takes away the extra tail you took and gives it back to @tuvwolf

nooooooooooooooooooooooooo *becomes 5'4 again*

This poll gets to go here, too, as a special "Tumblr has more options" collectors' edition.

I was joking with the others, and I have to get input on this:

If you have a child- say a son- but due to time travel and world weirdness you're now over a decade younger than him and technically not the you who had him, and you had another kid,

would they still be siblings?

Yeah, they would.

Yeah, but only on a technicality.

No....?

You're your son's kid now, that's his grandkid.

Do the other, future yous still exist somehow?

This is the worst plot thread ever. 7.8/10, too many time travel clones.

......what?

I'm Bald / I'm You / I'm Me / Nuance / Identity Theft Is Okay!

See Results.

Honestly a fair response really. Especially with Aang not exactly reacting to Zuko’s racist barbs (which is… odd. I do sometimes think Atla has had strange moments like that, like no one glaring at Sokka’s glib remark on Jet’s death scene in EIP) But: Like the comics didn’t do anything interesting with Zuko’s bigotry at all from what I gather, but even if they had: arguably it wouldn’t have been great to keep it in. Most viewers will never read the comics at all. At minimum Aang should have really raised an eyebrow and made a sarcastic remark about it being such a charming response given what his ancestors did. SRs is such a mixed bag of an episode. It has some fantastic moments but there’s even just other issues like it being implied Katara only has misplaced anger for Zuko which is… uh no.

The show had some pacing problems, esp in B3 because they wanted to crammed so many ideas in there, so a lot of the season is jumping from one plot point to the next, instead of sitting down and dealing with the gravity of what just happened (ie. Jet, Hama). That's how you get Aang hearing FN propaganda demonizing his people in a class and correct it as a comical beat, only to spend the rest of the episode concerned about the FN kids having fun.

And the comics really fell flat on traversing any new dynamics between the FN and the other nations, in fact it straight up regresses them. The FN colonization is defended (once again, doesn't matter if they portray it as "bad" if the person advocating for it gets the spotlight and the victims can't even talk up for themselves), they treat people wanting to return the land as bad as the fire nation fighting to keep their colony, straight up act like there was never an interracial couple before?? the FN mayor hooked up with an EK lady (in a society where ek citizens are second-class...), its a mess.

And it's a shame, because addressing racial dynamics, that kids do face, would only enrich the show, not drag it down. What if Zuko made his comment to Aang, and everyone goes silent for a moment. Maybe Aang ignores it, but it's Sokka and Katara that look away at what he just said before moving on with the discussion. Wouldn't that be enough to show their solidarity with Aang? That they all shared the experience of having their culture disparaged and the dread they'll have to live with it even after making peace with the FN?

its the same thing with Katara, a lot of fans wondered why she would be anger at him, or rather "take her issues out on him". Well if you understand the degree of devastation that happened to her tribe and how that would effect her, then yes, you would understand why sitting by the campfire, hearing everyone praise a guy that just joked about chasing your friends down again, you'll feel a bit on edge.

These aspects deepen our understanding of the characters and their world, because it reflects our own. It's why I could care less about Zuko apologizing to everyone, but how victims of racial violence would feel in the moment, and how they would react. Even if nothing comes out of it, even if there's no time to address every racist remark that comes their way, it's more powerful to watch the characters struggle against it whenever they can, to show it's not something they can let slide anymore.

#bottled messages #the comics are so messy i dont even know what to say #people bring up the newer ones #but there's still this dissonance with the fn #as republic city is being built over a previous colony...#guess its cool to fight against a bad nation but not grapple with the effects it had after the war?#atla #retracing atla #no fn character is exempt

028. What makes them laugh out loud?

Puns. Puns, wordplay, anything of the sort makes him crack up without fail. The cheesier they are the funnier he thinks they are, much to the chagrin of his friends.
