I was skeptical about the live action of ATLA but after giving it a watch to the end I really ended up liking it. As I am now rewatching the original series, I notice all the differences people were complaining talking about and I kinda understand how they adapted it? Like come on, a book adapted into a movie is gonna be different, so a cartoon series made into a live action is obviously gonna have differences too. I feel like the people who constantly shit on the live action are either haters for no reason or just jumping on the hate train.

If I said that I disliked jax as a character would you guys still love me

[atalana]

me watching sab season 2, just mentally repeating to myself: it's not an adaptation it's high budget fanfiction, it's not an adaptation it's high budget fanfiction

look this will be extremely 2016-core of me to say but. 16 year old me would genuinely cry if she saw dan and phil announcing their gaming channel is back with a video featuring jacksepticeye

Idk if it’s a great idea to headcanon a violent tyrannical borderline fascist character as a trans woman…especially if ur not transfem yourself. Somethin feels off about that.

Not so different

Mud and grit rubbed against his fur and skin uncomfortably in a way that made his skin crawl, the texture was unpleasant for him, though he was thankful he hadn't gotten too much of the mud in his wounds let alone his eyes. He felt his eyelid twitch in discomfort at the thought of it. A wet cloth didn't bring much comfort especially with the cold water it brought but it cleaned him off, slowly but surely.

Her aura flickered faintly in waves and rolls dancing and fading from his psychic sight, he didn't know the name of the color of her shape but it didn't look like the others, it felt fuzzy and softer making him feel a bit more safe and comfortable. The clean water splashed in its bucket as she dipped a new piece of fabric in, wringing it off and wiping away more of the mud he was coated in, the texture of grit on her own fingertips was unpleasant but she continues on, faintly they could hear others talking arguing about something that didn't concern them right now and he'd found he was getting a lot better at tuning out background noises even with his hearing being heightened.

Water droplets slid down his arm falling off of him into the sopping wet ground beneath, Muddy Water had certainly done its job. His head twitched and jerked as he felt a water droplet forming on his temple slowly sliding down to his eye sockets head twitching uncomfortably trying to shake it off, he wanted to paw at his face but his hands were still filthy and being cleaned off he could put grit in his sockets, the thought of a water droplet pooling in his eyes caused his twitching to increase.

He stilled feeling a hand move to his shoulder, water droplet still threateningly moving as his brow furrowed before a dry towel brushed past the side of his face slowly and gently up to his horn, and then it passed over his forehead collecting up the offending water droplet and any more moisture and then against the other side of his face to his horn on that side, his fur still felt moist but the thick droplets of water were gone and his anxiety began to lessen. It was a simple act but, used to having his discomforts being ignored it did bring a rush of relief.

He felt the wet cloth carefully return to cleaning off his arm of the persistent mud, cleaning the back of his hand and fingers. He swallowed quietly in thought, mouth opening and shutting again with barely a hum or croak.

".....tha….aank…" channeling his inner thoughts to be outer thoughts was harder than he had thought it would be, he could feel his temple already beginning to ache from the strain of projecting his speech, "yooouuu," it was something of a breathy exhale despite not being pushed through his lungs, he couldn't even recognise his own voice but it should have been enough. Judging by the stilling of her hand he must have heard her and it wasn't for naught.

Unfortunately he could not see the smile nor the mouthed "you're welcome," before she returned to cleaning off his hand cleaning grit from between his fingers gently. His mouth twitched awkwardly and he felt his eyebrows furrowing as he wondered why she wasn't responding to him, was he not really worth it?

As she cleaned his hand the frown on his face was noticed, as was the subtle attempt to pull his hand away from her wanting to pull away and just dunk the clean water over himself and hope that it got the dirt off and he could be alone. He felt her squeeze his digits gently and he stilled just a little as he frowned to himself before she moved his hand which was strange. He allowed it though. His damp digits made contact with skin. She was warm as she put his fingers carefully to her throat she could feel his knuckles under her chin, he wasn't sure what to make of it until he detected the texture difference.

Without her guide his finger tips traced up and down a small section of her throat feeling over the scarred tissue compared to the unscarred tissue, he stopped on the scar tissue slowly feeling across one way and then feeling across the other feeling the size of the scar. He pulled his hand away slowly and touched his fingertip to his own neck feeling the scarring there before moving to put his fingers back, attempting to find her scar again and with some guidance his fingers bumped against her scarred tissue once more.

She couldn't talk either, just like him except humans don't have telepathy. He tilted his head a bit as he stared forward without seeing as though looking at her, her hands took his and moved his touch away but he felt her softly pat the back of his hand and she squeezed his hand with hers once more and this time he didn't feel as though it was a weak attempt of crushing his hand bones. There was a quiet moment as she held his hand squeezing it softly with hers, the warmth seeming to travel up his arm through him before returning with a slosh of clean water and cloth to clean the mud from his person as it still uncomfortable caked his chest and other arm.

((I think I finally found the words of why I didn't like the second story that much for Star Rail

It has the same, exact problems as Honkai 3rd's ending

Spoilers in the tags))

i love you guys so much. thank you guys so much for the support i've been getting on my art recently, i really really appreciate it!!!!

[tvrningon]

so!! a lil thing i've been thinking about for a while is that!! if you ever want to turn an ask i write into a thread, pls go for it! that goes for either blog ofc, but i know for me personally, i get nervous over n.s.f.w. stuff, so i'm just plainly letting y'all know that i'm cool with threads <3 i don't mind writing here bc this blog is pretty private as is, though i don't mind writing on discord if that's more comfortable, too!

i just? want to be able to properly explore intimacy with my muses, and what tends to happen with asks is that i write the beginning of an interaction ( depending on the ask, ofc ). my brain naturally wants to set up exposition, explore the feelings surrounding the idea of becoming intimate in that particular moment -- that's why i tend to write suggestive replies vs. actual spice. and don't get me wrong!! i enjoy writing that stuff a lot!! i love writing tension and the breaking of tension :' ) but i also want to see how my characters react and feel past that.

sorry i wrote so much asdf it's really been on my mind the last couple of weeks, and bc i do still get nervous over smut, i feel the need to explain more than i probably need to :' ) i just!! want to feel more comfortable writing and want the same for my writing partners!
