[atla-confessions]

I enjoy the wide range of different sibling relationships the series portrays.

Sokka and Katara both having to raise each other after the Fire Nation robbed them of both their parents in different ways so always trying to be so protective of the other and simultaneously take the role of responsible parent and playful sibling like they're each both Nani and Lilo at the same time,

Azula and Zuko both being abused and pitted against each other for traditions' sake, and neither being a good sibling to each other and ultimately being powerless to help the other from the same person who was abusing them anyway but still having that complicated mix of love and resentment and blame for each other (And yet somehow being the Fire Nation Royalty siblings with the best shot at eventually making something work, compared to Sozin/Zeisan, Ozai/Iroh, etc)

Rafa and Misu on their lifelong journey to get Rafa's face back desperate to speak to each other again,

Maliq and Malina being awful and annoying and I hate them,

Tarrlok and Noatok being ultimately doomed in the end even though they genuinely tried to go against their father for each other's sake and at least deciding they wanted to die together to bring an end to all this,

Desna and Eska being uncomfortably close to each other to the point of codependency because they're all the other has when it's very clear that their father very clearly couldn't care less about either of them,

Mai and Tom-Tom having a big difference in age so Mai being in a position to help protect Tom-Tom from what their father is trying to turn him into,

Ikki, Meelo, and Jinora just getting to be silly siblings at each other with the normal sibling squabbles and antics together,

Ty Lee cutting ties with her siblings and never wanting to look back, only for her sisters to come searching for her and all of them ending up in the same circus, leaving them at square one of struggling to find their individuality outside of a matched set and fighting over feeling like they can't be themselves without the others stealing that from them, but still caring about each other and saving Ty Lee,

Tonraq and Unalaq just being completely unsalvageable and having no fondness between them to be found and not really wishing there was anyway

Gliak def had a point in North and South comics. Hakoda was a really bad chief if I’m being honest, I mean he basically let the North invade and almost take control.

I also didn’t like his new relationship with that lady from the north. She and her brother seemed fake from the start. Especially since she admitted that her plans were to take over the south for oil and thought they were less than the north. I didn’t like the comics at all.

Thank you! Malina and Maliq were boujie as heck. It wasn't unrealistic, how they looked down their paternalistic noses on the Southerners, but that they were portrayed as having a point got to me. Oh, nothing to worry about, we'll just turn you into oil rig workers and erase your traditions because we know better than you rubes.

I don't think Hakoda was being a bad chief, I think he was doing his best. The South had been poor and sidelined for so long, he must have thought it was necessary to keep up with the rest of the world. And he had experience in war, not intrigue. The Northerners were taking advantage of him (Though keep in mind my own judgement may be clouded by a crush.)

(I will say nothing about the romance aspect, I don't want to think about that picture any more than I have to. Oogie!)

My main complaint of North and South was how progress was treated as better than tradition. New buildings (except Gran-Gran's bc she's awesome), new projects, and a complete disregard for the locals' way of life.

I'm not saying "progress" is always bad, but it has to come from working with people, not over them.

Gilak used some bad methods... but meta-ly, he didn't have to be written that way. Wanting your culture preserved and your people respected is not villainous.

North and South did a number on me for a few days when I read it. Gentrification was sticking its sickly nose into my hometown, and Thod, in particular, made me painfully aware of the real-life fact that stories have been lost, traditions forgotten, languages relegated to the past, because someone came in and decided that all that was backwards.

Drilling for oil is a very real problem. DAPL and the Alaskan wildlife reserves come to mind. Cultural loss is also pretty painful! You can miss what you've never had.

ATLA was great. LOK was great. The comics were growing pains. Real heavy, all of Yang's.

OK, that was unexpectedly long. And it may or may not make sense. But gosh-darnit, thank you for saying this. It's my first non-spam in my ask box. TYSM and stay opinionated!

Realistic expectations for Duke's 2024 transfers: Roles for Maliq Brown, Sion James, Mason Gillis

Maximizing the one year of Cooper Flagg is of utmost importance for Duke. It’s started in the transfer portal. Jon Scheyer didn’t hit the 2024 portal cycle looking for a star. Flagg, the ballyhooed, No. 1 recruit in the Class of 2024 and a candidate for No. 1 overall in the 2025 NBA Draft, will fit the bill. Returning sophomore Caleb Foster is expected to make a major jump, and getting point…

closed starter for @lostintra

it’s been a week since maliq had been back from his trip. he hadn’t even invited any friends over, let alone any one of his louder guests. he didn’t want to think his neighbor’s recent visit was the reason behind his sudden celibacy, blaming his constant thoughts about athena on how out-of-line she was. it definitely had nothing to do with the number of times he’d imagine how perfectly her pillowy lips would fit with his or how smooth her flawless complexion would feel against his fingertips. “fuck this,” maliq pushed himself up from his massive sectional, pausing his insecure rewatch. if he fucked her once, he’d be over it. he just needed to get athena out of his system.

after slipping on some slides, he made his way next door and pressed a hesitant finger to her bell. nearly midnight, it wasn’t exactly the time a neighbor asked for sugar — at least the kind you baked a cake with. maliq didn’t know what to say when she opened the door; there was so many things, but he started with, “miss me?” having a feeling that would cause her to shut the door in his face, he pressed a wide palm against the it. “i just wanted to see how you slept…if you needed any help tonight?”

Turtles All the Way Down

Movies watched in 2024

Turtles All the Way Down (2024, USA)

Director: Hannah Marks

Writers: Elizabeth Berger & Isaac Aptaker (based on the novel by John Green)

Mini-review:

Oof, I have very mixed feelings about this movie. Its portrayal of anxiety, OCD and spiraling intrusive thoughts is very acute and I related to the character so much through every step of the way. Unfortunately, a good chunk of the film is spent on a romance I didn't vibe with. It's not like it was toxic or anything bad, not at all. It was just... so boring. I didn't feel any spark at all. The first and final acts are strong enough to survive that romance, and Hannah Marks made some very interesting stylistc and directorial choices that I loved, but I just wished Turtles All the Way Down's entire focus had been Aza, her struggles with mental health and her friendship with Daisy.
