i mostly yap about shows

[vaselinegurl]

i finished watching s1 of Korra and I must admit, I was a little disappointed by how the main villain was defeated. For how strong and powerful Amon was, it was baffling how easily he died. I expected a lot and we got sucide. I was also hoping that if there were a final fight, it would be where Korra got her bending back. (another thing I don't really like in the show, how easy she got her bending back).

imagine Korra fighting Amon with airbending, and she has this moment where she's cornered and this is where she realizes like "wow I need to be patient and think" or something along the lines and BOOM, avatar state and she's connected to her past selves. Then she gets her bending back and slimes Amon out. (a very good thing I'm not a writer I suppose)

I was hoping for a big finale and I didn't really receive one but I suppose it was poetic to see someone with so much power be killed in such a simple way.

Katara, arguarbly the most fiery and just member of the GAang, passively watched as her husband (and father to her children) neglected and became absent to 2 of her 3 children, simply because they weren't born air-benders.

Katara, the most out-spoken character in the GAang, becoming submissive and quiet to appease her partner, holding her tongue as to not hurt her boyfriend/husband's feelings and always prioritizing his feelings over her own.

Katara, who deeply values her culture, heritage and home, choosing to reside far-away from her family and friends, just so her husband can be closer to Republic City.

Katara, who taught the Avatar, who mastered water-bending in less than a year, who helped defeat Azula and ended the one-hundred year war... Not being honored with one statue, being reduced to the Avatar's wife and mother of his children, becoming known as a healer when she was one of the best benders of her time.

Bryke, you shall pay for what you did to her.

at this point, I feel like the directors for the avatar verse should just stay AWAY from writing romance. Somehow it always ends up flat and messy.

I'm not sure how they expect me to root for a couple (Korra and mako) when their relationship developed with a kiss which happened when Mako was in a RELATIONSHIP with ASAMI. It's messy and ridiculous and honestly, I almost succumbed to the mako hate

(doesn't mean I won't yet)

It just added so much unnecessary drama and it's just not as appealing to watch. (I can't with the kiss, I'm sorry).

so yea, avatar directors need to stop writing romance. its blech.

[vaselinegurl]

i feel so maternal over korra, I just can't explain it. She's just a teenager with a messy love life with the mantle of the avatar pushed on her. I can't imagine having to live up to all those expectations.

[vaselinegurl]

can we prove to each other that we can agree to disagree politely in the comments. I've just been seeing so much negativity surrounding these ships but at the end of the day, we all watched the same show and we all love these characters.

we can ALL coexist without lunging for each others throats and not sending threats??? Polite discourse is only allowed

kill em with kindness.

Zuko and Katara are FRIENDS, I do NOT understand why Aang and Katara shippers get soooo in their feelings when people talk about their relationship. Zuko helped her try to get closure for her mother's death. They have similar traumas they both can relate to; he nearly died for that girl. And some people are actually confused that others are upset that they don't interact in the new movie?? Of course, it's out of character as fuck

Their bond was important to the pieces of their character growth. And Bryke was so intimidated by the idea of Katara sharing more than 2 words with anyone other than Aang, they weren't even allowed to say "Hey, how's it going?"

THIS ARGUMENT ISN'T EVEN SHIP OR ZUTARA DRIVEN!! IT'S JUST LAZY WRITING

[vaselinegurl]

the concept of refusing to let two characters interact just because ur threatened by a fan made ship

[melancholicdreamer666]

Imagine being so insecure over a non canon ship that you have to complete destroyed even their friendship just so they can make fun of those who still ships them. Imagine being so childish that you removed Zuko's scar but not Aang as though to make a point. Imagine making your canon ship kissed and it seem so forced like they're trying to prove something. Imagine hating your female protagonist that you reduce her character to just being the girlfriend who has to calm her boyfriend down. That's not a healthy relationship and our Katara deserves better than that.

[skiyron]

so thing is with the zutara vs kataang discourse coming back up again (as it inevitably does) is that i as a neutral fan always end up feeling more convinced by the zutara fans’ arguments far more than I am by whatever the kataang fans have to say. I mean, it’s never anything new with them. It’s always “oh, you guys just ship zutara because you think Zuko is hot and you want to use katara as a self insert” or “coloniser x colonised relationship!!” or whatever. And zutara fans repeatedly debunk these arguments all while putting forward detailed analysis and pretty considerable “proof” of the pairing and. their criticisms are superior too! Zutara shippers take their time to study the show in order to explain why they think kataang is flawed, and I, again, as a neutral non shipper can’t help but be all “hmm…they got a point…”

and meanwhile you have Kataang stans hurling the same insults like kids in a playground. It’s been what, how many years? If you’re so convinced that your ship is superior, come up with better arguments!!!

[vaselinegurl]

i definitely agree with this because i'm definitely a little more on the mellower side like I don't even mind kataang anymore but if I'm faced with a kataang v zutara post, you can really see the difference.

I see so much analysis of zutara but then for kataang, it's just a bunch of people lollygagging around.

[zukosbangtan]

hate when people assume that i don't like kataang just bc i ship zutara like no even if i didn't like zutara i still would very much dislike kataang. like honestly i would be totally fine with zutara not being canon if kataang wasn't canon either bc for me its not about being bitter that "my ship" wasn't canon i simply don't like what kataang does to katara as a character

👀 your thoughts on arcane so far?

I've only watched until season 1 but I can already tell the next season is going to be depressing, if not more.

I really don't know how to write about EVERYTHING in one post 😭 so I'll just write my thoughts on current characters and relationships.

1. Jinx and Vi's relationship is genuinely so emotionally heart wrenching that I don't know how I'm going to manage the second season. It's so..strange and sad watching Jinx sort of go into the deep end because all she wanted was her sisters love, but suddenly, she only wants her sister and ONLY her sister to love her. It's killing me gang. I'm really curious to how Vi is going to...move on with the fact that her sister's gone batshit crazy in the next season. 💔

2. I'm honestly still rather suspicious of Councillor Meldarda. 😭 I have this really ominous feeling telling me she's going to do something bad and I really hope I'm wrong. Her and Jayce and really cute but they're TOO good to be true. This show is rather allergic to happiness.

3. Maybe not as deep but Cait and Vi are SO gay for each other. It makes me GIGGLY. Like I can tell they're going to be the absolute cutest little muffins ever. I just LOVE their relationship and GAH, they're just adorable.

4. I also just really want to talk about Jinx and Silco's relationship because omfg, it is not only HEARTWRENCHING but also HEARTWARMING.

This show has me in my feels. :')

[vaselinegurl]

ik no one cares but this is my update and its that I haven't watched s2 at all because someone spoiled it for me and now I know everyone gets slimed out and that puts me down in the dumps

[jollierbees]

I think it's hilarious that Zutara is now a trending tag because it's like we've all awaken to be fed up at Bryke ship-baiting us

They lowkey remembered that Zutara is like 50% of the fandom, and needed to cash in lol

[vaselinegurl]

zutara is so fun when you u don't have some kataang fans in ur face telling u it's not real

[vaselinegurl]

he has NOT changed one bit I'm crine bro.

[vaselinegurl]

every designer in that studio deserves a kiss and a free trip to the Bahamas because he LOOKS DELECTABLE.

i am gonna COMBUST. They ALL look so fucking fine.

[coksi-likes-shrimps]

Political trix because we live in scary times

[vaselinegurl]

i desperately need a fic where flora loses her shit and slimes everyone out.

[itzmoonies]

There's this indescribable feeling of taking your phone out in high school while being forbidden to do so in middle school

[vaselinegurl]
