“[On where Tim was coming from] I think Bradford probably perceives it as the most loving action he can take in that moment because he's also self-flagellating and thinking that he is a not very desirable human being — given his history that has resurfaced that he was trying to bury, but is irrepressible and has reappeared and put so much at risk, including the person that he loves.” — source

started watching the new live action avatar

it’s. It’s pretty ok I guess? But there’s a lot of things I’m not altogether happy about. It feels very. Generic. Which is kind of sad.

I’m only two episodes in though, so I won’t be too harsh. But there are a few things that I really don’t like, and number one was Aang going into the Avatar State in front of Sokka and Katara for the first time when seeing Monk Gyatso instead of when escaping Zuko, and that moment being isolated instead of the moment everyone in the world knew the Avatar had returned

in the original series, Aang goes into the Avatar State when confronted by irrefutable proof in the form of the skeleton of his best friend and mentor - the airbenders really were massacred and he can no longer deny it.

every statue of the Avatar around the globe lights up in a single moment. the legendary figure’s destined return is announced to the world by an overwhelming outpouring of grief and rage from a young child who just discovered that everyone he ever knew and loved is gone. it’s poignant. the Avatar’s return in that moment is not a triumph. that terrifying show of strength and power, enough to light up the world in its glow, is pure emotional anguish from a small twelve year old, who just saw the dead body of his mentor and now believes he is all alone

and Katara and Sokka having seen the Avatar State before means that there is less of the shock and “what is happening” in this pivotal scene (which was the main focus in the live action). of course Sokka is still concerned about them potentially getting flung off the mountain. but both of them know this reaction for what it is - mysterious power, sure, but primarily, they see and recognize his grief.

I just. what happened to “we’re your family now” and “neither of us are gonna let anything happen to you”??? :(

on a side note, I do feel like Katara and Sokka themselves have been heavily (heh) watered down. it’s a shame. Sokka’s my favourite, and I just think that I. Don’t trust writers with Katara now. (Why is her waterbending a secret? The whole reason she didn’t learn was because there was no one to teach her and she couldn’t leave… also where is her instant connection with Aang… where is their silliness… where did it go…)

however! I did like a couple things that were done and I want to be a bit positive so here

love Zuko and Suki’s actors. they did a great job

Sokka and Suki’s training together was cute ☺️ (though I wish he had worn the uniform of the Kyoshi Warriors…)

Aang himself is adorable :) (wish he got to be a little more silly but Netflix adaptations always are more serious for some reason)

I actually kind of enjoyed getting to see some of the scenes from the war’s outbreak. I prefer the way the original show portrays it, with a lot of info being learned reverse chronologically, but it was cool to see Sozin, and some of the airbenders, and a little more of Gyatso (who I also really enjoyed :’) )

Katara bending water at Aang and it reducing to them splashing each other without even trying to bend. Rare sillies!

I thought Kyoshi herself coming to defend her island was pretty sweet!!!

Katara getting flashbacks to her mother’s death on seeing firebending. Well I don’t like this, obviously, but it clearly shows how her mother’s death haunts her, and if they have Katara face off against Zuko again at the North Pole, it’ll be all the more triumphant.

Suki’s mom!!! Damn she was so cool!!!!!!

SPOILERS !!!

I honestly want to know what deal Rick has with platonic love or grief as background for Solangelo. Like.

Solangelo first kiss happened in the middle of Nico's grieving for Jason (bc Will thought it would help? What?). Nico first fell for Will when he was in a rage out of grief over Leo's fake-death plan.

Huh. I take it back. I don't want to know his deal.

[narcissisticpdcultureis]

Npd culture is opening up to someone about having multiple disorders and now all of a sudden I've lost nearly all of my friends and I'm crashing so fucking hard it physically hurts because I have no way of getting supply apart from internet people

[maybe-if-youd-listen]

Anakin is sort of a dead beat father for being fully capable of communicating post-death and he's choosing to train Ahsoka instead of Luke :) meanwhile Luke :) is all alone with R2 rebuilding the Jedi without any guidance (that we know of)

We don't know if Obi-Wan is still speaking to him :) or Yoda :) or Mace Windu :) even fucking Qui-Gon Jinn would be a good contender to be consulting Luke on how to rebuild.

But you know what's even fucking crazy?

Ahsoka doesn't even need to be a Jedi again if she doesn't want to. She just needs to be available and nearby for Luke for whenever he has a question :) which she chose not to be :)

But back to Anakin. Isn't it crazy that both of his kids are alive and well and he has the ability to become full body apparition and he's choosing to not be with his kids :)

Wow :) he doesn't even tell Ahsoka "hey btw now that we have that sorted out I need you to help go help Luke" nope :) none of that :)

AND THEN AHSOKA meets Luke for the first time (btw did y'all wanna see how they met? Well fuck you you won't get to see their first conversation) and we can assume they share stories. So now Luke knows about who his dad was from a non-vague perspective (thanks Obi) and Ahsoka now knows that Anakin has two adult kids :) and she :) the woman who is soooo traumatized by her master and had a deep emotional bond with. Is choosing :) to not be with them

Weird right? Your mentor that was with you during a big emotional part of your life and you find out his blood continues. Very weird you wouldn't voluntarily be there with them. You don't even have to be that active in their lives. The least you could do is offer to drive Kylo Ren to soccer practice or give Leia some pictures and video footage of her birth parents and her would-be adoptive parents from the Republic era.

But no, fuck them kids I guess

"So much like you father 🥲" bitch I will throw a chair at you, don't talk to him like that if you're not gonna be helpful.

I know that Corlys going away and to war is how he copes with the loss of his children but the fact that he left Rhaenys alone for years makes everything sadder.

She’s been alone all of this time, mourning both of her children and now she thinks she will lose the love of her life. It’s so tragic.

The way she said ‘the stranger has visited me more times than i can count’ made me tear up. She’s so tired and sad.

It breaks my heart to her so broken down and yet she still conducts herself with grace and will fight for her family to the very end. She said enough. And she’s coming.

Eve Best you never cease to amaze me. (I really hope she gets recognized in award season)

Also just give Paddy Considine all of the awards. That man was incredible.

[ghost-bison]

I just watched Day Of The Moon and the ending had me throwing a tantrum

Like Doctor, how can someone so smart as you be such a fuckwit?

He KNOWS, he freaking KNOWS his firsts are River's lasts, yet when she kissed him, without hesitation he was like "There's a first for everything am I right lol byyyye see ya"

Fuck. You. You should have kissed her again. You should have given her the kiss of her life, swept her off her feet.

But no, he said bye instead
