I relate to Amy Elliot-Dunne if only for the fact that I too believe that my partner shouldn’t have to be told to care about me and should remember things that I like and maybe consider making me happy once in a while without being told to do so.

thinking about how adam has been made to feel like a disappointment by his father his whole life and when he finally tries to figure out who he is without his dad’s oppressive presence he’s made to feel like a disappointment by his own boyfriend ☹️ adam finally has the chance to explore his queer identity and overcome his dad’s abuse and eric’s like ‘well if you won’t come to the gay club then i guess you’re not figuring it out fast enough for me to stay’ ☹️ and then the narrative rewards eric for this, he just leaves his bf crying on a bridge and the next scene we see of him he’s laughing and jamming out in his room while adam’s voiceover reads out a poem about how he’s never felt love like he did for eric to the extent that he truly believed himself to be a totally heartless person ☹️

I'm rewatching Avatar the last airbender, and it's crazy how maternal Katara is with Aang. He actually called her "Mom" at one point?! OK, that's comedic for the show and supporting Katara acting like a mother when she's too young, but getting Aang to say "mom" specifically? Help... Also, Katara is way more mature than Aang overall. I had forgotten how offbeat they were... And then Mai who doesn't really understand Zuko... Yes, sorry but for me Kataang and Maiko are not relationships that should have ended together. I'm at the episode where Zuko and Sokka broke Suki out of prison. Do I really find it impressive that Mai said to Azula, "I love Zuko more than I'm afraid of you." Uh... I'm sorry, but when was Mai ever afraid of Azula? Whenever she disagreed with Azula, Mai would not obey her. What happened with Zuko is nothing out of the ordinary. I still remember that unlike the other, Azula didn't need to scare Mai so that she agreed to join her group to hunt down Aang. Afraid of Azula? Let me laugh. It's so forced as a statement to make us swallow Maiko down our throats.

Thinkin about how Kya lied to protect Katara from Yon Rha. Took her place. And how Katara watched her die because of it

Thinkin about Katara and Zuko bonding over the loss of their mothers at the hands of the fire nation. About how Zuko, more than anyone else, more than Sokka, even, saw how deeply Katara was affected by her mother's death. How he understood- how he even thought to try to understand, unlike others- what Katara needed. How he didn't scold her, or reject her, and instead did everything in his power to support her and help her find closure, in whatever way she needed.

Thinkin about how Katara witnessed Zuko jump in front of a lightning bolt that was meant for her. Protected her. Was willing to die to save her. Another person Katara cared for, willing to sacrifice themself in order for her to live.

But this time Katara was powerful. This time, she was able to take down a firebender at the height of their power and save the person she cared for.

You know what proves the creators knew nothing about the ATLA fandom? Cause it’s so easy to understand us, truly, if only they tried.

One of the most popular episodes in the fandom, and one of the highest rated, is - Tales of Ba Sing Se. An episode where absolutely nothing happens to progress the story (except Appa’s footprint at the very last second). That episode is nothing but characters. No plot points, no tension, no fight scenes - nothing! Just our favorite characters going about their day.

While the live action is the opposite of that, it’s all plot and no character. So if you really want to make a good adaptation you should listen to your audience, cause it’s not that hard to figure out what we like.
