i don't think that's what anybody's saying sweetheart...this did not eat i fear.

I'm gonna say it. It's a bit weird that the ATLA fandom's reaction to the news "Sokka's sexism was toned down for the live action show" was essentially "how DARE! that's my emotional support sexism!"

#its literally erasing his entire character #and the reason he IS a lot of people's emotional support #because he grows from having a preconceived notion of women #to supporting the women that he now knows are capable in every sense of the word

Well, my exams are over. They've been over for a week, actually.

I held out. My laptop didn't. It split in half actually, with the screen separating from the keyboard.

So, yeah. I'm back.

"dude, midterms are over! wanna hang out this weekend?"

"sorry dude, gotta study for end-terms next week."

#I love myself #so goddamn much #enough to come back with my own intro #anyways I'm back #from my torturous hiatus #Hello to the 50 people that are still here

What's wrong with Gandhi?

Where do I begin?

- Criticized the Jews for defending themselves against the Holocaust because he insisted that they should have committed public mass suicide in order to “shame” the Germans instead of fighting back. His exact words were, “But the Jews should have offered themselves to the butcher’s knife. They should have thrown themselves into the sea from the cliffs. As it is, they succumbed anyway in their millions.”

- Wrote an open letter to the British people in 1940 telling them to surrender to the Axis even if it mean accepting genocide.

- Was very anti-black. I hope you can stomach reading how he treated black people in South Africa. It’s fucking disgusting.

- Refused his wife life-saving medication (for religious reasons), but those religious reasons all of a sudden no longer applied to him when he was in a similar position.

- Refused to have sex with his wife for the last 38 years of their marriage. He felt that in order to test his commitment to celibacy, he would have beautiful young women (including his own great niece) lie next to him naked through the night. His wife, whom he described as looking like a “meek cow” was no longer desirable enough to be a solid test.

- Believed that Indian women who were raped lost their value as a human.

- During his time as a dissident in South Africa, he discovered that a young male was harassing two of his female followers. He responded by cutting the girls’ hair off to ensure the “sinner’s eye” was “sterilized.” He later boasted about the incident in his writings, pushing the message to all Indians that women should carry responsibility for sexual attacks upon them.

- Argued that fathers could be justified in killing daughters who had been sexually assaulted for the sake of family and community honor.

- Believed that menstruation was a manifestation of the distortion of a woman’s soul by her sexuality.

- Waged a war against contraceptives, labeling Indian women who used them as whores.

- Held the attitude that women were simply creatures that could bring either pride or shame to the men who own them.

whoever's pulling the strings when it comes to my life, really wants to make it a villain origin story.

my computer broke last week. the week before exams. the week before the exams before year 11. the end of year exams.

the computer that has all my notes.

i also got in trouble in my compulsory CRE class for saying God is nonbinary.

"dude, midterms are over! wanna hang out this weekend?"

"sorry dude, gotta study for end-terms next week."

it starts off with zuko wanting to win her something from the darts stand, and it takes way too long, so she grabs them and wins for herself.

zuko gets sulky, 'cause he really wanted to give it to her as a present. she apologises by giving the plushie to him.

he loves it. he wants more plushies.

I’m sorry, but Mai is the one winning carnival plushies for Zuko

Just saw a TikTok where this bi woman was like,

‘I’m a woman-leaning bisexual and you know what pisses me off? The fact that I’m dating a skinny white man and I love him and I’m happy, like what the fuck.’

And I just have to say. What pisses me off as a bisexual woman is that TikTok.

This is the Woke version of ‘my wife is the ol’ ball and chain, doesn’t it suck to be married,’ jokes. It’s not funny. Your queerness is not negated or tarnished by opposite-gender attraction, dating men isn’t inherently worse than dating women.

Love your partner.

Cherish them.

For fucks sake.
