Coach Ben In The Afterlife, Watching Shauna Imprison People Without Cutting Their Ankle Tendons:

Hey, that’s me

You guys are defending Mari when she literally walked all the way to civilization without them just to fuck Shauna’s dad

“is this character good or bad” “is this ship unproblematic or not” “is this arc deserving of redemption or not” girl…

okay but imagine, you’re 71 years old and are maybe thinking that you’re past the prime of your life and then you start playing a washed-up interviewer for a TV show and suddenly you have thousands (nay, more?) of people publicly thirsting after you and then you get to play a 71-year-old vampire and you get to fuck (on screen?!!) and you’re essentially a sex icon? god what that would do to your self-esteem

*wrinkles nose* shouldnt you be repressing that

told my roommate dracula was an epistolary novel because it’s made up of letters and she was like. of course it’s made of letters it’s a book

a writing competition i was going to participate in again this year has announced that they now allow AI generated content to be submitted

their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"

"Every writer"?

come on

Jayce's Journal - A Hidden Entry

no your done your done

this is the worst fucking day of my life, and yet i am not surprised in the slightest.

toph is an icon for disabled people. she’s one of so few blind characters who is a hero and whose disability is not her weakness or fatal flaw. while it does make her life harder, as any disability does, it also gives her strength. she is the greatest earthbender of her generation. she invented a whole new subsection of bending. the people behind the live action production had a chance to make history just by doing the bare minimum: casting a blind actress to play a blind character. they couldn’t even do that.

not only that, but they’re making her “slightly more feminine” to “humanize” her. as if there weren’t so many young girls out there who looked up to toph because she was weird and didn’t fit the mold. in “tales of ba sing se” she tells katara, “i don’t care what i look like. i’m not looking for anyone’s approval. i know who i am.” to have a female character who doesn’t conform to beauty standards is so important especially right now with the prevalent beauty influencer culture.

while the original cartoon’s representation of women wasn’t perfect, it was diverse. katara and ty lee were both feminine. they liked to dress up and look pretty. toph is not feminine. she grew up forced to dress in formal clothes and style herself a certain way and decided to liberate herself from that. all three of these women are incredibly strong and incredibly talented at what they do, and none of that is impacted by their appearance or gender presentation.

every day, my hatred for the netflix version of avatar grows.
