lovers in every lifetime

dni lists don't work and i am well aware of this but just know that if you are a zionist/pro-israel and/or you think the israel/palestine situation is a "neutral situation" please know that you are extremely unwelcome here and will be made to feel that way. free palestine

okay soo i'm new to the atla fandom and i've been having this wracking question of why people hate zutara to the highest degree 😭because from how i see it and how their characters progress it's straying a whole lot from being a toxic/problamatic ship

despite fans laureling the show for being progressive and the creators brancing around like proud peacocks, they are incredibly reactionary and misogynistic when it comes to Aang and Katara, especially the crop that came during the 2020 renaissance. The male audience along with the creators pretty much exclusively self insert into Aang as the "sweet little nice guy suffering in the friendzone". Now the show pandered to their fantasy 100%, but not the audience. especially not the female + POW percentage -> which are typically the backbone of fandom culture creating content (fanart, books inspired, fanfic, artworks, in depth meta commentary etc...zk literally created fandom week as a concept to the world) -> so they have been blowing a casket ever since because they are incredibly parasexual with Kataang as a dynamic. They percieve every dynamic as a threat encroaching on "their 4eva girl", you can see that in their opinion on Jet and Haru– though its only "light" typical misogynistic "teasing" and mockery since they pose no real "threat". ZK is a different matter: Zuko is already overshadowing Aang as a main character and heralded has having the greatest arc by most, he also is the residing "heart throb" for the female audience for said arc but also looks (tall, dark, handsome despite the gigantic scar). The ultimate nail in the coffin is that –unlike most modern crackships (like zukka, zukoxtoph)– ZK actually has an unarguably compelling prominent canon dynamic essentially in their respective arcs and is in many aspects a direct foil to their respective "endgames" -> which is why so many folks prefer it to canon. All of this has them incredibly triggered...like level of regressing back to their older middle school crush kissing their older "cooler" "bad boy" boyfriend in the yard. The only difference to back in the day where you had your standard incel chirping, its now just has become more diversified

no such thing as wasting your 20s your 20s are for recovering from whatever the fuck happened to you as a kid so that youre ready to get weird with it in your 30s

i still got some issues with mamdani but it is rlly funny how the democratic party is trying very hard to ride his wave rn and so many of them r pretending to be rlly into socialism like boooooo u were just defending bombing civilians a month ago u cant fool me bitch

“woah…this guy is making good promises to the people and actually getting the work done and its making more ppl want to vote for more independent socialist candidates across america instead of us democrats……how is this happening?????” ur not gonna believe this….ppl vote for who they think will actually do what they say

the most infuriating thing about personal growth is that even if someone else did have the answer you needed and conveyed it to you in a precise and effective matter, it won't make sense until you're ready for it. you could hear it every day of your life and it wouldn't matter a fucking bit until it finally clicks. there's very little you can do to influence when that happens, either
