The weirdest thing is how like. Social skills are learnable to some degree but when it doesn't come naturally you're still operating on a level of like, way more conscious thought than how neurotypicals just walk around on autopilot. I have to do it manually. It's like translating to a second language I'm conversational in but not quite fluent and the native speakers can tell

Post canon Toph who doesn’t want to go back to her shitty parents so she just decides to stay in the Fire Nation and bum off Zuko’s hospitality.

Zuko’s like no, yeah, I totally get it, and just makes her one of his advisors. At first it’s just so she has a good excuse to stay but after the first meeting Toph storms out shouting about how EVERYONE was lying why would you even need to lie about what kind of tea you want??

Zuko: I mean they’re politicians…..but also who, and when, and in what way

They make a subtle Morse code system so Toph can warn him when someone is lying to him without tipping anyone off that she can sense lies.

Zuko gets a reputation for somehow being both extremely socially inept and yet somehow disgustingly perceptive?? You can’t get ANYTHING by him???

Showing up to the potluck with a bowl of something nobody else wants to eat. Maybe one other person. Two if someone will eat it out of morbid curiosity.

okay but there is something disquieting about this urge to cast fan writers as altruists. they give us all this for free!! well, no.

they’re sharing

it’s a key difference in perception. fic isn’t given. it’s shared. it’s part of a fandom community— in which readers are also an integral part.

it’s probably inevitable mission creep from the increasingly transactional nature of the internet and fandom-as-consumerism, which was always gonna happen after corps worked out how much bank there is to make from those weirdo fan people

but like. fandom is sharing. i think we’ve lost that somewhere.

Can you draw England as a rat? Please?

Like imagine the Roman empire invading the island of great britian and finding a rat with thick eyebrows instead of a human nation

Or England showing uo to the world meeting as a rat

Why yes I can draw England as a blond rat. His spirit animal is a rat. Pottertalia in the year of our Lord 2025.

Anytime anyone asks for rat England it will work like a lottery I will make a rat England but the flavour will be random.

In pottertalia universe his form is a rat because rats are intelligent survivalists but they're also greedy little things that steal too much food and vanish into the cracks of your house. Also you can pry England's stupid star-wand from my cold dead hands. I imagine a wizard owning a wand with a star on the end is about as gaudy and outdated as wearing a leopard-print jacket.

Worlds most mediocre wizard. Painfully average. His ego is far too big for his grades.

I love your fic "Liondogs: forget your miracles"

Will we get another part to the england and india series ?

Just asking

Also ,will you ever write pakistan one day? Just asking , please don't feel like I'm demanding

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm planning on continuing, but I am a very slow writer because I do not always write my stories in narrative order. I often have parts that will happen far off written, but not the next step. Then I spend a long time trying to find the steps to get to the end. I also have a few other projects in the meantime. Also I don't mind any questions about my fics; I like explaining the creative process behind the ideas. I've been told that I am blunt when I respond, but I do consider people's comments / suggestions / questions when I think about the future of a story. I like hearing from people. That being said, I do not know if I will write Pakistan. While I am thinking about the possibility, a string of an idea hasn't appeared for me to tug on, and if an idea does show up, I am not sure if that string will weave well into the wider story. It would be very difficult to write. At the moment it's not in the plans. I am very close to adding China though.

America, showing up to world war two: "I have a plan to save my friends!" England: "I don't care about your friends. What about France and I?"
