Do you ever think about how 1 of the 1st waterbending moves that Katara learns, that she doesn’t come up with herself, is the water whip that she learns from that waterbending scroll, which also happens to be 1 of the final moves that she uses against Azula, using that move to manoeuvre Azula into a place more favourable for Katara??

Do you ever think about how in that same episode that Katara learns that, Sokka tries to steer a boat, and laments how he doesn’t know how, because that boat wasn’t made by The Southern Water Tribe, and then, later, steers an entire Fire Nation war balloon with precision and intent, and knows how to destroy them effectively and efficiently, while also being a co-inventor of the inspiration invention of those Fire Nation war balloons??

Do you ever think about how, when face-to-face with The Avatar in the Avatar State, after repeatedly threatening to imminently kill that Avatar like the other Air Nomads, Ozai’s 1st move is to firebend directly towards Aang’s left side of his face, the exact same spot that Zuko has his scar on??

Do you ever think about how Zuko was challenged to his 1st Angi Kai due to his desire to protect people being unnecessarily put in harms way, and his final Angi Kai was ended due to the same reason??

Tatiana Maslany wearing a shirt that says ‘SUPPORT TRANS FUTURES’ on it to promote She-Hulk for Marvel Studios and Disney, and therefore forcing them to have that on their social medias for the world to see, including who knows how many queer kids and their guardians, is fucking awesome and I thank her for that.

what many people do not understand is that buffy summers is THE genre tv show lead. every quippy lead that came after her WISHES they had her depth and charisma and sense of humour

The reason Spuffy manage to serve while being a ship with two blondes is that a) such a toxic freakshow (affectionate) in other ways it cancels that out b) she’s more dirty to medium blonde and he’s freakplatinum so there’s some contrast

i unapologetically, unironically love crush. like it tries so hard to be anti-spuffy but david fury was a FOOL to think that the line "I'm drowning in you, Summers" wasn't going to irreparably alter my brain chemistry. that Spike almost falling over himself to open a door for Buffy wasn't going to make me positively unhinged.

literally the only thing i don't like about this episode is fury patronising the audience with his ham-handed, puritanical Hunchback analogy.

but it's fine, 'cause buffy didn't do the reading.

Phil Ochs and Buffy Sainte-Marie

it is a little bit wild that by virtue of ats s5 being the last canon tv installment of the buffyverse, spike and angel's arcs culminate in... each other. like spike isn't allowed to rest after his sacrifice because the network needs to pull more viewers his new hero status has to be put to the test against angel. angel can't comfortably rest on his laurels as the vampire with the soul because spike is there. their arcs with buffy shape them into the people they eventually become, but canon deliberately leaves the future of those relationships ambiguous! ats is where they go to figure out how to lead lives without buffy but with the other vampire-with-a-soul in them. and i don't even mean this in the way where spike/angel is somehow more meaningful or romantically endgame than their other relationships, i just mean like... those two old dudes are never gonna escape each other, for better or for worse. like there's literally a whole prophecy to that effect. wild stuff.

I ship and let ship but just know I do block biles when I go into the tag

hmmm yeah. i think cordelia saw buffy and thought she was cool, she saw her as probably another popular, snobby and shallow girl like her friends. but she stood up to her and ultimately chose willow, therefore seeing through cordelia's facade, and i think that ultimately that's why cordelia ultimately keeps seeking her out later on (intentionally or not). she says it herself, she's surrounded by people but lonely because no one actually cares, it's all a cesspool of backstabbing, etc, but somehow in all of that, buffy is real.

Azula was probably lying when she was stalling Sokka during that Eclipse. Those Kyoshi Warriors are smart enough to not expose how close their relationship with Team Avatar actually is, and Suki definitely wouldn’t be lamenting about Sokka rescuing her to her captors. Sokka is from The Southern Water Tribe, and has been travelling with Aang. The odds on Sokka knowing somebody who was captured by The Fire Nation are extremely high. Azula probably made up a fake prisoner, kept those details extremely vague, and then kept absolutely fucking silent, and then let Sokka’s imagination, and his fear, fill in the rest of that.

At what point do you reckon Angel or Spike realised that they can appear in photographs?

In Season 3, on Buffy’s 18th Birthday, her mother gets kidnapped and the vampire who did that took hundreds, maybe thousands of polaroids, and he himself shows up in some of them, so it’s confirmed as canon that vampires can show up in at least some forms of photography.

Do you reckon that maybe the Fanged Four at some point got together, ate a photographer, and took a photo of themselves altogether? I wonder how long it’d take for news to spread that vampires can appear in photographs.

Maybe it also depends on the type of photograph it is, for example just because they can appear in polaroids doesn’t mean that they’d show up on an iphone selfie, or maybe that doesn’t matter that much. That old myth that vampires don’t show up in mirrors I think was based on the fact that old mirrors were made with silver, which was also linked with repelling or harming supernatural or mythical creatures, but in BTVS, Angel’s reflection doesn’t show up in a window, which is just a piece of glass, so maybe that material doesn’t really matter that much, and that similar logic might translate to photographs.

I reckon that once they figured it out, they might start to use photos in an attempt to replace or replicate mirrors, as best as they can. Angel, who clearly has a lot of thoughts and strong feelings about his hair, might have a secret polaroid camera that he uses nearly daily to check his hair before he goes out. Spike might take selfies to test out different eyeliner looks. Harmony would probably love snapchat and instagram filters.

Congrats to the winners of round 4! still collecting propaganda for the semifinals and finals!

ok but this is so cute

buffy is the most special girl in the world. literally the chosen one and so clever and funny and strong and everyone loves her but no one wants to be her because the writers have decided to make her suffer in every way imaginable because they hate feminism and women
