nico and ash's whole fairy bit in samalamadingdong had such tech-kids-getting-dragged-into-doing-theater-for-some-reason-and-getting-really-into-the-bit energy. i don't know why i just really loved it. go off.

The boys who accidentally overhears Yuu singing on multiple occasions and now thinks they’re a lyrical genius— but it’s just some songs we’ve memorized from our world 😭

My favorite headcanon is Kaya spent way too much time with Uncle Zuko and it shows.

She was definitely taking notes from him. From the hairstyle to the facial expressions (and I’ve gathered plenty of screenshot proof). 😄

The new art of young Kaya II from her solo comic, along with the leaked footage from the upcoming "The Legend of Aang" movie, has officially convinced me of one incredibly precious detail.

Have you noticed Kaya’s hairstyle? Look closely at those loose side-bangs and the way her hair is framed. Now look at Uncle Zuko.

This is now my official headcanon: Zuko, our favorite dutiful 'girl dad', used to braid young Kaya's hair when she was a kid because it was the only hairstyle he actually knew how to do by himself!

He probably just learned a simple, practical style that also happened to be traditional in the Fire Nation, and little Kaya loved it so much that she decided to stick with it.

Young Kaya to Elder Kaya: Consistently pulls her hair back and leaves those long side-bangs. This is pure Zuko (or even young Azula) aesthetic. It is a very distinct fashion marker of the Fire Nation.

It’s so interesting how Kaya completely avoids traditional Water Tribe hairstyles for some reason. Water Tribe hair is always all about intricate braids, elaborate twists, ponytails, and a bunch of authentic accessories like blue beads, ribbons or hair wraps.

This isn't a traditional Water Tribe style at all. It is uniquely Uncle Zuko's style. He was the closest family friend, and this detail basically screams that he was that "cool uncle" who spent a lot of time babysitting the kids.

Uncle Zuko hairstyle… and fighting style.

The facial expression identity between these two characters just amuses me so much😅:

I just can't stop comparing screenshots of these two. I have no idea how much time Zuko spent with this family for their daughter to completely pick up his facial expressions.

Either that, or I have a very serious question for Katara.😏

I think it would be nice to have the option to hide numbers on ao3. Make it where the 'kudos' and 'hits' number is author-viewable only, have an alternate option for when a list is sorted by such so people can read things based off their tags and preferences rather than see big number go brrrr

I speak as someone with popular fics, it doesn't have to be a requirement but like, as an option? This could go for other websites too, tumblr notes and the like.

the fact that Robby is the chief of that ED often seems to be overlooked. or is neatly labeled as a case of 'white male privilege'. and so part of the fandom files signs of his mental deterioration as further proof of the systemic harm he's been causing to the entire ED. ok.

it's implied that his predecessor was Adamson, meaning Robby must have assumed the position during the pandemic. the death of his mentor is the personal tragedy, the breaking point for Robby's character. and it's used as an emotional anchor for an audience.

but the overall hell of the pandemic. the responsibility to lead ED through it - part of which is making hard choices on how to use limited resources. that is the work-related root of his ptsd.

many times we've been told that the ED is understaffed, under strain, and on a tight budget. there is a work overflow. and yeah, we applaud Joy for having a healthy attitude towards work. but the reality is: if someone doesn't take on the workload, it only means that someone else has to. we were shown the demands being put on nurses and doctors. it's no different for the head of the department.

after her orientation shift, Al-Hashimi realises that that's a two-person job she is being hired to do. Robby asks if getting a second attending is smth that she's worked out with Gloria. seems like he has a reason to doubt that Dr. Al's recommendation will be taken into account.

and don't forget. yeah, a teacher/mentor role of an attending is the most visible one as it gives exposition in the show. but attendings hold the ultimate responsibility for all the patient care MSs/residents provide under their supervision.

so. the chief of the ED in the trauma center and the sole attending on a day shift. who led the department through the pandemic, through the MCI. who can't name the last time he took more than 3 days off. who has the final responsibility to make sure the job is done. in a system that won't provide enough resources. seems important to the story.

I'll be honest - I don't get how Drawfee isn't a 10 million subscriber channel. They have been on the two million creep for like 4 years and yet they continue to put out the same delightful videos every week. Julia continues to commit horrible crimes and more people aren't flocking to them? I simply do not understand.
