Stranger Things Season 5 is literally the Ember Island Play from Avatar: The Last Airbender

(mostly the finale but some things apply to other episodes too)

Context for those who haven't seen ATLA: the main characters go to see a play based on rumours about their own adventures during their time hiding undercover on Fire Nation territory (the Fire Nation is the big bad that starts the war in ATLA) and it's absolutely ridiculous

(Click on the pictures to get the full view, I just combined some of them so the post isn't too long)

Characters don't exactly look/behave like themselves

Plot points are completely skipped, character arcs overly simplified, some storylines just very confusing last picture with Jet's death is El's death lowkey

Random inconsistencies

Sloppy meat (dick) jokes

THE ZUTARA MOMENT. IT'S LITERALLY THE MILEVEN KISS. (AND PROBABLY THE SHOWRUNNERS SUBTEXTUALLY MAKING FUN OF PEOPLE FINDING EITHER ROMANTIC) AANG IS THE DEVASTATED BYLERS DO YOU SEE IT

"Friends? No thanks! Best friends😃👍" ahhh energy (real Katara and Aang are slow burn friends-to-lovers in the show, they get together at the very end)

We have some fans immediately coming up with better rewrites

We have the GA being dismissive of the true fans' criticism (sorry Toph you're cooler than the ST GA but it just fits too well jshshdjsjd)

AND IT ENDS WITH THE EVIL SIDE WINNING. Because they're the ones putting on the play and the real story isn't over yet!!!

Everything basked in Mindy red and conformity orange . . .

Need I say any more?

I rest my case.

(Obviously this doesn't mean it's intentional but the parallels are just too fucking funny holy smokes. Then again, Avatar is undeniably quite a legendary show and at least someone in the writers team full of film and tv nerds must know it. It's the kind of show that rubs off on one easily and never gets old) (if you haven't watched it this is your sign to go do that right now!!!)

Edit: WAIT OMG HOW DID I NOT REALISE BEFORE- KATARA IS BLUE AND AANG IS YELLOW (except when they're undercover in the fire nation). LITERALLY. WHAT IN THE WORLDDDDD

The Coqui 'issue'

Happy Pride to everyone! I am like 4, 3 days late to say so but like, I'm tired af these days. Anyway, as you see the title, I am gonna be talking about coquis.

You may ask, what is a coqui? This is a coqui:

Small, harmless, and with a very cute and (at least for me and most of every Puertorican) soothing with its lil sound.

Then what is the issue with it?

Nothing. Like, absolutely NOTHING. There is no problems with them, everyone respects it, its native to the land and a symbol of the island of Puerto Rico, has been for a very long time. The issue is the STUPID and MORONIC tourists who want to get rid of them.

This reddit user deleted their account by now due to the backlash most likely but the damage has been done already. People are outraged and have started to speak up for the frog. And as you can see, so am I, because I am Puertorican, lived here my whole life.

I ain't sugar coating jack. I understand that some people do not like the sounds of animals at night when trying to sleep but if your only solution is to spray and kill a native animal, a native ENDANGERED and LEGALLY PROTECTED animal, then you are a fucking idiot and should stay off the island. And I am pretty sure the one who was complaining about the coqui being loud and annoying was a gringo.

I have had many encounters with coqui, quite a few live in my backyard and my ma has found some in our washing machine. And what does she do? She gets them out of there and puts them in a tree. Simple as that. Because they are not a parasite, they are part of the land and they were here first and should be the ones who stay when we all inevitably die, okay?

If you are to come and travel to Puerto Rico, be my guest, just leave the damn frogs alone. Get earplugs, or use a white noise machine or just anything to drown out the coqui if their sounds really do bother you. And if you can't do that and try to kill em, well, I hope you get sprayed too. With bear spray. And get set on fire. And die, just like how you would do so to the harmless, and small frogs just for the sake of silence. :)

This is a watercolor painting I did like last year, lol. It's very messy, and it was my first attempt at an actual painting, but I like it, so I'm posting it!
