as much as ive liked how katara doesn't have to be as much of a mother towards aang (so far from what ive seen) i also feel like it doesn't do her character justice. like part of her character is that it is unfair that she has to be the mother of the group. she needs to be the reliable responsible one and its so so unfair to her. she's angry (another thing that the live action didnt really do) and she clearly has resentments towards the rest of the group for treating her like this. part of why her mother's death affected her is because she never really got the chance to mourn because she had to fill that role immediately.

so yeah, i like that they're not putting all the emotional shit on her (again from what ive seen) but i also feel like that takes away from her and her spark (which is also something that inspires hope in people)

anyway the thing that brings jake back to the surface in this au is rich. everything else might be vaguely familiar like automatically having a go to order for places jason hasn't been to, already knowing his way around this town in jersey even though jason hasn't been there, christine's face is so familiar but surely that's just because he's seen her in other things

but rich?

seeing rich unlocks something

The point of Shinichiro and Takemichi is not that they're weak. it's that they refuse to fight people weaker than them, so ofc they always get beaten up - they only fight stronger people

It's said explicitly in canon but i think we all need to remember that from time to time bc, yeah, they're strong. (it's just that people they're willing to fight are even stronger. and when that's not the case, well, i think the drunkards Shinichiro beat up in the og timeline are a good example. and that's without mentioning the pole he punches before meeting Takemichi and giving him the power. also they're tanks but that's something fans remember more easily lol)

I get that they probably are trying to make the gigantic robot lizard as unscary as possible but who's idea was it to give the alligator fuzzy fleece skin

There isn't a closeup where it's still enough to be sure but that sure looks like puppet/mascot suit fleece to me.

Also since I'm here it looks cool without its skin

a water bender can bend water but also bend ice which is solid water but they can also bend every liquid but that would imply that if the liquid were a solid that they would be able to bend it so really can't a water bender bend pretty much anything so long as it has a liquid state like rocks w/ lava i mean can a water bender earthbend also isnt air just a bunch of elements that have liquid forms so can a water bender airbend like except fire bc it doesn't afaik have a liquid state can't a water bender bend p much everything and even with that in mind all elements do have a plasma state and if its established that water benders can bend air and therefore every chemical element and therefore plasma can they firebend also realizing that this lowkey applies to every other bender you just see it with water benders more like where do you draw the line right can everyone just be the avatar if they try hard enough

i wish brokeback mountain fics entertained the idea that jack knocked lureen up and thats why they got married more often

cause in the short story jack mentions the fact that he'd never wanted kids or anything like that, so i think its highly plausible that bad luck jack, whos life never seems to go the way he wants it to, would fool around with some rodeo queen one night and he winds up getting her pregnant. and what else can he do but marry her? he's been taught to do the respectable thing, and her daddy would probably find and gut him if he sullied his little girl's reputation and left her to deal w it on her own anyways.

but i just think it would add an extra layer of sadness to it all...the idea that jack, whos pretty much only interested in men, probably only messed around with lureen because he was pent up and lonely and sexually frustrated, and heres this beautiful, rich rodeo cowgirl whos giving this poor ranch boy the eyes and making him feel wanted for once in his sorry godamn life. making him feel like someone sees something worthwhile about him. he doesn't prefer a woman, but he's desperate, and she chose him. she could've had her pick of the bar because shes a big deal and any man would've been lucky to have her, but she chose him.

and now this thing—that was supposed to just be a quick fuck in the backseat of her car to help quell the need for human contact until the next motel cowboy came along—is going to define his entire life.

hes going to do right by her and get married. shes going to have his kid. hes going to be a dad.

his whole life has been laid out before him and the one time he said fuck it and had sex with a woman is all it took for everything to be set in stone. its just so. fucking. sad.
