#put some respect on her NAME

[rey-jake-therapist]

People say they want more flawed female characters but they can't even handle TROP Galadriel.

If it had been a male character who had behaved like Galadriel did in season 1, rude and bossy, people would call him "broody" and "tormented". He would be everyone's favorite "baby girl".

But Galadriel gets to be called a b*tch.

"Katara was an old lady! You can't expect her to fight!!"

😐

Do people not understand what Katara being completely non-combative in LOK says about her? Zuko became active again to protect his daughter from the Red Lotus. Toph became active again to save her daughter, son-in-law, and grandsons from Kuvira.

How many times were Katara's children and grandchildren in danger? And she was nowhere to be found, not once. Genuinely, how the fuck do you think that makes her look compared to Zuko and Toph (one of which is older than she is)? Are you going to look me in the eye and tell me there's nothing wrong with that? Are you going to try and tell me that this is Master Katara of the Southern Water Tribe?

Nope. Not buying it. That is not the Katara I grew up with. That is not the Katara I looked up to my whole life.

Stop defending her treatment in LOK. There's no excuse for what Bryke did to her. They completely assassinated everything that made Katara who she was. If you think differently, you never understood her character

Does it ever hit you that Martha sat down in New New York and told the Doctor that she needed his honesty more than she needed to go home and that religious music played in the background at that scene and it was almost framed as a confession, in the most religious sense, and go a little bit feral? That as early as her third episode, she was framed as his equal, equally divine, equally a doctor, able to confront him, able to make him honest, able to sympathize with him, able to abide with him? That so few companions have ever spent so much time in one time period with the Doctor (1969/1913, for example), being with him/her, not running, just staying? That for every fucking thing Ten did wrong as John Smith/after coming back to himself in Human Nature/Family of Blood, he trusted her enough to leave himself vulnerable and human in her care, because he trusted her as a Doctor, because she was just as much a Doctor as he was? That Martha was, more than any other companion of the Tenth Doctor's, his equal, that her final speech about not being second was not just talking about her not being second best to Rose but about being second best to him? That she finally understood what had been true from the moment that they met and she closed Stoker's eyes and the Doctor realized that she had not just bravery and cleverness but a kindness that he had forgotten, that Martha Jones, more than anything else, has been and always will be The Doctor?

I wish everyone would stop saying that Wake doesn't care about Gideon or is a bad mother. We only have Wake's own word - to her greatest enemy, no less! - that she never cared about the baby in the first place, and everything she does after her death runs totally contrary to that anyway.

To start with, she's a soul cut loose from a body by apopneumatism. Revenants tend not to last very long - Harrow didn't believe Palamedes would be able to hang on without a corpus for anything like as long as he did, for instance - but Wake is in that sword for 18 entire years. Yeah, you could argue her hatred sustained her, it seems to be the case that ghosts are fueled by their emotions, but does anyone really believe that hate is enough? In this series? Was it hate that drove Donald Sex to take control of a maintenance skeleton and crawl across the surface of Mercury to break into his study? No.

We get most of our direct understanding of Wake in the sword from Harrow - she's a necromancer, and even if she's not a spirit magician she can still feel Wake's soul. Specifically, she feels her hate. Wake has seen Harrow bully and belittle Gideon her entire life. In Canaan House, Harrow is able to handle the Wake sword well enough to bring it to Gideon without puking her guts up, it's only after Gideon dies for her that the hatred becomes so intense that Harrow can't touch it any more. I don't think it could be more clear that Wake is reacting to how Harrow treats Gideon.

And then there's Gideon herself - she's not a necromancer, but I think she still feels some of Wake's presence. Her longsword is comforting, she associates it with safety and strength, and yes that's because she's trained in its use, but I do not think its a coincidence that at her lowest point, when Isaac is dead and she has Jeannemary screaming in her arms, she wants Harrow, and her mother - the two people she loves most in the universe.

Imelda Reyes didn't become Captain of the Slytherin team, the favorite of both professor Kogawa and the broomsticks seller Weekes just to not be in Quidditch champions.

Lilia is so real for grabbing Rio’s arm before she left the campfire sharing circle to go after Agatha and being like, don’t think for a second I forgot what you said in the sound booth. And then Rio literally snarls at her and she doesn’t even flinch. Like ma’am. That is stone cold and I respect you for it.

Natalia Knight would and should beat the shit out of bruce for everything he put jason through. The real what-if we should see is what would've happened if she won the custody battle.

[highladyelain]

honestly i’ve had enough of the heavy stuff…

if sarah could just give us one scene of cassian absolutely losing his shit over nesta ( his mate ! HIS MATE !!!! ) being the recipient of fionns sword.. of gwydion.. the sword that he grew up pretending to weild as a boy in play fights between him and his brothers.

i bet he LOST his damn mind as soon as hunt and bryce went back through that portal.

Why do people keep saying they want Agatha to adopt Billy or that Billy is a motherless child or that Agatha is Billy's new mom.... Y'all he says Rebecca is his mom, canonically in the show. Agatha isn't his mom.

Whenever someone mentions “the gay angel” it’s always Castiel or Aziraphale but nobody ever mentions the only gay angel that got a happy ending (so far).

This is a Dan Wilds stan account; she did not hit a man in the balls with her heels to be ignored by the fandom!!

Can we talk about Yue?

Let's just say there is a world where she doesn't have to sacrifice herself for Tui - because my girl deserves so much better like look at her.

But also, imagine the interactions she could have with all the other characters!!

Also, for that point, I'll be ignoring the fact that she'd most likely wouldn't leave the northern watertribe because responsibilities and her parents and jade jade. Let's just say it's her time for teenage rebellion and she sneaks off with the gaang or something. Idk.

Like she'd be there for the character development for Aang, Katara and Sokka (even Zuko).

But imagine she meets Toph!

Toph 'fuck you and what society/ my parents expect from me, I won't be put into a damn box because I'm not delicate porcelain to be put up on a shelf, I'll go kick ass and show people who I am, who I really am' Beifong?

That sounds so interesting! Like their parallels? Both being kept 'protected' and being put into positions they don't want and don't like (Toph being keept in a cage so to say and Yue being married off to someone neither she nor he loves).

But also, Yue is what Tophs parents see as a perfect daughter. She is soft spoken, elegant, meek and such. She is what Toph isn't.

But Toph gets free. She runs away and becomes happy and free.

I feel like they'd be such good friends once they get over the struggles. Toph would go commit some chaos and Yue would just smile and come along.

Imagine she meets Azula.

She's basically the opposite of Yue but they both have the same royal devotion. Also, Azula is a girl and it doesn't matter, she's respected and she's badass. That must be a culture shock for Yue.

Also, I think Azula and Yue have quite the interesting parallels as well. Both of them are the 'perfect princess' in the eyes of their people and culture but they are soooo different. Both put their duty above themselves in a way, both are 'blessed' (Yue literally by the moon and Azula is a prodigy), both have fathers who decide things for them (The whole marriage thing with Yue and do I even have to go into detail with Ozai?), both are kept in this cage of responsibilities and duty and both suffer in the end because of it, not having experienced the freedom a child of their status could have had their whole life only to be doomed in the end.

(Also, if we just mess more with canon and redeem Azula, I think they could be besties as well. Like they could learn so much from one another. Azula is sorta like an unhinged and abused Katara so I think it could work.)

Her meeting Mai and Ty Lee would also be something.

Nonbenders who are fucking badass? Respected for who they are? I imagine they could teach Yue how to defend herself. Just imagine Yue throwing knifes and chi-blocking people.

Same with Suki.

Another nonbender who's badass and a leader of a respected group. I think they'd get along just fine.

(Also, about that whole ship drama that would probably happen: I don't really care about ships so idk, make them poly? Who cares, just let them be happy man)

But what I would be most hyped about would be her meeting with Kanna.

You know, Kanna, who said fuck you to the sexist rules and just fucking moved across the world while a war was going on? Kanna, who basically told Pakku to fuck off and she won't marry a sexist man like him? Kanna, who's the grandmother of Katara? Who send Katara across the world to kick Pakkus ass (because she must have know)? The og? The legend? It would be amazing. I imagine they would both roast Pakku to his face. And Kanna would immediately adopt Yue as one of hers. It would be so wholesome come on.

Of course there are a lot of other characters that she'd meet, but I think the ones I mentioned are the most interesting once because of parallels and stuff.
