I know we all know that toph loves to cuss, but I just realized

She had an extremely sheltered upbringing, then when she snuck out to fight, she went to the Earth Kingdom version of WWE, which, if it’s like real world WWE, is family entertainment, and she never spent time backstage, she came she fought she left

I don’t think Toph knows any swear words

[lostfan10000]

She learns to swear from team avatar and becomes all powerful.

[because-im-freaking-greed]

I don’t think Sokka or Katara would know swears either; they grew up in a village consisting of them, Gram Gram, and a bunch of little kids and their moms

I don’t know if the airbenders taught aang swears or not but I know he’s not really the type to swear anyway

Zuko, on the other hand, spent about 3 years of his life as a young angry teenager surrounded by sailors

Zuko and Suki teach the Gaang to cuss— the Avatar spinoff.

Fanfiction is cool because you get to learn what other people's parents taught them the hymen is like

I know that I had somewhat unusually comprehensive sex ed but it still surprises me every time I'm reminded that some people genuinely think that losing your virginity is a capri sun kind of situation.

[drpepperwhoree]

remember that pride is still a protest

Ad agency: Please don't steal the King's potatoes, no matter how easy it is.

Regular people: Wait, the King has easily stolen potatoes? How do I get in on this?

Internet users who have been stealing potatoes for years: We made a machine that picks so many potatoes and also that machine is free. Enjoy!

Ad agency: you wouldn't steal a movie?

Fun fact! Both the music and the font in that ad were incorrectly sourced and did not provide compensation to the creators

Controversial opinion (?): I think adaptations of period novels and historical events can absolutely benefit from being made more accessible to a modern audience at times. However, less by making the characters sound more modern or express modern social views and more by doubling down and actually explaining to the audience the social context behind certain events and decisions.

Because it's all good and well to praise Edward Ferrars for sticking by Lucy Steele a million times, but if you don't explain why it would be such a dick move for him to break up with her everyone is going to continue thinking that he should follow his heart or that he's actually being cruel to Lucy by pretending to love her. Both of which would be absolutely true today but which are not very important considerations in their case.

Honestly, this is the one thing I really appreciate about P&P 2005. Charlotte explaining to Elizabeth exactly why she's accepting Collins was really good for someone who isn't familiar with the time period.

Sure it's anachronistic because the characters would know already, but it's better than the alternative which is leaving people confused by the character's motives.

[agape-emo-eros]

This!

Historical fiction should take a page from sci-fi/fantasy playbook and explain the worldbuilding (yes even though the construction process is different since you take what already existed the reading process will be basically the same).

[wutheringheightsfilm]

every day it just concerns me how little compassion people have. no compassion for those living in the global south. no compassion for immigrants. no compassion for disabled ppl. no compassion for addicts. no compassion for prisoners. no compassion for children. like holy shit ...

[wutheringheightsfilm]

[writing-is-a-martial-art]

truly some people have no genre savviness whatsoever. A girl came back from the dead the other day and fresh out of the grave she laughed and laughed and lay down on the grass nearby to watch the sky, dirt still under her nails. I asked her if she’s sad about anything and she asked me why she should be. I asked her if she’s perhaps worried she’s a shadow of who she used to be and she said that if she is a shadow she is a joyous one, and anyway whoever she was she is her, now, and that’s enough. I inquired about revenge, about unfinished business, about what had filled her with the incessant need to claw her way out from beneath but she just said she’s here to live. I told her about ghosts, about zombies, tried to explain to her how her options lie between horror and tragedy but she just said if those are the stories meant for her then she’ll make another one. I said “isn’t it terribly lonely how in your triumph over death nobody was here to greet you?” and she just looked at me funny and said “what do you mean? The whole world was here, waiting”. Some people, I tell you.

You know what? Fuck it I'm adding more context. Sesame Street has talked about the topic of death more than once and it's done with such gentle carefulness without watering down or censoring the heaviness of the situations. It treats heavy subject matter with respect and dignity and has been for DECADES. From the early 1980s:

To 2025:

Hell, they even cover the devastating heaviness of MASS SHOOTINGS without censoring or watering anything down.

They've been doing this for YEARS, and it's ALWAYS handled with dignity, respect, seriousness, understanding, and love.

Whenever I see people censoring words because it "might offend" someone or the big ad companies that are currently trying to run everything? I just want to say to them: "What? Is Sesame Street too mature for you?" Because really...what the hell are we doing.
