Tilda Swinton as the White Witch is one of the greatest book-to-screen portrayals of a fantasy character in the history of feature-length films.

Fight me.

So it’s canon that Katniss Everdeen is really small right? Well I like to think that during the first games with rue it went something like this:

K: GRRRR I’LL KILL ANYONE THAT EVEN LOOKS AT YOU RUE!! I’LL PROTECT YOU!! YOU ARE A SMALL CHILD AND I AM NOW YOUR MOTHER

R: Kat you know you’re like half an inch taller than me right?

You wanna tell me why the illustratior for the lion the witch and the wardrobe made my boy aslan look like pennywise the freakin clown?

oh my GOSH????? these Air Acolytes are straight up not going to respect Kya and Bumi because they’re not Airbenders?????

[volkswagonblues]

OK THIS GETS A REBLOG RESPONSE BECAUSE I think it’s one of the dumber elements of LoK that really reflects (to put this nicely) the limited white worldview of its creators.

Because when you look at the three Aang/Katara kids, I think you can see all the shallow ways that the showrunners approach culture and heritage. 

Bumi isn’t a bender -> he wears non specific/ generically military clothes. 

Kya is a waterbender -> she’s dark skinned and dresses Water Tribe. 

Tenzin is an airbender -> he’s pale and wears the orange robes.

…RIGHT. OKAY. That’s not how culture is transmitted, and that’s not how mixed families work. 

It’s like, is it really that hard to imagine a mixed kid who looks like both their parents and who inherits a mix of traits from both of them? Or a X-passing kid who is still very much in touch with their X+Y roots? 

Wouldn’t it be much more interesting if Aang and Katara had a kid who looks like their mom, but is super into Air Nomad culture and practises vegetarianism and pacifism, but who also happens to be a waterbender? Or a non-bender kid who’s like “yeah, just because I have to use a modified glider doesn’t make me less Air Nomad”?  Or like a surly little airbender who’s like “yeah I KNOW I don’t technically need a fur parka to keep myself warm, but I insist on wearing my blue one everywhere anyways because I think it’s COOL”. Wouldn’t it be more interesting to see how this family juggle the values and practices of two disparate cultures and combines them in new ways? 

…because that’s what real mixed families do.

The snowflakes on Georgie Henley’s eyelashes when she walks through the wardrobe to Narnia for the first time and that awestruck look on her little face has me like:

I hope Avan Jogia knows that I would marry him on the spot.

No questions.

No thoughts.

Just love.

The last toa book was dropped and I’m so emotional I don’t even want to read it bc I don’t want the series to end. But I have to I’ve already seen spoilers (how do y’all read a whole novel in one night??) so I guess I’ll order it today 🙄

Also a reminder

YALL BETTER NOT GO RAGING ABOUT SPOILERS LIKE YOU DID FOR TBM I WONT FORGIVE THIS TIME

[incorrect-riordanverse]

I just ordered it and now I’m bawling my eyes out because I found out it was the last Percy Jackson book and this series has been part of my childhood 😃

[incorrect-riordanverse]

*me cutely unfollowing all riordanverse related accounts bc I’ve seen five posts with spoilers and no warnings today and i don’t want to risk anything ever again*

HOW DO YALL READ SO QUICK WTFFF

[incorrect-riordanverse]

@max-armenta I’m probably not going to read it for another month since I ordered it today and the shipping is so slow. If I do post about it before then I’ll put a very bold, obvious spoiler warning like I did for when tyrant’s tomb was released. And I’ll tag it ‘tower of Nero’ too for the first monnth of release, unless you guys as my followers want me to wait longer before removing spoiler warnings.
