one thing that took me embarrassingly long to learn is "sometimes when people say things, they will not be true."

I used to tell people about this revelation and they'd be like yeah.....duh.....but like, why wouldn't my base assumption be that you're communicating to me in a straightforward manner. anyway, I get scammed a lot.

Book 2 au: sparring sessions and short hair katara

They like to have sparring sessions in order to keep their bending skills sharp. They allow themselves to go all out and not hold back at all cause they know if anyone got hurt, Katara could just heal them

But anyways, wouldn't it be kinda funny if Zuko accidentally burned Katara's hair tho? Aofkqldkkajfjd

The "I think we can save the hairloops" line is from @linnoya-writes thank you for that!! :>>

I loved your drawing(and I love your style in general) with Leia in your recent post! If/when you have time can we see more of her in your style? I get so happy whenever I actually see people mention/talk about her and she’s not just forgotten because we didn’t get to see much of her. 😭

thank you! 💙💙💙 Leia/Leah/Lea/whatever is fascinating to me. she is the ultimate unknown. what was she like? how involved (or even aware of any details of the invasion) was she? Silver's basically a physical carbon copy of his biodad, so what did he get from her? like, I understand why the two of them kind of have to stay as these super vague and mysterious figures -- the whole point of them is that their story ended 400+ years ago and they're not really relevant anymore (and. well. the more that gets explained about them, the less that can just kinda be handwaved as "oh the politics were Very Messy") (we can sit here and theorize all day but let us acknowledge that, ultimately, canon gave us almost nothing about them post-Meleanor and we'd just be making things up). I do still wonder about her though! RIP Lea, we never knew you and we probably never will.

actually you know what, as long as we're here, I think I WILL go ahead and just make some stuff up about what Silver might've inherited from her instead.

Okay but do you know what really gets me?

There's no one left in-universe who can or will talk about Jaybin as he really was.

Bruce is the founder of the Jaybin Slander Department;

Alfred is no better.

Dick wasn't around much, didn't know him that well.

If Barbara ever interacted with him in his original run, I haven't found it yet.

I mean, he had some interactions with the Teen Titans, but was he really close with any of them?

I suppose Gordon could, assuming he isn't in on the Jason-bashing. I haven't seen it but I could be missing something.

And, well, Jason... somehow, I don't think anyone's asking Jason what he was like as a kid, nor is he really a reliable source. Autobiographical memory is weird.

No one in-universe will ever really talk about this bright, friendly, eager kid, and it's a tragedy.

He was smart and clever and had so much compassion.

He wanted so badly to help people, and he found joy in his work as Robin.

He had a dramatic flair and he was kind of a nerd and he was really funny on occasion.

He was so deeply, fundamentally good, and the fact that somehow his legacy has been twisted into one of anger and recklessness is honestly a crime.

It makes me so desperately sad that there's not a single character who can even start to undo the lasting damage of a four-decade smear campaign against a kid who did nothing to deserve it.

Idgaf I nodded when Katara bloodbent that piece of shit captain in TSR because it really did feel like generations of ancestral rage channeled through her as she used a power that was created by the only other surviving Southern Water Tribe bender who had used that same power to escape colonial imprisonment and torture. And yeah, that’s not how the (white) writers wanted us to view blood bending if The Puppetmaster is anything to go by but they gave Aang energy bending and Zuko lightning bending so Katara should be able to blood bend a soldier of the Fire Nation without judgement.

despite Laios low self esteem making him think that if he’d been eaten, Chilchuck and Marcille wouldn’t have helped Falin,

theres a small part of me that thinks the reason Chilchuck stayed with the party and went back in the dungeon in the first place was because he didn’t want to leave Laios alone. That Laios was moreso the reason he stayed.

“Thoughts about the concept of this connection between all the Terrans”!?

Very curious now 👀

SO BASICALLY.

The concept is rather simple right. Telling this for the people who didn't watch Earthspark. You feel something -> everyone else feel the same thing. And this connection ties two humans and five Cybertronians. Simple.

But the IMPLICATIONS. It's all fun and stuff when the connection is about feeling someone being happy. But the moment you start to think about other emotions? That's a nightmare.

What about fear? Embarrassment? What about boredom? Boredom doesn't sound bad but imagine. Your sister wants to talk about her special interest. You don't even understand it but you are trying to be supportive and polite so you listen to her anyway. Except - the whole family knows what you actually feel.

The concept of emotional connection is a horror story material. There's always a whole lot emotions in your head. You can't do something embarrassing without all your siblings immediately knowing about that. Good chunk of privacy is just GONE. You fucked up and now ashamed? Everyone felt that. You saw a big spider and it gave you a tiny heart attack? All your siblings know.

You have a tough time and feeling down? All your brothers and sisters suffer from it. And you know it. And they know it. So they all grow tired of you constantly ruining their mood. And you can feel them starting being annoyed. But you can't turn off your own emotions can you?

You have a crush? Every. Each. One. Of your brothers and sisters. Can feel. Every time you're fucking horny. If it isn't a disaster then what is it? I would go insane if I had to live like that.

Moving to the more..physical territory.

Are you sure humans and Cybertronians have all the same emotions? What about the emotions humans don't have? What about Cybertronians feeling something and humans being absolutely unable to process it because he don't have the part of the brain responsible for that?

Or perhaps Cybertronians getting dysphoria because they keep experiencing the feelings they weren't built for?

Oh and. Can your siblings feel when you are in pain? Because if they can then you probably don't want to make fighting with evil forces your every day routine.

And you definitely don't want your enemies knowing about the connection right? Because those are war criminals. They would not hesitate to use it. They would rather quickly figure out that in order to disable the whole family they just need to get one person and then damage them REALLY bad. And humans are reeeeeaally easy to damage.

The show doesn't go that far of course. But it could. Easily. Just imagine.

God I have so much to say about Melinoe's characterization, and the fasinating implications about her future arc/the overarching plot of hades 2. I want to make a larger think piece with pictures but for the moment I'm just going to focus on this one specific thread.

In the wake of the Prometheus reveal, she has a slew of convos about his motivations for siding with Chronos, and the gods basically all go: this is his vengeance for us punishing him a tad cruelly. And Nemesis is like, yeah the gods 100% deserve it. But Meli's responds that he must have more motivation than just vengeance, it can't just be that. But when Prometheus explicitly goes, 'I'm doing this because the gods are horrible to humanity and I love humans,' she basically goes, no he must be lying. That motivation is both too pure, but also humans kind of suck why would you care about them?

Mel's humanity hot takes deserve it's own essay (Ms I think Humans should have never gotten fire and are better when they are dead), and I just want to focus on the former for now. She can not comprehend that Prometheus is fighting the gods for noble reasons. It just does not make sense to her. Mel's world is so black and white. She doesn't understand the nuance of the situation, and the thought that the gods might be actually in the wrong doesn't even get close to crossing her mind.

It's a fascinating (and horrifying) result of her upbringing. Of the constant state of war and the very convenient big bad that is Chronos, the evil monster who stole her family. If she accepts that his side isn't completely evil, that they might even be right in some (even many) respects, she would have to grapple with her whole life. Everything she believes would be thrown into question, the literal thing she was training her whole life for.

She can't have Prometheus fighting for a noble cause, because he fights for Chronos whose the Bad Guy tm. But he also can't be fighting for something as simple as vengeance, because that would also mean she would need to really think about what he's angry about. If the punishment was truly so unnecessary cruel.

When talking to Odysseus about Prometheus, when Ody's saying how much he respected him for stealing the fire despite knowing the consequences, Mel says that it was the price to be paid for breaking Olympus's decree. To her, Olympus's rules are sacred and ultimately good. Unquestionably. Prometheus broke the rules with intent, so to her, why would he be so angry at the consequences? Especially if he knew because of his power they were going to happen.

So he must have another reason, some secret machiavellian plan that drives him. Except as I already said, it brings her right back to him doing it for humanity, which she also can't accept. Because that would be admiting that the gods did something wrong to humans. She twists herself into knots to justify her worldview, and it's fascinating! She's so messy I adore her.

Please Supergiant please the final surface boss has to be a human pleeeaaasse (preferably a living one). Or at least have one (or more) show up in some other capacity. Mel needs to come face to face with the other side and have it utterly destroy her worldview.

And/or have (Pan)Dora betray her for Prometheus, that would also be very fun haha.
