My sister fixed the audio sync on the video and now here’s Lady Gaga taking my flowers but this time our mouths match the audio 😭

#the screen is like a second or two delayed in person #pulling the video from TikTok make the sync issue worse #but my sister unprompted fixed it 🥲#I was gonna try to do it when I had time later but she just did it and sent it to me #lady gaga

IM GOING ON A TRIP THIS WEEKEND AND IM PACKING THE KYOSHI BOOK EVERYONE LEAVE ME ALONE

#(absolutely no one has bothered me)#I’m not saying I’ll start a reread but I’m allowing for the possibility

I love the canonical Kyoshi x Rangi height difference pictures because it makes Rangi look SO short when she’s actually like 5’9 and pretty tall and would probably in any other circumstance be the tall one. she just found the only girlfriend that’s almsot a whole foot taller than her

#rangshi #rangi #Kyoshi

Ten thousand years later I’m still talking about how the Azula vs Mai moment was way crazier than anyone gives them credit for because Azula was preparing lightning. You can clearly see Azula prepping it and there was time to react to it. And Mai didn’t try to run or stop her, she looked at Azula and got a knife ready to throw. She didn’t react immediately to stop Azula, she waited.

Mai was waiting for the exact moment to throw her knife so that she’d know it would hit and that was also probably going to be the exact moment that Azula hit her with lightning. Mai was choosing to stand there and take the hit so that she could take Azula down with her. They were both going to die there and Ty Lee fr saved them both by stopping Azula from being able to bend.

#like I do think Ty Lee still was picking a side #even if it’s only because she knew that once she did that there would be no way to handle Azula #who was already slipping at this point #but I also think that a large point in why Ty Lee picked the side is because she knew if she didn’t she was about to watch both of them die #betraying Azula saved Mai and betraying Azula saved Azula #so the answer was betray Azula #Azula #Mai #Ty Lee #atla

Rangi and Kyoshi are both two idiots nodding at each other and going “Exaaactly” but they’re talking about different things

#I watched the Avatar movie and immediately get back to Kyoshi posting #and Kyoshi wasn’t even in the movie #dangerously close to reading the books again #Kyoshi #Rangi #rangshi

I love Rangi so much she is so lawful good that she joined a criminal gang because she was honor bound to serve the Avatar, who decided to join a gang

#also that one time she got mad at Kyoshi and was gonna break up and was like ‘I never want to see you again’#and then showed up a page letter to throw noodles at her and yell at her for not eating #(she is honor bound to make sure the Avatar is eating)#she’s like peak lawful good writing #because it makes her clearly very stupid #but in ways that are compelling and nonsensical instead of just annoying and preachy #rangi #avatar kyoshi #Kyoshi #atla #avatar

and of all the crashouts going on in Hadestown, I find Persephone's the most compelling because her crashout is like an active choice, but also weirdly selfless. Like, she's single-handedly trying to stop climate change (she doesn't know Orpheus is doing his whole song thing) and is very Stressed about that and the fact that she's not getting enough time for the seasons to come as they're supposed to. and like sure, seasons are her thing. but she's also decided that while doing this, its also her job to maintain the vibes both on earth and in Hadestown. And the vibes are down in the first place because of the weather thing/Hades over industrializing Hadestown to try to make Persephone more comfortable there. so instead of solving problem A (the weather) to solve problem B (the vibes), she's "I know how to fix the mood! everyone needs to drink with me!"

#she IS the cool alcoholic parent that will party with you not matter if you want to or if she is too fucking exhausted to be doing all that #hadestown #persephone

jokes about Jean Grey outing every queer person she meets via telepathy actually don’t ever get old and I do laugh at them every time

moghedien

Now I wonder if people don’t realize that “Jean Grey uses telepathy to out a closeted gay teammate” was a real actual plot line in comics like…a decade ago?

#poor Bobby lmaooo #I just realized it’s been long enough that people probably don’t know that was an actual thing that happened and not a joke

I haven’t actually stopped thinking about that weird ass move during Our Lady of the Underground and if you’ve seen it then you know which one I mean

The entirety Hadestown Act 1: happens

Persephone’s genuine reaction:

#and she just threw herself like this twice 😭#persephone #hadestown

I haven’t actually stopped thinking about that weird ass move during Our Lady of the Underground and if you’ve seen it then you know which one I mean

#hadestown #persephone

Hadestown is good because it’s about everyone in the show having distinctly different crashouts

#they’re all crashing out but in different unique ways #hadestown

and I do maintain that seeing Hadestown in New Orleans is the ideal in terms of crowd because of the locals reaction to Way Down Hadestown alone

like I’m sorry if you’re a stickler for theater etiquette, but when Hermes opened that umbrella people were on their feet

#there was hootin and there was hollerin #I’m talking about the actual tour not the film btw #tho I did watch that in New Orleans to lol #I remember when I watched a bootleg of it for the first time #and realized Way Down Hadestown was a Second Line for Persephone #and I was hooting and hollering alone in my bedroom #hadestown

What’s funny is that there’s actually TWO films currently in theaters that are based on Greek mythology, have a diverse cast, historically inaccurate costumes and sets, black actors playing gods, and a trans actor in a prominent role

#they’re only getting mad at one tho 🤔#the odyssey #hadestown

Going see Hadestown again I’ll let yall know if it turns out different this time

Bad news everyone

spoiled last night you say?

One of the actors on the red carpet was asked what his favorite thing about the movie was and he said “Jean”

I don’t know who the guy was or his role or anything about him so idk about it all but it seems like such a weird point to slip up after months of speculation so I’m not convinced it wasn’t just trolling

Going see Hadestown again I’ll let yall know if it turns out different this time

at this point like very very few things could get me to care about an MCU movie. I haven’t watched anything since….im not even sure. Maybe since the Ms Marvel show? Maybe something shortly after that idk. I don’t remember

the X-Men being in Doomsday does not make me excited. I love the X-Men so much but I loathe everything about those original X-Men movies and I don’t want to see anything associated with them ever again.

If they use this current arc to do a full reboot and start the X-Men movies over from scratch….well then…MAYBE I’ll consider. They have to give Rogue and Kurt two moms tho

moghedien

All this being said, as soon as one of yall see the new spider man movie I need you to personally message me and tell me who Sadie Sink is playing fr fr

#I know it was ‘spoiled’ last night but I’m not convinced that was legit #like why a delusional part of me is like ‘What if she’s Rachel 👀’
