my controversial opinion is I don’t think Zuko was confused by “my first girlfriend turned into the moon”
he was there during siege of the North. he infiltrated the spirit oasis. he has an uncle who studies spirits and the spirit world. he watched the sky go dark then the moon suddenly reappear like everyone else in the entire world did. and most importantly he watched zhao get eaten by a giant godzilla fish spirit.
his entire life since he saw that beam of blue-white light in the south pole has been ‘this day has already been so goddamn weird’
The only really new information was that that was Sokka’s girlfriend
Important opinion in the tags that I need to have be part of the post:
Also, Iroh was there? He literally watched Sokka make out with the moon spirit. And you want to tell me that a romantic sap like him would not have immediately told Zuko about this romantic tragedy? Please, Zuko has known about this for ages, he just knows that this is not an acceptable situation in which to say “yeah, I know.”
Sokka: “My girlfriend turned into the moon.”
Zuko: “I know.” “Yes.” “She sure did.” “Uh huh.” “Tell me something new.” “Are we still talking about that?” “That’s rough, buddy.”
[image: tags by samwisethebold: #it’s not that he doesn’t get what sokka means #it’s that how on earth do you respond to that]
When you put it like that, this is actually a legendary display of tact on Zuko’s part
#myilya has always been chronically online and easily enamored by a good internet challenge, especially in the early 2010s. He personally participated in many with the Raiders, including but not limited to:
Planking. Everywhere
Making a music video to “Like A Boss” by The Lonely Island in the Raider’s training facility
ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, multiple times, always shirtless. Some of his notable nominations include a Raider’s assistant coach, Gritty, Shane Hollander, and then-sitting Vice President Joe Biden
The cinnamon challenge (fucked up his breathing for days but refused to acknowledge any discomfort bc Russians Do Not Do This)
Ghost pepper challenge (he ended up crying, made Connors delete the video, and threatened all present to secrecy)
Chubby Bunny challenge (Marly won and posted the video himself)
Gallon of milk challenge (Marly threw up and it was decided the video was too gross to post)
Ghost pepper challenge, again (went the same as the first attempt)
Harlem Shake in the Raiders locker room, obviously
Mannequin challenge during a Raiders practice, also obviously
Meanwhile the only internet trend #myshane has ever willingly participated in was the Ice Bucket Challenge when Ilya nominated him bc it was for charity and Yuna said it would be good for his image
My hot take is that someone else actually nominated Shane for the ice bucket challenge; SHANE nominated Ilya.
man sometimes friendship really is just "I saw this and knew it would give you psychic damage. please respond with agony" and then they do. and it's great

Getting #BlackRock to change/exit the real estate market in NYC is a massive win for New Yorkers and #ZohranMamdani.

the fact that the atla movie never even got a proper trailer, not even a lick of a teaser trailer, is so unreal.
oh cool it got a trailer 18 days before it starts streaming. the atla movie. the movie about atla, the show that’s deemed to be one of the greatest cartoons that’s beloved by many and inspired many more, a 2D animated feature that was supposed to get a theatrical release. yeah that one.
everyone thank paramount for being so generous and caring about this franchise and the audience. unfortunately they ran out of crumbs so we get belly button lint instead.
Have you ever wondered how tech technicians recover data from faulty flash and memory whose data cannot be recovered by normal methods.
this is necromancy
This, right here?
THIS is a magic circle and NOTHING you can tell me will convince me otherwise.

time to make a post on tumblr. surely no one will interpret it to be as offensive and bad intentioned as possible.

Actually when I say “fuck all billionaires” I particularly mean Taylor “having my wedding in the middle of the busiest city in the world on the busiest weekend in the world in the part of the city the majority of commuters need to get through because fuck working people” Swift
fuck you if you like this dumb nepo baby white supremacist.
The reason why McConnell is currently ambiguously dead is because KY law was recently amended to state that a vacant senate seat must be filled by a special election, but previously, the duty to fill a vacant senate seat was by appointment of the current governor. The present KY gov is a Democrat, and has the means to challenge the special elections rule in the state supreme court, under the argument that it is unconstitutional to governor's power as outlined in the KY state constitution. So given the risk of a Dem appointee who would become an incumbent to challenge, or a special election race in the middle of the Mamdani Endorsement DemSoc run on congressional seats, McConnell will remain in quantum superposition between life and death until there is no longer a risk of his republican power being challenged.
Which... you know, really is life in the American Fascist Era in a nutshell: a questionably dead or dying racist lich refusing to reliquinsh the ability to make all our lives miserable
Did you know that you can roll a condom onto someone using your mouth? Shane sure didn't until he slept with Rose. And you best believe that Ilya is absolutely torn between finding it mind-meltingly hot and being fucking furious the first time Shane pulls that shit out in bed with him because he has a pretty damn good guess where he picked that move up.
Safety first: While this is logistically possible, it is also very unsafe because it's extremely easy for your teeth to tear (or even just scrape / weaken) the condom. Do not do this except with someone whose fluids you are already cool with risking in your body, and in that part of the body the appendage is going in. Fun second: Rose might have taught Shane the move of rolling on the condom on with his mouth, but where did he get the move of pulling it back off and sucking the cum out?
From one Animorphs fan to another, is there a series comparable to Animorphs that you could recommend?
TBH, I don't know of any that are super similar. Animorphs is such a product of its time and its author(s) that even series that directly competed (Goosebumps, Dinotopia) look nothing like it. However.
Series that do cool things with first-person narration like Animorphs:
Queen's Thief by Megan Whalen Turner. Set in a fictional version of ancient Greece/Turkey, the series follows one protagonist (primarily a thief, but hobnobs with queens) through a handful of different narrators who see him as a hero, a villain, a loser, a genius, a traitor, a savior... And they're all kind of right.
Pendragon by D.J. MacHale. The world's most relatable teenager narrates adventures across the multiverse. It's notable for its overt grappling with questions of ethics during war — at one point the narrator has to decide whether to kill 30 innocent people to keep nuclear weapons out of Nazi hands.
Otherbound by Corinne Duyvis. Truly a book about "we live in a society," only the twist is that the two different protagonists live in two different universes with two different definitions of "disability"... and then they develop a psychic connection.
Children's books that will ruin your life (/pos) like Animorphs:
The Nest by Kenneth Oppel. A heartbreaking and horrifying story about loss, fear, being disbelieved by adults, being overshadowed by a new baby, and the dawning realization that grown-ups can't fix any of the things that are most fundamentally wrong with the world.
Lewis Barnavelt by John Bellairs. The series that shows that children's horror does not have to be cozy, when it could instead be paranoid and atmospheric and disturbing.
Feed by M.T. Anderson. This book came out in 2002 but could have been written last year, all about how advertising is eating the lives of contemporary teens.
Books with many of the plots/structures that make Animorphs good:
Tomorrow, When the War Began by John Marsden. Thank you @zarohk for recommending this series — it really is the closest to Animorphs I've ever found. A group of teens is camping in the Outback when the alien invasion takes their town, leaving them to decide how much violence they're willing to do in order to try and free their parents.
Endling by Katherine Applegate. Do I cheat by including this? Very well, then I cheat. An unapologetically disturbing premise (an "endling" is the last animal in an otherwise extinct species) gets softened over time by the power of friendship and screwball comedy, without losing sight of the horror.
Die by Kieron Gillen, or The Power Fantasy (Gillen), or The Nice House by the Lake by James Tynon IV. All are comics, not novels, so I'm grouping them at the end. But all have the common thread of "queer found family gradually turns toxic while dealing with dark magical adventures," and all remind me of Animorphs' uplifting yet disturbing codependency between the protagonists.
If other people have recs, please weigh in!
I just came across this post and it reminded me how I first found out about Tomorrow, When the War Began. It was an accident, as I was looking for books by William Moulton Marston (psychologist who invented the lie detector and the character of Wonder Woman, along with his wife & their mutual partner), audiobooks books narrated by James Marsters (actor who played Spike on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, also does good audiobooks), and accidentally found actor James Marsden. Then I got from him to author John Marsden.
Very glad I'm so mediocre at remembering actor names!
That's amazing. Reminds me of how I stumbled on T. Kingfisher while looking for Stephen King.
