my controversial opinion is I don’t think Zuko was confused by “my first girlfriend turned into the moon”

he was there during siege of the North. he infiltrated the spirit oasis. he has an uncle who studies spirits and the spirit world. he watched the sky go dark then the moon suddenly reappear like everyone else in the entire world did. and most importantly he watched zhao get eaten by a giant godzilla fish spirit.

his entire life since he saw that beam of blue-white light in the south pole has been ‘this day has already been so goddamn weird’

The only really new information was that that was Sokka’s girlfriend

Also, Iroh was there? He literally watched Sokka make out with the moon spirit. And you want to tell me that a romantic sap like him would not have immediately told Zuko about this romantic tragedy? Please, Zuko has known about this for ages, he just knows that this is not an acceptable situation in which to say “yeah, I know.”

When you put it like that, this is actually a legendary display of tact on Zuko’s part

“don’t take it personally” how would you like me to take it then? professionally? romantically? academically?

Mysaria trying to pass Medicare for All, Daemons trying to get Martial Law declared, Baela and Addam being the heads of the wildlife management, Orwyle is busy running Westero’s first planned parenthood, and Rhaenyra is trying to take out the oppositions nuclear war capabilities. Absolutely no agreement and nobody is in lockstep. Welcome back the modern Democratic Party

It's hilarious that Otto Einfasen seems to have just kind of accepted that, "Occtis Tachonis was brutally murdered by his own family last week" and "He's still wandering around and Vaelus saw him this morning" are both things which are completely true. He does of course have that letter from Occtis naming his family as his murderers, but it is still funny that he seems to have mentally filed that whole "dead but still walking around" situation under "Tachonis Bullshit" and is leaving it there

stop letting miserable people on the internet convince you that you must have a concrete, well-constructed opinion on everything that has ever existed.

everybody say thank you Marcus Aurelius

In light of the Odyssey movie coming out this is my formal PSA that Helen of Troy is actually Helen of Sparta, Troy is the city she was stolen and brought to. The entire Trojan war is the Greeks trying to get her back from Troy, because she is from Sparta. I feel like we all collectively forget this.
