“i Hate Jackie Taylor” Ok! Have Fun Being Boring!

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

i stg “are you sure you remember how to do that? because you used to force me to do it for you.” is how nat DEFINITELY wanted to finish that sentence to shauna when they were cutting up adam’s body

“judas, must you betray me…with a kiss?”

Say that again? I'm sorry. I got distracted by your little mannerisms, how you pronounce certain words, and the way your eyes light up when you talk about something you're passionate about, and started day dreaming about spending my life making you laugh, and feel loved and cherished

thoughts on transfem zevran arainai

i don't believe in genderbends or whatever so if she wants to be transfem she could be transfem. everything is possible as long as there's love on the planet earth. zevran could also benefit from being armenian but that's my own agenda

it’s always been so interesting to me that one country’s “civilian casualties” is another country’s “terrorism”

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.

this scene KILLS ME because jackie is literally ranting about natalie’s sex life. she is yapping to travis about nats standards and what she does in her free time. she canonically keeps note of everyone nat hooks up with and is bothered by it like….she is so chalant that it’s hysterical.

she is so insanely bothered by nat hooking up with people that aren’t her. why else would she give a fuck what nat is doing. this is supposed to be some malicious, nat-bashing scene when in reality…it’s just jackie taylor wanting natalie scatorccio soooo fucking bad. she wants her SO BAD that she’s COMPLAINING about her STANDARDS.

i can see nat showing up to practice late ONCE and jackie turning red like one of those angry cartoons while she marches over to her. fists clenched and all.

“oh let me guess who it was this time. bobby? or was it that older scumbag you met at that show? or….”

and she just goes on and on…rambling angrily….WHOLE TEAM watching her throw a gay ass tantrum. pure gold.
