“Earthbending and waterbending are the same thing.”

“WTF? No.”

“Sure they are. Water is just melted rock, the same as lava.”

“No, it’s—”

“Ice is a rock.”

“What.”

“The experts agree. It’s naturally occurring, solid, has an organized crystal structure, and has a well-defined chemical composition.”

“But — okay, even if I accept that, which is a big ‘if’ — that’s the same as saying that waterbending is also airbending just because water can evaporate into a gas.”

“Correct.”

“Wait, what?”

“There’s no functional difference. It’s all manipulation of tangible things through willpower alone. Fire is from a different power set entirely.”

“Dare I ask why?”

“Fire is a thing that happens, not a thing that you can scoop into a jar. It projects from a source temporarily. Controlling fire involves manipulation of light, heat, and localized destruction all at the same time. Not every type of heat or destruction, but if you think about it, all light either comes from a sun or from tame lightning.”

“Hold on, so then—”

“A fully trained firebender can glow like a flashlight, incinerate things on the spot, and give you a wicked case of sunburn with radiation that you can’t see. Oh, and if they have enough finesse, they can split their light into rainbows. That’s my favorite firebending skill.”

“I need to sit down.”

“Welcome to Magic 101! I hope you’re taking notes.”

update tinder guy superliked me, asked me on a date, spent the entire thing belittling and making fun of me and seeming vaguely angry at me. then asked me for a second date

Do you ever think about how the Ra*bits juniors were only desperate enough to beg Nazuna to join because they absolutely REFUSED to join a pre-existing unit that wouldn't have all three of them?

Tomoya and Hajime had decided on becoming idols together in middle school and stubbornly stuck with it, but they had known Mitsuru for like a few weeks at most and were already so attached to him that the thought of joining a unit without him or each other was utterly inconceivable to them.

They all loved each other so much from the beginning, and among all the manipulation, reluctance, and fear permeating the other units of early ! era, they still had the courage to say "You take all of us, or none of us". And it paid off with a loving nii-chan who found his place, songs full of hope and smiles to heal the broken, and one of the most genuine, heartwarming relationships in all of enstars.

well mark that down as situation 2938489 that I don't know how to handle

"ah fuck i guess [thing] is over/has been cancelled so i gotta quickly post the rest of the art i've done about it then move on 😭😭😭" you guys live like this? genuinely?

why is hating popular things so popular lately

"i’m currently working on a kandreil post-baltimore fic where kevin goes fully nonverbal" do you know what reading those words has done to me. i cannot sleep thinking about nonverbal kevin i truly cannot

ME TOO ME TOO ME TOOOOOOO.;....;;;; my idea for it was that after baltimore abby told him to avoid talking for a few days to be safe and kevin just. kept going. at first it was two days, then it was five, then it was seven, until abby realizes he's still not speaking and tells him it's at a point where it'll be more detrimental if he doesn't try doing it again

and i think kevin does try! but it's like. well. i think when he opens his mouth he is overcome with fear and the idea of saying the wrong thing; his one protective stance against riko was to never say anything (you can't hurt someone for something they never said), but it'd still get him hurt nonetheless, and then with andrew.......... everything went downhill as soon as kevin opened his mouth.... so the first time he tries to talk again after that break feels absolutely terrifying!!!! kevin is just there, mouth open, trying very hard to get any words out and abby is waiting but he just can't seem to say anything. can't seem to make any noise at all

this is very interesting to me as a concept!!! i think its a very understandable fear, and a consequence most people wouldn't know what to do with, kevin included. he's just... ahghg.... kevin.... he didn't have it in himself to go with grace you see :( one of this fics main plot points is that some of the other foxes think kevin's silence isn't a psychological thing, and they (andrew included) believe kevin's vocal cords have been permanently damaged, so no one is having even the slightest bit of fun really. in fact i think this might be my most pathetic andrew yet because he's really going through it

SO YEAH UM I LOVE THIS FIC YOU SEE.... i think its just so interesting and such a sad but crushingly realistic concept...... so much of kevin's character is centered around talking and communicating and to imagine a version of him that just. can't. is very ahhh........ plus i think he's cute signing all angry. but that's more personal if anything!

Just watched a knight's tale for the first time and had a very fun time

I'm dying over the fact that the royal family is so adamantly denying that King C has prostate cancer and is instead refusing to state what kind of cancer he has. Like. We weren't born yesterday, he Obviously has prostate cancer. And my problem isn't that they're denying it. My problem is that they should not have been sharing such personal medical information (several days ago when they said he'd been admitted to hospital over prostate issues) to begin with. Like, period, actually.

tips for writing chapters/updating daily???

i am probably not the best person 2 ask lol i am anti-grind culture pro-leisure...my advice usually runs along the lines of 'don't put pressure on urself to churn out a certain amount of writing + try to think of writing not as a means to an end but rather as a process that is worthwhile in and of itself for the joy it brings you' <3 the only time i have ever written daily was when i was writing atydsp and that was just a sillyfun time where it was like my only hobby...now i do not write daily i just write for fun whenever i feel like it.

so genuinely the best advice i have if u want to write more is u need 2 take joy in writing. it shouldn't feel like a chore or something stressful that u have to do to meet some made-up quota and if it is feeling that way....what's the point of writing. hobbies r supposed to be fun

Mother do I dare ask what your reasons are? Because I can’t get into l*stappen either, the dynamic doesn’t interest me and the narrative ain’t narrativing for me (unpopular opinion I think?). Which is a shame because they’ve had a lot of interactions/content this year.

you've definitely hit the nail on the head here with a couple of them. the dynamic definitely doesn't interest me and that's fine, and is kinda why i've been asking pals why the dynamic does interest them, cause i look at them and i'm like huh 🤔 but have had some interesting insights over the past few days. i just think i am quite a visual person, i need to seeeeeee things to believe in them kinda thing (not applicable to everything in the world obviously but ya get what i'm saying) and with max and daniel you have such visible freak 4 freak moments that just addd so much to the narrative and the understanding of them. to me, when the lestappen girlies freak out (not derogatory) over a picture of max grabbing charles' waist, my brain just goes "well that's max, he does that with nearly everyone" because that issss max to me??? that's not a charles and max thing to me?? or those photos of charles and max today, my brain just goes oh that's two colleagues having fun together, literally exact same reaction to the daniel and george photos!! there are other things but i am not in my hater era and i have v good pals who thoroughly enjoy lestappen so i'm not gunna publicly shit on something that they love right in front of their salad but if u wanna chat more my messages are always open my haterisms come out in the dms!!

i think the crux of it for me, is the characterisation that i see people put on max and charles and l*stappen, isn't the way i see max and charles??
