me trying not to smile from the fanfic i just read

he’s a little upset

this au is just writing itself at this point

Fandoms being all appalled when the punk male characters from media have the weirdgirls as their love interests is peak comedy to me.When we(punk dudes)say we love girls who're freaks,most of us don't mean whatever mind in the gutter shit y'all got going on,we mean 'autistic and can't mask to save her fucking life'

Tom Holland and Zendaya gives me strong kataang vibes🤍

grumpy x sunshine pairings are superior.

also, i don't know how many more parallels i can take, like your honor, have zutara kiss already.

FIRESTAR NATIONCO

as many criticisms i have of mai as a character, i really disagree with the idea that her “just letting” azula stop the trade for tom tom shows that she doesn’t care about him or that she’s not afraid of azula. i actually find this to be the moment i feel the most sympathy for mai in the entire series.

don’t get me wrong—i don’t think she originally joined azula out of fear; i think she was more or less being honest when she said she would do anything to get out of omashu because she was bored.

but when azula halts the exchange and compromises tom tom’s safety, something shifts. the music becomes really tense. mai’s expression doesn’t change, but she takes a beat too long to answer, she looks to where sokka is holding tom tom, and then she agrees with azula anyway.

it wasn’t enough for azula for mai to join her because she wanted to—azula wanted mai to join her on her terms and to know that she held all the cards, that she could decide a trade for mai’s brother wasn’t worth giving up bumi as a prisoner and mai couldn’t say anything about it without risking treason.

and this is the moment i think is supposed to show that mai now understands the danger she actually is in, similar to the close-up of ty lee’s face at the circus as azula insists the net be set on fire and wild animals set loose.

ty lee says no originally, but then tries to protect herself by backtracking and claiming it’s the universe who wants her to join the mission. mai protects herself by never saying no at all, displaying a mask of apathy, and (though this is conjecture) maybe even hoping if she shows enough loyalty by not disagreeing, azula will reward her by changing her mind and help her get her brother back later.

Soooo where's the Zutara "You've Got Mail" (1998 film) au???

Like the way so many details would fit together! It's slow burn rivals-to-lovers but they have been friends via pen pal method the whole time under aliases perfection!!! Also the book shop aesthetic!!!!!

Does no one see the vision??? 😭

The squad selfie has got me like:

I can see Kiyi and Tom-Tom becoming friends after the events of Smoke and Shadow

The two trying to convince their older siblings for playdates with them there. When really they trying to get their big brother & big sister back together and get married so they can be one big family.

(Which is my headcanon of a happy place where eventually the two have Izumi)

Just noticed how there are so many parallels between the way Zuko and Mai protect and cherish their little siblings in the comics. Its such a stark contrast to their own upbringings, and you can truly see how they take every measure to not repeat the same thing to Tom Tom and Kiyi. Especially in their respective interactions with Ukano and Azula.

The utter despair when they found out their siblings were first kidnapped.

The relief when they found out Kiyi and Tom Tom were okay.

Maj and Tom Tom with Ukano and Zuko and Kiyi with Azula

But nothing beats when they’re one big happy family.

Nickelodeon Avatar The Last Airbender: Smoke and Shadow

When a there is an outside factor building up to romantic leads not ending up together, while also wrecking the pacing of the ship...

And the red herring's being toxic but the writers just hope you pick up on the vibe without holding anyone accountable...

Is when it's time to check your bias.
