Book 2 au: sparring sessions and short hair katara

They like to have sparring sessions in order to keep their bending skills sharp. They allow themselves to go all out and not hold back at all cause they know if anyone got hurt, Katara could just heal them

But anyways, wouldn't it be kinda funny if Zuko accidentally burned Katara's hair tho? Aofkqldkkajfjd

The "I think we can save the hairloops" line is from @linnoya-writes thank you for that!! :>>

#zutara #zuko #katara #atla #book 2 au #my art #i mentioned in my last book 2 au post that i wanted to include short hair katara into it and y'all were so supportive of it!! 😭😭😭#so this is how i think it would go #it would happen as katara is trying to evade one of zuko's fire balls #she manages to avoid it but since her hair is long it still caught on fire #she'd be pissed so she water whips the hell out of zuko #and then promptly forgets about it akfhkakdkakdj #even after the sparring session she still hasn't remembered cause 'oh no zuko's in pain i have to help him!'#it isn't until zuko even mentions it that she remembers #zuko thinks she's more calm than i thought she would be after burning her hair so he mentions it to her #little did he know katara just forgor aldjlakdkaljd #n e ways zuko does feel bad so she offers to help fix it up for her #i think after the haircut katara would find herself looking in mirrors when there are any around cause 'zuko thinks i'm beautiful?? really?#zuko doesn't know this tho and he thinks katara is till sad about the unwanted haircut so he keeps telling her that she looks beautiful #and katara just keeps losing it aldjlakdlald #in conclusion they are idiots your honor

Rules: Make a poll with five of your all-time favorite characters and then tag five people to do the same. See which character is everyone's favorite!

I was tagged by @suddenrundown, thanks for the tag! I was so tempted to put "eliot's baseball hair" but I resisted (also polls don't allow strikethroughs. sad). tagging @michinaranja, @vero-niche, @acidmatze and anyone else who wants to play!

#does bulbasaur truly count as a character? irrelevant. he is my boy i can't not include him #and judge me all you like for vriska but she's been a favorite character of mine for over a decade now #she means so so much to me. my horrible problematic daughter with so many problems and crimes to her name and also a spider theme #what more could i want! i'm kinda sad i don't talk about her as much anymore but she's always there. in the corner of my brain #anyways i know i don't talk about the apothecary diaries as much either but this is a formal recommendation to everyone to go watch it #it's literally about an aroace with drug autism. i feel so seen #i tried to get a decent spread of characters so honorable mention to tsukishima haikyuu and mithrun dungeonmeshi #who got cut so this list wasn't all anime because i don't talk about them much despite the brainworms sldkjfsl #i also kept it to just one character per media cause it made it easier to keep myself to just five lsdkjfslf #otherwise it would be half the cast of trigun and half the cast of leverage and-

I appreciate that filmmakers repeatedly find ways to attach Peter Lorre's characters very closely to characters that are noticably taller and/or ganglier than he is. Whether they have romantic tension or just seem like they're great friends/colleagues, there's a sort of bonded pair [or trio] vibe they give off that I live for.

Shavuli !

She's just. Into rocks. It's fine. She likes to collect shiny rocks. (this is dice related and I am not apologizing for giving her this trait)

#my characters #not me being anxious about what if my buddy doesnt like the blue fae hahahahaha #also you have to realize that it took a lot of energy to refrain from drawing absolutely wild shit bc i played 20mins of an otome #and it was wild and my brand of wild and if i didnt take so much to help me sleep last night i woulda played more #one person got the play by play and its SUCH A trip and i should play more than 20 minutes before drawing for it #but anyway hello this is an oc and i tried so hard with various colors other than yellow but i didnt like the contrast as much #so yellow splashes as a treat #also she is much more rounded bc she isnt intent on being the edgiest fae alive (noll has those honors)#also since i mentioned it while i started doodling her on stream ? its worth noting that the games the fae start #are like extreme tag where they get a human partner roped into their game and then give the humans a nice lil present #which is a weapon but its also the fae themselves #and are like yeah lets go kick butt! and someone in the stream asked if the humans got hurt #and the answer is no ! because the weapons are the fae and the fae dont wanna be hurt so as long as they have fun thats enough #its just an elaborate game of tag with weapons #shavuli becomes a lance if anyone is interested and thats not actually inspired by my buddy i just #think lances are cool and i think my buddy is cool so yeah

lesbian masterdoc and the unforgivable damage of making people hear compulsory heterosexuality and think of "can lesbians have crushes on men?" (no) instead of "are heterosexual women settling in unhappy marriages with men bellow their worth because of economic and social pressure?" (yes)

#not claiming the theory was without flaws but it sure didn't describe some virus mental affliction that exclusively plagues lesbians #for starters the theory was primarily about marriage. so it did recognise the historical fact of lesbians forced into marriage to avoid #honor killings and the still present possibility and threats especially when it comes to cults and strong religions #(once again mentioning as a Jeová's witness in a brazilian periphery my girlfriend accepted the tool of losing her entire family and social #circles to reject an arranged marriage at the age of 17. and she's bisexual. but THAT is what compulsory heterosexuality alludes to)#but more often than not when it addressed lesbians it was as the inherent threat they pose to heteropatriarchy #that they mere existence proved women were not all born to serve men. and that their lives often proved women are much happier and #accomplished when away from the burden of men.#and this acknowledging just how much loneliness was a reality through lesbian's experiences #at the same time I can understand the frustration of that feminist theory being reduced to 'comphet is when lesbians in high school were #pressured into picking one of the Backstreet Boys to lie about finding attractive'. and even more so when that non universal and much less #serious example somehow morphed into 'comphet is when bisexual women either lying or confused about being lesbians have sex with men and #find it unfulfilling' because accepting that narrative erases and harms lesbians #so I understand the 'comphet isn't real' posts especially because written like that it tends to refer to lesbian masterdoc and following #fiasco. but at the same time that wasn't the original intent of compulsory heterosexuality the actual feminist term #this is just me complaining about how social media butchers theory tho unless they are specifically naming Rich and the many other feminist #who wrote about heterosexual marriage as an institution I won't bother lesbians for venting frustration about neoliberal erasure of lesbian #the original theory sure didn't claim lesbians were immune to all this misogynistic violence but the term was never exclusively about them #and tended to ask more of 'where do we stand as women and feminists as a group much more interested in destroying heterosexual marriage than #simply making it more bearable?'#this got a little messy and senseless I'm tired #.txt

making a list of my favorite quote/ones that stuck with me from each season 1 episode because i feel like it

(i'm starting this after episode 4 but it will be a WHILE before i post it)

episode 1: "bones are a lie peddled by Big Milk" - alice

i love this one because it's a great introduction to alice i think. also it radiates spiral so i hope we get avatar alice not dead alice (isnt there a podcast called alice isnt dead?)

episode 2: "If I wanted to clear the canvas, I would have used turpentine." - statement

this one was just fucking powerful and caught me so off guard like 😶

episode 3: "What would I do without her?" - statement

the norris statement <3 it feels like martin asking what he would do without jon which makes mag200 a lot sadder and i love them

episode 4: "Perhaps you shall prove a stronger will than I, and will yet find it within yourself to destroy this hungry thing of wood and cat-gut." - statement

augustus sighting #1 and we immediately get jonah magnus expressing that it may be possible for gwen bouchard unknown family member to overcome the eye's hunger spooky violin

episode 5: "Voyeur needs to be seen to be believed." - statement

i feel like this one is pretty reflective of how the seasons gonna go? like if you explain the events of tma (mag200 specifically) no one's gonna believe you, it must be seen to be believed!! and also seen!! like the eye!!!

episode 6: "Not sca- This isn’t some poxy blood test, some little pinprick, this is hundreds, thousands of razor sharp points pushing into your flesh." - needles

i love needles so much and i thought this was really funny because it was like "you dont find me scary!! what the fuck!!!" just kind of toddler michael energy

episode 7: "It’s not like we’re wrestling with tape recorders and manila folders." - celia

STOP IT. celia you can't say that you just cannot!!!!!! you Know™ too much maam i cant with you

episode 8: "Pleasure to meet you both. I’m Gerry!"

RAGHHHHH OH MY GOD GERRY!!!! i love him so much and idk how to handle him being alive in the tmagp universe!! gertrude too but idk we got so much of her in tma and not nearly enough of gerry

episode 9: "And honestly, it’s kind of compelling by this point." - sam

they got him 😔😔 the horrors got sam 😔😔 also i found this to be an interesting contrast to jon's heavy resistance in season 1 like he was being compelled but he wasn't going to let anyone know that vs sam "its kinda compelling to trauma dump on this paperwork :]" how is he somehow even more victim material

episode 10: "Gosh you’re sexy, here’s a twenty for your trouble.” - alice

does this count as a quote if shes also quoting what she thinks sam should say? idk anyway i love her i would say that to her if given the chance and it was very silly. i will not be addressing bonzo i am scared.

episode 11: "...Thank you, Alice" - gwen

dyhard dyhard dyhard dyhard dyhard. okay also, the way she CRUMBLED at the idea of anyone doing anything nice for her please someone give her a hug and let it be ME. this series is tossing me back and forth between sam & alice (what is their ship name) and dyhard but this put me back to dyhard

episode 12: "You know it's rude to have absolutely no game?" - alice

she's so fucking funny i need her to be okay so badly!!!! i don't think even tim made me laugh as much as she makes me chuckle and this one really got me. it's hard to write such a comedic character in a podcast since you only have the voice but they really nailed it i adore her

episode 13: "Is it my fault?" - gwen

each of these episodes just reveal a little bit more about how loving and soft gwen is and idk i love her so unbelievably much so seeing that she felt guilt about the bonzo stuff just made her so much more real :(

episode 14: "Christ, they’re in the walls…" - statement

theyre in the walls!!! theyre in the goddamn walls!!!!! anyway that got me because i realized the hole before the statement said it. made more sad than scared tbh

episode 15: "Babies are cool!" - alice this entire interaction between her and sam & celia was so awkward, she is so obvious and i love her anyway

episode 16: "It’s not like I was holding doors open for Mr Bonzo or anything." - gwen my wife is so so so stupid but i adore her AND this gives room for character development. i wish she did not do that though. i love when characters are flawed and have depth but i struggled to get past THIS flaw of hers

episode 17: "Thanks, I guess. Not exactly the same, though, is it?" - celia shes talking TO JON IN THE COMPUTER. SHE KNOWS. i lost my damn mind i love her i love her. get the gay people out of the puter please queen

episode 18: "Why would I need to talk to you? Your work is satisfactory. Unless you have a work-related issue I could assist you with?" - lena solidified my opinion that lena is the best boss to ever have, i adore her and i would want to work for her if she wasn't the boss of Creepy Establishment #1

episode 19: "You’re going to throw it in the fishtank, aren’t you?" - alice colin's behavior is like really worrying BUT i'm glad he's back. i was not convinced he was still alive

episode 20: "I suppose it’s too late for remorse, isn’t it? And why should I be sorry? This is what I deserve!" - ink5oul/statement they reminded me of jon a lot, like especially his season 3/4 transformation when he doesn't quite know everything but he knows he isn't who he was in season 1 anymore, i hope we see more of their life and they can be helped :(

episode 21: [Tape Recorder Bites Ink5oul] - audio description i know it's not technically a quote but this is just so fucking funny. why does it have teeth. what does this mean for the lore. holy shit.

episode 22: "Jonathan Sims and Martin Blackwood" - celia. knawing at the walls of my enclosure i am so not okay. i'm not okay. wtf. wtf. wtf. they're real. wtf.

episode 23: "I had a favorite mug. It said “love you, bitch” and had a picture of a drunk dog on it." - alice. okay i just love this entire interaction because gwen got to open up a little bit and my dyhard heart is so full

episode 24: "I am told that children like me, and I’ve always held the opinion that the world would be a better place if everyone just thought more." - basira. once again this whole interaction was so fun but like idk i loved hearing basira somewhat happy and in a safe place :] my wife <3

episode 25: " I am trying to help, to save us from this goddamned fucking nightmare machine!" - colin. MAN I REALLY WAS ROOTING FOR YOU!!! I WAS SO CONFIDENT YOU WEREN'T GONNA DIE!!!! it's over

episode 26: "I was worrying for a moment that you were Magnussing." - alice. MAGNUSSING BEING CANON MADE ME SAY IT EVEN MORE I'VE SAID IT LIKE TWICE ALREADY

episode 27: "You didn’t tell me the room was labelled, “Archivist.”" - celia. oooooh somebody's got TRAUMAAAAA LMAO

episode 28: "So you’re telling me you know nothing about an OIAR external contract being found with the bodies of two tattooed thugs who met rather grisly ends?" - TREVOR HERBERT???? anyway. ink5oul mention!!!!! i hope they stop killing people it's really rude

episode 29: "Alice, er… we’ve got to talk. It’s important." - teddy. i knew it was over for him but i didn't think it was gonna be THIS bad??? bye babe i guess??? 😭

episode 30: how do i even pick. the whole fucking episode. i can't. i am in a state of shock. i need to lay down for 30 years.

#honorable mentions:#“canaries should stay above ground” because holy shit (1)#“i don’t scare so easy these days” because oh my god its our celia (7)#“i like them”/“of course you do” because weeping weeping weeping (8)#“oh no not again! oh the horrors! nooooo” that one was just really funny and not exactly part of the episode (9)#“can he read?” (10) bc it enforces the gwen/jon parallels (“you dont sound?? russian??”)#“the deep will care for his bones” (11) it creeped me out and i loved it #“the cover had this awful comic sans title 'mr. bonzo's on his way'” (12) comic sans font was so funny it almost made it not horrific #“I have a baby.

As a sophont in need of fics i can relate extra hard to i need more pov characters that get wings and feathers. I need a scene where an affini preens their pet's wings. I need to know how walks for flight capable sophonts work. If a bidepal winged sophont wore a collar would it be on their neck or their ankle like they tag birds? If I had the capacity to sit and write them myself I would oh stars I would

#hdg #human domestication guide #Righteous Halo; Abject Angel and Flotsam Heart are the best ones I've found so far but Flotsam Heart's kinks aren't up my alley #On wings of Misfortune she flies is am honorable mention bc there's a ton of characters with bird codenames and theming #but it's not quite what I'm looking for

Follow the Wind II (Kazuha)

Of the Same Coin (Mika)

Songs of the Wind (Venti)

Nothing Lasts Forever (Yae Miko)

#about me #it actually is a coincidence that majority are from different characters and not the same #so in like manner as another list i gave a while back i shall give fun facts about each #tipsy tales - one day i will update the post to include wanderer and will not tell anyone or reblog it #symbiosis - one of my favorite readers. i just like the way they speak. i dont have a full story planned for them as of yet #what destiny has brought - in truth i cannot stand fischl. she annoys me. i only wrote this bc i wanted her to stop being so delusional #hello how are you - tbh i only like this bc i think i absolutely nailed the voice and characterization. one day i will write a sequel #follow the wind ii - probably my all time favorite work. features one of the few kisses i have ever written.#(cont) but it cant be understood without reading the first chapter and my thoughts on kazuha as a character #of the same coin - i'll be honest i just think this is cute. i think this fic has one of my highest reblog to notes ratios #songs of the wind - the vibes are good with this one. like the first chapter has good vibes but this chapter is even better. very warm #nothing lasts forever - i wanted to write yae in a moment of weakness. i think i did a good job #sharing a drink they call loneliness - the amateurness of the writing now makes me wince but.... the catharsis and ending is still top notch #(cont) i had a point i wanted to make with this fic and smashed it out of the ballpark #of hopes and dreams - probably the most romantic fic in the series and its a deleted scene lmao. still like how i wrote it though #i forgot to say that these arent necessarily my best written fics #they're just the fics i personally like the best #honorable mentions are:#telling them off (ayato)#completely covered in red (ayato)#simple (alhaitham)#follow the wind i (another one i completely nailed the voice and characterization for in my humble opinion)#secret identities and whatnot (venti/xiao)#indulgence (wriothesley)#slitherer-outer (zhongli)#i know i'm kinda feeling myself in this post but nobody is gonna read it anyway except for u slo so i'm fine with that <3

I feel deeply feral watching this 1v1. Like deeply feral. Here are my thoughts, enjoy.

First of all, Sonnett looks hot and very much so like The Boy. Secondly, Kelley also looks hot and is in her boyfriend Sonny’s kith jersey so there’s that. Em also looks so much larger somehow which is always jarring to me. And both of their voices…

Also do they have fucking matching bracelets on?? (Hi this was confirmed at the very end they bought these right before filming I have so many questions why why why)

My scrawny (secret strong) lovers. Kiss for the love of god.

“I love that.” “Cool, learned it from you.” 💀🚂

“AND THAT’S HERSTORY” god help us this is one of our most tenured players

I see so much of Kelley in Sonnett and that is so incredible/emotional/sad/joyful. I love them both so much.

The fucking speed wordle aside at the end. Nerds.

#honorable mention: Kelley sitting so she’s not facing the sun making Sonnett squint the whole time #they’re so serious and unserious #somebody sedate me #the rose one will just be giggling #broad shoulders make my brain go brrrrrrrrrrrrr #Sonny baby I will help you pack #Kelley immediately asking for clothing is deeply funny to me

📨 Random simblr question (for the ts3 simmers) of the day: Who's your favorite premade sim?

Since I've been playing in Bridgeport alot... LILLY BO CHIQUE!

I know her EA default is need of some work but I did the work for them anyway so she's amazing. Obviously I don't like her living conditions because she deserves better than Beau Merrick (they all do) but she is into her own fashion and it's fun to dress her up because she believes she is unique and doesn't go with the trends. She also has dreams of being a Director and I think she would be amazing in it. I just enjoy seeing her in my town because let's be honest, EA Default or not, she grabs your attention.

#ask #honorable mentions are matthew hamming and elvira slayer #i mean 5 star heartthrob matty and queen of all vampires in my game elvira #i have a soft spot for lilly so shes my fave #imma be honest i like bridgeport townies > sunset valley ones. more memorable to me

Since it's not going in my article due to space constraints, i'll share a bit about Jane Manning James here. It won't be superfleshed out atm bc it got cut. I plan to do more later. As I am *Reorganized*, writing this for a Community of Christ publication, i researched Ld-S shared history to the point of Nauvoo. my article doesn't follow west (technically). the main resource was an LDS one (thank you v much for your freely available archive) asking about her time with the prophet of the Restoration.

Jane Manning James

A significant Black Latter Day Saint from the early church was Jane Manning James. A woman from Connecticut notably made the walk from Buffalo, New York to Nauvoo, Illinois on foot, with most of her family. This was only after being separated from the group of recently converted latter day saints in Buffalo, possibly due to their race. Jane was baptized in 1842 by missionaries in her home state of Connecticut. She recorded these things about her journey and arrival to Nauvoo and her faith when asked to recall her life living with Joseph Smith in 1905.

“When I went there [Nauvoo] I only had two things on me, no shoes nor stockings, wore them all out on the road… They [Joseph and Emma] was looking for us because I wrote them a letter. There was eight of us, my mother and two sisters and a brother and sister-in-law, and we had two children, one they had to carry all the way there, and we traveled a thousand miles.”

She was sure in her belief of the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ and Modern Prophecy. She says in her recollection, after seeing that Joseph Smith Jr was indeed the man in her vision in Connecticut, that “This is the Gospel of Jesus Christ and there will never be any other on earth. It has come to stay.” Sister James would later go west with the saints under the leadership of then Apostle Brigham Young.

--------

me tumblr posting again:

thank you for the example set Sister James on faith, dedication, and perseverance. She also had spiritual gifts, such as speaking in tongue and faith healing. She believed following the gospel, knowing it was a key to a better way of living life (for her.) it wasn't easy for her, and yet, i think the faith community i observe today (and mormonism in general) is better, just for her having lived it.

may she be at peace, and in a manner God, Sister Jane herself, and her family she led that meant so very much to her, see fit.

#the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints #latter day saint #afrostake #tumblrstake #mormon #mormon history #mormonism #religion #they dont mention anything about sealing bc we don't have it #most reorg saints don't know it exists nor that it was ever practiced #its simply assumed that will be the case. that your family will be there (and that there will be work to be done)#so i say it is unlikely that Sis Jane is actually eternally sealed to the Smiths as a servant bc God is no respecter of persons #who even said that Joseph is in the CK. he could be in the Telestial Kingdom rn as we speak. depending on how time / resurrection day works #Jane may be in the CK maybe having a sisterly relationship with Emma if that's how the afterlife works #i also don't believe the kingdoms are permanent. as a side note. if Joseph Jr ain't there i think he can be in God's time.#and josephites (reorganized saints) don't have a way to report card which kingdom they'll go too #and nobody talks about it bc its the afterlife and community of christ doesnt focus (or sometimes doesn't even care) about the afterlife #i've heard it talked about in depths twice and in general maybe 4-5 times. know a brother i meet with weekly who is newly widowerd #no one seems to think the work is over and that we well still be working and progressing in our faith helping others progress after death #that one is cultural - may come from common unwritten- early lds belief since L-dSaints have a new direction and more developed idea of thi #but for the sake of all sakes #can they not reseal her?#certainly a prophet could - listening to Gods call of liberation - see the symbolism and cultural moment that could be #or does post mortem sealing go off the rails? i don't go here. its often sweet and i think harmful in some ways too. JS Jr would Just Do It #but alas - i dont think emma should be involved with any of that. she wouldn’t want to do anymore sealing #i just think if you can do a baptism after death why not a sealing. but doing one would perhaps open a floodgate?#but perhaps its time for those many church generation Black families to be able to have that with they're bygone relatives #once i gave a mourning period & lively death procession & lively dance celebration on the alantic coast to #to honor all my ancestors/ predecessors who were killed and thrown into the sea or would rather die than be enslaved and jumped #danced in the same ocean they died in and dumped (state park approved) flowers into the sea
