WOW, we've been totally FLOORED by the overwhelming positive reception to our first date poll! Blowing kisses to all our fellow horndogs. It looks like we're settling in for an October event 😘

Soooo... please vote for the October weekend you'd like the event to be held on! Since this event includes separate but concurrent events for both commenters and creators, both are now invited to vote! 🗳️

this is purely for fun and I've certainly been guilty of a few of these things myself in my years of fic writing. don't be weird in the notes and don't use this as an excuse to insult someone's writing.

a really defining moment of aang and sokka’s relationship is that sokka literally lets himself get beat up for aang’s amusement and entertainment like a day into knowing him. like he is literally letting aang drop him onto the ground from a not insignificant height over and over again just to see aang smile and laugh. he is putting his own safety and physical wellbeing at risk because it makes aang happy. and there’s a lot we could get into here about how sokka fundamentally views himself and his body as a vessel through which to provide services to others instead of a whole human being in his own right, but what matters for the purposes of this post is that it’s very immediately established that sokka will do anything to see aang enjoy himself, to the point that he will quite literally put up with physical abuse without complaint to make aang happy. so when people are like “it’s crazy how sokka is so smart and yet loses all his braincells whenever he’s around aang,” it’s like yeah, teenage boy adhd2adhd communication will do that, but also a large part of it is sokka contorting himself into an image that he thinks aang will appreciate, because he knows just how valuable preserving aang’s childhood joy and laughter is.

and what’s beautiful is that through actively becoming this person for aang’s benefit, he also actually starts to internalize the sentiment. through the process of letting himself be silly and goofy for the sake of making aang happy, he also absorbs some of that sillygoofy happiness and regains some of his own childhood joy and laughter and sense of wonder he truly thought he had lost forever. he’s not just helping aang retain his childhood, but aang is also helping sokka regain his sense of humanity. the sokka of book 3 is someone who enjoys “wacky, time wasting nonsense” and throws beach parties, a far cry from the sokka of book 1 who thought fun and joy were luxuries no one could afford. his selfless love for aang is also self-affirming, helps him to embrace aang’s point of view, to love himself slightly more than he otherwise would have. because to love aang is to necessarily let kindness into your life; it’s to learn how to be free.

I feel so old when I see the answers to most of the polls (I'm 43) 🤣 Can we do a poll just about voters age?

😂💖💖 ikr, i've never felt more ancient and crumbling than when people tag songs from my childhood as old classics 😅

Narrative Accountability and ATLA

"Accountability isn’t simply seen when a character regrets their past actions. Accountability means that the narrative itself, the storyline, is telling the viewers that what this character did is wrong."

An example of lack of accountability would be if "Designated Hero A" gleefully lit five orphan puppies on fire in episode 3, but the series never referenced that again in its next 50 episodes, despite "Designated Hero A" remaining the designated hero and protagonist of the series.

Please reblog for more votes!
