Me, writing fan fiction: just a few seeds of angst in there.
Me: Wait
Me: Shit no stop grOWING THATS TOO MUCH ANGST
Me: just a bit of cute and fluffy. *spills fluff all over the page*
Me: oops. Guess thats life now.
“Goddamn it, I spilled plot and worldbuilding all over my porn again!”
*rewatching atla*

Has this been done yet?
Avatar: The Last Airbender + Tumblr text posts (part 3)
Zukka fic: and they were sparring partners
Me, crying: oh my god they were sparring partners
me, 5 minutes after rewatching the finale of Avatar: The Last Airbender: wow, you know what i haven’t watched in a long time? Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005-2008)
Roses are red
Storm clouds are grey
Poetry is great.
lemme try…
Roses are red,
Some tulips are black,
The roses have bloomed,
The ground is muddy,

This is always the best email in my inbox when it arrives.
Thank you to the commenters! You make my day!
No matter the hour you get them is always great, but especially in the mornings, just when you wake up and find a notification. That makes my day. It’s like a talisman for whatever not-so-good thing that may come later that day.
Avatar ships as the “Baby” meme
rediscovered this meme/joke format
The people, the places, The names, the faces, Are nothing like they used to be.
Though the light blurs the sky, In the darkness I spy The same stars we saw then, don’t you see?
Avatar: The Last Airbender (and the Legend of Korra) needs a site like Pottermore where you can take a quiz and discover your element/skill, find your animal buddy, and other cool Avatar stuff.
do folks genuinely not understand the appeal of the "enemies to lovers" trope, as it shows up over and over in fantasy & adventure fiction? really?
obviously it's cool if you don't personally like the trope. we're all different. but i'm seeing an increase in posts asking "what is wrong with people who ship this dynamic??" like it's so far out and strange, we can't possibly conceive of why people would like this. like... really?? enemies to lovers??? literally one of the oldest tropes in existence?? in the poppin-fresh year of our lord 2020, fandom is genuinely confused about this?
(disclaimer: i am, very specifically, talking about enemies to lovers, as it presents in fantasy and adventure fiction. when people use the word "abuse" to describe the dynamic between characters from opposing armies who like... fight each other on horseback with magical swords, i question their grasp of narrative, not to mention their motives.)
like, picture it: someone who opposed you, coming to your side. someone who clashed against you, becoming someone who never would again. someone who is in the end overcome by your power, your character, your strength, your wit, whatever: overcome by the very force of you. someone who chooses to fall at your feet and take up your cause as their own, to wield their own significant power against your enemies.
and... someone you don't have to always be so fucking good for. someone who has heard you scream unprintable curses on the battlefield. someone who has undoubtedly seen rage and fear and desperation in your eyes. someone you've probably also hurt. someone who wouldn't blink if you put an arrow in a real enemy's back and might in fact hide the body for you. someone you know will be as strong at your back in a fight as you'll be at theirs; partly because, well, you've both lived through each other.
and as a woman, boy do i personally get the appeal of this trope (as a general concept, even when specific ships don't resonate w/ me). like we live in a world where men think it's "weird" that their girlfriend swears or farts; not shaving is a cardinal sin. women's humanity is disgusting to so many men and even to so many fellow women. women's righteous anger is laughed at, our legitimate fears are routinely dismissed and belittled. if we're not nice, if we're not sweet, if we're not doormats, we're discarded; if we are any of those things, we're looked down on, we're targeted, we're blamed.
and people can't understand at all why we might be drawn to stories where the very forces that oppose us, are so transformed by us, so drawn to us for everything that we are, that they literally leave their old selves behind in the dust to join us and devote themselves entirely to our victory?
inconceivable, i guess.
(second disclaimer: no, this trope is obviously not appealing to all women, what the fuck is appealing to all women, besides pizza?)
and furthermore, since nobody asked me.... the idea that we have to "protect" women from enemies-to-lovers stories, when those exact stories can offer some of us a cathartic brand of fantasy.... whew, fandom. stay infantalizing us i guess.
@veliseraptor -- I think this post resonates very much to your fuck the villain police world view.
Damn, I’ve never seen it in words before why I’ve always had a soft spot for the enemies-to-lovers trope.
people that don’t struggle with mental illness really don’t understand that doing the bare minimum like showering, cleaning, eating, getting out of bed, etc..literally feels like the absolute hardest thing in the entire world during an episode/low. Please be patient with your friends & family who struggle and don’t confuse poor mental health with laziness.

Man do you ever think about how many places Zuko has broken into? Like
The Western Air Temple (twice), which was canonically built so that it could only be reached with airbending
(It’s also implied he broke into the other three too)
The Northern Water Tribe, whose defenses hadn’t been breeched in 100 years and was also currently under siege
Pohuai stronghold, which was on high red alert after capturing the fucking Avatar
Avatar Roku’s temple, mostly notable because he broke through a naval blockade to get there (dude wtf)
Lake Laogi, the secret underground headquarters of Ba Sing Se’s evil secret police that is also crawling with Earth benders
(Ba Sing Se at large doesn’t count since they forged their papers)
The Fire Nation capital’s prison, where the main threat to the Fire Lord’s rule (Iroh) was imprisoned for months
His own family’s vacation home (this isn’t an achievement I just thought it was funny)
A thousand+ year old sacred site dedicated the first firebenders that was also full of booby traps, Indiana Jones style, because why not
The Boiling Rock, the highest security prison in the Fire Nation
The headquarters of the Southern Raiders, an elite naval force on an island in the middle of nowhere
The Fire Nation’s royal palace, which was admittedly mostly empty at the time but still had Azula in it
His own family’s vacation home (again) after getting banished (again)
he’s…a rogue. How did I not realize that he’s a rogue. Who happens to firebend.
One of my favorite things about zuko is he thinks of himself as a failure for not being a firebending prodigy, but is actually INCREDIBLY competent (even prodigious!) At almost everything else
feeling like maybe. i can only access love through fiction.
bro is love actually real. guys is it real. guys is love actually real tho.
this post is not about being in love with fictional characters it’s about being gay and feeling like love isn’t for you so you become overwhelmed by small snippets of tender interactions between characters. 30 year old anime icon tumblr stop adding to my post pls.
Some doodles because I am just so happy that Druk exists.
