#this is annoying

Well, I guess I'm going to have to address this now...

Since Blackbullet99 seems to have a hard-on for Zutara shippers who call it like it is.

Well, blackbullet99 can fuck off.

I'm not even going to get into why two American men decided to write a character like this, but it is what it is.

Bryke is the person responsible for the shitty writing that doesn't really address the trauma of a fictional character that I genuinely can't stand because he is one foot into Gary Stu territory and is a McGuffin at best.

Does this mean I hate Kataang? Not really. My problem is with Bryke and their stupidity about Westernizing South Asian Culture and how they wrote Aang. I'm not South Asian, but I do have some friends that are, and I'm very protective over them and their beliefs. I will admit when I'm being stupid and apologize for misunderstanding. Clearly, it is something that is blatantly going on with blackbullet here.

So in light of that, this reblog was discussing something about Aang's character being (hold on brain fart)... more or less unaccountable for any of his actions.

Here's the deal. I don't downplay actual real world genocide. I condemn it, my ancestors were victims of colonization and at the same time genocide on one side and the other were the colonizers. It's horrible. I am a student of history and I know things about genocide and war that most wouldn't believe happened. But here we are. It's bloody, it's inhumane.

But for a fictional character that is written by two white men from America... it's hard for me to empathize with that. I don't know how anyone can look at that and say oh yeah... they know! When they don't.

As a writer, I understand that we use real world events to inspire our work. But, here is the thing, we write what we know. I can not possibly know what it's like to survive a genocide and be able to write about it from that perspective. I have sympathy and I love those that have witnessed it first hand. But this is beyond my comprehension. I do my best to make things realistic in my writing by reading first hand accounts, but Bryke... sweet Godzilla... they know nothing.

So there. My defense against someone who thinks they are morally superior.

And they can still fuck off.

Maybe an opinion that's gonna get me mauled to death but....

Every time someone calls a 30-45 year old character a "hag" I die inside. That's not a hag that's a middle aged adult

Don't be afraid of saying you like adults, ik you don't actually like wrinkly old people and that's ok. Even if you did, you wouldn't be "quirky" because of it you would just have a taste

So with that I will have to remind everyone here to

PLEASE NOT REBLOG THREADS YOU'RE NOT A PART OF.

I thought it was basic unspoken RP Tumblr rules but apparently not! I do not care if you think it's beautifully written (thank you for the compliment by the way, I'm very proud of how my english improved those last few years) but it's just rude to reblog threads you're not a part of!

It's like going to complete strangers while they talk to each other and either start to join in on the conversation without being asked to or, in that case, just... stare blankly at them.

You can enjoy the threads and read them all you want, I do not mind, or else I would roleplay in private only, but please, again, for the love of all the gods, do NOT reblog threads you are not a part of!

Experiencing psychosis is great! I love hearing footsteps and movement from the person directly behind me staring at me reaching out for me touching me

As I write part of this massive paper that's due for me, I'm realizing my worst trait as a scientist is a tendency to overreport the findings of one/a few papers.

bots are showing up again??? 🙃

[addicted2coke-theothercoke]

Readers on tiktok and Instagram have apparently never witnessed (and also can't imagine):

A deep and gutteral sound(grow)

A devilish smile(smirk)

A titled head(cocked)

Someone from their eyes in frustration??

And a lot of others but I accidently lost the post I'm pulling these real examples from

I think the biggest issue is that the people making these comments just immensely lack imagination. I've hardly seen anyone smirk, but even as a kid I understood what it meant for a character to be smirking, it's a clearly defined word used in a self explanatory concept, there's no reason people can't get what it means and are so thrown off by it, and yet it happens

You've probably never felt the pull of g forces, will you find your disbelief broken if you read a book about fighter jets?

You probably don't have a secret handshake, will you find the characters to be stereotypical if they do?

Do you cringe when people use words you've never used and behave in ways you've never believed??

It just drives me nuts people who read books, from a young age, and reportedly love books, struggle so much that children grasp once they have the words explained

[komotionlessqueenmm]

Anyone else having an issue with editing posts with images or gifs attached to them? Because for the past few weeks I have been having this problem. It doesn't happen with all of them, but a lot of them. And because of that I can't work on drafts with pics and gifs... This is really annoying. Especially with posts I've got in my drafts, that I've previously worked on and can no longer continue to work on... So if I write something out, then add the pic and gif for that post, and save it. Only to realize I goofed something, and I'm then unable fix my goof... (҂-̀_-́)

I hateeeeeee a “without me” kind of dude…..

My bills get paid without you right!?!?!?!?

I literally just spoke about this on my podcast 😂

I can't remember if I took my morning dose of ADHD meds, so I don't know if I'm having a bad, medicated morning or a frankly pretty productive unmedicated morning

Sometimes I regret giving into my brain and watching a show because TikTok told me to.

I am now so deeply obsessed with this show that it is hard to watch other things because they aren’t the show. I’ve already finished it twice. It’s only 3 (ish) seasons. Normally I’d just write fanfiction about it to appease my brain but this isn’t that kind of show 😭

Currently trying to work on a save file i'm planning and everytime i try to save my progress it gets stuck on loading for what seems like infinity :(

UUGGHHHHHHH

[yang4ever]

why did my brain come up with the best plot ideas in the universe only to forget them when this like really sudden wave of exhaustion came over me

[thepeculiarbird]

Tumblr is completely broken for me rn, idk if it's a problem with my computer or the website but all the images, including pfps, appears as a little paper emoji icon (??). I also have problems with other websites and I know this is isn't a virus, we'll see. Anyway, I won't be posting any images/videos so no pinterest ask games sadly.
