Zuko during ‘The Waterbending Scroll’: It’s a white flag and you might as well start waving right now, waterbender—

Katara, still tied up: The ONLY thing I will be waving is your decapitated head on a stick in front of your weeping mother!

Zuko:

His soldiers:

The pirates:

Iroh:

Yue:

Zuko: Good spirits,

what draws you back to your country what draws you back to your land when i was a kid i told myself if i ever left iran i'd never go back 2 years into living in the UK i started looking at news on iran again 10 years in and i visited it for the first time again and today i heard an iranian mother talk in farsi to her child on the train to london the way my mother used to and i wanted to cry i wanted to ask her whether they're still cutting the mountaintops whether the lakes are still drying today i showed the person i was with pictures of waterfalls and palaces and forests and snow-white north something odd pulls me back with increasing force i can't ignore it ever again

Just read 431 and honestly...Idk, I'm in shock tbh

It just felt so empty, so many pages filled with nothing. Every single hero we meet has their ranking displayed - because even though the ranking system has been proven to be, at best, a stupid glorification tool and, at worst, a way for heroes to directly avoid responsibilities and punishment, it's apparently still so important that we, the readers, need to know exactly where each former 1-A member is on the ranking

And then there's the ending, oh boy, the ending. While I do like that Ochako still thinks about Toga (to the point where she haunts her dreams) and she clearly has thought about her words, I still don't like how it's utilized here. Toga is now being used as nothing more than a tool to 'allow' Ochako to bring forth her feelings for Deku. Toga is not a person anymore, she's now nothing but a vehicle to allow yet another basic shounen-main-characters-ship to exist. It feels wrong.

Oh yeah, and then with a single line Touya's death was finally confirmed. Just like that. Nothing more, just a throwaway comment was all that we got... I hate it here.

Feeling very optimistic about the final chapter because I am dying for Izuku to finally be able to unpack his feelings about everything he's experienced on his hero journey, and with regards to Katsuki (and All Might, respectfully everybody else get back). We've only gotten very small bits of introspection on his end, and with one chapter left, I hope that it's all given the space it deserves. Shipping aside, bkdk's relationship is core to the series and it would be extremely confusing for hori not to give them some semblance of proper closure or signal as to what their bond is going to evolve into after the events of the story.

(But on the other hand, slightly worried about the pacing based on the last few epilogue chapters...just pictured me sitting, reading, waiting for a bkdk handhold and the here comes cementoss and company for multiple pages 😭)

I think what fascinates me most about Spider's betrayal is that, in the grand scheme of the training exercise, his role (and the actual inciting moment) almost becomes a non-entity.

It's River who disobeys orders to stand down, who injures an uninvolved police officer, who causes chaos by barging through the airport. It's River - who is so impulsive and so self-convinced of his own abilities - who escalates the situation beyond a misidentification.

Spider's role was to force an error - the fiasco, as he points out, is entirely on River. If he had stood down, he would've perhaps still been forgivable. Still slipping off the fast track, but with the legacy behind him likely to find a way back.

Of course, we know that Taverner wanted River ousted completely so the escalation was necessitated. But that brings in this really compelling question of who planned what?

Was this also a training exercise for Spider? Did Taverner just demand the end goal and not the means? If so, did Spider know to just give River enough rope to hang himself?

i would like to introduce antis to the concept of: genuinely asking questions instead of pretending to be part of the community and then squishing yourself away from it really hard because you jumped in both feet and got a shock from it

I've been looking into hiking a lot with leon and it's honestly driving me up the walls how gentrified hiking is here in Austria. most of the nicer routes are overrun and/or have horribly expensive parking.

multi day hikes/short camping trips are impossible here if you're broke and have a dog because you need to reserve and pay to sleep in sheds in the alps (that don't allow dogs) and all forms of wild camping are illegal.

idk the realisation that all of the "hardcore" hikers sleep in little well temperatured huts that usually even offer food and drinks made me realise hiking like that is just another pay to play sport. i'll just keep crawling down the day trip mountains instead.

Very intrigued by Louisa Shoots River 👀👀👀👀 -whumpdoyoumean

thank you <3 from this ask game

I gave the basics here but here is another snippet:

“I can’t believe it’s been, what? Two? Three years?” Miles asked with a grin, his eyes travelling her up and down, likely wondering if she’d let herself go in her time as a Slow Horse. 

Fucking men. 

“Yeah,” Louisa said, taking another sip of her drink and motioning to the bartender for another. “Weird.”

It was half five. Where the fuck was River? Though Miles turned out to be decent enough company. She hadn’t remembered him being as funny as he was tonight. Or maybe it was the vodka sodas. By the time River strolled in at half-six, she had almost forgotten about him. At least until she took him in, his cheek caught her attention first, a bright red cut centred a red swell of what would turn into an impressive bruise. Redness painted along his jaw, and she winced in sympathy, nervous about what other maladies were hidden under River’s jacket. 

“River, what happened?” she asked concerned. 

“Got jumped,” he said simply, motioning to the bartender and asking for a beer.
