A small theory about why Pink left Spinel (related to her character)

many of her lines mentions about how much she hated her past-herself-

(about how she talks to Pearl that she wants to forget all of her life before Rose, or telling Greg that it’s good to not know much of her, etc..) 

and Spinel has a lot in common with her…. maybe Pink saw herself through Spinel, a part of herself she always wanted to forget and destroy….

Anime is anime. Does spaghetti stop being spaghetti because the Chinese chef at a New York restaurant wasn’t born and raised in Italy? Does Nujabes (RIP) stop being Hip Hop because he wasn’t born & raised in the South Bronx? These arbitrary, mutually agreed upon rules we create for ourselves to protect our identities, or our heroic image of ourselves, which I believe is what this is really about, are attached to these creative bodies of work that enables this defensive behavior. Depending on whom you talk to, “Anime” means one thing or another. “アニメ” (Anime) is just a Japanese short word for “アニメーション” (animation). It doesn’t stop being a Japanese word because a handful of passionate, keyboard gatekeepers refuse to acknowledge the Japanese language (due to decades of exposure to westernized descriptors from early journalists & licensors who marketed it as exotic) by “Othering” the Japanese word.” Full Forbes Article Here

Nice to meet you! I’m S.A.M that’s short for Special Associate Model from the kingdom of Botica… which I’m sure you know is very far from here.

So it turns out one problem with the viewership on The Dragon Prince is that ATLA fans, when meeting Aaron Ehasz, often say they didn’t even know he was working on TDP.

Heck, the head writer on Avatar: The Last Airbender has co-created a show on the same level as ATLA and no one seems to know.

So this is a message to all Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra fans. Aaron Ehasz, the previous head writer on ATLA, is the co-creator of The Dragon Prince (AND co-founder of Wonderstorm, a new animation company), a netflix original that is every bit as genius as ATLA.

The only problem? Netflix never advertises it and it’s constantly carrying around the threat of being cancelled. Not because it’s a bad show, but because no one even knows it exists.

The show has a vibe extremely similar to ATLA, with the opening being accompanied by “previously on...”, a similar style of humor, and one of the main trip being voiced by the same actor who voiced Sokka. Even in the first episode it’s hard not to tell that it’s created by the same person. The characters are extremely diverse, with different races, different disabilities, different sexualities, etc. There’s a blind pirate, a deaf general (whom is our queen and we whorship accordingly), lesbian queens, gay elves, characters working to overcome toxic families, etc.

The main antagonist? I still have no idea. The line between “good” and “evil” is so blurred that even though there’s a war, it’s impossible to choose which side is right and which is wrong. The man who’s originally seen as an antagonist,,,,, we don’t even know if he’s in the wrong or not anymore.

The animation is a little wonky in the first season, sure, but they saw the complaints and changed it accordingly. Heck, even with the animation the way it is every single frame looks like a painting, and you become so engulfed in the story you hardly notice what might’ve bothered you in the first episode.

Fjdkkdkdkf i maybe rambled a little to much, but listen—

If you miss ATLA, and want to support those who created that iconic show, watch The Dragon Prince on Netflix. It’s so rare to get a show like this, and I really hope we’ll be able to see it through to the end.
