I think the anon means the monster pretending to be april's mom in 2012
OH YEAH YEHA
tbh they did act as really sick afterwards with mikey being the one to show physical discomfort the most mikey threw up quite a bit lmao but they seem to have recuperated rather fast actually??? in comparison to other instances.
again this might be because kraang stuff don't really act on them to such lasting effect because. mutagen coming from dimension x worm bla bla bla but i feel like they would have grown to hate slimy textures of absolutely Anything as a result of the mom thing

people need to realize that attacking victims is NEVER okay. harrassing victims for statements is NOT okay. DEATH THREATS are NOT OKAY. drake essentially went through sexual torture at a young age and couldnt get the help he needed for what happened when he needed it. it doesnt make what he did okay, but oftentimes abuse begets more abuse, especially for what these kids went through when they did. no victim OWES anyone anything, not statements, not explanations, not reliving or remembering their trauma just because something finally came to light.
these kids trusted the adults on set and those adults either didnt or couldnt protect them, or ACTIVELY HURT THEM.
no one owes anyone ANYTHING.

i think something about the “being looked down upon, abused, and cast out for not being able to do things right and speaking up too much and spending years trying to prove yourself to those people until you realise that they’re the problem and not you” and “finding strength and capability in an entirely different way to everyone else that you have to seek out and discover on your own” aspects of zuko's character that managed to appeal to all the queer and disabled kids in the audience no wonder he’s so popular lol

Found on Reddit. Apparently, Axl was hit by a car when he was only 12 years old. This 1974 newspaper article reported on it.

Sorry-not-sorry I'm back on my normal 'Kevin and Argit were so small' bullshittery.
Because they fucking were. Kevin was twelve when Servantis tossed everybody, and Argit couldn't have been far off. They were middle school aged. 'Puberty would be starting about now if we weren't wandering the Null Void and therefor likely not eating near enough' aged.
A pair of children, with minimal education, no paperwork, no homes, no guardians. Wandering the Null Void and then the Milky Way, on their own. One a prime target for the slave trade, both prime targets for adults looking to take advantage of them (*coughcoughOttocoughcough*). With only as much security as they could provide themselves and each other. Only able to rely on themselves for the basic necessities of life.
And then this show has the audacity to try to tell me that they turned to crime due to poor morality. That they're money focused because they're just naturally greedy. That they don't trust people and look out for themselves because they're bad people that either will always be bad people or will only improve because of the power of Tennysons.
What options were there for them? What jobs are there in the Null Void? What jobs are there in the galaxy that'll hire barely-teens, if even that, with no paperwork or educations, that wouldn't ruin them as badly and pay worse than the crime they already had experience with? Will keep them fed and clothed and sheltered? When one of them already has a criminal record, for violent crimes at that? When there's nobody there to stop even the 'good' adults from taking advantage of them?
The show will sit there and tell you that Kevin's violent crimes were the result of a rough childhood, but he and Argit's non-violent ones? Totally on them, no excuse, wholly a matter of greed and not giving a shit about other people. Fucking bullshit. This is a pair of kids who had to grow up way too fast, up against an existence that saw at least one of them as easy profit, with nothing but themselves and each other, and no opportunities. They're a pair of traumatized kids who grabbed the opportunities available to them with both hands and were molded by the problems they faced.
Of course they're money-focused, unlike the Tennysons they don't and haven't had anybody making sure they had enough to get by. They've had to support themselves and live with the constant worry that something is going to go pear-shaped and they'll have nothing.
They spent years with anybody and everybody being a potential threat (even between the two of them, Argit's noting that Kevin's snapping while he worked for the Rooters was the worst he'd seen 'before or since' makes it quite clear he's seen him on and passed the edge at least as much if not more than we have), of course they're going to be slow to trust, quick to toss people aside, and unwilling to help their enemies without some sort of payout, they've been burned before.
Just- Damnit these two come from some shitty fucking situations, the effects they had on them are obvious if you bother to fucking look, and they both deserved better than the series just going "oh yeah they're assholes what do you expect they're criminals" and moving the fuck on. Like, for fuck's sake at least acknowledge that they're like this because life was a fucking lead pipe to the teeth to them! We know Kevin's situation was shit even before they met, we got to see it, but even if Argit had a perfectly good life beforehand (unlikely) the earliest we see him is being held captive for illegal experimentation purposes by law enforcement! These two have been through shit! At least acknowledge it!
Fuck, they could've replaced Color of Monkey with that, hitting on the differences between how Kevin and Argit adapted to their circumstances, give us upfront the Tennysons being a safety net that let Kevin heal (rather than just 'oh the Tennysons taught him morals because they're the Good People') while Argit's issues and lack of security kept him stagnant. It would go better with what we see of him over the course of OV leading up to the Rooters arc, and what we're shown in the Rooters arc. Give us him still being far from great or on the up-and-up but improving with the stability that comes with his 'hero' status, a repairing relationship with Kevin after that arc, and a flourishing, above-board business. Rather than backpedaling on any good the writers had thrown at him like they'd realized they were coming up against a cliff.
Shit that makes you want to get the writers by the shoulders and shake them mercilessly.

One of the most disappointing things about AYITL is how Paris is as a parent.
She has a nanny who does almost all of the work, is rarely home, is in the middle of a nasty divorce (which she insists on being messy, not amicable), and is always working. Now, I’m not suggesting that Paris is neglecting her kids or is a bad parent, but she’s literally doing the same things that her parents did to her when she was younger.

If you are a person who shits on classic disney princesses read this
you are embarrassing yourself. most the shit youve said isnt true.
cinderella wasnt "waiting for a man" she was raised in an abusive household by a step mother who veiwed her as less and made her act as a maid.
aurora being asleep most her movie isnt her fault. she was cursed.
snow white was an abused girl who was happy to be with the dwarves and even happier to get her prince i dont know why thats considered terrible. wouldnt you be overjoyed if someone took you to live in a whole ass castle???
ariel was a curious girl who loved to learn about humans. she was as much as an anthropologist as she could be in her situation. and her dad literally DESTROYED all her special possessions in front of her only for ursula to use her distress to manipulate her. she wanted to be human- getting derek was a bonus.
you dont shit on anna for ending up with kristoff in the end do you? you dont shit on belle for loving the beast [unless its that stockholme syndrome debate]. i dont see you guys talking about real disney princess issues like pochahontus in general or the fact tiana was a frog most of her movie adding to the trend of poc being animals in disney movies.
and a lot of you just love the villains- proclaiming theyre better than the protagonists and theyre innicent.
ursula manipulated a vulnerable teenage girl and then tried to kill her and derek along with many others who were on that ship.
malefacent cursed a fuckin baby.
hades was creepy as hell to meg and literally owned her.
jafars a fucking creep who perved on a 16 year old girl.
like- you can totally enjoy them as villains its why disney villains are looked to as this like expectations for villains almost, but dont act like theyre good people or theyre better than the protagonist they hurt. especially when youre JUST mocking the princesses- that shit reeks of victim blaming and mysoginy.
grow up. being kind and persevering like the disney princesses do will always be better than treating people like shit like the disney villains do.
