Question was "what's something fans would be surprised to know about you" and Mack answered with the same thing Will did in his Bronco ad.

Collintober day 14: rabbit hole

decided to use a new brush instead of my usual

[atla-suki]

the continued erasure of suki as a key member of team avatar is something that genuinely baffles me.

she's not in legend of korra (not even by name), she's not in 90% of promo and merch content of the gaang, when she IS included she's either in her prisoner uniform or her kyoshi warrior uniform - never just in regular clothing like everyone else. she is constantly shoved to the side and forgotten by the fandom, with people bringing up yue more than her in regards to sokka (when he is actively dating suki). there's no information on their relationship after the show's end aside from a few moments in the comics. and she was not in the new movie at all, when she absolutely could have been included very easily. it's sad and embarrassing and it really makes no sense at all.

without her, the final battle would not have been won. sokka and toph would have died on the airship. without her, appa wouldn't have made it back to aang. she is a VITAL character and we need to start treating her as such.

Finally made it to my sabbatical!

As yall may know from past posts, I've been dealing with a lot of health shit, and late last year decided to go on medical leave / sabbatical to recover and focus on healing.

It took a lot longer to get there than I hoped / planned, because health complications kept complicating. Eventually we found out the reason my health crashed so badly is because the brutal flu I caught over Christmas left me, in turn, with a brutal post-viral syndrome. So....good thing I was already planning to take a sabbatical tbh.

(Note: Get your vaccines!!! For the flu and COVID, because post-viral syndromes fucking suck, and COVID is still a huge health threat!!!)

My health has been really stressful and intermittently quite scary, but things are (....hopefully) stable again, and I'm safe. That's the important part <3

(Sidenote: I've been recovering from brain fog and pain when focusing mostly by playing a ton of Hades II, actually with an amount of success that really surprised me. If you're struggling with executive function shit and think you might like it, I would really recommend trying it or something similar as a way to work on rebuilding those mental muscles that doesn't Completely Suck)

I'm mostly resting and working on health shit, and blogging as a hobby (this is why reasonsforhope is just reblogging other ppl's shit lately lol), so you'll see me in and out occasionally, but mostly I'm trying to focus on my health

Speaking of which: I am very, very lucky that I'm safe, and specifically, that my housing and ability to access affordable medical care are stable and taken care of. I am able to do this in large part due to the Affordable Care Act / Obamacare. Universal healthcare now!!

So, having established that I am not in financial distress or need right now, luckily: If you do want to support me, my work, and my recovery, reminder that I have a ko-fi!

I don't always have time or spoons to respond, but I read every note, and I very much appreciate and <3 the people who have been helping support me and my work thus far

I will still be transitioning from here to having my own newsletter (which I plan to set to automatically repost here and on my bluesky accounts, probably using an RSS feed, so you will still be able to follow me on here, but the blog may just run off automation.)

Obv that's been on total hold for months now, but I did create a signup and landing page for it, so you can sign up there if you want to start getting the newsletter as soon as it starts coming out (hugely dependent on my health, quite probably at least 6 months)

Reasons for Hope

Good news, evidence-based hope, and reasons humanity isn't actually doomed.

Hope you're all doing as well as you can be <3

Keep on keeping on, and wish me luck with medical stuff! (Send me strength lmao, gods know healthcare bureaucracy has already made me need it)
