Imagine Chat Being Forced To Play The Piano So Obviously He Just Stays Playing A Random Piece He’s

Hearing Aang over explain how bending works each episode is genuinely so annoying. Now listen, I know the original show also has info dumped about bending. But at appropriate times! 

It feels like whenever Katara is bending with Aang around he just takes the time to say how air bending works. And then Katara can magically do the move. It doesn’t draw this obvious distinction between the bending forms, if he had said that for air benders it's about blah blah or if he had mentioned how a friend used to do an exercise where they follow the push and pull of the ocean that would be decent. It would show the difference, show how Aang as a bending master can be helpful, but also how he isn’t a stand-in for an actual water bending master and also explain why HE can’t just start water bending like a genius. 

I think a lot of the issue stems from making Katara an idiot when it comes to water bending. She couldn’t even draw a water droplet up in the live action, yet in the animated show she was teaching aang during the first few episodes what she DID know. This allowed for the two benders to play off each other, to explore Kataras own self-worth issues when it comes to being the last bender of her tribe, and also explore how Aang's inability to self regulate because he is 12 can unknowingly hurt his friends. But in the live action, Katara isn’t skilled, she can’t do anything, they literally remove the entire fighting scene of Zuko's ship which is SUCH an important moment for Katara and her bending! It's frustrating. Honestly if she can’t even teach herself to lift a water droplet on her own I don’t have that expectation of her growing into a master bender status once she DOES learn the actual forms. It's her determination, her natural ability, her attempts to use her bending to help that make her a really interesting and powerful character in the early episodes of season 1. She doesn’t have that in the La and any sense of natural talent or personal experimentation is replaced with Aang going “well the monks said-”.

No Aang, the monks didn’t say anything because Air bending and water bending are different bending  forms!

Niragi is the kinda guy who juices everything. A donut? Juiced. Bell pepper? Juiced. The greatest piece of steak known to man? Juiced.

Anyway one day this dude brought a chicken, cooked it but like it was low-key still pink, blended it, chugged it and left the kitchen silently all whilst Aguni is sobbing into a bowl of cereal at 3am

OMG OK SO I ACTUALLY DID SCREAM WHEN I FIRST SAW THIS AND MY CAT JUMPED AND FELL OF MY BED BUT OMG ITS PERFECT 

hatter reminds me greatly of the roman emperor Caligula ( ya know the guy who like declared war on Neptune and stabbed the ocean? and also tried to have his horse be made a consul)  so he’s got the crazy part down. oh and being murdered by the militants ( like how Caligula was like assassinated by someone in the praetorian guard or something)  oh and the sex crazed thing

Heavenly Tyrant is out today! It's a weird feeling after so many years of losing hair over it. It didn't feel like I was capable of finishing the book until I wrote the last word. The publication process was not a happy one. I'm not doing any events for it, not even a launch. I'm typing this while lying in bed and thinking about what a terrible year it's been. We joked about 2020 being the worst year ever, yet every year since has been progressively worse. And the coming years do not show any indication of being better.

But a big theme in Heavenly Tyrant is that wherever there is oppression, there WILL be resistance. I have had as much heartwarming support from peers, friends, and readers as I've faced heinous shenanigans this year. When a very, very famous author I met this summer asked me "Are you a controversial person?" after I told him about the stuff I was going through, I answered "To many who hold power? Yes. To regular people? I don't think so."

I want to thank all of you who gave me the faith to say something like that. Most people I know are on the right side of history. If you aren't - I don't want to know you.

Anyway, the book. Heavenly Tyrant is SO different from Iron Widow that I'm pretty nervous about whether people would like it. I want to ask you all to adjust your expectations going in. You're not going to get another breakneck-paced story about a Girlboss Going Smash. The smashing was the easy part. Rebuilding what she broke into something better is much, much harder. The story is a lot slower by necessity, and the problems she faces are way more complicated to deal with. I also ask that you read until the end before making a judgement because, well, developments you don't like might not be endgame! And there's a book 3 coming! (This was always supposed to be a trilogy; it's just that my publisher was only willing to buy 2 books from me at first. They changed their minds after seeing the preorder numbers for IW.)

Finally, I want to bring everyone's attention to the five songs the Bookish Songs Collective wrote specifically for Iron Widow! They're now available to stream whenever you get your music. It blows my mind that MY book would get such epic music?! I can't thank or praise them enough. Seriously, CHECK THE EP OUT.

I like the idea that chat is actually really good at keeping his identify because of how chatty he is. like imagine an interviewer asking “so how old are you” and chat thinking nothing of it just goes “oh yeah I'm 14″. but he's not 14 he's actually 15 he just forgot he turned 15 3 months ago but oops oh well cant change what just splatted out of his mouth now so the entirety of Paris now believe they have a 14 year old superhero. I mean they did but now its confirmed for them. in other news all  the people at my normal dog park now believe I am 2 years younger than i actually am because I forgot time has passed. 

this show is like??? so serious but that's honestly boring so instead here's more headcannons that mean nothing when paired with cannon but you probably cant deny all themed around Arisu because.. idk he's cool? kinda  Arisu cant cut a bell pepper. like he just cant. he somehow either cuts himself, smash it, end up denting the knife. its like a curse  this man has drank toilet water before. twice. on two separate occasions   he has a mole directly on his right hip bone that he taps every night as part of his  night time ritual  He’s had 4 of his teeth taken out of his mouth and punched the dentist whilst the first one was being pulled out. to prevent this from happening he held a stuffed dog and by the time all were pulled out the dog had been decapitated and stuffing was over the entire office. ( he was swiftly banned).  he's never eaten a Kiwi yet says its his favourite fruit to strangers that ask. there's no reason for this and he never plans to eat a Kiwi but its amusing all the same. he had a pet goldfish as a child but one day he saw it wasn’t moving and thought it drowned so he scooped it out and gave it a funeral not realising he had lowkey just suffocated goopy the 5th (the name of the fish duh). His dad never explain it to him but also never brought him a new fish or pet ever again 

wait wait wait this has been said ( if I'm even correct in rembering) but didn't Karube legit like call for Arisu to look at him in his last moments before his head just went BOOM?? like???? that's kinda fucked??? and like they knew at the very least their gonna be killed AND YET YOU CHOOSE TO HAVE YOUR LOVER BEST FRIEND WATCH YOUR DEATH AND BE FORCED TO LOOK AT YOUR DEAD BODY FOR LIKE WHAT REASONS??? AS A LAST PRANK?  like yo sorry dude for making you see my neck get lowkey exploded and watch as my dead body just flops to the ground but dude calm down it was just a prank bro no need to get all sad over it.  LIKE ITS KIDNA WHACK ???? but like idk get it you dramatic homo do your thing
