there's something so interesting about the way anaris' mind control mask doesn't work by him exerting his will on people directly or even by taking their own will away in any way; he dominates by demanding -- no no, not demanding, requesting, offering 🥺 as a gracious gift -- that his followers take on his emotions as a show of devotion, at the same time that he frames it as a mark of his favour and closeness. there's something so evocative of a certain and very precise kind of emotional abuse/manipulation there that I can't really put into words otherwise. the mask may be heightened fantasy nonsense, but the underlying 'if you really loved me you'd feel as I feel and be willing to take on all my pain so you would understand me, you wouldn't protest me vomiting all my emotions into you indiscriminately at all times' logic is... very recognizable and mundanely, viscerally icky. he bludgeons his followers with his own uncontrolled fear and pain until they all flinch with him, and then he tells them they're special for being able to accept this higher understanding (and inversely they're a disappointment and revealing their unworthiness and weakness if they want to take the mask off and breathe without 24/7 anaris angst getting piped into their neurons). the whole questline of course gestures at dealing with a family member joining a cult or extremist group lead by a charismatic figure, but within that I find the metaphor they build into the mask a really interesting angle to take on that.

Ryoko Kui saying that modern day Laios would be a minimum wage retail worker... she gets it. I'm so thankful. Laios, king of being bad at job interviews. Do you think that man would be on LinkedIn networking? No! He's very smart and capable, we know that, but he would NOT be good at selling himself in today's job market. I love him. I relate to him so bad!

I love hitting characters with the trans beam but I love it even more when the implications of that are 10 times funnier than their presumed cis identities. EXHIBIT A: Richard “Dick” Grayson.

Dick, filing his legal documents with Bruce: okay you’re gonna scratch that name and write down “Richard”. But everyone will call me Dick

Bruce: …are you sure about that

Dick: did I stutter

Bruce: it’s a… really outdated name chum the kids at school aren’t gonna be nice about it

Dick: I. don’t. Care. Are you gonna write that down or should I go do the paperwork with the WE lawyers tomorrow?

Bruce: okay okay fine… if that’s what makes you happy…

Dick: this is gonna be the funniest thing I have ever done in my life

i am unironically obsessed with adam west batman not only trying to be a good dad to robin, but actually succeeding. also love robin's insane energy levels and his ability to go from seething bloodlust to manic glee in record time. i think any superman worth his S would fit right into the family ^_^

loveee the thought of zuko as fire lord making his first diplomatic visit to the SWT and sokka taking FULL advantage of his and zuko’s friendship status to mortify his fellow council members and the general population of the south pole, as well as the fire lord himself.

like zuko will be chatting with some council members and sokka comes up and just starts roasting the fuck out of him. just saying shit like “who let you off the boat in THOSE shoes” to get a reaction out of the council members, who are making giant eyes at him like this is a professional visit where the fuck is your father to restrain you?!!!?

bato would be having an awkward conversation with zuko about resource allotments for the rebuilding effort and sokka needlessly throws in “did you know zuko sings to himself when he’s alone? he’s pretty good. give him a demo, zuko, come on,” and zuko’s grimacing because it was one fucking time sweet spirits sokka and bato is giving sokka the most embarrassed look of his life

sokka throws snowballs at zuko in the middle of the village and zuko falls over four consecutive times as a result.

for all his outward expressions of aggravation, it eventually becomes apparent to everyone that zuko isn’t too bothered by the teasing and sokka doesn’t mean anything by it, because every night they sit at the water’s edge and joke for hours.
