Hey, I'm Katie.... I'm obsessed with lots of things. Shakespeare, Harry Potter, HIMYM, Doctor Who, you know, the good stuff. I'm a writer, and I can't draw for my life.

i can’t stop thinking about that post that’s like “what if zuko was the avatar lol” because

  • most ppl don’t find out they’re the avatar until they’re like, 16, right? if i remember correctly? and zuko was banished at 13 or 14 so it would make sense for him to not know he was the avatar and not be found out at that point in time
  • the Shock. the Horror. coming to terms with it and finding his own destiny. does he turn himself in? does he do a 180 and realize that his father would want him dead or imprisoned? does he hide it and try to return home somehow? what sort of moral and emotional quandary does the lad experience?
  • how are they gonna teach him airbending? would any airbenders exist anywhere? iroh trying to teach him airbending based on what he’s Learned (like how he adapted waterbending techniques into firebending—trying to reverse engineer that to teach zuko airbending?)
  • zuko, bowling iroh over with a rush of wind: is this right? 
  • iroh, with absolutely no idea of what he’s doing but fairly certain that the gust of wind that blew his hat away is a step in the right direction: you’re doing great (he says sagaciously)
  • this is the inverse of the “are ya winning son” meme it’s “am i winning dad (uncle)”
  • zuko having to face the possibility of killing his own father
  • zuko would ABSOLUTELY reveal that he was the avatar in the most dramatic way possible
  • the way azula would try to kill zuko at every possible moment with 500x more spite and effort
  • zuko: azula…listen…we have to stop dad from taking over the world. can’t you see? we need harmony among all the elements, not the supremacy of one—
  • azula, moments before blasting zuko with lightning: no ❤️
  • sokka and katara leave the south pole anyway to meet up with their father and Fight In The War. maybe katara goes north first to learn bending? idk it’s 2 am im just spitballing. she is, of course, as badass in combat as ever only now she gets to beat soldiers up more frequently
  • zukka? zukka.
  • wait. the zuko x jet possibilities. hold on man…hold on….
  • the only thing i don’t like about this au is aang’s absence but zuko could see him in the avatar state
  • aang: hey zuko! it’s aang, from a few avatars ago! kind of fucked up for your grandpa to kill me :(
  • aang died with the monks, the water tribe person maybe was found and killed by a fire nation soldier before they were like BRANDON why would you KILL THEM now they’re just gonna REINCARNATE. GOD
  • the earth bender avatar could uh die in battle at ba sing se. yes. i am very smart.
  • listen we love to stretch our suspension of disbelief ok <3

things ive heard people say in class:

  • “what if i just straight up break down in class and scare the shit out of ms neo so that she’ll postpone the test?”
  • “is it too early if i have a breakdown in january?” “its the second week, man.” “i know.” 
  • “let’s all just collectively skip the national exams, fuck the system!” *aggressive cheering*
  • in a really choked up voice, “i have rights.”
  • “what if i become a monk? do monks have to take exams?”
  • “in this context, what does ‘rapid’ mean?” “FAST AND FURIOUS”
  • “did y’all do the chem homework?” *collective ‘no’s* “alright, good. nobody be a wimp and do their homework, alright? if we’re fucked, we’re all fucked together.”
  • “wait, you mean to say that this school still teach fun stuff like music??
  • *scandalised gasp* “you stole my circle template’s virginity!” “all i did was hook a finger through one of the holes!” “exactly!” 
  • “i bought this $2 knee guard just because i want to pretend that i’m injured so that i can sit out of PE.” [slides knee guard on] “i have three consecutive tests after this and lord knows i need all the extra study time that i can get.”
  • in an increasingly panicked voice, “i can’t just do my lit homework in 30mins!” “well, i did.” “what did you put for characterisation and further analysis?” “i said the protagonist was a fuckboy, and then proceeded to write 3 paragraphs and a conclusion consisting of utter bullshit on why he’s a fuckboy.”
  • “don’t they call people from Germany, germanese?” said by a top student.
  • “i think i’m a hermaphrodite.”
  • “fuck, i hate this. can i just be an escort? or have like 67 sugar daddies?”
  • in the middle of physics class: “i’m leaving, i’m fucking leaving. i’m going down to the canteen to buy takeouts of 3 fishball noodles. y’all want anything?”
  • “i want the saddest pepe the frog meme you can find as our class logo.”
  • “i found a salsa dip in my bag, anyone have some chips?” [a girl sighs, puts down her calculator and reaches into her sports bag] “i do.”

Am I wet? Am I on my period? Did I pee my pants?- next on wtf is going on down there.

I’m so glad this is a universal wondering among vagina-owners

and also, why do sometimes think i must be bleeding or something really bad and run to the toilet and then hardly nothing has happened, and other times i think “i’m fine” and then later realise there’s blood everywhere?

that vagina-owner feel

Okay but Harley is so fucking considerate, tho? She knows Canary and Arrow are having a baby and that the baby will either be an archer or a screamer and she presents gifts accordingly. Holy shit. xD

But no, wait, this is an amazing story arc. When HQ finds out Canary is pregnant, she refuses to fight her. 

This entire thing is just amazing. I could rant on and on, but I know I’ve seen a proper one on tumblr somewhere and I don’t want to accidentally take credit for what I read. Seriously though. This is some powerful stuff. HG basically went through her pregnancy alone and in an abusive relationship. This is compassion from empathy. <3

Honestly I will always be grateful to Brooklyn 99 for giving us “cool motive, still murder” as a quick, no-frills response to all these weak white boy villains with woe-is-me backstories that fandoms inevitably try to woobify.

My best friend just made an amazing observation about how anxiety tries to spur you to get immediate closure to conflict, so your brain starts considering any drastic option that you have control over and can enact immediately. Anything that requires patience or seeing how things play out or what someone else does seems too little, and it all gets catastrophized.

I almost never get anxiety but when I do, that’s the really damaging thing. That seriously impairs one’s judgment. For example, I start thinking that the only way I’ll ever be happy is to just isolate myself from things and people I love, which is such bullshit. I’ve typically struggled through by telling myself that’s overwrought and illogical and I don’t think that way when I’m in my right mind, that I’m being an asshole and letting a little bad stuff outweigh massive amounts of good, etc… but it’s probably less self-loathing to change that to “your brain is just desperate for closure and since you can’t control other people you feel like you only have the power to remove yourself from them, and the sooner you do so the sooner you’ll allegedly feel better even though you’d actually feel worse.”

This seems to be why middle-of-the-night anxiety is such a motherfucker, at least when it has happened to me. Because you need closure, but it’s the middle of the night so a lot of healthy actions you could take aren’t available to you right then. You feel rude contacting loved ones, you can’t work out disagreements with people, you can’t get work done that you’ve been putting off because you feel like if you don’t get to sleep things will be even worse. All you can do is keep obsessing over every drastic decision you could make, never actually doing anything, just dwelling in the dark waiting for closure that can’t come until the next day at best.

That’s so unfair, lol.
