i will watch your documentary AJ ☹️☹️☹️☹️ (also rarijack in Rarity's profile picture 🥹🎀)

they "toned down the misogyny" w Sokka but then made Katara into a passive child™️ when she is notoriously head strong and just as stubborn as Sokka and a Mom™️ to them all. me thinks the misogyny just got rebranded

PSA to fan creators who don't have a lot of regular contact with children: They are almost always bigger than you think. A 1-year-old baby may already be walking. A toddler is likely already hip-high. A 10-year-old may already be taller than at least one of their parents. A 14/15 year old may already have reached their adult height.

Here's the link. It was actually not immediately easy to find, so I thought this might help.

"i dont dislike taylor swift as a person, i just think her music is not that good" well i hate her as well. why the fuck am i biking everywhere and taking trains and walking two hours if she produces two tons of co2 emissions for a 15min flight. fuck her

this isnt going to be a long reblog because theres a lot of fairly obvious things wrong with this that would take a fairly long wordcount to explain and i only have fun writing massive wordcounts over explaining worm characters when theyre my unsweet prince but i do think its really silly that you go "carol doesnt treat amy as some Other invading her family, she [precise reiteration of the mechanisms by which carol does exactly that]." on a tangentially related note man i cant wait to get 2 the part in the reread where carol accepts amy after the wretchening bc i do remember finding it so deeply compelling on the first go but i do not remember enough about it to post about it. something about only being able to accept your daughter as your daughter after seeing the raw results of the exclusion...incredibly visceral arc. anyway the main misconception here is the idea that it's being supposed that the dallons are literally supposed to be taken as perfect vs being trapped in a torment nexus of their own making where they're all experiencing varying levels of attempting to look like they fit an idealized societal role ('hero,' in brief) while having internal experiences incredibly far from that expectation--once you clear that idea up you should be a lot closer to understanding them

Yes, this sort of argument is what I meant by "vague aloofness to canon to try and hide the fact it's pretty much bullshit"

i'm not really sure how to go about helping you understand the points being made better because you're having trouble parsing a lot of ideas that i think are broken down in fairly simple ways--maybe some of my lb posts from the bank scene/wards interlude provide specific enough examples to walk you thru it some of what yr needing explained in more depth to have click? like i think the bank interlude one is fairly clear abt the dissonance btwn victorias actual self and her child cop celeb persona in a way that could illustrate why the whole "the dallons are being presupposed as literally perfect" idea is a misread. but if you're continuously stuck on rejecting connection of details based on just "it's opaque because i said so" you're probably not going to make much headway
