Do you get the impression the live action is treating us like utter morons?? Like I thought that making it aimed at an older audience would open the doors for more subtle story telling, but no, they're just using monologues to tell us eveything! Like in the second episode Katara's like 'oh his power isn't that he's the avatar, it's that he ~connects~ to people'. Girl we're not idiots we can see that!! And the first episode with Aang's goddawful 'I don't want this responsibility' monologue
THIS, YES. The word that keeps coming to mind is definitely "subtlety". The show for literal children? Had it. The remake for adults? Not so much.

spare crumb of hibs and shiv ?
hey look its all of them because im really nice (but actually its YOU ALL who are really nice. you guys are being enormously kind about fandom baby ily)
important 2 me that hibs was formula-fed by tom or primarily a rotating staff of nannies but every time tom fed hibs he would anxiously, rapidly murmur about how formula feeding has observable adverse effects on a child's development and health. if shiv is there she gets on her phone because she just cannot listen to that
here's a shiv diary section that makes me want to scream

When I went to university, there was a guy a year or so above me who was famous across the whole department because he was super nice, super gorgeous, and went jogging regularly while shirtless and wearing very tiny very short bright red shorts. And so everyone called him Beautiful Dave. Genuinely! Not an insult in the slightest. He was Beautiful and people needed to know!
And listen. LISTEN. That's Steve.
Hot college student who loves to get up early and go jogging shirtless and in his old basketball shorts.
Him, Robin, and Eddie all move up to Chicago together. Robin studies languages, Steve studies to be a paramedic or a physical therapist or something, Eddie fucks around and gets a job bc he has had enough of academia. They all get a shitty apartment near their college campus together and Steve finds he likes academia a lot more when it's something he cares about. He joins the swim team, he makes friends, and he finds out one day that people have started referring to him as Beautiful Steve.
He worries at first that it's another King Steve thing, but it's not! People genuinely think he's absolutely beautiful and super nice and friendly. And so he kind of... goes along with it. He'll go jogging in his short shorts and people will greet him as Beautiful Steve and he responds with a smile and a wave.
Robin and Eddie find out while on campus one day when a group of people call him Beautiful Steve and he responds. Steve tells them that people started calling him that and It's the best day of their lives. Because that's their Steve! Their Steve is Beautiful Steve!! And they're nice about it because I want fluff and silly happiness and people are too mean to Steve
MOMO I CANT COPE. YOU ARE TRULY WIRED DIRECTLY TO THE SOURCE
Robin and Eddie FULL SCALE endorsing beautiful Steve!!! They get so into it they get the student to eventually treat him like a cryptid in that there’s sticks and badges of ‘I believe in beautiful Steve’ and it’s over a pair of illustrated red shorts. It’s a fun way of making some side income for them all and Steve gets a kick out of it.
Campus legend Beautiful Steve but it never becomes a creepy or uncomfortable thing. Everyone just enjoying what has organically grown from it all. He ends up as a ‘wheres Wally’ situation on the campus brochure. Never centre stage, always in the background and happily so.
He goes out on placement for his course and get a warm welcome on his return. Getting nods and waves and feeling like he has a Place here in his own way. Eddie and Robin observing it all and delighting at the smile it brings to Steve’s face every time. He may be Beautiful Steve to the uni but he’s Their Steve first and he won’t let them forget that

"Back then, when I was admitted to elementary, I realized there was something different about me, and was doomed to keep pretending to be the role assigned to me. The moment I transformed into the Pink, I was able to be true to myself, screaming out loud, defying the doomed fate, that's what it felt like...I think the last time I got this kind of feeling was when I came out to you, that even though I was born a male, I've always identified myself as a girl. Back in eighth grade, remember? Nowadays it's better known as being transgender. Thank you for accepting me for who I am."

Seals are absolutely adorable! Look how cute they are when leisurely swimming around. A little chubby though they may appear, in the water, they are as free as the birds above."

Hello!!! Sorry it's been so long! But I'm back and I'm having thoughts about Eddie getting into Steves interests bc that never fails to get me
Eddie, in the back of one of his dnd notebooks has a section dedicated to Steves sport teams and all his favourite players. That the Indiana Pacers is a basketball team and the Chicago Cubs and the Chicago Bears are two different teams apparently? Making note of how the Indianapolis Colts moved in the middle of the night which he is very tempted to use in a campaign.
Steve complains to Eddie once, that there's a game he's been really wanting to watch but can't. His parents are having some of their friends over for dinner and his mom is taping one of her shows. Eddie says he can come over and watch it with him if he wants? And Steve's face lights up.
And Eddie doesn't know shit about sports, it'll never be one of his interests but fuck if he doesn't love the way Steve looks so happy when he explains to him the rules, or when he stands up off the couch when the ref makes a bad call.
You just know that Eddie is sitting there with the biggest heart eyes
HELP THIS IS SO SWEET.
Eddie offering Steve to come over and watch and speeding home to ask Wayne everything he possibly can about the nights game. He’d ask Wayne to stay for moral support but he’s got a back shift so will have to listen on the radio.
He sits eddie down before he goes though, giving him a quick fire round of questions on Sports™️. To both of their surprise Eddie aces it, turns out he can study pretty well when it’s Steve Harrington’s affection on the line.
Wayne leaves and between his departure and Steve’s arrival eddie has written a litany of reminders all of his hand and forearm in case his brain short circuits (it’s been known to happen when he Steve gets loud and excited in his vicinity).
So Steve arrives and Eddie manages to play it cool. That is until Steve grabs his forearm from where they are sitting side by side on the couch. Apparently it’s a particular tense moment in the game, it passes with Steve groaning and rubbing his hands together infront of his face. And leaves eddie with a completely smudged arm, Steve’s hands with ink on them which he spots because of course he does. Raising an eyebrow and staring at his palms he lets out a ‘what the fuck?’ And turns to look at Eddie for help in his confusion.
And of course, Eddie tries to play it cool, shrugs in am ‘I dunno’ expression that means his forearm is raised and Steve zeros in on the inky mess of his arm. Eddie is caught like a dear in the headlights and the whole thing dissolves into laughter and blushing from both parties. Steve ends up leaving his hand on Eddie’s arm because ‘hey it’s smudged anyway, right?’ And both of them are smiling to themselves for the rest of the game.
