cats would be so fucking upset if they understood they were missing out on the ability to lie verbally
season 2 is so good. also, i cannot stress this enough, the boulder knows how to put the hurt in the dirt.
also that scene toward the end of the first season where zhao boards zuko’s ship and he sees the dual dao and zhao’s like O_O and zuko’s like O_O is so good
i watched the first two episodes of live action atla and decided if i was going to watch atla i might as well just rewatch the animated series. and it’s been surprising how little nostalgia has to do with my enjoyment of the show… i think it’s been at least six years since i last rewatched it but probably longer. and there are several things i don’t remember noticing before that I’m really enjoying now. like the backgrounds are gorgeous, and while everyone knows the music is good i don’t remember it being This Good. also it’s so funny, i don’t think i really appreciated that as a child.
i think that post about how atla is remembered so fondly because it was the first long form storytelling many people my age experienced has some merit, but i don’t think that’s the full extent of it… the world building is genuinely in a league of its own. and it’s a good story. and it uses its serialized format efficiently and perfectly to cover a lot of ground wrt character development, world building, plot building etc so that very quickly you feel entrenched in the fantasy of it. and it is all very fantastic. not only the world but the quintessential childhood dream of being on a great big quest that spans the whole world with your best friends and no adult supervision. idk i just finished the first season in my rewatch which is widely regarded as the weakest and I’m just so surprised by how much it does so well. anyway.

“Once, when I was describing to a friend from Syracuse, New York, a place on the plains that I love, a ridge above a glacial moraine with a view of almost fifty miles, she asked, “But what is there to see?” The answer, of course, is nothing. Land, sky, and the ever-changing light.”
