Now that Avatar is on Netflix in the US I get to enjoy all these gags again surrounding Toph’s blindness. It honestly impressed me how it was seriously humorous they were able to make these punchlines without it feeling jarring or downright off putting basing humor around someone’s visual disability.

However, they pulled it off so amazingly well. Looking forward to taking a trip down memory lane.

it’s so funny because the fact that Toph is blind isn’t generally the punchline, the punchline usually is that everyone forgets that she is blind

I love action movies and I especially love those that develop characterizations through the action (see Nicky and Joe checking on each other and protecting each other after every death).

After Nile saves them from the lab and they set out Nile leads the way taking the position that is usually Andy’s and the rest follow to keep Andy safe. The problem for anybody who has been fighting in a specific formation for long enough is trained habits. In the very next room, Andy pushes past Booker and Nile to retake her usually position at the front of the team.

In the hallway, the other three men shift back into their usual formation of fighting and Andy is left exposed.

Nile recognizes the problem and puts herself in the way saving Andy.

In the immediate aftermath, Nicky sees what happens and adopts a similar solution, putting his body in the path of a bullet heading towards Andy.

Finally the rest of the team has changed to a new strategy around Nile and Andy. Instead of Nile leading, she stays close to Andy to be a shield. Nicky is holding up the rear for the same purpose.

Despite everyone’s best intentions they’ve been fighting a certain for hundreds if not thousands of years. Nile is younger but she reacts to a problem in their strategy and fixes it. Even more, the others immediately follow her lead and replicate her tactic.

Ppl without ADHD be like “oh if I get rid of all possible distractions then you’ll be forced to focus on the boring task!” Fool… You underestimate my Power

My partner: dear it’s time to get up

Me: but distractions

Partner: I have removed them

Me: sleeps

[immarainbowpatooie]

Person: we have removed all possible distractions

Me: but have you considered this?

Me: *zones out and daydreams*

[quinintheclouds]

Person: I have removed all distractions so you can do [insert task]

Me: *chuckles* Silly neurotypical. So naïve… Don’t you see? I AM the distraction.

The distraction is coming from inside the house

it never ceases to amaze me how ppl get life handed to them wrapped up in a pretty pink bow, and then convince themselves that they paid for it with sweat and blood

There are so many unintended consequences to well-intentioned actions. It feels like a game you can’t win.

The Good Place really went with making their new Point ‘there is no ethical consumption under capitalism’ and I respect that
