there’s a reason why the entire story of avatar the last airbender begins and ends with katara. there’s a reason why we are introduced to katara first before we are introduced to any other character. there’s a reason why katara is the narrator. there’s a reason why the creators have emphasized over and over again that katara is just as titular to the story as aang - she’s the other main character.

when you water down katara - remove her compassion, her ability to connect with others, her nurturing role, her ANGER and RAGE and DRIVE - you water down the very fundamentals of the story. you drastically and severely alter the core dynamics of the gaang, because katara was so important to the development of every single one of them. she was the rock and glue that held team avatar together.

katara was unlike any other character to ever appear on television; she was a young brown girl who took no shit from anyone, yet at the same time remained kind and compassionate and nurturing. katara was a force of nature; proud of her heritage and culture, burdened by the responsibility of being the last southern water bender of the water tribe, angered over the death of her mother and everything that the fire nation took from her, determined to help every single person in need, determined to change the world, angry and resentful because old men and rules and laws kept telling her what she could or could not do, thus, she was determined to restructure thousands of years of patriarchy that stood against her from accomplishing her goals and dreams.

watering down katara into at most 2-3 tangible characteristics, stripping her away of all her motivation and agency and nuance, telling the audience that she wants to help and change the world only to have her stand in the background with an air of grief, demonstrates that the writers of the live action fundamentally misunderstand the spirit of avatar. and that’s something so unforgivable. no matter how many changes they decide to make, or how much they decide to stay true to the original story in other areas, no matter how many flashy VFX fight scenes we get - if you fail to properly understand katara, you fail to understand the heart and soul of avatar the last airbender, everything that makes avatar such a timeless classic.

does anyone else remember being in, like, middle school and every adult over the age of 30 being like “drawing or writing on your hands is literally the most EVIL thing you can do and can KILL you”

[sh12pen-bookfan]

My friend once put her maths homework in a bottle of water and drank it, then became ill and wasn’t able to go to school the next day, pen ink is really bad y'know

[get-thee-to-a-shrubbery]

ok but you see what the difference here is, right? like you see the difference between drawing on your hands and drinking homework juice, right??

eventually you realize you don’t want to die. you just don’t want to live the life you’re living. and slowly you try to create a life you want to live. just gotta start there.

U can post shit like this to mock vegans but this is literally true. Like the overlap between animal agriculture and gender oppression is an actual area of research. One of the scholars whose work I follow keeps sheep himself and made this argument from a historical perspective. It’s not a ~crazy animal rights activist~ talking point.

[scoutsmoocrew]

Yes it is

[pyjama-llama]

Think LONG and HARD about how you would get "milk" from a male cow, a.k.a. a bull.

[antifainternational]

We’re OK with letting them have this BAR though:

[socialjusticeissue]

Reblogging for the “shut the nazis down while they are being ‘nice’ before they escalate and become a more serious problem.”

Don’t talk to bigots. Don’t ‘debate’ bigots. Don’t let them talk you into ‘having a civil conversation.’

The worst atrocities in the world started with people downplaying the early warning signs.

I’m a little bit obsessed with makeover/dressing scenes where the reveal is an undeniable downgrade from what the character started out with. Top tier comedy

This movie set out to answer the question “what kind of guy looks for a girl based on shoe size” and man did it deliver.

[gritsandbrits]

If there’s one thing I like so much in this film was how they gave the prince am actual personality

[fishfrommars]

I would die for Himbo Charming

[cuerue]

hey so uh

Since the referendum in Russia has approved of Putin’s changes to Constituition, letting him stay in power until 2035, redefining marriage as “union of man and woman” and the government literally having talks about banning rainbow and comparing rainbow flags to nazi symbolism, it’s not been great for the LGBT+ community here.

In addition to that, we had the awful “Gay Propaganda” law since 2013 and the number of hate crimes towards LGBT+ Russians has increased greatly since then, and it’s likely to increase even more now.

So maybe consider donating to Russian LGBT Network to help us Russian gays out?

Why would you hide this in the tags!

[cannibaltree]

being horny is so fucking stupid. if you horny you’re immediately a dumbass. that person could literally just be wearing a t shirt and the sight of their collarbone feels like you just snorted a line of coke. god fucking forbid they wear pants rolled over their ankles. you’re foaming at the mouth and crounched on the floor like a fucking animal. you catch the sight of (1) toned muscle? flatlined. dead.

[nneesd]

OP are you okay

[cannibaltree]

does it sound like im okay? does it fucking sound like-

[transpondster]

This reminds me, America’s 45th President is an imbecile

[alfred-e-neuman]

Alternatively, it could be said that someone’s (someone who is alive in 2018) grandfather owned 70 slaves. 

Not so far detached from the present as they would like you to think. 

[bando--grand-scamyon]

But don’t nobody wanna see that last part

[spiritroots]

Everybody who’s ever said something along the lines of “slavery was AGES ago” needs to let that one sink in.

[croxovergoddess]

I hate when cartoons have a kid and the kid is a clone of one parent

[lux-collector-deactivated201805]

Bonus points if the boy looks exactly like his father and the girl looks exactly like her mother

Double points if by all accounts that the parents are so physical different from one another that their children looking like the parent of the same sex should not be possible 

[croxovergoddess]

I love this movie but yo every time I watch this scene I get mad

[lux-collector-deactivated201805]

Not gonna lie I actually had PJ and Pistol from good troop in mind when responding to you , Treasure planet didn’t even cross my mind

[croxovergoddess]

I honestly didn’t remember this problem in that show since I haven’t seen it since I was a kid and

Wow

[watersprit]

To be truthful my thoughts went immediately to Scamp from Lady and the Tramp 2

It even has that same 3 sisters and 1 brother thing that Treasure Planet had

WTF Disney?!?!

[croxovergoddess]

This one is the funniest to me because it’s the most mentioned in the tags and I even hated seeing the pups as a kid and it’s just that one example that didn’t need to be mentioned but Should’ve because EVERY Person our age range saw these movies and we all thought the exact same thing

“What the fuck”

But we were kids so we didnt say “fuck”

[dimetrodone]

I remember that this bothered me and my brother a lot in Rover Dangerfield…

[dimespin]

I talked a little about how I hated this trope as a kid on twitter - as a kid I kinda thought this trope was part of why people said I didn’t look like my parents. I’m mixed race and don’t have my dad’s fro or my mom’s red hair and neither brown skin nor pale white with freckles. Kids used to say I was adopted, because they couldn’t see the resemblance if I wasn’t a clone. Drove me nuts.

As a kid I’d redesign these clone babies to fix it. I took another stab at it for old time’s sake on twitter, so here, have a more thorough blend of Lady and the Tramp’s genes

[alterego9114]

I dare someone who reads this to tackle Captain Amelia and Dr Doppler’s offspring now.

[croxovergoddess]

I actually drew them by request a few days ago!
