Episode 6 and 7 thoughts
This will now be a regular thing
Also im writing this as I go
Episode 6
So Izzy thought Ed was Roach. Huh. Does he and Roach talk regularly? <- Coming from a Rizzy shipper
“Do weeeee?” Fang I love you
Oh my god, Frenchie and Jim coming to Ed and Stede like they’re kids asking if their cousins can sleep over
The crew going shoppiiiiiiiiing!!!
Frenchie’s lil dancey dance added many years to my life
Ed being nice and giving kids mon- oh never mind, oh that’s a knife okay. Ed never have kids please
“Don’t pirate kids” well listen okay I don’t have HBO Max it’s the only way I can watch this show
MY QUEEN
Wee John you’re so beautiful and amazing and we don’t deserve you
Jim’s lil mustache, like yeah me too <- Non-Binary person
Stede looks so happy about seeing Wee John!! He’s so proud of his son!
Izzy is gorgeous. I’m actually so happy to see him explore more sides of himself, and to find things he can indulge in. This whole season has really just been Izzy’s big therapy arc
His hair makes him look a bit like Cinderella’s evil stepmother though
Oh he can sing too! Izzy!!! <- A person who did not like Izzy in season one
Wee John X Izzy? Roach X Fang?
YO THE
POLYCULE DANCING?!
Ed protecting Stede….just, immediately putting him behind himself…I just…
I rewatched that clip five times
“Because I only hang out with cool pirates” Stede’s face!!! He’s just like Oh Snapppp
Despite it all, Stede and Ed are still the cutest couple that has ever graced the TV screen. Like hell yeah, make fun of people together!
Ed keeps being protective…..okay I need a moment…
Roach you’re a lunatic and I love you
“Whatever this is it’s just gonna turn me on” Izzy you’re a shining star
Also I just now noticed that Black Pete and Lucius aren’t there. I’m guessing they eloped somewhere and are currently taking care of their adopted cat
Nope okay, literally the second I unpaused there they are. That’s the worst timing
Hell yeah my dudes, I hope you broke whatever bed you used
“I’m just doing it for the lolz” Yeah that’s sounds like something someone from the 1700s would say
I know this is a pirate ship but why do they just have so many knives and swords laying about
Who is this fanged torture queen, and how do I acquire her number?
Stede remains best employer, while Aziraphale is the best landlord. Can these two people just run the world please and thank you
Hell Cat Maggie is my soulmate
I feel like there needs to be a pirate workers union
The crew of the revenge is the best found family of all time
Stede Bonnet can rival Steven Universe in reforming villains, like he’s just such a genuinely nice dude
“Alright gang! Let’s talk profit sharing”
Oh protective Stede, alright let’s go mate defend your mans
Okay but why is Stede kinda 👀 in this scene
Oh Stede, love…
OH THEY FAWHKING
That French? Izzy speaks french?
I want to see that man get dicked down
I guess the revenge now has a pet goat
Episode 7
Okay Ed is a soft boy again, aight
NO NOT THE LEATHER JACKET
The anime toast in mouth thing. He’s officially been baby girl for a long while, but we’re really solidifying it
OH THEY FUCKED
Isn’t there an anime where a mob boss becomes a house wife? Yeah that’s Ed
Oh we’re telling him about the mermaid fantasy, okay
Izzy what the fuck, you’re amazing
“He’s jealous” my darling
The polycule is going strong, and I love the absolute lack of jealousy. This is the best representation I have ever had
Oh they’re going on a date! That’s so sweet actually
It’s really sweet that they’re talking about their time apart
Stede’s famous now? Good for him!
I need to stop falling in love with every pirate lady In this show. That being said, I hope we see more of the fangirl lady
I’m reinforcing my claim that Stede and Ed are cuter than anything that has ever been on screen
OH MY GOD SWEDE
The Söt Och Saftig, my love. Also this far in and this is the first time the character “The Swede” actually says something in Swedish
Scammer Frenchie is back in business, love that
Jim and Archie trying to get their boyfriend set up is very sweet actually
The character development of Izzy going from wanting Ed to remain “Blackbeard” to him saying if being a softie makes him happy then he should do that, like I get it now, I know why you all love this man
OH MY FUCKING GOD STEDE
Can’t believe Stede is an official Slut now
Open communication? Like genuine conversation about their relationship, and the pace they’re taking it? Ed being honest that he’s not ready for the steps they’re taking in their relationship?
What is this argument
I live for Lucius and Black Pete’s nicknames for each other
“I’ve only known you for a few hours Bonnet, but I’d fucking die for ya” Same random dude. Same
Izzy🥹
Zheng and Olu are really cute actually
Oh my god the polycule will end my fucking life
DONT BRING ED INTO THIS ZHENG
“That was really mean” YOU TELL HER STEAK KNIFE
Protective Jim my beloved
Oh my god
Roach and Fang friendship?
Roach is the queen of self care

Episode 6 thoughts babey,,,,
Here are my thoughts on: episodes 1-3; episode 4 and episode 5!
Things I like:
Okay I see we’re starting off with emotional devastation write off the bat with a Zuko flashback. Dallas does a good job at portraying now-Zuko and before-Zuko. HES JUST TRYING HIS BEST HE JUST WANTS TO MAKE HIS FATHER PROUD OF HIM!! HE WANTS TO HELP OTHERS AND HES PUNISHED FOR IT!! 😭😭😭
Finally!!!! we are getting more Zuko and Zhao conflict. We needed to see more of Zhao as a villain
June flirting with Iroh is so funny and far better than in the og
anyone: this place is impenetrable. zuko: say no more 😉
oh my god they did the zuko sequence of him taking out those guards to get to Aang so well!
Love the whole zuko rescuing Aang from Zhao it was perfect ✨
Zuko meticulously finding out all the information he can about the past Avatars to the point where Aang says no one else knows this stuff is so important to me
Also I like how Aang and Zuko got a longer conversation than in canon. they had a nice moment there 😌 that will get Zuko Contemplating Treason for sure. Well actually - more treason than what he’s already done (thinking about you: siege of the north)
the 41st division being Zuko’s crew is an interesting choice!!! I’m actually sobbing about it!! To me it’s both a bad and good choice. I’ve explained my thoughts below and in the next section
Despite what I say below, Zuko’s crew bowing to him after they find out Zuko’s actions saved their life is such a good scene. Zuko seeing the product of having compassion and empathy for others as something positive, rather than something he’s ultimately punished for.
things I don’t like:
Zhao’s speech kinda sucked tbh. in the og it was much more grand and terrifying. He's on ground level with the soldiers instead of on that grand balcony. In the original he goats how fire is the superior element, how they're going to raze the Earth Kingdom to the ground. But in this one, it's just not the same level of brainwash-y propaganda-ryness that would have made SO much more chilling
idk but i preferred when Koh was a bit more mysterious and we didn’t really know much about him except that he stole the face of Avatar Kuruk’s lover and like some more vague info that leaves you intrigued about the mystery. like who the fuck is the mother of faces (i know she’s from the comics but still). And why did Roku steal it from him at all? idk im confused
Idk why they made Zuko stand and fight Ozai????? Ozai burning his own child who refused to fight him was a part of the horror of it all. Zuko refused to fight his father and begged for his forgiveness but Ozai still burned him anyway. I guess it still gets the cruelty across and that Zuko’s own compassion is used against him and Ozai is an irredeemable monster, but i still think it’s Not A Good Change.
Like I said above, Zuko’s crew being the 41st is not a bad thing! But I do just want to say that in the original, the attack goes ahead, and presumably, those soldiers die. It’s horrible. Zuko’s sacrifice is in vein and it was always going to be in vain because the Fire Nation as its stands would not allow it. Ozai would not allow it. I think that, like I said, it’s not necessarily a bad choice, but I think it does take away some of the horror of Zuko’s story (same as it does with making Zuko fight back in my opinion). HOWEVER, I do think it’s not all bad. I loved the scene where the crew bows to him - like I said above 🥹
Aang just giving Koh the statue and then all the people are just freed and he doesn’t even say anything wtf 💀
also i was so excited for roku’s appearance but i just thought it was disappointing. stop info dumping!!!! leave something up for interpretation I am BEGGING. “And she is Koh’s mother. Koh longs for the same thing we all do. Family.” maybe i’m being a bitch about this but it just annoys me!!!!!!! stop spelling things out! Koh is so much better when he’s mysterious and unknowable!! why is Roku's whole presence to be here and info-dump about Koh instead of all the meaningful and wise interactions he has with Aang in the original. simply ✨no✨
As you’ve seen from my previous entries, I try to have more positives than negatives but there were some things in this episode that irritated me and that i couldn’t ignore lol hopefully it gets better.... 😅
There were still parts i loved! Aang and Zuko's interactions were great and teh whole sequence of them escaping was wonderful. I likes Zuko interacting with the crew and Iroh trying to care for Zuko but not really knowing how to reach out to him.
On to the next one!

returning to the concept of greed playlists: im actually really proud of the one ive been working on. its not "done" yet, in the sense that i like to make my character playlists go in chronological order and theres still comparatively few songs representing the latter half of his arc, but what ive got so far is very solid in my humble imho. so. heres a big post with all the songs ive got in it so far, particularly relevant lyric excerpts, and explanations for how they fit into my Grand Vision
act i: greed the avaricious
softy by kiltro
there's a boy who stalks these halls, he never leaves and when he talks, he talks a lot always by mistake there's a man who runs the show you never see and where he walks, all our breathing stops, how he quiets things
i figured this was a good one to start off the playlist, it sets up the quiet unease of greeds existence. also starting with a song called "softy" on a playlist about the Ultimate Shield and building everything else on top of that is a move of genius i think
shadow's keeper by black rebel motorcycle club
what is the purpose if you feel so incomplete? what is the reason if it beats you to your knees? what do you keep? your eyes were wide but there's a world that keeps you blind a painted serpent turning water into wine seeking light
hes starting to acknowledge how unfulfilled he feels, and the shadow/light motifs are an extra treat considering he uses the metaphor himself. ive done my best to continue that theme throughout the playlist. especially fun if you take the "painted serpent turning water into wine" as the "world that keeps (him) blind" AND the thing "seeking light", aka father, and combine that with the later verse:
you're begging for the truth but now you've seen too much you're living in your head but never feel their touch and everything was buried by the deep blue sky help me to breathe 'cause I don't wanna see the light just tell me to breathe 'cause I don't wanna be denied
he doesnt want whatever grand plans father has in store, he wants a family that cares about him. truth mentioned also, as well, give it up for the truth
willard! by will wood
i've never understood what humans do and want it's quite confusing to me to try to connect never learned how I should feel, instincts somehow stunted just seem haunted by my stupid urge to protect
replace "humans" with homunculi and you have a whole song about how his chimeras are the only ones who really get him. "being haunted by (his) stupid urge to protect" is also such a greed line
hast thou considered the tetrapod by the mountain goats
and alone in my room i am the last of a lost civilization and i vanish into the dark and rise above my station
he, father and the other homunculi quite literally are the last of a lost civilization. also
held under these smothering waves by your strong and thick-veined hand but one of these days i'm gonna wriggle up on dry land
^these lines make me cry on their own already and when i place them in greedcontext it has an effect
what's a devil to do? by harley poe
oh, when the saints go marching in i won't be there, 'cause I love my sin am i so bad that you hate me? there was a time when i could see my hopes and dreams, they are no more i'm not a rich man, but blessed are the poor oh man, forgive me, i turned away i won't come back, so i'll have to pay
i dont think i have to expound on how this relates to greed very much do i. entire song about your inherently sinful nature making you unfit for your home
act ii: taking on the world
could have been me by the struts
don't wanna live as an untold story rather go out in a blaze of glory i can't hear you, i don't fear you i'll live now 'cause the bad die last dodging bullets with your broken past i can't hear you, i don't fear you now
the tiger! he destroyed his cage! the tiger is out!!!!
i by kendrick lamar
and i love myself (the world is a ghetto with big guns and picket signs) i love myself (but it can do what it want whenever it want, i don't mind) i love myself
hes seen how much pain society has in it at this point, but he still has no regrets about leaving home. for the first time in his life hes starting to fill the void in his soul
i want it all by queen
i'm a man with a one track mind so much to do in one lifetime (people do you hear me) not a man for compromise and where's and why's and living lies so i'm living it all, yes i'm living it all and i'm giving it all, and i'm giving it all
the first of several songs about Wanting Everything because you have to have songs about wanting everything in a greed playlist. but thats not the only reason this one fits, youve got the "not wanting to live a lie" part, as well as talking about giving instead of just taking
raise hell by dorothy
young blood, run like a river young blood, never get chained young blood, heaven need a sinner you can't raise hell with a saint young blood, came to start a riot don't care what your old man say young blood, heaven hate a sinner but we gonna raise hell anyway
hes way past young at this point but theres always room for a Fuck You Dad song
emperor's new clothes by panic! at the disco
welcome to the end of eras ice has melted back to life done my time and served my sentence dress me up and watch me die if it feels good, tastes good, it must be mine
this is maybe The classic greed song. everybody knows its about him. the only difference in opinion with the masses i really have is that even though emperor is in the title it really fits more as a pre-nest wild party era greed song than a greedling era song because at no point during the winter road trip does he get to engage in the songs brand of lavish hedonism. hes too busy being depressed
also its fun that it has the word decapitated in it. when, you know
the man by the killers
i know the score like the back of my hand them other boys, i don't give a damn they kiss on the ring, i carry the crown nothing can break, nothing can break me down
obligatory Toxic Masculinity Song. some of the lines about not taking advice dont really apply here because this is greed "looks to his minions for social advice in the middle of a kidnapping" the avaricious but he does have his weird chivalry thing and also a lot of baggage around his own vulnerability. i also think its funny to put in a song where he brags about his dick
thrift shop by macklemore
imma take your grandpa's style, imma take your grandpa's style no, for real, ask your grandpa, can i have his hand-me-downs?
unfortunately this is definitely a greed song.
mr. pinstripe suit by big bad voodoo daddy
now he strolls through the city like a big ol' alley cat with his pinstripe suit and a big bad voodoo hat i don't believe i ever saw him without a kitten on his hand and no one swings as hard to the big bad voodoo band
the time period doesnt quite line up but the Vibe is there. hes making a name and a reputation for himself and hes looking good doing it
busy earnin' by jungle
you think that all your time is used too busy earnin' you can't get enough
a more uncertain interlude. the melody doesnt falter but the lyrics ask if this is really what he wants out of life. after all, he has a long time, but he doesnt have forever.
everybody loves me by onerepublic
don't need my health got my name and got my wealth, i stare at the sun just for kicks all by myself, i lose track of time, so i might be past my prime, but i'm feelin' oh so good, yeah
this answers the question the previous song posed with a "psssh, ill think about it later"
i want it by viv and the revival
in the stores make it rain 'cause it's wet like a dream (a-wooo) cars, boats, big house, everything in between (a-wooo) i don't know i don't care i don't give but i can share, so i'll make you scream make you believe that you can have anything, anything!
another "i want everything" song that stands out by mentioning wanting someone else to have things too. still not really addressing the uncertainty yet in favor of continuing to fuck around
gimme! gimme! gimme! (a man after midnight) by abba
gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight won't somebody help me chase the shadows away? gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight take me through the darkness to the break of the day
well? give him a man after midnight
i'll rust with you by steam powered giraffe
i'll rust with you i'll rust with every one of you nostalgic nights have got me feelin' its all gone, gone, gone to rust
song about being immortal and watching all your relationships fade away before your eyes as the decades roll past? dont mind if i do
highwayman by the highwaymen
i was a highwayman along the coach roads i did ride with sword and pistol by my side many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade the bastards hung me in the spring of '25 but i am still alive
by this point hes been living among humans long enough to have racked up a considerable number of deaths. but hes still around. he'll always be around. Or Will He
act iii: coming together
red right hand by nick cave & the bad seeds
you don't have no money? he'll get you some you don't have no car? he'll get you one you don't have no self-respect, you feel like an insect well don't you worry buddy 'cause here he comes through the ghettos and the barrio and the bowery and the slum a shadow is cast wherever he stands stacks of green paper in his red right hand
the tone of the song is sinister. within the context of this playlist i am envisioning it as entirely literal. whats up with this weird guy and his red right hand. well he got me a new car so he cant be all that bad. he definitely casts a shadow wherever he stands but you know itd be kind of weird if he didnt
this marks the beginning of his quest to find lasting friends minions. clearly just bribing them wont really work
evil friends by portugal. the man
it's not because the light here is brighter and it's not that I'm evil i just don't like to pretend that i could ever be your friend
return of the light motif and the cataclysmic collision of greeds refusal to lie and his refusal to accept the most basic truth about himself. hes gotten to the point where hes able to recognize that who he is isnt a bad thing, but he still cant connect the dots and understand that he was lied to from the start about who he is at all. so he says shit like this with full confidence
let me bathe in demonic light by the mountain goats
someday the old flesh will give way to the new find a functioning mirror inside and slip right through and there, there i'll be and who, who's coming with me? to show me my one true face when i arrive at my preordained place
the light theme continues, and illustrates the fact that in starting to seek out immortality he's retreading the same ground as father-- making the same mistakes. the hunger, as the lyrics explain, runs "deep in the bloodline". just like father, he cant do it alone, and calls on others to join him, while the lyrics run in direct contrast to the past song by saying the word "friend" multiple times. this will continue
amy aka spent gladiator 1 by the mountain goats
i hide down in my corner because i like my corner i am happy where the vermin play
i might wind up relocating this somewhere else on the playlist at some point but right now the sound fits well in this part so. song about Coping, and not necessarily coping healthily or well. but hes surviving, with his little crimelord hobby
if i lead by kiltro
show me the ways that you talk and all of the places you walk if i lead would you follow? let me at the corners where the light don’t touch colors, figures sway love, they might lift you away from the street to what’s under and everything that scatters by the light of day
weve got light again folks! this ones (very plainly i should think) about recruiting the gang. he asks for their trust and brings them down into the underbelly of dublith.
modern jesus by portugal. the man
don't pray for us we don't need no modern jesus to roll with us the only rule we need is never giving up the only faith we have is faith in us
the Greed Crucifixion jokes are hilarious but this song i think fits very well as a refusal by the nest to treat him as anything but an equal, at least in terms of his being a homunculus. they dont want a god, they want a boss and an ally and a friend.
bourbon street by jeff tuohy
every night we throw this little soiree i'm gonna turn her head until she's mine, all mine every night I breed a new disaster might be right, might be wrong try to get away and i will bring you right along
another party song, this time with hints that being on his side isnt totally safe, and he might not be as in-control as he makes himself out to be. everyones having fun, though. for now!
guys on every corner by the mountain goats
with your tabloid stars and your unmarked cars with your special forces and your inside sources with your radar fields and your riot shields and heavy horses i'm coming to swat you down like flies 'cause i got guys
come at him, government. hes got guys.
act iv: the downfall
alligator teeth by mother falcon
i will turn my friends to gold for the treasury to hold them safely while they dream
a sudden shift in musical style to something way more... i dont quite know how to describe it but its soft at first and then turns frantic and its generally not the kind of music i would typically listen to for Fun but in the context of the events leading up to the raid i think the sound works to illustrate the confusion and fear. immortality, i think, was never just for greed. he wanted to protect his friends too. the lyrics start to repeat "i don't wanna ever dream", and then "'cause all it ever leads me to is bad things, bad things"-- this desire is exactly what gets them all killed.
king rat by modest mouse
we spun like birds on fire right down towards the residence, and i i took all that I desired, even crooks have to pay the rent we swam like rats on fire right, right down the reservoir we took all that we could carry, but we tried to carry more and you know, you know, you know it all went wrong
the musical panic continues into the next song, which describes a burglary gone sideways and perfectly captures the raid. greed tried to bite off more than he could chew and paid the price for it. plenty of the lyrics can be directly associated with the situation-- the "king rat" who "has (greed) on his list again", the "deep water" he's sinking in, the claim that he was "honest even when he cheated them". i dont think id be able to find a more fitting song for this part if i looked for a year
going to hell by the pretty reckless
father did you miss me don't ask me where i've been you know i know, yes, i've been told i redefine a sin i don't know what's driving me to put this in my head maybe i wish i could die, maybe i am dead and he said for the lives that i fake, i'm going to hell for the vows that i break, i'm going to hell
barring any better future options this song has provided the title for the whole playlist-- "redefine a sin". the in-context priest being called father really elevates this one, if the whole premise wasnt enough to begin with. a+ greedsong
heretic pride by the mountain goats
and i start laughing like a child and i mark their faces one by one transfiguration's going to come for me at last and i will burn hotter than the sun
maybe greeds emotional state is a little different from the narrator here, but overall this is a certified Song to Get Put in the Soup To
act v: rebirth
still feel. by half alive
floating in outer space, have i misplaced a part of my soul? lost in the in-between, or so it seems, i'm out of control floating in outer space, have i misplaced a part of my soul? lost in the in-between, but it can't keep me asleep for long 'cause i still feel alive
i can so vividly picture the animatic to this one. greeds little soulface flipping around in the stone. zooming in on fathers weird eyeball as he cries him out and puts him in different guys. the last verse being him coming to life again in lings body. why dont i have 7 million dollars
same man i was before by oingo boingo
i'm not the same boy I was before but I haven't changed my desires i've not extinguished the fires i haven't lost wide-eyed wonder i haven't lost, haven't lost, haven't lost that stupid fear of thunder
AND everyone keeps telling him everything he does is wrong. cut that out
ドーナツホール ft. GUMI by hachi
いつからこんなに大きな | When was it that I got these memories, 思い出せない記憶があったか | These big ones I can't remember? どうにも憶えてないのを | Out of what I just can't recall, ひとつ確かに憶えてるんだな | There's one thing I remember pretty well もう一回何回やったって | Try one more time, a hundred times, 思い出すのはその顔だ | All I remember is your face それでもあなたがなんだか | And yet you yourself, I'm not sure why, 思い出せないままでいるんだな | But I still can't remember you…
this is the bido song. look up the rest of the lyrics its about bido. i searched bido on japanese twitter one time and saw somebody else saying this song reminded them of greed and bido. its about greed and bido
act vi: memories returned
stronger by the score
set me on fire set me on, set me on fire (whoa, whoa-oh) i'm still alive i'm still a- i'm still alive (whoa) bet you didn't think that i'd come back to life
every single line fits him perfectly. youve all seen @humming-fly's animation right you dont need me to explain. if you havent what are you doing
long way down by black rebel motorcycle club
don't you cry to yourself just to feel like someone who's hit bottom? but you can't run away 'cause the hole that remains will follow don't you care just enough? don't you feel your heart stop? but you can't know what you want
after the emotional high of 'stronger', representing the anger overtaking him as he goes to attack bradley, 'long way down' takes us, well, Down. hes is so fucking sad. but he cant know what he wants! now more than ever! because to admit it would mean admitting he lost it!!!
clean slate by the mountain goats
rest until you're rested, climb back onto the caravan remember at your peril, forget the ones you can and then just when you think you've learned how to forget you learn it's just the ones who haven't risen to the surface yet
this is The Roadtrip Song. hes sorting through his memories and struggling the entire time. i owe john "the mountain" goats my life for continuing to make ten million songs about extremely specific situations. ideally id have so many more songs in this category but until i find more this is it for the time being
act vii: final sacrifice
human heart by thao
god damn your crooked mouth and lean your fear is a bullet in the wing is it so brave? tell me, is it so brave? the private posture of the self homemade
with this, we skip ahead to the final fight and the moment when he decides to sacrifice himself. shout out to whoever transcribed "eat and won't you be hungry" as "ethan won't you be hungry" on the spotify lyrics for this one, i dont know who ethan is but i hope he has a good lunch. what was i talking about. oh right
children play with fire by mischief brew
children lead us to the lake of fire (fire!) children lead us to the lake of fire (fire!) and as we drive down into the flames maybe I'll let you hold the reins
change da world... his final message. goodb ye
epilogue
just one more by mad caddies
no necesito la vida rica (i don't need the rich life) estoy contento contigo (i'm happy with you) 'cause in the end we all go the same place, yeah so i'll be happy with what i know
like the title says: just one more. because whatever form it takes, he IS partying it up in that shitty bar in the sky. and all his friends are there too.
like i said i would very much prefer to have more songs in the latter parts so if anybody has recommendations. please rant at me about the songs you associate with greed. and if i can fit them in i will. this post took me all day to make i have got to get some follower interaction out of it

HOMESTUCK REREAD #17: END OF HOMESTUCK (act 6 act 6 act 6 and act 7)
this is it!!!!!! this is the end of homestuck!!!
the song setting the scene for all of these battles that are about to take place concurrently is called creata, and it has leitmotifs from MANY songs in homestuck, as do all of the songs in this 18 minute sequence! also check out this fortnite squad....
Tumblr media
the second song is called oppa toby style... oh man this is gonna be sick.
GOD LOOK HOW STRONG SHE IS SHES BEATING UP FOUR OF THEM EFFORTLESSLY
Tumblr media
roxy my son is fighting so hard actual goat of this section btw no cap you will see later
Tumblr media
of course this part is.... not as important but still certainly something i suppose.. karkat and jake are giving it their all as the weakest members of the squad
Tumblr media
here come the striders and terezi!!! they are about to mix the shit out of these jacks
Tumblr media
side note but not really its kind of crazy how owned dirk gets in this fight he dies like three different times and is saved by dave terezi and jane a bunch . talk about an unlucky break
meanwhile jade is struggling with her dog friends/ enemies and caliborn is fighting his denizen yaldabaoth ( wrdgaf). also vriska is fighting hussie? (WRDGAFX2)
okay so caliborn beat his denizens ass. so called strongest denizen is weaker than caliborn who was beaten by john fucking egbert.
Tumblr media
anyway the current song is eternity served cold but only the second half.. its very good. variation on johns theme for a bit, then into lord english theme.
ive always loved this shot
Tumblr media
davepeta makes an undertale reference.... which i guess was topical at the time. my undertale phase is long gone though. so . cool reference anyway !
last song. heir of grief is starting. VERY good song. love this shit!!! pic of one of the squads... theyre getting roughed up

oh my god... the four original kids and the pictures of their houses from the beginning of the story really reminds me how far they have come... ive been reading this shit only for a few weeks but man it feels like it really has been such a long time since things were that simple.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
cool ass shot of these guys
Tumblr media
oh no!!! theyre getting fucked UP dude shes beating their ass... but who is that back there...?
Tumblr media
to be honest. i am not sure what jade was trying to accomplish in this sequence. she seems to just be teleporting her and the dogs around.... like to get them to stop fighting maybe? idrk but either way they kinda just fight anyway. or at least PM does
i think this moment of dave chopping dirks head off is not really significant for dave as much as it is for dirk. he finally relinquished control for once!
Tumblr media
anyway, PM FINALLY gets jacks ring off, and now he is no longer a threat. its been so long. wow . goat much?
roxy being the one to finish the condesce is deserved. great job. my goat. props to all of these crazy kids they fucking did it they won!!! holy shit good fuckin job!! but we arent quite done yet.
this is beautiful art that is the rest of the comic basically until act 7. i just love these panels so much. one of them has actually been my background for about a year and a half!
Tumblr media
its this one . i really love this one it shows so many of my children look at them all god im so proud of them they did it.... YES!!!! i knew this would happen but im still so happy for them.
Tumblr media
look!!! the mayor and pm reunited once again. its been since before cascade since they saw each other last! and serenity too!!
Tumblr media
this one is a real standout as well... so good i love all of them. am i repeating myself? surely not.
Tumblr media
:))))
Tumblr media
it is time for act 7. the finale of homestuck, essentially. it has been a long and winding road.... only a little left to go :)
LOOK AT JOGN EGBERT I WANT HIM TOBE HAPYP FOR ALL ETERNAL
Tumblr media
a lot of this animation shows the new universe being formed, like the tadpole turning into the frog and stuff. it is very cool, and visually stunning to be honest, but i like to focus more on the characters with my limited images per post. but trust me, act 7 is very beautiful the whole way through :D
LOOK AT MY CHILDREN IN STUNNING HD QUALITY
Tumblr media
THE LOT OF THEM. I SIRED THEM ALL? INCREDIBLE
Tumblr media
do you see how fucking beautiful these kids are and how much they mean to me. i would do anything for them
Tumblr media
holy shit vriska is serving like crazy here. i mean they all are but... okayyy vriska
Tumblr media
look at these two. leaders of their sessions. coming together. finishing. it all makes me tear up a little i wont lie. also this music called overture is fucking beautiful.
Tumblr media
oh man okay yeah. i am really misty eyed here. this never happened before?? god i fucking love this story
Tumblr media
IM GONNA START CRYING DUDE FUCK
well here it is. first view of the idyllic earth c. they did it. they won . they created their universe and they got to live in it
Tumblr media
heres one last squad shot of them all being goated and fucking awesome maybe? ever think of that
Tumblr media
it started with him and ended with him. my son john egbert i love you so much
Tumblr media
okay. its actually over. it feels weird to say but i have indeed completed homestuck yet again. this time was maybe my favorite reading of it other than probably the first time. maybe it was cause of the blogging it? i did genuinely love blogging my thoughts about it. even if no one is paying too much attention, its cool to get it out there :D
overall thoughts? the first part is a little slow to get going, but once it does get going, it's so fun and just a blast to read. things are incredible up until right after cascade where it slows down a lot. which i get. introducing a ton of new characters and essentially a new main villain into the plot can be a lot. i would say that the first half of act 6 is like... a definite decrease in quality? but it starts picking up again when they actually arrive in the new session. and me personally, ive always loved the ending. i know some people were like oh they just win and their plan goes smoothly. like, yeah i get that, but also things did NOT go smoothly when game over happened, and that was definitely the everything goes wrong moment. everything after that is cool and fun and very entertaining to read. i just love this story guys i love it so much there is a reason why it is my favorite piece of fiction and why i constantly come back to it . it is just so good i love the characters i love the concepts the plot is sprawling and self referential and just plain cool . of course it has flaws, namely its villains are a little weak. sometimes i love villains who are just plain evil but sometimes in a story like this i may have preferred a villain who has a little more motive than just being evil and wanting to destroy and kill things... but its alright. the heroes were the main focus anyway, so its not like it ruins the story or anything. i think homestuck goes from an ironic shit post story that makes you feel like an ass for reading it to a heartfelt tale of empathy and self improvement and self actualization. its characters go from asshole kids to pretty good adults. and you can see the writing grow up too. its honestly great and if you know me you probably already know lots of bits and pieces about it and/or i made you read it. but if you dont you should give it a shot. it has NOT aged well i will say but if you can manage to ignore the usage of slurs and probably other bad things i can honestly say it ends as a story about growth and acceptance of the self and others. that is all.......
thanks for reading this to all my friends i had tons of fun
p.s
im reading the epilogues. FUCK

Hey lovely I’m here for the new Christmas ask game! I love Christmas so I’m super excited!
!
Here’s the reading for the ask game:
how a cold winter night would be like with my next boyfriend
Ok so first of all I heard the song neverland by zendaya, listen to this cause this is what it will feel like, super sweet and like you guys just fit together so well in the hug. It’s the type of cuddle that like is so cosy and comfortable you just can’t help but fall asleep. But the song makes me thing about how magical it will be because it will bring you both together and make the relationship more deeper! It’s just so cute and cost. Like I see prior yoy two will be dressed in Christmas pyjamas and like matching having hot chocolate. And just watching a Christmas movie together, like it all way and cosy, there’s a fuzzy blanket and like those cosy fuzzy socks and your both just looking at each others eyes, whilst holding each other on the couch. It’s just so special, and I also heard the song Until I found her by Stephan Sanchez, so I’m feeling like the time I’m picking up on it must be when your both still developing your connection, and your realising you guys are more important to one another then u though, a deeper level of connection - and this is the realisation. I also heard that possibly your next bf could potentially be your life partner - just wanted to tell you what else I got ✌️and then the song right down the line by Gerry rafferty - so year they could be it!! It feels near the Christmas time!
Here are some pics of what I was getting:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pls let me know how the reading was lovely and enjoy!!
🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅
Hi hiii thanks you so much for the reading!!!it was lovely
Heres yours:
Tumblr media
So what im getting is that this moment or being with him at that point will feel like a dream come true. I see you both being very happy and cheerful and full of fun energy wrapped up in a blanket. Just like two fire flies idk why i saw that flying around each other and enjoying each others company.
I saw you laying on his lap on the couch while he's sitting up but also covered up with a blanket and lots of forehead kisses
Tumblr media
You finally at a point with someone where it actually feels so stable, even financially stable. You guys while cozying up, talking might become slightly deeper where you mention past issues and how you ended up finally standing up for yourself and just seeing him really listen and look so proud of you.
You guys may spark up some new ideas or fun dates or just random topics like "I wanna get a farm and have 10 pigs in the yard and 5 goats" ect ect. So much kaughing that it hurts and him just matching your energy. Then I see him picking you up and gets on top and lots of loveable kisses and laughs
Tumblr media
I see him then carrying you to the bed and just having more fun then- oop
Hope you enjoyed your reading and thank you so much for joining the game :))

I had a really excellent day off today. I know I was really upset about daylights savings and it has sort of thrown me off all week, but today I really really appreciated it. The sun was perfect.
I slept a little better. I woke up briefly when James was leaving for work. Gave me a kiss goodbye. And I slept until 9.
The sun was in my face but it was fine. I moved a bunch of pillows and was able to be a little more comfortable. When I did get up I felt pretty good. I was excited to see Callie. And I had time to get washed and dressed and sit with sweetp for a little bit. It was a really nice morning.
At exactly 1010 Callie knocked on the door. Which was very funny to me. It was so nice to see her. She was excited to see the house but we would do a tour later, and went to jump in her car to go get brunch.
I sort of forgot that people do St Patricks day all weekend. Ugh. Thankfully we were out early enough that we didn't actually have to deal with anyone until after our brunch. But I did remember to wear green and she has green nail polish so we didn't feel to lot of place. And the tavern we ended up at was really good! It was in fells point and I really really liked the food. Would absolutely go again.
Because we had reservations we would get to sit upstairs. And we had a really excellent view of the water. It was so pretty.
We decided to order three things and share. I ordered the veggie Benedict. Which has tomato and spinach and a dill sauce. And she ordered the house deviled eggs and mini avocado toast with goat cheese. So we shared all of that and it was perfect.
We talked about camp and life and it was just so good being together. The food was great. The friend was great. I drank three sodas. It was a good brunch.
Towards the end of the hour we were there people started coming in and filling all the bar seats. All dressed up for the holiday. With tutus and beads and hats. Im glad they are having fun but it's kind of silly. It's not even the day?? It's tomorrow?? Really I don't care but when they came in they made the music in there so loud for some reason and we were basically shouting to hear each other. I went to the bar to ask for our check so we could get out of there. And while we waited we decided we would go find a bakery. I checked Google and there was a patisserie around the corner. Excellent. So as soon as we paid we were off!
It was a beautiful day and I was loving being near the water. And it's only a 25 minute walk or like a 10 minute bike ride for me now. I am going to try and make the effort to walk more as the weather gets nicer.
We got a little confused looking for the bakery but I got us back on track and it ended up being such a cute place. I was blown away it was so nice. Like back when I lived in Minnesota there was a patisserie I loved and this had stuff that was so similar! I was really excited.
We each got a pastry. I got a Sakura pink one with white chocolate and she got a marscapone almond flakey pastry. We decided to take them back to my house. I was very excited.
We got back here pretty quickly. It's not far at all. And when we got back we decided to do a little tour first.
I showed her all the different projects we have worked on. The living room I am most proud of because it's the most finished. But it was also really fun to show her the stairs and the paint and all the little things that have been coming together. I am really excited about the whole space.
We would sit in the kitchen and have our fancy desserts. And we chatted the upcoming week and stuff we are excited about. Or worried about. She also told me she was going to hang out with her mom this afternoon. I wish I was hanging out with my mom. Hopefully soon.
We would sit in the studio for a little bit. Watching Gomez and talking about Sweetp, who always gets upset when Callie is here because he thinks it means we are going away. Because she has watched him in the past. But not today. Today I would still be with him.
Callie would head out. Hugs all around.
I would have a busy and productive afternoon. After Callie left I jumped into measuring out the catio. I want to try that started so we can get Sweetp some outside time but also so we can have the windows in the living room open. Because my plan is that it will go for the windows so they can be open and he can go inside and out from any of the windows.
It took a lot of math but I think I had it all correct. I talked about it with James and we would make a plan to go to Home Depot later. So tomorrow I can work on framing it out.
Once that was done I went down to the basement. It has gotten a bit messy so I wanted to clean it up and reorganize some boxes and consolidate others. And it took a while but besides the recycling that's down there, it's much better and I got a lot of stuff put away. Felt really good.
That took a while but I still had energy. So I went to the little room and finally finished putting away the bedding in the bags we have. And hung the curtain in there.
Next I went to the bedroom and went through the closet. Reorganized in there. took a bunch of clothes down to put in storage. Reorganized how things were hung. Made outfits for the week. It was really good. I felt good.
It was almost 4 at this point. I had a pretzel snack and finished up the clothes and putting away a few things from the closet in other rooms. And went to hang out in the living room.
Me and Sweetp hung out on the couch until James got home. I love that I can hear them with their music through the windows before they even make it to the door. Makes me smile.
James had a very boring day apparently and the day dragged for them a lot. They would take a little leisurely ride home to enjoy the weather. And we just hung out on the couch for a while talking about the day.
Before we left to go to Home Depot I had James look over my math and make sure it all made sense. I had a budget in mind based on what I saw online. We remembered a tape measure and my coupon and we were off.
This Home Depot stresses me out. But thankfully it was not as busy as it has been. We found the 2x2s and we needed 18 of them. I was hoping they would be able to cut them for us but the chop saw was broken. The nice worker I found tried to use the panel saw but it was not going to work. James would cut them all by hand. At least so we could fit them in the car. This took a while. So while James did that I walked around the store to try and find the screen material I wanted. No luck. But I know Ace has it so I will try and get that tomorrow or Monday once I have the frames built.
Poor James hands were all cramped up after cutting everything. They had taken a break to let someone else she the self service cart. But would finish up and we went to self check out. Scanned the barcode 14 times. And went home.
When we got home we got eveything inside and I started laying things out while James worked on dinner. Which is when I realized we hadn't gotten the last few pieces we needed. Just a dumb mistake but James decided they needed to fix it. So after dinner they went back to Home Depot to get the last few pieces. They are the best.
While they were gone I was in charge of watching the brownies in the oven. And I worked on writing this post. The brownies are done. And James is home. And I am going to go take a shower and get ready to go to sleep.
Today was a really good day. And I hope tomorrow I am very productive and get so much done. But also just have a chill time. I hope you all have a great night. Take care of eachother. I love you all. Goodnight!!

no, no, it's NOT passing the torch guys.
STOP I DONT WANT TO HEAR IT. RAFA IS NOT PASSING THE TORCH TO ANYBODY, RAFAS AMAZING THE WAY HE IS!! IDC I REFUSE TO BELIEVE IN ALL THIS. Rafael Nadal is not passing the torch. I'm a bitch. I know. I'm being so pissy about it. I know!!!
But how will I ever move on from Novak/Rafa/Roger's era?? Idk, maybe it's just me, but idk how people move on from the big 3 era so fast now that the new era is starting?? Like?? TEACH ME. I feel like such a bitch about it.
I'm happy for Carlitos, I really, genuinely am. I cried for him, I cheered for him and I really like him and i am so so proud of him. But I'm not ready for his era to start yet. In fact, in all of my honesty and truth revealed, I don't want it to start so fast.
I wish the Big 3 era will stay forever and never end. So why and how, are people moving on so fast? Do they want to see it end before they even end it?? all these videos of passing the torch and all this new era shit. Can't we appreciate Novak and Rafa right now while they are still here and still playing? Soon enough, in a blink of an eye, they'll be gone.
They'll be retired and I thought that people would appreciate them more in their last moments. I know they won't retire this time around, though Rafa will next year and I'm still so upset, and Novak will probably retire in like..5 years. Tops. And Andy too.
And soon all the new gen will take over, I'll be fricking 20+ then, and I won't see that familiar face I always see in my childhood anymore. I won't hear about Rafa's latest injuries, and his grunts, and his little quirks that the media love to point out, I won't hear about another Novak drama of breaking rackets, I won't hear about Novak winning everything anymore and pissing everybody off.
I won't hear the Novak fans and Rafa fans fighting anymore, about the goat debates etc. I'm going to miss the fedal posts that are still around despite the fact that there is only one left still playing.
I don't want it to end.
So how are the people I see on Instagram and everything, how are they so excited for this new era to take over and how are they so excited for Rafa and Novak's (and Roger's) reign to end?
IM- UGH.
(I'm just ranting but that's what Tumblr is for okay, apologies)

Any Way the Wind Blows reaction and final thoughts
reaction to rest of the chapters:
OMG THAT BASTARD HOW DARE HE TURN SIMON INTO THE VILLIAN
thank goodness he is immune to magic now cause thats allot of spells being aimed at him
BLESS YOU PIPPA, PIPPA FOR THE WIN
ey look Jamie came around to richards
bruh honestly richards just getting jail time has me put off what if he gets out and he manages to do something else?
WE GOT A KISS FOR AGATHA FUCKING EY EVERYONE IS GETTING A PARTNER FUCK YEAH
im so glad the goats are okay
poor daphne, but look see they just wanted you to come home, it will okay, you’ll be okay
im glad for lady ruth, bless her
pfffffft baz judging nico
btw Nicodemus is prob one of my fav characters i cant explain why
oh hey how nice baz now you dont have to watch simon grow old you can grow old together
OMG IS IT HAPPENING
ITS HAPPENING
YES SIMON THEY IS SFAMILY
OH FINALLY
I KNOW ITS GOING TO BE ALLOT TO PROCESS BECAUSE YOU KILLED YOUR FATHER BUT IM SO GLAD YOU FINALLY KNOW
.....
BOY IMAT WORK HOW RUDE I HAD TO PAUSE EATING MY LUNCH BECAUSE OF CHAPTER 82
poor Penny, shepard cant stay, but you travel back and forth, ofc legally this time or i think shepard might ban you from flying
You’ll get there simon,one day, take each day as it comes
FUCKING AYY I CALLED IT AGATHA BECOMES THE NEXT GOAT HERDER YESSSS
Final thoughts:
So i  know i started this pretty late after its release but i never had the energy to pick up the books to read and i couldnt remember everything of the plot so i just got the audio books for all three of the titles and started over. im still so very much attached to these character and it will be a series i remember for my entire life. I didnt get my devneil ship but i got agatha’s surprise ship and then the best thing to happen was shepard and penny, they overshadowed simon and baz and that never usually happens in a book series that i started reading because of the gay characters. Carry On was one of the first LGBTQ+ book i had every read and so it has a special place in my heart.
i was worried i wouldnt like Wayward son, but it got good and then shepard appeared and it was like having a mor sociable newt Scamander in the party and i loved it. I loved the dragon and water spirit so much.
This book was also very good, i got really irritated everytime richards appeared but that just shows he was well written because i cant stand him. i wont lie fiona is kinda my least favorite character but i was always a big supported of her being a relationship with nico and im so glad it happened they even are getting married Pippa was wonderful when she game into play at the end and i was so proud of her when she did full sentence spell. i love this series im glad for rereading them it
now im going to post this before i fall asleep

*crackles knuckles* if anyone if this is incomprehensive it's because I'm about to pass out BUT. holy hell from what I've seen on dash and read of your threads with Broly it is SO GOOD. the feralness while also still holding that brevity of exhaustion or tiredness is perfect. Your descriptors and dialogue are always so on point and reflect a good balance of thoughts and actions. If there's something to critique on or just in general want to see more of; I think Broly's thoughts on the rest of the Saiyan's, more dad:tm: content, and other similar stuff to that length :> In the end I love seeing how you've really made Broly you're character while also holding the original canon really close to heart. I also love all the relationships he has, also the drama of goats makes me laugh.
Also I'm not gonna just leave without mentioning your N'doul. If I haven't praised you enough on him already, you already know I will now and many times after. His balance of moral and relations with others. I love what you and boba have done with his son, also just any kids he manages to pick up along the way--julya included. You are araki istg when you write N'doul because every word and action he does I could see him doing in the manga. Excellent work. love you Kuro, you're spectacular!

thoughts on sex education season 3
two episodes in
im so here for otis & ruby, the relationship makes both characters more interesting and less unbearable, plus they are so much better than maeve & otis, i can actually ship them.
i love cal. i want to see more of them. it was heartbreaking to see the bathrooms aka their safe space being demolished.
since season one adam has been my favorite character (after maeve), and i’m so happy to see his development. he makes me go 🥺 every time he’s on screen.
eric and adam are so cute. i really hope they work out.
i’m glad isaac told maeve the truth, and while i like isaac i don’t think maeve will be with him. i don’t think maeve needs a love interest this season tbh.
i hope we get an aimee centered episode.
episode 3
sorry viv and jackson, i used to really ship you last season but now i’m cal and jackson all the way
viv is kinda annoying this season so far. it’s in character but like she used to be one of my favorites
i want to fight hope
why do i love ruby now
episode 4
okay i do like otis and ruby but why did this turn into their show? i want to see other characters more!!!
i can’t wait to see hope’s downfall. istg if she’s not gone by the end of the season i will riot.
i’m really liking maeve with isaac. their scene was so sensual and beautiful.
i just really hope otis and maeve both move on separately like they’re doing rn, and never get together. i don’t think they’re right for each other, and they’re just boring together.
ready for paris adventures yessss
episode 5
jean is a queen
jackson on a trip is hilarious
flying feces whyyy
i love adam sm
oh no the girls are fighting
not ola and lilly having a fight over aliens
oh no don’t tell me maeve and otis are gonna find some motel and there will only be one bed
i’m living for adam and rahim becoming buddies
jackson and cal 💔
maeve’s not here? kevin’s not here. KEVIN!
you tell him, maeve. otis sucked last season.
nononono. NOOO. disgusting. don’t kiss. stupid paris.
poor ruby 😭
episode 6
lilly backstory yesssss
vagina cupcakes I WANT
why is aimee the sweetest human being
i wonder if the season will end with maeve going away to the us
i’m so glad we’re seeing more of eric’s family
hope can die in a ditch. she would be a terrible parent considering how she treats her students. *me imagining violently smashing hope’s car to cope* who made this bitch an educator? is this allowed? IS THAT ALLOWED?! poor kids, they’re legit traumatized now
i’m sorry but with this crisis going on, i can’t care about some silly maeve and otis drama
otis DOES make everything worse. fuck otis. i don’t want to see him anymore either.
hell yeah viv. fuck that millennial bitch up.
no, eric, don’t just go away with some stranger. i’m scared.
why is everyone fucking cheating?! is it so hard to keep your tongue in your mouth?
episode 7
ahhh i love everyone working together
omg this bitch is absolutely unhinged
“sex free campus? people fuck in the bushes” is my favorite quote, thank you eric
ruby matthews is officially THAT bitch, she did what i wanted to do the whole season
sucking on my titties is the best anthem. i love this show.
cal and jackson are definitely my favorite ship this season, i really hope they work everything out
the way connor swindells portrays adam is incredible
i need jean to be okay
they’re each other’s mums stop i’m crying
i wish mr groff cared more about his son than about getting back with his wife, like he hasn’t even talked to adam this whole time or made any sort of effort
lmao not A RAIN KISS i can’t believe a ship i don’t care about actually get a rain kiss
the finale episode 8 let’s gooooo
lmao what is this mean girls moment
adam and rahim being besties is hilarious
i’m sad cal and jackson didn’t work out but i get it, i’m glad they’ll still be friends
the maureen and aimee goat adventures
my baby adam i’m- i can’t, why is he getting hurt
why did adam and eric have to break up
not otis building up this absolute bitch that should be in jail
SHUT UP he’s not the father?!
seeing adam happy is everything
proud of maureen for ditching michael
eric third wheeling in the tree house lmao
i feel like this season left everything disheveled, and i’m left feeling empty. it felt more like a mid season finale than a season finale. i enjoyed season 3 but i think i prefer season 2.

I REDESIGNED LIO!!!!! i’ll do a proper full body of him someday but for now have this mediocre half body. im putting his past iterations under the cut because im honestly just VERY proud of my progress as a digital artist in the past couple of years since getting my tablet :]
also, lots of rambling about the development of his design underneath the cut as well! 
Tumblr media
^ 2021 ^
Tumblr media
^ 2020 ^
okay, i had my tablet for longer than just 2 years but 2020 was the year i really began to use it, so i was very inexperienced. even without the digital art factor, im just very proud of my progress as an artist. things feel marginally less stiff, but most of all im proud of how i’ve improved with drawing hair and faces!
by the way, lio still has his extra, ghostly arms!! the ends of his normal arms are supposed to be more beast-like, but i don’t know how to portray those properly yet. 
the changes i made to his design should be obvious when compared to his 2020 iteration! 
- got rid of the eyes on his face. now they’re part of his “primary” halo that looks like a crown
- his facial markings are really fucking vague references to the fur patterns of a cat 
 - his multiple eyes are now part of his primary halo 
 - he has a vest now :] and the markings on it are supposed to look like rib bones (because it's a design that carries on in ceru's design) 
 - mostly i tried making his design a bit more detailed than it used to be
i kinda.......dont know what to do but i really want to add a fur element somewhere to his suit. but i dont know how. i want to add fur because he's a chimera and one of the components of a chimera is a lion. also one eye is normal, the other is a snake eye. he's got.............horns. of something. 
 the wings (obviously he has two but i was too lazy to draw the other one yknow) are obviously.....a bird. 
 i have specific animals associated with each of his split forms, with ver being the lion and goat, reo being a snake, and ceru being a raven. regular chimeras don't have a bird aspect to them but I Do What I Want

Lets talk about Korra (again)
i already made this analysis, and it was well received but i dont know, i wanna do it again. Why not right? My english is better now than was when i made that analysis so i think  this one will be better written
Tumblr media
What a way to introduce a protagonist. This line and this scene tell us everything we need to know about Korra at that time and everything she knew about herself.
In book one Korra is a 17′s old teenager who have no idea how the world, how life is outside the training center she grew up in and had been locked up since ever. So she is not only naive but have lack of social skills
Oh, and not everyone who lack’s social skills will act like Zuko and Azula okay? Korra can be confident, expressive and outgoing and still have problems when it comes to social skills.One thing dont exclude the other.
“I’m the Avatar and you gotta deal with it” did you guys notice that only for that line we can see the entire opposite on how she treat her role as avatar in comparisson with Aang? And im not here to judge because is two very different contexts.
As far as we know, Korra grew up without friends or romantic partners. Of course, she had her training partners but i believe that they are just that. 
So her entarely perception of herself was around her duty as Avatar, she didnt have personal life, she barely was Korra...She was The avatar and thats that.
Tumblr media
So she came to Republic City, it was a mess. 
Its funny to see that she have no touch when it comes to simply talk to people, i guess when you grew up away from society, this happens. And yes, she is cocky and had to learn that people arent there to somewhat please her, and she learned that quicky. 
Thats why the Pro Bending was important for her character, not only for training but also as means of socilization.
Now lets talk about the villains: Amon and Tarrlok
The two of them represents two differents threats to Korra. Amon represents a threat to her duty as Avatar while Tarrlok represents a threat to Korra as a person.
In episode 4 we have what i still thinks is the darker episode from TLOK. In this episode Amon ambushes Korra in the final moments... Even knowing that they did their best to make Amon’s power and control be non-sexualized as possible still...He have her down on her knews, totally helpless and he even invades Korra’s personal space by touching in her face forcing her to look at him. He didn't have to sexually touch her to violate her.
And right after, the fear in Tenzin voice when asking what happened after seeing her laying in the ground like that, and how Korra is sobing in his arms teeling him how powerless and helpless she felt. I mean...Oh, and she keeps terryfied by him until he takes her bending.
Tarrlok in the  other hand doesnt do much different from his brother and started to harass Korra because he cant take ‘no’ as a answer when Korra didnt wanted to join his task force.
Whats interesting is that if it wasnt for Tarrlok harassement and maniputation, Korra wouldnt have joined his task force and wouldnt have confronted Amon and wouldn't have gone through that terrible encounter.
The thing is that Korra is caught right in the middle of a politcal power dispute over the city, something that she for sure wasnt prepare for it. And both Amon and Tarrlok woud hurt or kill her without think twice about it if that means gain  power. And that was exacly what happened
Tarrlok tried to manipulate her and keep her on leash where he could, and when his tatics didnt worked anymore he alreay had a plan B. Yes that whole metal box in that cabin in the middle of nowhere was made especifically for her and maybe Tenzin if he also get in his way.
In the end Korra lost the physical battle against both but won the ethical battle also against both. She was the responsable for expose both of them as corrupted and hypocrites. But at what price? Amon was able to remove the bends of the Avatar. And without them, how could she be the Avatar?
Remember that her entirely conception of herself was built around her duty as Avatar, be the avatar. After all, everything she was, everything she'd trained so hard for, had been destroyed in minutes. Thats why i still strongly believe that she was thinking about killing herself at the end, nobodys goes all sad and crying to in front of a clifft without thinking about jumping from it. 
But she, i think given up the idea and just sit and started to crying when Aang appeared and help her, giving her bendings back in one of the best scenes of the show. So after have everything solve and still managed to get the boy she was in love with, things where great and she “move on”
Tumblr media
In that first half, Korra is unbearable. Everything she learned in Book 1 how to be more mature, less spoiled and all, was thrown in the trash and she was the same "child" of the book one only worse.
Until I stopped and realized that I was also unbearable and childish like this when I had my bad phases of anxiety and depression, as defense mechanism and keep people away. Returning to Korra, and if this way of acting of her was nothing more than this defense mechanism?
Because guess what, i dont think she “move on” from all that happened in Book One that fast, and for add more drama she discovered that was her father idea of keeping her locked up training in that training center we saw in book one and not traveling like avatars before her. No wonder she felt betrayed. And for adding even more drama, people still keep treating her like child, so she was despered for some validation. Something that she found in her uncles arms but she was betrayed by him after.
In the end, Korra again goes through a traumatic experience when she has her connection with past lives destroyed. We see how it affected her when she apologizes to Tenzin, through tears. And Tenzin, as the excellent master he is, tries to motivate her to face Vaatu again (now merged with Unalaq, her uncle) and again she saves the day even after go throught a traumatic event
In the final moments, we see the innocent decision to reconnect the world of spirits and the world of men. And we also see Korra and Mako permanently end their turbulent relationship.
Tumblr media
Book 3 begins in a more mature, we see all the characters being presented in a more mature way and it seems that Korra now has overcome everything that has passed. We have the relationship between Korra and Asami deepening as well
In Book 3, called "Change" we have a great sacrifice from Korra. Her life goes down a notch when she decides to save the new airbenders from Zaheer and the Red Lotus, the only villain until now that really threat her life since their sole goal was to kill the avatar.
Korra won again but this time victory costed way too much. Yes she save the day again but now she was  physically and psychologically defeated. It was too much, she broke.
Tumblr media
Book 4 begins and we only saw Korra in the final minutes and she is unrecognizable. We see that, once proud and courageous avatar, in someone depressed and cowerd. We never have saw Korra like that, even when she was afraid of Amon she wasnt like that.
Korra is afraid of being the Avatar again and her fight against PTSD is still one of the most sensitive, responsable and honest representation of Mentall Issues that i saw, and it was before this subject gain more space on media. It was before people started to give attention to this
I also think that she was having flashs from her other fights and not only the one against Zaheer.
Another thing I think is worth mention is that Korra took 3 years to feel safer and re-embrace her duties as Avatar. It was not 3 weeks or 3 months, it was 3 years. And anyone who suffers from some mental illness knows very well the stigma that is, the fight that is, because everyone wants you to be well faster as possible  when the truth is that many times you spend years fighting against this.  And this is a pressure that falls on you.Imagine, seeing all your friends moving forward while you continue "stock in the same place"?
Only after Korra confronts Zaheer, I think that was a way to show her coping with the trauma, she improves to the point of returning to be the great Avatar we know. I personally still struggles with this scene because put the victim in front of her agressor may not be the best idea but i understand that she needed to see that he was just a man and not the invencible monster her mind was telling her
One of the lines that stuck with me the most was in the TLOK version of the ember island players, the one that made a recap of the show before the finale. When Korra said “I was so naive” just before we watch her narration of her journey, we can feel pain, sadness and strenght. Janet was amazing in the way the delivered this line.
And this fucking quote i saw here on tumblr still is the goat: “The Last Airbender is a story of a boy who becomes a god. The Legend of Korra is the story of a goddess who becomes a girl "
Tumblr media
And I still get really pissed when someone comes to talk shit about  Korra because she is such an incredible heroine and her journey is also so incredible.
The story of how life can be hard and unfair, how it can hurt and paralyze, but there is always a reason to move on. We should always move on.
Korra is definitely not weak, quite the opposite, she is one of the if not the strongest heroine I have ever seen. Korra inspires overcoming
