Enemies to "I accidentally came across you while you were vulnerable and scared and I'm not a total asshole so I tried to help you" to "accidental mutual uncovering of softer sides and vulnerabilities" to "I can't be mean to you anymore, not out of pity but because it would feel weird betraying that brief truce we had" to "Fine I'll make an effort to be nice to you now I guess" to "actually now that we're not actively hating each other you're not so bad I guess" to "i think we're friends but I'm not going to say that because I'm afraid you're not gonna feel the same way" to "oh you also think we're friends? Great" to lovers

Hot Take:  If we were meant to see the Jedi as cold, unfeeling, and sterile, we would not have have seen their home framed in warm golds and peaceful pan shots and awe-inspiring art literally almost everywhere:

If we had been meant to see them as cold and unfeeling, Star Wars would not have been coy about it. STAR WARS KNOWS HOW TO SHOW US “CLEAN” AND “COLD AND UNFEELING” AT THE SAME TIME AND THEY AREN’T SHY ABOUT IT:

These two things are shown incredibly differently.  Kamino is shown in bright, sterilized white.  It feels cold just looking at it. In contrast, the Jedi are shown in these gorgeously warm colors, we see their great tree, we see their beautiful mural on the ceiling, we see Jedi walking together just to chat, we see children being absolutely adorable as they cluster around and Yoda teasing Obi-Wan while praising the wonderful minds of the children, we see the Jedi mourning their fallen brothers and sisters, we see warmth in them. If Star Wars wanted us to think they were cold, uncaring assholes, THEY KNEW HOW TO DO IT.  WE SEE THAT WITH KAMINO BEING RIGHT THERE.

yeah Romeo and Juliet suuucks they should’ve both survived at the end and lived happily ever after instead. but of course the writer kills them both off for shock value.

the classic "are you hurt?" but the whumpee is the one saying it. slurring the words through a hoarse throat and numbed lips, their eyes are glazed and their hands are shaking, frantic at the blood soaking the caretaker's shirt and too delirious to realize it's all their own.

Congratulations to Marcille DungeonMeshi for achieving Pathetic Little Man status on tumblr, a hard glass ceiling for many female characters to break. I look forward to calling you my sopping wet beast and poor little meow meow for fandom days to come. Keep trucking babygirl, you'll bag Falin one day

personally i think there should have been at least one episode where sokka collects aang and zuko and is like, “looks like we’re running low on supplies.  time for a GUYS-ONLY field trip.  three days of hunting and fishing and polishing our swords.  y’know, manly warrior stuff.  (aang, sotto voce: actually sokka i’m a vegetarian as you know–)  you girls have fun sitting around braiding your hair and talking about your crushes” and then the entire episode is just zuko and sokka lying around by a river, plucking blades of grass and staring up at the stars confiding in each other their deepest feelings and most secret insecurities while aang braids flower crowns, and whenever the screen cuts back to katara and toph and suki, they’re fighting and screaming and hacking away at river pirates and evil spirits and legions of assassins and hired mercenaries with swords.  you know, as girls do.

and when the boys finally drag themselves back to camp (they stayed up way too late discussing what true leadership really means and whether or not power always corrupts)  they find suki and toph and katara lounging around with black eyes and fresh bruises and bloodstained weapons and sokka shrieks, “what were you guys DOING while we were gone???”  and karata just shugs innocently and says in her sweetest voice, “oh, you know.  just girly things”
