The Thing About Katara Is That She Was Angry.

The thing about Katara is that she was angry.

She was angry that the Fire Nation killed her mother.

She was angry that her father left them.

She was angry that she was the only Waterbender left in the south pole.

She was angry that the only person her age was her brother, who constantly disregarded her interests and her role in the tribe.

She was angry that what little waterbending she knew, had to be self-taught and how she struggled with that.

she was angry that a twelve year old instantly picked up what had taken her a long time to learn.

she was also angry that her tribe wanted to kick that twelve year old into the wilderness over a mistake.

she was angry over the earth-benders the fire nation had captured and put into a metal box.

she was angry.

And she knew she was angry.

Because she knew her own anger, she was the first to empathize with Aang when he got angry.

And it was because of it she could tell Aang forcing himself to lock his emotions up was not the answer.

Because she knew her own anger, she kept herself under control in the dessert, when everyone else was a mess.

Her anger empowered her. where anger was a tool of self-destruction for firebenders, for her it was what helped her push forward.

It was her anger that freed Aang.

It was her anger that helped her stand to Pakku.

Her anger was her strenght.

She was angry. And this was neither a mistake, nor a writing flaw.

I hope you find it!

Also, this post gives me chaotic neutral vibes and I am here for it 🍪

Hi tumblr, when I was five I watched a scene from a movie and I haven’t been able to find it ever since. This is what I remember:

- A man (I assume an adult but could be a teenager) throws rocks at a bedroom window to get a girl’s (I assume a child but could be a teenager) attention.

- The girl goes outside in the middle of the night without informing her parents (this really upset me as a child)

- I think the guy was a clown, although he was not wearing a clown costume during that scene

- I think the clown was working at a circus and that’s where he met the girl.

I didn’t actually get to see where they went as a commercial break started and my mom turned off the tv, but I always assumed he took the girl to the circus where the witch that he’s secretly working for would use her as a soup ingredient

(the soup part is almost certainly my imagination running wild, the witch probably too, for the clown/circus part I’d say there’s a 50/50 chance that it’s an actual plot point).

Does anyone know what movie I’m talking about?

poor countries are not ‘underdeveloped’, they are over EXPLOITED, our resources UPHOLD the economies of so-called ‘developed’ countries — you would be nothing without the sacrifices you forced us and our people to make.
