ATLA sexuality headcanons, part 1, Aang's era:

aang

-unlabelled or pansexual, also incredibly gnc. he/they methinks

-he never questioned it, he never thought about it. the air nomads were chill with everything, so he was too.

-he simply loves people, and he loves them deeply. he's the sort of person who says "i love you" very fast. and he doesn't have a specific type, either. he simply connects with people.

-he definitely had a bit of a thing for kuzon back in the day. kuzon taught him all the fire nation dances he knows, and bumi cheered them on.

-he also kinda digged teo, the mechanist's son, but by that point he already had his heart set on katara.

-as for girls, he DID like on-ji. in different circumstances, they would might have dated for a short while. but with katara it was love at first sight. the sort that makes you giddy and stupid.

-he's a lot worse at rizzing up katara because he is just THAT into her and he keeps fumbling

katara

-growing up, she never really questioned it. she knew she definitely liked boys and never had feelings for another girl.

-she's certainly fully cisgender. happily says “she/her/hers” when asked for her pronouns

-on the contrary, she was somewhat attracted to haru and jet both—and might've even considered zuko in different circumstances. like she definitely felt something akin to attraction in the crossroads of destiny.

-she fell in love with aang, because he gave her hope, he gave her joy, he gave her balance. she already felt SOMETHING in the cave of two lovers, but she was deeply confused and her feelings didn't clear until after the war.

-she always thought of herself as straight but said that, if she had the chance, she would be willing to kiss a girl—as an experiment. she just sort of always admired pretty girls, in the sense of "do i wanna BE her or DATE her,"

-and she's really passionate about feminism, obviously

-she always prefers getting compliments from other women because "they're worth mOre"

-eventually she meets jiang who's such a butch lesbian and questions EVERYTHING

-is that a girl? is that a boy? idk but why are they kinda...

-niyok and nutha both give homoerotic friendship vibes with her (all comic specific characters have the combined personality of one person hence why I'm including both)

-since she was dating aang she didn't explore her sexuality, but she discussed it with him and he supported her

-she considered identifying as bi but didn't feel like she qualified, since she'd never actually dated a girl. aang told her it's okay eifher way.

-at the end she decides to keep it all behind closed doors as per water tribe tradition. she's happy with aang, some girls are hot, it's nobody's business but her own.

-i also completely fw the reading of her as a straight cis girl, but you know

sokka

-bisexual, female lean, and maybe even poly.

-he fell for yue, he fell for suki. he definitely found like, ty lee attractive, but he didn't LIKE her. He was involved with suki, and they hadn't had any conversation about the exact status of their relationship so he wasn't about to fumble it.

-suki and him are both bi. and if yue were alive they'd BOTH be dating her. at the same time.

-zuko was sokka's bi awakening. seeing zuko and suki run around in the boiling rock absolutely changed his brain chemistry.

-he had a hard time accepting it, because of how the water tribes roll. he had a preconceived notion of manhood that he obviously had to challenge alongside his initial sexism.

-but then he realised that 1) his dad had been in a secret poly relationship with kya and bato, and then with bato and malina-- 2) his grandma had a fling with hama--3) master piandao and jeong jeongwere a thing--and 4) his girlfriend herself, suki, was bi. so bro had nothing to worry about.

-his identity became clear to him with suki's and his father's help. unlike katara, he was a bit more open and public with it. being poly, him and suki had many opportunities to explore it, always respecting each other's boundaries.

-sometimes suki does his makeup and he grows to enjoy it. he experiments with gender expression until he becomes totally chill with it.

-big part of his character is learning that he doesn't have to be a “man” in the way that patriarchy imposed on him his whole life

-so like, cisn't

toph

-toph has crushes on boys: sokka, zuko, the duke, satoru, sun, kanto. but i think non of them are really legit.

-toph would also flirt with girls, like, yaling

-had a 'not like other girls' phase

-she/they/he vibes, has a very complicated relationship with gender

-because she was made fun off by other girls as a child, it was harder for her to blend in and talk with them

-she was also raised sheltered within the walls of aristocracy which contributed to her not thinking about it

-she avoided commitment and serious relationships like the plague

-so she's unlabelled and perhaps in the aro spectrum. like, demisexual. but being both demi (aka needing to like someone as a person and getting to know them before feeling attracted to them) AND having commitment issues and a bunch of failed relationships is like, a DEADLY combo.

-i don't know. she is chaotic and not at all skilled with romance so she always fumbles it.

-but i also think she might just be 1000% aromantic whether or not she understands it fully

-i think that's very plausible

suki

-bisexual with a female lean and maybe poly

-big she/they vibes

-she's got endless autistic rizz like girl seduced sokka at light speed.

-in kyoshi island they called the bisexuals 'children of kyoshi' and the lesbians 'children of rangi'

-kyoshi island is basically lesbos if you didn't know /hj

-had her first kiss with mingxia before they decided that "ew, never again, i see you like a sister". she was super happy to meet meilin, mingxia's girlfriend

-DEFINITELY liked biyu and they might have been a thing in different circumstances. Aka if biyu hadn't betrayed her.

-would've dated both sokka and yue if yue was alive. like she would have loved yue. both of them having never left their respective homelands. both of them caring about community and having a duty to their people, a leadership position,,,

-but suki being so badass, liberated, free—and yue needing to sacrifice herself to BE free from her oppressive environment,,, like yue would also admire suki so much?? they would love exploring the world together and it'd put sokka out of a very awkward spot-

zuko

-demiromantic, bisexual. like this boy is SOMEWHERE im the ace spectrum but he's also bi. I'd say with a male lean.

-had internalised homophobia growing up, because, duh, fire nation

-he definitely thought that everyone feels like that when he was a child until his mother told him that this was very much NOT the case

-the gaang made him realise that it's totally okay and since they are all so queer he felt very safe with them

-made gay marriage legal in the fire nation

-made pride a thing in the fire nation inspired by the rainbow fire because i said so

-definitely felt attracted to both jet and sokka in the guy department.

-now, when it cames to girls, mai was his childhood crush.

-he definitely found song attractive but he was NOT in that headspace obviously

-same thing with jin although he was in a better headspace then. he introduced jin and song to each other post-war and they dated each other.

yue

-never got the chance to figure out how much girlypop liked women

-i could so easily claim she's a femme lesbian and that sokka was comphet, and I could even CONVINCE ya'll, because he is SO comphet coded, but I really love yue's storyline as it is and the lasting affect it has on sokka,,,,

-i can also imagine her on the ace spectrum

-she's so sapphic she's so queer bro is literally the moON?? what's more sapphic than the moon

-so, whatever, I'll say she's bi with a STRONG female lean. if she'd survived and joined the gaang she would have dated both sokka and suki and i truly believe that

-she would've loved suki and i just KNOW it

-love her so much let my girl be free of her arranged marriage

ty lee

-lesbian or pansexual. was ready to risk it all for mai. also completely down to be in a polycule

-she simply enjoyed male validation and attention due to her unmet childhood emotional needs. the dudes at the beach as well as sokka were giving massive comphet energy.

-i do also accept the possibility of her being pan, that'd be pretty great, but yknow, we do need more lesbians.

-despite being a fire nation citizen i think she'd be pretty open and liberated when it comes to her identity, at least wherever it's safe

-because her own ideology and philosophy is like. pseudo air nomad philosophy so i think she simply doesn't give a shit

-she is really into pride events. she LOVES the parade.

-i think she did have feelings for azula, at least as a child. then it all became really unhealthy,

-still, she felt sad about how things ended with azulw. she genuinely wishes it were different

mai

-she does also give comphet lesbian vibes BUT the "i love zuko more than I fear you" line SLAPS so I'm going to say bisexual with a female lean. she's also definitely asexual—and also demiromantic.

-ADORED ty lee, she just always assumed ty lee would choose azula

-it takes mai a long time to develop feelings for anyone, but when she falls she falls hard

-she's really not a big pride person, but she grows to enjoy it eventually. she goes with zuko and ty lee.

-she's not super vocal about her sexuality, but she also doesn't hide it. she doesn't give a shit. it's her business.

azula

-azula is a lesbian. not debatable like the others, to me.

-her feelings towards ty lee and mai are very reminiscent of sozin's feelings for roku i believe. like iykyk.

-she couldn't remember which of the boys was the one she was supposed to "like," but she remembered perfectly which bikini ty lee and mai were wearing. she picked chan like lesbians pick a random boy to crush on in middle school.

-and then she instesd remembered one of thr gusy who were flirting with either mai or ty lee. bestie was jealous.

-she had comphet, so much comphet. she wanted to be loved.

-so much internalised homophobia.

-she has a type, and it's brunette non benders of similar build. by which i mean ty lee and suki

-the ill will she holds towards mai in her comic for ruining their group over a stUpid BOY-

-it's comical,,

-i love her.

jet

-all the freedom fighters are queer

-jet is probably pansexual or bisexual. and also he/they

-he had a thing for katara but he sure as hell also had a thing for zuko

-he punches homophobes in the face

-i never liked jet when i was a kid because he was a jerk and i hated him with katara, but i grew to really enjoy his character and his arc

-this boy wants to eat the rich

-he doesn't want gay marriage, he wants to abolish marriage

smellerbee

-transfem ICON, she/her, though generally gender non conforming.

-and she's also also aromantic and asexual.

-queer platonic relationship with longshot, because of how deeply they love and understand and support each other

-if you misgender her on purpose the whole group will gang up on you and by the end of it you'll have four broken limbs and they'll be arrested for aggravated assault

longshot

-he's aromantic and asexual but he's got unmatched non-verbal autistic rizz

-as i said, QPR with smellerbee

-but all the freedom fighters plan to keep living together forever,, they're found family

-him and smellerbee just have a particularly special bond

the duke

-the duke is pansexual, i think

-i think he had a crush on toph

-also he/they

-and that's about all I've got

pipsqueak

-he/they/she

-pipsqueak's literally his chosen name, nothing cisgender about that,

-gay

sneers

-transmasc, he/they, potentially genderfluid

-dating kori who is bi

haru

-bisexual, female lean

-he/they, potentially genderfluid

teo

-gay, crush on aang

jin and song

-jin is pansexual, would definitely date song who is a lesbian

-zuko introduces them!!

uncle iroh

-straight ally. women are great! big womaniser back in his day.

-loves gay people

-huge support for zuko coming out

-that being said, he wasn't ALWAYS an ally. like he wasn't homophobic either, but he didn't support queer people before lu ten came out to him. then he accepted it, because he loved his son. finally, travelling the world and studying different philosophies led him to be a great ally.

-then he became the biggest ally ever amd a huge advocate for queer rights

-on a similar note, lu ten was gay. ozai was straight. zhao was straight and azulon was probably also straight. just getting them out of the wAy.

piandao

-gay gay gay. likes men.

-him and jeong jeong as a salty judgmental old couple is so real

-also everyone knows about it but nobody dares to give him shit for it

-he just glares and you immediately get off his back

-he could get himself a husband and nobody in the fire nation would do anything to stop him because they literally cannot arrest him

-he'll just shut the door on their face

jeong jeong

-also gay. big gay.

-tons of internalised homophobia, bless him

-tons of self hatred

-like, the way he sees his firebending as a curse of destruction and hatred and hates himself for it—instead of seeing all the colours of the dragons' rainbow fire, like zuko and aang, who symbolise the new generation

-it can work so well as a queer self-acceptance metaphor

-he definitely ends up with piandao, as i said before. begrudgingly in love.

hama

-lesbian. privately, as per water tribe tradition.

-nobody in the south gives her shit for it.

-she definitely had a relationship with kanna.

-when she lived in the fire nation, things were different. living as her authentic self was impossible—even secretly, it became near-impossible.

-hama's life is one big tragedy.

pakku

-straight. initially homophobic as per water tribe conservatism. the sort of, "just don't shove it in my face" homophobia

-but upon realising that like, both his friend group and his wife are incredibly queer, he gets over it

-iroh helps with educating him

-it's also canon that zuko gives the southern water tribe custody of hama after the war which i find incredibly sweet

-but since hama and kanna were... tight, I find myself incredibly entertained imagining possible interactions between pakku and hama

kanna (gran gran)

-kanna was bisexual.

-in the time she spent traveling from the north to the south she slept with a bunch of people

-fire nation pirates, sand bender bandits, earth kingdom soldiers... hakoda's father is a mystery. a mama mia situation.

-other flings include the herbalist, probably, (all old people know each other)

-even madame wu, why not?

-like it entertains me to think that kanna was unhinged the moment she left the Northern Water Tribe

-and being a non bender she used all tools at her disposal to reach the south if you know what i mean

-that being said, she also learned to fight a bit. probably. just to spite pakku.

-when she reached the south, she had a thing with hama. i say this because of the kataang parallel when hama was taken away.

hakoda and bato

-hakoda is bi, bato is gay

-hakoda loved kya, bato loved him secretly and never told him

-after kya died, bato was his only comfort, they fell in love

-once malina enters the situation too, it eventually ends up being a polycule

-note that i strongly dislike malina and those comics

@radioiaci | Unprompted & Christmas Gifts.

It was not Christmas yet, but if Alastor waited any longer, his anxiety was going to get the better of him. And this gift he had in mind wasn’t typical- nothing so surface level as to be brushed away and ignored. So he set aside the time; poured over the reference books to ensure that they were perfect.

And a few days prior to the actual holiday, Michael would receive a knock on the door to his room. But Alastor would not be there once he answered, a red basket instead left in his place.

Inside, Michael would find a small fruit arrangement, paired with some slightly blander samples of different types of bread. Nothing too extreme, flavor-wise. Next to that was nestled a small, wooden radio- formed and fashioned to resemble a classic-style birdhouse. He had not known if Michael would actually use it but… it was custom-made nonetheless, a few cartoony looking feather patterns carved into its sides.

Lastly, a small bouquet. Crafted with careful intent, even if he knew that not many spoke the language of flowers as he liked to do. Within, the pairing of blossoms was particular. Exact in their appearance to reflect the appropriate meaning.

The yellow petals of the black-eyed susan. The soft, fluffy blossom of white chrysanthemum, paired nicely with the similarly textured blue hydrangea. It maintains its presence with scented bits of spearmint in between; and nothing he offers would be complete without the addition of the flowers of the willow.

Together, the gift is placed into that basket carefully, alongside a small note, folded delicately into a golden envelope that, when opened and the contents inside unfolded, revealed his scrawl across some slightly more sturdy paper. Carefully written- like he was making an attempt at bettering his usual chicken scratch.

This does not equal all you have done for me. But maybe it is a start.

Happy Holiday.

A 🦌

ㅤThere are flowers outside his door. Michael isn't used to being given flowers. Though they were quite popular gifts in Heaven, pretty and elegant, they weren't really something that Michael was given. Despite that, he was actually quite familiar with flowers. Simply because flowers were something that attracted birds. So he had studied them, a bit extensively so he knew exactly what he wanted in his garden outside his office in Heaven. Flowers that would attract his favorite types of birds.

ㅤThat didn't mean he was fluent in their language, but he had a rather standard understanding. The things about flowers too was that depending on the culture, they had different meanings. Which meant there would need to be some liberty taken in guessing what they meant. The basket was picked up and Michael moved back into his room he didn't really live in, taking them over to his desk and setting them down. There were other things in the basket but he focused on the flowers at the moment, wanting to preserve them. He would freeze each one individually with magic to make sure that they never wilted.

ㅤMichael found a vase in the closet of the hotel and placed it down on the desk, adding a little bit of water to it for the aesthetic even though the frozen flowers won't need them. He then started to pick them up individually, picking out what each one was and what he knew of the meaning behind them. If he was home, in his office, he would have been able to pick up a book on them but he wasn't.

ㅤThe first flower in the basket were the bright yellow petals of the black-eyed Susan flower, which from what he knew symbolize encouragement, motivation, positivity, and resilience. They also, as he knew well, were fantastic flowers to attract the American Goldfinches which were big fans of black-eyed Susan seeds. When he grew them in Heaven they adorned his garden with their own gold and black colors as they perch on the stalks, picking out the tiny dark seeds.

ㅤThe other birds that are attracted to black-eyed Susan seeds were chickadees, Cardinals, White-breasted Nuthatches, and sparrows. Cardinals were beautiful birds that Michael loved a lot.

ㅤMichael froze the flowers and sat them down in the vase before reaching for the next flowers. White chrysanthemum, loyalty and honesty. The card he had found, signed by Alastor, made it quite clear why these specific flowers were in there. Honesty was a thing that had become quite important between them. But loyalty? He struggled with that one, settling in his stomach like a heavy weight. He wasn't sure, but maybe the meaning to that was looser than Alastor meant it. Chrysanthemums of all colors were a good flower to attract hummingbirds and butterflies, which are drawn to flowers that are rich in nectar. Hummingbirds were another favorite of his, beautiful tiny birds that looked so full of energy.

ㅤHe placed them down and picked up the next ones. Blue hydrangea which he remembered loosely had multiple meanings, but with the card he was given took a wild guess. Blue ones meant gratitude, patience, deep understanding, sincerity which from Alastor would make a bit more sense. Gratitude for what he did for him, patience for Michael in general and sincerity for everything they've done together. The understanding part left him a bit confused, unless he meant… the original question he first asked Alastor. That understanding for everything he had done, for the way that he was.

ㅤMichael shook the thoughts off quickly. Blue hydrangea were good for attracting blue birds, funny enough. The bluebirds and blue jays, which are drawn to the color blue, a very easy thing to remember. Michael, as blue was his favorite color, had those flowers in his garden too in order to attract those kinds of birds. They were so pretty in the early morning light.

ㅤThe flowers were sat with the others, frozen with his magic, and Michael gathered the last two things up. Willows often symbolize flexibility and adaptability, a meaning he couldn't quite understand why Alastor would include them. However, they were good flowers for attracting hummingbirds, yellow warblers and other bird species that like to line their nests with this soft fluff. Grouse and other birds eat the willow buds where beavers, elk, deer and moose browse on twigs and leaves.

ㅤThe last thing he found was Spearmint which as far as he knew didn't have a meaning but may help balance hormones, lower blood sugar , improve digestion, and can also reduce stress and improve memory. Spearmint attracts butterflies, bees, and other pollinators, but it doesn't appear to attract birds. A curious thing to include but may not have been related to the meaning at all but rather just the scent which was rather good.

ㅤThe flowers are placed aside, frozen forever and something he can always look at. Michael then turned to the basket and took the rest of the things out. The bread and fruit would be snacked on while he did his paperwork and at the very bottom, he found the radio. Birdhouse shaped, brilliant and lovely, beautiful in every single aspect. Blue, gold and white, his favorite colors. He ran his fingers over it, played with the knobs on it and let the warm classical music flow from the birdhouse nicely.

ㅤFinished looking it over he happily placed it down near the flower and turned his attention over toward the gifts that he had wrapped for Alastor. The ones that he had picked out for him and worked hard on. Well, the Radio Demon might be to embarassed to give him his gifts in person, but Michael can do it himself.

ㅤPicking his gifts up he pulled his magic into himself and appeared in the Radio Demon's bedroom. No knocking this time, he was searching for him for a reason. And he found him, easily too, sitting in the bayou with the shadow playing again. He spared the brilliant creature a glance, the smile warm and soft on his face, and then quickly made his way toward Alastor. The gifts tucked under his arm he reached out for Alastor and took his hand, pulling him from the chair without shame.

ㅤ"Come here you silly demon."

ㅤLeading him back into the bedroom part he got Alastor to sit down on the bed and gathered up the gifts, placing them down in his lap to open. "They're not much, your birthday is around the corner I know, they're not as well thought out as what you gave me but I hope—I really hope you do like them." As promised the first one was that blanket he had said he would make. The one not as childish as the alligator one he had made before. No, this one was red and black, stitched carefully with an A worked into it for Alastor. He had even added tassels to the end, something he liked to play with when he had a blanket wrapped around him. Michael had made sure it was long and thick, something to wrap around him entirely when he wanted to be cuddled up with it or just laid across his bed.

ㅤThe other thing he had gotten was smaller, a little box, wrapped with sparkling red paper. This he had to go all the way up to Heaven to get and he hoped that Alastor was alright with it. All it was, was a simple radio key chain. Made it the shape of Alastor's radios he made. That cathedral like shape. The thing was, however, was it was made of Angelic Steel. He had thought, maybe silly like, that he could attach it to his Radio Cane, or maybe something else. It would never break, and he had enchanted it with a protection charm. Wherever he put it, Michael just needed it on him.

ㅤ"I have one other thing, but it's not exactly unwrapable." Turning in circle he made his way across the bedroom and over toward the piano, something that Alastor and him had played together at before. One of his favorite instruments and the Radio Demon's too. He removed his coat entirely, laid it across the table beside the piano and then took a seat at the bench. Waving his hand in the air he popped the sheet music into his grip and then placed it down on the piano.

ㅤWriting music wasn't something Michael did anymore. It took time, concentration, effort, things he didn't have. But he had taken his time with this, wanting it to be something that conveyed at least in part what he felt for Alastor. The way that he had with the flowers. Michael used to do that with music a lot more but now only really did it in private.

ㅤThe song didn't have a name, but when Michael sat down and write it he tried to think of what he felt when it came to Alastor. The emotions were always a tangled mess. Frustration and anger, initially. The way that he made things needlessly hard in taking care of him. The way the questions that he wanted to ask just couldn't get out the way he needed them to, that initial answer on Lucifer being frustrating to him.

ㅤBut then the more time they spent together it felt like a part of that bridge was restored, the gap being filled up as a more clear understanding of each other started to piece itself together. He saw Alastor and it felt like he saw him, in the way that Michael tried to keep from the rest of Heaven. That doubt at the way he did things but the reason he had to.

ㅤThen the crossing of the bridge, where they started to more easily fall into each other. The time spent together, the trip to Cannibal Town, the cooking in the kitchen, the laying in bed together, the being with each other.

ㅤThe piano.

ㅤHe held that memory the closest.

ㅤThe bits of affection they shared, the kissing and the words that tried to convey what they were feeling for each other. The reassurance that everything they did was done because they wanted it. There were still moments where Michael hesitated, where they had made things complicated for each other. The words they picked weren't always the most clear. For Alastor, it was when he set that boundary between what they could be in the bedroom and outside, for Michael it was when he never corrected articulated what he meant and what he was feeling.

ㅤThey stumbled, but they got back up, they fell into each other and once more and things became more clear again. So easy to fix what had started to fracture from the words they didn't get out in the way they wanted.

ㅤLike an elegant dance they were both still learning the steps to.

ㅤAnd that, when Michael played the piano, was what he tried to convey.

ㅤThe rise and fall of their relationship, the words that needed to be spoken but refuse to fall in the way he wanted them to, the moments where they were good with each other and everything just felt perfect. Ideal and meant to be, warming and happy. The moments that he got to spend with Alastor, no matter what they were doing, that was what he wanted to convey most through his playing.

ㅤThrough the song that he had happily written for him.

ㅤIt might not be perfect, music was always up to the listening, interpretation like with the flowers was something that varied from person to person. But the emotion in his playing was what he wanted to feel more than anything in this. He wanted Alastor to hold those gifts, to listen to what came out of the piano, and understand at least in part the emotions that were gathered in his heart.

ㅤMichael was long past the stage where he felt the word friend fit what they were anymore, though it felt more like they leaped right over that title anyway.

ㅤAlastor was just his in whatever way the other would allow him to be and in turn, Michael was willing to place his heart and his trust in the Radio Demon's hands and hope he remembered to watch his claws.

These are my best friends. I still have my most bff, my sis, the OG, Aliesha. She’s the queen bff.

But these two here are my homies. We have had a lot of adventures with music and I hope we have so many more. This pic was in the Bahamas on one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever been on.

This was a day during the Melissa Etheridge cruise 2021. I didn’t know it but a few months later I’d be fighting for my life after taking the required v a € € ne. That’s a whole nutha post. I’m glad I’m still here.

Hi! I’ve been reading your avatar Katara fic recently (which I’m loving) and wanted to ask you about the character Niyok. Niyok featured in only I think two comics canon wise, how did decide on her personality? What draws you to character? What do you like about her? What’s your opinion on her sister Nutha?

I'm glad that you've been enjoying my Avatar Katara fic! It's one of my favorites.

I decided on Niyok's character just from the littlest bit we got from her in the comics. To me, she had always read as this sweet person compared to her sister who seemed a bit more serious and outspoken. I don't know if it's canon, but I always assumed Niyok was the younger sister. So my headcanon had always been that Nutha had always been the more dominant and assertive sister and Niyok was more sweet and shy.

I was so drawn to her because I tend to latch toward minor characters. I don't know why but even if their characters like Niyok, who make very brief appearances, I am drawn to them.

Funnily enough for my Avatar Katara story, Niyok actually was not going to be a member of Team Avatar. Originally only Sokka and Katara were going to depart from the Southern Water Tribe but I got this amazing idea for Niyok and had to change the whole beginning of the story around the last minute!

For Nutha I like her too. I always imagine her as a stern, no-nonsense character but still kind, just someone who has a lot on her shoulders and a lot of responsibility which makes her a bit more uptight. I love characters like that, a good grounding presence to the kind of chaos that pops off in a story like Avatar.

Thank you for reading my story! I know it's been on an extended hiatus but I do plan on coming back to it soon.

Films, Films, (TV), Films: Next Batch

Now been looking after my folks for a year & a half, so movies are one of the main things I can do...sometimes. Some of the TV & docs might be missing &, as ever, if I haven't said so, it is a first watch, as I don't rewatch that many things. I probably said before, but if I don't click with something, I just move on, so these are all good in my eyes).

Reading the last blurb, I feel the urge to mention that Cully's World in Blackpool is currently 8 DVDs for a fiver, but that I hear they are shutting again soon, so go scoop stuff up.

Also, Plex gets The Gasface for making such a hash of dropping he Facebook log-in that I ended up accidentally nixing my account, with all its bookmarks and ratings, and Tubi gets a tentative thumbs-up for being a decent replacement.

So, April 2024 onwards...

Best In Show (rewatch, but I reckon I only half-watched it the first time - very funny, prob the best one by them next to Spinal Tap, I guess)

Playtime (Ebert said something like you have to watch it once in order to get ready to watch it, which makes sense to me - all the comparisons to extremely funny silent comedians seem a bit over the top being as Tati barely raises a chuckle, but it IS, of course, extremely well laid-out and choreographed. I look forward to going again in the not-too-distant future)

Sightseers (I'm not quite so rhapsodic about this as some people, but great fun, v British)

Pictures of the Old World + extra shorts (good, atmospheric)

Scoop (not bad, none of these things hit the mark quite as much as the OG interview)

The Whistle Blower (Caine, solid enough)

Streetwise (1984 doc - I am a sucker for these type of things, but very good, well worth seeing)

Extras (glad I've seen it. Not quite as totemic as The Office, but entertaining throughout)

Ice Grill (a So Bad It's Good one I actually located all by myself. 'Urban', near-impenetrable plot, appalling cheap CGI, but half-decent music by a hip-hop semi-name, equalling quite mood piece in a way)

Nathalie (saucy!)

American Gangster (very good stuff)

Bronson (didn't really twig what sort of film this was first, and was impressed)

Anchorman 2 (I was a bit mean about the first one last time - the whole set-up is pretty funny really, and the nitpicking in the reviews bounce off if you like Will Ferrell, & at this point I have to accept that I LOVE Will Ferrell)

The Kingdom (I kinda just watched this cos I'd got it, but there were plenty plenty more in that pile that I didn't, so I would say tis was pretty good all told)

Eddie Murphy: Delirious

Talladega Nights (I'd been avoiding the Ferrell American sports & politics ones cos...impenetrable...but of course, it isn't in his hands. A very good one if you like him)

The Sinner season 3 (with the missus)

Two Ronnies best-of DVD

Some Mothers Do Ave Em (series 1&2? Picked up some DVDs. Possibly no other fictional character closer to my own)

The Black Panther (I started this ages before and the bit where it went a bit dreamy in the middle sort of jumped the shark for me & I switched it off, but glad I went back to it, as it is a Brit classic really, I guess)

Jour De Fete (I might actually prefer this to Playtime, it is certainly more LOL, & a very entertaining watch)

Elgar (the classic doc, intellectual chore)

Analyze That (extremely close readers might remember I started watching the first one, realised I had seen it before, continued & still liked it, so thought this was worth a go. Obvs cash-in, but I enjoyed it)

A bunch of Alan Bennett TV plays, the one which stayed with me the most being the one about the old Leeds couple moving to Morecambe in retirement...Bleak!)

Wings of Hope (I had forgotten all about this, but it does stand well with other Herzog docs)

Red Road (I started this about three times, partly due to the print quality I could find, but very good I thought, reviews a bit overly picky)

Wake Up Ron Burgundy (that extras-make-a whole-'nutha-film thing - final proof I must have enjoyed the saga overall)

Miss Marie Lloyd (saw a bit of this on telly years ago & was looking forward to it. The Eastenders lass will hold a place in my heart forever for it - a good representation of music hall, one of my favourite music genres)

Zoolander (rewatch - another I think I only half-watched the first time, pretty funny)

True Detective season 1 (with the missus)

An old Cock ESP tour DVD

Common Ground (little local fen historical thing I found in a book swap phonebooth - considering its origins, pretty good/odd, I think)

Hatton Garden (good cast, good stuff)

Drop Dead Gorgeous (really really enjoyed this. Hadn't been aware of it before. Shall watch again)

Solondz season...Welcome To the Dollhouse (rewatch)

Happiness (rewatch)

break for...Le Diner De Cons (had been totally unaware of this - I'm not majorly into French film overall, but I do love their comedies)

Storytelling (rewatch)

Palindromes (rewatch)

Mesa of Lost Women (infamously cut into other appallingly bad films- realised I had it on a triple-bill DVD & thought I should watch it. Dozed in & out of it, which kinda added to the trippy effect. I liked it)

Rocky 2

Rocky 3 (stopped after that, but I was still rooting for him)

Baby Reindeer (yeah, def worth seeing)

Dawn of the Dead (rewatch - I trust I'm finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, with all these second viewings, v unlike me)

The Phone Box (seemingly famous TV short I hadn't known about til recently. Pretty balls-out)

Land of the Lost (obvs purely Ferrell trying to cross into the children's market, but I kinda enjoyed it)

Viridiana (from the ridiculous [above] to the sublime to the ridiculous? Total classic obvs)

David (Ferrell short)

Knights Electric (short off the free bit of the BFI site, & something to do with those people who made the early 80s horror with the children's film school. Evocative for people like me who spent childhood holidays in Great Yarmouth, & pretty cool soundtrack)

A load more BFI shorts

Force Majeure (majestic)

Dinner For Schmucks (the remake of Le Diner De Cons - still pretty funny)

McDonald & Dodds catch-up (sorry not sorry)

Bottle Rocket short (I don't really like that guy's stuff, sorry, but I thought I would at least squeeze this in)

The Love Has Won doc (loonies)

Tropic Thunder (very funny)

A couple of Dave Gorman DVDs

The Tower series 3 (not amazing, but kinda drawn in now)

Gone Girl (they deserve each other)

The Budding Prospects pilot, and

Louie Bluie (very good - making the not overly-productive Terry Zwigoff only the second director I've completed on after David Lynch)

Chasing Shadows (old Reece Shearsmith detective series that seemingly didn't get picked up for more, leaving it hanging annoyingly)

Sometime around here, I also watched virtually the whole of Shakespeare & Hathaway (sorry not sorry)

Dark Horse (second try - kinda put off by the music at first, which I read a great explanation for afterwards)

Damsels In Distress (into this)

Wild Tales (good stuff)

Thursday's Children (extra on the If DVD. Safe to say it would be...erm...made differently these days)

Scratch (turntablist doc)

Entr'acte (very early experimental short, nicely trippy)

I Confess (I think the main complaint about this at the time just shows how insular people used to be [still are?] about other faiths - I found it totally convincing, & kinda gripping)

The Wrong Man (another Hitchcock gripper)

Shaolin Chastity Kung Fu (considering how generic this looked for a chance DVD-for-pennies find - only really picked up for the bonkers title- I thought this was jolly good. Made me think I ought to watch more like it)

London (finally got through the Keiller doc on about the third go. The conceit of the storyline was kinda annoying me to start with, but I will forgive it!!)

Grosse Pointe Blank (neither should be as forgotten as it seems to be on the whole nor as cult as it is to some. Decent watch though)

Devil & the Deep (very early Cary Grant performance in this. I was gonna turn this off but it got left on, & I'm glad it is. Stagey, but solid)

The Wrecking Crew (one of those extremely bad ones with Ice T in. A kinda So Bad It's Bad chore)

Ciao Ciao (another chance DVD find, & a very happy one. Fairly recent, & worth seeking out)

Wild Gals of the Naked West (I persevered with this early Russ Meyer, & I'm not sure why really, cos it is complete rubbish!)

Ms 45 (on about the third go - something a bit artificial putting me off at the start I think - once it gets going, pretty brutal stuff)

Fear City (another Abel F - bit glitzier, but in a sleazy way. I liked it)

Schlock cinema doc

Intolerance (started this loads of times, looking for a half-decent print. Found the optimum one in the end. Extravagant sets of course, but not exactly one for most modern cinema viewers, very clearly upgraded in recent times because people can't bear to say that Birth of A Nation is The One anymore. None of this is to say it is bad though, because it most certainly is not)

Gun Crazy (so glad I finally found this. Awesome)

The Bakery Girl of Monceau (if I was the bakery girl of Monceau, or indeed, the other girl, I'd have binned him off on principal, for spending most of the 20 minute run time littering the streets of Paris with pastry wrappers)

Le Samourai (very stylish)

Murder By Contract (only just read about this before I watched it - another film noir banger)

The Big Boss (pretty brutal Bruce Lee one, but leavened with goofy humour, like leaving man-shape holes where he punched people through walls etc!)

Fist of Fury

Doc on Roger Corman's version of The Fantastic 4

Made In Britain (a pearler)

Death Wish 3 (when I went back & realised I had got this far in the series & that this one is considered a So Bad... one. And how! Deffo looking out for this on DVD, would really enjoy a rewatch sometime. Bananas)

The rest of Dekalog (I was a bit unfair on this before, saying it is overrated. I love Kieslowski, & it is absolutely excellent, it is just that you get the slight whiff that it is like Finnegan's Wake, more referenced than actually seen, or whatever, destined for greatness for the (admittedly excellent) concept, & for the bleak Eastern European vibe (just reading a book on him & apparently he made it LESS so by leaving out queues, ration cards etc), but it IS restrained by the TV format, & unlikely to be grasped all at once cos there's so much of it. So many great ones though, & thoroughly rewatchable, I'm sure)

What About Me (I've been trying a load from that wave recently & this is the only one I got through - kinda charming in its own way, & every few seconds it is like "Hey, isn't that...?", she must be real personable to get all those faces involved)

The Family Friend (a friend has tried to get me to watch Il Divo & I kinda need to concentrate on that, with its labyrinthine politics, but this earlier one by the guy is something of a triumph- what a creation the main character is!)

Life During Wartime

Wiener-Dog

Fear, Anxiety & Depression (last 3 all Solondz - I persevered with this barely functional last one [his first] in order to say...Solondz is the THIRD director I have completed on!)

The Campaign (another good Ferrell one, I think, although I have also rejected a few of his under the radar recently - generally cheapo early stuff or when he is trying to do more dramatic stuff)

Downhill (the Ferrell version of Force Majeure, which I know I shouldn't like & certainly isn't the original, but I still did)

Doc on I Spit On Your Grave

Multiple Maniacs (did take a couple goes, but once you get into the swing of it, impressively bonkers/sleazy)

Serial Mom (the easier version of the above vibe!)

La Chienne (glad I came across this, referenced as the origin of a later one I forget the name of - really tophole early French one, quite visceral)

Boudu Saved From Drowning (same director & lead as above? Very funny)

While the City Sleeps (solid+ Lang)

Wonderland (more for the story than the chops, but impressive names on the cast)

Touch of Evil (double-sleazoid)

The Steamroller & the Violin (the first Tarkovsky I've made it through, I'm afraid, & it's a short feature, but I certainly liked it)

Grown-Ups (really loved this Mike Leigh TV play, with a superlative cast of Leigh regulars. If you like him, seek it out)

Meantime (also v good from Leigh)

Some early Alan Clarke TV plays

A bunch of Kieslowski shorts

The Short & Curlies (excellent Mike Leigh short)

Some Svankmajer shorts

Some classic experimental shorts, most notably Conner's Report, which is hardcore

Ordet (banger)

Shadows In Paradise (great joy to see another wonderful Kaurismaki, must really get more of these seen)

"Do you just like me cause I'm a girl?" Fang asked Kobato rather randomly.

            unprompted asks. » always accepting!

    "I mean, you being a cute girl also helps!" Kobato admits with the beginnings of a sheepish grin lacing his lips. Honestly, he had no idea where that question exactly came from, but either way, he felt like he was being under intense scrutiny at the moment. "But if you were a guy, yeah... it would be a whole nutha story altogether," Kobato then hastily nods, because if she happened to be a man, he would certainly treat her quite differently. Either way, the fact remains that he doesn't exactly have a more complex reason for liking Fang. He just does.

[mellow-worlds]

I woke up to the sound of a lawnmower, this will happen every day now and it sucks

I read some

I watched un chien andalou and nutha movie

I fell asleep afterwards and started dreaming for .0 seconds in an anti-narrative fashion which was fun

I helped my dad cook a lil

We played cards after we ate and that was nice

I really couldn't sleep so I listened to a lot of music (mostly Nirvana) it was nice BUT I also would've liked some proper rest
