#literally everyone in the south knows

[demaparbat-hp]

Zuko looked up and locked eyes with his cousin, who was struck speechless. Then, ever so slowly, Lu Ten's lips twitched upwards. And then he smiled. And then he beamed. And then he nodded proudly once, just once, and vanished.

Lu Ten comes back in For the Spirits Chapter VII: Take Me South, only to leave Zuko with more questions than answers. Just how much is he truly aware of? When will he return? What is Zuko going to do now?

(What will the South bring?)

one thing i wish for in pnf is baljeet having a desi friend group. he only started being friends with the main group after s1 began, they weren't close before. so who were his friends before? the desi kids he grew up around because his family is very clearly still involved with their traditional culture and that includes fostering close relationships! i refuse to believe he didn't have any friends because that's just not how desis work, the desi community in any given area is very much intertwined. at the very least he has a bunch of family friends/relatives who all get together very frequently at parties and whatnot. even if they aren't "proper" friends i know he has a desi peer group hidden away somewhere.

also you're telling me a kid THAT desi didn't have ANY desi friends? bullshit.

THE STRANGEST PODIUM EVER?

JAMES HUNT and CARLOS REUTEMANN finish 1st and 2nd at the 1977 JAPANESE GRAND PRIX respectively. However, after the race ended, they were nowhere to be seen as they had quickly left the circuit to catch a flight home. This just left 3rd place man PATRICK DEPAILLER and his engineer to carry out the celebration. Rules were changed to make the podium celebration mandatory shortly thereafter.

ngl i always felt embarrassed as a kid on the Internet bc everyone would talk about playing video games when they were younger; meanwhile, i've literally never seen a 3DS (?) before in my life, and I've only started seeing nintendo switches irl like 4 years ago 😭😭😭 growing up, i only had access to my dad's work laptop and my brothers shitty, broken second hand PS2 that we got from our uncle to watch movies on -- and even then, i recognise that I've had it way better than most kids in south africa did, regarding technology 🥲 idk, i know this was a stupid thing to be insecure about (and tbf i was also a really sensitive kid who sorta believed everything anyone told me lol) but it's just kinda. yk. when everyone around you talks about growing up with every single console or getting these cool toys that were only ever available in the west, etc etc, you do start to feel a bit. embarrassed - especially when they talk about it like it's normal - and treat you like the weird one for not having even seen one irl, let alone own it, yk ? idk. i need to go bathe, i think sob.

dafpork is like a modern day speakeasy to me because everyone comes in like it’s forbidden but since it’s the modern day it’s perfectly normal. Little secret club

LMAO YES!!! THIS IS A REALLY GOOD ANALOGY.. AND SEE IT'S SO FUNNY because i'm like I DON'T WANT IT TO BE FORBIDDEN... i'm such an accidental hypocrite in that regard because i'm like "i want more people to talk about them i want people to be loud and proud it makes me sad to hear that people might have been initially embarrassed to ship them there's so much to love :(((( anyway here's my SHITTY ART of these people i HATE i'm so EMBARRASSED thanks for putting up with me in my SHAME CORNER UGH i'm so EMBARRASSED they're so EMBARRASSING i SUCK they SUCK it all SUCKS" LOL and i do mean it in a joking manner... mostly... but i'm kind of now at the point where i'm like. Okay well you're going to have to put in some more legwork if you want people to talk about them. (but, again, just the fact that people talk about and support them enough is so great! it's so weird and wonderful to me that people are calling it on dafpork on platforms other than this one, people who may not know i exist... it's cool hearing a term you and your friend came up with in a private discord be used, it shows how much growth there HAS been since there really used to be nothing!)

a dafpork speakeasy sounds so cool though oh my god can you imagine Porky and Daffy themed cocktails...............

COME JOIN US AT THE DAFPORK SPEAKEASY. which, you are not supposed to advertise that a speakeasy is a speakeasy. but it's subversive. like Daffy. or something. this is your sign to play pig and duck with us. yes you

horror movie set on the prairie once again immediately ruined by a lack of historical research into A. the sort of houses that would be out there and B. the protections they'd have with those houses that would keep wolves and other creatures out.

Like, first off, where is the sod house that would be accurate to this time period? And two, I know there's meant to be a supernatural aspect at some point (per the redditors who recc'd this) but like. Those are normal wolves; nothing has been established other than a poor initial storyline with acting that is...acting because it occurred on camera and I can tell they did their best. They're clearly trying and that's good of them bc the dialogue and overall plot aren't helping so they've got a Task on their shoulders (carrying this movie as best they can.)

Now randomly thinking of the episode "The Death of Eric Cartman" when Butters is convinced and says he sees dead people. But I mean he's not wrong. Butters has in fact seen at least one dead person. They've all seen one dead person. He stands right next to them quite often. glances at Kenny. XD

the fact that the us government can continue funding and arming a genocide despite massive public opposition really highlights how inherently non-democratic the united states is

I think the most hilarious place to put Post-Canon Sokka would have been the university at Ba Sing Se. I think he would have made a great unhinged professor. Also, in true Sokka fashion, he should have completely dodged fame. Momo is more famous than he is.

He wants to demonstrate to the class how this thing called electricity works, so he's going to be bringing in a Firebender, so everybody be cool, we're all friends here... and in walks Princess Azula of the Fire Nation. One-time conqueror of the city. One of the students is currently writing an essay on how her brief rule of the city affected fruit trade. She says she considers the class to still be her subjects as she doesn't acknowledge any pretenders to any of her thrones, but for now you're exempted from bowing and "Your Highness" will do. It's a really interesting lecture.

"Okay, guys - hey, listen up, everyone - I won't be here next week, me and Aang are going to-" yeah right, sure, Professor Sokka knows the Avatar. Except, of course, the Avatar walks in sheepishly and says that Appa might have gotten into Sokka's hybrid crops, and then you all have to sit there and watch your professor chase the Avatar around with a sword.

One postgrad student is specializing in Water Tribe Cultures. She's currently studying the massive cultural shift that happened in the Northern Water Tribe at the end of the war - oh, and Professor, I absolutely know that you're from the Southern Water Tribe, but it's just that the shift started with Master Katara, and of course I don't think that every person from the South knows one another haha it's just that I need to ask her some questions and I thought maybe you could help me write a letter or write a letter of introduction or...

Sokka looks at her blankly and goes "yeah, she's my sister. KATARA!" which is followed by a faint answering "fuck you!" from Somewhere and to the horror/elation of our postgrad, Master Katara bursts in and is promptly beaned in the head with a rock by Professor Sokka. Her brother. her hero and her professor are siblings and currently brawling on the floor.

Sokka does not teach or study history, but he does sometimes sit in on lectures about recent history. Whenever he does, several doctoral students flock in to sit near him (even if it's an intro course) so that they can eavesdrop on his grumbling. (No matter how they try, an "overheard utterance" is not a valid source according to their professors. No, we have no sources on the Avatar's bison taking part in combat - sky bison are not war animals and...)

He gets regular deliveries with the Beifong family crest on them, and he goes "sweet, Toph must have found some new minerals" and at this point nobody needs to ask which Toph. He seems to have friends everywhere, literally everywhere. Wang was headed out to this massive swamp to study if it's one big organism, and Sokka told him to find some guy named Hue and "don't mind the loincloth." One time the university gets shut down because the Earth King wants to visit. Oh, visit the University? What an honor- Of fucking course not, he wants to visit Professor Sokka, who yells at him and his royal guards for interrupting his day. The Earth King and his many, many royal guards then sheepishly say sorry and file out.

The last straw is when - not a week after he yelled at the Earth King - the assistant head of the Political Science dept walks in to the faculty lounge to find Sokka having tea with a nice normal man dressed in Earth greens for once, and can't resist a little joke. "Let me guess, you're having tea with the Fire Lord." And then she can instantly tell that she fucked up, because both of them go stock still.

So when the two men awkwardly stand up and proceed to introduce the Fire Lord whose portrait she has in her office because she is the assistant head of Political Science as Li, a server at the Jasmine Dragon, she just says "hello Li" and leaves to find a bottle of something strong.
