This post is how I found, and why I follow, Gallus.
So I made an entire music video with the boys! XD I was listening to this song yesterday and couldn't get this out of my head. Their voices are as spot on as you're gonna get with this song!!! I listen to it and all I hear is them!!! Just take a listen.
The original cover and video is done by Caleb Hyles on his YouTube channel. I highly recommend you check him out! He does amazing song covers and collaborative covers, I listen to a lot of them.

This is beautiful!
Achrioptera manga is a species of phasmid or stick insect of the genus Achrioptera, found only in a forest in northern Madagascar.
Stick insects usually blend into their background, but the male A. manga is blue, standing out against the surrounding foliage
kind of a fucked up boy
okay honestly i’m living for the vibrant yet tasteful color scheme
i’m using Internet Explorer, i hope this posts quickly. happy new year 2011
This is literally the first AMV I’d ever seen in my life
I never thought I’d ever see this again😭🙌🏼
Id like to see them try.
I think that would be a very bad idea. Saw a comedian talk about this, actually. I can't remember who it was... Dave Chappelle, I think? But think what the movie is about, the setting of the movie, the characters of the movie, and you can tell me where the problem will be if Tarzan was black. Doesn't put the film in a good light anymore, now does it? Lol
"You need at least two people for this." Well, um, he's not wrong.
Cheers, mate!

Many thanks for finding the original, please reblog this version!

Okay, I’ve been sitting on (no pun intended) this theory for awhile now because it’s not even really a theory, so much as it is speculation. (”Uncle, that’s what all theories are!”) Anyway, hear me out:
tl;dr: Iroh was depressed, and thus in a passive state, up until the end of Book One, whereupon Zhao’s act of violence snapped him out of it.
We know that Lu Ten died during the original Siege on Ba Sing Se and it’s heavily implied that losing Lu Ten caused Iroh to “fall apart” and ultimately end the Siege itself:
(Image Descriptions: First two images are of Iroh chained, saying, “I acknowledge my defeat at Ba Sing Se. My men was tired and I was tired.” The third image is of Iroh at Lu Ten’s grave. The fourth and fifth images are of Young Azula talking to Young Zuko: “He found out his son died and he just fell apart. A real general would stay and burn Ba Sing Se to the ground.”)
He didn’t have the mental strength to fight at Ba Sing Se, but that’s not the only time that he refused to fight.
He never tried to take the throne from Ozai. He never once tried to find out what happened to Ursa. And I hate to do this, but he didn’t even put up that much of a fight when a thirteen-year-old asked to attend a war meeting. And when they were in that war meeting, who was the one to speak out against the immorality of war? Zuko. Not Iroh, even though he was sitting right next to him.
(Image description: Zuko standing up at the war meeting. We can see that Iroh is sitting next to him.)
When Zuko was in the Agni Kai Chamber, on his hands and knees, crying, begging for mercy…Iroh just…looks away…
(Image description: Iroh looking away.)
And I’m not going to lie, this theory was originally just going to be a post talking about how guilty Iroh must have felt, but I think it goes a lot deeper than that. I could make a post arguing that Iroh’s misjudgement and lack of action were what led to Zuko being scarred, but to do so would be to blame Iroh, and I don’t want to blame Iroh. Because it’s not his fault. I think that, in this moment, he’s still in a depressive, passive, state from what happened to Lu Ten. Iroh essentially has PTSD. He saw what war can do, so he freezes and backs down at any sign of a fight.
And we see, all throughout Book One, how many times Iroh tries to actively stop Zuko from fighting:
(Image descriptions: Two nearly-identical shots of Iroh breaking up a fight between Zuko and another character, the Pirate Captain and Lieutenant Jee, respectively.)
He only fights when he has to, such as when the Earth Kingdom soldiers capture him in Winter Solstice. Even then, he uses his chains to disarm two of them and knock them unconscious (a waterbender technique btw) while Zuko takes out the third. By all accounts, Iroh is a pacifist during Book One. He’s certainly passive. I really think it’s because Lu Ten’s death (which, remember, only took place a few years prior) is still bothering him. Hence my original claim that Iroh’s essentially in a depressive state during Book One.
So, what happens?
Zhao happens.
This image has haunted me for a decade and a half:
(Image description: Iroh looking absolutely devastated.)
This is right after Zhao kills the Moon Spirit koi fish. Something about this has always gotten to me. It’s just so intense. It’s like you see this other side of Iroh that you had never seen before. (Remember, at this point, any viewers wouldn’t know about Lu Ten.) And what happens right after?
(Image descriptions: #1: Iroh attacking multiple soldiers. #2: General Zhao looking horrified. #3: A shot of Iroh standing over multiple bodies on the ground.)
Iroh starts actively attacking them all, to the point where Zhao backs away, horrified, because he’s never seen this side of Iroh. Neither has the audience. For the first time, Iroh is actively attacking someone, triggered by Zhao’s violence. I don’t know if it was just the cosmic stakes of the spirit being killed that triggered his anger, if it was the straw on the ostrich-horse’s back, if the way that the koi fish was killed was somehow reminiscent of Lu Ten’s death, or if it was a combination of reasons. Either way, Zhao snaps Iroh out of whatever passive funk he was in.
From that moment on, Iroh acts like a man who was a general for years. In the very first episode of Book Two (the next canonical episode), we see that Iroh doesn’t trust Azula and is on guard, even jaded:
(Image descriptions: Two shots of Iroh looking around suspiciously.)
Then, when it’s revealed that Azula had tricked them, Iroh wastes no time in attacking multiple guards:
(Image descriptions. #1: Iroh kicking a guard off the ship entrance. #2: Iroh firebending at three separate guards surrounding him.)
In a later episode, when Zuko thinks that Iroh’s going to say that he should be nice to Azula because she’s family, what does Iroh say, instead?
No. She’s crazy and she needs to go down.
This Iroh is a completely different person than the Iroh that we saw in Book One, because this Iroh has been snapped out of his depressed, passive, funk by the senseless act of violence that he witnessed. This Iroh is willing to fight and be an active participant in creating change. This Iroh is a General. This Iroh is the Dragon of the West. Incidentally, we see Iroh call himself that when he actively attacks a full room of Dai Li soldiers:
(Image description: Iroh breathing fire onto a room filled with soldiers.)
And we all know how fitting it is that Iroh is the one to liberate Ba Sing Se, but just think about the difference. The original Siege on Ba Sing Se took him 600 days, nearly two years, and he still wasn’t able to break through. In the final battle (albeit with a little help from the comet), Iroh was able to effectively create a fireball and blast through the wall in a single moment:
And that is my speculation…analysis…theory…thing of how Iroh went from being a fighter to being a depressed pacifist to being a better fighter, all in the background of a series that focuses on a dozen other well-rounded characters. It really is the show that keeps on giving…
Something important to point out- I'm assuming this man is from Canada since he mentions SIU Ontario. This is not a US only problem. We need to defund police everywhere. I've seen similar stories from other people. This is not an isolated problem
Update cause I found this thread on twitter:
Read this whole thing
The whole system is crooked everywhere
Most of the “keep up the work after the protests have ended!”-type posts I’ve seen are mostly focused on like, reading Black authors and listening to Black voices and unlearning racism, and obviously all of that is absolutely vital - but no amount of individual self-reflection will be able to dismantle institutional systems of oppression. So I wanted to put together some resources for continuing to build a culture of noncompliance and resistance to the police and prison system even after things have calmed down
Here are some other organizations to join that are doing good work in this area:
The police state and prison industrial complex rely on the complicity and cooperation of all of us to function and be effective. By building a culture of noncompliance and active resistance, we can drastically reduce the state’s ability to oppress communities of color. Don’t let the struggle be forgotten with the changing of the news cycle - keep up the struggle until all are free!
