Breaking my silence

I DON'T hate Maddie 😭😭

I know that's and unpopular opinion around here but she honestly didn't do anything wrong, and let's say you think, "she got with Cait when she knew she had something with vi," wouldn't Cait be more at fault?

And I hate to be the friend that's too woke, but Cait is her boss, sure she was in a bad mental state but I'm seeing a lot of people saying Maddie manipulated her...mmm I don't know, that feels a bit off to me. It was a power imbalance, I don't know their ages, but maddie seems a lot more...I wont say younger, but youthful? Naive even?

At the end of the day Cait is her boss in a position of power and she shouldn't have been engaging in those relationships. And now, I feel really bad for Maddie because we know Cait will get back together with Vi and imagine how Maddie will feel? She won't be happy or excited— she'll be absolutely torn apart. No one deserves to feel important, or special and have that all go away in an instant just because Cait felt sad about abandoning her complicated relationship.

But again, maybe I'm reading into it. Maddie seemed like she really liked cait, and I'll be honest Cait didn't seem that into her, but this was a recurring thing with the lines, "I'll come back to bed," and Ambessa saying something along the lines of, "I'm seeing you(Maddie)around here a lot recently," so Cait didn't make a mistake—you can't make the same mistake more than once.

I'm not sure how vi will react to it, technically they weren't even together so I'm not talking about how she'd feel, I'm talking more about Maddie not only as a character, but a person in the arcane world.

I get it, she tore up your favorite ship, but that's only because Cait allowed her to. Some of you guys are hurt and don't want to admit the fact that Cait is more at fault than Maddie. She's not a homewrecker, or any demeaning name for sleeping with her boss. I think simply put, she really liked Cait. She wasn't in a healthy relationship dynamic, and it's a shame that some of you guys, and Cait doesn't seem to care.

Heavy on the, 'everyone was trying to understand Caitlyn and give the benefit of the doubt.'

You all are BEGGING people to understand Caitlyn and give her nuance to her gassing people bc her mom died but cannot spare a tiny bit of nuance for Jayce it’s insane.

What he did was extreme and I don’t like it at all but IMAGINE WHAT HE SAW THAT MADE HIM DO THAT TO VIKTOR, WHO A YEAR EARLIER HE FUCKING SAVED IMPULSIVELY AND OUT OF DESPERATION. Viktor mentions something about another will at work inside jayce a singularity, self replicating and self annihilating, which is a big hint to alternate timelines imo.

Also, I have to fucking point out bc everyone thinks the hippie happy community was always going to be okay. The commune was always DOOMED, Singed pointed it out to Viktor. These are shells of people they’re not exactly the same as they were before, as soon as Vik’s power ran out the people would go down, it wasn’t sunshine and rainbows, these innocents thought they could be healed forever and now their essence is tied to Viktor’s existence and whatever cosmic thing is going on. Plus it was going to go down with Singed and Ambessa outside anyway.

What Jayce did was insane and awful but it’s not without nuance.

[my-hi-universe]

jayce is right tbh

Unpopular opinion but given that Viktor's 'glorious evolution' turned everyone he 'healed' into mind-whammed zombies bonded to him through a corrupted cult-like symbiosis to the point where most of them seem to have become extensions of his will (which is why they all shut down when he gets shot, like are they even alive or anything anymore?) -- I am not sure why we should see his version of the 'dream' in a purely positive light.

We don't know what Jayce saw in whatever future or alternate dimension he was in. But I DO NOT judge him harshly at all for trying to kill Viktor in his effort to defend tomorrow.

That commune was frankly creepy and felt like a twisted perversion of what Ekko and the firelights managed to create all on their own without messing up the arcane to do it.

Guys I'm honestly not gay but I'm not blind either.

Also 😲

LIKE c'mon 😩😩 what do y'all expect from me I'm just a girl 😞

I see cool attractive people and I cant tell the difference between, "omg I wanna be them" and "omg I wanna be WITH them"

And DON'T get me started on Ambessa

(Is this normal help)

With the new atla series out I'm seeing a lot of zutara and kataang beef again annnnnnd aghhhh.

As someone who thinks both are fine, here are how I see both sides.

For kataang antis...I think you guys call them that? Idk, but for them, they say Aang is like a little kid and they mention the age gap all the time. But in the original show, Zuko and Katara have the same age gap so frankly that just doesn't work 😭 not to totally disregard that take though because I know fourteen year old me would not date a twelve year old, but I think some of y'all are pushing it. ESPECIALLY when y'all start mentioning the family dynamics like, "Aww a big sister and a little brother," liiike....now y'all are being annoying 😭😭

But some zutara antis are saying they feel that zutara is a self insert and....no, like I'm sorry but that's just a cop out 😭 like if you don't like the ship then just say that but this is a stupid reason for that, because it's just not true😭.

As someone who shipped byler when I was like eleven, I know how it feels to be called delusional 💀 but one thing I just won't stand behind is see y'all call zutara shippers delusional like everything for that ship wasn't there. Red and blue, zuko getting struck by lighting, the enemies to lovers. Everything was there! I think the downside of that is some zutara shippers are saying that that's proof for the ship which it obviously isn't.

But at the end of the day it's whoever Katara chooses, which in this case was Aang. I just don't see how this became a whole war....again, like? Be normal??

Edit:

I know I kinda said this up above with the Katara is a self insert, but I think I need to get more in depth because now I keep seeing it.

Because it is actually pissing me off when kataangs say, "people just ship zutara because they wanna live their fantasies out through Katara,".....ummm no?? 😭😭 Like maybe people ship zutara because Zuko and Katara are cute together?? Especially since kataang was supposedly an insert ship 😭😭?? The call is coming from inside the house💀 but even if that was the case wouldn't they just ship the cannon ship zumai...?

But it makes me mad because it totally disregards Katara as a character and just dumbing her down to a self insert, y/n type girl when nooo she is her own character.

One last thing is I was alwayyyys a sokka girl. I don't know why, I just liked the goofy blue type. Kinda like Voltron, everyone liked Keith but I was rocking with lance😭 the only time I like the red character over the blue was in TMNT 2012 version but anyways. What I'm saying is I never saw a zutara fan art and went,"sigh, I wish that was me🥺🥺" umm no💀

[my-hi-universe]

I REFUSE to let the Internet ruin this show for me 😭😭 I completely understand complaints. OF course there are gonna be complaints. This is a live action re make of a beloved show. But I don't think it's that bad??

Let me rephrase.

It's not bad at all. Like actually. Of course it looks beautiful and I think Zuko and Iroh actually DEVOURED I mean DEVOUREDDDDDD I was so close to crying so many times.

But I truly believe a lot of you came into this expecting the exact same show you watched when you were twelve, thirteen, fourteen and so on. Unfortunately it's not and It's never going to be and it's your fault for thinking that it would be.

Yes there are major character changes that a lot of people like or don't like AND OF COURSE YOUR OPINIONS ARE VALIIIIID but...idk I just.

The point I'm trying to make is, if you enjoyed this show, please know you're not the only one. It can be easy to look on the Internet and go," mmm maybe it wasn't really as good as I thought." But if it did something for you, if you felt something from it, then unfortunately I frankly could care less about what people have to say which makes this whole post irrelevant and I just came to this conclusion as I was writing this so yeah I'm currently in play rehearsal right now. Ummm ok.

[my-hi-universe]

Y'all, I know you heard this ten different times, from ten different people, from ten different apps, but y'all will HATE me when the Percy Jackson show comes out on Wednesday, I just can't stoppppp I'm addicted and it hasn't even come out yet 😭

Some of my writer’s block cures:

Handwrite. (If you already are, write in a different coloured pen.)

Write outside or at a different location.

Read.

Look up some writing prompts.

Take a break. Do something different. Comeback to it later.

Write something else. (A different WIP, a poem, a quick short story, etc.)

Find inspiring writing music playlists on YouTube. (Themed music, POV playlists, ambient music, etc.)

Do some character or story prompts/questions to get a better idea of who or what you’re writing.

Word sprints. Set a timer and write as much as you can. Not a lot of time to overthink things.

Set your own goals and deadlines.

Write another scene from your WIP. (You don’t have to write in order.) Write a scene you want to write, or the ending. (You can change it or scrap it if it doesn’t fit into your story later.)

Write a scene for your WIP that you will never post/add to your story. A prologue, a different P.O.V., how your characters would react in a situation that’s not in your story, a flashback, etc.

Write down a bunch of ideas. Things that could happen, thing that will never happen, good things, bad things.

Change the weather (in the story of course.)

Feel free to add your own.

Guys, I am shakingggg right now😭

I think I had just turned 14 when I first read Percy Jackson which was a year ago so I'm a pretty late bloomer, but I still fell in love with it anyways. Loved Rick's writing style and I still think the first page of Percy Jackson is one of the best first page ever created.

So having said that I was 14 when I found out a black girl would be playing Annabeth, Leah and I screameddd and shouted. I showed my family that had no idea what I was talking about and I was like,"look, this girl is playing Annabeth!" And they couldn't care less because they didn't see that history has just been made.

I feel like I'm just now realizing that too. Leah is only one year younger than me, but like I feel like Leah is me, Annabeth is me and I don't even know why. I just know that this was something that only happened to me whenever I saw Clawdeen from Monster High or Sasha from the Bratz. But now little girls are gonna see it through Leah.

People really underestimate representation but right now on December 20th I'm going to watch this show knowing that my type of hair is going to be called, 'princess hair.' and that's already a big step for me.

Also Leah is sooo pretty
