whatever makes you happy

I'm not the first to point it out but fire lord ozai really had just a comically short reign. He fumbled it so badly. Imagine. You get the throne. You tell your gay son to go find a mythical hero who doesn't exist anymore so he'll stop embarrassing you & he really thinks he's gonna do it. Lol. Time to keep this war going for another hundred years. In the time it takes to crack your knuckles the fuckhead actually did it. But then he makes friends with the mythical hero who doesn't exist. And you're like hey wait. Stop that. You've already fumbled it unbelievably badly. Fucked it up on a scale most rulers could only dream of. You get pacifism blasted straight to hell. Your gay ass son is the new king. What the fuck. And then you like die in prison and nobody cares

Cannot stress enough that he gave Zuko a purposefully impossible task (find the avatar) and three (3) years later he actually fucking did it. He gets like a messenger hawk or whatever saying hey the avatar is alive. Btw. & he's like what the fuck. & within six months of this he has fumbled not only the crown but also the war started by his great grandfather, ongoing for a full century, until YOU 🫵 (Ozai) tried to be funny. Little did he know the power of friendship was about to be hilarious

Imagine if sisyphus was like hey boss I'm about to finish rolling that boulder like you asked me to 👍 & then it rolls back down and kills you instantly

the widespread idea/meme that qifrey and olruggio are living in two different genres where qifrey thinks he's living a greek tragedy and olruggio thinks he is living in a slice of life BL manga is of course very funny, however that is to me a misrepresentation of olly's perspective specifically. I think olruggio thinks he's living in a slightly depressing piece of nordic social realism cinema about how life will never be quite what you wanted it to be and all you can do is get to terms with that as best you can and then either way one day you'll at least die

the way i was gonna recommend the fic You've Got to Stand It for capturing this exact vibe but wow. its you. you wrote the fic

Instagram people are whining about coco/agott being shipped, like age 12 isnt the time when you're the most tormented about having a little girlcrush. Agott is literally in the same hell i was in & you want me to not aknowledge that

Plus the animation people were shitting on was like the most chaste thing in the world. Like a tiinny peck on the cheek

the way orugio left an entire society full of people who think he’s the most amazing cool talented best guy ever in order to live with his childhood best friend in an isolated cottage in the country and nurture outcast children together. wow
