Regretting this since 2010.

I’m sorry. I’m going to sleep now.

it's funny to me that while toy story 5 is going on and bonnie is having trouble making friends, andy is probably like two states away and going through hell on earth on indeed.com

Did those yahoos seriously think that adding a scene where Aang looks at the camera and says Zuko and Katara are not a couple was going to stop us from shipping those two together?

They've been trying to put out a fire with gasoline for two decades LMAO.

A lot of the things the writers (*cough cough* Bryke) do to invalidate zutara shippers also negatively impacts the complexity of the rest of the show imho. Like remember all the wonderful fanart of Zuko and Aang with their matching lightning scars? Remember how people thought it was cool that Azula had caused both of those injuries and Katara healed them? Remember when it got people talking about the parallels and narrative symmetry between Aang and Zuko? But no, they just had to remove Zuko's lightning scar in the movie because there can be absolutely no reminders of how crazy romantic the final agni kai scene was.

zuko and katara attempt to soft parent the gaang (and fail)

Asksksksk accurate

Literally what was I saying with the ship repairing/confronting Tagah scene

[hirannethwrites]

I think it's important to note that there is no private apology between Aang and Katara after their (rather public) argument.

The only 'resolve' is displayed through a speech that Aang makes to the entire group: "Everyone, I know I've asked a lot of you on this journey. But we're about to accomplish something that will change the world."

Now, the next interaction between Aang and Katara is when she revives him after he dies.

"You're incredible, Katara." He says.

Then the topic immediately shifts to Appa and everyone is there and ready to comfort Aang regarding the bison's disappearance.

It's a damn good thing Katara was able to revive herself and the others. After all, it's very important, apparently, that they continue to shoulder Aang's emotional burdens once more, and not hold him accountable.

("I can't believe I trusted him." - Aang)

Now, at this point, given Aang's history, the supposed 'growth' he's had since the original series, is it a stretch to critique him? To call him naive? To maybe, just a tiny bit, see his relationship with (and reliance on) Katara as something he takes for granted? Calling someone 'incredible' is just words, at the end of the day, especially when you've knowingly placed their lives at risk.

I've always believed that actions speak louder than words, and I think Aang's actions reveal the not-so-healthy underbelly of his and Katara's love story.

“i can’t do simple hygiene bc im depressed” that’s easy babe! just do simple hygiene

[hundondestiny]

Y’all always have to wallow in your misery instead of considering maybe, just maybe, the encouragement people like this give is just telling people to do one, easy thing instead of worrying about a whole routine. Can’t make yourself shower? That’s fine, just brush your teeth. Don’t have the energy to do your hair? Okay, just brush your teeth.

Making 1 small change that can start improving your mood leads to other small changes. When I couldn’t make myself shower I would make sure I changed underwear every day. And then I started using baby wipes to keep myself fresh. And then I worked my way back to trying to take showers every day. My record might not be perfect but I’m getting better.

It’s really unhealthy to keep the mindset that anyone who isn’t miserable and suffering under their mental illness or emotional problems doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Maybe they’ve just grown to learn how to love and care for themselves in spite of what they’re going through.

[christiangothdotcom]

I don’t know what any of you people think professional help looks like, but when you walk in and say “i’m too depressed to do anything” they don’t just nod and say “well you’re broken forever i guess”. they don’t say “here take this pill and it’ll fix everything”. they work with you one step at a time and explain to you that you CAN in fact do simple things even though you’re depressed. it isn’t easy, but it’s not impossible, it just happens in small steps, but it isn’t getting any easier when you react to every instance of someone trying to help by refusing to listen.

[libertarirynn-deactivated202006]

The advice he gives is seriously so solid. A lot of times it’s hard to motivate yourself to do something because it seems too daunting to commit to a full routine, so doing one simple thing can help you get motivated for the next simple thing and so on and so forth. Other posters are right, therapists, at least the ones worth anything, don’t just throw pills at you and tell you you’re never going to improve oh well, they give you simple manageable tips to improve your situation.

[ghiraheeheeheem]

Recovery is about baby steps at a gentle pace, not using it as a crutch to never ever try to make your situation better. No one said recovery is easy, but it does take at least a smidgeon of willpower/effort on your part. You have to want it enough to be willing to try. I’m not saying you have to Just Do It and fix your life overnight but if you aren’t willing to try then no one can help you.
