it bugs me how many lesbians have issues with trans women. like, we're supposed to love women. what's next, you gonna start hating short people too? fuck off.
AND TRANS GUYS. "ooohhhhh they're betraying womanhood" no, they're men. jfc not everything is a personal attack some people are just guys.
reblog this version too actually
I think fanfiction as a medium is different enough from mainstream literature in the tools it offers writers that it's a shame that it's not talked about more often. And it's not me saying "fanfic is better than books xD" because that sort of mindset is a symptom of people who aren't particularly well read in either medium. I'm just speaking of like... The little things you get to do with a fanfic that you genuinely can't really do in an original story.
I had a big fanfic in a previous fandom where one of the big reveals was the involvement of a kind of infamous villain, whose presence was built up to and foreshadowed through the whole fic until his reveal without ever mentioning his name, so that the name drop would be a gut punch. It worked especially well because of who the villain was and his presence in that fandom space specifically (it's very complicated) and if it was an original story this reveal wouldn't work at all the way it was written in the fic. Because if you don't have a predisposition to think about that character and his relationship to the hero in a very specific way, then just seeing their name won't do much to you; the reveal and the recontextualisation it pushes upon you hinges on your previous knowledge of the source material.
I think it's an interesting tool fanfic authors are given. One of my favorite fanfic of all time is partially a re-imagining of its source material's canon, and something it does is introduce antagonists much earlier in the story or deepen npcs' stories. It then works to evoke a tragic irony that again wouldn't work if you didn't know the source material, and it's something the author obviously has a lot of fun with.
You could call it cheap or a crutch and I mean, yeah, sure, it is a little bit: the fanfic relies on previously established emotional bonds and stakes to achieve its goal, and in some cases it saves the author from having to 'properly' build up its stakes. But I think it's INTERESTING that it has that tool at its disposal. I think it's a fun thing to play with and I think these built in expectations and emotional bonds are especially why I find story driven aus in particular to be fascinating in the amount of ways you can play with them. You know??
only real 90s kids remember
really, when I said initially that I was worried that they'd over-emphasized Katara's "Aang color scheme" over his references to her, it's because I can already sense another decade's worth of discourse a la the "why didn't Katara get a statue, is it because her husband abused into a stay at home wife with no accomplisments???" type of discourse (and also because of course Aang should honor her appropriately, that's obvious!)
Now looking at it, Katara wears a yellow string in her belt and a small band at the tip of her braid. Meanwhile, Aang has updated his pendant with blue beads to honor Katara.
The discourse I worried about is already rolling, likely exacerbated because Aang's reference to Katara isn't visible or properly saturated in the like 2 out of 3 leaked pictures we have of his design. It is likely to be much clearer in the actual movie.
If you actually consider it, Katara's design shoots down a whole lot of nonsense discourse that her being with Aang would somehow take her own culture away from her. She is fully dressed as herself and as an adult watertribe woman - she wears blue from tip to toe, fully traditional watertribe clothes and watertribe hair including her own hair loopies. She wears a pelt, she wears her mother's necklace. There's nothing significantly "air nomad" about her design.
The two pieces of yellow bands that honor her husband are mere accessories with no deeper cultural significance, absolutely nothing that marks her as "belonging" to Aang's culture, nor are they diminishing or even interfering with any aspect of her own identity.
On the other hand, Aang's honoring of Katara, while maybe slightly less eye-catching (specifically so in the art that's been released) are actually far more significant representation of Katara as included into his culture.
That pendant is the most spiritual thing Aang wears; it represents his own growth and his attachment to his lost nation, with him as it's sole living representative. He wears it all day over his heart! The fact that Aang added Katara's colors to this item represents how she is the love of his nation reborn. Like Aang really wanted to wear something of such dignity and meaning that represents how Katara is integrated into his very identity and being.
In the film, it's likely to be very visible in most shots that include his face/body, except for close-ups. It's actually far more significant that Aang decided to include Katara into his most significant item, one that specifically represents his own culture so intimately, rather than her simply wearing a few yellow strings as somewhat superficial accessories to her own watertribe outfit.

Wait fuck Homer isnât a god he wrote the fucking thing. Fuck
POST CANCELLED NO ONE LOOK
desperately google searching for âgreek gods to pray to when people notice your online idiocyâ
You're failing.
You donât think I know that, God of Death? Can I pray to you so I can DIE ALREADY
Pluto is Roman, not Greek
?????
Short version is that Pluto is a later name for the god of death, which is often associated with the Roman era/Roman mythology. Hades is the earlier name.
I set up my own house made of sticks and it has promptly fallen on me
HEâS NOT EVEN REAL?????*
I made this post thinking I knew what kind of fire I was playing with. Hephaestus, God of Fire, looking upon me from his fuck off tower or whatever said âOh you think you know? Check this shitâ and promptly set my post ablaze for everyone to observe
Hephaestus doesn't have a tower, he lived in a volcano
FINE THEN. BIG FUCK OFF VOLCANO. WHATEVER

Don't worry, son, you'll grow used to bearing the weight of a name you hate.
Just like me.
AKA I wrote a really niche, really weird Gundam AU (Gwitch/UC crossover) and I'm really proud of it, so tumblr gets a link to it ?
emperors new groove parody where qin shi huang has been turned into an alligator and he ends up on a field trip with local sheriff liu bang. Send tweet.
My hand slipped
For the people who missed my previous post: this is the rare and incredibly endangered chinese alligator. they literally look Like That.
Just in case u all thought i was being facetious. No this also actually happened. Chinese history is just Like That.
naturally First Emperor's New Groove is a work of serious historical fiction concerning important events!!!!!
Tbh Qin Shi Huang being turned into a gator would be the least unbelievable fact of the Chu Han Contention.
âThis magic potion turned the emperor into an alligatorâ -> âhuh i guess magic potions do exist.â
Simple. Straightforward. Comprehensible. Least amount of cognitive leaps to take. Occamâs razor slices through so cleanly and neatly.
âSome random peasant becomes emperor eight years after QSHâs death, after winning a contentious (haha) civil war, and beating out some of the most celebrated military men in history. Despite being a crude, backstabbing scoundrel who pissed in peopleâs hats, he also managed to lay the groundwork for a moderate and (relatively) humanist Han dynasty, which lasted 400 years and became chinaâs first golden age. He stands as a paragon of benevolence (relative) to the draconian Qin rule*. His legacy is so enduring that into the modern day, chinese people still call themselves the Han people, and the language the Han language, while his predecessor QSH (who envisioned himself as the progenitor to an unending dynasty) only managed to create a dynasty that lasted 15 years, and has nothing but crumbling walls and unopened mausoleums that stand as a monument to human exploitationâ <- it this was a work of fiction iâd decry it for being heavy handed and painfully unrealistic.
*its more complicated than that because the best historical sources about the qin were written by the han historians. undeclared conflict if interests and all that.
NOT FUNNY! Delete this immediately or my soldiers will be in contact!
the river sludge is so cool and soothing at this time of yearâŚ
wait this is awesome

God I love Apothecary Diaries. Maomao is like a dog with a mouth full of Lego bricks to me. Babygirl donât eat that
So imagine you go to a brothel and when you get there itâs full of beautiful women but then also thereâs this dog. And when you ask âhey whatâs with the dogâ theyâre like oh the dog, we love the dog, everybody loves the dog, the dog collects rocks from the yard. And youâre like âokayâ but later you find the dog gathering piles of rocks and cementing them into a beautiful river-stone wall to protect the building. And youâre like âI didnât even know dogs could do thatâ. And theyâre like âthatâs nothing, check this outâ and then the dog starts doing multiplication with the rocks. Youâre like âwhat the fuckâ and they go ânahh sheâs just getting startedâ. And they start giving the dog complex mathematical formulas that the dog answers by laying out the rocks. And you go âholy shit thatâs the smartest dog Iâve ever seenâ. And they go âitâs the smartest dog in the worldâ and youâre like âwow thatâs amazingâ. And then you look outside and the dog is eating the rocks. And youâre like âcan the dog eat rocks?â. And theyâre like ânoâ
One day you find out the dog went missing. âWe donât know where the dog went but we miss the dogâ, the beautiful women tell you. A year later the dog comes back. The dog is accompanied by the Duke of wales. âMy gardener stole this dog but now I would like to buy itâ, he says. âThe dog has built me a beautiful castle and solved the viscountâs mysterious murder.â You arenât sure how the dog did that by stacking rocks but youâre still incredibly impressed. The beautiful women are so happy to see the dog again. âDid you know that the dog can ride a bike?â The Duke asks. You look at the dog. The dog is obviously concealing a mouth full of gravel
This is the post that enticed me to watch apothecary diaries and now that I am watching apothecary diaries I am constantly pointing at the very deliberately cat-coded character, whose name is 'cat-cat', and shouting 'this dog can EAT ROCKS?'.
Iâve gotten so many messages about this post because Maomao is EXPLICITLY cat-coded with cat motifs and cat associations with cat jokes but the truth is there was no energy I could think of that captured her baffling aura like a large old farm dog dog eating a rock. Cat eating plastic? Cat opening doors? Cat eating legos? No, she is my grandpaâs very clever old sheepdog who would roll his eyes at you and tiredly and patiently perform very human tasks as you asked him to like a 56 year old underpaid chain-smoking senior retail colleague and then turn around and try and eat a rock. In a world of elegant show-breed cats she is a cat yes but also The Most Dog cat there ever was. And sheâs eating rocks
Yeah actually, one day you give the dog a bath and itâs the most majestic giant Norwegian forest cat youâve ever seen in your entire life. Butâď¸itâs still an absolute FIEND for eating rocks
