things i am learning now that i’m finally actually watching avatar the last air bender part one:

1) not everyone is a bender 2) it does appear to be inherent to some extent, because katara seems to be partially self-taught 3) however, there is a learning element, because you can improve on your skills and the avatar has to learn how to master all four elements where i thought aang just had inherent skill 4) the element of the bender seems to always match the element of the tribe they’re in, which makes sense if they are taught by their tribe but raises some questions if it’s inherent. is bending ability passed genetically? what happens if two benders of different elements have a kid? i can’t google this because i don’t want anymore spoilers than i already have 5) uncle iroh is prince zuko’s uncle?????????? i thought he was like an earth bender who owned a tea shop this entire fucking time how did i go into this series knowing almost everything but THAT

i honestly thought it was an honorary title like he’s a nice old man who helps out all the kids so he just has them call him uncle

Crackship: Jiraiya x Shang Qinghua.

Rivals to lovers where they try find inspiration to write the best smut in order to one-up the other. Imagine weeb SQH travelling through the elemental nations running into Jiraiya, who is curious about the place with the really horny plants.

I-

I have no words for this pairing other than the fact that I'm very curious about how Mobei Jun would feel about this. Who would win in a fight? Jiraiya or Mobei Jun?

does not even matter that shang qinghua is actually 60 years old because he does not have a single year worth of wisdom. he knows so much about the sigma grindset (writing 10k words of shitty smut a day) and nothing about anything else

i just wanna say for the record that shang qinghua absolutely wrote fanfic of his own work and didn’t even try to hide it.

like the account he publishes it on is called like “airplane shooting towards the sky 2” and his author’s notes are always like

“DISCLAIMER: i actually do own pidw (© me all rights reserved etc whatever) but this isn’t canon i just thought it would be funny as shit lol”

or like

“i was originally writing this for pidw but things got a lot gayer than planned. i didn’t want bingge to feel left out so i scrapped it ♪(´ε` ) this isn’t technically canon, but please know in your hearts that wives #365 and #404 are in love (also no smut in this ch sorry)”

or

“ahhhhhh mbj really is just too cool but he never gets to shine as much as i want him to *sobs* forgive me my king it’s the only way to keep you safe from bingge’s wives (´;ω;`)”

or just

“i got tired of writing about vaginas. vagina vagina vagina. give a girl a dick for once.
this chapter is dedicated to user “BingTits”, who commented on chapter 874 about wanting to see bingge’s tits put to more use. i hope this lives up to your expectations.”

or like if his system ever let him have access to his accts again (i’m imagining it’s been like a year or two of complete silence irl after finishing pidw)

“um…..sorry ive been gone for so long lol some stuff happened. internet is kinda spotty tho so don’t expect to see me around much after this
so this one actually IS canon, but it isn’t about bingge (he’s actually not alive yet lol), so i didn’t think it really fit in the main story. but i thought some of you might be interested, and cucumber says i should, so i’m putting it here for free (free bc i like…don’t need money anymore lol)
anyway this one is about bingge’s parents. i’m not gonna bother with a spoiler alert bc obviously it doesn’t end well for them or luo binghe wouldn’t have ended up in the icy luo river. i haven’t retconned anything.
i have another one about shen qingqiu and yue qingyuan (kudos to those of you who picked up on their Whole Thing) but i don’t think y’all are ready for that. i might post if if enough people seem interested, though ƪ( ˊ̱˂˃ˋ̱ )ʃ
anyway enjoy”

It's so funny to me when people call Shen Qingqiu mean for the way he acts towards Shang Qinghua, or act as though Shang Qinghua is genuinely hurt and crying himself to sleep over that treatment. Shang Qinghua is SUCH a goddamn weirdo. He's a twink. He's 70 years old. He has no guilty conscience. He doesn't view anyone or anything around him as real. In part 3 of the Airplane Extras, when Binghe has Shen Qingqiu imprisoned in his palace, Shang Qinghua quite literally says that if he were in charge of the situation ("could still control the current Bing-ge with his pen") that he would have made Binghe "defile Shen Qingqiu hundreds of times." He adds detail that I'll spare you in this post. He wrote a novel where like every character was supposed to be gay, including his literal dream man, and then he calls straight people "normal" people. His narration is like a fever dream, in the way he views the world and how he understands/processes it. He's a funny little guy who is busy with way more important things. I promise you he does not care - and if anything, finds it actively amusing - that his most loyal hater who is literally 50 years younger than him is snarky with him sometimes. It's what he deserves tbh

Fun fact: Samoyeds were bred largely as sled dogs, but they were also used as warming dogs, meaning they would lay on their owners to keep them warm in harsh cold climates.

This means that if you hug a Samoyed, they are likely to just sit there and accept the snuggles.

No, but you don’t understand how much they love cuddles.

I fostered a Samoyed. She would BREAK OUT OF HER KENNEL just to lay on me. Every. Single. Night. I couldn’t escape the love cloud. Every time I would lie in my bed, BOOM. Love cloud! Here for cuddles! We had to REINFORCE her kennel just so that she wouldn’t break out. See, this warming dog was trying to cuddle with me in 90+ F (32+ C) degree weather. It was inescapable.

Summary: A cloud tried to suffocate me in nearly 100-degree (38) weather because it was in her nature.

i mean,,,,, but what a way to go right?

Raya and the Last Dragon felt like a bit of a missed opportunity to showcase the beautifully unique shapes and sensibilities of SEAsian art styles in their dragon design. I couldn’t help but try my hand at pushing that aesthetic in her design just a little bit more. Her colors in the official art are very unusual for the style, too…but I tried to keep them for this. I couldn’t help but include some gold, though. (also, this is all in good fun, there’s probably a million reasons why Disney went with the more Japanese fish-kirin look in the end. But!! I hope that this’ll inspire more folks in the area to make dragons inspired by the culture and mythology here!! Because it’s unique and beautiful!!)
