I haven’t posted much about it on this blog because I have so few followers here compared to main and other side blogs, but genuinely, if you are a fan of Avatar, you need to be doing everything you can to support and liberate palestine and end this genocide. ATLA is about a fucking genocide and the devastating impacts of colonialism and a brutal military occupation. Well, we’re witnessing a genocide and the devastating impacts of colonialism and a brutal military occupation right now. If you are a fan of ATLA or LOK you fucking need to be talking about palestine and Palestinian liberation. You need to be calling your elected officials, going to protests, talking to people in real life, resharing and uplifting Palestinian voices, boycotting Israeli products, reading and educating yourself on what’s going on and the history behind it, and doing everything you can to stop this genocide.

We all need to be talking about palestine. Silence and “neutrality” and inaction is complicity.

Free Palestine 🇵🇸

what if ruby is a fictional character created from scratch by “the storyteller” of the pantheon (susan twist or the one who waits or whatever) to serve as the perfect companion to assist the doctor in his travels through the made-up universe they’ve written for him?

she’s just too ideal. almost frictionless. welcome back sam jones etc. also eight travelled with a painting that had come to life once (although i haven’t read those comics) so there would be a precedent

and her tragedy would be discovering that she basically exists to serve the development of his narrative, like an extreme version of river song, a commentary on the trope of the manic pixie dream girl (speaking of which… who is that under the hood?) maybe eventually in the next series that will be her motivation to leave the TARDIS for good. to start a life that belongs to her alone.

i don’t know. that’s how i would write her. a sort of deconstruction of the companion archetype but from a different angle than clara’s deconstruction of the companion archetype was: this time it’s not about becoming the doctor, it’s about the role of the companion as both narratively essential and narratively subordinate. maybe russell isn’t smart enough. i probably need to stop overestimating his ability to write

Do you guys think that as time passes Robb’s story gets turned into a folk tale…a cautionary story for children…a story rooted in truth but the real details are lost. A boy king marches south looking for justice for his good father but gets betrayed by the people he trusted too much…he gets turned into a beast, half boy and half wolf, forgetting who he is and living among the forest. The riverlanders say that you can hear the wolf king howl when you’ve been lied to, and that he scavenges the woods, pouncing on liars and betrayers. And his mother, so mad with grief, stalks riverbanks at nights, her face torn to bloody ribbons, attacking similar victims, but preferring the ones with blonde hair. Little children hear scary tales of Lady Stoneheart and the Wolf King and are too frightened to ever tell a lie. Men sit in taverns, singing sad drinking songs about a mother and child draped in tragedy. Girls sit about with their needlework, sighing at the true love the Wolf King died for, his fair queen who he put above all others, even himself. Robb Stark is betrayed, and this is true. But time twists the truth. Truth fades into story fades into legend. And he is forgotten, nothing more than a symbol in an old tale.

A ray-finned (actinopterygian) River Zora.

Unlike his cartilaginous (chondrichthyan) relatives, he and the other males turn red in the spring. They also gets very aggressive.
