#but thank you 💜💜💜

love, every time you disparage yourself for being a normal human being and wanting to share personal thoughts or venting on your own blog, i will harass you to pls embrace your expression and speak instead of treating tumblr like some curated, santized host for content. we like you, it is why we follow you babe.

Ahahah, anon, thank you! 💜💜💜 I'm glad I have the kind of anons who harass with kindness lol

I think it's like... That thing where it's easier to remember all the negative opinions people express than the positive ones, so every time I post something personal I remember everyone who's ever been like 'ugh, I followed this fic author and then it was all these whiny personal posts' or complaining about personal stuff in author's notes (and I'm talking anything remotely personal, not like explicit details of their life or whatever) and sometimes it starts to feel like people don't want to remember authors (or artists or whoever) in fandom are people or something or that fandom is a community. (I hope this doesn’t come across wrong! Like I said in my first edit, people are totally entitled to not want to read personal posts—I’m mainly thinking of the people who have said they wish authors wouldn’t make them at all)

And maybe it's that thing where people come to something with how they use it (tumblr) or interact with it (fandom at large) and, even if it's not consciously, they then think anyone doing it differently is 'wrong' and it’s just a matter of conflicting styles and I don't know where I'm going with this haha

I've gone off on a tangent instead of just thanking you for your kindness and reassurance lol

But yeah, it's easier to remember that stuff, instead of going, well, okay, how about the people who stick around, and the ones who don't mind the personal posts, or maybe even like them!

Edited to add: I do want to say that I don’t think people are wrong for not wanting to read personal posts! It’s just that’s where my concern comes from when I post anything personal

Do you guys ever think how Zuko is the only person who proves Katara that he won't leave her again?

Katara has abandonment issues. That's why she was so angry at Hakoda when they saw each other again, that's why she became so anxious when they had to separate, that's why she lashes out at Zuko himself, bringing up her mother's death. It's implied throughout the series that she has been abandoned physically and emotionally by the people she held dear.

Of course, Hakoda acknowledges and apologizes, but we don't see him making the effort to show Katara that he won't make her feel that way again—(which is probably due to the pacing of the story, although it's still a poor writing choice, but I digress).

But we see Zuko making an effort.

After betraying her, he is determined to make it up to her by any means. Even when she is openly hostile to him, he remains respectful and protective of her. He is constantly showing kind and heroic gestures. He goes out of his way for it in TSR to help her confront her feelings of grief and resentment, and saves her life yet again during Sozin's Comet. He expresses he has her best interest at heart through words and actions.

Thinking about all of that makes their relationship and personal character journey even more beautiful.

Overwhelmed by sorrow, he sank to his knees, his heart unraveling as a storm of dark unbidden tears poured freely. His heartbroken sobs reverberated through the cold, shadowed walls of the chapel.

I am so sorry! I just can't leave poor Frater Imperator in peace!😫

Is it weird to say that his melancholy is somehow very beautiful to me? There's something about it that grabs me, I don't know.🥺

I just love to express his sadness (loneliness?) a little more intensely!😭💜

I hope you like it!💜

There are actually 26 of you, same number as in the crowd. That wasn't on purpose. We weren't counting as we were drawing. Just worked out that way lol.
