Can’t Lie Dido’s Suicide Is The Best Thing To Happen To Both Dido And (kinda) Aeneas. Cuss Like Listen

Kuina: Toes would make a cute necklace :)

Last boss: so true want me to get you some?

Arisu: I fucking hate this friendship and wished they stayed in that weird dance battle

omfg that's genius I love it 

Alice in borderland au where everything’s the same but hatter is animated like a cartoon

Arisu woukd be adicted to true crime podcasts to the point they’d take over his life and he’d spend hours joining face book groups about either old cold case files or missing ppl cases and shit and he was a damn well known acount on these things and was like featured on a couple podcasts and shit.

new drinking game: take a shot whenever they say the word "balance" in the new live action avatar.

The beach definitely has a anthem but idk what it would be but like hatter wouldn’t just not pick one

I like to imagine if you piss of hatter he just spits at you like an angry lama. Like something like this I guess  Chishiya: what if we didnt do that  Hatter Spits at him hitting his eye Chishiya: oww shit did you spit at me?  Hatter Spits at his other eye  Aguni: means he disagrees, next person? 

I haven't read the series nor learnt anything about the rest of it as I’m waiting till their either translated to English or the show comes out so I can have my heart ripped to shreds completely virgin to what the series holds but I’m just so interested in the cards. I mean there's 52 normal playing cards but there's also 2 jokers building it up to 54 cards. Now I know logically the show isn't going to use the joker cards but they are rather interesting  I mean when they were first written into the rule book (although they had existed long before that) their status was actually above all the cards. obviously now its used in other contexts depending on the game you play (example it may be used to skip a players turn, it may also be the lowest ranking card or some other ability.). Its main purpose throughout is to be a wild card.  obviously all the important characters relate to a Alice in wonderland character- which ones are somewhat up to interpretation since how one reads Alice in wonderland and also how one interprets the characters motives of Alice in borderland varies vastly. But I mean come on the cards are such an integral part of the series- as well as Alice in borderland- so it only makes sense for the characters to relate to the cards as well.  I could probably rant about the characters and their cards, how perhaps their card are the ones we first meet them in, or the ones they die in, maybe the ones they held the most impact on. But then there's certain characters that we meet that do hold enough purpose in the show to be memorable yet either don't fit any of those descriptions or meet multiple. Perhaps its only the face cards- the jack, queen, king and ace- that hold characters dear to them. I mean Mira is the red queen herself no? in both characterisation and card references and yet that seems to easy. For it to only be the face cards when we meet so many influential characters.  I mean heck playing cards I’d find myself winning ( or rather losing since I always guessed wrong and would win to many games) on something as stupid as the 2 of trumps. So its not like the normal cards are something to scoff at- used correctly and their more useful then the ace for crying out loud.  But I'm getting off track, the most obvious character for the Joker would be hatter, I mean dudes insane and basically made for the role. But I mean, come on, the even more obvious choice is Arisu. Dudes build to be a wild card. From a nothing in the real world,  a shut in who plays games all day. Yet he seems to be one of the best game players in the series for things like hearts and Diamonds. his innocents, ability to make characters love him or feel sympathy, quick wit and much more make him stupidly good at the two heart games we’ve seen in the show so far. He’s a wild card within the universe. A trump card.  but I mean theres two jokers in most decks. A red and a black one. balance and all that. If we go with Hatter being the joker then obviously its Aguni. but then I didnt go for hatter so fuck that. I think Chishiya would be the other joker. Their both working for the same thing, both playing off each other in diffrent ways and both great at the same games ( although both will deny being good at heart games). In the end I could only ever see those two ‘beating’ borderland. how they’d do it would be diffrent but they’d do it together or not. 

their the trump cards in the deck that is borderland. or maybe I’m really fucking sleepdeprived and lowkey havent had a coherent thought in like 2 weeks and am trying not to post about Hatter being a furry. its probally that one.   eitehr way I want a joker game and I want it to be heart breaking. 

Episode 3 thoughts: 

Having Jet and the mechanist in one episode was a risk that didn’t entirely work, but is something I am impressed with. I would NOT have written these episodes together, but I think it's a pretty interesting take. It really pits Katara and Sokka against each other in a very interesting way, whilst placing Aang in a middle ground. 

I mean I HATE that they go “omg…you are the bad guy” like NO REALLY. But also like…assigning BAD and GOOD to people through just SAYING they are is soooo odd. Like no thanks. Let US work that out, have Katara be betrayed and hurt, not her just casually calling him a bad dude. 

Oh also the no bending zuko vs aang fight? Pretty interesting it showed Dallas’s tallents with martial arts in a really fun way because I could actually see it beyond the fire bending! PLUS the use of props in the fighting was fun! Zuko breaking that stick off and using it, Aang defending with the plates and baskets, it was all really dynamic! Oh plus zuko being hit by a broom. Oh and then the fights in the carpet drapes!?that was filmed interestingly (though the music was…a choice). 

Katara and Sokka riding the postal delivery carts up to the castle was a cute throw back to the original show, and also interestingly explored omashus own culture and how it can be used in ‘fights’. It was a neat addition rather than just walking there. 

 “You have my notebook” is such an odd line. I wish they went into more detail as to WHY this notebook is so important in the first few episodes because currently it means literally nothing. Like it seems to hold a log of his journey? Or his knowledge of the avatars? But like…a little more depth please! Cuss it IS interesting to know that Zuko put EFFORT into his research and it’s almost funny that he’s the one that teaches aang parts of what past avatars have done. Like its very comical! And Zuko losing it over it being missing is even more funny. 

Iroh unironically going “for the fire nation” was….a choice. And not a good one in my opinion. Especially since it FEELS like they are planning on keeping the white lotus plot line (they did show Iroh buying a lotus tile) so for him to so casually do that it just feels odd. Like him protecting zuko? Normal. Him doing that??? eeehhhhhhh.

it gets even funnier when you think about the fact he'd be searching for himself. like. I can't even. Both physically and metaphorically ya know. It's so on the nose it hurts.

Thinking about one post here that I read a few years back, where, instead of Aang surviving the air nomad genocide, he dies with them, and the Avatar is reincarnated along the cycle, and by the time of the show, the Avatar is now in the Fire Nation, and it's. Zuko. And I cannot stop thinking about how funny this is as a concept. The same guy who yelled at the sky to strike lightning at him. That's the Avatar now.
