“Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others. If you have that awareness, you have good manners, no matter what fork you use.”

— Emily Post (1872-1960) American author, columnist

I don't think I've seen anybody talk about how absolutely insane The Boiling Rock is from Hakoda's perspective.

Imagine getting captured, and your son tells you that you won't be apart for too long. That's sweet, but obviously your son has no resources to spare for organizing a breakout. You hope that the Avatar can defeat the Fire Lord soon - that's the earliest time you could hope to be rescued.

You get put into a temporary holding facility until the guards can sort out who is who. After a while, they put you on a prisoner transport to the Boiling Rock. Your captors try to intimidate you by telling you that it's the highest security prison in the Fire Nation, probably the whole world. It's far away from the capital.

You arrive at the Boiling Rock. It really is in the middle of a boiling lake. There's only one way in or out, and it's a gondola that takes you above the boiling lake. You meet the warden. They take you to your cell. You settle down to wait for the end of the war.

And 15 minutes later Sokka comes in like "hey dad I'm here I got the prince of the Fire Nation and an Earth Kingdom ninja leader gf ok let's go I'm busting you out"

The problem with AO3 is that every online store's search function is bullshit by comparison

We aren’t talking enough about how Daisuke not only killed Goldbeard, but also already spent all of his gold.

true tragedy of star wars: the clone wars (2008–2014; 2020) was that it did not have a beach episode.* padmé wants a well-deserved long weekend vacay at a beach and she and anakin are absolutely desperate to turn this into Romantic Beach Getaway so anakin manufactures some nonsense about "a threat to senator amidala's life on the planet of amalfeekoast while the senator Negotiates a treaty (at the tiki bar)!!!" so he can go along but it works a lil too well and so now an entire battalion is going, plus obi-wan and ahsoka. and so now padmé's wearing designer space bikinis on glistening white sand beaches while anakin and the gang are in their standard jedi order-issued swimsuits (seen below: design has to be approved by yoda, has not been updated in two hundred years, all the stripes are different shades of beige). padmé is trying to convince obi-wan that beach volleyball is definitely part of negotiations while anakin angrily grills shrimp on the barbecue and ahsoka is menacing everybody with a squirt gun. a giant sea snake attacks at one point and the jedi miserably fail at trying to kill it before it gets eaten by an even larger octopus. anakin and padmé almost get to have time in the honeymoon suite when the roof of the hotel gets blown off by the confederacy because actually the sea snake was an agent of dooku's. roll credits. next three episodes are about the perils of maritime engagements and ethics of guerilla warfare.

*do NOT try and tell me that the Water War episode was a beach episode, beach episodes are about the BEACH and summer fun, NOT about underwater politics while wearing scuba gear. there wasn't even a beach umbrella, c'mon now
