Do you get the impression the live action is treating us like utter morons?? Like I thought that making it aimed at an older audience would open the doors for more subtle story telling, but no, they're just using monologues to tell us eveything! Like in the second episode Katara's like 'oh his power isn't that he's the avatar, it's that he ~connects~ to people'. Girl we're not idiots we can see that!! And the first episode with Aang's goddawful 'I don't want this responsibility' monologue
THIS, YES. The word that keeps coming to mind is definitely "subtlety". The show for literal children? Had it. The remake for adults? Not so much.

aroace hate in the ace tag (aro poster), very cool very awesome, love that for you bud, have a wonderful day
this exact behaviour is what drove me away from r/aaaaaaaarrrrro and then r/aaaaaaacccccccce, very nice to see it persist onto tumblr dot com
all this behaviour does is splits up the community, we should be connected and together, not infighting bc aroallos and alloaces and aroaces exist, what does aspec mean, remind me?

one convenient thing about this site is that most changes to the collective sense of humor are announced via a series of viral posts in which our resident killjoys unceremoniously declare a joke to be "over" and "never funny in the first place", something they have usually been trying to do since the moment they caught wind of the latest festivities but generally don't succeed in until the novelty has worn off among our largest demographic: people who are terrified of being cringe.
at first glance this seems like an obvious recipe for toxicity, but fortunately we also have a healthy population of passionate Things Enjoyers balancing this out, and the hater to creator ratio has achieved a relatively stable state ever since the twitter exodus of 2017 shocked the platform into an ecosystem reset.
the real question is whether this balance is resilient enough to adjust for an influx of new users fleeing both twitter AND reddit in rapid succession. the lack of detrimental impact so far is certainly promising, but residents in particularly vulnerable parts of the site ('respectable' fandoms, discourse-prone mutual circles, people with strong feelings about taylor swift, etc.) are advised to take precautionary measures in the coming weeks

Hey you don't know me but that person who's been harassing Nova has a new blog
It's here
They've also been bullying a kid about their weight, calling them fat and a sensitive bitch that is here
Also their trying to start shit with my friend @librarian-computer here is a screenshot of that
We've been trying to report them as they pop up but I do believe awareness should be raised
Actually it's not really a new one, it's one of the dude's many alts that were used to try and chat to Nova.
Evidence here:
I have been getting the mentions you have when this happen and best is to just fully blacklist him from the community. Just block and report, no matter how many times he makes new accounts. Just let him speak into the void as we ignore him.
Whoever he called sensitive and fat shaming them, tell them that they are beautiful and shouldn't get down because of a prick like that.
Stay safe, aight?

We report about an afternoon in early June: it smells like the flowering privet hedge we are walking along, something heady and fresh. Our knees are a garish green. We knelt in the grass to watch a stag beetle totter through a field earlier, and then followed it on all fours.

fascinated by the mental image of a foundation employee putting a load of chives on a vampire asset, just to see if every plant in the allium genus works against them
Listen. It's been a long thirteen decades. They've got to do something to pass the time down there.
