AHHH this is so real. and we also have other characters like emmeline vance (my baby) and emma vanity and more who arguable got mentioned more than like evan rosier AND NO ONE TALKS ABOUT THEM. yes james and sirius are my fav besties BUT MARLENE AND LILY FRIENDSHIP IS RIGHT THERE ITS RIGHT THERE. and i cant even begin to mention the black sisters (heavy on narcissa) CAUSE THEYRE TEN TIMES AS INTERESTING AS evan rosier (mentioned like twice), barty crouch jr (his only personality trait is that hes a badboy and doesnt like his father) and (i will get attacked for this but whatever) regulus black, a canonical supporter of voldemort who only turned his back when kreacher was like. in danger.
can we talk about how the valkyries/marauders era girls are so just mischaracterized?
like here we have james, the funny, smart, prankster father of harry potter. might be immature sometimes. "the sun" "golden retriever" sirius: the bad-boy, a black sheep, sarcastic and snarky. remus, the smart, studious, gentle werewolf. and even peter: sometimes misunderstood, insecure, funny friend.
how about the girls?
lily is harry's know it all perfect mom. either james' gf or jegulus's enemy. marlene is reduced to a sirius variant. mary: popular black girl. shipped with either lily or marlene.
now, despite the pantheon/skittles having little mention in the books (excluding regulus), evan, barty, and reg all have tangible fanmade personalities. the girls?
dorcas: smart black girl. marlene's girlfriend. pandora: evan's spacey twin sister.
it's very strange how nobody creates content about friendships between the girls. there's lots about remus and lily being friends, sirius and marlene, etc. but the girls are almost only talked about in shipping, whether it's with each other or with a guy.
this is NOT saying to stop posting about dorlene or jily or pandalily etc. this is me asking you to ask yourself: why don't you care about marlene and mary being friends as much as james and sirius' friendship?
idk guys am i delusional?
If Lily has five million fans, I'm one of them. If Lily has five hundred fans, I'm one of them. If Lily has five fans, I'm one of them. If Lily has one fan, then that's probably James.
i don't ship most of the atla characters individually but i do think it would be profoundly funny if post-sozin's comet every single member of the gaang had a crush on zuko and he was wildly oblivious to it
if I had a nickle for every time the goth cinnamon roll was hopelessly inlove with the deadly sunshine character, I would be fucking loaded
rip james potter you would’ve loved proposing to lily during love story by taylor swift
I’m gonna be real, I think the writers simply didn’t want to give Azula a good ending or a good relationship with any of her family due to misogyny and ableism. I mean how hard was it to make her and her brother get along for at least a few minutes? So many ATLA characters had potential to be really good and they fucked them over because of how normalized it is to hate women and pity and praise men for the exact same thing women are hated for.
I’ve seen better dynamics between Zuko and Azula in FANFICTION than in the actual show or comics.
It’s like, you can give them moments of actually being siblings and STILL give them a complicated relationship and have Zuko feel inferior to Azula.
They grew up together, they had the same parents, they were both neglected by one of their parents, in Azula’s case BOTH of her parents.
And personally I feel like Ursa was kind of failing as a mother for Zuko as well but I won’t get TOO into that. She loved him, yes, but that doesn’t mean she truly did any good for him other than preventing him from being killed to be honest. If she genuinely cared for her kids she would have made sure they’d stick together and be there for each other. She would’ve taught him how to actually survive in the fire nation palace.
Ursa could have done so much for Azula as well. Ozai wasn’t present in their lives. In Zuko’s flashbacks, and even in the comic, we see that he is practically nowhere to be found half the time. Who was stopping her from watching Azula train? From complimenting her and giving her praise? From sitting with her by the turtleduck pond? She could have done literally anything with Azula and she chose not to.
Yes, Ursa was a victim but that doesn’t excuse the fact she failed as a mother.
But that’s just my opinion do NOT attack me about this I really don’t care.
Erik: I take no pleasure in this Charles: You’ve got me pinned to a wall and a knife to my throat, I think there is some pleasure in this for both of us
talking to guys vs girls is so different like for example -
me: i love taylor swift
girl: omg me too
me: omg really???? whats your fav song????
*instant friends*
VS
me: i love taylor swift
guy: ew youre a basic white girl
me: wtf im not even white
guy: idc she sucks and is stupid
*instant block*
this was based on two very real conversations i had in the past two weeks anywyas
no fr the wigs were a little interesting
GUYS I THINK THAT THE LA ATLA IS PRETTY GOOD GUYS LIKE.
YES, katara isnt angry enough but is it really 2010 bad? its also the writers fault not the actress like kiawentiio is SOOOO katara in all of the interviews etc
YES, ozai is hot BUT thats seriously doesnt excuse THE CHILD ABUSE!!!! yall can simp for him but dont condone his actions :))))))
YES, zuko is sassy af THATS HOW HES SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE. did we seriously watch the same show
SOKKAS' ACTOR IS NOT WHITE, like if he was and he got the role, it's the casting directors's fault. they didn't know what they were auditioning for, so i don't see why he would've lied about his background. plus, he really doesn't look white, like at all. and seriously, how would you feel if someone told you that you were lying about your race
another Redeemed!Azula thought…
Sokka: I need your advice
Azula: why me?
Sokka: because you’re Zuko’s sister
Azula: What did Zuzu do this time?
Sokka: Nothing! But I have a crush on Zuko
Azula: ew why?
—later—
Sokka: as my sister you are legally obligated to give me advice
Katara: that’s now how the law works but ok, what do you need?
Sokka: I have a crush on Zuko
Katara: ew why?
Azula overhears this and despite not being on the best terms with Katara, decides to bond with her over their shared judgement of Sokka’s taste in men.
They spend a lot of time together and Zukka are sweating because nobody else understands how terrifying it is that their sisters have become friends. The fear exists for months. They’re too preoccupied with making sure Katara and Azula don’t blow up the palace that they both completely miss the fact that Azutara definitely started dating.
Katara wants to tell them. Azula started a betting pool on what will finally get their brothers to notice that they’re together…with Toph and Suki. Azula thinks Katara doesn’t know about the betting pool, but she definitely does. She had Suki anonymously place money on the “Azula and Katara will have to kiss in public for Sokka and Zuko to realize” option.
