LEGENDARY Final Boss Race From NFS The Run

[likealittleheartbeat]

I try to generally be constructive and engaged with the show I love on here, so on this day, I’ll just say that one of the most thematically important aspects for me from the original ATLA is Aang’s emotional core of real shame for running away when he was hurt by the monk’s decision to send him away. People who feel the kind of deep-seated shame that Aang feels from this decision can understand how that kind of all-encompassing shame is not built around a simple failure or a lie they tell themselves; it’s constructed from real misbehaviors and transgressions of their own sense of ethics—lashing out, telling lies, attempting to hurt others intentionally—that then have consequences (abuses, abandonments, or deaths) which seem to far exceed their expectations or even basic logic.

The combination of the misbehavior with exaggerated existential punishments (along with a lack of support and amend-making in the immediate wake of the events) is what transforms a sense of guilt (I fucked up) into shame (I am a forever fuck-up). Then shame, that sense of being a secret monster ‘no matter what I do or how good everyone thinks I am,’ invites all the avoidance strategies (Aang puts on big smiles, makes lots of jokes, constantly tries to make everyone happy, hops from town to town without building deeper connections). One doesn’t want to acknowledge one’s true feelings or let others in to see those feelings and experiences because it’s too painful to face the grief at the same time that you have to look at yourself for being responsible—even when you recognize it wasn’t totally your fault. It’s just that if you had just been good, less emotional, less human, then maybe the world wouldn’t be so messed up. Of course, in a zen view of things, the world will always be messed up in the same way it will always be beautiful. These are constant facts that always coexist in balance, and this is the truth that Aang learns and that undergirds the whole series.

So I always loved that Aang ran away. It was his sin and his salvation. And it becomes this constant tension for the series—he gets hurt in Bato of the Water Tribe and starts to run away from Katara and Sokka, he runs away to the Guru in the Crossroads of Destiny and his best friend is attacked, he and the gaang retreat after the Day of the Black Sun failure, he runs away to meditation in Sozin’s Comet when everyone wants him preparing for war. Aang’s reluctance to be a hero and the attachments and petulance for which he gets criticized are what metamorphasize to become his most noble attributes. They allow him to empathize with others shame and, ultimately, wield the kind of compassion that can deconstruct the power and perfectionism of imperialism.

So yes, Aang ran away from his temple 100 years ago. It wasn’t the mentally healthy choice. It wasn’t the ethical choice. It wasn’t the wise choice. It was human and emotional and shameful and real. Aang is a better character for it. ATLA is a better show because of it. And we are better people when we understand these kind of tragic emotional experiences that people are trying so hard to grow through.

My first ever fanfics on Ao3 were actually Dsmp fics back in 2021. I think I wrote about like five of them, before orphaning them all when I left the fandom. Sometimes, when I’m feeling bad about my writing nowadays, I’ll go and find those fics. I like seeing how my style has improved over the years, and how cringe my writing was back then. Honestly, if it weren’t for the dsmp, I don’t know if I would’ve picked up fic writing again.

(And while i will never share my old dsmp fics, nor do I want them attached to my Ao3 handle, I have been getting back into the Dsmp recently, maybe it’s time to go back to my roots and start writing dsmp fic again.)

WHAT IS THE BAD BOYS RELATIONSHIP???

I’m so confused, are they a polycule or not??? Are they merely homies who just so happen to share a bed and call each other babe?? Are they a family??!!!

ANNOUNCEMENT

I'm proudly to announce that I'm currently developing a Persona x Need for Speed crossover fan fiction titled: Need for Speed Takeover!

Inspired by Persona 5's rebellious theme and Need for Speed™ Heat's story (including referencing several medias, such as Initial D, Wangan Midnight, Hot Wheels AcceleRacers™, Rockstar's Midnight Club, Ridge Racer and other NFS games), and also to commemorate both P5R's 5th anniversary (in Japan) & Need for Speed's 30th anniversary, I hope you can immerse yourselves into the story's action soon*!

Also, I have made several crew logos for the fic.

*(Please play NFS Heat, thanks!)

"That's when my heart thunders in my chest and warmth spreads down my arms,"

These moments where it becomes clear that Damon needs to know people care about him, and love him, and don't want to hurt him. He'll endure anything if it means he gets to keep their love. Which is why anything that can take them away is a threat.
