I know most fanfics in modern day ATLA go for Japanese Zuko(which dont get me wrong I like) but I yearn for more thai Zuko fics simce there’s so much Thai influence on the fire nation 💔

I'm thinking of Symphony of the Sixth Blast Furnace by Evgeny Sedukhin again...

there basically isn't a single established action archetype that you can't improve tenfold by making it a girl

the old master. the sneering rival. the implacable pursuer. the pragmatic mercenary. the combat hedonist. the sleeper operative. the guy who's just really big. the list goes on

i think being proud of where you come from is one of those things that becomes fun the more specific you get. like "proud to be english" bad rancid vibes. makes you sound like the kind of person who rants about immigrants. "proud to be from yorkshire" better vibes. i cannot deny the yorkshire cultural heritage. "proud to be from pocklington" absolutely fucking hilarious please never let anybody kill your pocklington pride.

Oh my God… planes are bombing near me. The air is filled with fear, explosions everywhere. Please pray for us.

Guys, ignoring this is harder than the war itself. Please share.

Nobody: Nobody at all: Not one single person: LinkedIn: have you ever wondered what it feels like to kill

pacific rim fucks severely for a lot of reasons but my favorite is that it opens with "the lizard aliens are unionizing so we built robots running on the power of love to fight them you got all that right" and before you have time to really process that concept bam gunshot body on the floor and the movie goes "now consider the vast power of grief in this setup" it never really stops considering

It also has a scene where the robot uses a boat as a baseball bat. That also fucks tremendously.

So much of the world's "riches" came from Latin America that it really makes the mind dizzy. You see all those palaces in Austria and you would think they are as far from Bolivia as possible and then you remember that the Austrian Habsburgs ruled the Spanish Empire and partook of the loot of the silver and gold from the Americas. You see the cuisine of Europe, Asia and Africa completely changed by American crops to the point that many don't even remember where they came from. Silver from Potosí found its way from China to Sweden. All the world was enriched, directly or not, while the Americas were plundered. When you really realize the scale of it, the entire line of history bends around it.

i absolutely love how gintama fansubbers never take much liberty with the dialogues while translating to make it easier for the audience to understand and instead opt to put an entire wall of text over the screen providing the context and explaining the linguistic and semantic nuance of the joke like yes tell me all about the causes and symptoms of this one penis infection so that i can understand the 5 very specific dick jokes gintoki is going to make simultaneously in a row in the next 60 seconds

THE BOTTOM IS A PAINTING????
