i was born and no one’s ever asked my opinion on that. people kept congratulating my parents but no one inquired after my feelings on the matter. they just brought me into existence and didn’t even care enough to ask me to sign a waiver. rude
I have F in PE because I can’t pass the swimming. And next week we are gonna dance alone in front of the class. I can barely talk in front of the class without feeling like I’m gonna break.
And I won’t dance in front of the entire class when I already have a F. Just accept it.
erase the notion that undervalued and underpaid labor is not absolutely essential to the functioning of society. erase the idea that “anyone could do it” and replace it with “someone has to do it.” and then compensate accordingly.
yall i cant believe the earth is 4.5 billion years old and we managed to exist the same time as this
The personality of each avatar is what the world needed the previous avatar to be.
I think everyone should use “There is no war in Ba Sing Se” from now on when something obvious is going on but everyone tries to hide it.
Are fedoras really that bad?
YES YES THEY ARE
Nothing is better than when someone brings up an obscure topic that you happen to know a lot about.
tired: katara’s painted lady and zuko’s blue spirit are parallels because they’re both disguises that involve face coverings
wired: katara’s painted lady and aang’s kuzon are parallels because they are disguises used to help fire nation citizens in need. ultimately broadening their understanding of the fire nation, the affects of war, and what is important in order to heal the world. accordingly, zuko’s blue spirit and toph’s blind bandit are parallels because they are disguises used by the children of nobility to escape the watchful eyes of their caretakers and anonymously accomplish things for themselves.
Ok so that other post really got me thinking and like…no wonder Aang is so freakin quick to offer advice. That isn’t just him trying to be a good friend that’s him carrying on Air Nomad culture. That’s him acting according to how his people have always acted. Only now it’s not appreciated. Only now his advice is akin to “pre-school teachings” and not worth listening to. No wonder he wanted to cry when Katara shouted at him about his “infinite wisdom getting old”. Like ok, obviously being yelled at fucking sucks. But I bet it was mostly because he was raised with the understanding that the monks teachings meant a great deal to the entire world. And now it doesn’t.
He woke up in a time when all those teachings meant nothing to anyone but him.
