a day late but it’s Modern AU and Family Drama (sorta) for @zukkaweek !!!

sokka brings zuko home to meet the family, forgetting they’re the most embarrassing people ever

[image ID: bato, hakoda, sokka, zuko, and katara stand behind a countertop or table with food on it, as though they were prepping food. they are all in modern attire. bato says, “remember when sokka interrupted our meeting with the elders to ask if he “wiped good?” hakoda says, “and when he hid all the dirty laundry under katara’s bed and said he’d done it?” sokka, grimacing and blushing with his face in his hand, says to zuko “PLEASE don’t listen to them.” his hand is on zuko’s shoulder. katara is standing with her arms crossed and a smirk, with a little “heh.” zuko, lastly, asks sokka “but DID you wipe good?” / end ID]

#my art #zukka week 2023 #zukkaweek2023 #coloring didn’t go as planned and also i somehow turned off the layer w the shading on the clothes but i’m too lazy to go thru the whole #saving process again haha #i’m in a rush ok! day two and i’m already a day behind smh smh #also.#those stories are my families stories #i was NOT the wipe good one. to clarify #i already regret the background color it was my fave of the ones i tried but. it reminds me of toothpaste pffjdhdj

I think my favorite aspect of the Hades II announcement is the idea that, somewhere in the underworld, a very thunderstruck Zagreus is demanding, "What do you MEAN, I have a sister?!"

#hades #hades 2 #hades ii #zagreus #melinoe #yep she's confirmed to be Melinoe #can't wait for those family conversations #my second favorite aspect of this announcement #is the fact that Zagreus' story was all Intimate Family Business #whereas Melinoe is out here to fuck up the Titans themselves #which I suppose is also Family Business #of a slightly higher order of magnitude in terms of Taking Care Of Shit

IAN GALLAGHER + his journey with bipolar disorder

╰┈➤ “At times, being bipolar can be an all-consuming challenge, requiring a lot of stamina and even more courage, so if you’re living with this illness and functioning at all, it’s something to be proud of, not ashamed of." - Carrie Fisher

#happy world bipolar day to all my bp babies #(more thoughts at the end of the tags)#shameless #shamelessnet #shamelessedit #ian gallagher #cameron monaghan #*macygifs #bipolar disorder #hello pals how are we doin #i made this gif set in july of 2023 and never posted it because 1) i was terrified to share it and potentially see Bad Takes in the tags #and 2) because my hyperfixation was waning. and while both of those things are still mostly true (the fixation comes and goes)#i feel like it's really important to share as ian's bipolar storyline was not only so vital to his character it was a bit of representation #that isn't often given to the disorder and those (like myself) who live with it every single day #world bipolar day is a day where we can both celebrate ourselves and our resilience and also raise awareness of the reality of the disorder #which is both terrifying and beautiful at its core. this disease is not a death sentence or a sentence to an unfulfilled and miserable life #while there are challenges galore when it comes to balancing life with this disorder it IS possible to live a full and productive life #and i think it's really important to have representation of that in media - and while shameless dropped the ball on a LOT of storylines #over the years THIS is the one they really fucking nailed and i am incredibly grateful #i first started watching shameless while in the midst of a major depressive episode and i was later (finally) diagnosed during an extended #hypo/manic episode - this show and ian's storyline got me through so much and made me feel so seen and validated in my struggles #world bipolar day is also vincent van gogh's birthday (happy birthday buddy) who was posthumously diagnosed with bipolar disorder #and who experienced both depressive and hypo/manic episodes during his lifetime (and was regularly institutionalized)#it takes a lot of help and support to keep us going. it takes the support of our family and friends and *most* of all #it takes patience and kindness and understanding - which is so so so easy to give if you are willing to love and listen #so please. be willing. listen to our stories. be patient with us. show us love without conditions. support us in any way you can.#we are worth it #i promise #anyway. that's really all i wanted to say. happy world bipolar day to those who celebrate (me) and may all of us living with this disorder #go on to live happy fulfilling beautiful magical lives

Being from the former Soviet Union is, when your parents gather with their old friends, they share memories and stories thqt start with, "Remember when we were 15 years old, in that labour camp, and they made us run several laps around the camp after the curfew time?"

Or your grandma gets sad because her grandfather ended up buried somewhere in a forest because her family had been banished from their village and had to live in a hut they had built themselves in a forest for years.

Or other memories of the relatives who died in multiple famines (most recent one being in 1946-1947, simply because the USSR refused to accept humanitarian aid from the West in the aftermath of WW2).

The USSR was not just a police state, it was a prison on itself.

#history #ussr #yes those are actual stories my my actual immediate family

I remember working with a family who had four children. Once the daughter began to speak English, she told me about their time in the refugee camp. She spoke of how one day her family woke up to the sound of crying. They looked outside their tent to find a baby boy in a basket. This family, who had essentially nothing, took him in. They named him Moses 🥺

#anyway its one of those stories that will live on in my heart #this family was jw so they were a little weird but god were their hearts so so good #their faith was truly inspiring ❤️#well loved in the community i was working in

These Nimona headcanons have been sitting in my notes for like two weeks

I just know Bal and Ambrosius were those kids who had to be put on opposite sides of the room in class

And a lot of teachers assumed that they would just give up and pay attention but no

They’re some stubborn little shits who can't leave each other alone for more than five minutes

And while they were on their breaks they went through the options of “long-distance” communication (because yes these dramatic dorks consider ten feet long distance)

Notes? No that could be tracked back to them

Sign language? No that's too noticeable

They finally landed on morse code (because these losers would rather learn a dead language than wait to talk to each other)

Now you might be thinking “Roo wouldn't Bal be too focused on the lesson to talk to Ambrosius?”

No this little nerd records all of their lessons so he won’t miss a single piece of information

After they became fluent the only thing you could hear in class was the teacher talking some tapping here and there and Ambrosius and Bal holding back laughter with every fiber in their being

I also know these dorks would choose each other for every single activity

It got to a point where teachers would beg them to choose other people

They would listen for like one day and then go back to working with each other

These losers have known each other for so long that they can read each other's minds

All they have to do is look at each other and they’re angry or laughing or blushing

When people point it out Ambrosius will say he doesn’t even notice it anymore

Bal will say it’s as natural as breathing

And Nimona calls it creepy as fuck

They could also fill a book with the most random inside jokes most of which they don’t even really remember the context of

The main trio are fiercely protective of each other

Bal only got into a handful of fights back in the institute and it was all because someone got a little too comfortable and started talking shit about Ambrosius

People lost count of how many fights that Ambrosius got into

After a while Bal stopped wasting his breath by begging Ambrosius just to ignore them and bought a cool quality medkit

The number of fights Bal got into skyrocketed after the wall fell

While the majority of society saw the trio as heroes there were still some who called Nimona a monster and Ambrosius a disgrace

And most of those people couldn’t say anything afterward because their jaws were broken

There was an incident in the market which was could be summed up as Ambrosius holding a man at knife point while threatening to cut his tongue out if he ever heard him call Bal a murderer again

After Nimona came back the fights increased tenfold

The first time Nimona and Ambrosius went to the market alone they came back bloody and bruised

It wasn’t until Bal checked the news that he found out those dorks started a fucking riot

There were also rumors that a man was missing a tongue but Bal hoped those were just rumors

One time the three of them went out to dinner and some dumbass tried to jump them

They claimed that it’s what Gloreth would have wanted

Bal had to drag Ambrosius off of him while Nimona was egging him on

The first time that Nimona and Bal kidnapped Ambrosius from his office was undeniably the worst

He hadn’t eaten or slept in days and he looked like he was ready to keel over

And a couple of people dared to try and stop them

Claiming Ambrosius “still had work to do”

Nimona looked them dead in the eyes and said “If you don’t let us walk out of here I’ll make sure you never walk again”

No one argued with them after that

Bal told Nimona he was proud of them for keeping their cool

And Nimona replied “Thanks but I definitely broke someone’s foot on the way out”

He couldn’t even get mad at her because he broke someone’s hand

Bal says they’re the reason he’s getting grays in his early 20s

To which Ambrosius responds “Moonbeam you came home yesterday with a broken nose and busted knuckles don’t talk to me about gray hair”

I see a lot of characters older than a teen protag slotted into dad/uncle roles in found family tropes but frankly when I was 15-18 if anybody wanted to parent me I would politely remove myself from the situation. n if they insisted I would probably bite

#like no I totally get it and it can make for a good story and when you just want that found family comfort #but also like idk. I think teenagers esp those used to being on their own are gonna be a lot more bitey about it #the specific dynamic of uhhh yea no this isn’t my dad he’s my coworker friend guy. yea like 20 years older than me yea #is also under appreciated and rather funny I think.#I think a lot of late teens too basically think of themselves as fully grown adults more or less & responsible for themselves #and the dynamic of ppl around them going ‘this is a child’ is also very funny #I still remember the shocked look on my coworkers faces when I said I’d just turned 18 lol. Very funny #even if they end up as a dad/uncle figure I think the fraught process in between reaching that point is also very fun to explore…#bytebun rambles #tropes

the doctor isnt neurodivergent or autistic or adhd or nonbinary or genderqueer or asexual. what the doctor is, is Not From Here

#which necessarily of course says something abt their (non)whiteness #(i had all these words in quotation marks first so mentally add those to whiteness too)#but we've them be black for all of 1.5 episode now so #lets see how that develops you know #also i dont think i understand the politics of that part well enough to say much abt it #not that i probably understand the politics of these parts better but #im annoyed enough abt this Thing happening these years. in these 20s i guess. the 'representation' thing #to complain abt it anyway #the dsm isnt real and it isnt gonna fuck you buddy #maybe i'll read some books and then one day i'll write an essay driven by spite and pettiness #i wonder if i can make the thesis statement about the tension between their status of main character #in a 60 year running family adventure show vs this therapy thing we're doing now #like. you cant do that. in terms of like. what story is and does. what a character is and does. it strains #in an interesting way. like im not saying they Shouldnt have done it. im just observing. that you cant do that really. i think #or maybe you can! but i'll find that out #i also dont know shit abt narratology or whatever so. need to read books first. sigh #always have to pause my thoughts to read myself in first its so annoying. esp bc i rarely really do #bc then new thoughts new things to do you cant do EVERYTHING. you can do almost nothing. bane of my existence really #but like you might even be able to say smth interesting here about whether you can call them traumatised at all #remember that article i saw around on tumblr a few years ago i think that was abt like. some scholar in the middle east maybe #saying that ptsd is a western thing bc it necessitates a Post #all of this is western. psychiatry is western. its all stories. how you conceptualise trauma is a story #whos Other is story #where youre from is a story what you stand for is a story who you are is a story #ah. checked the article. dr samah jabr. palestinian. i'll start with her book maybe

all this christian warriors talk reminds me of that one tumblr user who didnt/couldnt? listen to music as a child so they imagined warrior cats amvs to the church hymns

Iirc that person would nod off in church and imagine AMVs to the hymns, it wasn't that they were banned from music

But that happens too. Raise your hand if you ever had a family member freak out when they learned about something magic/satanic/heretical about some kind of media you were interested in 🖐

#I felt incredibly self conscious about liking dragons as a kid because Ex-Family Member would stress their innate evilness #So I had these big stories about My Good Christian dragons atoning for that sin lmao #Also any goats and snakes. Wasn't really allowed to be positive about those around her #And unicorns. Weirdly enough #Religious talk #Bone babble

I want to stay optimistic, but I don't have much faith that the HOTD writers will go through with any of the messages in the Dance aside from misogyny. Obviously, misogyny plays a big role in the Dance because it is the means to and end for the Greens, but the way the show focuses on this to favor Rhaenyra's claim and rule and this sort of diminishes the complexity of the story. By making it so that one side rightful, righteous, chosen by some divine powers, etc., etc. and one side that is perverse and corrupted and only there for greed, it takes away from one of the most important lessons in the Dance: Targaryens are not a divine superior race that should be exempt from the rage of common men that suffer at the cost of them.

(Also, ik ambition was a major motivator for the Greens in the books, but the books didn't try to frame Rhaenyra's right to the throne as God-given)

You might have already guessed, but the part of the dance I anticipated the most was Targaryens who perceive themselves to be divine and superior take the realm to shit fighting over a throne that neither of them actually deserve. They fight at the cost of everything and lose everything for a throne that neither of them keep for long because they are both inadequate rulers that rely heavily on their respective councils. When they make decisions on their own, their nearly equal incompetence shows because Aegon's choices are emotional and stupid and Rhaenyra's are paranoid and stupid. These are the people that cause the death of the dragons.

It feels like the show is trying to appeal to those stans that bend over backwards to defend their fave tyrants and believe the throne is a rightful possession of the Targaryens.

#this is not me dismissing misogyny #i acknowledge that its important #i just think making rhaenyra a divinely chosen ruler that was unfairly usurped doesnt do the narrative any favors #this is one of those posts where you can tell which characters i favor😭#alicent hightower #anti targaryen #team green #pro team green #most pro team green post ive made actually #aegon ii targaryen #targtowers #also aegon chose to usurp the throne for his and his familys life in the books #whereas he ran away in the show #and aegon was introduced to the story as a child rapist as per mushrooms tales??#thats another post tho #i dont claim to be morally right btw #greens are my guilty pleasure😞#especially my glorious emerald jade adamite malachite nephrite queen and pookie bear snookums

We see him come and know him ours

Russia: "Carol of the Russian Children," traditional // Kenya: The Nativity, Elima Njau // France: "Bring a Torch, Jeanette Isabella," Nicolas Saboly // Haiti: Madonna and Child, Ismael Saincilus // Australia: "The Three Drovers," William James // China: Tryptic by Lu Hongnian // Canadian/Algonquian: "Huron Carol," Jean de Brébeuf

#the visual depictions are lovely #but what really gets me every time are the little cultural details in the music #music that tells the story of the Nativity while placing it in a world that's familiar to the listener #fur robed moujiks on snowboard plateaus in place of middle eastern shepherds #bark lodges instead of stables and rabbit skin in place of swaddling clothes #wandering hunter and chiefs from far off places instead of shepherds and wise men (man i love the Huron Carol)#and little french girls running to gather the village to come see Jesus #it's easy for an excess of historical concern to make Jesus feel distant and far off #/I know/ that Jesus was born in the ancient near east and have had my fill of books and sermons and the like unpacking the implications #I've laughed with my friends and family at the wild inaccuracies of Nativity sets and tellings #the crazy blonde mary in the kids nativity set at Walmart #what is that alpaca doing at the living Nativity don't they know those are south American?#yada yada #and then i look at these carols and think. it's okay not to get mired in the history. good even #yes Jesus entered into time and space in a very specific manner #but he also came for all of us #as another carol says: we see him come and know him ours #i just think this practice is lovely #that the impact of the Incarnation was such that it send little french girls running to their villages #and drew algonquin hunters and russian peasants to the manger to see him #it's the great crowd of witnesses in a way #all of us together preparing him room throughout all the corners of the earth #in Bethlehem that night it was only the shepherds who got to see him #but in spirit it was all of us #because it's just like the angel said:#good news of great joy which will be to all people #to all people #starting with the shepherds and going out to all the earth #unto us a child is born #intertextuality

I’ve been so caught up thinking about the fight sequences and the animation styles and the writing and the antics aand the everything about Spy Family Code White that I forgot about the Ferris wheel. Oh my god oh my god oh my god the Ferris wheel.

#spy x family #spy family code white #spy family #spy x family code white #babbling and spoilers beware:#LIKE???????? that was so intense in the best way #my man got on his KNEES. ON HIS KNEES. and said no stop my oh need to hear this.#you need to hear that you matter and that I chose you and made a promise to you #that you are a mother and a fantastic one and our lives are better with you in them #he got on his knees and skipped past proposing and said let me restate my wedding vows #and I genuinely think if he had been allowed to keep going he would have told her he loves her and wants her to stay.#bc my dude had MOMENTUM and just kept going. he showed no sign of stopping.#he started yammering about how wonderful his wife is and couldn’t physically stop #he won’t admit it to himself but he loves his family so much #he won’t admit it to himself but the moment either of them starts to doubt that they are cared for he will drop everything and remind them #fuck I love spy family it’s so good #I’m so excited for more #I should read the manga finally #ALSOOOOOOO #The cute little teaser at the end that was like ah well time for a family trip this time to the south!!!#LIKE PLEAASSEEEE CAN I GET A BEACH EPISODE #A BEACH MOVIE IF YOU WILL #I want Spy Family Movies like Hercule Poireaut stories. throw those guys in an episodic mystery or mission for 90 minutes and give me 46 plz

Wednesday just grew out her hair but I'm working on another lookbook and this hair is making thinking about having her cut again ;-;

#TBD #It is kinda giving mom #or it's giving my mom #when my mom was pregnant with my brother #And I am planning some posts #got one in the drafts thats done #thats more of the girls' day to day #because I want to get back into doing more story driven content #along side all the other random stuff I posts #and expanding the family and aging up Drew #would be in those plans #Story content is such an iffy thing to post #so I have gotten into the habit of not posting it #but that's really would I enjoy most
