Something Something Avatar The Last Airbender was fundamentally about showing the horrible long-lasting effects of both war and violence in a grand sense (the way people suffer under fire nation occupation including the air nomad genocide and the state of the southern water tribe) but also a personal sense (zukos entire arch) and the show goes to great lengths to avoid glorifying war, often specifically choosing only depict the aftermath of terrible violence while not graphically depicting the violence itself.

And I think it's a profound misunderstanding, maybe even an insult to the source text to continually depict gratuitous death and violence as a focal point of the live action.

the real secret to zuko's redemption arc is the month he spent working in public food service

While he didn't have a plan when he left, just knew that he couldn't keep on living like he had. When he finally found time to explore the 24-hour coffee shop in his neighborhood in East London, he realised that no amount of planing could have prepared him for this. The hot barista not only steals his heart, but also his blood and life, stealing him away into the dark world between blood and coffee.

One issue remains: why is his boyfriend's best friend so unhappy with Stede? Wordcount: 11,321 Link to art masterpost Link to story

Shoutout to the hair and makeup team of OFMD because every time I look at Ed I think "oh yeah there's my best friend Ed Teach" I have literally not once thought "that's Taika in a wig". I'm like Doofenschmirtz. Put that guy in a hat and he's completely unrecognizable except the hat is an exquisite lace-front wig so realistic and seamless it's transformative. Taika who.

Seen some posts about how it's a good idea to watch OFMD with non-fandom people and see what they think. Watched the first three eps with my parents and they had some great takes

My mom was righteously upset that Stede isn't wearing any fun outfits. "He must be so sad!"

She was also really sad that Ed crashed a wedding. "It didn't even look like a fun wedding," I said. "Yeah," she goes, "but what if that happened at my wedding? :((("

My dad said he didn't like the first episode and seemed really anxious the whole time. Upon prompting, it's because he's the biggest Lucius/Pete fan on earth and he was just upset Lucius wasn't there. "No wonder Pete was so grumpy!"

The wedding cake toppers actually made my mom cry. We had to pause the episode.

When Lucius showed up my dad literally jumped out of his chair like he was watching a sports game. I had to spoil them getting married because he would not stop asking me if they get married this season.

The biggest and most surprising thing is how much they, two old straight people, really loved the reunion mermaid scene. I'd been prepared for them to think it was too weird since it is so unapologetically sweet and camp and just queer. They fucking loved it and wouldn't stop talking about it. Just proves that forcing queer content to be sanitized "for the straights" is a pure nonsense.

It's worth pointing out that all the Feeling Himself Faggotry of Stede Bartholomewll Bonnet XV that we see here:

Is missing here:

Because that's Stede putting on the trappings of THE EMBODIMENT of what he left behind.

Of where he doesn't fit.

Of what means harm to his lover and crew and the people he cares about.

It's Stede showing the difference between him and Ricky - the last Stede Bonnet in the knockoff shop....

It's Stede being uncomfortable in that particular skin, no matter how well tailored it should have been for him.

"killing off izzy after he went through all this growth and finally got to be happy means all that healing was for nothing"

goddamn that is a bleak way to look at life. we all die, man. healing is still worth the effort.

When Izzy first walked out I was worried that he would be made into a joke that the crew would laugh at

but then he started singing and the dancing began and I realized that he wasn’t meant to be a joke at all. This is the most open and happy we’ve ever seen Izzy and the show treated it that way. Not mocking him but instead celebrating this moment.

When we talk about queer representation it’s usually just focused on queer relationships, but what I love about this episode is it shows other sides of being queer. That moment where Izzy saw Wee John doing his makeup and had a realization that he wanted that too? That is what being queer means to me. The crew singing along and cheering for him? That is what being apart of the queer community means to me.

What i love about this show is that it shows queer joy, not in a sanitized way, but in away that is messy, beautiful, and without any mockery or shame.

You can tell the ofmd writers really understand queer people by how they show the most repressed and tense motherfucker turning into the queerest queen in town with the help of 5 min of affection and glitter eyebrows
