There's some good in this world... and it's worth fighting for.

"i ate too many cookies" is truly an ageless problem. an unlearnable lesson.

this is in perfect iambic meter and sounds like the first line of a weird poem

Whatever else one can say about Tolkien, deciding to resolve accidentally using the same elf name twice by going "actually, it's the same guy; yeah, he just walked back to Middle-Earth from the afterlife – in fact, all elves can technically do that, but he's the only one who did" was kind of a move.

"grackle" really is a perfect name for a bird. knocked it out of the park w/ that one

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

OP i'm fucking screaming because bioinformatics!Sauron also has my problems!!!! Does Sauron want to pull 500bp upstream of every differentially expressed gene to look for putative promoter motifs??! No. he doesn't.

Does Sauron want to spend two hours waiting on ensembl to match every blasted SNP to its chromosome name and associated gene? I think not
