I love Zukka but I have genuine american dollars for a zutara author that will let me commission them for a semi serious fic!

Fully ignoring canon, Fire Lord Zuko actually thinks Katara is a child bride and is doing everything he can to stop her from returning to the Water Tribes after the war. He’s passing legislature against child brides, petitioning the other nations to do the same, they’re speaking at cross purposes, etc.

Katara is starting to understand that he feels guilty for how much the Fire Nation has destroyed her family and her village. But Zuko is absolutely making up stories in his head.

Zuko, thinking: No mother, father is the Chief but gone to war, small provisions for village, all equals political alliance with the North, how else to do that but arrange a marriage??

Katara, unknowingly confirming his worst fears: I have a duty to my people!

I’m being so for real, I have money for commission.

I decided to open tumblr on a fucking WHIM.

Why do I continually get my news from this hellscape of an app at the PERFECT TIME

Are there any modern aus where din is a ex-cultist?

I do not want to have a kiki with my server. I do not want to be personable!!

I want to order with a smile, enjoy my food, say thank you as much as I can. And then leave.

I don’t want to be perceived as the friendly regular. I want to be known as the “cryptid customer that says 6 words total but always tips 100%”

Apparently a part of the reason why farmed bees stay in the beehives that humans build for them is because the farm hives are safer and sturdier. I don't know how a busy Discord server's worth of bugs that only have one brain cell each would logically conclude that the humans protect them from outside threats, illness and parasites, but if I understood right, the bees would be free to move away and build a new nest somewhere else any time they'd want, and they simply choose not to.

You know how in almost every culture, people have some concept of "if I sacrifice something that I made/grew/produced to the Gods, they will ward me and my harvest from evil"?

So, in a way, don't the bees willingly sacrifice a part of their harvest to an entity not only far greater than them, but nearly beyond their comprehension, in exchange for protection against natural forces wildly outside of their own control?

So tell me, beekeepers, what are you to your bees, if not a mildly eldritch God?

I don’t know about other cultures, but in English folklore, when a beekeeper dies someone has to go out and tell the bees.

Imagine you’re a neolithic hunter-gatherer, just hanging out, sacrificing stuff to your god, when a new god you’ve never met before shows up and tells you that your god is dead, it’s not your fault or anything, and maybe a new god will come along to take care of you, maybe not, it’s gonna be touch and go for a while

Apparently in medieval Europe they also whispered secrets to the bees.

So imagine the mildly eldritch God you worship talks to you and tells you secrets, but these secrets make no sense to you and are incomprehensible to understand or even know they are secrets. But your God does make vibrations at you, so thats probably a good thing right??

Also occasionally the Swarm decides there is not enough room in the Hive because the eldritch god didn't take the offering of Honey at their normal time. So enough of a Swarm builds up that the second queen is able to leave without decimating the first Swarm. They are all set to search out a new place that will likely not have your God anymore (but really that's not too much of a struggle, they have abandoned you, that's part of why you've left, even though the first Swarm still holds out hope for their return).

And then, the scouts find another Hive right next to the old Hive. Literally right next to it. So the Queen lands to inspect it and wow, it's a good deal. The area already has enough food to support 2 Hives, so it's a not problem to stay in the area now that they have the space, but...this wasn't here before.

And then you see God, they've come to help the Swarm move to the new Hive and take the offering from the old Hive. Truly this must have been their plan all along

In English folklore, you ALSO have to invite your bees to your wedding, and decorate their hive, and leave a slice of cake for them, and also bring your new spouse by to introduce them to the hive straightaway. Imagine your eldritch god doing THAT.

#these polite beekeepers are just modeling the behavior they would like to see from their own god maybe? #perhaps if we could sting God he would tell us secrets

Living for fic where the Darksaber haunts Din but is there fic where Luke can’t even be in the same space as the Darksaber because it’s calling out to him instead as a force sensitive?

Or am I just talking about oh the things we left behind,,

I know this sounds so fucking terrible but every time I commission an artist and send them above the shoulder photos of me to use as reference, they draw me big enough to need two seats on an airplane.

Yes, I am a chubby girl. I consider myself fat! And I love my body! But it genuinely fucks with my head that you will look at my face and my shoulders and immediately imagine I’m 3x bigger.

1.5 hours west of Denver. We saw a deer and the stars were close enough to touch.

In a modern alternate universe where supernaturals and cryptids exist, had their own civil rights movement, have existed in the workforce and military for many decades, etc…

What would you call their non-monster counterparts? The people who are entirely human with nothing else to them.

What would the supernaturals call them? They can’t be “just human” cause some of these monsters are mostly human or they shift from human. So what in-universe name would they exist by?

What would you call these people?

Normies (what’s normal anyway?)

Un-enhanced (what a mouthful)

Firstborns (implies “god” made them first)

Muggles (does JKR deserve to exist here?)

Human (what need is there to make it distinct?)

Other (add in replies!

I’ve read two fic so far where Clark misreads Bruce & Dick’s relationship and thinks they’re together.

If you have more recs like this PLEASE share. This level of misunderstanding literally sends me into the stratosphere.

I always laugh at the autism tastebuds jokes.

I hate the taste of guava. It’s a shame but it makes my tongue think of fuzzy things.

My mom never believed me. She’d try to sneak both the fruit and the juice into different things but every time I’d be like, there’s something wrong here.

My husband and I love cranberry juice cocktails (juice blends, not alcohol). He recently bought a new one and said very confidently that he thinks I’d like it. It’s called CranTropical. He poured me a serving and after the first sip I scrunched my face and said, there’s something wrong here. Husband says, has it gone bad? I take a second sip and immediately say, there’s guava in this.

He laughs and says he doesn’t taste it, how can I single that out when there’s like 6 fruits?

I checked the bottle and omg. I will never make fun of my own tastebuds again.

hey! thanks for checking in! yeah, I know it's been ten years since captain america: the winter soldier came out but, yeah, I'm still thinking about it. I mean, at least now it only occupies, like, 40% of my thoughts daily but...what did you say? is it permanent? yeah, so far

I see a man with a back that ripples and I get such SEVERE gender envy

I want to be attractive man posting a thirst trap but don’t want to be man.

Wait wait wait.

Trans people of Slavic cultures! When you change your name, do you also update your patronymic suffix and your family name??

Like, Ivanovna to Ivanovich.

Cause that would be totally outing you if you’re suddenly Pyotr Ivanovna (Peter, Daughter of Ivan).

Or do you drop them entirely? Is it common to have your three names still?

I have a new friend who happens to be a very sheltered Christian 20-something. And she’s fine except for when she isn’t.

I mentioned in passing that I was Jewish to a different friend and she made the biggest deal saying she “didn’t know” which I’m like, well now you do.

After a beat, she says, “I thought you were Hispanic? Are you Jewish or Hispanic?”

And I really sat there with shock on my face when I said neither of those things were mutually exclusive.

And I know people can be ignorant without trying but she HAD to follow it up with “are you a religious Jew or a cultural Jew?” Which I felt was way too much for a passing comment.

Am I being weird about it?? I just hate super tactless questions like those.

I feel like there’s a connection between tumblr “coming back” and Ben Barnes return to media via T-Mobile commercials.

But I’m too stupid to make it.
