this company is so frustratingly misleading. They did not bring back the direwolf (Aenocyon dirus). They modified a modern grey wolf (Canis lupus) into having some direwolf morphology. There has been no de-extinction. This is pure hype slop. As a friend said “these are dire wolves the same way La Croix is a fruit”.
Concept: Aang takes the gaang into the spirit world to help him deal with A Thing. Except he’s never brought multiple people into the spirit realm before and so he mucks it up on the return trip - and everyone ends up swapping bending abilities
I love all of your thoughts but this is how I see it going down:
Toph loses her earthbending and absolutely freaks out, until she realises she can now firebend. Toph without her earth sense but with fire? Terrifying
Zuko sits down to teach her. He teaches her to feel that strange flame inside her chest, and holy shit, she can feel the same heat around her. Agni in the sky, the flames flickering in lanterns, her friends around her. She might not have her earth sense, but she can feel where everyone is and see how strong and alive their fire-spirits are. It helps.
She also quickly discovers the joy of throwing fire next-to-but-not-directly-on people and hearing them shriek like little babies. It’s amazing.
Sokka gets Katara’s waterbending as karma for all the times he called it dumb water magic. She laughs and he threatens to douse her in cold water and see how SHE likes it and it’s a whole thing - until she starts teaching him. And then Sokka gets to participate in a part of their culture that was always out of reach for him. He gets to feel physically connected to the water and to the moon, to Yue, in a way he never has before. Katara gets to share this huge part of her life with her brother. It brings them closer as siblings.
Katara gets earthbending. She struggles to pick it up at first since it’s different from the fluid motions she’s used to. Aang gives her a loving speech about how it’s okay, they all take time, look at how difficult it was for him to learn! And then Toph calls her a little bitch and tells her to bend her damn knees more and Katara rage-bends half the mountain. Aang shuts up. Toph screams her head off in support
Everyone discovers their new bending pretty quick, so Zuko figures he’s the nonbender now. Not a big deal. He can fight without bending, and Sokka isn’t any less badass for not being a bender–
And then he sneezes and gets propelled out a window
He’s the Avatar now.
He spent 3 years frantically hunting the Avatar and now he IS the Avatar. This is clearly some kind of cosmic joke. He’s already the Fire Lord, he doesn’t have time to learn three extra elements and maintain peace and harmony around the world, he can’t even maintain peace and harmony among his goddamn nobility
Aang tries to calm him down by patting him on the back and offering to teach him his signature marble trick and Zuko is so close to a breakdown at that point that he just stares blankly at him and says, “That would be nice”
I’d just like to point out the growth in this post has mostly coincided with elon’s public spiral downward and I’d like to think we’re all a small part of that
bro can’t think because he’s just got a rager of a migraine 24/7
yes I would like to give elon musk my menstrual pain. I think he deserves it
Reblog to also give Elon Musk your menstrual pain.
Now consider: a man in a dress. Not in drag or all dressed up or anything. No accessories, no makeup or styling, just wearing the dress, some ratty boxers and muddy sneakers. No socks or stockings, hairy legs in the open air, just raw dogging those nasty shoes. Hair mildly damp. Visibly sleep-deprived. Bruises on shoulders, elbows and knees, left palm bleeding. Sitting on a curb on the street, shivering, looking wretched, and absolutely miserable.
I forgot where I was going with this.
done. next challenge
A dog wearing a motorcycle helmet, sitting on a skateboard and knitting.
I made him an Italian greyhound, hope that’s OK
Now, everyone picture the dog offering the man a little knitted greyhound.
(through gritted teeth) sometimes what’s good for your mental health isn’t another do nothing day or a little treat sometimes what’s good for you is putting in some of the work. Not all of it at once but sometimes you have to finish that essay or at least take the next step or you have to clean your room or at least dust the shelves or you gotta do the laundry or at least put it all in the hamper and it’s not fun and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks but you have to because i read a post on the internet that told me that’s what being nice to yourself is sometimes
Are you guys ok you’re all reblogging this post a lot
normally stuff like this feels performative because anyone can talk shit online to someone and most normal people would just ignore it and block you but in this instance its the funniest thing in the world because you know for a fact its getting to him
why does my mother suddenly fail kindergarten whenever she tries to do anything on the computer
I know she doesn’t know what “the maximise button” is so I told her “click the square at the top right” and she clicked…the printer icon…in the middle of the toolbar. and I’m just like okay. this isn’t a technology thing you are flunking basic shapes and directions. I’m turning off your computer and getting you a block puzzle. you have a master’s degree
I reblogged this a few days ago, and then yesterday someone in my family had a baby, so I was talking to my mom about it. And the convo turned into her sharing little pregnancy facts with me. Like how babies get oxygen and nutrients while in the womb.
Which led to her saying, “but that’s also why, if you drink alcohol, the baby is drinking it too. If you do drugs, the baby is doing them too.”
And I thought of this picture. And I said “when you light up, so does he.” And my mom said “yes”
and I said “hell yeah white baby.”
and then I had to apologize to my mom for saying “hell yeah white baby.”
