[disclaimer. this post was from a handful of months ago but it prob still applies. it’s also pretty angry!! sorry abt that lol. i do realize that most people doing this aren’t aware or trying to be malicious. it’s kind of a rant post. originally i wasn’t gonna post it but my mutual said i should lol. anyway here it is]

okay the cross tagging in the tua fandom has gotten way out of hand. i’m just really frustrated right now because this is ridiculous. if you want someone to see your post, tag it correctly. don’t add a bunch of random fandom related tags about characters that aren’t even mentioned just so you can get more notes.

there is actually a Reason for this alright? it’s not just rules for the sake of rules. when you tag in an unrelated tag, it clogs it up with posts that aren’t related (stay w me here). so if someone’s looking through their favorite character’s tag they don’t want to see a random incorrect quote in the general fandom NOT EVEN MENTIONING THE CHARACTER. when it gets really intense, it’s difficult to even find posts that mention the character (cough cough the ben hargreeves tag cough cough)

tagging is an organization system that helps people find stuff. you are making it ineffective and frustrating to use by crosstagging. please stop.

pls do not:

-tag “character a” in a post about “character b” and “character c” because they are all in the same show/book/video game etc

-tag an incorrect quotes post with every character in the fandom. (you know who you are. yes i’m targeting iq acc’s because they do this A LOT but lots of ppl do it!!)

-tag a general post about tua with the characters (this one has nuance, like many other things in the world. just use your best judgement like i trust you!!!)

also usually i wouldn’t tag a fandom post about fictional characters with the actors that play them??? like it would have to be a v specific situation so idk why people do this. you are not writing analysis of emmy raver lampman?? hello??

anyway lmk if you have any more tips. i’m not the tagging police (ACAB) so take everything i say with a grain of salt because i am not the ruler of the tua fandom or tumblr! i’m just seeing a problem in this community that i know other people are bothered by. alr live your life just be considerate of other ppl while ur doing ur thing 👍

it’s really not something that you have to obsess or worry about whether you’re doing it just keep it in mind!!!

tldr: use tagging as a filtering tool- not a way to get more engagement

reasons you should read rise of kyoshi

because i finished it last night and am still reeling

kyoshi!! ngl she might be competing with korra for my favorite avatar now. your perception of her COMPLETELY changes in relation to what you get in atla/how the fandom portrays her

wlw relationship and actual bi rep ! my bi QUEEN her relationship w rangi is so sweet and so genuine and they both are each others soft spot and if that isn’t love idk what is

it’s an incredible story. nickelodeon would never like it gets Very Dark but it explains a lot of why kyoshi is the way she is 

her parents! where did she come from! how did she find out she’s the avatar! it’s WACK (did you know that after kuruk died they didn’t find the avatar for seven years and then had the wrong person for nine more like i didn’t know that that’s crazy to me)

the origin of her makeup and fans is also SO COOL

you see where she gets her only justice will bring peace thing! and it sneaks up on you there’s a shift in her that you don’t realize until too late

she is led PURELY by emotion. every single one of her actions is raw emotion and that’s just so crazy to me because i didn’t even think of her like that until this book

there’s a sequel! have not read it yet but i’m going to because it ended on a CLIFFHANGER but yea

also she gives a whole new meaning to that quote that’s like “what an honor what a tragedy” (i can’t find it if someone can pls lmk) but she chooses, halfway through the book, to be that ruthless avatar. she says if people are going to make her that and if this is the life she is given then she will take it and boy if she isn’t ruthless

also! just a supercool fun fact the first time she bends something that isn’t earth it’s because she breaths fire and if that isn’t a reason enough than idk what to tell you

also kyoshi is so whipped by rangi i love it and rangi knows it

moral of the story READ IT. i loved it.
