Roevember 16: Danger
Though long-since abandoned by its Sharlayan keepers, the Great Gubal Library does not want for visitants, its halls ever stirring with the voidsent guardians who walk its corridors. With danger at every turn, the fool who dares trespass here would find not wisdom but certain doom.

here's a fun fact for you:
most of agatha christie's murder mysteries exist in a shared universe. Inspector Battle, Colonel Race, Hercule Poirot, and Tommy and Tuppence share a universe (i'm 99% sure about tommy and tuppence, but I may be wrong, they may exist in their own universe. the others are indisputable though)
Miss Marple does not, becuase Miss Marple is a fictional character in the HPSU (hercule poirot shared universe)
In 'cards on the table', ariadne oliver, agatha christie's self-depricating self-insert detective novelist character, is confirmed to have written the book 'the body in the library', which in reality was a miss marple mystery written by agatha christie.
that's mildly interesting, but here's where it gets really fun:
agatha christie exists in the Miss Marple universe.
in the irl cards on the table, a character mentions having autographs from several famous detective novelist, and specifically names dorothy l sayers and agatha christie.
which means that agatha christie is the fictional self-insert of her fictional self-insert.
and also begs the question: did the agatha christie who exists in Miss Marple's unverse write a novel called cards on the table in which she introduced an author self insert called ariadne oliver?
is this a case of infinite agatha christie recursion?
#agatha christie#cards on the table#the body in the library#ariadne oliver#no she didn't intend anyone to think about this in any depth#but it's fun so i'm going to do it anyway

Interest Check:
Please don't hesitate to vote "No" if that's what you mean, I'm not taking it personally, just need to gage if I can sell these. Also they would be clear or dye cut so ignore the white rectangular background.

The Library
Ground hog pipe organ. That's really quite twee.
Since when is Sokka concerned about the time crunch? Although he's right about the whole 'no plan' thing.
Katara is such a little sister sometimes.
Is an ice spring a thing? I feel like we wouldn't have invented refrigeration if ice springs were possible. What a cool idea though.
Dentists aren't a thing in the avatar universe.
Does sword guy sterilise those swords between drinks? How clean are the insides of the sheaths? Why is someone so overqualified working as a blender? How boring is this town that master swordsmen resort to being Magic Bullets to pass the time?
Has it ever occurred to Aang to try to maintain a little mystery around his identity? At the start of the first season, people's first thoughts when seeing an airbender were probably "wow! the fire nation missed one!" but by now it has to be well known that the airbender ping ponging around the earth kingdom is THE avatar. It's not like he didn't have other options. He could have waterbended the smoothie away. He could have asked Katara to waterbend the smoothie away. If I were feeling angsty, I'd say that a child of peacetime just doesn't have it in him to be sufficiently suspicious/cynical to feel the need to disguise himself. But I'm not feeling angsty, so I'm gonna say that Aang had a moment of dumb. Understandable, given he's twelve.
Nevermind! Aang accurately assessed how little he needed to hide himself because this professor is a dumb too!
Cool it with the phrenology.
Finding lost civilisations all over the earth kingdom is apparently a worthless accomplishment. You know, I don't like this guy.
Clam lamp. Coconut lamp?
That fox joke did not land.
This is the Taj Mahal.
Toph's still on probation. Gotta work six months* before you get the benefits package! * or until the world ends with the comet, whichever comes first.
Sokka wants to vacation in a library. I love how unrepentantly nerdy he can be.
Hey. Professor idiot. Wanna find your unfindable library? Go recruit Zuko. That kid finds so well it gives me flashbacks to Hufflepuff jokes.
Not sure what this implies re: the sapience of sandbenders.
The sandbenders have to have learned that move from airbenders. Also isn't that really inefficient? Rotational force goes 360 degrees but they only want force in a single direction. They should have modeled their sandbending on waterbending instead and created a giant wave behind their sleds for them to surf along.
That chin needs scritches.
I hope they're bringing lots of water rations with them. How much water do you thing Appa needs in a day?
Would Sokka, who lives at the South Pole, know what a fox is?
Everyone keeps forgetting stuff this episode. Library is buried? You have two earthbenders and two airbenders.
Love the attitude.
This has been bugging me for a few episodes now so I might as well mention it. I know it's an artistic choice, but: having fingernails the same colour as fingers squicks me out.
Sokka's turn with the dumb. Why would you climb up to the library when three of you can fly? Appa can hover. Just walk down his tail to the window.
That's twice now they've forgetten Toph's blindness. I love her attitude towards them forgetting.
Sokka's boomerang is one hell of a multitool. Whatever it's made of, it's indestructible.
"Don't worry buddy. I'm not making you go underground ever again." I hope that's not ironic foreshadowing.
Stuffed head of anthropology might be an improvement.
The vocal effect on this owl is neat.
Dammit. Now stealing from the pirates is justified.
Why do you even have that? Why did you stuff it down your shirt? Just why?
*Heroically refrains from going on a rant about the value of non-written sources, oral tradition, and pejoratively labelled 'folk' knowledge.*
The Ears!!! Those cute little ears. They have no business being so floppy. Appa & Toph, the duo I never knew I needed.
Appa is a very good listener.
LEFTY SHOUTOUT!!!
Sokka has not only forgotten that he's after a map of the fire nation; he's also stolen the declaration of independence.
Two things: First, this is the best boy. Second, Sokka seems to be a cat person.
You think the Fire Nation, a Nation that knew enough astronomy to correctly predict, plan for, and harness the power of a comet to complete a very successful genocide, doesn't know there's an eclipse coming up and has planned accordingly? Like come on. They named the comet after their Firelord. They obviously know how astronomy works. It would take literally one eclipse, depriving them of their bending once, for the whole nation to become suddenly very invested in predicting the movements of celestial bodies. They know this. I promise you they have safeguards in place. Pick a less obvious time to attack.
So is the owl gullible as all hell or did he let them in to give them enough rope to hang themselves?
Badass line about justifying war. Although equating protecting the people you love with hoarding library books does not hold water.
This owl has far too much neck.
HOW strong is Toph?
This owl sure is destroying a lot of his books.
Sokka doesn't know that Toph is holding up the library right? And there's no way for him to know how quickly/slowly the library is sinking. So this date checking montage makes no sense. Maybe he will find out the date, but if he's sealed underground then it doesn't matter that he learned it.
Do not like.
Very much DO NOT LIKE.
Did they just kidnap Appa?
Should have told him to yip yip. Does Toph know Yip yip?
I am a big fan of Sokka style. Although I'm glad this show aired a decade before Gangnam Style came out, otherwise the memes would have been insufferable.
The owl is going to eat you as soon as it wakes up. Did you see a cafeteria? A water source? Even if you hide from the owl you'll be dead in a week.
Massive points to Toph for holding that up as everyone inside was delaying for stupid reasons.
No.
No you have to give me back Appa before the episode ends. That's the rules.
Final Thoughts
Unacceptable.
This episode felt contrived, everyone involved except maybe Toph had some epic moments of dumb, and to top it all off they stole Appa. I am not amused.
There was lots of setup and little story here. At least that's what it felt like. There were some fairly lame lines that came off as ham-fisted exposition. The ground hog choir was about the only funny bit. Maybe it's the utterly unacceptable ending bleeding backwards and staining the rest of the episode, but I did not like this one. It honestly would have benefited from a Zuko b-plot, and I do not say that lightly.

Shinra has had Sephiroth, Genesis, and Angeal participate in various advertising and PSA campaigns over the years.
The only one all three of them were clearly enthusiastic about was a promotion of the Midgar public library system.

The local libraries are getting in on the beef too? 😂
Also, Hoopla is a good app for reading comics, ebooks, and listing to audiobooks FOR FREE. I first found out about it when I was in college. I haven't watched any media on it recently. The first time I did (several years back) the resolution was kinda pixly even for my laptop. All you need is a library card, that is if your library supports hoopla.

hey yk what?? as someone who isnt on booktok/tube but will occasionally brush past some stuff and likes hearing the drama. booktok/tube needs to get into LIBRARIES. u do not need to be buying every book u wanna read. u also do not need to be buying books if u dont even know if ull like them. u also do not need to buy books just bc other people like them.
not only is it yk. financially not viable for a lot of ppl but also libraries are fucking great and theyre dying out and i think it would b rlly cool if all the attention and community could start utilizing libraries
#ofc i understand wanting ur own copy of a book thats special to u or whatever yk#but we do NOT need to go to a barnes and noble instead of a library#also u get a fun little library card?? magical. keep that shit on u and its like a book credit card#also i firmly believe that the dopamine associated w online ordering could be replaced to some extent w online putting things on hold#booklr#books#booktok#books & libraries#public library

What's your go to 40k faction?
You know how there is the option for Chaos Undivided? Well I am Faction Undecided. XD I do like the Salamanders, just because I know saving anyone in need would ALSO be my downfall and I would not regret it for a second. But at the same time, I do not vibe with fire at all, as an ice enthusiast. ^^' (And space wolves, the cold ones, are not my vibe either) And I have this issue of finding every faction fascinating in their own way, but I do not want to commit before I know everything about every option. ....And I'm sure you can imagine how deeply silly it is, considering the DECADES of lore and flavor that every SUB-FACTION gets in 40K! XD I appreciate them all! I don't affiliate with any though. :) (And I will not be buying an army, thank you. Might think up my own astartes legion at some point for fun, though. :D)
#It's fun to see some people going all out in their faction#and for some people they look at one group and go#'yes these are my people!!'#and it's so nice to feel their passion! :D#But for me? I'm just living in the black library looking up lore. XD#I have a harlequin friend that lets me in without a card ;)#As long as I don't make a noise and respect the books!#I observe happily from where I am :D
