to be honest there has never been a fictional character i’ve actually wanted to date. like. i want them to date each other. i don’t want myself as a person to be involved in this scenario whatsoever. what would i add to this narratively? what’s my thematic purpose in the narrative? immersion breaking.
don’t hide this in the tags that’s exactly it
not my best, but cheers to my first successful drawing in over 2 years
the reference. the drawing.
do you ever notice how willow sometimes has that cute emotionless and somewhat ominous smile plastered on her face when she's in the background? i wonder what she is thinking when she is smiling like that.
=)
Yes I know exactly what you mean, this is my favourite example.
There is NOTHING in this bitch's head rn

Y'all really need to stop calling Azula a child soldier.
Even if any of the characters in atla could be said to be child soldiers (and they cannot), Azula would not be one. Child soldiers end up in the military because they literally have nowhere else to go, they often are victims of extreme poverty and depravation or trafficked. Azula is the princess of a conquering, powerful nation. Even without her bending, she is more powerful than most adults in that setting. She has power over her own soldiers and she uses that power to mistreat them. She is not like child soldiers in the real world, who are victims of extreme exploitation in addition to having their childhood stolen. It doesn't just mean a person under eighteen fighting in a war, and even if it did it would not apply to fantasy cartoon characters who can bend elements, and even less to a character who is royalty in her nation and considered a martial arts master with enough power to conquer an impenetrable city, and making that comparison is extremely insensitive. Don't do it.
for the prompt game, here’s what i got for ya: zuko telling really dumb or corny jokes to katara, thinking they are so clever and funny. katara just thinks zuko is adorable for thinking the jokes are funny.
(the fact that this is lowkey canon…)
Sokka didn't get it. For years, his sister had been unimpressed with his comedic stylings. She never missed an opportunity to try to convince Sokka he wasn't as hilarious as he knew he was. So why was she now doubled over laughing at Zuko's jokes, with his half remembered set-ups and flat punchlines. And why were Suki and Toph observing them with such smug smiles?
Is the story where Katara and Zuko are engaged / aang owns a pet grooming business /he kisses her and tried to confront at Toph’s bar complete ? I love that story !
It sure is! It was a Christmas special. You can read Hallmarks of the Season here
Katara calming Zuko down when they have a bad dream
Or
Zuko and Katara getting sick at the same time.
His nightmares were rarely straightforward. Sometimes the moments of his worst traumas looped through his mind over and over; sometimes he dreamed of past or future events ending in the worst possible way; sometimes he was in his father's grasp, struggling for breath as his throat constricted and the world went black; sometimes he was his father. The one thing that remained constant was how impossible it was to wake himself, even when he was aware he was dreaming.
He used to wake up from those nightmares tangled in his sheets from trying to fight his way back to consciousness. Now, though...
Zuko woke to an arm wrapped firmly around his midsection. His wife curled around him protectively from behind. Once his heart stopped thudding in his chest, he could feel the even rise and fall of her chest against his back. His nightmare faded until all he was left with was the weak impression of having been afraid. Katara took a deep breath and nuzzled his neck.
"You alrigh'?" she asked sleepily. Zuko turned over so he could pull her closer. He kissed her forehead and smiled into her hair.
"Never better," he said.
I already did sick at the same time. Here it is!
Your prompt: Katara telling Zuko a dumb joke just to see their smile.
Today had sucked. Zuko had hoped that by the third year of ruling the Fire Nation, he'd be able to handle long days of meetings with people who wanted him to fail without wanting to put his head through a wall. At least he had stopped lashing out during meetings. All he wanted now was to retreat to his office and not speak to anyone for the next...forever.
"Hey Zuko." Zuko sighed. He wasn't unhappy to see Katara, exactly. In fact, he was always happy to see his best friend, but today, he just wanted to sulk.
"Hey," he said, giving her a half-hearted wave. Katara pursed her lips and put her hands on her hips.
"You look pissed" she said. "Do I need to fight someone?" It was a dumb joke, but it made Zuko laugh in spite of his bad mood, which in turn caused Katara to smile. Maybe, he thought, the day hadn't been so bad after all.
i come from the 8tracks generation where you weren’t allowed to just dump three and a half twee indie folk/tswift records into a fanmix and call it done. on 8tracks you had 8+ handpicked songs in rigid chronological order and an accompanying mission statement and thesis defence detailing exactly why each one applied to your derek x stiles coffee shop au AND cover/track-list art hodgepodged from stolen pinterest/tumblr aesthetic photography, and all of this was done under constant threat of death because it was the DMCA wild west and the site was in a constant state of gradual collapse.
This won’t make your blog look ugly. How could you not reblog this? REBLOGGING THIS COULD SAVE A LIFE!!!
This goes for assholes, too, guys. I know a couple who went tubing once, and they had to re-air their tubes, but the guy thought it would be funny to stick the tip of the air compressor up to her bikini trunks, the air ruptured something inside her and she died within thirty minutes.
WHAT?
The thing about this? It’s in every pregnancy book I’ve read.
WHAT?????
Why is it in pregnancy books but not sex ed books?
Because the men in charge only care about the health and safety of women in so far as it enables them to have babies.
Reblogging with a link because I thought this was a legit joke. Never heard it before. Like I knew you could kill a person by inserting air into a vein but still.
WHAT THE FUCL I hate how I didn’t learn this in sex Ed AT ALL
This is very true lol
Yo what the f u c k
not the normal stuff i’d reblog but, uh, this is kinda??? heckin???? important?????
I feel like I first saw this in The Joy of Sex, but it’s definitely a thing.
What the fuck
i-
….thank you tumblr??
hm.
I legit thought this was a shitpost until I saw the rest of the comments
I first saw this in The Joy of Sex, too.
Well I never
As a general rule of thumb, do not push air into any bodily orifice, regardless of gender. It never ends well. Air compressors and the human body do NOT mix.
Not even the mouth, shit can rupture a lung.
……… What did I just read……. 😭💔💔💔
i learned this from a dave barry column
Y'all please inflation isn’t real. Don’t try to loony tunes your fuckbuddy.

A lot of ships have this problem where fans focus on what the guy deserves and how “getting the girl” will make him happy, but people seem to consistently not care of a relationship is good for the girl.
Sometimes I think about how Azula and Zuko were both sent on quests that should've been impossible to complete.
The avatar was supposed to be dead. Zuko very easily kept on going, looking for something that never was there, becoming more and more frustrated in the process
And Azula, sent to capture Iroh, who is genuinely a terrifying and capable fighter with more powerful allies than Azula could ever dream of. A fourteen year old against a trained man at least three times her age.
Except that the odds were very obviously more stacked against Zuko. Ozai didn't expect him to actually accomplish capturing the Avatar, whereas he did expect Azula to succeed in capturing Iroh, and she actually does. Zuko is sent out after being banished, burned, and humiliated and told he has to "regain his honor," whereas Azula is given every resource and sent out proud to accomplish the task Ozai wanted her to complete.
Iroh is a capable fighter but he's also in exile with Zuko and considered disgraced and when Azula comes after him, he's lost most of his resources while she is the one with the army, and she nearly traps him and Zuko the first time they fight and they literally have to fight their way out. The next time they meet, she nearly kills Iroh. Iroh and Zuko are then forced to go into hiding in Ba Sing Se to avoid her, and she confronts them there and does capture Iroh.
Ozai sending Zuko on an impossible task with no hope of completing it is not really comparable at all.
Also, the main reason Iroh gave Azula the trouble he did is because she constantly underestimates him, but when it comes to raw resources and power she definitely has the advantage. Azula also uses Iroh's love for and need to protect Zuko against him multiple times and that's also the reason she's able to capture him.
Azula is not the victim of big bad Iroh, lol, and this is not comparable to Ozai deliberately sending Zuko out on an impossible task as a punishment.
Azula also has the freedom to accomplish Ozai's task any way she wants with the knowledge that she will be welcomed back as a hero, as shown by her bringing Zuko back as an ally instead of a prisoner as Ozai ordered, whereas Zuko is afraid of not following Ozai's orders to the letter, because he knows that Ozai didn't expect him to succeed.
Not only is this post belittling Ozai's abuse of Zuko by trying to make it seem like Azula being sent out with Ozai's blessing, resources, and expectation of succeeding is the same thing as Zuko being sent out as a punishment, wounded, humiliated, and expected to fail; it also tries to make it seem like Azula attacking Iroh was somehow hurting her, when she hurts Iroh repeatedly. Iroh's age or his capability as a general matter less because not only does he not have Azula's resources, he also does not have Azula's ruthlessness and is in a position where he is trying to protect Zuko and is fighting from a defensive position, whereas she is the aggressor.
WHY THEY STRIKE: Ke Huy Quan (SAG), 2023 Winner of the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in Everything Everywhere All At Once
Roughly 87% of members earn less than the minimum requirement of $26,000 yearly, making them ineligible for health coverage through the union. The studios' refusal to pay union members a living wage and share their streaming revenues via residuals has made this a difficult ask for performers nationwide. For reference, "in most jobs, that [amount] would be considered a part-time job," according to SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher.
