Epic x ATLA AU that nobody asked for

I know the politics does not make sense at all, I just wanted to see them as benders

Kamala Harris would've been a genuinely great president and I refuse to pretend otherwise just because nihilistic irony-poisoned doomerism has become the default mode of political discussion.

LOL 😆😂... (But true 😭)

It's morbid how the Kiramman family profits off of essential utilities. It's revealed that Cassandra had their family's private architects build the ventilation system that allows Zaun to breathe. That means it's privately-owned infrastructure, evidenced by the fact that they control it directly (i.e. Cait doesnt need clearance to use it for chemical warfare). Cassandra framed it like a benevolent deed (and i see a lot of the fandom believe this) but they don't pay for it out-of-pocket otherwise they'd go broke. So instead it's a source of revenue for them. Like how public utilities (water, electricity) can be controlled by private companies

S1 was vague about the councilors and why they didn't care about helping the undercity so I'll take any info I can get. Based on this, I think Cassandra's indifference is because she benefits from it being polluted. If the air from industrialization remains poisonous, there will forever be demand for their ventilation system and they can profit off of it forever.

It makes Jinx throwing their polluted air back at them with the same vents used to exploit them even funnier. Anyone that complains would be a massive hypocrite because Piltover has been doing it for decades and no one cared until it negatively impacted them

I would appreciate it if the auspol tag was not constantly swarmed by fucking Americans using it for their own internal politics.

I’m at a point in my life where probably I should not engage in content of the sort without my fucking ocd meds, but also there’s a specific vibe to watching a show that’s like everyone’s involved in the inherently brutality of colonialism but then have that show be a Disney property so the only thing to be done about that colonialism is murder a lot of people, and then get reinvolved in a a fandom that’s like hey the only good fascist is a dead fascist pew pew pew pew and then have that all be fucking manufactured by Disney, like idk the möbius strip of consumption violence colonialism viewership idk how I can feel seeing people who blocked me and/or wished me dead for real based on assumed politics talk about getting their politics from the plastic figuring franchise while drawing thin metaphors to real historical violence that fiction gets to to be free from the human intergenerational fallout.

Breaking Idiotic News: Trump declares that American citizenship is officially for sale, and all rich immigrants are welcome.

The current sitting president of the United States, Donald Trump, has stated that the United States will now be offering 'Gold Card Visas' for the incredibly low and reasonable price of five million dollars.

When we reached out to the White House for comment, a twenty-two year old community college intern named Chad answered the phone. He informed us that he did not know who to put us in touch with for an interview because, "we kind of fired a lot of the federal workers, if you missed it. I haven't seen anyone except for Elons kid, X, roaming the hall, in days. Can you please tell my mom to come pick me up? "

[fio-of-the-fae-realm]

Ah, yes, irony- the guy accused of killing a CEO played the same game that everyone else did during the pandemic. Irony.
