How I Would Write an AVATAR Cartoon

For the past year and a half I've been working on a video in which I share how I would design and structure a hypothetical sequel to The Legend of Korra and Avatar: The Last Airbender. I pushed myself farther than I had ever gone before on this project, going as far as making over 100 original hand-drawn semi-professional quality storyboards with motion graphic editing. I'm not just sharing a few silly Avatar OCs, I'm also pitching you my original concept for a cartoon series called AVATAR: The Journey of Lee.

Hello 👋,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Aziz, and I’m reaching out with a heartfelt plea to help my family find safety and reunite with our mother. 😞

The ongoing war in Gaza has torn my family apart. My mother and newborn sister are stranded in Egypt, while I, along with the rest of my sex family members, am trapped in the midst of the genocide in Gaza. We have not only been separated but have also lost our home and are enduring unimaginable hardships. 💔

Your support can make a difference. Whether by reading our story, donating, or sharing our campaign with others, you can help us reunite, find safety, and start anew. 🙏🕊

Thank you, from the depths of my heart, for your kindness, compassion, and solidarity during this difficult time. ❤🍉

HOW THE FUCK DOES THAT EVEN HAPPEN

[robotclownindulgence]

I'm feeling kinda mean atm so i'm just gonna say it

This kind of boring-ass squeaky-clean "safe" artstyle is the worst trend in western animation of the last decade and the sooner it dies out the better

[robotclownindulgence]

yeah that's pretty much it

[phantomrose96]

People make a lot of good "thank god I'm not a kid anymore" posts about like school bullies or homework or puberty. But actually my #1 top of the "thank god I'm not a kid anymore" list is the fact that I can leave the event when I want to.

Any event I'm at! I can say "okay well I'm tired I'm going home goodbye." Could not do that shit as a kid. If you're a kid it's like yeah you will sit here at your brother's soccer game in the cold for the next 1.5 hours. You will sit here at your sibling's football practice. You will stay at this BBQ until the whole family is done with the BBQ. You are stuck at the mall until mom finds the pants she needs. You are stuck at the grocery store. No we don't know how long. You are stuck at band practice. It's running late but you're not allowed to leave. You are stuck at the party that the adults said you're leaving soon but they keep talking to these 2 people who showed up late. What the Fuck.

And that shit is on top of having homework.

Does anyone have the fucking post where it's a screenshot of someone googling john wick scenes but it's like "his focking name is beb yegah - jam wick scene" I feel like I'm being gaslit by tumblr search

one of the aqua teen dvds had a "Play all" button which, if youre too young to remember dvds, would typically play every episode in order, but here it played them all at the same time. having that dvd changed me as a child

[gunsandfireandshit]

The best part of it is the Easter egg revealed by the "play all" option, every episode in the season has one of their signature explosion animations play at the exact same timestamp so for a second the entire screen is obscured by fireballs

if i can impart any one piece of wisdom to y’all, it’s to, whenever possible, assume good intentions

assume people are trying their best, want to be good and treat others well, and that when their behavior doesn’t align with those goals, it’s because of outside factors that are pushing them to their limit

it’s hard to do, it doesn’t always come naturally, but it’s worth it

[storybookprincess]

before anyone jumps in with an “op has clearly never worked in the service industry,” i work in a public facing library job

i have a patron who is mean as a snake. won’t respond when you greet her, barks orders at you, and is generally nasty

i couldn’t stand her & dreaded the moment she walked in the door, until i stopped one day & went “wow, to walk around feeling unhappy enough to treat people so horribly every day. what a difficult way to live.”

and so my tactics changed. i made a point to be extra kind & friendly to her. she changed her hair color one day & when i complimented her on it, she was very caught off guard & said “oh, thank you. my whole life i’ve thought i was ugly.”

now we’re at the point where she shows me pictures of watercolor paintings she made & says hi when she walks in the door. she’s not my favorite patron, but she’s perfectly okay. most unpleasant people aren’t inherently rotten, they’re just unhappy & coping with it poorly

assume people are always doing their best, even if their best happens to fall a bit short. assume good intentions

You cannot just leave this gem in the tags

[noesa]

i think the thing that is specifically bothering me about the conversation about the new hbomberguy video ("live your life in a way so that hbomberguy doesn't tear into you for 3 hours", "hbomberguy has figured out how to death note someone through video essays", "oh new hbomberguy video [incredibly dense paragraphs of text] i now despise james somerton") is that it really feels like people aren't paying attention to what hbomberguy was actually saying. like, as much as he wanted to make people aware of the plagiarism issue, he also very explicitly did not like the fact that he might even remotely have a financial incentive to make those sorts of videos. and rather than the last video, which was a "get mad about this" call to action, hbomberguy spent this whole video sympathizing with the people who were directly out indirectly affected, and wanted the focus of people's attention to be on uplifting small queer creators

but also, negativity drives engagement so i guess it's to be expected.

[dinkypoo]

completely agree. I think much like the tellarico situation it wasnt that hbomberguy called him out because of malice or power , or to flex that he could ruin someones career- which is the tone people are taking to those videos. Harris Bomberguy could not waltz in and ruin anyones career , at any time. Harris bomberguy keeps running into cases where small creators are being taken advantage of - REALLY obviously- by people who draw more attention. And the point is to give credit where it was due and call attention to THE laziest lying u could ever conceive of. the entertainment is in applying sherlock-levels of effort and anaylsis to people who regularly leave smoking guns lying around. and the education is knowing who joey Kuras is ! and checking out Matt Baume and the playlist of queer creators in the description who are getting buried under james's stuff.
