(This post is brought to you by the fact that tumblr are, hilariously, claiming that 50% of current users are gen z, and i wanna see how accurate claim that is.)

Ok so I was rewatching episode 1 of Avatar and I saw the scene where Iroh is teaching Zuko about fire bending.

And I’m sure people have pointed it out before but I couldn’t help but notice it.

Every other time we see someone shoot fire at Zuko’s face, he dodges or goes to protect himself (his fight with Zhao, the dragons, Azula, etc). It’s a fairly expected response given what happened between him and his father, but also because I’d assume no one wants fire to be shot at their face.

But when Iroh does it, Zuko doesn’t move. And we know he can feel it because the force of the blast moves his ponytail, but he just stands there and listens and personally, I choose to believe it’s because he KNOWS that Iroh would never do anything to hurt him.

Happy Anniversary. This is the original post. On this day in 2011 I was doing a charity drive for the natural disasters in Tōhoku and drew this. A few hours later I turned it into a gif and posted it here.

Here’s the original doodle before I drew it into a GIF

There has NEVER been a more appropriate time to post this tweet

Full version on YouTube has a second verse that's just as hard

"Making a better burger is literally so simple, I don't know why McDonald's doesn't do it this way. First we're going to begin by craft dry-aging this A5 wagyu beef with the sho-shu-ryuba technique that I learned at a restaurant you're only allowed to work at if your parents are bluelinked on wikipedia..."

This post continues to occasionally strike a nerve in the trust fund baby influencer fandom.

Reblog if you remember this motherfucker:

ooh i have a nice fun fact!

Static was WILDLY popular in Brazil (a country where the population is over 50% black) and we had re-runs for YEARS on open television. Everyone who was a kid in the 2000s knew and loved him. As a result, every single Brazilian Con has a LOT of static cosplayers!

So, a couple of years ago, Comic Con Experience (the biggest con in Brazil, which is actually also the biggest con in the world!) invited Static’s creator Denys Cowan as one of the guests of honor.

Now. Thousands of people attend his panel. And cosplayers went NUTS because they could show their Static cosplay to the creator himself! What none of us expected was Debts Cowan’s reaction:

He cried on stage.

He had never seen Static cosplayers - especially not so many of them! And he had no idea the show was popular here! No one ever told him his character was so beloved! Years and years of reruns and he had no idea! He obviously created the character with his experiences and his community (Black North Americans) in mind. Still, he accidentally touched a whole other community of black people who could see themselves on the screen as a superhero!

Anyway he is a lovely person and one of the best, most memorable guests we had. And I think this is a nice reminder that your art might touch people you can’t even imagine would when creating it.

lot of people are going to be sent careening three posts down their dash and crashing into a brick wall because of this post

i like tumblr because occasionally i’ll be recommended a 12 year old post that depicts something so absolutely my shit that it makes me believe in art again

The dark, menacing underbelly of Found Family they never warn you about: IT’S THAT MANY MORE PEOPLE TO YELL AT YOU FOR NOT DOING “GOOD FOR YOU” STUFF THAT YOU DON’T WANT TO DO 

I don’t know Leverage, but I’m delighted that this could have been so relevant.
