I want a lawsuit over this I’m not kidding.

The opt out button is a nice complacency piece but it literally does nothing. Idk the particulars of how they’re scraping data but they’re not just going to nicely remove your writing from their datasets if it’s already in there. You can’t unteach the machine.

Let it be know that I do not consent to my blog, my art, my blood sweat and other bodily fluids to be fed to the AI. And I don’t even have the button to “turn it off” yet.

Gotta love that the ATLA fandom collectively shifted from Zuko/Katara to Zuko/Sokka during the 2020 renaissance due to a growing appreciation for Kataang…

…but Maiko still gets paid absolute dust 🫠 what, y’all can finally appreciate Kataang (about mf time), but Mai has to either be abusive, cold, or the stereotypical “mean lesbian”? And the most she’s allowed to contribute now is to give birth to Izumi and then not even be her mom (on the rare occasions that Zuko/Sokka fic writers even let Mai be Izumi’s birth mom)? Very progressive…

Why didn't the joke with the Enforcers talking about Jinx's pants land for me? I thought about it at length to be honest and while I'm still not 100% sure there is a lot of things that now are clearer for me at least.

I understand this is very subjective but hear me out.

Powder grew up with Enforcers oppressing her. The first scene we see her in is her having to shield and protect herself by singing on a bridge with Enforcers killing people she knows and even loves (her parents for one). We see how she views the enforcerers with the painted over faces, the scary creepy smiles.

We see her entire group, and her sister hate Enforcers for GOOD reasons. And so does she.

Well and now people might say "Jinx also made jokes with Enforcers in the first season" but did she? like this?

The humor felt incredibly nuanced and laced with pain. If they were even jokes to begin with. The humor was her leading Enforcers to their death so she could steal from Jayce's lab. The humor was FOR her, she found it funny, she found it amazing and cool. We as the audience weren't meant to "get the joke" so to speak.

That carries on throughout the first season. The humor is never this in your face, and she also doesn't engage in conversations with especially Enforcers, not like in season 2. For gods sake when she enters the bridge she IMMEDIATELY bombs all of the Enforcers. Of course that one wasn't even in universe humor, I'm not saying that.

And then there is of course also the way she sees Caitlyn. How she ridicules her during the shower scene, a big power display. That's her form of humor with the Enforcers.

The Season 1 finale ends with Silco dead and Jinx bombing the council, there is so much pain, so much suffering and then we get to season 2 and all of that is just

gone.

Her jokes and the humor she carries rarely hit because now, suddenly, it IS for the audience. We are suddenly meant to laugh, suddenly she is meant to be funny and ridiculous. I swear to god, we see her cry and scream, justified, when she sees her sister has joined the Enforcers, the scary faces appear on her own sister.

And now you are telling ME that this person, this character, would have this almost civil, "hilarious" conversation with an Enforcer before knocking them out??? This wasn't how Jinx's humor usually works. This almost felt like any random Disney show breaking the fourth wall to make us laugh when what I always felt like Jinx was meant to have her OWN humor. That we as the audience are meant to see but not understand and find funny.

There are two kinds of zailors.

“do they always say I love you before leaving (a room, the house, etc)?”

Yes!! oh yes & all three of them do it in different ways imo!

Dorothy isn’t afraid to tell either (or both) of them that she loves them, it’s getting into specific thoughts & feelings that intimidates her (& ends in her shutting herself off most times). So she does, but she will never leave a room completely until the other(s) confirm that they’ve heard her. Yelling an ‘i love you (both)’ across the room & getting a response can be enough for her. Rose will normally come running to give her a quick kiss & Blanche follows behind to admire!! Not that she doesn’t also want to steal a kiss, and she will if she feels so inclined, but sometimes standing back & getting the look from Dorothy for smiling so unashamed while roses smothers her is exactly what she wants (she’s a little menace, I don’t make the rules I just follow them).

Rose is just the sweetest of sweethearts (as if that even needs to be said), neither of them leave the house (& most rooms) without a kiss, an I love you, and very often a ‘where are you going?’ (Because she wants to come with!! By the time she’s said that she’s already up & on her feet). She follows the both of them around the house a lot, so they’re never really out of her sight. But when they do leave the house without her she showers them in affection. Hugs & kisses, helping with their coats & shoes, last minute touch ups to hair & makeup, making sure there’s not a thing in the world they could possibly need before they leave– all of it!!

Blanche would be similar to Rose, but heavier on the physical touch side of things. Reaching out for hands/arms/wrists, so so many kisses. But I think hugs are her favourite before one of them leaves the house. Leaving a room I don’t think she’s as conscious of it (saying anything), but she always makes sure they’re a little loved on before leaving the house without her! I think she’d rather tag along whenever she can, so she’s never really saying goodbye to them.

‘How do they feel about PDA?’

oh boy. I think they’re very torn on this one:

For Dorothy it depends, but for the most part it’s a huge nono. Based on my own observation (& a hint of my own hcs) she seems to put her walls up impossibly higher when she’s outside of the house. So anything that could possibly send them crumbling down she’d avoid like the plague (or in this case, give a very stern warning to. Which she wouldn’t enjoy doing, especially not to either of them and especially not to poor Rose. Blanche understands, but rose seems to take it a little harder even after it clicks). I think there’s a chance of her warming up to the idea of a quick kiss on the cheek or linking arms, but it would never go very far on her part. & the others know (and would never cross) that! They know that if Dorothy is interested she’ll make it known.

Rose doesn’t hide her love for them, why would she? & in public the most of that energy gets thrown Blanches’ way (after she comes to understand Dorothy’s situation a little better, she’d never want to make her feel uncomfortable. The guilt would eat her alive). She shows the most affection towards Blanche but always makes sure that Dorothy knows that rose knows she’s also there. & that she loves her just as much. They share a look, & Dorothy smiles, & that’s enough for them.

Blanche, to me, is less touchy than I think most would like to believe. She loves the feeling of having someone (rose, mostly) on her arm or being on (hers). Her & Rose initiate equally & respond similarly. But blanche loves knowing that others know that she’s in love, for one reason or another. She’s not searching for external validation necessarily, I think she’s just a bit possessive. (Dorothy would also be that way, if she became that comfortable. Sort of an internal yes, she’s on my arm because she’s my wife. Jealous?) (and oh how Blanche would feed off jealous looks).

‘Choose one song that perfectly describes their relationship’

only one?!!! must I???

Because I can’t choose only one, I’m giving them each a song that I think describes their relationship perfectly from their perspective:

Dorothy: meadows in bloom by Jonathan Bree.

Rose: a lots gonna change by Weyes Blood.

Blanche: get free by lana del rey.

man. don’t have the brai npower to explain why but the fact that the fucking nz ACT party is paying to put ads on TUMBLR for their rural forums in which to discuss how best to be racist and incompetent and stomp on the most vulnerable people and communities in aotearoa. i feel like they might be missing their target demographic here

[despite-everything]

in such a fucking weird mood. it’s my mom’s birthday, and the one-year anniversary of the last time i willingly spoke to her. i feel this crushing guilt for not giving her a gift or sending her a note, but i have to hold this boundary or else i’ll hate myself and feel even worse. it’s fucking hard
