Let's talk about the NWT laws about women and waterbending

This is going to go into a bit of religion here, so you've been warned.

Also, I finally got out Yee Old Computer to play around on for a bit. Faster typing, ya know...

Okay, lets start with the whole 'The women seem to be fine with these laws' and go from there.

I don't think they are 'okay' with the misogynistic laws. Not when the laws have been there to indoctrinate girls from a young age for centuries. It's more like they don't have a choice. I say this because its evident in the real world today. There are hundreds of religions that practice this same type of indoctrination around the world. It's one of the reasons I absolutely hate religion in the first place. But besides that point, even in America there are some places that practice this same misogynistic monologue. Some of them are well known.

SLDS is actually a prime example of this. There are women in this religion who are given no freedom to speak their mind, or even a choice on who they can marry. Some are even married to older men as pre-teen girls. This religion is all Patriarchal. The men make the decisions and the women have no choice but to follow. They aren't 'Okay' with it.

I've had the chance to stay in an Amish community for a few days while horse shopping in Southeastern Kentucky. The people are nice, but the women are almost always kept where they can't be seen by others. Both my friend (who is a retired social worker) and I were not okay with how the women are treated.

Point is, there is no choice.

Which is why when Katara comes to the NWT, she changes the conversation in a big way. Her place in her tribe gives her independence and validation. Especially when she is the only waterbender in her tribe. Even though the SWT started out as a NWT colony, their laws are completely different. It changes the dynamic between her and the principle leaders of the tribe she doesn't fully understand. The tribes have been out of touch for so long that both are virtually unrecognizable to each other. This happens with all cultures when they split off.

But Katara having her independence while Yue, in contrast, has to abide by tradition makes for a wonderful dynamic. Katara with the ability to choose for herself and fight for herself makes the story all that more interesting. But there is this little problem...

The silence of the women in the NWT.

In the Netflix adaptation, we see a change in narrative from the OG show. Katara advocates for the women of the NWT to fight because they aren't allowed. She does this after she proves herself to Pakku and to the leaders. Once this happens, she is able to change the narrative. She is able to change the outcome of several lives.

I'm not going to go into Yue's bending with the NLA, but it really doesn't affect the story all that much. However, Katara speaking up for all the female waterbenders does have an impact. The women are suddenly given a chance to find their voice, to make a change that Katara started. Something that doesn't happen much in the real world today and often comes with consequences. Namely disownment from family and no support.

Which is why I love that part of Katara's journey. It's not that the women suddenly want to fight. Maybe they've been wanting the chance for a long time, but because of consequences, they can't.

Sometimes it does take one person from somewhere else to start the conversation for change.

Okay, I think I've gone on long enough, but hopefully you get my point.

I tend to take these things across platforms when I do them. But, this could not be more important. We have to halt this slide into fascism.

message from santa: "happy holidays post-it-notes! 🎄🥳 i know you very politely only wished for a few modest things- characters high fiving, or struggling in christmas attire- but i hope you'll still enjoy this given that i kinda went the opposite direction entirely! i'm an enormous fan of your work and most times you post anything i wind up browsing your art tag from tip-to-tail in enraptured delight. as such, i thought it was only fair i give back something a little more significant in gratitude for all the joy your work has given me. i knew i wanted to do a comic, so i was thrilled you already had a whole storyverse for me to work from!! this scene seemed the most obvious choice (chapter 8 of "wishful thinking" on ao3) given that i enjoy a dramatic fight scene 😂 i tried to stick as beat-by-beat to the writing as i could and worked in as many details as possible; i hope it'll be fun to see it envisioned this way! merry christmas! ~starflung 🎀🔔 "

#phew... this is by far the most ambitious piece i've ever posted here! 12 pages! this is why i've been so afk from other work haha! #shout out to the poor mods who sent through assignments and received no small amount of all-caps panicked screaming from me in response!! #me?! draw a gift for THE post-it-notes7!? immediately knew i had to overachieve to stand any hope of being up to the bar haha #if you feel these characters look a little different to how i usually draw them- that's totally on purpose! #i worked really hard to match post's designs and styling for them rather than my own; seeing as this was a gift! #actually think it stands out a *lot* surprisingly- given that they are still the exact same orbs. really interesting to compare to my usual #i hope some folks will notice all the details from the story in here! if you've read it and you recognised it please let me know! #genuinely hoping someone just recognises it on the first page. iconic canyon fight... what an honour to draw for this fic tbh #also thank you to the mods for handling all the wips and progress on this ridiculously sized entry from me with such grace #it's being posted on my personal blog due to length for anyone wondering. should be seamless... fingers crossed. #my art #my comics #meta knight #galacta knight #hnk secret santa #cw violence

You know what I want to see in S3?

I want to see Aziraphale get PROPER angry. I'm not talking the passive-aggressive "I'd like a proper apology" Aziraphale or the "apoplectic gay" Aziraphale.

I mean true, real anger. The kind of righteous fury that storms across one's face and alters one's voice. The kind of deep-seated rage that rises from the bowels of one's soul and spits cold fire from one's mouth.

The kind of anger that makes one stand firm and declare "no more."

#I need this for him #I need it so bad #He needs it too #And so does Crowley #Crowley deserves to see Aziraphale standing up for himself and shouting “No!” in heaven's face #good omens #crowley #aziraphale #good omens s3

MYSTERY MAN

starring itoshi rin!

synopsis: you decide to go watch rin's football practice for the first time, much to his delight. his teammates struggle to figure out who you are and what you've done to their usually very grumpy rin.

requested by @checkoutmyflow! i hope i did your rq justice ^^

notes: first time completing a request! sorry for the wait >.< ALSO this is gn!reader :)

admittedly, you weren't much of a football fan, even though your boyfriend was a professional college player. you didn't really understand the sport, as you hadn't played it since second grade gym class, but for some reason, you had decided that today, on this sunny tuesday afternoon, you were going to drop by rin's practice alongside a football-for-dummies book to watch and hopefully learn a little about the sport he was so enamored with.

it would appear that they were in the middle of a practice match, as his teammates and him were wearing different colored pennies, and there was someone keeping score on a whiteboard.

you sat down on the bleachers quietly, not wanting to distract anyone from the game. your eyes scanned the field quickly, almost instantly finding rin's unique dark green hair. you tried your best to keep up with what was happening, quickly flipping through your book whenever someone did something cool to try and find it, but it proved to be quite difficult, and you found yourself very confused at the sport's intricacies.

despite your lack of understanding, the one thing you could observe and comprehend was how alive rin looked whilst playing. he was sweating, shit-talking, and scrambling around the field non-stop, clearly very tired, but his eyes had a certain glimmer to them that you didn't get to see often, and he moved around the field with immaculate grace and precision. you watched as he skillfully maneuvered around the field and how he seemed to be able to calculate exactly where his opponent would go. you didn't have to understand the sport to know that this field was a place where itoshi rin shined like no other.

rin took hold of the ball and began dashing across the field with it, his shiny hair blowing behind him. his eyes began darting around the field, his brain taking in and calculating every factor necessary to victory.

his brain certainly didn't expect to see you, his lovely s/o who knows nothing about football, sitting on the bleachers.

your eyes made contact for a brief moment before rin tripped over his own feet and flew forward, making literally everybody on the field stop what they were doing.

a brief moment of silence washed over the field before laughter soon took its place, his teammates jogging over to him asking if he was ok, and what the hell just happened as they howled in mirth.

he grumbled some excuse with red cheeks as he looked away, clearly very mortified. his coach decided to call a break, seeing as everyone had already stopped playing, and he grabbed his water before practically sprinting over to you.

"y/n," he breathed as he came to a stop in front of you, puffing a little from fatigue. "you're here."

you giggled. "hi, rin. i thought i should come watch one of your practices. i want to get to know all the aspects of your life, after all."

he leaned in closer to you to brush his hand against yours as you two chatted a bit. anyone could see the way his eyes softened as you spoke and how his shoulders relaxed at your every move. anyone even being his pretty-damn-stupid team.

in the distance, bachira, isagi, chigiri, nagi, and reo murmured amongst themselves, wondering about who you were - the mystery person mr. im-better-than-you-and-grumpy-all-the-time rin looked so happy to see.

"his sibling, maybe?"

"nah, i'm pretty sure sae is his only sibling."

"oh! what about his parent, then?"

"dude, do you have eyes? way too hot to be a parent."

"his lover, maybe?"

there were a solid 5 seconds of silence before they burst out into laughter once more.

"get out. itoshi rin, an s/o? no way in hell, dude."

"i doubt he could even keep anyone for more than a month. they'd get tired of his attitude real quick and leave just as fast."

"rin-chan probably isn't capable of loving anyone, after all."

despite their adamant denial of your relationship with rin, they could all notice rin's demeanor. he looked happier, more at ease, gentler, kinder, and overall, he looked like a normal person. who were you, and what had you done to their rin?

coach blew his whistle, and they watched as you gestured for him to get back with his team. they then watched with their jaws on the floor as he, itoshi rin, POUTED and SWEETLY PLANTED A KISS on your forehead before jogging off.

they all exchanged looks of pure shock as rin jogged back to them.

they all gave him a shocked look as he raised a brow.

"...what?"

I think as a fandom everyone who has a version of jonny who doesn't look like the canon version of him (aka creature jonny <3) should have then all meet like some sort of fucked up doggy playdate.

It would go horribly but also I like to image it and laugh

#everyone standing around shouting “not friendly!” as our jonnys try and maul one another makes me smile #im holding my jonny like hes a big cat and hes all growling n hatting it #can you tell ive been in fandoms where people had their versions of a character meet up n interact before? #man i should go to bed its almost 1am rn lol #jonny d'ville #the mechanisms #the mechs #pbr talks

in the amelia pond au, amelia’s aunt does still send her to therapy between doctor adventures, but since amelia is now secure in the fact that he’s Definitely Real since both rory and mels have also met him and because she lost a tooth last week from tripping on the stairs of the tardis, she doesn’t bite any therapists this time around. and besides, her therapist is a very funny lady. she reminds amelia of her doctor, with how her voice will flip and jump in volume and accent and tone on a whim, with how she’ll talk to amelia like they’re conspiring together. she keeps the pictures amelia draws of the doctor and their adventures for her, even hangs one or two on the walls. she listens very intently to every detail, which no adults in amelia’s life do save the doctor himself and river song, whenever she’s around. and best of all, whenever she tells amelia’s aunt that amelia is doing just fine, don’t you worry, she’ll grow out of this, she winks at amelia so that amelia will know her therapist is only playing along to wave away her aunt’s suspicion.

it is a little odd, though, that she insists on only being called Missy. but amelia is quite used to odd by now.

#not the point of this post but. please do imagine amelia and rory and mels and the doctor all having escaped from Real Actual Danger #rory has the energy of a cat with its fur all puffed up and looks like he’s either going to start crying or yelling at the doctor #mels is standing on the box the doctor got her so she could see the tardis console better and studying the way he flies it very intently #and amelia is still full of energy and adrenaline and can’t stop racing around the tardis like a hyperactive gerbil. because if she stops #she might have to be scared instead but if she can run long enough she’ll forget to be scared at all and when she collapses exhausted all #she’ll have left are the exciting happy memories #and then she misteps racing up the stairs. shouts! the doctor and mels and rory are all at attention immediately. mels moves first but rory #is closer and helps amelia back up. and then the doctor is crouching down in front of her. ‘let me see. oh that’s a lot of blood. that’s. #how much blood are you able to lose again? its more than this. probably.’ amelia’s whole face hurts. but the doctor’s rambling is familiar. #it helps. and he’s only so talkative when he’s sure he has a solution. besides. rory’s head’s nestled on her shoulder and mel’s got her #hands. the doctor wipes blood off her nose and her chin. tilts her head up and goes ‘aaa’ sticking his tongue out until she does it too. #and he tells her to feel her upper row of teeth with her tongue. she does until she finds the gap. #it still hurts. hurts more when she nudges it with her tongue all bleeding and raw. but she just lost a tooth! and you know what that means. #they have to find it. or else how will the tooth fairy leave her any money? #(the doctor hears her say that to mels as they search. and he glances off to the side and makes a note to go back and make sure it *was* her #aunt leaving her those coins. and not something else. which he does. and finds out her aunt wasn’t leaving her any coins at all. #he can’t just let that stand! so the doctor becomes amy’s tooth fairy as well.) #and that is how amelia loses a tooth on the tardis. #amelia pond au

cannot stop thinking about lupa and juno's reactions to jason's death. god did juno feel it when he died? did she hear his string get cut? did she wail loud enough that all of olympus heard it? what was it like realizing the boy she loved like a son was dead? was was it like watching his father not even shed a tear? was she the one to tell lupa? and on lupa's end, how angry do you think she was? this is her pup. her youngest pup. he was so young when he first started, when juno first gave him to her? he learned how to roughhouse with her packmates. he learned to fly with her! did she snap at juno? did she scream and curse and blame juno? did she howl mournfully?

#these are his moms!!! #not very good ones but his moms nonetheless!! #when he fought krios do you think he heard their voices in his head encouraging him #'victory or death jason' lupa says in head 'die like a roman or don't die at all.' jason picks up his sword again. #krios knock his sword out of his hand and jason bares his teeth. that's okay. he doesn't nned a weapon to fight #he wrestles krios to the floor and the titan's throat is bared and it would quick and simple to rip it out but he hesitates. #normal people dont do that. his head pounds. his lady's voice exhoes in his head 'go for the kill always my champion.' #jason leans down and clamps his teeth around krios' throat and rips it out. the titans gasps pathetically underneath him #it's not enough. he can already see the wound beginning to heal so he digs his fingers into the wound and starts pulling #the neck rips quickly once he gets started and he snaps the spine as he goes. finally with one last tug the head comes clean off. #he stands up from where he's kneeling over the body and picks up the head by its hair turning around to face the legion. #there is ichor staining his mouth golden. it drips onto his armor. he lifts the head up high. the legions stares at him in shock and awe. #they look terrified he notes absently. 'VICTORY FOR ROME!' he shouts and the campers explode into loud cheering. #sorry what the fuck was that #jason grace #juno pjo #lupa pjo #hoo #hera pjo
