing problem#i will say it unashamedly#people don't like mai but she got even worse a treatment as she doesnt even appear and she is unmentioned as well#she is a minor character so only her stans will care and maybe fans who are kinda open minded like me ~she aint my fave~#but she is entertaining and interesting#and same goes for all other girls#which drives us to the conclusion that while bryke tried and broke the mold in the first series#they only wrote these girls that way because they were young teens helping the hero#they don't know how to write heroic/accomplished adult women without defining them by their male relationships#notice how the only woman who got some acknowledgement had 2 failed relationships and was tomboy (i love toph btw)#it s basically the stereotype of married mom =/= badass bcz she busy childrearing and cooking dinner#kinda the reason why IRL i am still single because im not sure where i want to take my career and i might even switch#but i dont think that i will find a husband who will be supportive while i am struggling to find my footing to realize my dream 🤡#so i kinda decided to put this shit on the backburner because i didnt date before anyway lol#so yeah bryke operated with the assumption that the husband would “rule over” katara and that she would allocate her full time to the kids#i don't dunk on this as a choice to be a sahm IRL#but fucking katara wanted to learn to fight instead of healing and she also deserves at least recognition for her part in ending the war#not being a footnote in the page of the gaang's achievements#btw im sure this view is confirmed by the lack of competent adult female benders and older women aside from hama

many people are afraid to be real lovers. dan and phil are not
#trying to decide whether I should elaborate or not#yes they’re friends soulmates turtles ranch everlasting pieces of furniture#but they are also lovers#they love each other#and that is real and it is beautiful how they’ve come to accept that they can unashamedly and openly love each other#it’s like when people say we don’t think of their content as couples content#bc they call themselves a couple of besties for the beautiful thing called the bit#but. they are a couple fr#if you asked me years ago I would think it’s so cringe to spend all your time with one person and be attached at the hip with them#but love can be so beautiful. i desire love and companionship#there’s nothing wrong with that and dnp have shown me how safe and comfortable and loving a relationship can be#not to be parasocial but sometimes I spiral thinking about the fact that I’m a normal person and will never be one half of a duo#living out their fun rich silly happy dream lives together after 15 years together#but like I’m a normal person. that will never happen#and that’s okay because love exists in other forms#this world is full of beautiful love stories#theirs just happens to be one that has been at the forefront of my mind for a decade#sorry for being weird!#yapping in the tags#dnp#dan and phil#phan#my thots

that's the fun shit about fanart and fandom as a whole you can do ANYTHING and don't let someone ruin your fun cause you're 'doing it wrong' cause there ain't no wrong or right way to have fun
and if you don't like someone's interpretation of a character? you feel like they're doing it wrong? first of all never tell them that, block them if you're that annoyed by it honestly then pick up your damn pencil/tablet pen/apple pencil/whatever and draw it your fucking self
#good morning I'm here to rant lmaoooo#I rarely go into tags these days cause of how broken they are but seeing that irked me ngl#I'm just so over people saying shit like that of 'oh fan art is good but ONLY if done THIS WAY' nahhh son it's 2024#we're long since passed that nonsense#I'm gonna be unashamedly having fun and I'm gonna let other's do the same#do whatever you want it's a fictional monster man#thank you for coming to my ted talk#king candy cybug#this has been a personal post

Little details I noticed in the PJO TV show (episodes 5 & 6)
Hermes' keys have a little cadeuceus on the keychain. I wonder if it transforms into the full sized thing?
Sally probably read Percy the graphic novel version of the Odyssey, because graphic novels are much easier for dyslexic children to read!
At some point in his life, Percy has been to an orthodontist's office. So, either, sally has worked in an orthodontist's office at some point, or Percy has had braces. The former is much more likely, but the latter is WAY funnier. Does poor Percy have a palate expander in while the quest is going on????
The statue holding Ares' shield looks like a statue of Aphrodite (commonly depicted standing on/inside a giant shell, since she was born from seafoam).
Percy was told his dad would meet him in Santa Monica… but just like at the arch, it's not his dad meeting him. It's just an ocean spirit, one of Poseidon's representatives. Another disappointment from an absent father.
Speaking of that underwater scene in Santa Monica… Percy insists on continuing the quest, even though it's past the deadline. He does this specifically because he wants to find the master bolt. He DOES NOT do this to save his mom (and is even shocked when Poseidon gives him four pearls, so he can rescue his mom). Now that's what I call character development.
If Waterland is a water park, why does it have a ferris wheel? If it's not a water park, why is it called Waterland?
When the trio first meets Ares, Annabeth is actually the one who's hesitant to listen to him, and Percy is the one who eagerly agrees to his request. This is a really good way of showing how, after the incidents at the Arch, Percy has gained trust in the gods, while Annabeth is now much more wary of them.
I don't think I've ever been to (or even heard of) a diner that just PILES four cheeseburgers on top of each other rather than putting them all on their own separate plates.
Hermes is the god of thieves, who "exists beyond space and time." Annabeth pickpocketed him. I think this means that either Hermes let her pickpocket him, or that hat of invisibility is MUCH more powerful than we might think.
#percy jackson#pjo#percy jackson tv series#pjotv spoilers#annabeth chase#grover underwood#hermes pjo#poseidon pjo#sally jackson#tiny details in pjotv#also i know this is technically episode 7#but percy saying “hold fast mom” in the 1x7 trailer had me CRYING#i know everyone is obsessed w percabeth#but i am unashamedly obsessed with every single parent/child relationship in this show#what fantastically fucked up family dynamics#i love it so much#oh also fun fact:#i watched episode 5 while on a flight from NYC to LA#felt very appropriate

if Yara had a pjo au, who would her godly parent be?
Athena, I think! Yara is very intelligent and places a lot of value on knowledge and wisdom, plus she's a skilled fighter with a strong sense of personal honour as a swordswoman. And has some of the more negative traits, too, like being quite stubborn and headstrong and always needing to be right about stuff lol
#oc: bravada yara#my ocs#asked and answered#just remembering that part in i think book 2 of the og series where annabeth says her fatal flaw is hubris#like she thinks the world would be a better place if she ran it#and i think yara can relate to that lol#she doesn't care about ever being a captain or anything but she likes efficiency and getting things done her way#ace will unashamedly admit that yara is the brains behind 2nd divison a lot of the time lmao#also thinking about that one episode of the office where oscar is wrong about something and michael is right#i can imagine a scene like that with yara lol#the only thing she hates more than being wrong is being wrong in front of other people#idk where i was going with this but yara definitely has daughter of athena vibes

you know i had a fun little vp idea i wanted to do for the cyberpunk anniversary but i haven't had the energy to even touch it recently so i'll just settle with saying that this game impacted me in ways i never thought it would when i first picked it up 3 years ago. i knew i would enjoy it, i had been looking forward to it for a long time, and despite a ~controversial~ launch, i had a fucking blast from day 1 (on ps4 no less). regardless of bugs and memes and public dunking, the story grabbed me like nothing else could at the time, and it reignited so much of my passion and motivation for art that i had lost in the clutches of mental illness and i'll always be grateful for that. it introduced me to so many wonderful people (some whom i carry very close to my heart), and maybe most personally surprising, it gave me an outlet to understand parts of myself that i had been too afraid to acknowledge for a long time, the courage to accept and embrace myself as non-binary, and allow myself to just BE without trying to convince myself i'm crazy. that's not what i expected from the get-go but it's been a really fun journey to be on ngl
#yeah this fandom been a little rocky in places but i would be lying if i said this community here wasn't special to me#so much love and passion and creativity to be around and be inspired by#so many people who have been impacted by this silly little heartwrenching game#devs who have poured their heart into it to deliver something genuinely incredible#its one of those strange things that really did fully change the trajectory of this little leg of my life#to think that until 3 years ago i hadn't even touched art in a decade#now there are lovely people who want to spend money on my work#3 years ago i bought my first (and only) refurbished ps4 to play this game and now im sitting on a fancy gaming laptop#ive said it before but vp has been such an important creative outlet too#its allowed me to live my dreams of being a film director. a cinematographer. a writer.#the whole game has let me be so damn self-indulgent sometimes i feel like a kid again just unashamedly playing barbie#finding the JOY of just. creating.#i learned so much about myself through an OC because of this game#it went from 'huh what is this feeling? gender envy?' to being like full blown 'oh yea. i get it now.' so much of my life makes sense kfslf#and i met people who mean the world to me on top of it all#woof anyways#i know i say it a lot but genuinely thank u to yall who have encouraged me and supported me and who enjoy the things that i make#youve made such a difference in my life without knowing it!

now that i actually have some coherent thoughts too about episode 8 of buddy daddies can i just highlight. my absolute fave moment for a sec. when rei was sitting at the docks alone, Pondering It All™️ and i just knew kazuki would call him. then he brushes him off, sure. then i thought "man, wouldnt it be whacky if kazuki just showed up there haha" and. and then he did. reinforcing the implications that he's rei's true family. continuing to be there for rei when rei cant be there for himself. he straight up just drove there, faked an emergency to kick rei out of his slump and took him home. to his own birthday party. where they made his favourite foods. can you see why im going insane here
#buddy daddies#buddy daddies spoilers#thus far it was mostly just incoherent screaming crying etc#i actually lost self restraint and rewatched the ep shortly after i saw it#but listen. kazuki has been doing the saving all this time with rei. i Cannot be normal about this#i did NOT expect him to actually show up and get rei#this show is so unashamedly saying 'no. you need support. you cant and shouldnt do this alone'#and to do this with adult men in father roles? dare i say groundbreaking

people will go all "just be yourself and love yourself! :)" and then go "if you don't act the way i want, you gotta reprogram your entire way of thinking then reach into the very core of who you are and what makes you you, discard it, and replace it with this better, friendlier, more empathetic version that's coincidentally far more convenient for me to deal with than any other possible compromise we can make that you can do for me but doesn't stretch your mind to nothing but thin bands of what you'd consider 'You' :))))))"

just wanted to say that your charlos tags on the notp post were a WHOLE ASS MOOD
like i can't deny the chemistry because i'd have a lifetime supply of smoothies from the level of 🍓🍊🍌🥝🍇 in those c2 videos. but i just cannot indulge in it whatsoever
i can't even point to a specific moment that turned me from 'oh they have a fun teammate dynamic!' to a full-blown hater ('hater' is a bit strong but close enough) but it must've been something to do with the fans...
anyways, just wanted to express my gratitude for those tags. nice to know that i'm not alone
darling anon!! thank you so much for this ask - and oh, bestie, you are definitely not alone. you are so not alone, and i am actually hugging you rn, because it's always fab to find someone who agrees with your ship opinion 👌 sorry to the charlos fans out there, but it just can't be for us. #rip
and that third paragraph of yours - ah, man, i feel you so much. i also used to genuinely enjoy their teammate dynamic a lot (loved watching the c2 challenges, etc etc.) and i also can't quite point to a specific moment when this changed? but i do know the general themes about it, and since i had an incredibly long exhausting day at work today, i'm quite in the mood to rant about them. i will do so under the cut, though, lmao, because goodness knows i'm in a petty mood tonight.
any and all passionate charlos or just carlos sainz fans - please do not click on the readmore, because i'm not going to be terribly nice to your fav here, i'm afraid 🙃
so for me, when i first got into f1, it wouldn't have been inaccurate to say that i kinda loved carlos sainz. i loved the carlando/mclaren videos, and i loved the c2 challenges. he's funny, and he's pretty, and he has a cute dog, and he drives for ferrari... what more could you want?
the thing is, though. i am a charles girlie first and foremost. even though i liked carlos, he was never on the same level as charles for me. especially not in terms of driving - because, well, just look at the start of the 2022 season. enough said.
what started getting to me was that group of passionate carlos fans (the carlos girlies) who seemed to seriously think that carlos is a better driver than charles. they would slander charles and call him an inconsistent/reckless driver, while saying carlos was so much better. obviously, this rubbed me up quite the wrong way. and then at the same time, i was seeing carlos on my screen giving interviews where he would insist that if he'd had a few more laps, he would have overtaken max's red bull. like... i'm sorry, but that was never going to happen. in any world. pffft. (my thoughts at this point went: arrogant! he thinks he's better than he actually is.)
so that got me to like carlos himself a little less, which obviously has an influence on the ship as a whole. i mean, it would be hard to like a ship if you only really like one of the two partners in it, right? right? this is what i've always thought, anyway... except that a lot of charlos shippers seem to like carlos a lot more than charles. which is to say: in so many of their fics/characterisations, it's all glorifying carlos, while charles is essentially his arm candy with all the character depth of a rather pretty paper cutout. less than ideal...
the last thing, and perhaps the pettiest of all, lmao, is just that i'm incredibly possessive and insane about piarles. i acknowledge it. in fact, i fully own it. they are my ship, and i want them and only them to be endgame, always. now, obviously i don't expect everyone to agree with me 😂😂 but i don't particularly want to be seeing any content on my dash that features charles/anyone other than pierre as an endgame ship. and charlos usually is portrayed as an endgame ship/they're meant for each other etc. etc. well, sorry. to me, charles is meant for pierre, and pierre only. charlos is out. the end 🫶
#asks & answers#anon#anti charlos#anti carlos sainz#i always feel a bit 🙈 about using full-blown anti driver or ship tags#but i'd rather use them so any people who do enjoy this ship can avoid this post#because my word... i am petty tonight#and petty me is NOT kind to carlos sainz jr#not even a bit#i would say sorry but i'm not 🫶#man it felt SO GOOD to be unashamedly petty for a while#long days are long#but being a bit of a hater can always make you feel better 😌

alright I have to say it--s3e3 of Miss Scarlet and the Duke was one of my favourite episodes so far. bringing in another character to play off Eliza and fill the position William would usually have in the narrative was really fun, because instead of once again sticking us in the endless cycle of their snark and tension, we actually got to see Eliza learning more about a new person and reacting accordingly. and also, I find Mr. Nash a genuinely fun character to watch, and I love the development of his... slightly-antagonistic-yet-hopeful semi-partnership semi-competition with Eliza?? I'm intrigued by his backstory and motivations now, too, and how they tie into why he's so captivated by Eliza. he sees something of a mirror in her, I think, but at the same time, she pushes him towards growth--both out of competition, to be better than her, and out of motivation, because she expects him to be better than he is and that makes him want to change.
anyway! I expected to be a bit disappointed at the absence of the Duke, but I actually enjoyed this chance for an entirely different dynamic. and I think a lot more character development for everyone can happen with those two separated, too. especially at this specific point in the series. (if I'm being fully honest, part of me wishes there would be more episodes with them separated, so they can have a chance to truly grow on their own. I think that would have a lot more benefit for them as individuals and on their relationship together than constantly being around one another and doing the equivalent of raking their nails across each other's freshly-scabbed-over wounds every. single. day. does)
#gurt says stuff#miss scarlet and the duke#I texted Lu whilst watching this episode and said 'mr. nash likes eliza so much. but not in the normal way.#he wants to study her like a little bug. and he's so loud about it. and I actually love it.' X'D#he does tho!! he's so unashamedly impressed by her!! she's so socially-improper and she messes up his attempts to flirt with random women#and she calls him out on his lying and gives him a hard time for using the cane when he doesn't need it to make people feel bad for him#and his eyes crinkle up around the corners and he's just like 'ah. miss scarlet. I would desperately love to employ you.'#also she bosses him around and he just goes 'ok' and does it#instead of getting into completely pointless and futile arguments about her ego or his need to show leadership or anything else stupid#no she just tells him to do stuff and!! he does it!!#he's not a simp but he's not needlessly absorbed in his own masculinity either#and it's a very good thing to see#anyway. perhaps the little toad mr. nash is growing on me. perhaps I actually really want to see him and eliza work together more.

Truthfully, I do find some times about Johnson's upcoming ongoing worrying (as in, I worry it may not be good). But really, it'll be what it'll be, so I think it's best not to worry about it and just take it for what it is when it comes out. But really, I'm still pissed at the fandom for deciding to hate IDW2 before it even came out and reading it in the worst faith possible and I see that's starting to happen again so yeah
#from what i watched of the stream because it wasn't all#he seems like someone who was a fan of tf back in the day and hasn't kept up with what has happened in the franchise#which isn't great because then you can't really have a conversation or innovate#but ruckley also wasn't all that knowledgeable and still did some very interesting stuff#but unlike ruckley johnson said that he's unashamedly focusing on nostalgia and is not going to say sorry for it so#i mean i don't want him to cater to g1 nostalgia but i wouldn't want him to cater to idw1 fans either#well again i'll just have to see it when it comes out and take what i can from it
