He could've been a Tumblr sexyman. He deserved to be a Tumblr sexyman, and we deprived him of that.

I believe one of the reason's why people are suddenly so appalled by A/ang & Katara's age difference in the new Netflix Live Action Adaptation isn't because they aged up Katara from 14 to 16. It's because now, we get a visual representation of their age and maturity difference and it's striking.

With this I mean, in the original ATLA series, since the series was animated and the animators needed to create a consistent art style amongst most of their characters, it could be argued that Aang and Katara looked very similar in age. Yes, we had their height difference and Aang, in Season One, seemed a bit rounder - but by Season Three, Aang was close to Katara's height & had a build that wasn't on par with Zuko's, however, he was lean. He looked like a teenager. He looked like every other male character in the show.

Katara developing romantic feelings for him doesn't seem too implausible in the animated series. At the end we see them kiss and we don't immediately question their age difference because they look similar in age.

With the Live Action adaptation, Aang's actor is Aang's age, so is Katara's. And you look at these actors and you think to your self... there is no way an adolescent girl would ever fall for a pre-pubescent child. It's unrealistic.

Because you compare Aang to Sokka and Zuko, the other teenager male characters, and you can see the difference. You can distinguish an adolescent from a child.

Then you analyze their relationship and Katara's maturity that resulted from the hardships of war - and you suddenly find yourself struggling to defend any romantic relationship between these two characters beyond Aang having a harmless crush on Katara.

If we saw these two actors kiss at the end of the series we would immediately find it odd (perhaps a bit concerning) because it's a visual representation of their age and maturity difference. They look like a teenager and a child. No sane teenager would fall for a child.

Does this even make sense?? I'm just rambling at this point and I have no idea if my thoughts make any sense 😭😮‍💨

Been on an ATLA animated series rewatch lately and the storm episode in S1 ATLA has me STOMPED BC IT NARRATES THE DARKEST MOMENTS OF BOTH ZUKO AND AANG'S LIVES PARALLELLY-

(SORRY I KNOW THIS MAY BE OLD NEWS BUT FOR SOME REASON I THOUGHT THESE WERE SEPERATE EPISODES BUT NO.)

But Oh, the parallel of an airbending boy who ran away from his destiny vs a firebending prince who rushed towards it too soon. With both ending in a tragedy where they were left alone grieving what they've lost..

I believe they're more of the Yin & Yang Duo of the series. (I know ppl associate that with zutara or something but they're more alike than people seem to think 🤔)

#MAN PEOPLE FOCUS ON SHIPPING TOO MUCH IN THIS FANDOM TO CONCENTRATE ON SOME OF THE HEARTBREAKING PARALLELS IN THIS SHOW SOMETIMES. #seriously HOW DID I NOT SEE THESE AT ALL THE LAST TIME I WATCHED IT? #atla #zuko #aang #atla meta #? #??? idk #kay rambles #kay speaks #kay's personal shit #THIS WAS MY FIRST FANDOM.

Sometimes when I think about aang story, despite how much he had won, how much he had overcome, his story still read as a tragedy to me.....

The things, culture, history and people he had lose... The memory only HE could carry for so long... The weight of the world on his shoulder, the legacy he had to live up to, the teachings he have to passed on.... And yet he's the only one who well aware how he's just a human underneath it all...

He's just a kid. He's just one person. The last of his kind.

And he died young... And he carry the very last memory of the airnomads with him. One where the world after him won't ever experienced or known as well as he did.

#Sometimes I wonder if the writer ever known just how tragic aang story is #The rest of his friends get to see his reincarnation.. But then they can never get to see him again as the cycle broken. #Have any of you ever think about aang is also the very last avatar in the old cycle.. Have you? #venus rambling #atla #aang #I have... A moment..

I'm gonna be so real, I had a dream about Zutara last night and it made me so viscerally angry that I made this blog as my own personal comfort so. Yeah.

I think mai could develop complicated feelings towards ty lee's decision to leave for the circus. on one hand she'd be happy for her, but also envious that she's able to get away while mai can't. and I think, maybe, she could also hold the slightest bit of resentment (and maybe even sadness) towards her, not for leaving the court behind, but for leaving her behind. I think the main thing it would depend on is if ty lee told her she was leaving, or if she just. left

I'm letting this break discord containment:

Spurred on entirely by Dum Dum MV

thinking about this stupid mv again. I kinda want enemies to lovers thing where this unhinged Kim is in this fun little competition with a neighboring drug lord's little brother.

At first, Kim just thinks he's a little twink that gets free blow and all the guys he wants, but when he finally catches up to him and holds the gun up to his face instead of the scared little boy he thought he was, chay just looks him dead in the eyes, while smiling and licks up the side of the barrel and then turns around and runs away while giggling. It makes Kim want to kiss kill him even more.

drabble under cut:

It's been a couple weeks since Kim has seen that blasted twink. He's been out of the province on another one of his father's quests, so when he's back in town he goes fishing for a good lay. He finds a nice girl, and they skip dinner and all the formalities and sleep together at his apartment. Stupid, Kim knows, but he needs to unwind its been a while.

The following day the sun creeping through the usually dark windows wakes Kim, the girl was already gone. He gets up and does his normal routine, but when he gets ready to leave he notices his boots are gone. Oh well he thinks, he'll just get another pair, but they were kind of growing on him.

Now that he's off for at least a week, he decides to check in on the family business, the clubs. He picks one of the darker, fun ones.

He's been in the vip suite overlooking the dance floor for a while now already a few drinks in when he notices someone on one of the Lyra hoops. Not unusual for amateurs to mess around on them when the aerialists aren't performing, it's allowed. But something about the short skirt kid is the boots on his feet as they kick up in the air. The same boots, it appears, as the ones the girl stole from Kim earlier that week.

The boy leans back and Kim realizes who it is: Chay.

Kim watches the kid as he twirls on the hoop with clenched fists, the glass in his hand shaking. He's actually pretty good at it, even with the heavy boots and sub-optimal clothing. Something stirs deep inside him, (and maybe in his pants.)

He's two seconds away from jumping up to go after him when he sees someone reach up and grab Chay, scurrying away with him. Kim tries to track them through the crowd, but there are too many people.

The glass shatters as Kim launches it into the wall. He's going to get that kid, even if it's the last thing he does.

Zutara, because why not? xD

I had to go looking through some clips and read through episode summaries again to refresh myself on the show’s events and now I just want to watch ATLA again 😭

This might be surprising considering my usual shipping habits but I’m fairly ambivalent to Zutara. I did think their dynamic was fun though, even if I didn’t ship it.

1. I love that she’s the first person to trust him in the cavern scene and therefore mistrusts him the most out of the gang later on because he betrayed her then.

2. Their little revenge quest was really good! I love that he offers to help her kill her mother’s murderer purely as an olive branch gesture (iirc at least?). That’s kind of unhinged! But also I enjoy how he kind of opens the door for her to deal with her grief and anger in a kind of uglier way, and to really engage with the idea of simply wanting to hurt someone because of how they hurt you. Which I don’t think is really possible for her to have an outlet for in the same way with the gang— in part because of her own position as the kind and reasonable one of the group. But with Zuko she had the space to pursue revenge without judgment, and then on her own terms come to realize that it isn’t something she wants, without in turn judging him for suggesting it to her in the first place. Which allows him to learn by her example because he also has stuff he feels vengeful about! It’s just a really cool way for both characters to bond and grow together.

3. The last Agni Kai scene is REALLY GOOD! I love that Azula breaks the rules and tries to attack Katara, I also love that Zuko dives to take the lightning strike for her without a second thought. And the way she has to finish the fight for him?? Poetic cinema!!

Send me a ship and I’ll list three things I like about it regardless of my opinion of the ship overall

What I like doing sometimes is imagine that my pain is being caused by a friend of mine, not necessarily the same person all the time. It helps a lot with the dread that comes with it because then it's a friend and its coming from a place of care

whoever created the idea tht associating tswift songs with atla is cringe didnt consider several things. main one being tht its based and fun.

#wanted this post to say one of them being [lyrics from a tswift song i associate with atla] but. unfortunatly tht idea is still affecting #me somewhat <//3 sad! #also i have a feeling this idea is smth iv like. deeply internalized based on a very vocal minorty of atla fans so maybe the reponse to #this post will b very 'jesse what the fuck are you talking about' esque but i have to speak my truth #atla mutuals like this post if u argee it weird to thinks its cringe and emmbarassing. stand with me. #no bc actually part of me is like. not getting back into atla bc of this attitude which ik to anyone other than me seems so dumb #its not just abt tswift btw is abt my interests in general being like mocked nd seen as emmbarassing by ppl around me #nd not wanting to enter a space were tht the case. yk? #idk i feel like ppl see me get defensive abt tswift sometimes and see it as cringe swiftie being cringe instead of like. #someones whos had the unpleseant experince of having ppl make them feel like shit for their interests not wanting tht again #but also maybe no one sees me tht way nd im projecting lol. #anyway !! #flappy rambles

"i've never even interacted with them, lmao" have you considered that you're blocked so it stays that way.

#i keep seeing this on twitter #and it's like #yeah sometimes you block people because of one stupid or annoying take #i think everybody should block everybody actually all of us sitting in the tiniest echo chambers #sometimes i simply don't vibe with the way somebody expresses themself #that doesn't make the way they do it bad it just means we probably don't mesh #and sometimes i simply don't feel like leaving that opportunity open #makes existing online much easier #rambles #not atla

i love saying “i wish i could talk to more people about yugioh and fanfic ideas” but anytime i try to, i just get all melty and anxious

#i live in fear that i’m gonna get something wrong #or embarrass myself #i know so much about it #but there’s still a lot i don’t know #and i hate feeling clueless or dumb #especially when i’m having convos with people #i promise you i’m only smart when i *have* to be #any other time i’m a complete dumbass #i lack common sense sometimes #plus i’m hella insecure about my ideas #(…is this me just beating myself up) #(it is) #(my point still stands though) #(talking to people is hard) #atlas is rambling again

[extrasensoryscholar]

Having an absol helps to reduce my anxiety, while having a Cubone increases my anxiety (Kiran's crying sounds just like the screams he makes when he's injured... and I can never tell which one it is at first,) and with these two factors combined I somehow end up with the exact same amount of anxiety as before. Back to square one.

#Atlas is calm though. Patrols around outside every few hours (enrichment) and otherwise hangs around random parts of the house #'oh doesn't it at least startle you sometimes then?' No. Surprisingly when you live with a pokemon you get used to their presence! Shocker! #pkmn irl #pokemon irl #rotumblr #rotomblr #Alzis' Ramblings
