social contract is all fucked now, nobody wears ear buds on the train anymore and almost nobody will assassinate a politician for the greater good

to get a job you have to have 10 years of experience in every possible tool and task that could even tangentially be related to what you'll actually be doing and then you have to prove that you're the smartest person in the world and you're organised and proactive and have great problem solving skills. and then if you beg on your knees like a dog enough and actually get the job, the entire first week will be doing spent reading shit like: 'MANDATORY HEALTH AND SAFETY TRAINING: if the floor is SLIPPERY or BUMPY, you might TRIP. this is BAD. please take this test to check your knowledge. question 1: is tripping bad? yes/no'

I should specify I wouldn't want this "replacement" to last more than a chapter, I love Noelle and what she adds to the story, but Ralsei is a main character for a reason even though the fandom doesn't always act like it. Legitimately replacing a Darkner with a Lightner permanently would leave an extremely weird taste for the story, I'm just here for the drama and Ralsei's deepest insecurities being flayed open for everyone to see.

Rewatching atla episodes for Reasons and I just realised that Zuko found Appa the night after he found out he was missing. The gaang have been desperately searching for, what? A few weeks? And Zuko sees a poster saying Appa is missing and just squares tf up and finds him immediately. What a fucking madman. 

This comes in handy when he has kids.

He absolutely found his mother. And I cannot believe I am only just now noticing this whole concept.

Also while he took years to find the avatar, the avatar was in ice basically that whole time. Once the avatar had been freed from the ice Zuko found him IMMEDIATELY

you cannot headcanon your way out of overt thematic structures on which the entire narrative is built

Doctors should snark at each other more, be a bit mean. Not for no reason, mind you. But if five doctors blow me off about symptoms and doctor number six FINALLY runs actual tests and gets a diagnosis, I think it should be Doctor Six's right to call up the other five and tell them they're lazy pieces of shit. That should be socially encouraged. Those first five doctors clearly can't listen to patients, but maybe another doctor might finally get to them.

never liked Katara and Aang ending up together because even as a youth I always felt like women who spend their entire lives in a relationships with men they met as teens are like low-key in hostage situations. like even if he's nice I want to rescue her.

there was this couple in my high school. she was a horse girl and he was a wrestler. they'd been a couple since they were in like sixth grade and I was so worried about her.

plus he's 12 :(

obviously this take is highly shaped by the fact that when the series ended I was 12 and I couldn't think of anything worse than kissing a 12 year old boy. so I super couldn't understand why the coolest and most beautiful 14 year old girl in the world would want to do that.

at the end of the day there are so many cool and great things about the show and also things that age poorly, one if which is that this is a show made by two dudes in the early 2000s so of coooourse the main boy gets to kiss the girl at the end. he's wanted to kiss her for so long and he saved the world he deserved to kiss her now.
