“Come with me, Reg. Please?” Sirius knows Regulus’ answer, but asks again anyways.

I hope you settle down, I hope you marry rich

Regulus sighs and shakes his head. “You know I can’t.”

I hope you’re scared of all the ordinary shit

Tears leaking out of his eyes, Sirius pulls his brother into a hug. “Stay safe. You know where to find me if you ever need me.”

Like murderers and ghosts and cancer on your skin

Regulus nods, and Sirius gives him one last glance over before picking up his bags and slipping out the front door.

And not your soul and what He might do with it

It’s not until Sirius is long gone and Regulus is alone in his room that he finally lets the tears fall.

Ready for a hot NATLA take?

The live-action DID include an adaptation of The Great Divide episode.

Instead of Sokka identifying with the war-like, meat eating, not prim and proper tribe and thinking 'yeah, I identify with them, therefore I'm on their side and will argue they can't be wrong' he identified with Sai, the mechanist where Sokka saw reflected his desire to be more than a 'great warrior' but also to use his mind and ingenuity to help his friends - therefore he didn't want Sai to be wrong.

Instead of Katara identifying with the prim and proper, well prepared, educated and clean tribe and thinking 'yeah, I identify with them, therefore I'm on their side and will argue they can't be wrong', she identified with Jet the freedom fighter where Katara saw reflected her anger, pain and desire to fight back against the fire nation as well as create a community to help people who were harmed be healed - therefore she didn't want Jet to be wrong.

The live-action was able to take the theme and lesson from one of the most maligned episodes of the animated series and reframe it within other plot lines to make it so much more poignant and nuanced, pushing forward a lot more character development than 'Sokka is dirty and lazy, Katara is uptight and prissy'. The live-action took the lesson and actually tied it to Katara and Sokka's core character motivations that will have arcs for them rather than surface-level character traits that never really change.

Anyways, the live action adaptation of Avatar the Last Airbender is really good and y'all should watch it - or rewatch it with an open mind to why they combined/altered the story elements they did. The writers clearly understand this world and the story the OG was trying to tell.

watching that one ATLA episode with the two warring tribes and watching ATLA as a teenager is so different because Sokka says “I only sided with them because they fed me” and I don’t go ‘oh silly Sokka’ I go ‘oh shit he’ll do anything to assure himself that he’ll have another meal huh’

Ulysses: So I ask you now, Courier, in this crucible of uncertainty: Will your choice of company be the man, or do you decide to entrust your future with the bear? Courier six: What the hell are you on about?!

The Great divide by noah kahan (unreleased)

A message from Remus to Mary when she decided to obliviate herself rather live through the pain of all they had lost.

I hope you settle down, I hope you marry rich

I hope you're scared of only ordinary shit

Like murderers and ghosts and cancer on your skin

And not your soul and what He might do with it

Did you wish that I could know?

You'd fade

To some place

I wasn't brave enough to go

[atla-confessions]

The great divide is a good episode. I’m tired of seeing the slander it gets from this fandom

[mydeadgaywizards]

whatever you do, don’t imagine “the great divide” by noah kahan from remus’ pov after he finds out mary obliviated herself

[memehex]

The Great Divide may have been a silly little episode but that doesn't make it bad. Plot obsessed folk who want 8 episode seasons wouldn't get it

Appreciation post for the forgotten butch ATLA character, she doesn’t even have a canon name but honestly what an icon. Look at her. Imagine sharing a joint and a big juicy steak with her
