It's such a relief after not vibing with the cast of a season of Taskmaster to start another and immediately fall in love with the new guys because it's just. It's a reassurance that no, the show hasn't gotten bad, I'm not bored with it- it was mostly just a matter of incompatible humor and now I'm back to enjoying the show at full power and it's great!

What a wonderful piece of media! Surely the fandom will be literate and normal

season 2 of atla is so good because you’ll watch an episode and it’ll be like -

A plot: aang learns to stand his ground in order to begin earth bending

B plot: zuko screams at god to strike him down with lightning

C plot: sokka is stuck in a hole

tangled gave us so much, but mostly it gave us the beautiful and intense love of a horse and the man he is chasing in order to imprison

I think one of the reasons I like Zuko's redemption arc is because it doesn't all happen in clean cuts such as "evil-progression-backslide-redemption". He held the status of "fully a good guy" for like, 4 episodes at the end of the show, if his entire redemption was crammed just there, he would have been this "new version of himself" too short and it would have been jarring. Instead he demonstrates changed attitudes gradually, even before he sides back with Azula. Basically the last thing to change is just his allegiance.

When he goes on a date with Jin, he's already relaxed enough to not puff himself up, instead feeling okay with looking foolish. When he's with Katara in the Crystal Catacombs, he's already tempered enough to not instantly explode in rage and screaming at her accusations (instead just rebutting by saying she doesn't know what she's talking about). In the War meeting, he's already on the side of the Earth Kingdom citizens, just scared down to his bones from his father, Azula and other generals contributing to this fear as well.

You get the point. Not only did he show his true core positive personality traits and attitudes he always had even back in season 1, they gradually develop back and reveal themselves fully as time goes, not artificially in sections, but in waves.

Easter egg for office workers: if you go onto Excel and press ctrl+left, then ctrl+down, you will reach cell XFD1048576. If you put a dot in there, then ctrl+A and fill every cell in black, you can then print 34 million black pages from your office printer and get fired

Yesterday I saw that Taskmaster was trending alongside Jason Mantzoukas (whom I loved in everything I saw him in) and it intrigued me- I was vaguely aware that Taskmaster was a thing, but not exactly what it was or where I could watch it and?? Apparently since 2015 it's had 19 seasons??? And they're all on YouTube??? And it's funny as fuck??? Why did no one tell me how much Taskmaster rules before!!! Oh well thank you Tumblr trending now I have 18 seasons (already done with season 1) of something excellent to watch for the next while

apparently there was a furry ero-manga artist in the 90s whose pen name was Trump, so images like this now exist

I’d like to think Claudine did the “non non” thing to Karen once and she thought it was so cool she kept mimicking it over and over again to the point it became her catchphrase and now Claudine has to deal with underclassman being like “OMG you did Aijou-senpai’s thing!” And she just has to live with that since like it’d be so petty and lame to bring up that actually she was the one who did it first

Bloodbending itself also had such a brief presence in ATLA and wasn't really even that much of an issue and it's maddening to me that they brought it back in LOK just to ban it, further reinforcing "Hama and everything about her was evil" when like. No? Her actions were deplorable but the situation and her methods were much more nuanced than the show gave it credit for. Bloodbending isn't inherently bad, Hama invented it to save herself ffs, the torturing innocents part actually came later! It has just as much potential as a defensive art as any other bending! Not to mention the aspect that's often talked about in fan circles but completely ignored by canon- the fucking medical applications it could hold???

Hama as a character was done so so dirty- they should've given her a chance to repent and heal away from her captors! But the writers also decided that her entire fucking legacy was painted as evil which is just. So fucked imo. Hama is such an interesting character but she was relegated to a villain of the week when she had the potential to be so much more involved in so many interesting conversations and I think it's a shame

Haha do you guys ever think about the fact that Atla had an episode in which Hama, a woman who after decades of imprisonment in terrible, inhuman conditions, comes out cruel and lashes out in any-which-way she can, and is treated and defeated as a villain (which, ok, she was, and that was fair) but then after gets sentenced to live out the rest of her life imprisoned by the same people as the first time?

Hahaha do you guys ever think about how fucking easy it would’ve been to add 10-15 seconds to the episode in which Katara goes: “When this is all over, I’m coming for you and taking you home“? Thereby displaying mercy? Which would later play into how she handles Yon Rha?

Hahahaha do you guys ever think about how much that would’ve meant for Katara’s character arc, but also how it would’ve enriched the overall story?

Hahahahaha do you guys ever think about how the comparison that should’ve been made in “The Southern Raiders” is, “Katara you sound like Hama,“ not “like Jet”?* How much more sense it would’ve made to brig up Hama at that point, you know, Katara’s mentor who taught her bloodbending? Instead of her one-time-now-dead crush?

*Not getting into how neither make sense in the given situation, that’s not what this post is about.

Ahahahahha do you guys ever think about how much more meaningful the Mercy vs. Justice stuff, which “The Southern Raiders” were supposed to be about, would’ve been if Katara had set a precedent with how she handled Hama?

Hahahahhahaha do you guys ever think about how if Hama had remained relevant, if she had actually gotten a chance to go back to the Southern Water Tribe, how that would’ve shaped the course of the story?

Like! Just imagine!! A Southern Master! All of a sudden, there’s a Southern Master at the South Pole! And she isn’t fifteen!

And imagine her and Pakku butting heads over how to teach students, imagine her and Pakku in a bending! Battle! We would’ve gotten an actual comparison between Northern and Southern waterbending!!!

IMAGINE HAMA CALLING THE NORTHERN WATER TRIBE OUT ON THE FACT THAT THEY JOINED THE FIGHTING FIVE MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT!!!!

IMAGINE HAMA RAISING HELL BECAUSE WHERE WERE THEY WHILE THE SOUTHERN TRIBE STILL HAD A CHANCE? AND WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE, COMING HERE NOW AND EXPECTING TO BE WELCOMED?

Plus, like, loose ends: Who was Yon Rha’s source? How did the Southern Raiders find out about Katara? And why to i feel like they were supposed to somehow be a Northerner?

Ahahahhahahahahahahahahahaaha do you guys ever think about how utterly amazing it would’ve been if Hama wasn’t a one-off character with no actual impact on the overarching story??!?!?!!
