Antis: Zutara was never canon!

lol where to start

"I always knew you'd return" "Me too"

"Who are you?" - Why do you need to know, Zuko XD

gently pushes her to lay on her back and moves her hair out of her face as he softly monologues to her? HELLO?

"I'm not allowed to go home without him"- reminds me of when he tried to bargain for Katara's necklace in the "Waterbending Scroll" or their moment in the Crsytal Catacombs.....guess he just can't help sympathizing with her. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Was this really necessary? was it?

Did we really need a bollywood coded scene of katara's scarf flowing cinematically through Zuko's hands as he stares mesmerized for a few seconds and the music swells?

(the answer is no but they did anyway XD)

my mom told me I needed to just rest in the fact that I am a good teacher and I don’t need to be constantly on the lookout for improvement at every single second. it really helped tbh.

I've been looking for a better way to articulate this and I don't have one so here goes.

I don't even care if a BioWare game has shitty roleplaying dialogue. It's happened before, it's not really a big deal. I don't play BioWare games because I want an RPG, (I mean I do want RPGs omg I fucken love RPGs, but) I play a BioWare game for the romance sim disguised as an RPG experience. And if the romance is stub and lackluster....

Okay, friend

wait explain to me the destiel hatred i’m curious what abt it angers u that doesn’t apply to the other two ships

great question! the answer would unfortunately require 3 hours and a powerpoint presentation, so i will try to do a brief summary:

a ship sucking only ever has about 25% to do with the ship itself. destiel is bad in the sense that i think dean winchester is an annoying character that gets treated with kiddie gloves by the narrative, which makes him irritating to see on screen, because i personally dislike it when "men are angry and abusive because they just love too strongly, and don't know how to express it :(" is played straight as a character's primary internal conflict. especially over 15 seasons. it's boring, he's boring, and 35 year old men shouldn't be going to colleges trying to figure out which freshman girls are legal or not. hate him.

however the real sin of destiel, beyond the fact that dean winchester and i have beef that will only ever resolve when i get to reincarnate as the rusty nail that kills him, is that the fans are so so so fucking annoying. like yes the narrative frames dean as a golden boy who can either do no wrong, or "well, i guess he did wrong there, but what about how tortured he is :(" but good god. at least the show isn't trying to convince me that destiel is some groundbreaking lifechanging love story, complete with "omg this moment" montages where they romanticize scenes that feature dean either insulting, threatening, or humiliating cas. like this entire show (post season 5) is dean chronically either infantillizing and attempting to keep cas under his control, or holding him up as the only person he can rely on, thus giving cas expectations that are impossible to fulfill.

and don't get me wrong! people can like a shitty person and a fucked up ship. that's basically everything i enjoy on here. but at least like. acknowledge it. aldfkjalka. and if you're gonna like a shitty person and a fucked up ship, at least write about it in an interesting way. 90% of fic and posts written about destiel aren't even about destiel as presented in canon, they're about two generic men with generic personalities who suffer from the world's most generic tropey problems. cookie cutter ass basic relationship. the high school au of ships. boring.

real quick did we ever get anything in veilguard about the agents of fen’harel? i know we don’t meet any, but was there any info buried in a codex somewhere that anyone’s come across?

[modern-inheritance]

Just to be clear

If any of you ever wonder 'How the hell does she keep coming up with weird new ways to torture and inflict pain in these Gil'ead/flashback fics?! Does she just sit around thinking of horrific things done to the body and how it could be applied?!'

Well...

Yes.

Yes I do.

I literally lay there on my bed and think these things up. Or in the shower. Or while driving. Or at work. I literally set aside chunks of time for this pondering and then spend a little time on the side checking if what I come up with is feasible with or without magic.

It's a pastime. A hobby. It is interesting and requires me to use my brain in new and intriguing ways. It can combine biology, physiology, psychology, history, chemistry, and physics all in one. It pushes the boundary of my imagination and application of a variety of knowledge from a variety of sources.

Note that I do not condone torture, and think its use is horrific, abhorrent and, in a perfect world, all forms of it would never be used. Throughout my research into torture through history and the present, and the aftereffects of it on the body and the mind, it's abundantly clear that torture is above all else horrible and beyond wrong.
