love is a flame âa.r.
kind of obsessed with rowdy as a euphemism for queer in cloudward ho. you're rowdy. you're too loud. you cause trouble. you make me uncomfortable. you're not being how i want you to be. you go places and you do things that i don't think are proper. you don't live how i think you should live. and you're so in my face about it. you're one of those..... rowdies. like come ON that's so good.
25 ways to be a little more punk in 2025
Cut fast fashion - buy used, learn to mend and/or make your own clothes, buy fewer clothes less often so you can save up for ethically made quality
Cancel subscriptions - relearn how to pirate media, spend $10/month buying a digital album from a small artist instead of on Spotify, stream on free services since the paid ones make you watch ads anyway
Green your community - there's lots of ways to do this, like seedbombing or joining a community garden or organizing neighborhood trash pickups
Be kind - stop to give directions, check on stopped cars, smile at kids, let people cut you in line, offer to get stuff off the high shelf, hold the door, ask people if they're okay
Intervene - learn bystander intervention techniques and be prepared to use them, even if it feels awkward
Get closer to your food - grow it yourself, can and preserve it, buy from a farmstand, learn where it's from, go fishing, make it from scratch, learn a new ingredient
Use opensource software - try LibreOffice, try Reaper, learn Linux, use a free Photoshop clone. The next time an app tries to force you to pay, look to see if there's an opensource alternative
Make less trash - start a compost, be mindful of packaging, find another use for that plastic, make it a challenge for yourself!
Get involved in local politics - show up at meetings for city council, the zoning commission, the park district, school boards; fight the NIMBYs that always show up and force them to focus on the things impacting the most vulnerable folks in your community
DIY > fashion - shake off the obsession with pristine presentation that you've been taught! Cut your own hair, use homemade cosmetics, exchange mani/pedis with friends, make your own jewelry, duct tape those broken headphones!
Ditch Google - Chromium browsers (which is almost all of them) are now bloated spyware, and Google search sucks now, so why not finally make the jump to Firefox and another search like DuckDuckGo? Or put the Wikipedia app on your phone and look things up there?
Forage - learn about local edible plants and how to safely and sustainably harvest them or go find fruit trees and such accessible to the public.
Volunteer - every week tutoring at the library or once a month at the humane society or twice a year serving food at the soup kitchen, you can find something that matches your availability
Help your neighbors - which means you have to meet them first and find out how you can help (including your unhoused neighbors), like elderly or disabled folks that might need help with yardwork or who that escape artist dog belongs to or whether the police have been hassling people sleeping rough
Fix stuff - the next time something breaks (a small appliance, an electronic, a piece of furniture, etc.), see if you can figure out what's wrong with it, if there are tutorials on fixing it, or if you can order a replacement part from the manufacturer instead of trashing the whole thing
Mix up your transit - find out what's walkable, try biking instead of driving, try public transit and complain to the city if it sucks, take a train instead of a plane, start a carpool at work
Engage in the arts - go see a local play, check out an art gallery or a small museum, buy art from the farmer's market
Go to the library - to check out a book or a movie or a CD, to use the computers or the printer, to find out if they have other weird rentals like a seed library or luggage, to use meeting space, to file your taxes, to take a class, to ask question
Listen local - see what's happening at local music venues or other events where local musicians will be performing, stop for buskers, find a favorite artist, and support them
Buy local - it's less convenient than online shopping or going to a big box store that sells everything, but try buying what you can from small local shops in your area
Become unmarketable - there are a lot of ways you can disrupt your online marketing surveillance, including buying less, using decoy emails, deleting or removing permissions from apps that spy on you, checking your privacy settings, not clicking advertising links, and...
Use cash - go to the bank and take out cash instead of using your credit card or e-payment for everything! It's better on small businesses and it's untraceable
Give what you can - as capitalism churns on, normal shmucks have less and less, so think about what you can give (time, money, skills, space, stuff) and how it will make the most impact
Talk about wages - with your coworkers, with your friends, while unionizing! Stop thinking about wages as a measure of your worth and talk about whether or not the bosses are paying fairly for the labor they receive
Think about wealthflow - there are a thousand little mechanisms that corporations and billionaires use to capture wealth from the lower class: fees for transactions, interest, vendor platforms, subscriptions, and more. Start thinking about where your money goes, how and where it's getting captured and removed from our class, and where you have the ability to cut off the flow and pass cash directly to your fellow working class people
I mostly talk about transit and local politics but seriously do as much of this as you can, it really does help
Love love love characters that present themselves as emotionally open social butterflies but the more you see of them the more obvious it is that theyâre the most closed off fuckers in the story. Sure, they want to help you with your personal problems and messy emotions, but if you turn that shit back on them, theyâll shut down or deflect every time. Why are you sticking your nose in their business anyway? Itâs not like it matters. Theyâre not a person, theyâre just a role being played. Theyâre the guy who fixes things and saves people. Please ignore the man behind the mask, heâs fine. Everythingâs fine.
howâs that house that raised you?
more on writing muslim characters from a hijabi muslim girl
- hijabis get really excited over pretty scarves - they also like to collect pins and brooches - we get asked a lot of questions and it can be annoying or it can be amusing, just depends on our mood and personality and how the question is phrased - common questions include: - ânot even water?â (referring to fasting) - hijabis hear a lot of âdo you sleep in that?â (we donât) and âwhere is your hair?â (in a bun or a braid, usually) - âis it mooze-slim or mozzlem?â (the answer is neither, itâs muslim, with a soft s and accent on the first syllable) - âee-slam or iz-lamb?â (itâs iss-laam, accent on the first syllable) - âhee-job?â (heh-jahb, accent on the second syllable)
- âkor-an?â (no. quran. say it like koor-annn, accent on the second syllable) - people tend to mess up our names really badly and you just get a sigh and a resigned nod or an awkward smile, maybe a nickname instead - long hair is easy to hide, short hair is harder to wrap up - hijab isnât just covering hair, itâs also showing as little skin as possible with the exception of face, hands, and feet, and not wearing tight/sheer clothing - that applies to men too, people just donât like to mention it ( i wonder why) - henna/mehendi isnât just for special occasions, youâll see people wearing it for fun - henna/mehendi isnât just for muslims, either, itâs not a religious thing - henna/mehendi is not just for women, men also wear it, especially on their weddings - there are big mehendi parties in the couple of nights before eid where people (usually just women and kids) gather and do each otherâs mehendi, usually just hands and feet - five daily prayers - most muslim kids can stutter through a couple verses of quran in the original arabic text by the age of seven or eight, it does not matter where they live or where theyâre from or what language they speak natively - muslim families tend to have multiple copies of the quran - there are no âversionsâ of the quran, there has only ever been one. all muslims follow the exact same book - muslims have no concept of taking Godâs name in vain, we call on God at every little inconvenience - donât use islamic phrases if you donât know what they mean or how to use them. we use them often, inside and outside of religious settings. in islam, it is encouraged to mention God often and we say these things very casually, but we take them very seriously - Allahu Akbar means âGod is Greatestâ (often said when something shocks or surprises us, or if weâre scared or daunted, or when something amazing happens, whether it be good or bad; itâs like saying âoh my godâ) - Subhan Allah means âGlory be to Godâ (i say subhan Allah at the sky, at babies, at trees, whatever strikes me as pleasant, especially if itâs in nature) - Bismillah means âin the name of Godâ and itâs just something you say before you start something like eating or doing your homework - In Shaa Allah means âif God willsâ (example: youâll be famous, in shaa Allah) (itâs a reminder that the future is in Godâs hands, so be humble and be hopeful)
- Astaghfirullah means âi seek forgiveness from Allahâ and itâs like âgod forgive meâ - Alhamdulillah means âall thanks and praise belong to Godâ and itâs just a little bit more serious than saying âthank godâ (example: i passed my exams, alhamdulillah; i made it home okay, alhamdulillah) - when i say we use them casually, i really mean it - teacher forgot to assign homework? Alhamdulillah - our version of âamenâ is âameenâ - muslims greet each other with âassalamu alaikumâ which just means âpeace be on youâ and itâs like saying hi - the proper response is âwalaikum assalamâ which means âand on you be peaceâ and itâs like saying âyou tooâ
As a Muslim this post is so very important and it makes me so happy that it gives the small facts and details that one might be unaware of or confused about.

Early season 1 when Aang is talking to Roku instead of being chained up sokka katara and zuko are thrown into a cell together
Zuko: oh spirits this is bad. Fuck fuck fuck my fatherâs going to kill me
Sokka: wtf??? How is this bad for you?? Ur the prince?? Like weâre w/ the avatar obvi this is bad for us but why the fuck are you even in the cell??
Zuko: Iâm banished, idiot. By going into fire nation waters Iâve committed treason and greatly disrespected my father! Heâll be furious with me!!
Katara: ur his son Iâm sure it wonât be that bad
Zuko: the last time I disrespected him he burned half my face off
Katara and Sokka: *horrified silence*
Sokka: oh my fucking spirits thatâs awful
Zuko: what? No itâs not. It was my fault
Sokka:
Katara: *repeatedly under her breath* wtf wtf wtf wtf-
Sokka:
Sokka: zuko I cannot stress enough how much that was not your fault
Zuko: yes it was I spoke out of turn and disrespected him in front of his whole war council. He had every right to punish me how he saw fit, including banishing me
Sokka: he banished and burned half your face off just because you talked out of turn??!?????
Zuko: I mean I insulted one of his generals but the man was planning on sacrificing an untrained unit for no reason! It would have been a massacreïżŒ! Quit judging me!!
Sokka: tui and la what the fuck
Katara: ok. zuko weâre adopting you now
Zuko: what?? No youâre not???
Cue zuko going along with them when aang busts them out bc he has no other options, having to stay with them cus theyâre lowkey kidnapping him/he has no other option, and our boi slowly joining them/realizing what happened was fucked up. Also katara introducing him to their dad as âsokkas boyfreind slash your new son and my new brotherâ
oh oh oh oh oh oh my gods I'm not sure I've ever wanted a fic so badly in my life oh my gods And Zuko being all confused like you were not there? I had not even told you the entire story before you formed an opinion? How tf can you say it wasn't my fault? Katara: *deep breathing* Sokka: Okay so. You are like. MAYBE one or two years older than me. You are barely an adult, if that. Your father had no right - Zuko: What does my age have to do with it? I was an unruly child! How else was I going to learn? Katara: Zuko I'm going to ask you this once, and then I'm going to need you both to pray that I don't somehow have some Waterbender version of the Avatar state: your scar looks like it's been healed a while. How long ago did this happen? Zuko: A bit over two years ago? Why? *Five minutes later* Aang: Wow, guys! What happened? I couldn't find you but then I could hear you both yelling from the other side of the island!
Djdhdjjchchd I love this addition
Also, 2 days later while zuko is still lowkey being kiddnapped Aang is in the woods foraging a little bit away from camp and just hears this being yelled:
What do you mean you didnât fight back?!??!?
You were thirteen????
You were kneeling????
He said WHAT!?!????!
Aang is. Very concerned.
Itâs quiet for ten minutes before sokka yells:
âHoly shit no one knew the avatar was gonna come back when he banished you!!!â
Zuko haz no idea how to deal with ppl being upset on his behalf
Aang and up finding out what they were talking about. And he gets so pissed he threatens to go straight to the fire lord, avatar state activated, and fight him right then and there for doing that to a child
They stop him of course
But Aang still wants to do it
Aang: All life is sacred
Zuko: Yeah my Dad scarred me when I was 13 I deserved it though
Aang: . . .
Aang, arrows glowing: Most lives are sacred
PLS I am BEGGING someone write this fanfic (or a bit of it) and TAG ME
Lunar Witch đ
The Blue Spirit putting out firebending with a bucket of water is the absolute funniest thing ever done in avatar combat. It just is.
katara:Â *kicks zukoâs ass without even blinking* zuko:
I literally just watched this episode, and I'm sorry, but there's one thing funnier:
Zuko couldn't speak during this whole fight/escape in case someone recognized his voice. Can you imagine the frustration he must have felt having to go through an entire fight without yelling? Zuko???
Especially while dealing with Aangâs shenanigans?!?!?!
One of my favorite parts of rewatching the episode is imagining everything that must have been going through Zukoâs head during that escape.
Aang: Wait! My friends need to suck on those frogs!
Zuko, trying not yell out of anger and confusion:
It gets funnier when you think that he could absolutely, no problem go through a battle without yelling once, as seen here and yet chooses to be a dramatic gay and holler at the top of his lungs at every opportunity.Â
That says a lot about how he firebends vs how he fights with the dao blades.
He actually can't, at this point, fight without yelling if he's using firebending. In The Firebending Masters, he says he's been relying on anger and rage to fuel his bending, so yeah, in every firebending fight, he's drawing on rage and hyping that up by yelling. Someone has pointed out that after he finds the original source of firebending, he stops yelling all the time - I haven't checked that personally but it does seem accurate.
But he doesn't need to draw on fury to firebend hen he's the Blue Spirit. He can fight in total silence when he's working with a weapon he's more in touch with, when he doesn't need to draw on hate or anger to fuel it.
you left the village boasting of how youâd slay the forest witch, but like every other fool before you, youâve come back sworn to her service.
read crierâs war by nina varela for some good f/f enemies to lovers content!! đĄïžđ„
Can we just stop and talk about this for a minute?
Thresh doesnât make an alliance. Thresh doesnât waste time liking her. Thresh knows that either he must kill her or she must kill him for one of them to win.
But this is the only way he can repay her for protecting Rue when he couldnât. Itâs the only way he can repay her for honoring Rue when he couldnât. He honors her by sparing her friend, the girl who would have died for her.
The revolution really doesnât start with Katniss.
It starts with Rue.
SOMEBODY FINALLY SAID IT
This is exactly the point Iâve been trying to make for years. Okay, so the revolution gets itâs kindling with Katniss. She volunteers, well thatâs new, she rebels in the display of talents by shooting the apple. This triggers her perfect score, okay. These arenât really âRevolutionaryâ though.Â
Itâs not even revolutionary when Peeta professes his love, because, letâs face it, the rules of the game havenât changed. Theyâre still just two kids who would have to KILL each other to win. Without a doubt, it would bring some interest to the games, so the Capitol makes propaganda about it. The âStar Crossed Loversâ in a game of life and death.
But what changes the game is Rue. Right away from her introduction in the books we know Rue is going to be somewhat of a big deal. She was compared to the most important character to Katniss, Prim, so thatâs a huge indicator. Sheâs small, young, sheâs what Prim would have been.
So Katniss instantly feels a subconscious pull toward her.Â
When they meet in the trees, Katniss could have killed Rue easily, and Rue probably could have pulled a sneak attack or alerted the Careers of Katnissâs presence. Instead, Rue points out the Tracker Jacker nest.
Then it escalates, Rue and Katniss become an odd team, theyâre an alliance, which is never new in the Hunger Games, as forming teams and then betraying them at the end seems to be a common, but thereâs is different. Itâs close, itâs sisterly, protective.
And then Rue getâs impaled. Katniss kills her first tribute with ease after that. Comparing it to hunting game. Katniss holds Rue, she cries, and then she sings. She sings for Rue a song of promised safety and warmth, something completely absent in the arena.Â
And this is where the metaphorical canon fires. Katniss could have left Rue, the hovercraft would have been along to pick her up, but she canât. Sheâs morally obligated to love this girl as much as possible. And this is where the revolution starts.Â
She honors the dead. She honors a dead tribute from a district sheâd never seen, a person sheâd known for only a short period of time. But she throws away Hunger Games norms. She rejects them completely.
In the Hunger Games youâre supposed to kill mercilessly and leave the victims for the plain box theyâre shipped home in.Â
Katniss gives Rue a funeral in the Games, she decorates the body, she makes it look like Rue is sleeping. Like no harm had come. Katniss just ignited the coals that Rue had placed.
Rueâs District sends a parachute. Homemade bread.Â
Then Thresh kills Clove and distracts Cato by taking his bag.Â
The fire is going now, and the actions in Catching Fire are even more obvious.
The Speech for Rue. Peetaâs painting. Everything eludes back to this one little girl who became Katnissâs family.
So the revolution never started with Katniss, she was just the tinder for Rueâs ignition.Â
Rue was the real Mockingjay.
Also, whoâs four note whistle is constantly attached to the trailers?
Rueâs whistle.
Rue is omnipresent in the books and movies, and I absolutely love it.
The rebellion was started because the innocence of a black girl was defiled.
That is a powerful statement that a lot of people gloss over for this book
ARE YA READY KIDS? itâs blue team aftereffects time!
the first time diana grew moss, akko immediately panicked and thought it was greenmanâs disease. she didnât want her friend to decay! but a very long and arduous examination revealed that the condition was not greenmanâs at all â dianaâs body was merely reacting to the lack of sleep caused by her overachieving nature. diana never wants to be seen sprouting, now, and sucy and amanda never let her live it down. sucy even purposefully angers her so she can harvest her annoyance-fueled leaves and mushrooms.
aftereffects can indeed be managed, and diana wouldnât leave her room until she mastered this. (âA witch who cannot control her own magic is no witch at all,â she once retorted.)
most people assume that hannah and barbara have learned to control their aftereffects like diana. but the truth is that most of their aftereffects go unnoticed because theyâre rarely visible. the two have long gotten used to sharing thoughts, emotions, and experiences, and even welcome it at this point. hannah can recite night fallâs plot in its entirety thanks to how often she accidentally tunes in to barbara and lotteâs book club meetings.
suddenly remembered this poem as i was making breakfast this morning & frantically googled âpoem remembered to buy eggs?????????â & somehow managed to find it & it utterly knocked the wind out of me just as much as when i first read it
translation: âMy sheep! [bah! bah!] You are my life. [bah! bah!] Walk behind meâŠ[bah! bah!] Sing (after me).â
