"People mostly write and read very character driven, specific ship focused fic, because what most people want out of fanfiction is to focus on the romance between characters they're not getting in canon so they can soak in the vibes."

Yes, absolutely. And thank hell for all the authors who write character-driven, ship focused fic for us to soak in the vibes to.

But also…

thank hell for all the authors who write angst, whump, and hurt no comfort, for us to luxuriate in blorbo's hurt and pain and cry or cackle.

thank hell for all the authors who write cheating, love triangles and affairs for us to consume large quantities of popcorn to and yell 'oh no, they didn't'.

thank hell for all the authors who write case fic, mission fic, and intricate, plot-driven stories to replicate the feel of canon, when canon has stopped or gone wrong.

thank hell for all the authors who write 'fix it' fics when canon has betrayed us with bad vibes, plot holes and deaths.

thank hell for all the authors who write poly ships when what we need is just for everyone to get along and screw instead of screw up.

thank hell for all the authors who write gen fic when we're not interested in romance.

thank hell for all the authors in fandom, and all the wonderful, different kinds of fanfiction they write for us.

I love how despite Lin and Suyin fighting, Lin is still the protective older sister.

好久沒畫Tokka了

辮子有夠可愛

#好可爱!!! #我最喜欢 tokka #tokka #Toph #Sokka #tokka fanart #atla fanart

To be honest I am actually crying at the fact adult toph and sokka are together when sokka is writing this story for tenzin. Also how sokka refers to he and toph as “we” and “us” without even saying toph’s name until the very end. It’s the way sokka assumed or knows that a 5yr old tenzin will know when his uncle says “we” or “us”, that means “sokka & toph.”

#:)))))))))))) #Tokka #I love them so so much #I keep saying it #toph #sokka #avatar the last airbender

You Gotta Read 'For The Sake of Sita' on Line Webtoon

Okay, so Line Webtoon is kinda bad generally, but for anyone who wants a good love story that transcends romance, THIS is the GOAT.

Now I can't really give any spoilers on the comic itself, since it only has like what 12 chapters? yall can definitely finish it in under 30 minutes, probably 5 if you're a fast reader, but HOLY SHIT YALL I READ THIS WHEN I WAS 16 AND MY BRAIN WAS BLOWN TO PIECES

I CRIED SO DAMN HARD AT THE ENDING ITS SO SAD YET SO GOOD GOD WHY MUST YOU DO THIS TO MEEEEEEEEEEE THIS WAS JUST AS AWESOME AS THE DRARRY TIMETRAVEL FANFICS I READ JUST RECENTLY, AND THE ART IS BONKERS WHAT THE HELL WHO IS THIS AUTHOR I WANT TO SHAKE THEIR HAND AND BEND MY BACK 360 TO THANK THEM FOR THIS FUCKING MASTERPIECE GOOD GOD ITS SO GOOD WHY DOES NO ONE TALK ABOUT THIS COMIC ENOUGH

#truly a rare gem #for the sake of sita #webtoon #i legit ugly cried after finishing the webtoon #its so damn good #if this is not true love then i dont know what is

Mai truly is for us emotionally repressed girlies like

Her whole character arc is like she’s emotionally repressed and was never allowed to express herself so she puts up all these walls and acts like she doesn’t care about anything and is so closed off.

And then her whole arc culminates with her loudly and proudly declaring the love she feels so deeply for Zuko. she expresses just how deep these emotions go, she is willing to die for him. Because she cares so much. Her emotions, her care, her love are so strong that they overpower her fear. Not just her fear of Azula but her fear of expressing herself, of stepping out of line, of standing for what she believes in. Which at this moment is Zuko- she doesn’t even fully understand what he’s doing, but she knows she trusts him more than anyone else. More than the fire nation propaganda and brainwashing, more than Azula, more than her parents. She knows Zuko has a good heart, she loves him for it, and she trusts it.

And that trust and love empowers her to finally express just how deeply she feels.

I don’t know if I’m articulating this very well but as someone who has always struggled to express myself Mai is just so fucking good and powerful to me.

headcanon: being able to listen to people's heartbeats can sometimes make toph insecure, specially when it comes to Sokka.

#yes yes I imagine she'd overanalyze things at one point but grows out of it eventually #tokka #also i love the way you shade this piece #amazing #tokka comic #tokka fanart #toph #sokka

to put it simply, the right people will get you. you will not have to fight for breadcrumbs of love. you will not have to beg for attention. the right people will love you freely and easily, and will carve out space in their life for you. the right people will check up on you on your bad days & laugh with you on your good. you will find friends who embrace every part of you, and who will push you to grow. someday, any trace of those who hurt you will be filled with warmth from those who never will.

NOT THE ATLA COOKBOOK GIVING ME JET FEELS

For all his faults, I still miss Jet a lot. He was the first person ever to take care of me, and just like Aang, he wanted to change the world for the better. I think his heart was always in the right place, even if it sometimes took a few detours. When we were able to catch small boars near our treetop hideouts outside of Gaipan, Jet taught me how to roast them over a spit until they were pleasantly crackly outside yet still soft inside. I miss those celebrations a lot, so I keep perfecting my boar-making skills as a small way of remembering him and our whole crew.

-THE DUKE

Like, say what you want about him, but the care he extended towards all these kids that were orphaned in terrible ways, just like him is impressive.

I'm not surprised he was so fixated on hindering the fire nation army. He's carrying not just his own trauma, but also that of the like.. 50+..? (Idk there were a lot of them in those treetops) other children whose stories he undoubtedly was told.

And stopping the Fire Nation, even at the cost of innocent lives, would, in Jet's young eyes, save many children from the fate of those he's had to take under his wing.
