helloo, I don’t want to be a bother, but could you maybe tag your posts with like spider or insect or something so my anti arachnophobia blocked tags work? thank you 💕

my bad, i thought tumblr would recognize that the original post had been tagged properly and i wouldn't need to re-tag it. all those posts now have proper tags :)

Kenku are described as , "feathered folk who resemble ravens" they are very observant and have scarily accurate memories. Despite this they don't remember the origin of the first kenku. I think the most common origin story is that they're haunted by an ancient crime that forced their God to abandon them and take their wings with him. It's often said that heleft because they betrayed him.

They have the skil, Expert Duplication which allows them to copy handiwork and writing produces by themselves or someone else. I'm game play they have advantage on the roll to get it exact.

They also have Mimicry. They can accurately mimic sounds they have heard before, but they cannot make their own strings of speech. Most talk through code which varies from kenku to kenku. A dags bark to one could mean "attack" but could mean "retreat" to another

They usuaku wear rags are are hardly trusted. Crime organizations often use then for their expert duplication skill to forge documents. They're also known to be avid Liars and often only look our for themselves. They are rarely trusted.

Copycat User and Mimicry?! Sounds like a sharingan owner to me.

Just to let you know, the word ‘Jap’ has a negative connotation in English and was used as a way to dehumanize Japanese people around the time of the Second World War. I saw you put it on the post about English dub Doffy. I see you’re European, so I wanted to let you know.

I 100% get you just shortened Japanese to Jap, but especially talking about the English language, that may come across offensively to some. This isn’t criticism and I know what you mean, but I wanted to make you aware. Keep making more Doffy posts, I love them!

HOLY FUCK, I DID NOT KNOW THAT.😱 Yes, I used it as a shortened term, I had no idea in English it has negative connotations - why, English, why would you do that, that is so not cool, wtf - will fix that up! Thank you so much for letting me know, anon! Fixing it ASAP.

Update: After a google (I wanted to know who made that abbreviation a slur), and unfortunately it was America that made it an offensive slur in WW2, as you said. I'm not American, so I had no idea. In Europe, it's a shortened term for Japan as a country & Japanese as a language.

Apologies. 🙇🏻 I was not aware of this. I'm so sorry, I meant no offense with it. I'll write Japanese from now on 🫡

Will make more Doffy posts! 🫡 And again, thank you for letting me know. Fuck. I'm gonna go fix that!

Thank you, anon, for letting me know.

Does he? 🤯 I think I need to rewatch the episode cause I don't remember that at all. Of course Chandler would know something like that, though.

Bad news about de la Cruz, PSL is absolutely pro-Assad (called the ICC a “fake court” bc they brought chemical weapons charges) and pro-Putin… they deadass co-opted a pro-Palestine teach-in in my city to talk about how the invasion of Ukraine was justified. Also they’ve shielded rapists in their own party repeatedly.

WOW WELL. OKAY💀 dude like ik theoretically why leftist spaces are infested with these types but it still makes me want to bash my head against a fucking wall omfggg i despise tankies w every fiber of my being

You are everything I aspire to be

If parenting has taught me anything, it is the importance of getting down on your hands and knees and teaching not just facts, but love and enthusiasm for the natural world.

This is my son Q and me. I have dozens of photos like this by now, even though he is just two years old.

Every chance I get, I will kneel down with him and show him the little creatures all around us. Especially when they are frogs. He loves frogs for some reason. No idea why.

It is important that we all see this together. It is beautiful. It is magnificent. We are here. It is improbable to the highest degree. It is fleeting, but it is everything we get. And we can get so, so much of it. If we just get our faces into it and really absorb it.

So that's what l'm trying to do here, I guess. Get all of you to join me in the reeds. And I am so happy to have so many of you along for the journey.

Incorrect, the fact that Biden has dropped out and a candidate with history of supporting medicare for all and being more receptive to a ceasefire in the I/P conflict has made me go from "I cannot morally support the Democratic nominee" to "I am voting for the Democratic nominee despite the fact she isn't perfect in every respect." I'm really happy this played out. The Dems for the most part abandoned the old Obama platform and it feels like its possible an actual progressive agenda could come to pass in my lifetime.

Kamala 2024!

If you weren't going to vote Democratic in this election before Biden dropped out you're a dorkass loser who does not care about any of the issues you're yammering about here and also a fundamentally bad person, and I hope you get run over by a bus.

But you got one thing right in all of this gibberish, Kamala 2024.

your dogs have awakened something in me and made me realize I'm bi

I'm putting this in my resume 📝

[muffinlance]

prompt: Ozai has Azula watch Zuko (his progress or rather lack thereof) from way earlier on, possibly even before Aang gets away from the iceberg in the first place

There it is, written at the bottom of his banishment notice, wobbling in and out of his vision and he’s not sure if it's his eyes—

(Father wouldn’t have meant to blind him. Being blind won't help him catch the Avatar, so he’ll just not go blind.)

It’s either his eyes, or. Or the rage. It has to be the rage.

So Zuko reads the line again, and lets the fire brim up and overflow, until sparks chase the shout from his lips.

“Banishment to be overseen by Crown Princess Azula?”

- - -

“Prince Zuko,” Azula says, standing as tall as an eleven year old can. She’s using his title, so that he’ll use hers. And if he doesn’t then he’s ill-mannered and not fit for his own. 

“Crown Princess Azula,” Zuko grits out.

“I’ll just be inspecting your ship, then. Father’s orders.”

Two men are in shackles by the time she’s done. 

“—Fostering mutiny against your prince,” she is yelling, and somehow her voice is just as high-pitched as his without sounding childish at all. “When our father hears about this—”

- - -

“So you had them executed,” Fire Lord Ozai inquires. Lightly. And from behind his flames.

“Of course, father,” says the kneeling child. “It was an attack on our family.”

Her father doesn’t say anything.

Azula is eleven. Eleven, she had presumed, was old enough to count. 

One, two, three. Four, with Uncle. The royal family.

Her father is silent still.

One. Two.

“Forgive my impertinence, Fire Lord,” she says. “I will bring them to you for judgment next time.”

“Do so,” Fire Lord Ozai says. He does not contest the ‘next time.’

- - -

“Crown Princess Azula,” Zuko says.

“Your bandage is off, brother,” Azula says. “Are you blind?”

“No.”

(The blur of her red robes, the eye-searing glint of sunlight off her headpiece—he’s not blind in that eye. He’s just… still recovering.)

“Lovely,” she says. “Then what’s your excuse for the condition of this ship?”

…He has an increased budget for repairs, by the time she’s done. 

- - -

“Brother,” Azula says, “traditionally knives are to be delivered to the back.”

“I… what?” her brother says, still holding out the inexplicable thing. “No, I bought it at port. For you. See, it matches the one Uncle got me.”

“How original,” she says.

Her brother turns a shade of red that puts his bending to shame. Not that it’s a particularly high bar. “Fine, I’ll just—throw it out.”

“Oh, don’t be so dramatic. At the least, Mai will want it.”

- - -

“Nice knife,” says Mai, looking at the hilt peeking out of Azula’s boot.

“Be silent,” Azula says, thus ending that conversation.

- - -

“Did great-grandfather… did we…” starts her brother, fresh from scurrying about the Eastern Air Temple like some particularly dim-witted pheasant-monkey, the dust not even brushed from his clothes even though he knew her ship was waiting down here. “Azula, there were children—”

“Be silent,” she says.

- - -

“You’re leaving frequently,” comments father, as his knife cuts through the pheasant-monkey, clicking against the plate below. The persimmon-cherry sauce is thick and red and smearing.  

“I find it advantageous to cultivate a working knowledge of our nation’s tactics,” Azula answers. She does not push around her meat like a child, but she does eat only lightly; the dish is more sour than she remembers.

“And your brother?”

“Oh, him,” she says, to which her father smiles.

- - -

“...What?” Zuko asks, blinking down at the scrolls. 

“It’s your birthday,” Azula says. “Apparently, I should have gotten you a calendar.”

“Thank you?”

She sighs.

- - -

“Do we… tell him we can hear him?” asks the assistant cook, as the prince continues monologuing. Dramatically, and loudly. Through the pipe connecting the drain of the kitchen sink to the ones in the shower. 

“Ssh, I think this is one of his new plays.”

- - -

She gets him a calendar for his next birthday. It’s not funny.

- - -

He gets her a doll, for hers. The look on Uncle’s face as she torches it in front of them both is hilarious.

- - -

“Brother,” she says, looking up at the damage to his ship. “This is not the way to requisition additional repair funds.”

“Captain Zhao,” her uncle says in the background, with heights of pleasant antagonism she can only aspire to. As if a general could mistake Zhao’s new insignia. Particularly with all the polishing he does. 

“It’s commander now.”

“How did you manage this?” she asks.

“Uh,” Zuko says. “Can we… speak alone?”

She eyes her brother’s shifting stance. Eyes, too, the way Zhao’s men are already moving to intercept and interrogate his crew. One of the new commander’s more noxious habits is stalking her brother’s every move. 

Well. She’d been meaning to deal with that, anyway.

Azula snaps her fingers at the commander’s guards.

“Detain him,” she says. And for a moment, just a moment, her dear uncle freezes, as if she were talking about someone he actually cared for.

The guards don’t. She’s trained them better than that.

“Princess,” Commander Zhao says, his snarl well hidden behind a smile. “What is the meaning of this?”

“Crown Princess Azula,” she corrects. “Now hush; the adults are talking.”

- - -

They have an Avatar to catch, apparently. Her brother is coming home.
