can't stop thinking about tamsyn muir's choice to present her deep, morally and politically complex science fantasy world with a central web of magic, secrets and lies reaching back ten thousand years through the eyes of three characters who:

1. tune out and start thinking about hot women whenever the magic system or worldbuilding are being explained

2. experience hallucinations on a daily basis, have brain damage and are being deceived and misled by their peers, authority figures, themselves and God

3. don't know who they are, have spent their entire life in one place and are, on all levels but physical, six months old

It should be illegal to put sentences like these in the same book and every day I thank Tamsyn for my life 😭

“The Ninth house is deep in their blood debt and I am undone by their expense. I-I did not want to hurt you, Griddle! I didn’t want to disturb your - equilibrium.”

“Harrow,” said Gideon, “if my heart had a dick you would kick it.”

How to Write Enemies to Lovers Correctly:

Wrong ❌: "I hate him but omgggg look at his abs!!"

The Walrus and her Fairy friend Were strolling down the block; They paused and then debated on Which one of them should knock: ‘You know, this might be easier If we just pick the lock!'

‘If I’m the one to do it And they find me standing here, Do you suppose,' the Walrus asked, That they would shriek in fear?' The Fairy said ‘I bet they would,’ And shed a bitter tear.

The Walrus and the Fairy then Walked on a little more, And came upon the house That they’d identified before. They flipped a coin to see which one Would now approach the door.

‘O Tumblrina, let me in!' The Walrus did beseech. ‘A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk, For I have much to teach.’ (The sounds of this discussion Were within the Fairy’s reach.)

The Tumblr user looked at him, But never a word they said: Too wowed by this new circumstance To even shake their head. ‘Would you prefer,’ the Walrus sighed, A Fairy’s knock instead?’

‘The time has come,' the Fairy said, Accepting his new role, ‘We must admit this visit Is in service of a goal: And then the two together cried, ‘We’re here to take a poll!’

genuinely one of the worst things that’s happened to television in the last few years (exacerbated by streaming services) is death of Filler. going from 20 episodes to 8 because “we didn’t really need that episode where the main characters went to the beach right? it had no long lasting effect” but we DID!!! we needed to see how they act without the Big Bad Plot and to establish the dynamics between the characters and lay in the sun (do they forget sunscreen? how do they react to a thieving seagull? do they get buried in the sand or do they do the burying?). the plot isn’t everything. the action doesn’t hit as hard without the quiet moments. give us character development and our little scenes back

I had to pause the show, I am currently at the fight scene between Bumi and Aang. I have to say the characterisations of most of the characters so far have disappointed me. I can't help but compare to the OG ATLA because its literally based off the show and the characters in the animated series are already so fully fledged and complex, the live active just had to follow suit, instead of adding their own interpretations. I'll comment about main characters after I've watched the whole series but now,

Jet and the Freedom Fighters: They were casted so brilliantly!! And the actor for Jet did the absolute perfect job in being the charismatic leader of the 'lost boys' who lived in the trees. What I didn't like was how Netflix labelled him a "terrorist" and "acting out of hate". They outrightly labelled what he was doing, which made him less of complex character vs the animated series portraying him as a boy dealing with the traumas of loss and war, finding family with others who had to deal with the same loss, and failing to see the complexities of war. I don't know, the characterisation in Netflix's ATLA feels off.

Uncle Iroh: I like that Netflix addressed that he was a war criminal and how that affected the soldier on a personal level as well. But when Iroh said "War pushes us to the edge. I wasn't talking about me", I felt again that it does not feel like the Iroh I know from the animated series. The Iroh, who regretted his past decisions, the Iroh who was compassionate and on the search for enlightenment, the Iroh who was part of the White Lotus as a way of redeeming himself. Even the fight scene in the animated series, he did not use any firebending againts the Earthbender soldiers but in the Netflix one he did. In the animated series, it was significant to me that he did not use firebending (only the chains) -- from his past, he understood that he should not use his power to oppress. Somehow, without explicitly fleshing our Iroh's past, the animated series succeeded in creating a more complex, fully fledged character.

Lastly, BUMI T.T I understand that Netflix wanted to set the show in the context of war and so it kept bringing it up and I understood that the Netflix characterisation of Bumi was trying to act as a foil to Aang: someone who lived through 100 years of war vs someone who "ran" away from the difficulties of it. But this made Bumi wholly unlikeable and very much NOT BUMI. The animated Bumi acted as someone who could potentially be Aang's earthbending teacher and a "mad genius", someone who prepared Aang for the tough journey ahead and taught him to think outside the box. To me, while people do change and become jaded by war, Bumi was one of the characters that retained his 'madness' and joyfulness/zest for life (that's why he was part of the White Lotus). In the OG ATLA, he changed over a 100 years in terms of the wisdoms he gained and imparted to Aang. In the netflix series, he seemed like just an angry old king, who was jaded and took his anger out on his old friend? He even made the remark of airbenders being "flighty" after Aang said that they all died??? What on EARTH really, King Bumi liked to joke but he would never disrespect Aang or a whole peoples like that. Crazy characterisation choice by NetflixT.T

Anyway I'll stop ranting here and finish the episode (ALSO HOW COULD THEY TAKE AWAY THE AANG X KATARA MOMENT IN THE CAVE?? I'm really starting to understand why the original creators pulled themselves out of the Netflix project)

That scene literally ruined Netflix’s Iroh for me. So right about him not using fire bending. Also his facade as being a “silly old man” to disguise his genius - even with Zuko - makes his character so interesting.

For white people - Cultural appropriation

Every time people come out the racist depths of I don’t give a fuck talking bout its just hair and white people having ‘dreads’ should be accepted it always makes me think, anybody could place a red dot on their forehead, but does that make it a bindi? Does that make it ok? Anybody could drape cloth over their body for aesthetic or what ever but does that make it a hijab, niqab, or burqa? Does that have any traditional meaning at that point if it’s being done for fun? Same with a sari or a kimono. Just because someone thinks the dastar looks cool, should they wear it although it has cultural significance for Sikh people?

My point is, dreadlocks, dread, or locs have cultural significance in the black community and thoughtout the African diaspora. Black hair in general has important cultural impact; that goes for fros, braids, Bantu knots, etc. The same as a hijab, a dastar, a sari, or a kimono. Just because a white person can don a kimono, should they? Why are locs any different?

Fact of the matter is this. Locs have never had cultural significance in white culture. I don’t care which obscure white historical figure you dug up that had matted tomfoolery on their head; it has never meant anything in any white culture. And if there ever was such a time that it did it sure didn’t last too long. There’s no evidence of it (and we all know how well documented white history is) and black people have been treated like shit for having them (and for being black) since white people so demonically introduced themselves to us. Sooooo yea….. and yes, I recognize that there are other POC!!! cultures that openly celebrate matted hair, but guess what. They have their own names for the style and it has its own meaning, it’s not a bastardization of another culture!

Part of me feels like it’s that extreme anti black racism that makes white people feel as though black people can’t tell them anything. Another part of me feels like it’s white people’s inability to understand cultural appropriation as a true issue. Either way I’m not interested in conversing with anyone who feels either of those ways.

It’s very disrespectful to be told that something that has cultural significance is just hair. A bindi is not just a red dot. A sari is not just a pretty dress. A dastar is not just a head wrap. My locs are not just hair

Just want to point out that some of the first documentation of dreadlocks came from the minoan civilisation (which was in Greece), Egyptians also had them (it was probably for fashion knowing them), spartans wore them for battle, some ancient Christians were known to have wore them and Jewish people as there was a rule that said they couldn't cut their hair. This part of the bible also helped create the Rastafari movement. Also some Buddhists do it as part of a way of rejecting vanity.

I'm not pointing out whether "cultural appropriation" is wrong or not, but please don't just suggest that only African-Americans have the right to dreadlocks when all of these people also do.
