check my strawpage for more stuff on me -> https://sawyersbio.straw.page/
not to be a smug and a bitch and a troll and a bit of a prankster teehee but like the last couple of days of intermittently checking out the atla live action's twitter account has been so funny bc like.
hooooowwwwwwwwww are *those* ship fans so butthurt and insecure fucking constantly lmaooooooooo now they're malding over the atla live action twitter acc giving "special treatment" to zutara posts
(it isnt btw. netflix has the poor intern who runs that account interact with literally every even slightly relevant post on the entirety of musky's X. they're running ragged trying to farm interactions and follows, the poor thing)
"zutara is never gonna be canon" yeah bro okay?? ppl know?? why are you camped out in the replies of a corporate account created for rather feeble and awkward attempts at hype-based advertisement???? what are you doing hereeeeeeeee?
those people are fascinating like. it's been 20 years. the canonicity of the precious canon ship has been conceived, realized, established, cemented and fucking fossilized in comics and sequels and every possible post-canon thing that ever happened, and you're still soooooooooooo stressed by the scawy rivalship?? the glimmer of the shadow of a possibility of it in an unrelated side-adaptation??
amazing. unbelievable. mb if you want live-action-twitter-account-senpai to notice you, make better posts. lmao.
Decade Review
It’s hard to believe that ten years have passed since I was in high school. So much in my life has changed, and some of it still feels like it happened just yesterday. I’ve had a rough time growing up, but I graduated high school, college, and even completed a rigorous certification program not too long ago. Those are achievements people are supposed to make in life, but I still managed to do them, despite never thinking I really could.
I also met people in my life who were friends for a time, who gave me a glimpse of what having a dedicated group of friends looked like, even if I was just one small part of their world. Even though it didn’t last very long, I enjoyed being part of something more than me. I’ve spent a lot of my life having only one friend at a time, or no friends at all, but this decade gave me opportunities I will never forget. Even if they’re people I’ve met online, those are some of the truest friends I’ve ever had, and I’m glad to have them now.
There were many times I didn’t want to live through this life. Most poignantly when things were the worst they’d ever been in my life, but friendship got me through it. And even though that friendship seems to have ended, I’m still grateful for it having been. I felt what love was for the first time, and it was beautiful. In the past year, I’ve focused more on self-love and letting go of all the negativity in my life. I’ve let go and forgiven the things that hurt me, and I hope that one day, that friendship can return and be true. If not, thanks for the good memories.
Overall, it feels like a dream, to be where I am now. It’s almost absurdly ridiculous how I managed to end up ending the decade exactly where I’d left it, down to the same neighborhood. The same ponds. If ever there was a time when I believed in the universe making shit happen, it’d be now. I went through a lot of bullshit to get here, but I got here. And I’ve been in the best headspace in my life ever since moving out. So I can say for sure that I’m ending 2019 in a good place. And 2020, I welcome positive change in my life. Let’s fuckin’ do this shit.
now that i've been back in atla fandom, lurking around and noting changes post-2020 renaissance (mixed feelings on that. z*kka blowing up, for instance, is fucking inexplicable.) for a while, I've noticed this weird strain of fake-ass contrarianism about Zuko's popularity like.
not in a "I don't like Zuko" way
not in a "I think character X deserves to be way more popular than they are" way
not in a "Zuko is only popular bc hormonal teen girl fans/edgy teen boy fans" way
but like. Actually ppl pretending they Don't Get Why Zuko is as popular as he is lmaooooo. Posting pics of fan popularity polls and batting their eyes like "why is Zuko so high? He's not the protagonist? This is such a mystery". This is either baby's first fandom type of behavior, or someone thinks themselves a way better actor than they are. Don't know why Zuko could be popular huh? I recommend you check out the show, it's like pretty good.
Not that this is a real problem in any sense, Zuko has been the fucking King and God of this fandom since 2005 and that's unlikely to change. Just a funny little trend to notice.
the only thing i have to say about the continuous bg3 "you're disrespecting these pixels" discourse bullshit is BOYYY ARE YALL LOOKING FORWARD TO SUMMER WHEN ALL THOSE CHUCKLEFUCKS WILL COME/RETURN TO DRAGON AGE.
WHOO BOY. WHOOOOOOOOOOOO BABYYYYYYYYYYYYY
the geopolitical dimensionality that will be added to the discourse, are you looking forward to that?? which ongoing real life atrocity will the pixel struggles be unironically linked to??????? PLACE YOUR BETS NOW
i'll just be in my player-character-exclusionary, npc-centric, adoribull omg pls bioware GIVE ME MORE ADORIBULL corner ofc. but i already feel the need to dig the fucking trenches.
approach fandom like a doomsday prepper. plan ahead, plan extensively, arm your brainrot-free mutuals with seml-automatics and stock up on non-perishables.
man the OLD old atla fandom works are truly gems that only get more fascinating and precious to me over time. like the 2005-2006 works on lj and fanfiction.net (most of them zutara because what else would people write back then lmao. jet hadnt even reappeared yet to turn zuko bi with his stupid mouth straw and overplucked eyebrows)
first off, those that were smutty and trashy are delightfully indulgent and trashy, and i long for the sweet times when teenagers wrote bodice rippers for their first fanfic, instead of after school safe sex psa (im being facetious, i know all about the "sold to one direction" treasures on wattpad and i appreciate them. ao3 is always inundating me with some "character monologuing on how to put a condom on" bullshit for some reason tho)
secondly, those that were good were soooo good. the speculation and worldbuilding those writers engaged in was so interesting, and definitely expecting too much of a cartoon for small children on nick lmao. the "Zuko Alone" premiere alone launched a whole fandom culture reset. the worlds these writes created and all the research they did, even if it was clumsy, and nowhere close to perfect representation. man those works are so full of expectation. so great.
lastly, im so fucking nostalgic for them lmao, those were my first years of existence online. when one of my russian-speaking fandom idols wrote a speculative fic on "Zuko Alone", and it got criticism on the forums (those who were there know, concrit and unasked for crit was so fucking brutal in those spaces) i fought for their honor as if i was Zuko fighting for his honor lmaooo. i argued the entire weekend until my father had to drag me from the family computer, and then i printed out the thread and took it to school so that i could study it and think of better arguments and more scathing replies during classes. id never fucking bother with any fic these days dfskghsdkgf can you imagine? reading fic in english with a dictionary beside you because online translators didnt exist back then, whipping your too-young-for-internet head back and forth between the grainy screen and tiny font in the dictionary until you had to go to sleep with head pounding and the words floating in front of you, ruining your eyesight forever?? insane that i lived like that and my parents still thought i was neurotypical.
anyways. i love old (old for me that is) fandom. i wanna scour those places and download all the fic and archive all the posts, and stuff them all in my mouth and keep them forever.
me, starts rereading Les Mis: ok lets be real I will probably skip immediately to the Javert bits lmao I only love one [1] disaster cop nobody has time for all this other stuff i just need to satisfy my thirst
Bishop Myriel: gardens and smiles softly for 200 pages
me, sobbing over each page: i’ve never known thirst in my entire life... this virtue i am blessed to witness uplifts my soul from the desert of base lust....angel man....père bienvenu... i will cherish every sentence of your presence..........
we can make it right ✰
