So I semi often think about the fact that out of all the Gaang, Katara is by far, the Angriest.
Toph is occasionally frustrated and activly enjoys being grumpy. But she's eleven and has yet to meet a personal problem she can't solve. (To be clear, that speaks to he competence and privilege, as well as her age) but she's not angry in the same way the older kids are.
Aang arguably has the greatest reason to be angry, both at himself and others, with the genocide of his people, but he also doesnt seem to enjoy being angry....it doesn't seam to apeal to him. He's willing to take grief and fear or his personal favorite avoidance, over long bouts of anger. He's just not build for it.
I'm going to group Sokka and Zuko together because I feel like they both have a lot of performitive anger they use to mask thier anxiety. Zoku's anger is the mask he uses to cover his grief and abandonment. And Sokka will always take the time to rage against the shape of the world to the point where it's hard to see where the anger ends and the humor begins. But for both boys, anger is a performitive emotion used when sorrow would be to distracting to feel.
Contrast thier actions with Jet, who's anger is the driving force in his life. Jets anger will not be quieted till he is dead or thr world has changed. Its not just a tool like it is to Zuko and Sokka, thats why thry can back down but Jet can't.
Katara's anger is more like Jets then like anyone else's. It leads her to so many risky confrontations, the same way Jets anger led to his ultimate demize.
But there is one big difference between Jet and Katara's anger. Jet's anger led him to revenge. Kataras demands system of power raise themselves to her standards rather than total distruction. For example, She doesn't want to destroy Paku when she duels him, she wants him to apologize for his sexism and change his ways.
She wants the world to be full of kind people, and she's so angry when it's cruel, so she has to walk this very strange balance where she is angry but she won't allow herself to be very crule about it because thr cruelty is the very thing she's fighting against.
The opposite of Katara's anger isn't calm, it's dispare. So she can't stop being angry, but she doesn't get to be visably angry at the people around her.
So I alway think its funny that people thought that she was the "nice one" because "nice" is such a dismissive term.
So how are deceased pokemon handled in your universe? Do they just die? Do they become ghost pokemon like Gastly? Or do they become spirits of some kind?
All of the above. It really all depends on circumstance. I believe the pokemon universe has different versions of an afterlife, as shown in game lore and in the anime. Some pokemon turn into spirits or ghost types. That can be a form of afterlife. Another is when a pokemon dies and its energy/life force returns to the earth. Who knows, there can even be a place that could be called pokeheaven where pokemon go to Arceus in a paradise above the clouds. Death in pokemon is never just one way, but multiple avenues. I go about it the same way.
I don't think pokemon have a way of controlling their outcome after death though, which is why I think it depends on the circumstances. I don't know if this is a canon thing, but I've always had the idea some pokemon and humans become ghost types because they had been tormented in life, or something tragic happened before or at the time of thier death. Whereas dying of natural causes such ass illnesses or old age, and having their energy being reused in a sense is a more natural and probably the most common death.
If we're talking in a more spiritual sense with pokeheaven and Arceus, to me, and yes, based on my personal beliefs, it would be the same as biblical heaven: not everyone end up there, but all are welcome if they desire to be there
I’ve seen a lot recently about how the modern HDG community has tons of issues. I want to help, I don’t want to contribute to the problem. What do I do? I love HDG so damn much, and I really don’t want to make things worse.
I see so much about what the fandom is becoming, but when I look at Ao3 and read fics, I don’t really feel it. That’s what worries me, as I’m scared that my enjoyment of what people are currently making is the wrong thing to do.
"HDG is an open, collaborative setting, constantly being driven forward and expanded on by people just like you sitting down and deciding to tell a story."
So. When I first joined the community, I saw this, this has been the welcome message for a very long time now.
This is something that cannot be un-said. this is pandora's box. A reality of having made this promise, of making something open and collaborative, is that people will add ideas that those who began wouldn't have thought of. that there will be conflicts in vision, artistic differences, etc. this is normal and to be expected.
HDG is and always will be a community project now, not something that belongs to anyone, especially not those who aren't actually writing in it.
I happen to agree with the take that much of being written nowadays doesn't meet my personal standards for reading, but I have an eye disease that makes reading stories difficult, so my time being wasted on something I won't enjoy is a massive bummer. for this reason I rely on word of mouth, my friends, and seeing what people are losing thier minds over in the discord this week to curate my experience. other than a lack of tags and warnings for sex- which i've talked about already elsewhere- this tends to work perfectly.
Having to do curation doesn't mean HDG is dead. That would be like saying a music genre is dead because not every single album that comes out is a banger. people change, tastes change, art changes.
It is factually true that now that we get 3.5 new fics per day, with over 30 chapter updates per day, there is a lot of noise. About half of it is just not amazing, or doesn't really get it. that's a reality of scale, there's no avoiding it, and I would frankly rather be part of a community that welcomes and celebrates "bad" art than the gatekept hallucination of a past that never existed where only the finest, most pure artists who all totally got it wrote HDG.
Elitism is the mortal enemy of earnestness. and being earnest is what I think matters most.
When it comes to Elitism, especially those who have some kind of platform and use it mainly to spread negativity, I would point to a gamedev statistic I read somewhere that 99% of all feedback comes from 1% of a userbase- the loudest, most disgruntled, and least representative. the hyperinvested, the trolls, the power users, the conflict seekers, etc. They'll dominate forums, they'll scream about how everything is wrong- and they are completely off base from what the median user thinks.
There is a massive negativity bias at play, and it compounds at multiple levels. I think the most illustrative example of this is that because the (quite lovely) current staff team for the HDG discord have no interest in doing advertising, the narrative about what it is like is entirely controlled by people who aren't even in it, and haven't been for ages, because they got banned for being assholes.
So in general, my honest advice is to not worry about it? even if I personally find the mass proliferation of untagged stories that treat sex as the presumed default very annoying, you aren't hurting anyone if you enjoy reading them. The tumblr fandom is just that- a fandom. its not the main creative space, and nothing that happens here matters anyway.
The main creative space for HDG isn't even the discord anymore, I don't think, or at least not consistently. its the DM convo where an author is losing thier mind brainstorming, thier friend spamming emotes about how hard their cooking. its a group chat with ten perverts, or a discord they made because we learned you can only have ten people in a group chat. (a tale as old as time.)
Write for yourself, write for your close friends. I always have- every one of my stories exists because I or someone close to me wanted to read something specific and then realized it didn't exist. Despite the mildly terrifying scale of a readership I have, I'm really writing for like, a dozen perverts I hang out with in VC because I like to make bottoms squirm. Read what brings you joy, not what someone you've never spoken to thinks you should be doing.

Computer!Mac x Reader HCs + NSFT (Under cut)
Mac, even as a sentient computer via the dateviators, can still feel and see everything when the glasses are off. Meaning, you two can still continue the relationship, just with some...physical differences.
You both figure this out when you had to clean off your keyboard while your PC was still on. Macs fans whirred in excitement as you carefully popped each key off, one by one...using a q tip and a small brush to gently get every little bit of dirt out of thier delicate Crevices. You heard the fans roar from each careful movement of your hands... You where sure they where gonna overload at one point.
This goes for when you clean the fans too. You do this when they are off, obviously. But.... You can't help but noticeac somehow runs hotter AFTER you clean them up on the inside.
Small pecks and kisses to the monitor or tower overwhelm them with joy. They can feel it, and see it. All of it. Your soft lips make them feel like a new computer again. Your gentle touch to the power buttons, the front ports, the disk drive...it sends them into an overload of fuzzy feelings deep in thier CPU. They can never get enough~
Any time you need to unplug or replug something in, you can hear the insides of the tower purr, and click, small mechanical beeps barely audible. Like they reacted to your gentle tugs at the wires. How gentle and precise you are not to damage them. It makes them feel so cared for. They love when you interface like this.
And when you have every port full? Oh man. Do not get them started.
You sometimes will say "good PC" and gently tap the monitor or the tower with your hand when they complete a task well. And if they could melt, they'd be molten metal at this point.
They enjoy when you organize files, delete unneeded things. When you redo your downloads or your game files, it feels so nice for them to have so much free space, and have you so expertly organizing your important files within thier digital interface. It's like a partner playing with thier hair, but it's thier thoughts and codes and files.
Sometimes, Mac will leave love notes to you on the desktop in TXT files. Small things, complimenting your outfit, or how you wrote that email a week ago, or those zip files that sat in the downloads folder you finally moved. They will also say how lovely you are, and how they feel so lucky to have e such a nice, caring user for them to call thier partner.
Sometimes, since Mac cannot speak without the humanized form in the dateviators, they will open command prompt and type to the user. They will have full conversations like this, and are always happy when they go well and thier beautiful admin seems overjoyed with what they have to say.
They can't help but love you, hands to hold you or not. At least with the monitor they can stare at your cute face while you browse or focus.
Since your romantic development, your old, 10 year old gaming PC that you got ages ago, seems to boot up so fast, like it's brand new. Like Mac is racing to see you as soon as possible.
NSFT under cut, you have been warned. GN reader, ambiguous genitalia.
