avatar containment zone

im frequently critical of avatar and Big Jim himself, usually on technical story-telling grounds or socio-political competency grounds, so if thats off-putting, this may not be the blog for you. similarly, i often have positive things to say too, usually about Frontiers of Pandora, and i do engage in some fanwork. if this is off-putting, this also may not be the blog for you.

i do not control the fixation. dont bother mocking me, i am locked in the proverbial building. if i could turn it off, I'd be more fun at parties.

i post more high-effort fannish content on @montereygay-ao3 but be warned, it's multifandom, and it's 18+ for a reason.

if you want to pose a question about the canon or its interpretation to The Council (my strike team of high level nerds with access to the reference texts), send it my way and we'll debate it. it's what we do.

when needed, i differentiate my Sarentu from other players' as "Tamtov" as opposed to "Tamtey" ("ma'Tamtov" sounds like "mazel tov")

disclaimer: im a (white, western, male) culture scholar with background in psychology, structural racism, and popular culture artifact analysis. as you might imagine, i have a lot to say about these things too as they relate to avatar. if that's not your jam, you may need to look elsewhere.
