Did I Already Rb This? Probably. Am I Gonna Do It Again. YES. 

Australians all let us rejoice, for we have more TimeBomb AU AU. They live in Melbourne too (don't hate me Sydneysiders but there's no way Ekko would live in a city with shit coffee 😋 and it just works, Silco would absolutely be connected to the Carlton mafia, Ekko's the Melbourne Uni Student Union President, Jinx is the menace of the Engineering department, it works.)

For the non-Aussies (seeing I confused the shit out of you with the Bunnings thing), magpies are highly territorial and swoop in spring. Tim Tams are a delicious chocolate biscuit, and Collingwood is an inner Melbourne suburb whose football team has the magpie as a mascot.

Dang

zuko's redemption arc actually kind of sucks, and you should stop heralding it as the greatest in fiction.

there are three main reasons i say this.

one) zuko is never actually challenged by the narrative and made to question his imperialistic, racist, and xenophobic beliefs about the alleged inferiority of other nations, people, and bending.

you can say, "but he realizes he sucks during zuko alone!"

but i have to ask you: does he ever actually question the fire nation's values? or does he just realize he's been mean and scary?

his redemption arc is largely made into a personal issue of kindness instead of a social issue of him needing to make amends for both enforcing and benefitting from the fire nation's imperialism.

furthermore, zuko's redemption is boiled down to a moment in which he chooses a family member who is not abusive to him over a family member who is abusive.

two) zuko's redemption arc relies on audience bias. you like zuko because of how sympathetic the narrative is to him even when he's being a racist imperialist, and thus you want zuko to redeem himself. you root for him to be part of the gaang because of all of these moments of sympathy given to him by the narrative and these little moments he has with them that tease at his potential goodness.

zuko absolutely gets to the point where he starts to make better choices in the narrative and wants to do better. i'm not saying he doesn't.

but does he ever textually earn the gaang's trust and make amends with them? you might say, "well, yeah, he goes on life-changing field trips!"

think about it, though. how quickly does the gaang decide they like zuko fully now in book 3, despite him having hunted them and tried to kill them repeatedly throughout books 1 and 2? what does zuko actually do besides take a few of them on "life-changing field trips?" how does the gaang trust zuko so much after a few weeks of him being one of them and months of him being their enemy that they don't even think it's suspicious or weird or scary when he starts firebending aggressively at aang?

the answer is that bryke took too long getting to zuko actually starting his redemption arc and relied so much on audience bias that they decided the gaang had to forgive zuko and trust him that easily, regardless of it made sense.

three) zuko's choice of his uncle over his father is a matter of filial piety: should he abide by it by paying respect and obedience to his father or break it by choosing to go against his father? however, it is never portrayed through this lens. the choice is whitewashed and westernized for the consumption of a white, western audience. it gives no nuance to what it means to be raised with filial piety as an unquestionable staple of your culture and go against it.

this last one is racist, if you were wondering. because atla is racist.

Change my mind, except you can't because I'm right

Shit id buy

Imagine feeling represented by a 2d drawing’s eyebags, couldnt be me

Jinx's yearner face - timebomb continues beating the one-sided allegations

saw this tumblr add a while ago - had to redraw it as dickkory 

Now that i have thought about it for 3 years Uru Chan was actually so based for writing a character with ptsd that wasn't a caricature of a damsel in distress and had realistic symptoms no matter how unlikable it made him. You had half the fandom who wanted him to become the joker and half the fandom who hated his guts and girl never gave either side what they wanted. Uru Chan you legend.

A family of fraternisers

AUs where Viktor is raised by Silco and/or Vander are funny to me, because that means that most of their children run off with “The Enemy”

I figure this is a setting somewhere between the main universe and Powder’s AU

no cuz theyre so underrated 

Conner and M'gann scenes I love cause I miss them so much

M'gann's crush on Conner was SO obvious!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Honestly, one of the WILDEST first kiss scenes in cartoons back then.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wally, I love you and all your goofiness, but how were you the last person on the team to find out M'gann was dating Conner? I get that he was crushing on her, but they were too obvious!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This scene is another one of their WILDEST! At least she never did it again when told it was wrong. My girl M'gann almost ended a whole marriage cause a martian's idea of roleplay!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This scene in the season 1 finale was cute, but we now know there were gonna be problems for their relationship as time went.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This proposal was too sweet! Wish we got to see how they got back together ANIMATED tho...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This scene... was too much and I LOVED it!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This kiss was great, but the entire scene and what lead up to this says a lot. While Conner did forgive M'gann for the attempted mind wiping, he didn't forget about it. The fact they were actually able to make up again didn't surprise considering all that happened.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Them dancing in the air and remembering the good times they had was do precious!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Their Martian Wedding was absolutely wholesome and precious!!

I'm gonna miss their cuteness so much!
