Hello!

I do not think I will ever cause that level of sheer terror and confusion ever again in my life.

And yeah, I know someone's going to point out how Ozai manipulated his children, but like, that's the thing. They're his children. Manipulating someone who is entirely under your control and does not have enough life experience to see through your bullshit isn't very hard.

@muffinlance is so right. Except instead of a journalist, it would literally be Sokka sitting at the end of the table for a war council, wearing his fake moustache and calling himself Wang Fire.

>about the pressures of societal misogyny and how its bad

PEASANTS! WE'RE HANDLING THIS!

some people on the internet have only been on here for five minutes

i will never get over this one i’m afraid

this shit from the comments is unironically so fucking sad to me. this is where we’re at now? “aren’t books supposed to have morals?” genuinely let’s all just pack it in and go home, we tried the whole “experiencing life and art at a greater complexity level than an eight year old can handle” thing and it didn’t work out, somebody break the news to oscar wilde, we’re done here. “books are meant to teach you something.” christ.

You can elaborate as to how often you feel is a regular amount of communication between an adult child and their mother.

Cosplayers at a Star Trek Convention, 1976

You couldn’t just rewatch the episode to look at all the details of the costume. You got lucky with press photos showing up in magazines or you just watched the episode/movie while sketching furiously

I’m a semi old school cosplayer (started in 2001) so some of the old school techniques are still things I learned on (I’ve sketched from stuttering VHS tapes on pause and used the overhead transparency trick)… what we have access to now for costume recreation blows what they had out of the water just in terms of reference material, let alone specialty costume supplies like thermoplastics and cosplay wigs.
