Wow those moves look like someone who’s childhood best friend was an airbender

[avatarsymbolism]

…Shit, you’re right. 

That spin he does. That is an airbendery move. 

[onebunpunshow-deactivated202212]

Literally the exact same move Aang pulls when he gets off his glider (cant find a gif but like… I promise)

[dr-algernop-deactivated20220313]

This shows attention to detail was unreal.

[dragongyrlwren]

Even the fall backwards! That looks like the exact kind of thing a fun loving Airbender kid would do while showing off gliders and airbending proficiency.

[agent-of-empathy-deactivated202]

the best benders in this show tend to be the ones who adapt elements of other bending techniques. Bumi has some airbender-y movements, Zuko and Iroh use some Air and Water movements, even Katara tends to use some earthbender looking moves when bending ice

[supreme-leader-stoat]

Meanwhile Toph just took earthbending and cranked it all the way up to 11.

[yourladyindank]

Everyone else: The spice of variety! The four elements make mine stronger! Ballerina time!

Toph:….meTal….bendy bendy

[that-catholic-shinobi]

take into account that Toph might not be able to take other bending styles into her own. Because those styles (especially fire and air) require you to lift your feet off the ground and for Toph she would lose her way of connecting to the world like he’s used too.

Toph took earthbending, made it her bitch, and made it adapt to her needs as a disabled person.

[animationsource]

Zutara + being the textbook definition of development. ♡

[avatarsymbolism]

Sorry Aang, Zuko’s was cooler. Granted, that’s mostly because Zuko does things ten times more dramatically than everyone else. 

Katara should really be more careful though.

[blue-corvid]

This is so interesting to me. Zuko grabs Katara (rather than shoving her) as he runs past, goes into a roll (he lands first, absorbing the shock,) and finishes the roll shielding her from the debris without landing on top of her. The whole action is designed specifically to protect her (and to a lesser degree, himself) from as much damage as possible – from any source, including his own body.

Aang on the other hand, just frickin’ tackles her.

The difference between a battle-hardened veteran with years of combat training… and a regular (if agile) dude who really just wants to save her from death by boulder by any means necessary.

It’s some really brilliant, subtle acting. We already know that the animators on this show are amazing, but this is a really good example of why. Not just the flawless rendering of what the characters are doing, but the careful consideration of how they do it.

Without a doubt, though, the best part of this post was this masterpiece of a tag: #katara vs. rocks

[avatarsymbolism]

#atla#I wonder how much this has to do with aang being an airbender too#like he literally just kind of throws himself at things a lot because like#he can fly#and generally use airbending to cushion impacts#whereas firebending by necessity probably involves a lot of ‘stop drop and roll’ technique#especially when involving a kid like zuko

Oh, that makes sense as well (And stopping, dropping, and roolling is what what we;re supposed to do if we’re caught on fire, so it makes sense that a firebender would know know this.

Please for the love of fuck just vote for the sake of the supreme court.

[biglawbear]

Ruth Bader Ginsburg is 87 years old and has had cancer 4 times, twice in the last year

Another liberal, Breyer, is 81

They CANNOT be replaced by Trump

You’re not just voting for Biden for four years, you’re voting for judges on the Supreme Court and lower Federal courts that the President appoints for life: thirty, forty, or fifty years

This election is about so much much more than the President

We already lost the Supreme Court in 2016, we can’t let it go further right

I don’t think The Good Place gets enough credit for the diversity of its cast. The main romantic lead is a black man from Senegal who is allowed to be as nerdy as he wants. In fact, his nerdiness is the saving grace of the main character. The character that is often considered to be the pinnacle of beauty on the show is a woman of Indian descent who is not super light skinned. Another character is a Filipino man who, while incredibly stupid, can be incredibly perceptive and offers loving emotional advice and is described as incredibly sexually-desirable. The all-knowing judge on the show, considered to be the most powerful character as of the season three finale, is a black woman. The main character is canonically sexually attracted to both men and women and (while it hasn’t been canonically confirmed yet) is probably at the very least bisexual, if not pansexual. She also regularly talks about how she loved to sleep around and is never slut-shamed for either her sexuality or her fondness for sex. And that’s just in the core cast. There’s also a black female neuroscientist who gets several episode long arcs in both season 3 and (about to be) season 4. Not to mention the supporting cast and guest characters feature several people of color, while the main villains are mostly old, white men.

And all of these characters are actual characters! Even the small parts where a side character may only be in an episode or two results in really developed and fleshed out characterizations. Also, the characterizations don’t fall into the trap of stereotypes to make them more likeable!!

But while all of this diversity is amazing, the show also manages to make it feel organic. There’s no tokenism or show-boating. It’s never a “look, the main love interest is a black man!!!!! We’re so woke!!!!!!!”. It’s genuine diversity built from a place of love and understanding and idk, I just think that the show deserves a lot of credit for taking such an amazing concept and using it to build such a diverse world with such in depth characters. It’s a nice change.

[silver-tangent]

Not to mention it’s a philosophical masterpiece that’s obviously written by philosophy and ethics enthusiasts, and has some deep philosophy jokes that you’ll only get after studying philosophy… which you’ll probably want to do after watching The Good Place.

And all of this stuff is mainly discussed by the aforementioned POC in the show.

There’s a female lead, sure, but instead of being the often annoying “white savior” the show flips that trope around (or throws it out I can’t decide which is more apt) and makes her into the audience surrogate. She’s the “white student” if you will, who is learning how to be a better person from a black man.

Go watch The Good Place dammit. It’s great, AND it’s a philosophical masterpiece.

There are some very self-aware moments about their casting policies, but instead of being preachy, they’re hilarious.  Like this one: 

[cirillaofcintra]

Christmas was coming. One morning in mid-December, Hogwarts woke to find itself covered in several feet of snow. The lake froze solid and the Weasley twins were punished for bewitching several snowballs so that they followed Quirrell around, bouncing off the back of his turban. The few owls that managed to battle their way through the stormy sky to deliver mail had to be nursed back to health by Hagrid before they could fly off again. No one could wait for the holidays to start.
