How did you end up with a wedding dress with pockets??
Here's what happened:
I decided that a dress is a dress and I am wearing it once, I am going to the discount dress shop and buying one that is half decent. bish bash bosh maximum £500
Went to three different outlets and tried on 50+ dresses and not one of them fit the criteria of "wouldn't mind being photographed in this"
Decided go to an actual bridal shop that is not wildly expensive to see 'is it all dresses and I should lower my standards?' or 'there is an actual reason these cost more'
Go in and select 5 lacey, art deco, heavily beaded slim fit fishtail dresses, the kind my Pinterest board is filled with
My mother selects what can only be described as a behemoth of unembellished satin. It is double the total fabric of the 5 dresses I am holding.
I thought she was holding it up as a joke, but she goes "I think it will really behoof the wearer" BEHOOF
There is no space in the changing room with this monster in there so I decided to try it on first so the immediate rejection will clear up much needed spanx wiggling-into space.
Unfortunately, and to my mothers eternal smugness, I am behoofed.
It has the most ridiculously pleated puffy waistline that should not work, and i quip to the seamstress that they "could probably hide pockets in there, can they add pockets? I've always loved a dress with pockets"
And she only hears the last part and goes "ah yes and now you have them in your wedding dress!"
And I go ????!?
And she very politely fishes in the 400 folds to find the in seam hidden pockets
I run to the changing room to test they do indeed hold my full phone and put a deposit on it immediately
My mother was so smug she bought the dress.

re: tim word of godding tommy’s age, i feel like we’ve all been approaching this from the pov of making tommy’s age fit the timeline, and ignoring that if tim & co want him to be 40 they can absolutely just slide the timeline around to accommodate that.
like sure, maybe the karaoke bar fire happens in 2005, but whose to say that’s actually when chimney started at the 118? what if he missed the recruitment window that year and it was early ‘07 by the time he was a probie?
is it still a little hand wavy as far as retcons go? sure, but buck also somehow aged ~3 years between s6 and 7, i.e the same amount of time it took bathena to go on half a vacation so in the grand scheme of things 🤷♀️.

I think one thing saki is super thankful of wxs for is occupying tsukasa’s time so he spends less time working himself up & having neurotic little fits thinking she’s in trouble. like make no mistake she loves her brother & finds his bizarre behavior endearing rather than embarrassing (for the most part) (& he’s not grossly overprotective in a way that limits what she wants to do. Thank god.) but also this is the man who charged into a haunted house bc he heard her scream and ran home in a panic because he found out she lied about her plans for the day. Now he has other outlets for his insanity besides worrying about her. Like worrying about being exploded into orbit.

Since we don't know exactly when sokka died, I'm gonna choose to believe that he lived long enough to meet jinora.
Even if he died when she was a baby/toddler and she doesn't remember him, I'd just like to think he met his great niece.
Him seeing the major resemblence between jinora and aang and joking that jinora might be the reincarnation of aang instead of korra
