Ahem. Dishevelled, slightly bloody, with a sword under their chin, while smiling lasciviously
for your consideration: dishevelled, slightly bloody, with a sword under their chin, while smiling lasciviously, and kneeling

You have no proof!!
Once when the gaang visits the Fire Nation, they’re all just on the side of too tipsy when Zuko leans in with the most grave expression imaginable.
“Aang,” Zuko says, “This has been… haunting me…. Why did your friends need to suck on those frogs?”
And Aang just gasps, and does not explain the frogs, because he has suddenly remembered that Miyuki is still wanted by the Fire Nation and that just won’t do. So Aang demands that Zuko pardon Miyuki for her crimes, which then gets the rest of the gaang to dogpile on and also demand justice for Miyuki.
Zuko is willing to hear him out.
…Zuko is significantly less willing to hear him out when Aang mentions that Miyuki is a cat.
(Zuko finds it difficult to believe that a cat is legitimately wanted by the Fire Nation)
But because they are all the worst, he relents and they all drunkenly stumble down to go find the records of Miyuki’s crimes and write her up a pardon, much to the chagrin of the night-shift archivist.
Zuko, staring blankly at Miyuki’s rap sheet:
The gaang:
Zuko:
Zuko: I don’t …. I don’t think I can pardon this…
My brother saved this document and everytime he gets angry at our neighbours for being loud he prints it to their wireless printer and you can hear the wife shout “Why the fuck would you print this AGAIN?!” to her son.
every time we serve chicken at work i think of this post
1. If you were wondering, you can type the numbers in the works cited into google and they appear to be medical journal articles about using medical imaging to detect and diagnose a rare form of Gastritis.
2. Please enjoy the offical powerpoint presentation of this paper at an academic conference by the original author, complete with Q&A:
THIS IS GOLD
oh m god please watch the video it’s some of the most contagious laughter on the planet
When I saw this cross my dash tonight, I smiled and thought “yess, the chicken chicken chicken post, I get to reblog it again and inflict it on all of the people that have followed me since last time”, and then I scrolled down more and to my utter delight there was A VIDEO, needless to say my night has been made
I HAVE NOT SEEN THE CHICKEN VIDEO IN TEN DAMN YEARS HOLY SHIT
STILL FUNNY
The bell
The last question
The woman howling in laughter 90% of the time
It’s all beautiful
It’s all
So beautiful
I love that he was absolutely 100% prepared for a question in chickenese.
“I do not feel capable summarizing this article”
Same
Chicken chickens chickens
why does anyone in Gotham even bother doing crime like you KNOW the second you leave the bank with the money you just stole Bruce Wayne is gonna be chilling on a bench on the other side of the street in his bat fursuit like “hey bitch u better not be breaking the law”
because batman never bothered attacking the roots of social problems
you know what… you’re right call him out!!
Wayne Enterprises has a jobs program for those who are fresh out of prison. He routinely takes major villains with mental health issues to an asylum where professionals are there to help. Or do you just read the fight scenes?
Because
Batman
Never
Bothered
Attacking
The
Roots
Of
Social
Problems
WHAT THE HELL KIND OF BATMAN HAVE YOU BEEN WATCHING?
Fake geeks, I swear to god…
The best part is that most of the lore, especially Batman: The Animated Series, gets to a point in Batman’s career when everyone asks the question of why someone would rob a bank in Gotham when they know that if they approached Batman, and coincidentally Bruce Wayne, they could get the help they needed.
That’s the whole point of Batman. Granted there have been modernized adaptations that paint him out to be nothing more than a growling, punching, antihero. But nobody ever said those adaptations were canon or even good. The original Batman comics, most of the newer comics, the Animated Series, the animated spinoffs, even the Arkham video games all operate under the lore that Batman does everything within his power to help as many villains as he can, even if it means going against cops, politicians, etc. That’s what originally made him the vigilante. He went against the social norms. He did everything that a hero shouldn’t do, not in a murderous way, but in a taking-sides way. Every other hero swoops in to save the corrupt politician from the criminal. Batman swoops in to save the criminal from the corrupt politician.
I mean look at what he did with a carjacker!! Turned him into a certified Robin!
Superheroes are modern myths, with many different people telling stories of these godlike figures. Sometimes those different tales celebrate wildly different interpretations of those figures. It’s up to audiences to decide which versions of these heroes we choose to celebrate, and it speaks directly to what we uphold as virtues.
i think villains in general provide better, more epic romances because they're allowed to go to extremes. they're allowed to put their love over the greater good. they're allowed to be selfish. the best a hero can offer you is number two, because their duty comes first. villains, though. villains will burn down the world for a last kiss goodbye.
i see posts sometimes that say things like “wouldn’t it be cool if ao3 would recommend you fics similar to the one you just read?” or “wouldn’t it be cool if ao3 had a function similar to spotify wrapped that showed you your fic reading habits over the year?” etc. and while on one hand, yes, i can see how these functions might be neat & fun & helpful, i think the fact that ao3 *doesn’t* do any of these typical media website things is actually utterly spectacular
like, i enjoy looking at my spotify wrapped as much as the next person, but when you start to think about that, it is honestly pretty horrifying that spotify collects & stores all this data about its users & can produce it at a moment’s notice. and netflix is not recommending you shows because it actually cares that you watch something you enjoy. it’s recommending them because in the digital age, attention is money & every website is fighting for as much of yours as it can get.
the fact that a website hosting as much media as ao3 doesn’t try to analyze or predict or manipulate your content consumption in any way is truly an oasis in a landscape where user data is the most valuable commodity around. ao3 gives all of the agency to its users & i don’t think we realize just how rare that is. you go looking for the content you want. you sort and filter based on your preferences. you subscribe to the story or author updates you’d like to see. so on and so forth. nothing is recommended for you. no algorithm is trying to maximize the time you spend on the website. you engage with it completely on your own terms. and given the way most media websites choose to operate, that is nothing short of a miracle.
Could we just sit and contemplate the term “archive” here for a while? Because I think this is where a lot of people are approaching AO3 from the wrong perspective.
An archive is a storage space. That is its primary purpose. It exists to store material. Storage. Not retrieval (although retrieval is implied through storage). Not audience. Not social interaction. Storage.
AO3 was created as an archive by a group of people who were aware (some of them exquisitely aware) words have meanings. They could have called it anything - “fanfic hub”, “yet another fanfic site”, etc etc etc. They chose to call it “An Archive Of Our Own”.
Could we just sit with this for a while?

One of the few times it's 100% perfect to have an older white dude with a beard mansplain to a young girl.
Except that is not mansplaining -- mansplaining is a man, assuming he knows everything better than women simply by virtue of being a man, trying to explain something he doesn’t know that much about to a woman who is expert in that area. This is a man sharing his knowledge with a woman who has clearly demonstrated she has no idea what she is talking about. That’s just called explaining.
This is one of my favorite guys on tiktok
Discovered him a couple days after getting tiktok
He has the best, and I mean BEST, explanations from a white person I have ever heard
How do I explain to people the pure hilarity that is "no beta we die like [fandom refrence]" and the pure joy I get out of it
Anyway if you’re from the US and you ever wanted to know what tumblr feels like from a non-USAmerican perspective (please note that the rest of the world is not a monolith either and none of these apply without exception):
Fellow non-USAmericans, please add anything else you can think of.
