i'm AWARE this is a stupid hill to die on, but like. trope vs theme vs cliché vs motif vs archetype MATTERS. it matters to Me and i will die on this hill no matter how much others decide it's pointless. words mean things
i can’t believe it took me this long to put this together .... king and lionheart ... the prince and the fool... as the world comes to an end, i’ll be there to hold your hand...he needed you, zuko, to remind him that being brave can mean failing...
Zuko, hungover: please tell me I’m imagining that I claimed I was the king of all the turtleducks
Sokka: I would, but then I’d be lying to the King of All Turtleducks
random headcanon: modern au sokka hates riding on rollercoasters. he appreciates them from an engineering standpoint but he does NOT want to be dropped from hundreds of feet in the air thank you very much. this doesn't stop zuko from forcing him to ride front seat with him anyway
mutuals whenever i like your posts please remember that i am twirling my hair and giggling and saying “ohmigod really?? thats soooo cool”
thinking about this
so women are supposed to grin and bear the books, the comics, the movies, the plays, the tv shows, the stories, the sci-fi, the translated ancient poems, the fucking millennia of men writing about their self inserts torturing women and it being declared as High Art by other men, we’re supposed to read it in our free time, study it in classrooms, include their styles in our own writing, accept their cultural influence as natural, watch it in the cinema, write about it, talk about it, accept it, aspire it, but men can’t tolerate three seconds of female wish fulfilment of a woman snapping the wrist of a creep without feeling personally kicked in the balls.
