AU where Zuko is intent on capturing Azula and forcing her to become a shrine maiden so he can both disinherit her and keep her celibate, only to find Azula independently became a shrine maiden by herself so he reflexively tries to get her to quit being a shrine maiden because he's convinced its a ploy at his expense

increasingly embarrassing to have to ask for money on tumblr dot edu but money has been... very tight as of late and my financial aid for my summer session ended up coming up $237 short of what i need for my summer housing so if anyone can help me out that would be massively appreciated.

i was trying to figure out if i could do some of the baby/dog/housesitting gigs i normally do back home in a pinch, but my services are not needed at the moment, so... here we are.

trust me i'm as exhausted to be asking again as you are to be asked, so i really am grateful for any small bit that can help, even just a reblog.

There’s one guy in Columbus Ohio that has a completely unique strain of Covid that we only know about because of how much he is shitting and it is baffling researchers.

His identity is a mystery but they know where commutes to because his shits turn up there too.

[zuko-always-lies]

The idea of Iroh and Zuko being (in Book 2) continually being convinced that Azula is right on their heels and living in fear while in reality Azula has no idea where they are and is mostly trying to capture the Avatar and conquer Ba Sing Se instead anyways is hilariously ironic.

Is it just me or do y'all also get weird vibes when people constantly compare Azula to full grown villains from other series?

Like yes, let's compare this 14 year old to a 30 year old man, these are totally equals and a good comparison!

Click thru and watch him. It's less than 3 minutes.

Beloved meteorologist on the air for 34 years stops his show to deliver education about Trump's Musk's cuts to science and the National Weather Service. How, this year, for the first time in his career he cannot forecast hurricanes with any confidence.

He's getting the word out. More of this please.

Have a quick snippet from an Azutara one-shot I'm writing for @wombatking

Azula laid her foot flat on the ground. Her reward was another burst of pain. She felt her muscles tense and shifted her stance so that ninety five percent off her weight was on her other leg. It still hurt; not too much to be manageable, but enough to tell her that it would become a problem if she tried to bear any significant weight on it. She was injured too severely to ignore it. Azula immediately knew who to go to for help. Absolutely no one. Any of the servants, healers included, would go straight to Zuko if they discovered she was injured. Sweet little Zuzu would then subject them to a miserably awkward conversation where he pretended he cared and she was obligated to hold her tongue. The Avatar would also go to Zuko, but not before a lecture about how all creatures experienced pain or some other peace-loving dreck. The waterbender… The less said about that, the better.

I want to make this point respectfully...

But if you are deeply concerned about the Palestine plight, probably the best way to spend your money is by to donating to organizations like UNRWA, the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society, Médecins Sans Frontières, and World Central Kitchen. Arab.org has a good list. Large organizations have big advantages.

You’re not depressed. You just need $250,000 in your bank account.

Yeah, I suppose that's true, but I guess that was probably close to the limit of Appa's endurance? They could have rested on a iceberg if they really needed to, perhaps.

Appa's Endurance

"The Chase" suggests that Appa (and by extension other sky bisons) can only fly something like 12-14 hours continuously before they need substantial rest. At a speed of 50 to 80 mph (a complete guess on my part), this would suggest that sky bisons and their air nomad riders can fly between 600 and 1100 miles over water. Presumably, with a safety margin built in, the practical distance is less. Any routes longer than that would require resting on islands or possibly ice.

I don't know what the overall significance of this all is, but it probably had an effect on Air Nomad travel and culture, and you could use it in fic to explain why the heroes can't simply fly somewhere.

No problem!

Figured I'd recommend this, given how much fun I've been having with it: Arsonist's Lullaby, by Magery on Sufficient Velocity. A story/forum quest following Azula living the same nine days from Sozin's Comet over and over and over again, to whenever or wherever her eventual defeat takes place, and then right back to Mai's "I love Zuko more than I fear you". After repeated failures to escape, Azula begins trying new tactics that find her confronting her own various truths of herself and the world

I suppose I should probably check it out, even though I'm not very drawn to quests. Sufficient Velocity is a quite a place.
