i think it’s really amazing how total strangers who have nothing in common but their shared love of a work of fiction will come together across distances and dedicate their time and energy working collaboratively to build an extensive, richly detailed fanon that completely fucking sucks

it’s so funny how iroh is always just like “oh don’t look at me I am but a stupid old man” and if anyone is like “um… no…… you’re the Dragon of the West” he’s like “what? that was , like, ages ago. six years ago, even. I’m stupid now. my brains turned to mush!” and then they just believe him and completely let their guard down. I love it

Iroh leverages ageism to do whatever the fuck he wants, and to win at everything forever.

the context for this is that he gave his own daughter a switch at another child's birthday party

THIS is what Jesus would do

Gonna take a moment to appease/pander to the Christians right now

When did 'book nook' go from meaning 'an alcove in your house where you store books & also have a cosy spot to read' to meaning 'a landscape sculpture that fits between your books for whimsical decoration'?

When Boomers destroyed the economy so badly that having a designated reading space in your house is more fictional than a mini-forest in your bookshelf.

Ah. Yeah, that tracks. :(

this feels like the cat version of the thing where one creature always speaks the truth and the other always lies
