THIS. THIS. THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN TRYING TO ARGUE SINCE. ZUTARA STANS WILL BE CLAIMING THAT AANG WAS WEAK AND SHOULD HAVE KILLED OZAI WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING HIS CHARACTER AND MOTIVES. ESPECIALLY THE CULTURAL CONTEXT OF WHO HE IS AND HOW IT WOULD AFFECT HIM.
It’s time for people in the fanbase to finally accept that Aang was in complete control of the avatar state in that battle with Ozai. He was furious and his rage is clear as day, and he had every right to be. It’s tired to see people crediting Aang’s anger to Kyoshi or whatever all the time. The jokes are funny, but not here, not in this battle.
Aang enters the avatar state right after Ozai says this to him: “You’re weak, just like the rest of your people. They did not deserve to exist in this world, in my world. Prepare to join them—prepare to die.”
Aang reaches out from under those rocks and grabs Ozai, and then when Ozai tries to burn his face in the face place he burned his own son, Aang smacks his hand away and then blasts him into a rock pillar with airbending, the first element he uses against him once in the avatar state is the same element Ozai just called weak. There’s a reason Aang surrounds himself with an air bubble, and there’s a reason Aang’s airbending is so violent and unrelenting in this fight. He literally airbends so violently that he erodes a rock pillar all the way through in like 2 seconds. It’s a blatant display of the power airbending actually possesses, a big fuck you to Ozai who starts running away like a coward.
Aang is coming face to face with a man whose family line is directly responsible for wiping out his entire race of people, his entire culture. They took everything from him. He had nothing but Appa and the clothes on his back and his glider. That was it. That was all that was left of their genocide, a genocide justified by the view that Air Nomads were undeserving of life, that they were the weakest of all the nations. Imagine how full of rage he must have been. And still, he does not kill him. Not because he can’t, but because he won’t let the Fire Nation complete their genocide against the Air Nomads, he won’t allow himself to be robbed of his own culture, a culture that exists through him only, now. I feel like people really just don’t understand Aang’s character, and they definitely never give him the credit or praise he deserves.

To make matters worse, the story brushes off her behaviour with Odysseus as a fuckass curse and she proceeds to fall in "love" with 2 minors.
"if you find the calypso/leo age gap icky then what about frazel or solangelo or grover bring technically 35-''
SHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUP
Calypso is MENTALLY 3000 YEARS OLD
Hazel is NOT MENTALLY 80 YEARS OLD
Nico is NOT MENTALLY 93
Grover AGES SLOWER BECAUSE HES A SAYTR (i know this from what my friends have told me i might be wrong) so he is NOT MENTALLY THAT OLD
NICO, HAZEL, AND GROVER ARE ALL MENTALLY MINORS. CALYPSO IS NOT. THEREFORE SHE SHOULD NOT BE FALLING IN LOVE WITH MULTIPLE MINORS.
On the seventh of October I am teacher Mahmoud Atta. I work as a teacher teaching secondary school students.
On October 7th, I was getting ready to go to school. On October 7th, while I was getting ready to go to school, my life was completely turned upside down. Israel declared war on Gaza. After that, they announced their entry into the roads and cities and forced us to leave the city from Khan Yunis to Rafah
.
We passed through a road called the Road of Death. Tanks were everywhere. Bullets were raining down. We passed through a road called the Road of Death. Tanks were everywhere. Bullets were raining down. If you survived, your brother would not.
We've all seen the end of the world movies on the big screen. We have all seen end of the world movies on cinema screens, but what we saw was real and not imaginary. I wish it was imaginary.
We finally arrived in Rafah Finally we arrived in Rafah, the safe city as it is called, but where to go? The sea is behind us, the weather is freezing, and the borders are closed with Egypt on the other side and Israel on the third and fourth sides. I found myself making a tent out of nylon for myself and my family.
No water, no electricity, no food, no place to go to the bathroom, no life. I wish I had died sooner.
We returned after a long time to our city.After a long time, we returned to our city. The first sight was that a giant monster had entered the city and left it in ruins, so much so that I did not recognize my house or my neighborhood. Oh my God, is this Khan Yunis?
fI searched to find my home, to find my apartment, which contained my memories and my most beautiful days, destroyed. I searched to find my home, to find my apartment, which contained my memories and my most beautiful days, destroyed.

Thank you for this. I hate how people can't recognise the lack of consent within their relationship. It's coercion, kidnapping, and assault, plus they were both married.
[warning for rape and abuse]
I’ve been seeing quite a lot of pro-Paris posts on Tumblr of late, and can we just talk about this?
In the Iliad (and what survives of the cyclic poems), Paris is *not* a nice individual. He is cowardly, abusive, and refuses to take full responsibility for his actions.
First, his relationship with Helen is not romantic. They are not star-crossed lovers with all the world against them. He kidnaps her from her husband (who she actually chose from all the Greek princes) via what is essentially divinely powered date-rape. And when Aphrodite’s influence wears off, she hates herself for it, she hates Paris, and she hates Aphrodite. Or are we forgetting the end of Book 3 (‘κεῖσε δ᾽ ἐγὼν οὐκ εἶμι’, ‘I shall not go to that place [Paris’s bed]’)? Once again, Aphrodite has to force her into sleeping with him. Such a happy and well-founded relationship, no? Never mind that the only reason Helen is actually there is because she was used to bribe Paris in his position as judge of Miss Olympia 1200BC. It’s very telling that Helen thinks more highly of Hector than of Paris.
Let’s also look at how he acquired Helen: by taking advantage of his position as an honoured guest in the royal house of Sparta to steal their treasure and kidnap Helen. And as far as violations of xenia go, that pretty much trumps almost everything in the Odyssey apart from maybe the suitors. And then, when the entirety of Greece turns up clad in bronze and looking very angry on his father’s doorstep, rather than doing the sensible thing he acts like a spoiled child and forces the war to happen. Even ten years into this very bloody war, he’s only willing to give back the treasure and not Helen. He makes Agamemnon’s treatment of Achilles and Briseis look almost reasonable!
Shall we talk about Paris’s military prowess next? Despite being the cause of the war, he is conspicuous in his absence from the battle lines. He has no aristeia, and his battle tally comes to three minor Greeks, Nestor’s horse, and wounding Diomedes and Machon. Even Aeneas is more competent. Not only that, but with one exception, all of his hits are either from afar with the bow or while his enemy is fleeing. Even the one proper fight is won while Hector is storming along beside him. So very heroic. And when the battle resumes after his failed duel with Menelaus, where is Paris? Oh, he’s having sex with an unwilling Helen, rather than fighting in the war he caused.
If you want a nice Paris, go watch Troy or read some tragedy. Just don’t insist that the Iliadic Paris (coward, violator of guest-right, probable rapist) is a positive individual.
I'm not writing to you, I'm screaming... I'm screaming from a burning heart, from a mother who sees her beloved child slowly dying right in front of her and can't do anything. My child, Mohammed, is suffocating, weakening, his tiny body is trembling, his lips are turning blue... I see him fading in my arms, but all I have is tears, only tears!
Imagine holding your child, his last breaths dripping onto your chest, looking into his eyes as he bids you farewell without even being able to utter a word... This is what I'm experiencing now.
Mohammed is suffering from severe pneumonia. His frail body can no longer resist the disease, and the doctors have said that the only hope is urgent surgery... But this hope is distant, very distant, because I don't have the money to save him.
Imagine the doctor telling you: "Either you pay, or take him home and wait for his last breath!"
How can a heart bear to hear this about his child? How can I return home and put him in his crib, knowing he won't open his eyes tomorrow? How can I watch him pass away in my arms while I weep for him before he leaves me?
Please... help me before the grave closes... before his weeping turns into eternal silence!
