#the blame distribution is

[messymosaic]

Hey, interested in your opinion about this.

Do you think Mako kissing Asami back was in character? When Korra came back from a war, this is what she would walk into. Don't you think it was a degrading thing to do Korra?

The fact that he is friends with a person who would act so desperately selfish says a lot about how he doesn't respect Korra.

I'm not sure how Makorra would work as long as he doesn't realize that. No self respecting woman would put up with that.

(I don't buy the "vulnerable Asami" excuse, nor do I think it justifies what happened)

The way this is a reach 🤌 so if I understand correctly, Asami instigated the kiss with Mako and somehow it’s Mako’s fault? It continually amazes me how Mako gets the brunt of the blame for the love triangle when it’s mostly Korra and Asami playing tug of war with him as the rope.

Vulnerable Asami? Try vulnerable Mako. What the fuck. He’s raw from a break up and Asami lunges for the attack??? That situation is at least 70% her fault.

Why is Mako friends with Asami? You mean why is Korra friends with Asami? The two of them giggling like besties in Book 3 like they didn’t thoroughly fuck with Mako’s head and actively disrespect each other’s relationships.

Why does the blame fall squarely on Mako here, when really it’s male writers blatantly not understanding female dynamics. Feminism? Maturity?? If I catch a bitch kissing my boyfriend that bitch better get out of my house. Best believe she will never be trusted again.

The writers wanted a Beautiful Liar moment so bad where two girls bond over being victimized by the same man. EXCEPT in both cases the girls instigated the betrayal (Korra kissed Mako while he’s dating Asami, Asami kissed Mako when the break up is so raw it’s not even pasteurized)

Pictured: NOT Korra and Asami

If there is any justice in the world (and Bryke knew how to write romance) Asami and Korra would’ve fought each other like the catty bitches they truly are.

I don’t even care about defending Mako or Makorra I just want to highlight that the Korra-Asami friendship makes ZERO SENSE. They’re so fucking toxic omg. And now they’re dating??? Based on their track record with respecting boundaries: good fucking luck with that.

Then you get Mako sacrificing himself in book 4 and people going “he should’ve died”, why??? Because two girls tossed him around like a frisbee?? Because you’ve got showrunners who can’t write romance???

Korra would be lucky to deserve Mako after all that. That is my core Makorra belief. It’s a fucked up girlfriend/pathetically in love boyfriend who’s too good for her dynamic!

This reply went off the rails but in my defense, that love triangle is a scourge on humanity. I’m not mad at anon I’m mad at the abysmal romantic development that mks have been trying to rectify with fics for years.

The last time I tried to use a Weighted blanket was right after the spider bite and I couldn't do it. Instead of relieving stress like it did before, it felt like I was unable to breathe and made everything so much worse. I tried several times over the next few months, but it didn't help anymore. I kept it in my closet and moved it to Chicago with me as a cover for my TV, but when we were unfolding it to pack a brown recluse climbed out of it and even though I knew there was no danger once it was gone, the association was permanent and I never ended up trying to use it until finally I ditched it in June.

I went today to get a new pillow and like, I did but I also walked out with a new weighted blanket and a weighted dragon plushie and oh my god. My bed just went from "that place where I sleep" to "my oasis, my port in a storm, the place I will now daydream of returning to." it almost feels wrong to be this comfy. three years of stress are being pressed out of me like milk from a barrel of almonds. Like when your dish sponge is black with burnt residue and you get it nice and wet and squeeze until it turns yellow again. Weirdly I feel like I'm almost levitating instead of being weighed down. The dragon is the perfect shape to sit on my shoulder/upper chest, and I can rest my head on it without it losing its shape or slipping off. I'm going to wind up with temporary nerve damage in my heel where it's pressed into the mattress a little. I'm never moving again.

i have so many THOUGHTS but i would get eaten alive for those thoughts so instead i will just say : ) and rant in the tags

[almond2002]

i have my likes and dislikes on this season but one thing most who watched it agreed on is how it was nothing like what the writers said it would be before it aired…like super gorey and super gay? i’d say season two beats season three out on those two by a large margin. there also needs to be a return to how the adult timeline deals with trauma, rather than them all dying one by one to up the shock factor. as there still hasn’t been a season four renewal (…yet), let’s hope the future writers room makes an effort to understand the criticism and why it’s needed.

hi darling!! for the wip word game: brother and blush/blushing

laurie my love <333

brother (from operation wanker, because thats the only wip the word is mentioned in)

“James, are you going to take me to some rock concert or something?” James can’t help himself, he actually laughs at Regulus’ obvious distress that this might be what James came up for with a date. “I’m not, I did actually remember which Black brother I’m taking out, don’t worry. Although, if you fancy, there is a laser show in a couple hours where they play some rock songs as well?” “I think I’ll pass, thank you,” Regulus says decisively. “Kind of expected as much. I might take Sirius there some time though…” “I can’t believe I’m going out with someone who’s talking about taking my brother out while on our date,” Regulus mutters.

blush (from borrow my name. i make reg blush far too fucking much oops)

“My washing machine broke,” James says with a grin this time when Regulus opens his door, “You don’t happen to have a shirt I can borrow?” James hasn’t managed to take Regulus by surprise since that first time he came knocking on his door. The fact the he stands frozen in his doorway now, staring at James’ bare chest with a deep blush across his cheeks despite having seen James naked several times over the past couple weeks makes James grin with satisfaction. “Well? What do you say? Wanna help out your needy neighbour?” That seems to finally unfreeze Regulus. “Needy now, is he?” “Very much so,” James agrees. “Can I come in?”

people on this website are unbelievably misinformed.

ok repeat after me. Disney does not own Doctor Who. Disney did not buy Doctor Who. Disney has, at the moment (June 2024), some international distribution rights for Doctor Who. this means that in some territories (notably the United States) Doctor Who is being simultaneously released on Disney+ at the same time as on BBC iPlayer. that’s it!!! It does not mean everything in the show had to be approved by Disney. It does not mean that Disney has any kind of creative control over Doctor Who (and i seriously doubt they do).

you may realise that a lot of non-disney properties also release on Disney+ (especially outside of the country they were made in!). before this distribution rights deal, Doctor Who fans in the US would have to either pirate new episodes, wait for the home releases or hope that the new episodes would eventually come to whatever streaming service they are subscribed to. now there is a dedicated official way for the yank fans to watch new episodes (as they release, but on Disney+). that’s literally it! any problem you have with new episodes of Doctor Who, you have to have it with the BBC/the writers, you can’t blame Disney. i hate Disney as much as the rest of you but at least be accurate in your criticisms for christs sake. they are not changing things to be less (OR MORE) gay because of “Disney money”. good heavens
