I need both

sometimes i read what i’ve written and think, “wow, this is amazing.” and then i read it again an hour later and want to throw my laptop out the window.

When you strip the subject matter of this shipping war down to its barest essentials, in its most good faith interpretations, I think there is very little we all disagree on. Katara is a baddie. She deserves to explore her own identity. Realistically, she wouldn't end up marrying Aang or Zuko! And textualy, it would be ooc to act like they wouldn't respect that decision. Aang has been chill every time katara has been infatuated with other guys, and zuko would learn not to be possessive of her like he is Mai. Listen. They are friends. youre all so fucking tone deaf the second you try to use real world politics to explain why your ship is better

who's you're favourite ATLA character and whyyyyyy?

Zuko, and I'm not ashamed to say it. His character arc is amazing and I love the way the writers managed to make him sympathetic even when he was clearly not on the right side. But he was also never the 'biggest baddest' so he was more relatable and the audience could be sympathetic to him

A pen sketch of zuko!

bro my sister is actually so smart

so yknow how Zuko’s scar is worse directly around his eye?

and there are a lot of reasons that could be but also consider this (and this is what my 12 year old sister came up with)

Zuko was sobbing and refusing to fight his father when Ozai burned him

his tears literally became boiling water against his eye.

I am going to abuse the fact that I can use my aunt's phone to draw as much as I can

A zuko sketch I did on my aunt's phone on the note app.

This made me realise how different an actual stylus pen to a random silicon tipped pen that I own 👀👀.

Hey at least you realised how good of a writer you really are!

I just reada really good fic but halfway through I realized "oh shit this is really familiar.... didn't I write something like this once?" And as I kept reading I kept predicting what happened next and the further I went the more convinced I was that they'd ripped off my story-

like, copied the ENTIRE plot and re-written it, just better than I had? The characters were more fleshed-out than mine were, and the POV was more interesting, and the pace made more sense- but it was MY STORY?

So close to the end I was like "holy shit.. do I message them? Ask if my story inspired theirs? Should I be angry? Flattered?" Cause their tags and description didn't mention me AT ALL, which, sure, it's fanfiction to begin with, but if you're using my work than at least credit me as inspo, right? Just to be courteous?

But I get to the end of the final chapter, and it's not finished, and I'm kind of disappointed cause I never finished my story and I was really immersed in their version now and had been looking forwards to seeing how they tied up my loose ends- so I scroll to the bottom to leave a comment, and.

It's MY URL.

IT WAS MY STORY THE WHOLE TIME.

THE ONE *I WROTE*.

In *2013*.

And FORGOT ABOUT

BECAUSE I WAS SO INSECURE ABOUT MY SLOPPY, SHALLOW, AMETEUR WRITING

And I'm just sitting here now staring into space thinking about every shitty story I've ever written now like

IT WAS ALL GOOD?

IT WAS GOOD THIS WHOLE DAMN TIME??

I'M A GOOD WRITER?????

I don't remember if I posted this so here.

“We hope this email finds you well” babe, the only emails I hope find me well are the ones from Archive of Our Own

School.

Lee form the tea shop!

°C stands for Correct temperature and °F stands for Freak temperature

Have y'all seen this 😭

I have everything figured out (it is that one specific scene that I want to write nothing else)

i have such a clear vision for this story (except for the entire middle part)

it’s called a rough draft because everything about it is rough, including my mental state

This is actually such a big problem🫠🫠

me writing dialogue: how do humans talk? how do normal people talk? what are words?

Happens every fucking time.

"you're the writer, you control how the story goes" no not really. i wrote the first sentence and then my characters said "WE WILL TAKE IT FROM HERE" and promptly swerved into an electrical fence.

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.

Don't focus on the anatomy, else this becomes very weird looking 🥹.

I coloured it digitally. 👀👀

A sokka I drew instead of focusing on my chemistry lesson 👀👀.

Fire nation mangoes just makes sense for some reason.

It just seems like a fruit that would exist in the fire nation.

I think a fruit that definitely exists in the fire-nation is the mango
