Like how it always feels tbh. Correct.

Aang is now taller than Katara with a deep voice and broad shoulders and all of a sudden EVERYONE is a KatAang shipper? FUCK YALL

Is this still traditional Chinese?

Asking as someone who doesn’t know anything about chinese languages, written or spoken. All I know is that in the OG show everything was written in Hanzi, but this writing looks a little different to my untrained eye, especially since it kind of looks like it’s going from left to right in horizontal rows. Does anyone know?

People shipping based on whether they find someone hot or not is wild to me because what do you mean only NOW are some fans actually liking kataang because they think aang is hot.

You didn't see the appeal when he helped her reclaim her childlike whimsy? Not when he flew into a grief stricken rage and she helped him find peace? Not when they awkwardly tried to figure out their feelings in the cave of two lovers? When aang nearly died and katara used the spirit water to bring him back and hugged him tight? When we see the childish jealousy and them throwing a party for the firebending children where they got to be free and dance?

It took a character being hot to you for you to actually see any potential in romance?

Kataang has always been a very cute romance between two kids working through their trauma and finding hope in what seems hopeless. It's endearing.

I think it's tragic that aesthetics often sway opinions.

if you didn’t love kataang when they were two young traumatized genocide survivors learning how to navigate their grief by creating childhood together in the midst of a war that relentlessly tried to steal it from them you don’t deserve them now that they’re hot

Remember when Ursula K. Le Guin called JK Rowling a nasty basic bitch back in like, 2004? We should have listened

“This last is the situation, as I see it, between my A Wizard of Earthsea and J.K.Rowling’s Harry Potter. I didn’t originate the idea of a school for wizards — if anybody did it was T.H.White, though he did it in single throwaway line and didn’t develop it. I was the first to do that. Years later, Rowling took the idea and developed it along other lines. She didn’t plagiarize. She didn’t copy anything. Her book, in fact, could hardly be more different from mine, in style, spirit, everything. The only thing that rankles me is her apparent reluctance to admit that she ever learned anything from other writers. When ignorant critics praised her wonderful originality in inventing the idea of a wizards’ school, and some of them even seemed to believe that she had invented fantasy, she let them do so. This, I think, was ungenerous, and in the long run unwise.“

i found the specific quote i was thinking of x

Q: Nicholas Lezard has written ‘Rowling can type, but Le Guin can write.’ What do you make of this comment in the light of the phenomenal success of the Potter books? I’d like to hear your opinion of JK Rowling’s writing style

UKL: I have no great opinion of it. When so many adult critics were carrying on about the “incredible originality” of the first Harry Potter book, I read it to find out what the fuss was about, and remained somewhat puzzled; it seemed a lively kid’s fantasy crossed with a “school novel”, good fare for its age group, but stylistically ordinary, imaginatively derivative, and ethically rather mean-spirited.

damn gurl :’]

The very best thing about The Phantom of the Opera is that it shows us a possibly supernatural occurrence, then gives us a natural explanation that is infinitely crazier than the supernatural one would have been.

What if there was a ghost in the opera house that was killing people?

Requires you to accept the existence of ghosts, but otherwise is a straightforward story.

What if the chief contractor who built the opera house was a deformed circus freak who used his experience building palaces and torture chambers for sultans to keep building secret passageways and torture chambers in the basement when construction halted during the Franco-Prussian War, and then kept living down there working on an opera and killing and blackmailing people who crossed him and also training a pretty opera singer that he wants to marry?

There is nothing in the world that could have prepared me to expect even half of that.

I see a lot of nobles out here who think "Well I have a 10,000 square foot castle, surely that's enough space for a knight." WRONG. Knights are WORKING BREEDS, they need to go on regular quests to prove their fealty and come home horribly wounded. I have seen SO MANY adopted knights DESPONDENT because their liege keeps them cooped up in a castle and won't let them go on quests. If you want an armored warrior who will be happy in your castle you need to get a castellan. They're closely related to the knight breed but adapted to the castle environment.

Cooping them up too long is actually how you end up with 60 to 70 thousand dead geese when they finally get out again.

“Can you explain this gap in your employment?” I must confess I dilly-dallied. Did a bit of this and that. Yes, I lived an ungoverned life of leisure throughout my youth. But I’m a changed man, I’m to be married and my prospective mother-in-law insists I have an annual income of £500,000 or more if I’m to wed her daughter. Rummy luck. My paltry stipend from my father is a mere £40,000 a month. I am attempting to make up the difference by seeking gainful employment for the first time in my life. This sunglass shack is the only establishment that graced me with a callback.

trying to get a job in corporate America is so humiliating. it's like being a pick me but for capitalism instead of men. hee hee please criticize my resume and portfolio hahah I can feel the personal growth already. criticize me harder.!! XD tell me what to do so that I can eat and have a house over my head! omg stop don't look at those workers look at me I'm special hire me. no I don't have my own personality. yes i love multi-channel marketing

#i might as well pop an edible and whip out my vibrator if I'm going to keep getting fucked this hard
