I have the feeling that the animators of ARK The Animaed Series might have been fans of Korra and Asami

*places an orange just outside a fairy ring to see what comes out* science is more of an art than a science

*the orange grows legs and skitters away*

Fascinating results *places a banana in the same spot*

*clawed hand reaches out of the ether and drags it into the ring, leaving ragged claw marks in the soil as it disappears, back into the ether from whence it came*

“let’s go to the extreme.” *places a pineapple in the same spot*

Real scientists would keep putting an orange in the same spot to make sure the results are consistent before moving on to other fruits or different spots.

The only valid response to this post.

We’re working up the complexity levels of fruit until we feel there is enough evidence to support the judicious placement of a volunteer twink

You sit down, we haven’t seen what’s happened to the pineapple

Listen.

We were all thinking it.

Lena was thinking it.

When Kara is wearing those big clown pants it usually has a good reason.

Korra, as a character, is really unmatched to this day. I was captivated seeing that first reveal on some forum board back when I was like 12. A character like hers - brazen and tough, not waiting for permission to exist as she is - was truly unseen at that time in girls, and to a degree still is. Her being brown, on top of that, made her a magnet for me, and I am sure many others. With her character arc ultimately dealing with PTSD and disability, she is rightfully an icon to many.

On top of all the things she is, Korra was and still is my body ideal. I work my arms at the gym and grin at the idea I could resemble her likeness someday. She proved not only that there was room for girls to be buff and unashamedly strong, but specifically that there's pride to take in looking that strong. To this day, when I feel shame about leaning more into my butch tendencies, I look at her and feel something glowing in me.

Maybe this is the wrong platform to pose this question given the average tumblr user but

Is it just me or did our generation (those of is who are currently 20-30 ish) just not get the opportunity to be young in the 'standard' sense?

Like, everyone I talk to who's over 40 has all their wild stories about their teens and 20s, being young and dumb, and then I talk to my friends and coworkers and classmates, and we just... dont.

My mom tells stories of skipping school to sneak across the border and spend the day at a bar in Mexico. I was threatened with not being allowed to graduate because of senior ditch day. One of my friends had to go to his first hour class on senior ditch day because the teacher, who almost exclusively taught seniors, arranged a huge exam that day with no available makeup days, specifically to punish kids who took part in ditch day. Our wild and crazy ditch day was playing mini golf and then stopping for ice cream on our way back to one of our friends' houses to play cards against humanity.

Don't get me wrong, we had fun. But all of that, threats of not graduating, threats of failing classes over a single test, over some mini golf and ice cream?

Throughout high school and early in college, my friend group got kicked out of malls, stores, and even a parking lot just for being there wrong. Not being loud of disruptive. Not causing problems. Just being there too long, or without buying anything.

My mom graduated high school, after repeating her senior year, without a single grade above a D, and was offered a full ride scholarship to a state university to play on their women's football team. I had a 3.8 GPA, multiple extracurriculars, a summer job, and over 100 hours of volunteer work, and barely got into that same university, and then couldn't afford to go there anyway.

We've made getting into college so important and yet so difficult that kids are sacrificing their childhoods for it.

Then they become adults and it doesn't go away. Your employer/ potential employers are searching your social media and internet presence so you'd better hope no one has ever posted a picture of you at a party, or with alcohol, or wearing revealing clothes, or whatever else they've deemed unprofessional. And if you want to go out it's a 10 dollar cover and drinks are at least 8 dollars, and you need to tip if there's any kind of live entertainment, who can afford to do all that regularly?

My physical therapist, when I was 18, told me about his 21st birthday, how the last thing he remembers is people taking body shots off him. I spent my 21st birthday alone, was in bed by 10pm because I had to be at work the next morning. My boss had already told me that they knew it was my 21st, and if I called out, she'd write me up for improper use of sick leave because you're not allowed to use sick leave for a hangover. I don't know anyone whose 21st birthday was a big deal. No one went out and partied for it.

I dont really know where I'm going with all of this. I guess I just don't understand the point of it all. We spend our youth working hard to provide a future that we still can't afford. We have to be responsible and professional as teenagers. And we get nothing out of it. We can't afford life or friends or fun. At least our parents got to have fun being young and dumb, we just got groomed on kik.

So I'm not the only one noticing this. I wish I had an answer or at least something to say about it. But I dont. I'm just tired.

Sure especially with the internet we don’t tend to do much stuff outside anymore but I think a sort of it also has to do with the fact that things that other people consider crazy are kind of normal to us just because they happened to us and we have grown used to them

Like when I tell people how a schoolmate of mine accidentally slit his throat on a barb wire because he didn’t look where he was running or how we would ambush police cars during winter and pelt them with snow balls until they started chasing us or how we would call bomb threats to school or how we tore down the school fence and rioted in school because the principals pissed us off or how we would use our chem lessons to get some chemicals and go blow stuff in the park people would say that crazy but to me it was normal

Same way with uni. People say it’s crazy to have a professor who would teach you magic or get you to do live animal sacrifices according to ancient rituals but to us it was normal because we got used to our professor being passionate about history and wanting to make it come alive for us
