Thank you for this up. Avatar The Last Airbender is one of a handful of Inuit represtation out there in the eyes of the general public. I would know cause I'm Inuit. I am very tired of people (casting directors and Hollywood in general) think that you can just insert any Indigenous actor/actress as apart of any Indigenous Nation. It's why I choose not to watch the netflix live action of Avatar the Last Airbender. I'm tired of people not hiring Indigenous people of the Nation(s) they want to represent. Thank you again for bring this up.
Is every adaptation of ATLA like allergic to casting Inuit actors as the Water tribe characters or something. First we got the whitewashing shitshow "The Last Airbender", then the Netflix adaptation DID mostly cast Native actors as the Water Tribe characters, but Sokka is a pretendian, Katara is played by Mohawk actress Kiawentiio Tarbell plus a white looking Meegwun Fairbrother as another character, and now the Nickelodeon animated adult gaang series cast Jessica Matten, who is mixed Cree/Métis (who, by the way, were historically enemies with Inuit), was cast as Katara. Why.
so im working on playlists for shark bait, literally have bru- gw and tigs already and will share them if u want. however! this will be my thoughts on songs that'd work for a few other characters
strings - iyla
okay so him and the doctor right? right?? because he doesn't adress what that interaction is lacking til later but i feel that he'd resonate
pretty girl - clario
his need to please, to conform, to be whatever someone needs of him
loving is easy - rex orange county
lee starting to date neb and the chorus is directed at the doc with a little bit of venting upset
happier than ever - billie eilish
finally leaving the doctor, considering every moment he felt terrible in his hands. the times that he hated, the pleasure that he was lacking
are you bored yet - mellow fellow
after his first interaction with neb, or maybe even after mc shows him aftercare. either way the song is like "hey uh, we both aren't great here can you say something so i don't have to."
again and again - the bird and the bee
again (haha, im not funny) him and the doc. but this feels like more of an aftermath and him healing. like while going on the journey mc could show him this song and he lays in nebs bed just looking at the ocean bay windows like "wow... they were right."
how was your day - mellow fellow
HIM AND NEB, YES GOD!!! they're so cute and perfect for each other i love them
walls could talk - halsey
get it, bc of his camouflage ability... i'll see myself out
are we still friends - tyler, the creator
bc of how he tricked you... bc things are awkward now and he has to hate you but you're the first human he doesn't think is that bad
control - halsey
identity crisis by the end of the game, and nearing it. should he continue with his mask? should he isolate? he's very powerful...
do ya thing - gorillaz
his place in stryker's palace, his place on that island? he likes the comfort of his room, but he was lonely and stryker didn't exactly care for him
i think i love you - the partridge family
him falling in love with the poseidon blessed human!? very literally this whole song. bc they arent bad, and he's crazy strong, so why tf is he afraid???
glimpse of us - joji
very obvious its about mc and his old love
i want you - mitski
this man is desperate... not exactly for you but for his dead partner
this is a life - son lux
him finding acceptance with the loss? moving on. healing. he listens to it so many times, with the comfort that mc gave him about "consider, multiple universes and in one of them they lived forever."
over and over - rio romero
him drinking, bc canonically he resorted to alcohol after the loss. but also going above and beyond for mc even tho they and his partener aren't the same.
the world we knew - frank sinatra
i feel like he'd listen to this while drinking wine in the tub. thinking about his dead partner... possibly crying
every time i listen to “you’re a mean one mr. grinch” i can’t help but sit there and think “what did the grinch do to hurt you?” because dude just stands there for 2 minutes and 58 seconds and drags the grinch into the dirt
Had the funniest experience earlier of my swiftie coworker putting the new white girl breakup songs™️ album on the speaker at work and the moment she left the room long enough for her phone to disconnect from Bluetooth our older coworker immediately put on 10 hours of relaxing tibetan flute music instead and we all collectively sighed in relief

one of my favourite things about my boyfriend is that he's 6'4 but convinced he is a normal sized person and this does not constitute "tall"
once, if not twice, a week the card game shop he plays digimon at upload a top-4 photo best described as "gandalf and the hobbits" and every time he is genuinely baffled as to why he looks like that
listen to me!!!!
LISTEN❗️
