#this genuinely might make me cry

[hayleysayshay]

Yes, exactly! Not sure who this is for. Supposedly there were some test screening which is where all these leaks are coming from and it gets more absurd when you have one of the leakers insisting that a paramount employee said: 1) Korra deliberately destroyed the world

2) The surviving population is now afraid of the Avatar

Even if this is all a misunderstanding and Korra didn't destroy the world or she had to for some convoluted reason - the end result is still: the world is destroyed.

It just seems like there was more of an effort to build on top of the end of ATLA going into LOK (regardless of how you feel about some changes). Whereas this seems like taking a nuke to the world post LOK with a hard reset.

I know Bryke have gotten on a podcast and said some of these new projects will be more challenging for audiences than what they've previously done, but this is kinda absurd. I guess they figure they could experiment more with the LOK cast because they aren't as beloved as the ATLA cast? But even then ATLA-only fans won't like the 4 nations being destroyed.

At this point so many people have watched ATLA and LOK since it came to Netflix that I'm not quite sure what type of new audience they're trying to find.

If these leaks turn out to be tremendously wrong I'll laugh but we got people arguing about the apocalypse being a good thing.

WHAT THE FUCK

DELIBERATLEY???

Honestly, a post apocalyptic-esque Avatar series could be fun. They could just set it in the far future. Then you’d have at least a few Avatar’s post Korra and you can do this plot. Soft reset the tech boom, bring it back to basics. Could be really fun.

I have a feeling Korra will be sympathetic, but her destroying the world sounds utterly baffling as a concept

I am all for exploring the good and bad of Korra’s legacy, but this seem like an absurd plot development, and very little to do with Korra’ as a character and what she learnt during the seasons of TLOK

There’s a breadth of difference between ‘Aang in TLOK is revealed to have struggled to balance his duties as a father, the Avatar and the last Airbender so may not have been attentive to his non-bending kids’ which you may not like, but it is a small-scale interpersonal story, and ‘Korra nuked the world’

the more this show goes on the more i just genuinely don't get how people hate kant, or at the very least have no empathy for him and his situation.

kant is a man literally built of sacrifice. in so many ways he sacrificed his own life for babe's. over and over and over again. his grief for babe's. his education for babe's. his happiness for babe's safety and security. his social life in order to stay at home taking care of babe. relationships with partners who didn't take any interest in babe, or didn't want the baggage of a man with a dependent. whatever dreams or aspirations he had for himself fell to the wayside, at least temporarily, in favour of supporting babe.

he sacrificed his own freedom every time he stepped out of their house to go and steal a car - something that he so clearly isn't proud of at all - just so babe can get the education he deserves. the fact that he wasn't caught doesn't matter, he went to altar every single time, willing to be caught and slaughtered like a lamb if it meant babe was good.

and then he was finally caught, and he sacrificed himself in brand new ways just so he could stay out of prison. never mind the fact that kant might not have even gone to prison if it was his first offence and he played the system right, and even if he did it wouldn't have been for long. but that wasn't a chance he could ever take, because who would look after babe if he was gone, even for a few months? who would pay for school and make sure he ate? and so he stayed willingly under christ's thumb for god only knows how many years, playing whatever new versions of big brother he had to be, ingratiating himself with drug dealers and thieves and whatever other kinds of dangerous people christ wanted him to, getting himself onto all these people's bad side knowing it would only take one to figure him out and turn on him and put him in hospital, or worse. but that was a sacrifice he willingly made the moment he pulled his grieving baby brother into his arms and said 'i'll take care of him'.

and here it is, the ultimate sacrifice: christ tells kant to jump into the lion's den, promising that if he makes it out alive, he can have his freedom back. and what choice does kant have? if he doesn't they'll be back to square one after he worked so fucking hard for his and babe's stability. and babe's old enough now that kant can start having a life again, and kant's business is doing well, and things are finally good for them, but now this. and if he doesn't do this it will have all been for nothing. so he does it. essentially puts his life up as collateral once again the moment he walks through the door of heart burger and tries to seduce an assassin, knowing it could be taken from him in an instant if he missteps.

except it doesn't go as he planned, because bison is beautiful and bison is bright, and he's sweet and he's dangerous and kant can't help but fall for him, no matter how he tries to dig his heels in and think about the end goal: his freedom, his brother's safety. he says as much to style - style says bison has you wrapped around his finger and kant says i know. that's why i'm trying to end things quickly. and in that moment bison becomes yet another sacrifice kant makes for babe. or at least he's trying so hard to make him one. because what kant wants, he cannot have. not when there's babe to think about.

but it's so unfair. and it's so sad. like yes we all know it's unfair for bison and it'll be such a betrayal, but what about kant? what about his heart in all of this? what about him giggling at his phone screen like a teenager texting bison, only for the grin to fall the moment he remembers who he is and what he must do? what about him acknowledging that he's working so hard to hold bison at arms length but he's failing and that's why he needs this over asap? what about him having to be on all the fucking time, spewing out lie after lie after lie, and what that does that him? what about him being so fucking scared every time a gun is shoved in his face that he's fucked up in a way he can't talk himself out of and that babe will be left all alone in the world?

what about kant having this beautiful boy in his bed, who's kissing him in places he's never been kissed before and telling him that he loves his fuck ups, and that he won't come over because doesn't want to be a bad influence on babe, and that him stealing cars was not only not a shameful thing, but an admirable thing to do for someone you love? this beautiful boy who notices his brother is hurting and follows him to defend him from the people that hurt him without question? this beautiful boy who has asked for nothing but the truth, the one thing kant can never give him? this beautiful boy that kant is falling for, and he knows he is, and he knows he can't, because that's not allowed, because bison isn't his, he doesn't get to keep him. he's just another sacrifice in a long line of sacrifices kant has made for love, and yet this one... this one has claws. this one will leave scars that he'll get to keep longer than he will ever get to keep bison.

kant has been living with an asterisk next to his name from the moment his parents died. from then on, at every opportunity kant sacrificed who he might've been for who babe still could be. he sacrificed kant the person for kant the big brother, and whatever that included. kant the protector. kant the provider. kant the thief, the scammer, the informant. kant the manipulator. never just kant, not anymore.

but then there's bison. beautiful, observant bison who always seems to be asking who are you whenever he looks at kant. and kant doesn't know what to tell him, he really doesn't, bc whatever mask he tries to put on, whatever facade he tries to hide behind, bison just sees right through him. and although kant does everything possible to avoid telling him anything, bison always seems to get his answers anyway, even when kant doesn't say a word. like bison is collecting every splintered version of kant and putting them together to make a whole person again. just kant. no asterisk.

and kant doesn't know what to do, because bison is beautiful and he's in his bed and he has kant wrapped around his finger despite his best efforts. and yet he knows it's only of time before he has to peel himself away and never look back. let bison sit in the prison cell that was always supposed to be kant's. and despite how he might try to convince himself otherwise, he knows the guilt will eat him alive. he knows he'll feel the place where he tore them apart just as acutely as bison will. he'll have to splinter apart into a thousand versions of himself all over again. kant with an asterisk. and he'll have no one to blame but himself.

and isn't that just so fucking unfair?

Hey so because El0n Muskrat is a fucking pigheaded manchild Twitter will be shut down in Brazil. They're gonna charge a 50K brl (about 8900usd) fine to whoever is caught accessing the site/app with a VPN. Hopefully the accounts will still be intact (not so sure but I'm hoping) but we won't be able to access it. I'm so genuinely frustrated since it was the only other soc media where I had a following and could promote my art and commissions. If you're a moot from twitter pls let me know, say hi and send me asks!! I don't want to lose the connections I made there 😭

ok but THE SIGNIFICANCE of suguru being the one who waits for satoru in the s2 outro. the way their friendship is framed later is that satoru is the strongest, the fastest, the one who grows exponentially, who becomes unreachable, and before long suguru can’t do a thing to keep up with him. satoru is the one who leaves suguru behind, at least at first. but in the beginning, suguru is the one waiting for satoru to catch up. suguru is waiting for satoru to reach him. soaking wet, probably annoyed as hell, but waiting anyway. and in the end, he’s waiting for satoru in death, too.

in the cr2 episode i was listening to earlier tmn were talking to essek and cad turned to him and was like we think that someone in the dynasty is working against the dynasty, and the same for the empire, i think they're working together, and it could be you (essek), but we really hope its not and that if it isn't then this information will be carried on. and i just know essek was absolutely shitting bricks as he lied to his face saying hehe yea i'll carry on the information to someone trustworthy

so has anyone got any idea what the fuck we're supposed to do in this general election? particularly when you're in a constituency where a vote for anyone except labour is a vote for the tories and a vote for labour is also a vote for tories (ie. tory policies.)

"democracy" it's an actual joke

I know in the grand scheme of things that this is by no means a lot, but it doesn't stop me from being FLOORED by the reception of my Rayllum Month stuff?!?! Like these PROPORTIONS are NUTS to me and I'm just over here in my bedroom sobbing my eyes out that my stuff (apparently) resonates with people the way I really want it to.

I'm an emotional mess you guys and ik it's not a lot but it means EVERYTHING to me that people like my writing and I just CAN'T-

I’ve been wanting to draw him like this ever since I first saw him smile, but my will to draw eluded me until now! This started off as a doodle, so, please excuse the messiness. I drew this to de-stress.
