🎄 I love your videos!

*adores your content from the safety of my room* hehe 👹♥️

It made me think of Elite Miko

💕✨

besides raiding the amazon dumpster there really isn't anywhere else to go anyway.

Exactly!

I absolutely agree

Yeah! Like give the kid a break, he has to save the world, relationship problems ( oh the relationship problems…) and more!

I agree, and that’s also why I didn’t hate that in Legend of Korra (spoilers?) Aang turned out not to be the best dad. He had the pressure of rebuilding an entire nation and preserving a culture, so I thought it was logical he used his time efficiently to teach the only airbender child as much as he could. I can’t even imagine the pressure he would have felt. Not excusing it, but I did understand.

also he's like 12 at the start of the series and had that sort of that expectational upbringing of a gifted/genius/talented child who didn't have to try as much...also the Avatar thing.

Yep

And we love him for it

due to how his dad treat him =/

"Wait, what's that? I think it's your honor!"

THIS IS THE TAKE AND BEST METAPHOR seriously though in academia the best stuff is usually interdisciplinary imo it's awesome when you can bring in other ideas

But also his "keep yourself open to the possibilities" mentality is kind of an anomaly. Earth benders are usually all about enduring and powering through whatever is in their way.

I love how many different versions of earthbending there are. There's Bumi's version, Toph's version with a mantis like stance incorporating her unique abilities, the Dai Li style with the rock glove, the boulder's muscle based style, and the basic style used by people like Haru. And that's not even counting metal bending, sand bending, crystal bending or any other variation. There are also a bunch I've missed. A good example is the Blind Bandit episode, because most of the fighters have their own unique spin on earthbending. It really works with the idea that since the earth kingdom is/was the largest and most inhabited nation, there is the most variation in its bending.

As someone who started doing Chinese martial arts after watching Avatar (not because of it), I do see people slowly molding their style to fit themselves. In the beginning, you learn the basics so that what you have is effective first. But as you get to more advanced levels, you find what works better for you and what doesn't. Then it's more tailored for you, because in the end, it matters whether you can defend yourself. I learned from the four elements (if we just say Southern style instead of Hung Gar) and I gravitate more towards water bending. I can use others, but my main style will probably be that, with some... elements of the others.

@@thundercat287 I studied/practiced Shorin-Ryu and Shodokan karate for about 7 years before I started self-studying/practicing traditional Chinese martial arts and I have also become a ridiculous amalgamation of Shodokan stances mixed with Tong-Long upper body work and Shorin-Ryu's up-close kicks. And that's just when sober, lol. I spent a few months practicing drunken boxing as shown by Jackie Chan, lol

As a "fan" of greenland inuit culture i was also so surprised to see 2 of the main characters being inuit inspired... I see them nowhere!!! I've seen one movie that set my interest on Greenland and that's all!! It's like french people and other europeans only see inuit as ooga wooga tribe that lives in igloos and kill polar bears for breakfast... Nothing else TT-TT

I’m not Inuit but I’m native and honestly same. Just seeing a brown girl remotely indigenous done respectfully (not like Pocahontas) was necessary for so many brown girls to see.

i’m a native girl and not inuit but same. i also felt this way with piper mclean from the heroes of olympus series by rick riordan. i cried when i saw their struggles with their cultures or with the genocide they went through because i felt like my thoughts and feelings were actually seen.

Really omg now people have to be so careful with representing cultures xd i mean really ppl think that if they will be represented in some movie as someone who likes war so really u think people think like oh okay all inuit people love to make wars and are very bad people? Its just fiction and ppl shouldnt believe in everything that is shown in movie. For me the only thing that should be really accurate when representing some countries culture is their customs and traditions

I'm sorry,but r#pe fantasy? 😨

I love the FGO Mothman reference

It's the quenchiest!

He gets the misogyny literally beaten out of him

They had to make Sokka a normie since he had the highest Charisma stat

respecc women and love women, we have no choice but to stan

Whats neat is that he dropped his stereotypical views on women but he doesn't forego his fragile masculinity behind just yet. He still holds onto that behavior for a good while, because well, people don't change overnight. He still acts tough when he can because he's grown up to be the 'man of the tribe' y'know?

What you described is just Velma.

so true, and it has to appeal to impatient kids so it actually moves along!!

this reminds me of that batman cartoon from the 2000's. the joker didn't kill people, he would leave them like, stupefied with these creepy grins on their faces. apparently the creators came up with that because they wanted to include a sense of horror and dread, but couldn't show corpses. and because of that, they ended up with something memorable and genuinely _more_ disturbing.

That hits right in my Salvage™ feelings

That's why I always found that interaction creepy! The fact that some Zutara shippers saw that interaction as a sign that both would end up together really concerns me, because I actually found it disturbing. And now that you made the connection to the abuse that Zuko received from Azula and the firelord... it's even worse.

This is a good point.

My heart... Whyy

@@100lovenana That wasn't the interaction that inspired Zutara shippers, my dude. It was later developments.

They did this show in the early to mid 2000s so I'm not sure if the Google we use now is the same as the Google they used back then. (BTW started watching Death Note and I'm already a fan).

Korra also dated everyone in her gang, lol

Sokka had at least 1 boyfriend. I mean, don't try and tell me that Sokka wasn't a bisexual disaster.

@@diyagore1784 Zuko and Sokka had way more similarities and chemistry than Zutara ever did, and Sokka definitely had a crush on The Boulder in the same way teen girls have crushes on boyband members There was also that popular fan theory that Hakota (Sokka and Katara’s dad) had a thing with Bato, and he /does/ date that one lady in the comics... the water tribe really /can/ get it

When did Sokka get 8 girlfriends lol.

Epic Joyful Creations *water tribe*

Yes please. I know so much about European fashion but I don’t know anything about anywhere else and I really want to learn.

Yessssssss

i feel like that's a big ask lol but hey here's hoping

I could imagine a more broad world building moodboard type deal happening where stuff like that goes up there. Though I've never worked in animation, just an artist, so not entirely sure what the pipeline might be

I kind of feel this

I once had ten tabs open for one three sentences paragraph and I didn't even end up using it

I expect photos of it were just in the show bible research

Believe me given the cost and length of time of animation, *everything* is researched and think about before, during and after

Exactly. They didn't just "randomly get" him. He was already in the studio.

@@MisterJackTheAttack They technically got him to voice this random spirit... because he was already in the building to voice Ozai later in the episode. Also I'm not sure she even noticed as she didn't mention it.

Apparently when he first read it, he didn't think it would last. He thought it was too smart to become as popular as it did.

wait till she finds out who voices captain stickybeard

Yeah Mark Hamill is a very prolific voice actor. Most well known for creating the iconic "Joker" voice, but has probably voiced hundreds of characters. If you go to his IMDB and ctrl+f "voice", the entire scrollbar turns yellow.

Yes! I'm a writer as well and I constantly feel like I absolutely have to get that one obscure thing as historically/culturally accurate or else I will die.

This hits just a little too close to home

I'm guilty of that lmao

Yes. Especially if your writing or drawing something from another culture that is not your own or writing about an experience you never had. Research is KEY when writing.

Yes, I'm very guilty of that.

And also we never totally know what crime it committed. It's possible it's the ATLA equivalent of "Darth Jaja Binks"

To be fair...it's a cat. And also, very seriously cats are associated with spirituality in many ways, including being able to interact with them AKA when they stare into the corner of your room for thirty minutes for absolutely no reason.

Tibetan American here, you summed up my experience with the show pretty well. I, too, really enjoyed the little representation we got on TV. It honestly blew my mind as a kid that Tibetan names like Gyatso, Tenzin, and Yangchen were being mouthed by cartoon characters on television.

Yes!! As a Chinese person, I have so many friends that are from other non-North American POC cultures as well as Italian and Slavic culture because though we all have differences, we have so many weird casual little things that are similar, like how cooking is always insanely loud n shit 😭

@@vikli5966 As a Slavic person I relate so much. Like when there's a discussion between Americans and West Europeans that's like "this thing Asian people do is so weird". And I'm like "YOU MEAN TO TELL ME NOT EVERYONE'S FAMILY DOES THAT????!!!!"

Living in China for 4 months I don’t get what you’re talking about?

As a Mexican, I also greatly vibed with that lmao

It’s a mostly universal experience of getting woken up on cultural holidays by the sounds of cooking TwT

I agree. And I do agree with her about her closing statement about how if someone doesn't know how to represent a culture, why do they do it (before farther research)? Because Mulan 2020 was terrible, and I could list off several movies were they... I guess it's cool to represent different cultures but to firstly put themselves up on a pedestal for it, and secondly most of them spark the woke white nitwit conversation about 'they shouldn't be telling that story'. I think it's more about their ignorance due to their upbringing/culture rather than their race. Anyway, she made a good point.

As someone from Alaska, as a kid, i only saw part of the the first episode because I was so angry that people would think that alaskans lived in igloos that second grade me boycotted the show. I realized my mistake later, because the show is good, and they weren't actually trying to show actual inuit culture. At least I've watched the show now. It was way better than i was fearing.

Off topic but related, this is why it irks me when they change mundane things in the localization of kids show. Like, is it really that bad for kids to see signs with a foreign language, learn foreign names, see people using chopsticks see foreign money or learn about foreign animals? It’s a good thing for them to be exposed to foreign elements and I think it outweighs the possibility of them having to ask their parents or google it. I get why they do it (they want it to be more appealing to the new culture in hopes that it will be more profitable) but I don’t know. It seems like an unnecessary effort. Especially when most people know what chopsticks are now a days (note: I’m referencing the fairly recent Doraemon dub, this was a thing that happened in there)

@@dragoncatoverload if you're talking about children's anime, especially things along the lines of 4Kids dubs, then let me gleefully share my knowledge on the subject! 4Kids and all the companies after them that do the same thing distinctly do *not* do localization. Localization is a good thing, especially in anime fitted for kids. But that's not what it is. 4Kids creates Hack Dubs. Hack Dubs are not localization. Localization refers only to the shifting of phrasing and sometimes, though very rarely, plot elements to make them make more sense to a viewer of a different country. Have you ever watched a sub or dub and thought to yourself, "Okay but no one who speaks English would ever actually talk like that."? Or maybe you used Google Translate and the result was just nonsensical? That's because it hasn't been properly localized! Language, especially Japanese in this case, rarely has 1:1 translations and if they do, they don't flow the same as English would normally. Localization is an important step in *all* translations, be that dubbing, subbing, or translating manga. Hack Dubs do not do this. The goal of Hack Dubs is not to contextualize Japanese anime, but rather change them entirely to make more sense to their target demographic (usually 7-11 english children) and is responsible for people not knowing that Pokemon, Digimon, and Yu-Gi-Oh are anime. If the context of a scene is *completely* different than the original scene from an anime, then that's hack dubbing. Take the dub of FMAB and the original for a second here. The first scene in the entire anime is a great example of localization. The sub of FMAB has Mustang saying "The Freezing Alchemist?" and then Bradley responding "Yes. He has sneaked his way here into Central. Colonel Roy Mustang, I would like to put you in charge of capturing him." and then Mustang says "If that is your order." The dub on the other hand has this exchange instead: "The Freezing Alchemist? Really? He's here?" "We have information that he managed to slip into central a few days ago. That's why I've summoned you here Colonel. I need you and your men to smoke him out and bring him in." "Consider it done, sir." The context of the scene is the same, they just changed the phrasing a bit from the sub (which, while localized, is much closer to a direct translation than dubbing is) to use more English lingo and have the characters speak how we would expect military to speak. The Japanese to a Japanese viewer would sound correct, but in direct translation the military authority is a bit lost. Now take the dub of Yu-Gi-Oh versus the original. Things like the Shadow Realm instead of dying, the lengthening of skirts, and yes, changing Kanji or other Japanese writing on signs, are all symbols of Hack Dubs. More often than not, real localization will rarely change visual things, rather they leave it and contextualize it with a quick subtitle (Take FMAB episode 1 again for example, when Hughes barges into Mustang's office and Mustang has a bubble near his face with Japanese writing and there's a subtitle that says "Here comes the pest" instead of changing it outright). Hack Dubs are bad yes and it is something we should fight against, especially in children's media, but localization really gets thrown under the bus a lot in conversations about it. I hope all of this info helps!

@@SSBGogetaFTW Tl;dr but no I’m not against changing in general just; I’m of the personal opinion that you should only change stuff that needs to be changed. I considered good localization an art form that can be extremely beautiful when done right but it can also be done super wrong, as well as done meh. I was talking about the random meh things that don’t make sense to change outside of misguided marketing tactics. Also current dubs exist in a realm different from the 4kids era. That era was a way different time in which the market was a little more closed and needed active breaking in to. I’m talking more current examples like Ghibli Disney dubs or like I said Doeaemon. That exists in a more accepting realm that actively demands accuracy. Edit: also I’m sorry for the tl;dr but it is Christmas Eve and I work retail and my brain is utterly fried right now.

Jokes aside though, while lacking in complexity it's amazing how well they built him up to be such a huge threat so in my opinion it felt like it made up for the lack of depth, pretty impressive how well it turned out

Plus, I feel like Azula and Zuko makes up for the complexity. Ozai felt more like the embodiment of greed and lust for power in the world that Aang had to bring peace to.

azula: complex, sad, deep zuko: complex, strong, important ozai: mean fire man

Personnally, I like his post defeat development in the comics. He acts like he's proud and strong, until someone resist him and prove him wrong and weak... Cool reactions

I feel like sometimes you have to tone down the complexity of a villain in order to up their intimidation factor. That way we don’t end up rooting for them. The less we know about them, the more suspense there is for when we finally face them.

14:48 And how exactly is that tower anything to do with coronavirus?

This is fascinating.

This is exactly why it's always preferable to read/watch something in the original language, as many things can be lost in translation (and sometimes the translators are also dishonest)

In Russian dub, it was the same: "magiya" all over the place. I believe there are much better variants

I mean... No idea why you went with "tkać" (to weave) when the direct translation of "to bend" is "zaginać". Sure, "zaginać wodę" (to bend water) sounds a little stiff but it's definitely better than "tkać" since the word is usually only used to describe weaving fabric/threads and sounds way better in English than in Polish. "Zaginać" on the other hand has been used in the context of using magic in media before.

I knooooww!! Hah, writing is exhausting

lmaaao

As a 3D artist. Yes we do. We look shit up all the time just to get ideas

Same, as someone who does art, I will sit there and look up tons of things for inspiration or just to make sure things look right. 😂

As a person who is writing a comic heavily based on Norse and other European folklore and mythology... I can confirm that that is exactly what we do I mean, I once spent a whole day googling about myths of Cloud-Shepherds to build a single character and, by the time he is introduced in the story, he turns out to be mostly senile xD

I also see it pretty often in wide open but somewhat closed off spaces in Chinatown and in a specific area (the "Chinese Garden") in the nearest park. And on days when I stay late in school grounds for one reason or another, I would see old people occupying the indoor "courtyard" of my elementary school (which is a "Chinese" school) at night practicing Tai Chi.

I live in malaysia but i see middle aged people do it in a park in the morning

I see that here too (USA), if not in Chinatown, then somewhere in a park NEAR Chinatown.

I remember I studied abroad in Beijing and seeing it all the time

Also in Seattle

Exactly! I always loved Avatar and watched the whole show about 5 or 6 times, but rewatching the first few episodes is just really exhausting.

Yeah same im fine with the first episode but i skip the rest until the 5th ep cuz idk why but i just die watching first episodes of any show again

Yeah the beginning is a little rough, but I think it's amazing that it ends much better. The last episodes are literally my favorite

"just couldn't get past the first two episodes."😂😂😂 Talk about handicapping yourself.

It's the same for a lot of shows. Give it a few more episodes. It takes some time for the characters and the story to gel together and find their footing. Older viewers used to usually give a show at least one season-long to get their footing. Nowadays we're just too impatient.

Seemingly by complete accident, since his actual advice is terrible

Ikr, sometimes it's about the amount of research they put in the story. It's like an essential for any author out there

That's all it's asked really. Japanese have made pretty good fiction set in non-japanese settings. Metal Gear, Mother, Berserk, Dark Souls, Vinland Saga... You can still tell these are japanese works by some quirks now and then, and that foreign touch is inevitable in such things, but the end result is nevertheless an interesting child born out of passion.

That was so me.

I design gasdetection for safety for my work, I can concure removing the oxygen from a room would be an extremely effective way to take out a bunch of people. Once they figure out what is going on they would be pretty much death, as the urge to breath comes from too much CO2 in your lungs/blood rather than a lack of oxygen. They wouldn't notice anything going on until they get drowsy and fall over death moments later. Yes oxygen displacement is scary stuff.

A MOOD! I scared the crap outta him when I watched Korra and she went Avatar state after being chained up. And he was so like “wtf” and I felt smug af just saying “it’s the prequel to the silly cartoon.” My advice? Play the scariest episode of ur fave cartoon in front of ur judgy parents to scare them. (My mom actually liked Avatar when we played it in the trailer camping. I sweated bricks cuz it was the spirit of the forest one and we are all Christian. She played the next episode.)

I'm glad my dad was not like that. We would buy fake CD's of animes he liked like 'One Piece' or 'Reborn' and 'Bleach' and cartoons like 'Tom and Jerry', ' SpongeBob SquarePants', etc. That was our bonding before hehehe

thank god his hair changes then lol

But here's the thing when it comes to choosing voice actors you choose good actors that have a voice that fit the characters and since its so hard to find people of the exact same culture that can do that it's really hard. So I'm not gonna blame them. I'm honestly just thankful we got some other voice actors like Dante Basco. We could have had no Asian voice actors at all. And this is the 2000's and we all know how it was back in that time period.

I still think ATLA did better on representation even if mishmashing cultures for aesthetic because they actually had consultants and did lots of research. Even tho Disney likes to say they do, I really don't think they do. Ofc they weren't representing my culture (and it wasn't really for money either or checking a box. This is probably the best representation that I've seen out of white writers which isn't saying much). I think I'm more easier on east Asian representation than something that's supposed to resemble my country

honestly same

I'm not. 1.) I can't read comic books without getting headaches. 2.) I don't care about Kyoshi that much.

@@PersephoneDaSilva Kyoshi books are not comic/graphic novel though, they are text-only (though there are some bonus illustration in one special edition, iirc). Also, while the duology focuses on Kyoshi as a character, it's much more than that. Yee did a great job expanding the lore, and in my opinion, it's better than any other Avatar material outside the original series.

I would go as far as saying that they are even better in some aspects than the main series, especially in the way that the books depict the deadly potential of bending arts much more explicitly than either ATLA or LoK.

Considering how much chemistry she had with Haru and Jet, it's only understandable that people preferred Zutara ship. Enemies becoming lovers doesn't always go well, but anything is better than having 3 seasons of Aaang simping for Katara like a little kid for his first babysitter. He grew up and became more mature by the end, but she never stopped feeling like his mom or big sister to me. I don't know how true this is, but I've read in many comment sections on YT that writers and even the whole cast wanted (Zuko and Katara VAs, too) wanted the Zutara endgame but Brian put his foot down and forced Kataang because he once had his babysitter turned him down when he was a kid xD

I don’t know it makes sense to me, and it seemed like katara liked him but didn’t understand her feelings much like Aang but he didn’t understand what to do. I was hinted on the first episode too. So it didn’t feel out of place to me.

@@kimberlyterasaki4843 Everyone knows they can’t rely on the parenting skills of all his past lives to keep them going, after all

Makes sense since Aang didn't want the responsibility of anything at this age.

Pink was originally a color for dudes in Europe because it was a diluded form of red and blue was for girls......in essence the hate for boys wearing pink makes even less sense because of that origin

Can't be surprised by the story if you wrote the story yourself. So I get her point.

I know there's that popular fic where the script got flipped and it was the _Water Tribe_ that were the conquerors, with Aang on the run alongside Zuko and Azula, living in fear of a full-fledged bloodbending Katara.

I didn't even know people said that. But yeah, agreed

Yeah I agree completely with this. Also, it'd be possbile for him to be alive anyways, Guru Pathik had 150 years.

Correct. Also the air benders had people live till like 150yo so there probably was a small hope that at least someone he knew would still be alive. Like bhumi

@Cheezbuckets -- "I don’t know if this is a thing that people still talk about, but I’m going to complain about it anyway..." That is 100% my internal monologue so, so often when thinking about random pop-media. It's also occassionally my dialogue-opener, but nowadays I only subject my close friends to it (the poor unfortunate souls xD lololol!).

One thing to note is while airbenders are pacifists, there are 10 or so skeletons around Gyatso. He went out like a boss. And people have pointed out that his clothes aren't burned at all. The best theory is that he removed all the air in the tent, created a bubble of vacuum that suffocated him and all his attacker. "least violent" way for killing multiple people while also taking yourself out.

Then in one video she does a different start, gets hate for no reason and startes the next video "have you ever tried to do a new intro and angered lots of people to the point that you go back to the previous intro? That's me."

"Have you ever tried Raid: Shadow Legends? thats me"

And she has to start the video looking to the side before turning to face us.

I think it's really funny because it gives be really big "Movie Voiceover" vibes.

Just wanted to give you the heads up and point out Xiran is non-binary and goes by they/them pronouns!

@@thegaymothman Ahh thanks for the correction. Soooo they are a treasure.

yeah, it seemed like he probably thought about that interaction a lot

I will say . . . as someone who was raised by abusive parents myself, I wasn't treated very kindly in my growing up years. So those few moments when people were kind to me were SO impactful/meaningful to me. I still remember this one guy that randomly overheard me singing and after asking if that was my voice, he said, "Whatever you do, don't stop." I was 12 and used to being paraded in front of church to sing to make my parents look good, but in private my parents often told me to shut up. Those tiny moments that people probably just said to be kind and then never thought of it again, those were the most meaningful moments to me.

@@sassylittleprophet The fact thaf what those random people said to u impacted you is very sad yet sweet. I hope your in a better place now. I wish to you the best in life.

@@bingus1691 thank you so much, I'm in a much better place in my life now (supportive/non-toxic friends, weekly therapy, and living on my own away from my family). I wish you the best in life too. 💜

@@sassylittleprophet I hope you also still sing because you enjoy it along with being in a better place now.

Do the koi wake up at 3 to play pong?

Same but with my dad doing tai chi in our backyard during the middle of the day

In Singapore there's this place kind of like the stages in Greece nearby my house, and there would always be 2 or 3 people nearby practicing with some music early in the morning or after lunch (theres a hawker center not too far from there). Sometimes a child would try and copy them but end up falling to the ground

That's such a vibe

so to complete my 97 year old grandparent vibes, i should also do tai chi to help with my general body movements. (im 27 and have been told that im an old person for my daily habits of going to bed around 8:30pm and waking up at 4 and 5 am to walk my dog for nearly 30 minutes. and that i dont go out places and do anything, im very content to stay home and be with my dog and my hot tea.)

Oh shit

Good observation!

don't mean to rain on your parade, but i got up to second sentence, and... the entire argument falls apart. cause azula's name is also chinese phonetics and had nothing to do with the color. her fire also had nothing to do with the color other than the fact that blue fire burns hotter than red, which all of this is confirmed from the creators. it might just be a coincidence that grey happened to be the voice of the blue dragon as well... so, sorry, that's not intended, but nice nuance

@@ellavalentine7650 as a Chinese speaking person I have no idea what you’re trying to say, Azula is not based on Chinese phonetics. It’s likely from her blue flame, and y’a know, “azul”.

@@ellavalentine7650 I appreciate the respectful response. I meant “Azul” means blue in Spanish, but since ATLA is mostly Eastern-inspired, I should’ve stuck with that. I high doubt it was a coincidence that both dragons were voiced by Zuko’s strongest influences for each side of his struggle-especially during HIS moral crisis-induced nightmare. Especially when that’s later paralleled by Azula telling him to take Aang down and join the Firelord, while Iroh does the opposite.

i- i feel this on an emotional l e v e l.

Yeah same. Just CAT

ooh that's crazy haha. in some of my cousin's families, for traditional purposes and also just for fun, they name all of the children in their direct line after avatars of Vishnu. There's literally thousands of names and avatars to choose from, so it's pretty cool and there's a low chance of repetition. it's like if there were siblings named Aang and Kyoshi, and their respective children were Korra and Kuruk and so on. just felt like sharing!

Whaaaat?

I think she was mainly shocked that such a prolific VA/Actor was a random monkey

I had to transfer from environmental science to engineering because I couldnt handle the bleakness😫

As a Persian, it's even worse here. There are people who think you are crazy to tell them they are destroying the earth. They think it's just not possible

Oh I feel you there! I thought it would become better after graduating. I was so motivated when I started working, I wanted to finally do something to help our environment - but there are still so many people not considering environmental protection as something really important for the future and I sometimes feel like I am working and speaking against walls....

The rates of depression are higher among climate scientists than any other profession 😢

Oh man, all the times I was told "Well here's all the ways that could support the environment and slow down global warming, but there's not really much to be done, anymore, we're all fucked" in class, was depressing 😅 I'm an ecology major, ended up doing eco-physiology/microbiology stuff after graduation, now trying to start researching methods of bioremediation, so I guess I personally haven't lost all the hope, yet? :D

So when Sokka said, "He's an earthbender, right? ROCKY! You know, because of all the rocks!" Je actually wasn't that far off 🤔🤔

It means earth in several Indian languages too!

It sounds a bit like popcorn in Chinese for some reason-

_Really_ hoping you're wrong, and it's more the Sozin's Comet or Harmonic Convergence of its time, and we won't have anything else as big to deal with for a long time to come.

I was ready, but I might have to admit that finding out that the lifestyle I have been living for years is actually called quarantine is a little bit worrying.

😂

I agree but I’ve also been on the shipping section of the internet so I 100% see how it happened.

That moment is when the bdsm people started shipping

I'm one of many Zutara fans who actually agree. It's not a good shipping moment. The first if any is in the crystal cave (which is immediately squandered when he goes back to being terrible) and only heads back in a good direction when he has already joined the gaang)

im gonna be honest, that scene strikes me as him imitating azula. the mannerisms are really similar! so yeah, not intentionally shippy in universe at least. dunno the creator intentions

I’m not into shipping wars, I love them all but yeah this scene was definitely not one to make me ship them

Between retconning history, poisoning rivers and lakes, deciding it's best to "spread your power" to other countries, totally not locking up people in labor camps based on their heritage I've seen more and more people compare the fire nation to USA.
