Happy One Year Anniversary my Love 10.29.23
Still baffling to me that I made this room in my house. Itβs mine. I can just go sit in it whenever. Wild.
Reblog the 500,000 dollar written check from Seto Kaiba and money will come your way.
I was looking for movies to watch on hbo and i'm fucking howling at this
we passed a sign in boring that said their sister city is dull, scotland
I love the very brief cut in the atla finale when Ozai, defeated, turns to look at Aang as he brings the water up to clear the fires around them
Ozai. An incredibly powerful fire bender. A man who was so arrogant and still managed to think that, moments prior, he couldβve caught the avatar off guard, even after being scared out of his mind as the kid chased him down with a solar system of elements around him
He fully got his ass handed to him. Not only was he beaten by the goodness in Aangβs heart and his decision to spare Ozaiβs life, but his bending was taken away. In a world like that, itβs a fate worse than death. This little 12-year-old just touched his head and heart and fully evicted the one thing that made Ozai who he was.
You have the power to end it here and stop what youβre doing!
β¦I do have the power. I have all the power in the world!
I love that look that he gives Aang. He is exhausted. He just stared death in the face. His energy was bended. The strength and invincibility he felt when he was trying to break through the earth Aang hid himself in was replaced with an embarrassing shell of a man, and even more a leader
And to look at this child whom every avatar in existence, from Wan to Roku, spoke through and who chased him down and just selflessly saved the world. Who calmly breathes in, lights up, and slowly uses the first water bending move he was ever taught to cleanse the damage that Ozai caused
Forced to watch the goodness of this kid in full swing. This fully realized avatar, and a more powerful bender than Ozai could ever dream to be
Iβm at a sociology conference and just attended a memorial for one of the giants of our field, and one of the panelists told this storyβ¦he was at a meeting with this guy, who he got his PhD under and had a long standing relationship with, and he was bemoaning the current state of the world, and he asked this old professor, βhow can you be so optimistic? I canβt ever be anything but a pessimist.β
and the old professor said, βyou little fucker, Iβm going to make a statement and then Iβm going to take you out to the parking lot and beat your ass. What good does your pessimism do?β
and that really struck me. not the least because I also knew this old professor and he very rarely swore, so I know this was something he was really worked up about. what good does your pessimism do? What GOOD does your pessimism DO. Iβll be thinking about that for awhile.
being on my period makes me feel like a wounded forest animal trying to find a warm dark small place to die
Help, Iβve been called out.
