I've Been Thinking About Seer Powers And Just What It All Includes Cuss The Show Kinda Died Before We

I'm a homosexual so clearly I must now gift the world with my really basic Arisu head cannons 

So Arisu did like really bad at school. like horrifically bad. yeah he was passing in maths but that was basically only cuss math just makes sense. Its part of why he hasn’t got a job- obviously getting great grades isnt the deciding factor for all jobs- but for him its almost to scary to face employer over employer who all deny him because of his grades. 

but this also doesn't mean he's not smart- we all know he's a fucking genius. This idea partly plays into the idea of academic smarts vs street smarts where Arisu is somewhere in between but its also not that. I personally project onto characters and whilst I’ve fallen in love with autistic Arisu here's my thing i guess idk.  basically dyslexic Arisu but his family constantly denied that he had it even though he struggled to read even at the age of 7 (he’d cheating reading time by reading the exact same book over and over again and memorising the words so that when he was forced to read it outload he could just recite the words off by heart). where the words would muddle together and he’d tell his parents they’d brush it off as needing glasses ( he doesn’t his eyesight is almost scarily sharp). when he’d come home from school a smile on his face because the teacher gave him a tool that would colour the lines he was reading and highlight the exact line he was looking at his dad only took it off him and threw it in the bin because “you don't need bits of plastic to be smart just work harder”. 

whilst the rest of his class could read easily Arisu would be sat in the back trying to read what the board says because words are already insanely hard because the letters dance but adding the teachers messy hand writing? impossible. eventually he just gives up on the lessons because it feels like everyone else has given up on him. so instead he sneaks in Nintendo DSs or his phone and plays games for the entire lesson- and the teachers don't realise because its not like hes doing any less work than before. 

and so exams came around and he struggled to read the paper and by the time he understood the questions that he could answer the clock was almost out of time. he failed them all. but he wasn't dumb the adults just didn't care to think. 

woah dude..... your hurt sound is vaguely sexual..... im trying to kill you but im. im getting a bit flustered

Imagine a villain is all like “rawrrr hahah I’m…. Discoer (idk bro) now we shall dance in an epic dance off for your miraculous “. And logically they could just like not dance but then where’s the fun in that? So chat and ladybug just start doing ransom moves that you’d see in your year 2 school disco buy oh no it’s obviously not enough

So THEN they decided “hey let’s dance together” and perform the worst best and most magical tango ever performed on the ilfel tower or however you spell it.

Idk o just think it’s funny o imagine them having a actual dance battle

Iroh would jokingly refer to himself as bee keeping age and Zuko would have a heart attack because who incorectly taught his uncle these terms??? it was Toph.

Hatter would steal you the most fanciest, expensive and insanely big ring for you to propose with and then would try convince you to trade rings with him because he wants it hes pretty princess he needs the fancy ring to attend his tea-parties with Aguni, his farm animals, and Arisu

Arisu: do you think space is watching us? Like the stars watching our every move and judging us?

Chouta: like a god? Maybe. Maybe they control our lives with their silent judgement with only their burning gaze to tell us their there

Karube: if they are watching then they gotta be impressed at how good I am at getting laid

Not enough praise is given to the actual animation during the seige of the north. The way once aang merges with the water spirit the only colour we see is the RED/ black water of the oasis (like the blood from Tui has stilled tainted it) and the water aang/La is pooling through the city.

The way all light just vanishes once Tui is killed. But also how fire bending forces light back into the world for just those few moments. It really brings in the theme of equality and fluidity in the boundaries of elements cuss both the moon/water tribe and the sun/fire nation in that moment are shown as bringers of light. Idk I think it’s just a really neat trick.

Another part is how only yues eyes are coloured in. Eyes are the windows into the soul/spirit blah blah blah she’s the moon spirit blah blah blah it’s a really cute detail.

Idk sometimes I feel like because it’s animation it’s very easy for some people to just…overlook the story telling aspects of it. Because it’s less detailed then a live action piece but I mean that’s just incorrect. The animation and the way they almost continuously use motion and fluidity in scenes (eg. People’s hair blowing in the wind, fire of water moving in the background, random side characters having lives outside the main narative) This then means that when still shots are used it’s all the more impactful. They rarely just do a still image with the screen ‘moving’ across like a lot of anime’s do UNLESS its a landscape/building their showing off. even then theres often something moving.

I tend to give a lot of (joking) criticism to season 1 for its weaker animation compared to the other seasons (I assume due to budget plus the animators becoming more accustomed to the style later on). But there are some moments that are just…breath taking. The care put into this series at all levels is something I don’t think I appreciate enough which sucks.

new drinking game: take a shot whenever they say the word "balance" in the new live action avatar.

Joy absolutely brought fabian a shit-ton of fabs during the summer as a joke on his nickname. He’d be like “I’m so hot” and bam 5 minuets later she’s shoving a fab ice lollie in his hand cuss she’s just so kind
