in grade 6 and every time we had a movie day or class party id ask my mom for a can of doctor pepper but i had to keep it in my backpack and it always got shaken up and would explode when i opened it bcus we all know dr pepper has much more chaos inside the can than any other soda and anyways my whole class instinctively knew every time that my doctor pepper would explode and we'd have to pause the movie and clean it up and id usually be covered in dr pepper for the rest of the day and be super embarrassed and this happened to me about twelve times throughout the year. you might be wondering why i couldnt keep my dr pepper in my locker until we watched the movie and its because i didnt have a locker in grade six after i left a piece of pumpkin pie that my teacher gave me in there for a month and it rotted and molded so bad and there were maggots everywhere so one day i locked the locker and refused to open it ever again so for a whole year i carried all my stuff around because i was afraid to go to admin and tell them about my maggot pie because someone started a rumor that if the principle figured out you did something bad she would lock you down in the basement storage room that was infamous for having a giant rat that lived inside of it and i was afraid of rats after seeing ratatouille because i thought a rat might climb inside my hair and start controlling me and force me to do things i didnt want to do like make soup

since the dawn of time immemorial, humans have wondered, “what happened before the beginning of history?” the answer… is “fungus, mostly.” unfortunately, the mycorrhicene era has ended, giving way to the meatier, louder, and less efficient anthropocene. but what if i told you. we could bring it back?

do you think there’s ever been a point in the avatar cycle where everyone was just waiting for them to pop up in one of the water tribes, but instead they reincarnated into one of those waterbending swamp hicks in the earth kingdom? because I really like the idea of a swamp avatar with a little leaf hat and a southern drawl.

so apparently with the tribes that have, like, discrete sites of power, the Avatar would rotate where they were born. Which for Air meant it would go something like Northern->Western->Southern->Eastern, and for the water tribe meant it would alternate between North and South, which is part of why the Southern Tribe had been so depleted; Sozin knew that was where the next Avatar would be born.

but. The swamp is ABSURDLY connected to the spirit world, and definitely should have gone into the rotation, and I’m just. Just imagining. An AU where Aang didn’t make it and Sozin just assumed the Southern tribe was next and anyway twenty years later this goddamn fully realized hick from the sticks Avatar emerges from the swamp and puts the hurting on the fire nation.

Instead of a polar bear dog or whatever, their animal companion is an alligator.

I see your ‘Aang didn’t make it’ au and raise you

do people on tumblr like. realize that friendships arent therapy

this is how yall end up going around calling every ex-friend your abuser. its nice for your friends to be able to drop everything for you when youre having a bad time, but its literally NOT mandatory. your friends should not have to ignore their own problems to fix yours. get some therapy.

as a friend, you are allowed to say “i would really love to help you right now, but i cant push back my own issues to help you. im going through my own problems right now, and thats what i need to focus on”. it is NOT selfish. you arent going to be of any help to the people you care about if youre in bad shape and not taking care of yourself. its only going to make you worse for wear.

If your response to someone putting their own problems ahead of you in their priorities is to call them an abuser, then yes there is an abuser in your relationship and it isn’t them.
