He/Him | Bisexual | 28 | Latino | Creative Writing Major Mostly reblogging shitposts and leftist politics, but also a whole bunch of fandom stuff, such as: A:TLA, The Owl House, She-Ra, Godzilla, Ultraman, & Tokusatsu in general
just saw someone say it’s offensive to compare a/ng to Bryke bc they’re white men and he’s a monk. Girl he’s not real. And if he was isn’t it more offensive that they made a monk get married and have most of his screen time be based on love and wanting to be in a relationship?

I think it's hilarious that that ka shipper running that "Katara Week" on twitter and blocking zutara shippers is like "no this is about Katara, NOT about ships," but one of the prompts is "Katara and the people who love her" and their reasons for blocking zutara shippers is alllll ship discourse started by kas trying to insist that something zutara shippers did was racist and zutara shippers ignoring them or calling them out on attempting to virtue signal and weaponize racism, sometimes against poc.
Like, if you want ka week, just call it that. This disingenuous behavior is what's got people calling it out, more than wanting anything to do with any event run by someone who behaves that way. What's worse is the attempt to weaponize a ship week against the fandom that created ship weeks. And these people want to tell us it's about Katara. Sure.
yeah, and as a Black ZK shipper, i find it disturbing just how much people are willing to believe one person without witnessing the supposed racist behavior themselves. like, look at the deep shit that got them into with zkanti months ago. i think a huge issue in the ka fanbase is that they think of everything in relation to zk. i saw a ka fan art that was calling katara a breeding machine with hella likes (in the thousands), and one of the commenters said "thanks for giving zutara fans ammunition." like, you see a disgusting fan art like that and your first thought is to think "shit, now the zks will have something against US."
people are PMO turning it into a circular argument and making it seem like zks are the ones making it abut ships when we are just RESPONDING to being prevented from joining Kataan-- I mean.. katara week. everyone defending it has their heads up their asses.
also, i think it's because they want to hold on to their claim that zks only care about her when its related to zuko. if we participate in katara week in droves, then they can have their confirmation bias anymore.
Speaking of people who are little bitches, let's start with Aang
Zutara headcanons about Aang:
Aang did not handle Zuko and Katara getting together well...at all.
Aang was really possessive and kinda blew up into a shouting match at Zuko and Katara.
Katara tried to explain to him that she loves Zuko and never meant to hurt Aang, but he didn't want to hear it.
He ran away because that's what he always does.
He stayed bitter about it for years.
Aang is distant and standoffish to the steam babies. I mean, they are living proof that Zuko had raw unprotected sex with Katara and Aang didn't.
Speaking of which...
Steambabies:
Kya is the firstborn and a firebender. She's a total daddy's girl.
Lu Ten is second and waterbender. Total mama's boy.
Izumi is the third and a non-bender. She's the baby of the group.
Zuko does his best to show ALL his children the love and support that his father wouldn't.
It's comes more naturally to Katara while Zuko keeps second guessing himself about being a good father.
Izumi is the youngest by a few years because that's what happens when you go on vacation in Ember Island and you bring Fire Nation spiced wine with you.
Kya is passionate and full of life!
Lu Ten is more a quiet, go with the flow kinda kid.
Izumi is a curious inquisitive child.
Zuko and Katara don't plan on having more children, but the danger is always there (ya know what I mean)
Zuko and Katara are more hands on parents despite their busy schedule. They do have servants and nannies, but that's more of a last resort kinda thing.
The kids love going to visit the SWT because it's so different from the FN.
Who wants to play with Uncle Sokka? Everybody!
Iroh is "grandpa" while Hakoda is "gramps."
The kids know Iroh isn't actually their grandfather, but he acts like it so they still call him that.
Auntie Toph is more of a rough and tumble aunt.
Kya did meet Aang once. He...didn't say anything to her.
The kids are always in awe at their parents bending skills. To the rest of the world, they are two of the most powerful people. But to them they're mom and dad.
Doesn't help that Zuko still can't tell a joke correctly.
Someone will say "as a queer person in the heart of empire, my life is in danger every day" and you'll find out they're a developer for Amazon and live in San Francisco or Seattle or some shit, and then you'll meet a trans girl from Alva, OK who's like "Yeah, things are pretty good. AutoZone moved me to full-time."
#That's what I mean when I say the foundation of feminism and queer community should not fixate on victimhood #Once you feel that our suffering is our shared experience an not our love then our suffering becomes vital to the culture #I don't want a culture where suffering is vital #I want a culture where love is celebrated #The suffering is an imposition not a prerequisite #And yeah I sure fucking hope our oppression is diluted bitch you WANT us freebasing the uncut shit???
THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYINGGGGGGGG!!!! Like the last person said, tech bros (and Silicon Valley as a whole) fundamentally reject consent. This is why Microsoft refuses to let you say no permanently and "reminds you in 3 days," this is why AI """"artists"""" keep stealing from artists, this is why websites make you go through 14 menus to turn off tracking cookies.
It all ties back to not respecting others' autonomy and consent, which is part of rape culture.

straight white people making a romance movie: haha what if it was illegal to have sex? wait what's lawrence v texas. wait what's mclaughlin v florida. wait what's loving v virginia
As preposterous and stupid as this fucking movie's premise sounded (for a light-hearted rom-com, and not The Handmaid's Tale) I didn't want to think about it too much until the movie actually came out, and then I could see if it was somehow more intelligent and subversive than the trailer let on, but guess what, it's even worse!
If this is what it takes to get a rom-com greenlit these days, maybe we should just let them die.
Sex workers are thrown under the bus, shown only as thieves who fleece men in the woods at night, while queer sexuality is relegated to a few scenes with Allie’s roommate (a woefully underused Quintessa Swindell) and a handful of pans past blurry same-sex extras making out in the background. “This night is for the straights,” Swindell’s character says to Allie, before saying that queer people have worked around straight laws for centuries.
This is supposed to be a nod to queer resilience, but largely comes off as straightwashing the history of anti-LGBTQ legislation in this country that led towards raids of queer clubs and incarceration of queer people in the not-too-distant past (let alone the current barrage of anti-Trans and LGBTQ legislation currently in the works and on the books). It’s also ignorant of the long and fraught fight for the normalization of age-of-consent laws, which, by the way, did not happen in all states in this very country until 2003. Yes, that’s not even thirty years ago.
By the end, our intrepid protagonists have not had sex with anyone, because this is a film about Romance with a Capital R (and I guess sex is not part of romance!) and for that very same reason they ultimately embrace the fascist state of things. They aren’t the only ones who refuse to fight back. No one in this cursed film is protesting this mandate beyond “repeal” signs in various windows and some creative graffiti (...)
(...) If we are supposed to believe that the film is making some subversive statement about the state of sex and bodily autonomy in this country, it cannot end with its leads embracing their chains. That’s just warmed-over conservatism running around in sheep’s clothing.
yeah i wrote this post having only seen the trailer, but jesus christ. was this movie a psyop LMAO??
also, for the unaware: mclaughlin v. florida was a 1964 supreme court case that struck down a florida anti-miscegenation law that criminalized cohabitation (and thus, as implied, sex) between white people and people of color of opposite genders. anti-miscegenation laws made marriage and sexual relationships between white people and people of color, most often specifically black people, a FELONY in several states in the united states up until the 1950s and 1960s. though it was already struck down by the supreme court, the state of alabama didn't repeal their law until 2000! there were THREE ATTEMPTS at codifying anti-miscegenation into the us constitution!
like yes, the issue here is partially straight white people's ignorance on the united states's history of homophobic policy, but it's also really important to recognize that arguably the majority of the issue here is straight white people's ignorance of the united states's history of codifying eugenics and antiblack racism.
the premise could have been interesting as a serious dystopian story, especially taking that history into account, but it wasn't written that way at all. this movie should never have been a fucking romcom making light of the violence the united states (and many other countries) has enacted on any kinds of sexual relationships it deems undesirable.
So the UK will reroute a fucking Internet cable for a fake grave for a fake elf because a bunch of brain dead nerds through a pissy fit, and meanwhile real actual natives in the US are getting arrested for trying to keep oil sand pipelines from going through their actual graves, holy sites and unceded territory. Burn it all down.
they routed the project and such that it's close to an actual Bronze Age burial site btw. so they're possibly disturbing REAL graves in order to not "disturb" a fictional character's "grave"
Yeah, this is in West Wales - Freshwater West in Pembrokeshire. Shit head tourists keep going there and littering it with fucking socks and painted pebbles. It's in a national park and is environmentally sensitive, so yes, please, do go and destroy the fucking thing
There is so much wrong with this. People who hold a pro-AI stance keep wondering why a lot of people hate them. This is why. The total lack of respect for consent and boundaries and the entitlement displayed by pro-AI people is disgusting.

Enforcer Zuko Kasai has a very simple task: survive in the Undercity long enough to complete his mission, and do so without calling forth Councillor Ozai's wrath. Again.
The people of Zaun aren't making his job any easier. He sympathizes with their cause, he truly does, but if Katara blows up another factory, Zuko swears he'll jump off a bridge before Father's goons can get to him. How is he supposed to reclaim his status as the Kasai Heir in these conditions?
(The solution finds him when a strange kid with a connection to the Arcane drops on Katara and Sokka's doorstep. Naturally, it all goes downhill from there.)
.
Depiction AU:
Manipulation comes in the wording of things. It's easy to win an entire Court when empathy is turned into a weapon. Luckily for their mission, Katara—Master Waterbender, Tempest of the Fire Nation, Fiancée of the Crown Prince—has always been a people person.
Or: After their plans hit a dead end, Katara pretends to betray the Avatar in the Crystal Catacombs. Zuko returns to the Fire Nation with a waterbender by his side and Roku's headpiece on his head. While the Blue Spirit and the Painted Lady gather sensitive information and turn Hari Bulkan upside down, Crown Prince Zuko and Master Katara conquer the Court (and plan a successful coup).
one time i was making potato soup and i needed broth for it but i was out of broth. but in my dog food cabinet there was a carton of chicken broth that i had bought for my dog. now the box did say HUMAN GRADE and the ingredients were just bog standard chicken broth. it did say something about joint health for dogs on there. but the ingredients were normal. i even compared the ingredients list to some normal person broth and they were the same. so i did put dog broth in that soup and it did taste completely normal. but i did use the dog broth.
Something nobody prepares you for is that the better you get at writing the harder it becomes. beginners write freely because they don't know enough to know what's wrong. then you learn. and suddenly you can see every single flaw in real time as you're making it and you have to write anyway while your own brain is in the corner going "that's a weak verb. that transition is lazy. you've used that word three times." getting good at this is mostly just getting better at ignoring yourself.
