i love when the vks and Ben get into the cottage, and they hear Chad banging on the door, Harry follows Ben to the closest door, he positions himself behind Ben to defend Ben if necessary.

its the little things (aka D3 Harry mini analysis)

like here, when Ben goes to look inside the closet, you can see Harry sliding into place, Harry does this before anyone else

Jay doesnt move, Carlos doesnt move, Mal doesnt even try to tell Ben not to open it, but Harry HARRY, Mr i wanna hook the king, is the first to step up and be at Ben’s back, to protect him.

and then when both Ben and Harry see its chad, someone who isnt a threat (supposedly) Harry relaxes, he straightens up from his attack stance, Ben has acknowledged Chad isnt a threat (with how Ben’s body relaxes and how calmly he responds to chad) and so Harry relaxes

so Harry goes from protect/attack mode to passive protect. he stays at Ben’s back, keeping his eyes on chad just in case, he stands there in a way that tells me “make one wrong move and i will hurt you”

like LOOK AT HOW BIG HARRY LOOKS COMPARED TO CHAD AND BEN, i know its forced perspective, but Harry looks fucking massive, he is a guard, a right hand man, a protector. his head is tilted down to give that menacing stare, his arms are ready to grab or hit, his legs are ready to launch himself to protect. at this point, for all we know, Harry is still meh about Ben, but he knows Ben is going to let them stay, he has to, they are helping save Auradon. and he knows Uma now sees Ben as an allay, so Harry protects him, he protects everyone.

Harry doesn’t lose this protective stance until Chad rushes out of the house and Ben walks past, Harry fully relaxes, he laughs, he turns his eyes away, and he closes the door. 

but Harry is the last one out of the house, he stays back, he is still the protector, he keeps his eyes on everyone to make sure everyone is safe, he looks behind to check the cottage again, to check on carlos, he looks at everyone, he keeps his eyes on Uma the longest, Harry is a protector and i love that about him. (also he does a lil flip with his hook that ive somehow never noticed and omfg you cutie pie i love you)

god Thomas does such a damn good job all this from simple body acting.

Selected Excerpts From The Fire Nation Royal Palace Servants' (Unofficial) Handbook

Or: Revisions To Normal Protocol After The Ascension Of Agni's Exalted Flame, The Dragon Of The Sun, et cetera, Fire Lord Zuko

1. Agni's Exalted Flame, The Dragon Of The Sun, et cetera, Fire Lord Zuko should not be referred to by his full titles and styles, no matter the context. This appears to annoy him. "Fire Lord Zuko" and "Lord Zuko" are acceptable, as well as "your majesty" and "my Lord".

1.1 "Lord Hotman", however, is unacceptable.

1.2. Even if the Avatar specifically requests you to address Fire Lord Zuko as that.

1.3. In fact, any attempts by the Avatar, the Lady Beifong, the honorable Tribesman Sokka or even Master Katara to get you to address Fire Lord Zuko by anything other than his proper title should be disregarded.

1.4. Referring to Ozai of the Fire Nation (titles rmvd, dishon.) as "The Loser Lord", however, is acceptable.

2. Fire Lord Zuko is aware of the concept of mortality, but does not seem to understand how it relates to His Majesty. Following activities should be discouraged: Free climbing, glider usage, contact with exotic animals larger than a turtleduck (or smaller, if the animal is known to be venomous), amateur theatre productions, cooking, sailing, spelunking, botany, please see full list in the Matron's office.

2.1. It should be noted that His Majesty's belief that mortality does not apply to him does not appear to be completely unfounded. After several "close calls", it has been decided that upon his demise, Fire Lord Zuko should lie in state for at least two weeks.

2.1.1. We do not want another incident.

3. The turtleducks in the Western Pond do not need to be fed by the servants any more.

3.1. However, the turtleducks should be rotated out at regular intervals in order to prevent overfeeding.

4. At any official social functions, at least three servants should be vigilant in case His Majesty tries to tell a joke.

4.1. It should be noted that there is no concern for His Majesty's jokes being offensive, crass or otherwise contrary to good taste. They are simply very bad. His Majesty always ends up embarrassed.

5. Any children left unattended in the Royal Palace for more than 15 degrees can be retrieved from the Fire Lord's office.

6. Should His Majesty go missing, the following places should be searched: roofs and any high places, cellars and secret passages, the fur of the Avatar's sky bison (which is surprisingly deep), and every place that an ordinary five-year-old would think to hide in during a game of "Hide and Explode."

6.1. All of the Imperial Firebenders as well as any soldier who wears a mask during the course of their duties should be questioned.

6.1.1. Important note: Some of the soldiers who are especially close to His Majesty can perform a passable imitation of him. Efforts should be made to prevent an uneducated soldier from, say, conducting a meeting with the Minister of Agriculture.

6.2. After the recent incident, that list is expanded to include the Kyoshi Warriors and any other groups that might wear concealing full face paint.

6.3. If all of these measures prove ineffective, a letter should be sent to The Dragon of the West, Prince Iroh, asking His Highness to return His Majesty.

6.4. If a ransom note is delivered, it should be immediately checked against the handwriting samples from the honorable Tribesman Sokka as well as Avatar Aang, before any other actions are taken.

6.4.1. Replying "Good luck, he's your problem now" to a ransom note is absolutely unacceptable.

6.4.1.1. To further drive home the point, the Royal Archives are required by law to preserve every single piece of royal correspondence. That thing will end up in a museum.

This handbook will be updated should it prove necessary.

*and audience with 0% media literacy* apparently

[dani-luminae]

the idea that restrooms, locker rooms, etc need to be single-sex spaces in order for women to be safe is patriarchy's way of signalling to men & boys that society doesn't expect them to behave themselves around women. it is directly antifeminist. it would be antifeminist even if trans people did not exist. a feminist society would demand that women should be safe in all spaces even when there are men there.
