The 72-year-old British actor also had roles in shows including Merlin and Little Britain.

British actor Anthony Head, best known for his roles in TV shows including Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Ted Lasso, Merlin and Little Britain, has died at the age of 72. Head found international fame as Rupert Giles in hit supernatural teen show Buffy in the late 1990s. He went on to have a recurring role in sketch show Little Britain, play king Uther Pendragon in the BBC's Merlin, and appear as former football club owner Rupert Mannion in Ted Lasso. "He passed away peacefully of complications due to pneumonia, surrounded by his family," his daughters Emily and Daisy said. His daughters' statement said "it is with heavy hearts that we announce the death of our extraordinary father". They added: "It has been, and forever will be, an honour and a privilege to be his daughters, and to have witnessed firsthand the impact both he and his work have had on so many." They also said they knew "how dearly he will be missed by friends, colleagues and fans of the show he was in", adding that he "loved his job very much" and "always considered himself incredibly lucky". His family acknowledged that "his legacy will live on" and said they considered themselves "lucky" to have watched him doing what he loved throughout his career. Head's other credits included The Iron Lady, Persuasion, The Inbetweeners and Manchild.

RIP anthony head, you will be missed.

When the depression is definitely winning, but you have one (1) thing that still makes you happy.

Am I watching My Royal Nemesis simply because I noticed it was color-coded?

NO! I started watching it because I noticed the almost $4,000 red leather Gucci purse.

And that's how I realized the purse (along with everything else) was color relevant.

So now I am watching it because it's color coded.

But that's not the only reason I'm watching it! I'm also watching it because it's sun and moon coded/light x dark dynamic, which is why an eclipse happened in both timelines.

But also, there's a whole thing about red flowers, specifically peonies, "the king of flowers," and how they are the most beautiful flower in a garden full of beautiful flowers.

(The flowers are her)

Because she was the most beautiful flower blooming in the royal garden before she was plucked and crushed.

But she wasn't always the red flower and her love interest wasn't always the dark cloud.

He was blue. Loyal. Smart. Kind (to her).

And she was pink, even in the current timeline.

So I think the past and the present Shin Seo-Ri are the same person since the grandmother mentioned an accident occurred and Shin Seo-Ri forgot who she was then, so maybe she had an accident at work again and woke up with full memories of her past life . . . but that's not what this post is about. It's about the colors, and how slowly, these two are getting back to their softer colors.

Instead of always being red and black, they are gradually moving to pink and blue one color step at a time.

And it's probably because they found each other again in the midst of an eclipse with a shining red comet included.

Or maybe it's because love (mixed with this bokeh effect) reveals everyone's true color.

Either way, count me in!

In fact when comparing Aang's parenting to Ozai's and calling him a terrible father they also insist that Katara was absolutely ok with how "terribly" aang was treating her kids. And she must be absolutely supporting of this if she had 3 kids with him and age difference between 1st and 3rd child is almost 10 years. We know Katara well enough to understand she is not someone who gonna tolerate something she doesn't agree with. If Aang was a bad father and treating their kids awfully Katara would break up with him on the day one. She wouldn't be having kids with him again and again if it was the case.

So they have a choice: either they destroy Katara's character making her a terrible mother who gonna tolerate bad treatment towards her kids, or they have to admit that Aang was a good loving dad and that is what Katara liked in him besides everything else. Either one or another.

So in attempts to criticise Aang they just once again humiliate and ruin Katara. Not that was something new on their part tho.

Okay, the "Aang was a bad father" bullshit got me feeling some kind of way, because I think people completely miss what the narrative said about both Kya and Bumi and their relationship with Airbending culture.

Because if you actually pay attention to how the two of them talk about their father and what he tried to teach them about his Airbending culture--they are dismissive about it. They don't care about Airbending. At all.

They can't remember any of the history correctly. They vaguely recall how Aang tried to tell them stuff about Airbending culture. But they handwave all of that history and kind of eye roll it and shrug about it like their father's culture never mattered to them.

Whereas Tenzin remembers all of it. Because he was an Airbender and knew the culture rested on his shoulders (and Bumi and Kya were clearly not going to help hold up that burden.) It mattered to him.

It clearly did not to Kya or Bumi, or they would know more about it.

I mean, the Air Acolyte's don't even know who they are, which tells me Kya and Bumi have engaged exactly ZERO with Airbending culture since they were kids. Why would the Acolytes remember them when they haven't been around, haven't furthered the culture, haven't engaged with it, haven't shown for a single second that they care about it?

It's not because they're not Airbenders themselves. Because the Air Acolytes are not Airbenders either, but clearly they still care about the culture enough to try to preserve it despite having less of a connection to it than Bumi or Kya do.

Not being an Airbender is not an excuse.

But it was never important to the two of them that they engage with the culture. Aang clearly tried to teach and engage with them, as evidenced by the half-remembered bits of history and culture that they DO know, but then I think Aang realized how little they cared--and then gave up and (mostly importantly) let them be who they are. He didn't make them engage with his culture against their will.

Kya wanted to be a free spirit that traveled the world. Okay, do you, baby girl. Bumi wants to be a soldier? Go get, em!

He clearly supported who his kids actually were and didn't force them to be something else.

So Aang did all of those Airbending things with Tenzin because Tenzin cared (and showed that he needed and wanted to know the history and culture) and Kya and Bumi showed that they just didn't give a shit about it.

That doesn't make him a bad father. He let his other two kids be the kids they wanted to be, and what they clearly didn't want to be were Airbenders.

The fact that they grew up and looking back only feel excluded when they think about the fun things Tenzin got to do while exploring Air Nomad culture, but don't feel the same way about the more mundane aspects of it says it all.

They wanted to do the fun stuff, but wanted to do none of the actual work of preserving their father's nearly extinct culture.

"I didn't go on a trip to learn about things I didn't even care about, so that means Dad didn't love me."

Please. Be butthurt somewhere else, because I'm not buying it.

Jaysteph HC : Steph and Jason become the "will-they-fuck-in-the-batmobile" couple everyone, especially Batman, side-eyes. Steph thinks this is the funniest shit ever cuz ofc she does lol. And Jason is absolutely making this Bruce's problem.

#Steph thinks its funny because they already fucked in the Batmobile six months ago #bruce should be more concerned about what they did in his bed while he was at the Watchtower

i couldn’t find anyone in the notes doing the obvious research, so I did it: if you wanna recreate this experience, play It’s Gonna Be Me at 11:57:51.

If it’s already May where you are, I’m sorry this important info didn’t reach you sooner.

Update: it’s exactly as satisfying as the video makes it look.

atla-suki

the continued erasure of suki as a key member of team avatar is something that genuinely baffles me.

she's not in legend of korra (not even by name), she's not in 90% of promo and merch content of the gaang, when she IS included she's either in her prisoner uniform or her kyoshi warrior uniform - never just in regular clothing like everyone else. she is constantly shoved to the side and forgotten by the fandom, with people bringing up yue more than her in regards to sokka (when he is actively dating suki). there's no information on their relationship after the show's end aside from a few moments in the comics. and she was not in the new movie at all, when she absolutely could have been included very easily. it's sad and embarrassing and it really makes no sense at all.

without her, the final battle would not have been won. sokka and toph would have died on the airship. without her, appa wouldn't have made it back to aang. she is a VITAL character and we need to start treating her as such.
