Something I love about ATLA is that it doesn't force the "forgive the villain" on all the characters. It's been left clear that Ozai is a bad person, and there's no chance of redemption; the only reason he's not dead yet is because Aang is a pacifist

The one episode where a character is supposed to forgive someone who has hurt them in the past is the one where Katara is off to kill a man (which, fair) and Zuko helps. In that episode, even if Aang is telling her to let go, she doesn't forgive him. She never will. But she spares him. Not because she thinks he doesn't deserve death (he does), but because she's not willing to continue the cycle of violence

Killing someone can have a very important impact in your entire being, mostly depending on who you are as a person. Aang would've never recovered from killing Ozai. Katara wouldn't be who she is now, had she taken her revenge on the man that killed her mother

And the best part of it is that Ozai doesn't deserve to die. Not in a "I'm defending him" way (ew), but in a "he deserves worse that than" way

Taking away his bending was the perfect punishment for him. He believed bending made you superior and he never cared enough to train something besides his bending. What a loser. Zuko and Azula wouldn't be restrained by something like that

He's alive. Nobody has forgiven him. Nobody ever will

It will never not piss me off that 80s She-Ra toys were action figures but when they went to make toys for 2018 She-Ra, they would only give us fashion dolls.

How did they learn nothing from the popularity of their own toyline?

Literally, three decades passed and somehow sexism in toys got WORSE.

dust should have one of those mini zen gardens with all the sand and the little rake you use to make patterns but instead of sand its monster dust. specifically dust of people he doesnt like. how calming and tranquil this is as he puts a mini bridge and rocks and tiny tree into the garden filled with what's basically the human equivalent of blood!

how do y'all think Alicent + the Green kids would react to seeing their little selves. like if they saw them in some life like, vaguely magical, dream.

Alicent seeing herself prior to queen Aemma's death, or perhaps right after, right before she stopped being a child, and was terrified as to what was to come, feeling in her gut something bad was going to happen. would she hold her like she had Dyana? trying so badly to protect her, to keep her safe, while knowing she didn't have the power to do so, that it was pointless. Would she tell her it wasn't her fault, that she was sorry she had to go through so much pain, that she didn't deserve it?

Aegon seeing a little boy who had yet to do anything wrong, who had yet to be labeled bad or a disappointment, who was still under the illusion that he was loved unconditionally. what would he feel towards this naive and innocent little boy? would he hug him? would he cry? what would he say when this little boy who was still good and kind enough to ask him why he was upset and clumsily wipe away his tears? would he hold him like he struggles to do with his own children, pulling him a little too close and squeezing a little too tight? would he whisper to him that he was loved, that even when she was tough on him, their mother loved him so much? would he warn him, to tell him to be a better brother, to drink less?

what would Aemond do when he saw himself unmaimed? what would he do when he saw himself made meek and small by the bullying he faced. would he offer him advice? would he tell him it gets better? would he hug the boy to his side? or would he feel disgusted looking at himself, a version of himself he just wants to forget? would he walk away from him, rejecting himself because he cannot bear to remember being that pathetic.

what would Helaena do if she saw her little self, so innocent, too young to understand the weight of her dreams and prophecies? would she listen to her, because her words often fell on deaf ears? would she share he knowledge so her younger self did not feel so alone in her interests? would she comfort her in the ways she craved to be comforted but no one ever understood her needs when she was young? would she warn her about the future, or allow her to be content in her ways? would she tell her that Mother tries very hard, she just doesn't understand, and that it doesn't mean she loves her any less?

when i woke up today i was not excpecting to hear a graphic description of how Cat got impragnated but here we are, at least he seems happy, but did i need to hear that

None of u understand how funny emunene is… emu going I’m going to follow you forever and ever you’re so amazing nene chan you’re so pretty and talented let’s hang out all the time & nene going I just don’t think she likes me that way 😔 she’s just being friendly. Also objectively nene realizing she has the same level of denseness as tsukasa wrt rui is hysterical. she goes thru all the stages of grief in a week and contemplates telling nenerobo to kill tsukasa so she doesn’t have to think about it ever again.

maybe like four blogs ago i wrote the most insane book-focused meta about will as john the baptist and starling as a sacrificial christ figure who becomes one with god in a way john cannot and is absorbed in the process of her apotheosis—but the point is the story is about her and will’s only the forerunner, the prologue. like, i love hannibal the show and will graham is my favorite unhinged wet dog, but i’m still a little bitter starling’s story was dissected and given predominately to a male character instead of fuller just coming up with something unique for will and hannibal.

what’s most interesting to me about them has always been will’s fundamental inability to handle the work that he was asked to do and that everyone knew this but they kept asking because he’s so Special—whereas starling could handle it, being clever and hard-working and exceptional at compartmentalization, but was never allowed to do so because she wouldn’t compromise herself to get ahead. it’s stings because gender is precisely why they ended up where they did; the horror and violence of gender is so thematically significant and inextricable to the series for me. will caught hannibal almost by accident in the books. hannibal caught starling not by devising a trap for her or gaslighting her (that came later) but simply because the systemic misogyny she faced pushed her out of her career and her life, and her contempt for the corruption of system grew and grew and crystallized inside her until she was forced to make a choice—shoot the dirty cop or let hannibal be eaten by the pigs—and in making it she revealed the truth of herself: that she believed she was above the law, above the broken system, above the men who uphold it. that choice drove her straight to hannibal. he didn’t have to do anything at all to isolate her. she came for him; he just had to wait.

This is technically a Diana's age poll but I framed it partially around Julia's rescue because that's the event I need to contextualize and whether or not Diana is a thing yet is p important for my purposes. I would keep the Pérez run and postcrisis continuity in mind when answering this bc that's when this is relevant but I'd keep in mind that even though Diana is very young there (like early 20s) we don't know I don't think if she ages differently as a child (esp as a themysciran AND being made from clay) and in some versions she is older than she looks and was made earlier

Edit: I accidentally logic-ed this out in the tags lol 🤦‍♀️but feel free to still vote however you want. Going to publish this anyway bc I think I made some good points later in my tags

I don't not mean this offensively at all but is blows my mind that you are a lawyer but also writing jjk fics bc I work at a law firm and cannot for the life of me imagine any of the lawyers that work there writing fanfiction LOL kudos to u seriously I know how busy schedues can get due to court dates haha

im working in like. big city criminal law stuff right now and have been told by people in my office that i come off as a very deadpan and straight-laced legal nerd so i don't think the people who know me from my attorney life are imagining me writing jjk fanfic in my free time either
