i genuinely did not remember how fucked up the plot of robots (2005) was like. rich robot capitalists stop manufacturing certain parts to cause poor robots to become obsolete so they can be melted down and their metal remains used to create more high end products in the name of profit like wow thats genuinely horrifying for a movie whos target audience was mainly 8 year olds
to this day i cannot BELIEVE aang called up and blew off like nine avatars just because they didnt offer any vegan options to ending the war
Dear god, sleepy intimacy makes me so very happy.
One person sleeping with their head on the other person’s lap. Getting all drowsy-snuggly when they’re too tired to see straight. Being tucked in and kissed on the forehead before they pass out. Gentle touches while they drift off. Trusting the other person to watch over them and make sure nothing happens to them while they’re out.
Just… sleepy intimacy, man.
Iroh Theory!! During the episode “Sokka’s Master”, we see Iroh in his cell with a single window, both during the moonlit night and during the sunny day. The clip above has three phases:
Iroh watching the sun come in the window.
Iroh’s eyes open wide in surprise/realization.
Iroh immediately beginning sit ups/getting in shape/skills that become useful to break out of prison during the eclipse.
So here’s my theory: Iroh has never heard of the eclipse yet. Azula found out in Ba Sing Se when Katara told her, Sokka and the Gaang know from the library, but no one else in the fire nation knows yet. As Iroh journeyed home as a POW, it’s unlikely Azula shared this information with him. So how does he know there will be an eclipse during which huge, shredded muscles will break him out and firebenders will be powerless to stop him? Because he’s been watching the angles of the sun and moon coming in his window and realizes they’re on a collision course. And immediately begins getting jacked. This man studied everything, and astronomy is just the last in a long line of fields he’s mastered.
Malignant compliance is an effective tool to keep in obese quiver
It’s more commonly known as “work-to-rule” and here’s a great story about one case of its successful use.
https://libcom.org/blog/work-rule-11052014
“The day after Starbucks workers met at the Bat Cave we found ourselves working an understaffed morning shift but this time it was different. Instead of feeling the normal frustration, those of us who were at the meeting exchanged knowing glances and began implementing our plan of following every rule, thereby slowing down service. We also whispered to partners who were not in the know to slow down, don’t kill yourself. It was as if everyone took a deep breath and began working at a safe and thorough pace. The effects were instant. The speed of service dropped immediately. We ran out of brewed coffee because we were only brewing when the beeper signaled it was time. Everyone stayed in the positions they were assigned and acted only at the directions of the Store Manager. Every 10 minutes when someone was assigned to clean the lobby, we did a thorough job, ensuring everything was clean and properly stocked. Every drink and food order was perfect.
Dan, the Store Manager, lost his mind.”
Also sometimes referred to as “malicious compliance”, and it’s my favorite thing
compilation of defaced racist monuments feel free to add more!

Don’t go praising Korra and Asami’s progressiveness by mentioning only Korra as a poc and failing to acknowledge that Asami’s a poc as well
In case it’s not sinking in: no one in the Avatarverse is white, full stop. Anyone who’s pale-skinned is coded as eastern Asian.
And yes, this still applies even if they have auburn hair or whatever. Pigment mutations laugh at your ethnocentrism.
Reblog to make a fandom racist cry.
#her fucking name is asami sato#that’s a japanese-ass name
The Fire Nation is Japanese. The Earth Kingdom is Chinese. The Air Nomads are Tibetan. The Water Tribes are Inuit.
There are other peoples out there, but they are mostly just fantasy versions of other Asian or Native peoples.
Korra is an Inuit, Asami is Japanese, and Mako and Bolin are mixed race Chinese/Japanese.
This is an over-simplification. The Avatarverse combines cultures quite often.
For example:
1. The Northern Water Tribe, while also being Inuit-inspired, has Chinese-inspired architecture. Note the circular doors.
2. The character of Song from Zuko alone is very clearly wearing a Korean hanbok. She is from the Earth Kingdom.
3. The Kyoshi Island Warriors dress in kendo uniform-inspired outfits and wear Kabuki-inspired facepaint, both Japanese, despite being Earth Kingdom.
Also, the Fire Nation is most certainly not primarily Japanese-inspired.
1. They had initially planned to base the design of their armor on samurai armor. This is where the misconception typically originates from. However, it was changed before the show came out and they switched to Tang dynasty style armor. Note the pointed, up-turned toes. That is a feature of Tang dynasty armor. The shoes worn by samurai had rounded toes.
2. Look at the clothing of the Fire Nation Royal family. It looks nothing like a kimono. They are wearing hanfu. That panel of cloth attached to the front of the belt is called a bixi. The hairpieces they wear are based off guan, and the practice of distinguishing the heir through a specific headpiece is Han Chinese in origin. The pointed layers of cloth worn over their shoulders are inspired by Thai dance costumes.
3. The commoners’ clothes in Book 3 appear to be inspired by Thai clothing.
4. Fire Nation cuisine is notably spicy. Japanese cuisine is not. However, Thai cuisine is and so are some variants of Chinese cuisine.
5. Zuko’s broadswords are Chinese dao swords.
Yes, the Fire Nation might draw some parallels to World War II Japan in its actions, but its material culture is most certainly not Japanese-inspired.
I know that you mean no harm by parroting the error that the Fire Nation is Japanese-inspired. It is a common misconception that gets circulated due to misinformation and a lack familiarity with Asian culture. It just gets tedious sometimes, for people of Chinese descent, like me, when parts of our culture get misattributed to Japan simply because Japanese culture is more familiar (sometimes, we think “more fashionable”) to Westerners.
she who controls the frogs controls it all

this… is an incredible cosplay. like this looks like a costume design for what the live action could have been.
when you google the lyrics of a song and realize you’ve been singing nonsense for 6 months
