Learn to say ‘no’ without explaining yourself.

Still cleaning out closets and boxes. Found this lovely key animation sequence of Azula from the Avatar series finale. I think this is by Jung Hye Young, or maybe Myoung Ga Young…? I’m pretty sure Lauren Montgomery storyboarded this acting. Incredible expressions and movement on the hair.

sorry if you have already been asked this. In your Opinion, how does Gale differ from Bellamy? And how does Madge differ from Clarke? just Curious on your thoughts!

This is an EXCELLENT question nonny, and while I’ve circled this a few times I don’t know if I’ve tackled it explicitly.

Gale vs. Bellamy: I think the easiest way to answer this is that Bellamy is Gale if Gale was given the chance to learn from his mistakes at the end of Mockingjay. Early-to-mid season one Bellamy is the most Gale-like, with his rousing speeches against the Establishment, hard edges, and rough justice. He doesn’t necessarily want to hurt people, but he will if it means keeping those he cares about safe (which is very similar to “It’s no different than hunting people.”)

However, the major difference is we see Bellamy after his big mistake–in this case the Culling, and I would say he’s roughly equally responsible for the Culling as Gale is for the Bomb. Neither was directly responsible for pulling the trigger, but both took a direct action (destroying the radio/designing the bomb) that lead to the foreseeable deaths of hundreds. All we see of Gale after the Bomb is through Katniss’s shell-shocked, grieving eyes, so we don’t know how remorseful he is. I like to think he is genuinely remorseful– Gale loved Prim, after all– but we don’t see his redemption arc. With Bellamy, we see him learn from his mistakes and move past them to become more than just a soldier with rage issues. (I think it’s also worth noting that Katniss has some very Bellamy-like tendencies at the start of THG, but her crucible– the Games– happens much, much earlier than Gale’s. Hence the draw of Gadge, with Madge in the Peeta role.)

Madge vs. Clarke: These two ladies– although both are excellent– are fairly different, imo. They are both smart and a little ruthless (You’d better believe Madge wouldn’t have gone down without a fight if she was Reaped), but I see Madge as both a little more fun than Clarke “Watch Me Declare How Fun I Am In The Most Awkward Way Possible” Griffin, as well as less of a leader than Clarke. I see Madge as more of a spy (she stole newspapers for Katniss on the rebellion) than a figurehead. However, they do both come from privilege and seem acutely aware of both the benefits of their station as well as the consequences.

It’s a little harder to draw out the differences between these two because we get so little of Madge in canon, so a lot of her personality (including my aforementioned “Madge is more fun at a party” theory) is drawn from fanon, but for the record: Madge would be a huge Clarke Griffin fangirl, while Clarke would turn to Madge for hugs when she needs them.

Well ok Kesha, maybe it’s because you’re an auto tuned peice of shit who shouldn’t be famous, you have no Buisness being in the music industry, it’s not even your music you fuck, someone else wrote it for you to record and them to auto tune yourself. And it’s not at all good . It’s not positive either. So complain some more.

I don’t know if you know this, tumblr user koolkidseatgreens, but Ke$ha is a certified genius. She has an IQ over 140 and an SAT score of 1500. When she was younger she would go to the library and do research for fun. Ke$ha is a both feminist and an advocate for equal marriage/rights for people of any sexuality, being a queer woman herself.

Ke$ha is a smart, professional woman, and just because she sings songs about wanting to let loose and have fun every once in a while doesn’t make her a piece of shit.

Ke$ha’s songs are meant to point out the sexism in our media. She treats men the same way many men in the music industry treat women, and she is hated on for it. Relentlessly. She sings on multiple occasions about taking charge in a sexual relationship, of how she only uses men for their body parts. She sexualizes men to make them uncomfortable. She sexualizes men for a reaction, so that people can both see why women are so uncomfortable with their sexualization and also to point out the inequality between the sexes both in the media and in the world at large.

She is judged so harshly for singing about things that make many men famous.

If you listen to Ke$ha’s deconstructed album you will see that she actually has some talent, which may be hard to hear because she does in fact use a fair amount of autotune. This is because of her genre and because of the kind of music she chooses to create as an artist. Ke$ha may not write her songs, but this doesn’t meant she isn’t a good artist or a good person. This doesn’t mean she deserves your harsh words. Some singers are good at writing, but that’s hardly a requirement. Last time I checked whether or not you can sing has nothing to do with whether or not you’re a poet.

You should not be calling anyone a piece of shit, my friend, especially someone you’ve never sat down and had a conversation (or even taken the time to wonder about her feelings!), but if anyone deserves that kind of language it’s not Ke$ha.

You may think that by shaming women for expressing their sexuality and having fun every once in a while, that you are somehow abolishing sexism. That in weeding out the less ‘deserving’ women you are gaining our sex more respect. This is not the case, and the fact that you and many others feel such a strong need to shame this woman who has done nothing wrong, especially not to you, shows that we still have a very far away to go.

Um I’m just going to add, Ke$ha actually does write her own songs. For example, here’s her first album’s tracklist:

She has also ritten for other artists, probably most famously “‘Till The World Ends” by Britney Spears, which is part of why she’s on the remix of it. She wrote for years and was even the female voice on Flo Rida’s “Right Round” but refused to be credited because she didn’t want her first single to not be her own work. She spent years, starting at the age of 15, writing music before she came out with her album because she wanted to make sure it was all her own and all what she wanted to do.

You can even get all her unreleased music which, combined with her actual albums, is 10.3 hours according to my iTunes playlist. Some artists have been around for twice as long as her and haven’t written that many songs.

Not only have critics proclaimed she could be a country star if she ever leaves the pop music business (which is showcased on her unreleased track “Goodbye”), but she’s actually the daughter of a very talented country songwriter. Her music is actually fairly well praised by the music critics community and if you listened to any of her songs that her record won’t let her release as singles—“Last Goodbye”, “The Harold Song”, “Only Wanna Dance With You”, any of her ballads—she can write multiple styles of songs. She’s just stuck in a box of what she can release and then shallow minded people call her dumb for having fun.
