Special request: Can someone please help me find a gif of Goliath from Gargoyles saying "Of course."

I know he says it during The Gathering arc when he wakes up after getting hit by the tranq dart and Elisa is surprised to find that he wakes up totally fine.

I can't find a pre-existing one and know someone on Tumblr can help me.

Wolverine would burn up like a demon at church if he stepped foot in a gay club but can you imagine how wild they would be for him.

crying and sobbing y'all when people said that you only add scenes that advance the plot they didn't JUST mean the overarching plot. they meant the plot of the book... entirely. like a conversation between two friends can advance the plot by characterizing them and grounding them with a meaningful relationship. if your book doesn't have "filler" it's missing emotional beats. which are plot. which are important. fun and whimsy aren't mutually exclusive from what "needs" to happen in your book. the advice isn't bad it's just taken too literally stop come back.

I think one of the kindest things you can do for people with various mental health struggles is just... let people back into your life after they've been absent for a while.

Making friends as an adult is so fucking hard already and isolating yourself from other people is a very common symptom of depression, anxiety, burnout, ocd, trauma, grief, etc. Which means that someone will do the hard work of recovery/healing and resurface back into a world where their previous friends have written them off because they stopped showing up.

So if you know someone where you're like "yeah we could have been better friends but they fell off the map a bit" and that person suddenly reaches out, or starts showing up to events even though you kind of forgot they were still in the group chat... well they may have been Going Through It and you don't actually have to punish them for their absence you can just be glad that they're back.

i love the notion that the reason zuko hates iroh's tea so much is because iroh is giving him medicinal tea that tastes fucking nasty for his chronic pain and then like. borderline gaslighting him about it by being like "what...???? no........ this is just jasmine........ your favorite" and zuko, who is even more susceptible to being manipulated than the average person, is just like "omg wow jasmine tea tastes way worse than it did when i was a kid..... maybe tea is really gross and i am simply misremembering having a fondness for it as a child???" and then they go work in a tea shop and zuko starts drinking normal tea again so that he can recommend different blends to customers and he’s just like "holy shit why does this hot leaf juice actually taste good." and he somehow never figures out what his uncle was doing he simply thinks that he is going crazy. which is also true

it is so wild to me when people act like the fire nation isn't sexist because azula's girl squad is badass when azula mai and ty lee are all such perfect representations of women living under sexism. azula is the only woman in ozai's war room, and she is a smarter strategist and a more powerful firebender than the high-ranking men we see (e.g. zhao). the implication is that she has to be the absolute best to get a seat at that table. mai is treated as a prop for her father's political ambition, raised to stay quiet and out of trouble in a way that reeks of women being expected to be compliant in service of men. she's bored and checked out and has trouble expressing her feelings because she's so used to not being allowed to express anything. ty lee grows up lost in the shuffle, desperate for attention, desperate to please and contort herself into a shape that people find appealing, and that manifests as making herself into a stereotypical girly-girl, making herself seem inoffensive and non-threatening by playing on sexist stereotypes.

azula's perfectionism, mai's detachment, and ty lee's girly persona are all ways in which women react to and adapt to living in a sexist society. they overachieve to try to break the barriers, they check out emotionally, they learn to play the role people expect. azula and her girl squad are powerful women certainly but they are absolutely women living under sexism
