The Others Criticized Shauna For Spending So Much Time With Jackie’s Corpse But I Mean…. There Wasn’t

a comic about moving on

Fanfiction literally cannot "normalize" anything. Fanfiction is a weird little niche and fics are not something with massive cultural impact.

🙏🙏🙏AHHHHH I NEED THEM NOW

Oh to be jayvik with their four beautiful adopted kids at that stream by their cottage 🌿

I always wonder how Nat would've reacted if Misty where the one who died instead.

This is really interesting to think about actually. I think Nat would have a very complicated grief response, in line with how complicated Misty and Nat’s dynamic always was. I think it would hit her a lot harder than she would have expected, I think she would actually be quite devastated by it but also confused and frustrated at herself for grieving so deeply (“Why am I grieving when this person destroyed my life and was absolutely fucking insane?”). I think, outwardly, she would actually be kind of embarrassed to be that devastated over losing Misty and would probably try to hide it from the others, but I think she would have some private breakdowns about it for sure.

Misty hurt Nat in many ways, but beneath that anger, I think there was always a part of her that knew Misty was someone who, for all her faults, did care in her own twisted way. And Nat didn’t have many people who genuinely cared about her. Misty was one of the few people in that group who truly saw Nat—not always in a healthy way, but in a way that felt real. There is so much history between them and we haven’t even seen it all yet.

"If tampons should be free, then so should my diabetes meds."

Yes? Yes they should be? Your life-saving medication that you need in order to live for a condition you were born with should be given to you at no cost?

this is the worst fucking day of my life, and yet i am not surprised in the slightest.

toph is an icon for disabled people. she’s one of so few blind characters who is a hero and whose disability is not her weakness or fatal flaw. while it does make her life harder, as any disability does, it also gives her strength. she is the greatest earthbender of her generation. she invented a whole new subsection of bending. the people behind the live action production had a chance to make history just by doing the bare minimum: casting a blind actress to play a blind character. they couldn’t even do that.

not only that, but they’re making her “slightly more feminine” to “humanize” her. as if there weren’t so many young girls out there who looked up to toph because she was weird and didn’t fit the mold. in “tales of ba sing se” she tells katara, “i don’t care what i look like. i’m not looking for anyone’s approval. i know who i am.” to have a female character who doesn’t conform to beauty standards is so important especially right now with the prevalent beauty influencer culture.

while the original cartoon’s representation of women wasn’t perfect, it was diverse. katara and ty lee were both feminine. they liked to dress up and look pretty. toph is not feminine. she grew up forced to dress in formal clothes and style herself a certain way and decided to liberate herself from that. all three of these women are incredibly strong and incredibly talented at what they do, and none of that is impacted by their appearance or gender presentation.

every day, my hatred for the netflix version of avatar grows.
