"In our darkest hour, in my deepest despair, will you still care? Will you be there? In my trials and my tribulations; through our doubts and frustrations; in my violence, in my turbulence; through my fear and my confessions; in my anguish and my pain; through my joy and my sorrow; in the promise of another tomorrow. I'll never let you part, for you're always in my heart." - Michael Jackson // Hi! I like music (especially rock, metal, classical, & epic), books, shows, movies, anime, comics, science, humanities, arts, & progressive politics. @ClarissaDeLune on Twitter. she/they

Show Nynaeve, maximum braid <3 The book version definitely speaks to the determined and lovingly combative image I always had of the character, but this one I think is my favorite of the ones I've done so far and I really loved the braid-of-braids style they gave her on the show. Like, "this character's braid is iconic, you say? Hold our beer."

How terminally online antis think IRLies react to me liking enemies-to-lovers: EWWWWWWWW YOU'RE A GENOCIDAL COLONIALIST RACIST DOMESTIC ABUSE APOLOGIST NAZI WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU YOU FREAK

Actual IRLie of mine 1: Zutara is the ship I never knew I needed, just like Dramione

IRLie 2: Hello Clarissa! How's it going with your 'falling in love with the wrong person' ships?

IRLie 3: You like redemption arcs? I think this cartoon about demons getting redeemed in a hotel in hell is just your thing!

IRLie 4: Namor was eNAMORado with Shuri in Wakanda Forever 🥁

the anti-Zutara criticism that “Zutara shippers are teenage girls who only like the ship because they self-insert as Katara” is actually so funny because how does that delegitimize the ship? So…girls who relate to Katara like Zuko, and they think Katara would like Zuko, and that’s bad because…girls are wrong? Girls are shallow? Girls don’t know what’s good for them? Anyway if I were a grown ass man who created a fictional teenage girl that lots of real teenage girls relate to, and these girls believe she would like character B instead of character A, I hope I’d have the humility to say to myself “hmm I wonder why people who relate to this character’s feelings and motivations think she would react this way” instead of jumping straight to “these girls are doomed to like toxic relationships”

(And I know Zutara shippers like the ship for many different reasons, and self-insert is not the most popular by a long shot, I’m just saying that the criticism of self-insert stems from dismissal of what teenage girls like, and that feels kinda misogynistic to me)

Oh, absolutely. And the irony is that anyone who refuses to consider the perspective of a teenage girl is already self-inserting. KA is written in a way that we are meant to project onto Aang and see Katara the way he wants to see her.

young girls relating to katara and wanting her to be with zuko is weird but two grown ass men projecting onto their 12 yo main character and having him date the girl they liked is totally normal????

K'ataang is, in my opinion, the real self-insert:
