actually how many significant female characters fitting this archetype can u think of? and i mean their arc and role being actually substantial
Women donāt really get these arcs as much as men, but it does remind me of this quote.
big fan of the recent trend ive noticed of people adding flaming text of the original word over censored words in posts. do NOT sanitize the internet. say fuck with your chest
Shufu Miyamoto (b.1950)

"Vanderhorst had been under the influence of MDMA and three litres of vodka she had consumed on the night of the offence last September, her lawyer Michael Hill told the court."
three. liters.

Ok minor detail but ...
So I noticed in A:TLA, and itās carried over in LoK, that Airbenders always seem to have an advantage in a fight. And at first, it felt like plot armour, particularly in A:TLA.
But when Aang fought Bumi, he lost most of that advantage. And I realised that this wasnāt just plot armour. Someone had sat and worked it out: nobody has had to fight Airbenders for generations.Ā
None of the other nations have had to train to face them, or practised sparring with them, or anything. Apart from Bumi, no bender in the show has ever even met an airbender before Aang comes along. And in LoK, for the most part people still havenāt. We never see fights between those who have (for e.g. we never see Tenzin and Lin fight); when Korra and Tenzin use airbending, its a unique fighting style that people arenāt trained to manage.
Itās a really small detail, and it fundamentally works to give the heroes an advantage (and make up for Aangās young age and lack of combat experience), butĀ I love how itās an advantage in combat for completely logical reasons.
The detail in these shows is amazing.Ā
You can see the same principle in play whenever somebody fights somebody who uses a completely unfamiliar style. Combustion benders and lavabenders arenāt straight up more powerful, but theyāre pretty much always something you havenāt dealt with which presents unique challenges. That red lotus lady with no arms is just a perfectly ordinary waterbender, but using forms and styles nobody else has seen before. Jet routinely smacks around benders and soldiers, but loses hard to the first person he met who had actually studied diverse styles of swordplay. When Toph invents metalbending, nobodyĀ can deal with that, but seventy years later the counters are pretty well known among people who might have to fight the cops.
And itās why Azula, a genius prodigy who has thought long and hard about how to counter every kind of magic and martial arts out there, keeps getting messed up by a kid with a boomerang.
itās also a detail from the second ever episode
aang straight up says to the fire nation guards on zukoās ship āyouāve probably never fought an airbender beforeā, because he in-universe figures out that, if what everyone around him is saying is true, and airbenders have been extinct for a century (or at least have gone to ground enough to make people think that) then he is a totally unknown figure in anyoneās calculations
this has been brought up before but itās also one of the reasons why hama is so thrown in her fight with katara - waterbending is about energy exchange, keeping things flowing, throwing your opponentās power back at them and we see katara and hama do this in their fight. however, when katara is faced with a powerful blast from hama, she stands her ground and blows it apart:
[image ID: a gif of katara in the puppetmaster. she is a teenage girl with dark skin and hair and blue eyes, wearing a red outfit. she turns and throws her hand out, stopping a blast of water and turning it into a huge shield. the background is a dark forest. end image ID]
why do i bring this up?
because itās a move - and a mindset - influenced by earthbending, which hama has never faced (she went from the south pole, to prison, to the fire nation). itās an indication not only of kataraās skill and power, but also how sheās learned from her travels, and from toph
one of my favorite details of atla is how the main charactersā fighting styles adapt as they take on new enemies and make new friends with other bending styles. iroh straight up tells zuko about how he developed a technique for redirecting lightning by studying waterbenders, but if you watch closely especially in the last season, thereās a lot of this sort of thing happening unspoken with the gaang, using the bending forms of other elements like katara does above. it really shows the strength in differences and diversity coming up against a fascist regime that wants everyone to conform.
Look at Korra metal bending here
Itās completely different than anything weāve seen from other metal benders, who bend metal with sharp movements like the derivative of earth bending that it is
But Korra is fluid. She is bending metal like itās water. Because she is a water bender. And she is the first person in history to be able to bend both metal and water and so she is able to combine these styles into one and move seamlessly between them. This shows so beautifully how the Avatar is the embodiment of all bending
Every time I think this show has shown me all it canā¦.it gives me more.
The fight between Tenzin and the Red Lotus reinforces this. Zaheer is pretty skilled for someone whoās only been Airbending for a few months, and he has the advantage against a lot of people because there still arenāt really enough airbenders for people to know how to fight them. But against an Airbending MASTER like Tenzin? He only wins because he has backup
I just wanna say that this mirrors something I got to watch in real life. I fenced as a teenager, with my wife, who continued fencing in college.
But her college had fencing equipment but no team, so she started coaching them. But she fenced lefthanded. She ended up with a team of fencers who almost ALL learned to fence lefthanded.
A small % of fencers are lefthanded, so even very good fencers are often NOT USED TO fencing lefties.
So her dinky little team of mostly newbies came in and fucked severely with teams of much more experienced fencers who couldnāt cope with fencing leftie after leftie. Her one protĆ©gĆ© who was also very tall just laid waste to nationally rated fencers.
Whereas I, a very shitty fencer, can hold my own against my wife no problem, because Iāve fenced her from the start.
This isnāt JUST a fun plot point and a lovely way of showing social influences and planning and creativity, itās completely based in real life. Even a shitty fighter can be a problem for a good fighter whose never encountered their style before.
Another thing Iāve noticed thatās really cool is that Korra also tends to bring firebending techniques into her other bending methods as well, and that fits! Sheās aggressive, physically active, and generally doesnāt shy away from a fight - all traits that work well for firebending and not so much for airbending which well explains the troubles she had in Book One in mastering it.
my cat is always so very definitely calm when he sees his cat carrier and is suuuuper chill about going to the vets
if you go looking for doom and gloom all you will see is doom and gloom. if you go looking for reduced items at the grocery store you may find a littol treat
i think you should have to come out as cis or straight. stop assuming it's the default and everything else is a deviation.
you can reblog this btw. make cis people feel uncomfortable about assuming they are "normal" and we are "other". make straight people feel uncomfortable assuming they are "regular" and we are "deviant".
always icked me out how people always go "awww is he your boyfriend?" when like a 6 year old girl mentions a boy from class or telling a boy to "stop being a girl" when he so much as looks at a [not approved toy for boys]. theyre really just throwing that stuff at kids constantly without any reflection that their kid hates it

Maybe film would be better if everyone who wants to become a director were expected to first produce a silent film. Without intertitles. A film where the only tool they have is the moving picture.
Maybe then they'd learn to make films where WE CAN SEE.
It's not that I don't appreciate a bit of chiaroscuro, but there has to be enough chiar to o the scur.
love watching pre, idk, 2000 movies where there is "night lighting" that tells you it is dark but the director has paid lighting engineers enough that you can also clearly see everything
Then once they have learned how to make a movie that the audience can see, they will have to make fully produced (music, sound effects, etc) audio dramas so they can learn to make something that the audience can hear what people are saying and how to do audio mixing properly.
the word āsabotageā is p much short for āfucking shit up with a wooden shoeā
what
fucking shit up with a wooden shoe
oh my god
well wooden shoe look at that
IāM FUCKING CRYING AT THAT PUN BE MY FRIEND PLEASEĀ
I didnāt take many photos this weekend, but you can enjoy this one that made me laugh.

People are unfazed if you hate women but if you dislike dogs they assume you're a bad person
Tumblr users will read a post complaining about normalized misogyny and hyperfocus on your claim that it's ok to dislike dogs
Tumblr users will see you complain about misogyny and be ok with not liking dogs and go into your inbox and misgender you
