most successful system resources are made by pro-endos or are endo-neutral for 2 main reasons
people with severe childhood trauma are less likely to have access to the means and stability required to maintain system resources for a wider community. how can you maintain an alter-tracking app or run a support group when your priorities are escaping abuse, stabilizing your life, coping with trauma, etc? especially when trauma survivors are more likely to be in poverty. a system that formed without trauma exists at a point of privilege, as they are generally less likely to be in an ongoing stressful situation that would prohibit maintaining these resources. anyone who brags of how "pro endos are running the most prolific system/plural supports so its pointless to be anti endo" is effectively bragging about how endogenics are better than ppl with cdds because they lack trauma.
widespread anti endo resources get harassed into shutting down (see systemtime) or pressured and blacklisted into declaring themselves endo neutral (see octocon). anti endo resources are forced into being localized, smaller, and not publicly talked about bc its been years and the pro endo community still has a massive problem of violently demanding that anti endos surrender their resources (and security- see pluralkits ongoing privacy issues!) to them.
ID: an amv of Sokka, Katara, Aang, and Yue set to Children's Work by Dessa. It focuses on the gaang’s early relationships with each other and the heavy responsibilities they carry. Detailed description under the cut.
Intro: clips of Katara and Sokka arguing over their roles in the village and early disagreements about Aang.
Verse 1 & chorus 1 follows Sokka's POV. Clips include young Sokka hugging Hakoda goodbye, Katara crying before the tree in The Swamp that she thought was Kya, Aang at the Southern Air Temple, and Sokka sleeping with his weapons in his bedroll. On “Heard my mother … wonder what she did to get such a serious kid”: Sequence cuts to Kya's face, her killer's face, back to Kya, then fades into Sokka's face, crying in the Day of Black Sun when Azula taunts him about Suki's safety. “I've learned how to paint my face”: Sokka applying his traditional warrior tribal makeup fades into Sokka in Kyoshi Warrior makeup. “Earn my keep… clean my kill” includes Sokka fighting Zuko for the first time and again after training with the Warriors. “Sometimes the past rolls back” Sokka tending a fire fades into young-Sokka and young-Katara playing before black snow falls. “You've learned how to hold your own” shows Katara: Fighting Pakku, speaking to the Earthbender prisoners, Katara with her mother's necklace. “Children aren't as simple as we like to think” Bato applying the marks of the wise, mark of the brave, and mark of the trusted to Sokka, Katara, and Aang
Verse 2 & chorus 2 follows Katara's POV. Clips show Katara waterbending and Katara and Sokka meeting Aang for the first time. “Mom said it was serious, dad said you’d be fine” shows first Sokka telling Aang to get out of their village, then Kanna telling Katara and Sokka that their fates are intertwined with the Avatar’s now. “I thought you were the prophet of 1989” shows Aang standing on a cliff during the series opening credits. “You were so tender… so patient” shows Aang playing in the village and Sokka’s disapproval. Then clips of Aang in the avatar state and as Avatar Roku, Aang having his dramatic fortune read by Aunt Wu. Through “And I made you a library…but smiled”. Katara gives Aang an acorn to show how the burned oak forest will regrow and Aang smiles. “Taught me how to quiet down my mind” Katara laughs as Aang imitates a penguin. “I’ve learned how to paint my face, how to earn my keep, how to clean my kill” shows: Katara healing herself with waterbending for the first time, Katara successfully defending herself with the waterwhip bending technique, Katara waterbending dangerously thin sheet of ice at Pakku. “The past rolls back” shows Hanna's memory of Southern Water Tribe benders freezing a fire navy ship into ice; the image fades into the present-day ship Katara and Aang explore. “I can see us, still” shows the Southern Water Tribe benders fighting off fire nation raids. Kanna stands fighting at the center until she is the last one left. “You’ve learned how to hold your own… but the history’s thick” shows Aang fighting with Zhao, protecting a village from a volcano, Aang finding Monk Gyatso’s remains at the Southern Air Temple. “Children aren’t as simple”shows the monks telling Aang he is the Avatar.
Bridge: During the instrumental break Katara talks Aang down from the avatar state at the Southern Air Temple. Aang comes down from the air and Katara, Sokka, and Aang hug and stand together. “And if I kept quiet, I could hear all the voices in your head” shows Katara in the hall with statues of past Avatars, the statue’s eyes lighting up when Aang enters the avatar state.
Verse 3: Follows the events during the siege of the North, starting with Aang entering the spirit world, Katara guarding Aang from Zuko while Aang meditates, and the sky darkening when the Moon Spirit is captured by Zhao. “I asked god to take the damage out on me” shows Sokka, Aang, and Katara readying for battle while the sky is red. “10 years later, he finally gets the memo… knocked out my front teeth” shows clips of baby Yue being saved by the Moon Spirit, then present-day Yue walking away from Sokka as she decides to give the Moon Spirit life back. She lays her hands on the dead Koi fish and collapses into Sokka’s arms. “But you came to… so we decided not to cry” shows Yue returning as a spirit, kissing Sokka goodbye, and the moon reappearing in the sky. “But I won’t pretend… how unusual we were” shows Aang, Katara, and Sokka at night flying on Appa, right in front of a full moon. The silhouettes of Katara and Sokka hug Aang. “The little mystic, and his handler, all some children do is work” shows an ending scene of The Siege of the North, Katara and Aang hugging, then Katara, Aang, Sokka, Appa, and Momo facing the full moon together.
Outro follows Aang's POV: Features scenes of Aang neutral-faced with Koh the Face Stealer, the Ocean spirit taking over Aang in the spirit oasis, and Aang as the giant “Koizilla” Ocean spirit towering above buildings. “The past rolls back”, as Aang tells Katara a story around a fire, the image fades into a memory of the Southern Air Temple. A younger Aang bows to Gyatzo, who affectionately pats his head. The image fades into present-day Aang bowing before the wooden statue of Gyatzo at the Southern Air Temple. The video fades to black.
