every time I think about how katara and toph are parellels in how they express emotion I become very tender. katara seems sweet and harmless on the outside, but her greatest strength is her capacity for anger and her conviction, and similarly toph appears harsh and unreflective, but can be immensely vulnerable, as with her conversation with sokka in the Runaway. both of them break ideas of what a female character should be by the nature of their complexity, they are alternatively angry or soft, or even neither, and they complement each other so perfectly.

Do you like enemies to lovers because it’s hot or do you like enemies to lovers because you think of yourself as unlovable & unworthy of love and therefore like the idea of someone seeing all the worst in you right away and still falling in love with you anyways

People who try to tell me things are ‘not that deep’ fundamentally misunderstand me, I am not a fish desperately in search of the ocean, I am a magpie that roves the canons, searching for shiny things to put in my nest. Whether or not it actually is given deep narrative weight by canon itself is of secondary importance to the fact that it has the potential to be interesting, and thus, I covet it.

“The ground is soft and I’m ready to dig” is the best description of the fanfic attitude I’ve ever seen.
