Been reading a lot of zukka fics lately, and I keep noticing people writing modern day fics where Zuko is good at all things and teaches Sokka stuff that Sokka then works hard to be good at.

You fuckers, Zuko is not naturally good at shit. He worked super hard to be good at all things he does. He is NOT a prodigy, Azula is.

Sokka is naturally good at everything. He picks up skills instantly. He is just good at haikus, he just learns to be a swordmaster after like a week, he just is good at fighting after Suki teaches him for like a day. The man picks up skills like he picks up elbow leeches. He failed that one time on the day of the black sun and had the most massive meltdown about it because he’s never failed before.

Book summaries below:

Girl, Serpent, Thorn by Melissa Bashardoust

There was and there was not, as all stories begin, a princess cursed to be poisonous to the touch. But for Soraya, who has lived her life hidden away, apart from her family, safe only in her gardens, it’s not just a story. As the day of her twin brother’s wedding approaches, Soraya must decide if she’s willing to step outside of the shadows for the first time. Below in the dungeon is a demon who holds knowledge that she craves, the answer to her freedom. And above is a young man who isn’t afraid of her, whose eyes linger not with fear, but with an understanding of who she is beneath the poison. Soraya thought she knew her place in the world, but when her choices lead to consequences she never imagined, she begins to question who she is and who she is becoming…human or demon. Princess or monster. Fantasy, young adult, retelling, romance

Summer is upon us, and here on What's New to Netflix, we find a lot to discuss when we peruse the list of titles coming to Netflix in June 2024.

Then Jerry Seinfeld stars and directs this somewhat true story of how the Pop-Tart was invented in Unfrosted from 2024. Next, Shia LaBeouf befriends a runaway as they go on an unpredictable journey together in The Peanut Butter Falcon from 2019. And last, Jennifer Lopez has to fight a rogue AI while overcoming her own fears and trusting an unlikely ally in Atlas from 2024.

All of this plus early 2000s nostalgia, movies stealing the plot from Addams Family Values, sexual healing, Ultraman, magical schools, twin cinema, mid-'90s nostalgia, finding out who "the Mole" is, and owning all of Manhattan.

Have you ever OC edition

(This is an old one, but nostolgic)

K: Ok now you how many times have your oc(s) been kidnapped?

E: Okay about like half of them have. Charlie gets kidnapped about 4 times, Grace twice and one Bleach oc i had got kidnapped once in all 15 chapters

E: Ok now you how many times have your oc(s) been kidnapped?

K:Well, 2 of the spies have been kidnapped by spy trainers, in the death note world. The unnamed death note OC got kidnapped by L (the story I mentioned to you with the pages Idea), I think Technically Morgan and Paige were kidnapped and conscripted by Gods, Mel had it happen to her once, and I've stopped counting for Red.

Most only have it happen once or twice, but that's a lot more than I originally thought.

I might have a kidnapping OCs problem

E: Ahaha, no problems from oc i see! :D ;D so the bleach oc i meant got kidnapped once in every chapter of the 15 chapter story.

ok which of your oc's have accidently lit something on fire?

K: Paige, when she is still learning control!

Most of My OCs have pretty good fire training, and therefore while they deliberately set pleantly of things on fire, they don't generally tend to do it by accident.

How about yours?

E: Nice Paige! Well obviously Marciela had set fire to the kitchen curtians about ten times in her life , she is no longer allowed in the kitchen when she's about to sneeze. Ivette had countlessly set many things on fire by accident off shooting or by holding in too much anger. Ravi set fire to his living room once. And poor Maria set the oven on fire twice

K:  How many OCs have some form of spy training or another?

E: hm any spy training ?No none that i can think of maybe Ivette and Erik on gathering info, Ravi learned on is own through trial and error and same for the team

And how about yours?

K: Well I mentioned two that were kidnapped into spy training. Mel does not get spy training as decide to run the "information network". Morgan and Paige I wouldn't consider spies, or trained for it, but information is important to them.

Red, does have training, and I think she's the first one I've written trained like that seriously.

E: OKAY which of your oc's had the most development. and i mean like how much they differ now compared to their original self?

fuck now i want a fic with N understanding social cues with Pokemon, like no Black stop that they think that's rude

K: I would say Red. Like she's my current of course, but also the sheer amount of changes she's gone through, between the AUs and spawning an OC male counterpart. Not to mention trying to pin down how to write her cannon. And the traumatizing backstory that crops up. Geeze she needs so much therapy.

Before that I would say Morgan and Devi.

Glad you like the reread! 

I would be curious to see Jasper with a beard. He was a bit young to have much of one in the first one with him I wrote, but now I'm curious.

I would like to see a reversal with N understanding social cues.

N: did you know it's rude to stand in the middle of the road like that?

Black: did you know it's rude to just run into people like that?

N: I've seen you run into people all the time.

Black: your aware I'm rude. Don't go using me as an example of manners.

N: you shouldn't stare like that.

Black: and you shouldn't leave before people can answer your questions or reply to you. (leaves)

E:And for the oc, it's between Ivette and a really old oc name Eclipsia/Ling a old hetalia oc that once a nation now just a human journalist from the Philippines traveling around and have a surprisingly luck with strange people

Ivette had so much revisions,  i originally had her as a oc for the lorax , but her glitch in to being a poor victim in a fucked up modern hostage game, to being  woman traveling across country with her car and picks up Grace during on of her trips to being the witch we hVe now.

K: Do you have any OCs with reservations on stealing?

I am having trouble thinking of any of mine that don't have video game morals regarding that. Except maybe Shiloh Shepherd.

On a sidenote I'm reading the sequal to viral, and in the first book there was a lot of B&E to do or swipe things, and in the first 100 pages of the sequal she has convinced her pack and succescfuly gone through with swiping a pirate treasure map. Anne Bonnys in fact!

E: Ivette has been on a long journey and now has her core story, yeah i liked the lorax so Ivette was still center with family and more level headed with the same maturity she has now. She balanced out Onceler, but again so much revisions and she took her own reigns and pulled me with her. 

Ling did the same and she is one of my precious ocs, maybe she can be reporter on our heros *laughs*

K: I love it when they do that.

Paige was originally supported to take on the Emerlan kids, but went into PJO.

That would be pretty cool to see. Reporters are a superhero classic .

E: Truthfully not many have any problems with it, well cept Erik and Daniel they may be reluctant.  Ivette has no problems with it sometimes if you really needed it, same with Malik, . Ravi has no qualms from stealing from villians,  ditto for Ling for information purposes.

Michelle definitely, but will bite her lip if you have a good reason for it. Charlie steals your food has no shame

Keep talking about Pidge bro. ^^

Definitely,  Ling is always on the scene everytime. She's more serious, however and will be the reporter to turn to for help

K: Weirdly enough that old comercial they put in about not pirating movies,or the music specifically , came into my head.

What is it about protagonists these days, and their stealing? One day I'm going to have to write a character who subverts this.

I like the viral series much better then Maximum ride, Actually. It involves more science, solid dynamic, and well built mystery.

Paige Sprickerhoff, is Morgan's apprentice. She came in when Morgan hit her lowest, and had to figure it out more or less on her own. Morgan was pretty out of it, and was more or less on autopilot. After that one, Morgan comes back a bit and trains her. Brutaly. In like about everything she can think of. She's kind of aware she messed up, and wants to make up for it as much as possible.

Morgan makes it seem easy, but Paige is having a lot of trouble getting the fire to work with her. Morgan is earth , and Paige's fight style Definitely takes on an earth style, such as a combined move where they made lava floor, and built it up.

Where Tortaral is fairly Guardian sparse, the PJO verse has a lot, and a fair bit more focus on cooperation. She needs to learn to work with people, and to ask for help.

She does become friends with Nico, in a misadventure in China. I plan on keeping the original PJO serries and the Kane chronicles intact (more or less), but I think I would like to shake up hero's of Olympus a fair bit.

Paige is Pakistani-Canadian, has a lot of family, and doesn't talk about them a lot because she misses them badly.

E: Oh any of your oc's that has appeared in the media before?

K: Well, Red probably has a thing for Grand theft auto. The media

Paige appeared in the newspaper twice. Once as a child, then as a  missing person. Reds various masks have shown up.

And Mel is in the Bingo book, and mentioned to be banned from Kiri. Oh, and Chase had a moment on Tv with his mom.

E: Ivette has shown up every once in a while in wizard newspapers with a function with the Clearwater*I'm going to give Michelle a better last name*, with the traveling doctor group and of course her getting arrested.  Ravi appears briefly on television about his father's murder, and Marciela in a news paper article for young inspiring ballet dancers. Ivette got arrested a second time then got better on getting away with it more subtlety. 

K: Have you ever used dead family as a backstory builder?

Like ok, Morgan's Dad Lex, loved his wife, she was pretty kickass, and when she is killed, is both out for blood , and struggling to keep his status.

Ax had a dead friend, and a father figure that was killed, that hits the psyche hard.

Red is the dead family member, and Godfather Raye was Jaspers. 

E: Yes i have. Ravi in this instance since his dad is dead, Ling had two of her elder siblings die in a gang related dispute that got swept under the rug became a journalist for truth, and Marciela for her father. 

K: Sometimes Red and MT share a dead twin (either Monique or Theirry) sometimes the twins have Red (Jasper or Carnelian) between them, as a dividing line. Occasionally all three of them exsist in the same space.

Paige does not have a dead family member problem.

Nor Mel, though she has a dead meantor.

Morgan does, given her mom was dead Before the series started

One of the spies sisters got shot in a swimming pool.

K: Ok, oc's that have no problems tag teaming their villains?

K:I can't think of many that would have problems with that, given the option.

Well besides Ax. Ax isn't going to drag the trainee into that sort of shit. And weirdly enough the spies.

Maybe Sara counts as well. Sort of.

Devi and Chase have their teams.

Morgan has friends, prefrably ones that can fight. Sometimes she brings them as back up.

Paige would bring Morgan. She needs to learn to cooperate with other people, other elements.

Mel is used to working with people, and Kohona trains for teamwork. They use the old one two a fair amount (zap them and wack them)

Red is trained to opperate on teams and alone.  She tag teams pretty well , and is getting really good at working with Desmond

Even the FFX oc who's name I forgot works with a team

How about you?

E: Everyone has a team or partner they prefer to work with, if its a really strong villain then everyone is on it. 

Ravi needs to keep an eye on Puma so he stop sleeping on high places

I kinda meant to phrase it as any oc willing to tag team with a villian.

K:Oh ok.

That's more based on morals.

Well Mel was willing to work with Itachi to figure out how to time travel to prevent the zombie apocalypse.

Red and Morgan work with some pretty shady people at times, and how that partnership ends depends on what lines are crossed, and the power balance. The objective also matters.

It could end with no bridges burnt, or it could end in backstabing, it really depends on how it goes down. Genraly they try to keep a reputation of not killing "alies" but they both have their lines in the sand.

Paige , besides being an occasional bank robber, is a lot less willing then morgan then to go there, though she has her less reputable contacts.

The spies, and generally any death note character, yes.

Ax, yes.

Devi and Chase are a strange case. They would tag team with N, king of the villean group, to take on the head villean. N isn't quite a villain though.

Sara, hasn't really had the chance.

I think think most of the rest of my characters wouldn't.

E: True mostly based on their morals.

Ivette, Malik, Ravi and Puma have indeed worked with some of their villains. They still keep their guard up cause it can end very badly if it went the wrong way. They have most pressure on them and they have enough understanding to push past pride to make an ally with someone like that.

Marciela hasn't had the chance to yet.

Maria probably has to with Info-chan in Yandere simulator for help on the murders on school. Info is the person willingly sells you the knife to stab people or kill them.

Ling is incredibly reluctant about it but she has too at some points.

Michelle would only if they shared one common goal, but would immediately cut off after its achieved. She wants peace.

The others are mostly leaning on no for now.

K: What is the strangest colouring you have given a character?

Surprisingly mine is Ax, of golden green eyes, and darker then usual skin.

E: Ohh! I have three actually!  One pale girl, i can't remember her name short black bob hair with bright orange eyes and the other a girl named Amourette or something with aquamarine eyes and hair color tan. Ling had darker skin, sunset red eyes and very black hair.

There's nothing funnier to me than zukka fanfictions where Sokka finds out Zuko used to fool around with Jet. It's like Jet is physically haunting him and it's hilarious. It gets me every single time it happens.

Atlas Gewitter AS7-K3-Tb2

Gewitter was the custom command 'Mech of Lieutenant General Theodora Marten-Steiner, notable for her role in the early formation of the Third Star League SLDF, Operation TOUCHDOWN, Operation WINDFALL, and the later Lyran War of Reclamation. Famous in her eventual role as commander of the hyper-elite Royal Guards RCT, the Lieutenant General also served as the second commanding officer of the Royal Black Watch regiment, after its second re-founding in 3151.

Gewitter is built on the Atlas chassis, though a great deal of modification has made it truly one-of-a-kind. The original platform upon which the venerable ‘Mech was built was the Atlas AS7-K3, notable for its inclusion of jump jets. They remained a hallmark of Gewitter, carrying through to the final model, introduced on the battlefields of Helios in October 3153, much to the horror of the Word of Blake forces at the Battle of Fort Bayeux.

Gewitter is, at first glance, a fairly standard Atlas mech, originally of Defiance Industries manufacture. However, after two major refits, very little remains of the original K3 as it entered service in 3134.

The first refit was conducted by the MechTechs of Skobel Mechworks at their Yakima Proving Grounds on Terra. There, for a time, Gewitter sat opposite Test Unit Sierra Five - the original Mackie and the first ever BattleMech - while the Atlas was fully rebuilt. The refit focused on integrating mixed Inner Sphere and Clan technology along with additional command gear, armor, and sensors; steps were also taken to shave weight from the original design. This further enhanced its pilot’s dynamic, fluid style with greater maneuverability. An extra additional step added late in the refit process, as ordered by Commanding General Melissa Hazen herself, saw Gewitter's right hand fitted with a half-ton, 24-karat engagement ring, complete with the largest natural diamonds ever cut in human history - the inside band of which was etched in micro-font with the entire Jade Falcon Remembrance. This ring remained upon Gewitter's right arm, even after the wedding of Hazen and Marten-Steiner in the aftermath of Operation TOUCHDOWN.

The second refit, performed on the battlefields of Helios by Star Captain (later Khan) Xerxes Truscott of Clan Star Adder, focused primarily on the integration of two newly designed, powerful, and devastating weapons: the Clan-spec Light Gauss Rifle and the Pile Bunker.

After this second and final refit, Gewitter was equipped as follows:

HGN-732bM "Old Bird's Nest"

Manufactured specifically for Commanding General Melissa Hazen at the direct order of ilClan Ward, the HGN-732bM was designed to be as much a prototype of the HGN-732Ib "ilClan Highlander" as it was a command 'Mech for the newly resurrected Royal Black Watch. Stuffed to the gills with advanced systems for defense, mobility, and communication, as well as a impressive arsenal nearly equal to that of the original HGN-732b, the one-off prototype 'Mech has already come be known as the "Old Bird's Nest", an affectionate nickname referring to Commanding General Hazen's advanced chronological age, and how much time she spends in the Mechbay, personally tinkering with and adjusting the 'Mech to her liking, sometimes even with the help of her personal Mech technicians.

Starting out life as the prototype of the HGN-732Ib, the "Old Bird's Nest" would soon see an almost continuous amount of tinkering and changing by technicians from both the ilClan and the reborn SLDF. When then-Star Captain Hazen was appointed to lead the reborn Royal Black Watch, the 'Mech received a massive overhaul to become perhaps the most well-equipped Command Mech in the Inner Sphere. The upgrades started with a massively expanded and improved communications and sensor array with satellite uplink capacity. To this, the first unit of the experimental Neutron Star CEWS (based on Nova CEWS designs smuggled from the Clan Homeworlds) was linked, along with the DeadEye Superlock 18K Clan-spec Targeting Computer from the exact Hunchback IIC that Hazen used in her Trial of Position in the 3020s - this computer was not upgraded to modern specs by order of Hazen herself, save to add the advanced Variable Range Targeting program in trials for the HGN-732Ib.

The weapons loadout is largely a replication of the old HGN-732b Highlander, though upgraded with modern technology. Mounting a Light Gauss Rifle in place of the standard Gauss of the HGN-732 was a decision by Hazen to gain more range at the expense of sheer damage output. The LRM-20 and SRM-6 remain, though upgraded with Artemis-V FCS. In a curious move that shows Hazen's admitted loveof the past, only one of the ER Large Lasers is a modern-manufactured Clan design - the others being one of the ER Large Lasers mounted on General Aleksandr Kerensky's Atlas II, and another the sole remaining weapon recovered from the irradiated wreck of Colonel Hanni Schmidt's Black Watch Highlander. A highly experimental RISC Advanced Point Defense System provides protection for the 'Mech and its starmates. The use of a Combat Computer helps the 'Mech's 10 Clan double heat sinks keep cool.

Using a prototype Clan-spec Endo-Steel chassis, the "Old Bird's Nest" is covered in 17.5 tons of Valiant Lamellor standard armor, incorporating panels taken from the wreck of General Kerensky's personal Orion. A trio of Clan-spec Pratt & Whitney Jump Jets enable the 'Mech to execute Hazen's trademark extremely accurate "Highlander Burial", and prototype RISC Super Cooled Myomer technology helps the 'Mech keep cool even during movement, while Clantech CASE II protects the Mech from ammunition detonations.
