“Excuse me, is this yours?”

The woman spoke, holding out a wrench that had fallen out of the other’s arms. It seemed like she was busy, tinkering with whatever machinery those tools could manipulate. Korra didn’t know very much about being a mechanic ( that was more Asami’s territory ), so she had to settle with knowing the few basic names that she would hand her friend when she needed an assistant.

“I don’t want you to not be able to fix whatever you’re fixing.”

Rumbling.

Why was there rumbling? 

She knew that there were a wide variety of-- things, living here, but how wide? Were there really giants or monsters who were trapped here, too? Regardless if there really were more, the more important question was which one was making this noise.

Out of both curiosity and fear, Korra decided to check it out. Her eyes briefly examined her surroundings, having fortunately found a little piece of nature to relax and practice her bending. As she was practicing with the water from the river, the loud thumping shook it out of her control. She turned her head, only to meet the eyes of the culprit, her pigtails dangling over her shoulders. However, they were as tall as trees.

She coughed to clear her throat, yelling up at her. “Um, hello? Was that you?”

It's a nice graphic, because it also shows that a virtue isn't the middle-ground between two vices/excess. It is above them and should command them.

Virtue requires a delicate balance.

dandelions are magic. literally tiny suns in the grass that turn into the moon and then the stars when you blow on them. fucking insane.

The hobbits in LotR, every 5 minutes: Our adventure is not like we would have liked at all, it’s not fun exciting like Bilbo’s was.

Bilbo, who has been telling the bedtime story version of a story whose tragedy still haunts him: Ha, Ha, Ha, right…

Interesting

okay, the whole “silly writers, siblings aren’t supposed to actually like each other” thing was always annoying, but it has now morphed into actual real-life people telling me and my actual real-life sibling that our relationship is weird and creepy because we enjoy spending time together and aren’t constantly at each other’s throats, so if we could all collectively stop pretending that siblings are only capable of being cruel to each other, and that any depiction otherwise is unrealistic, that would be great, thanks
