“The bullying will go away if you just handle it with enough grace and kindness” is a disgusting lie that could only ever be perpetuated by someone who has never been bullied before. Anyone who has ever experienced real bullying knows that bullied respond to one thing and one thing only; consequences.
It's also really fucking victim blamey and completely excuses the person telling you this lie from taking any action against your bullies on your behalf. Oh, the bulling didn't go away? You must not have handled it with enough grace and kindness, so it's your fault you're still being bullied. Now fuck off and stop bothering me.

Official Art of Katara and Aang for ATLA’s 20th anniversary Avatar in Concert tour. The artist is @velinxi.
I love this piece so much. This artwork offers a visual representation of Aang and Katara not only as individual characters, but as a unit. Every detail highlights the balance and interconnectedness that defines their relationship:
Aang is shown airbending while Katara is waterbending, with clouds suspended between them. This likely alludes to a pivotal scene from The Fortuneteller, in which the two shape clouds together. It marks one of their earliest moments of collaboration. It’s also a pivotal episode that helps to foreshadow Katara’s realization that Aang may be the man that she will marry.
Aang stands upon ice—a direct reference to the century he spent frozen in an iceberg. Katara, notably, is positioned above him in the air. This positioning recalls her role as the one who discovered and freed him, catalyzing the events of the series. Her placement visually emphasizes her significance in reawakening Aang and her role in the narrative as a deuteragonist. The hero’s journey of the titular character does not begin until the initiation of Katara’s.
The water surrounding Aang features La, the ocean spirit. This detail is a callback to the Book One finale, in which Aang merges with La to unleash a devastating surge of power against the Fire Nation. In this context, Aang embodies the ocean spirit. His posture suggests push — the outward, driving force of energy.
In contrast, Katara bends water upward toward the moon, where you can see the beautiful details of Tui, the moon spirit. This references the intimate, sacred connection between the moon and waterbending. Throughout the series, Katara is repeatedly symbolized with the moon. She represents Tui: nurturing and divine. Her pose embodies pull — the receptive, drawing force.
Together, Aang and Katara symbolize push and pull, ocean and moon, life and death, yin and yang. Importantly, the two are not depicted as static or isolated in the picture, but instead in motion—encircling each other in a way that resembles dance. This composition visually reinforces the line from the series:
“Your moon and ocean have always circled each other in an eternal dance. They balance each other.”
The creators have stated that Aang and Katara are co-protagonists of the series, with their relationship forming its emotional core. Aang represents the spirit of ATLA; Katara, the heart. It is fitting, then, that Avatar Studios chose to celebrate their bond on the show’s 20th anniversary by invoking the show’s themes of harmony and balance; the interplay of yin and yang.
But wait! Am I suggesting that Avatar Studios is possibly alluding that the waterbender and airbender main characters — whose journeys we follow from the first to final episode, who have parallel arcs that center around revenge vs mercy — represent yin and yang?
Of course I am! Who else would it be, if not for the relationship between two waterbending partners? Who experience the same relationship trajectory as the moon and ocean spirits — death of their mate, destruction, and subsequent rebirth? (x - link to this amazing meta, summarized in the image below)
The only relationship that has complementary official art like this?
Allow me to conclude with a quote stated by Iroh from the official cookbook, that I think was exactly referenced in this artwork:
I named this blend after Aang and Katara, as their harmonious ways of bending began a new era of deeper understanding and cross-cultural exchange among all benders. This tea reflects their beautiful legacy. It grows atop the mountains of the southern islands, its flavour influenced by the region’s independent spirit and the mysterious fog created by water and air.
Discussing baby’s future
They are both doing the "I want" chitter. They very much want to get up, but they have a sleeping baby cuddling with them. They must endure, but they will not be silent about it
Well well well, kitties. Looks like you want to get up but there's a little cat on you so you can't. Very frustrating situation there, can't imagine the burden of being held down by a little adorable kittycat. Couldn't, as the kids say, be me.
so true
Official Wednesday post
It's Tuesday
Happy "Not Only Is It Not Friday, It's Not Even Thursday, Official Wednesday, It's Tuesday" Monday, everyone
My favourite part about the Ides of March as a holiday is that everyone involved is terrible, and everyone that comes after is terrible
Caesar is terrible, of course. But the Senatorial conspiracy that knifed him was one of absolutely rigid oligarchical arch-conservative anti-plebian "we are the Elite and that means we should be in charge" dickwads. And also idiots who assumed that they would be praised as heroes for killing the dude who had been doing things like "making sure the populace of Rome has enough bread to eat" and so on.
Marcus Antonious? Also a dick! Octavian? THE WORST DICK, who would absolutely ruthlessly and cynically use and sacrifice EVERYONE around him in his later quest for power and establishing himself as Augustus, princeps (first citizen) of Rome.
Everyone is awful. BEWARE THE IDES OF MARCH. It's fantastic.
I always assumed that this is exactly WHY it gained so much traction here.
I HOPE SO. And I love it.
This is still true.
Happy Everyone Is Awful, STAB!!! Day!
at some point you have to realize that you actually have to read to understand the nuance of anything. we as a society are obsessed with summarization, likely as a result of the speed demanded by capital. from headlines to social media (twitter being especially egregious with the character limit), people take in fragments of knowledge and run with them, twisting their meaning into a kaleidoscope that dilutes the message into nothing. yes, brevity is good, but sometimes the message, even when communicated with utmost brevity, requires a 300 page book. sorry.
IIRC, they had to terminate the project because the crows were attacking humans who were smoking cigarettes in order to get the "butt."

Saw this trending on X, so here is my take on Bridgerton couples and their demigod kids
It's okay to have blatant double standards that favor women
It's called fighting patriarchy and I do it with lesbian fervor
underrated part of new George RR Martin interview to me is really also the casually admitting that Jon Snow is like completely fucking fine in the winds draft. has multiple chapters and everything
he was just resting his eyes
Ladies, get yourself a man who says it's an honor to get a cold from taking care of you being ill.
