Lady Possum

Hi. I don't know why you're here, but I love you.

hey, tag this with a food people get really upset about you not liking

[adventures-in-zookeeping-deacti]

Remember when Disney treated emotional trauma as an actual physical ailment and not the stupid “just stop being upset” thing?

Big Hero 6 was a great movie

[smolanxiouscatvoid]

It really was a great movie. One of the best.

[silver--storms]

I’ve never met anyone who likes their birthstone. Reblog + put in the tags what yours is, if you like it and what birthstone you’d rather have.

[victorys]

i’m very curious about this since theaters have been closed most of the year so, reblog and put in the tags the last movie you watched in a cinema this year.

[blueymoons]

Not gonna specifically tag anyone...but reblog if you feel like it and put yours in the tags.

So this was in the Boston globe, and if I hadn’t read it myself I would have thought it was an Onion article. The lady wants walls again because now when she is working in the kitchen, her husband is in full view sitting watching TV and doing nothing. When they had walls, she was basically less aware of how ignored she was while being a hard-working woman and housewife. They don’t need walls, they need a marriage counselor.

[feenyxblue]

Okay, but also: the walls are there for a reason.

In particular, the kitchen walls are there so that you can leave the kitchen messy when entertaining guests or having a meal (to the point that some open floor concept homes have a second, secret kitchen called a mess kitchen). The walls of the kitchen confine smells to the kitchen area, so your sofa doesn’t smell of bacon. Mess spreads from room to room.

Noise too, travels in an open floor concept. You’re confined to a bedroom or outside to make phone calls, listen to podcasts, etc. etc. without disturbing the rest of the household. The minute someone needs to cook? The entire house becomes unusable.

Open floor concepts have higher heating (cuz drafty) and cooling (kitchen) costs. They also require ALL of your decor to match if that’s a thing that’s important to you.

The noise and mess spreading in particular seem to me they could exacerbate marital problems. Do they need counseling? Oh yeah. Does the house make for a less hospitable home, that puts stress on a marriage? Yes.

my GOD does sound carry in an open floor plan.

The only doors in my house are the ones to bedrooms, bathrooms, closets. And when I’m in my first floor bedroom, even with the door closed, I can hear everything that goes on in the living room and kitchen, and half of what goes on in the dining room. I hate it.

[unpretty]

the absolute funniest revelation in this article is that open floor plans took off because of home renovation shows, and the reason every home renovation show did an open floor plan is because they thought smashing walls down with sledgehammers would appeal to male viewers. that’s it. that’s the only reason.

[lady-possum]

However, open floor plan is an important accessibility design for deaf people (see DeafSpace). Open spaces, openings in walls, and glass panels/transparent walls help us see other people and be aware of where everyone is. We can be in the kitchen cooking and talking to another person in the living room or getting their attention without leaving the stove. We can keep an eye on our children playing in the living room or sitting in the dining room. Without the openness, we are disconnected from others and have to leave a room every time to talk to someone or to get their attention. Hearing people — y’all have it easy. You just shout. We don’t have that luxury. So you can have walls, but for me? I’ll knock down some walls or cut openings in the walls to make my house more accessible for me, flaws listed above be damned.

all of my modern avatar university au!

bonus yue:

she’s sokka's ex. everyone thinks she’s dead cause when asking sokka what happened to her he says “she has gone to a better place” which is true because she went to study abroad in a really good university, and as no one had the guts to ask him how she “died” they assumed she was really gone.

Avatar: the last Airbender art dump ✨

[laurawingfields]

i made this for a powerpoint party but the rest of the world needs to see it

[jhoca]

I want to remind everyone that at some point bffs zuko and sokka were both ruling countries in their mid-20s and they probably had to go to a lot of important international meetings…but all they do is whisper dumb jokes to each other

honestly? the definition of a power couple (also on twitter / instagram)

[vendimeyers]

People just starting to watch A:TLA for the first time: The bending is really cool, but couldn't the waterbenders technically just bend the water inside of people? Like their blood? I'm pretty sure technically they could. Well I guess it's a kids show so they probably won't go into it haha.

People who have seen the show already and know what happens:

a man of his word.

[thanakite]

I wonder if Ozai heard that the Avatar was back and was just like, Shit! Now there’s potential for my son to complete that impossible task I assigned him

[professorsparklepants]

Zuko literally is that idiot in a fairy tale who doesn’t realize the task he’s been handed is supposed to be impossible, so he just goes out and fucking does it.

[deliciouskookaburrabouquet]

Saving this for later

[deliciouskookaburrabouquet]

Okay, I’m back.

I love this, but I have to add… Zuko is not that idiot in a fairytale who doesn’t realise capturing the Avatar is supposed to be impossible.

The second Ozai gives the order and the banishment is official, everyone knows. Nobody has seen the Avatar in a hundred years. Either he’s dead, or he’s an old master that a fourteen year old punk could never hope to beat.

Iroh knows. That’s why he keeps trying to distract Zuko with his little diversions. The crew knows. And they are wondering who exactly they pissed off to get this assignment?

And Zuko knows. Of course he knows. How could he not? But he doesn’t let himself believe it. He lies to himself. Every day. He convinces himself that the Avatar is out there and that one day, if Zuko just tries hard enough, he’ll find him. And he’ll bring him to his father.

Because if it really is impossible? Then that means that Zuko’s father never loved him. Then that means that Zuko can never go home. Then that means that maybe Azula was right and Ozai really was going to kill him the night that his grandfather died and his mother disappeared.

And it is so much easier to believe in the impossible than it is to believe that your father is a monster.

[korrasera]

Not only is this perfect, but it’s almost explicitly validated by the canon. Zuko’s redemption arc has a lot to do with him recognizing that his father was a monster who never had any honor in the first place, while Zuko himself is blessed with an abundance of it.

[slumberblues]

When you’ve been abused by a parent like that dealing with anything afterwords is terrifying.

I can only imagine the emotions Zuko was feeling when he apologised to Iroh there. 

[mangaluva-deactivated20220930]

^This is one of the reasons that I think going in to apologize to Iroh is one of the bravest things that Zuko’s ever done, because of how much it must have terrified him to do so (Iroh would never hurt Zuko like that, but that fear had to have been at the top of Zuko’s mind at this moment)

And why I love Iroh so, so much for being who he is.
