I’m Up At Way To Early And I Hate It So Here

I like the idea that Chishiya, Kuina , Usagi and Arisu all travelled together after the destruction of the beach and  they met in like the weird control room. and obviously their going to be on the move a lot, either trying to out run old beach members who are pissed because Chisiya was like a high raking member and Arisu was probably seen with the official people ( I forgot their names shhh). Also having to find new food/medical supplies and also just following games and shit. now most transports don't work (other than really old bikes and stuff as we know from that one lowkey dull running game but the odds of finding enough shit for that is hard) so their probably going to use bikes. but oh no there's a problem. Chishiya and Arisu cant ride a bike. they just never learnt because, and I mean really, look at the two of them. do they look like the kind of people that have the physical prowess to ride a bike? no. no they don't.  so now they have to sit on the back on Kuina and Usagi's bikes when ever they go, either sitting in one of those little toddler baby seat things OR standing on the like back wheel axle thing.  

Arisus: talking to a random guy who imagines it’s you and him in fury porn ain’t that bad right? Right?

Usagi: love we’ve talked about this. Stop talking to weird men on the internet

Chishiya: unless your getting money for feet pics

Usagi: not helping you stupid mother fucker

I mean they do go on a museum trip in touchstone of ra!

Touchstone of ra? More like touchstone of nah. My life is very happily existing it’s it little bubble where tor never even happened 😄😄

One thing I love about the live action avatar is that Ozai places Zuko's hand over his heart before burning his face off. He shows that small bit of vulnerability because he KNOWS Zuko would never do what he’s about to do. It’s just this small little mocking action of “look I’m OFFERING you the opportunity to stop this. To win. But you would NEVER do that because you are weak. Because you haven’t got the guts to do what I’m about to do”. Ozai has so much faith that Zuko would never turn against him and he is right. 

I’m realising how many ‘chat acts like a cat’ head cannons and fanfics and how few ladybug acting like a ladybug fics and whilst I know why it would be funny if she just randomly started crawling or mid fight she’s like startled and just secrets a sour fluid from let joints…. Ok yeah maybe it makes sense to not have many ladybug being ladybug fics

this website’s easy watch. *dangles a bunch of greek gods like keys*

Wanna know why I love avatar so much? Cuss the avatar really was the friends we made along the way. This isn’t some big deep dive into the morals of the show so be warned, it’s as surface deep as you can get but…

Being able to bend all 4 elements isn’t what the avatar is. The bending is just a physical representation of bringing those 4 clashing cultures together. Without Aang there is no reason for zuko, toph, katara or sokka to be friends. But because of him they are. They as representatives of their nations work with the last air bender (AND THE AVATAR!) to bring peace.

Because one man, one culture, cannot be the defining force in a universe. It’s just not true to reality. Sure some people helped more than others (the earth army was larger than the water tribes) but it was still a group effort. Everyone has to put effort in to keep their world at peace because every nation/ element plays a role in sustaining their life.

Honestly would love to write a fic about the avatar spirit dying/ disconnecting with humanity after aang gets stuck in the ice to further explore this idea but …. Im lazy.

Another issue with S3 is they really could've explored personal stories more (Eddie's relationship with his dad which is disregarded after Sweet briefly expels the Sibunas, and the descendants plot). Instead, they over relied on the romance which caused problems for new characters (KT being considered an obstacle for Peddie) and old ones (Patricia being jealous the entire season and Fabian not having a plot due to a lack of a romantic partner and being paired with Mara at the last minute).

I have no idea how long this has been waiting for me to read cuss I never check my inbox but OMG THIS THIS THIS! especially the relying on romance. So often (even before season 3) romance was used as a driving force for the narative or character arcs and whilst thats great...it gets boring. It's quite a large main cast with side characters being introduced every season. There isn't realllly enough school romance plots that can fit in WITH the mysteries for every character to constantly have this romance plot line. But as you said with Fabian, the writers also don't know what to do with a character once they remove that romantic partner. I think it's espeically hard for the writers to continue writing a compelling and strong character arc once the person is in a relationship. Patrica I think is the best example of this character growth stunting because in season 1 she didn't really have a massive romance arc like in other seasons. her growth happened through her platonic love for Joy sure, and eventually learning to be friends with the sibunas and realising that she CAN trust other people to help her. But no massive romantic love stories. Then eddie comes and as much as I LOVE them her own character growth was pushed back to focus on the romance. and that focus on her growth just never returned in a satisfying way for me. But also your definitly right with Eddies relationship with his dad it was such a complex and tricky relationship that seemed to only cause problems when the narative needed it to. Honestly thats how a lot of the characters negative aspects work, they are fine untill the narative NEEDS them not to be. And no this isn't me trying to say "characters need to constantly be suffering from past issues with no growth" even though as I'm reading it back it kinda sounds like I am, but certain things just don't randomly go away before returning at the same extreme level as when it was before. If they had worked through Eddies relationship with his dad and explored it before them finding a working solution, fantastic, but then they don't need to bring it back up UNLESS something new happens that shifts the peace from before. Imagine if Nina never got over her home sickness but it only popped up every 5 episode. That would feel strange and weird. I would like to add that this isn't me saying that season 3 is awful and that the first two seasons don't also have these issues, but its more prevelant in season 3 and there was less 'intresting 'special' moments to make up for it.

Mumbo, Skizz, and Grian core.
