Today in needlessly inflammatory statements: more so even than Harry Potter, I’m most frequently tempted to say “please for the love of God consume other media” to people talking about ATLA and Discworld.

(For sake of clarity: both Avatar and Pratchett’s novels are genuinely good and worth watching/reading. I just find that in both cases substantial swathes of their fandoms talk about them as if everything you need to know about fiction, art, and life itself can be found within them. And, well, no.)

“this is just like what Obi-Wan said in Star Wars, or for that matter what Don Fabrizio said in The Leopard.”

“now imagine if this happened in Hogwarts! or even better, Gormenghast!”

“if Toph was the child in Omelas she would simply bust her way out.”

you don’t walk away from Omelas, you run, because you know what she has in store for those who stick around

did you just make a post lamenting that people make everything about ATLA about ATLA

Local and federal authorities have shut down what seems to be an illegal medical lab hidden in a California warehouse that contained nearly 1,000 laboratory mice, hundreds of unknown chemicals, refrigerators and freezers, vials of biohazardous materials, including blood, incubators, and at least 20 infectious agents, including SARS-CoV-2, HIV, and a herpes virus.

uhh what

I am so genuinely happy G-Witch brought in more queer people into the Gundam community, this is the kind of insanely hyperfixated microanalysis I’ve always wanted.
