#it is 3am and i am tired

[pinkpastels113]

my opinion on natla (for those of you who care lol)

spoilers ahead.

dislikes:

where is katara's fire??? they took it mostly away except for the (obligated imo) fight with pakku. like i understand that yall changed the story of her losing her mother so that she's more timid and insecure now but that was one of her main core traits. she has a passion and is reckless and sassy, and is a leader who inspires words of motivation to other benders. she is not afraid to sacrifice her life for the care and safety of others. this remake just... does not show that

pakku is no longer katara's grandmother's ex/grandfather, and did not show any plans to go to the southern tribe to help them rebuild, which i genuinely liked from the animation bc it showed that the water tribes are reuniting instead of still being separated btw the north and south (it might come later but there was no indication that it was in the works). he also does not teach katara waterbending. he just validated that she was a good waterbender and sent some kids her way to lead during the fire nation attack

aang does not have a crush on katara. it was one of the main factors that drove his character into a more goofy, relatable, and just overall likeable kid; because he is just that, a 12 year old kid. in the adaptation he is too serious, and the mutual admiration that he and katara were supposed to have of one another is more one-sided. in natla they made it seem as if... aang is a much older person trapped in a 12 year old's body dropping odd wizened quotes from Gyatso left and right about how to be the avatar and to look to the future and stuff like that, but not actually taking them into account and growing?? if that makes sense. like the show kind of took away his gradual acceptance of being the avatar and having the responsibility, through his simple coming of age moments like having a major crush on katara

the first season is completely centered around aang's guilt. he does not learn any waterbending or attempt at firebending (and being scared of it). i assume katara is going to teach him in season 2 but they could have squeezed some kind of training in between the eight episodes?

mai and ty lee are just standing there. like i'm not kidding. they don't do much but give azula an audience in her training sessions and rants about being the rightful heir. i did love ty lee's encouragement though, it was cute

but adding on to that azula does not have that... fear factor. she does not have her friends scared of her, or the fire nation people under her control/influence. at least not yet

sokka and katara enters the spirit world with aang? that was a bit confusing. i understand that the directors/writers need to speed things up a little and need to provide some backstory to sokka and katara, but they are not supposed/be able to go to the spirit world with aang. it threw me off guard

bumi confused the heck out of me. they did not have him reveal his identity at the end so the games and challenge that he had aang do in the animation was given to him in the "catch-up" (basically) of his time in the war with aang. he just seemed kind of (more so than expected) all over the place for me...

roku did not tell aang about the comet. they talked about koh and how to save sokka and katara from being forever taken by koh instead (they were captured when they were in the spirit world). i assume aang will find out about this later? but from what i wonder...

sokka is a bit too serious for me as well... i adored him for coming a long way from the sexist beliefs that he held at the beginning of book 1 in the animation, but that was basically erased in the adaptation, sooo. and i completely understand that what he experienced as a child in this adaptation should've shaped him into a more serious character but dang. it's kinda to the point were his jokes are kinda cringy

his apparent obsession with suki (which was SO cute) but then chasing after other girls immediately afterwards? yes this was portrayed in the animation and i completely expected him to be flirty and whatnot (he's my flirty sarcastic hungry boi), but why have him stare wistfully and longingly at the fan that suki gave him when he is just going to turn around and chase after random fire nation girls (the one that got them running in like ep 3)? it doesn't make sense (and kind of makes sokka seem like an asshole). the creators should not push sukka so quick and fast and hard and then 180 sokka into a playboy. pick a side pleaseee *cries* (sukka was not pushed as hard in kyoshi island in the animation so i was okay with sokka being as flirty as he was)

the kind of arguments that sokka and katara have are kind of patronizing and demeaning. it's more of a "you're such a little girl and need to grow the f up" kinda feeling instead of a "im your big bro and am trying to protect you" kinda feeling

appa does not fight at all :(( . he's just the ride. sometimes forgotten in the background

likes:

excuse me but the azula hair flip?? in her introduction?? amazing.

ty lee is so perfectly casted it's like her animation popped out into real life. the hair and clothes UGH

i cried in the zuko and iroh moments and flashbacks to their relationship/iroh's loss/zuko's burn. CRIED. it was so emotional and well done

again, zuko and iroh's relationship is so strong in this adaptation you don't even knowww. iroh has like zero bad bones in his body from the get-go it's kinda amusing T-T

THE ZUTARA SCARF SCENE

all the cast look like their characters to me. even if their core traits/personalities are changed

jet and suki. that's all i have to say

sukka kiss and initial awkwardness. i cackled when suki went *sad face* when she thought she scared sokka away

OMASHU IS BASED ON A LESBIAN COUPLE

ozai is as evil and bad and merciless as ever. also manipulative. i can get where azula gets it from

it further explains/shows the "my father trained me into the weapon he wanted me to be" for azula

june and iroh. it changed from the creepy one-sidedness in the animation lol and june gave a talk about her way of life

the graphics for the bending are so cool. zuko's fire kicks *mesmerized*

fire nation burning of people. shows really how antagonistic ozai's peeps are

freedom fighters!!

the tiny soft moment between zuko and aang when zee blue spirit saves him :DD

hating zhao as he should be hated because he's as cowardly and stupid as ever

the 41st division!! cried at that nice touch

the way zuko actually fought back and showed compassion for his father in the agni kai and how his father basically forced him to be the way he is (all angsty and conflicted and whatnot) because "compassion is weakness and here is the scar i manually burn into your face to prove you)

overall if you love zuko this is your show because other characters may have faults but they killed it with my traumatized dude with the lil scar! and his uncle!! which he is already and always super nice to!!

I fucking hate the fact endos get to RP a disorder that makes me forgot what i did 2 hours ago 🫥

yeah.. it's not fair. They get to RP having the "good parts" of our disorder while the rest of us who actually have it end up suffering with all the "bad parts". Then they get to frame themselves as victims when we ask them not to take our trauma and our struggles and use it as their own "hobby" essentially.

i have been writing words again (slowly!) after so long, and I am so happy because they are:

a) planned, and

b) not born from unimaginable grief and loss and pain, and

c) written in a state of joy and excitement!

It's a slower, steadier, more measured process. But that's not necessarily a bad thing!

chugging right along on my multichap! hoping to start posting in May, if i keep it up. 🥰 Will share words for wip wednesday after [redacted] months. feels strange! feels scary! but mostly, feels good! thanks for sticking around through my highs and lows over the past year. appreciate y'all!!

The Men of 9-1-1 and 9-1-1: Lone Star and Whether They Iron Their Underwear or Not - A Thesis

Yes, he does. He finds it relaxing. Put on a nice podcast or some reality TV and you have a perfect afternoon after a 48 right there.

It never occurred to him before, but when it does he goes all in. Not just his own underwear, oh no. Every single one of Jee's little socks gets ironed, too. Maddie puts an end to it when he inevitably ruins some very delicate lacey pieces but appreciates the effort.

Only when he's stressed. It's actually an early warning sign that he might need an intervention.

Yeah, no. Boywonder had to look if he even owned an iron when he learned that this was a thing. Turns out he does! It's still got the little sealing stickers on it and he has no recollection of buying it. Might start using it now that he knows it's there.

Are you kidding? He's an adult with class, of course, he irons his underwear. Doesn't everyone?

He used to because it was just one of those things one does, right? But then shortly after transferring to Harbor he had a bit of a moment (actually while he was in the process of ironing his underwear) of thinking to himself 'why am I doing this?' and he couldn't find a satisfying answer beyond 'It's just what you do'. So he stopped. In fact, he's re-evaluated a lot of things he just did out of habit and if it didn't spark joy and he found that he couldn't really say why he does it, he stopped doing it. He's been a much happier person since.

Wait, that's why his underwear has been feeling off since he came to the US? Because someone back home used to iron it? Wild.

Oh absolutely. Like Bobby, he finds it to be kind of meditative and it makes sure everything folds exactly the right way. Plus, he likes to spray his laundry with organic lavender water and the ironing really gets it in there.

No? Why?

Not his own, but Grace likes it if her cotton items are ironed so of course he irons those.

Of course, he does. His mama raised him right, after all, and everyone knows that it softens the fabric making it so much more comfortable, right? Right??

Wait, that's a thing that people actually do?

No, he doesn't. His husband does it for him, duh.

rewatched atsv for the first time in forever so you guys get a very rare unmasked Spider doodle and ramble under the cut!

Unfortunately Spider would be on Miguel’s side in the whole canon argument. Now I can be silly and say it’s bc she thinks Miguel is pretty and would do whatever he says because of it, but that’s not entirely true!

Spider does think Miguel is pretty (duh, she’s still a sona/variant of me so it’s a given lol) but her loyalty is more than just thinking her boss is attractive (if anything it kinda doesn’t have anything to do with it. It’s more of like a one sided work crush yknow? She’s actually lowkey scared of him lol). She’s not one to question authority and will usually do whatever she’s told if it comes from someone in a higher position than her. I genuinely don’t think she’d immediately turn to Mile’s side, it would take some convincing. And even then she’d feel a ton of guilt for not “following the rules”. So that’s one thing.

Spider is also just really loyal and thankful to Spider Society as a whole. They give her a place to stay outside of her dimension which for the most part is kinda uneventful (her sinister 6 haven’t been formed/created yet. She’s usually stuck webbing villains of the week back home). But in Spider Society she found a new purpose capturing Doc Ock anomalies, and she enjoys it a ton! It gives her something to do, lets her meet with her friends from other dimensions, and makes her feel like she’s helping a good cause. So why would she turn against the organization that gives her current life purpose?

And in regards to the doodle, she unfortunately would probably turn in other Spider-people if she found out they were trying to rebel or do anything against Spider Society or Miguel. She’s just too loyal for her own good, rare Spider L :(

Although I do think she could be convinced otherwise if it was a close friend! It’d probably just take a long fight and heartfelt conversation tho..

anyways thanks for coming to my ted talk, here’s another version without the shading bc I think it’s nice too :D
