#It's very good :)

[narrativelysignificantturtleduck]

something that makes sokka extremely adhd relatable is that he's constantly looking for his Thing, the one Thing he's good at or useful for that makes up for any failings or flaws or ways he just can't measure up to others. at the beginning of the show he defines himself by being the oldest boy in the village & best warrior, but then he gets his ass kicked by zuko and suki and sees aang's raw power and he can't exactly think fighting is his special skill anymore. but he still thinks he has to be defined by fighting ('man of the house' daddy issues) so he calls himself the guy with the boomerang bc that's turned out to be his most useful and versatile and unique weapon, the one that other people can't outclass him at (after all, it's his most successful attack in his fight with zuko). when he loses it in "avatar day" he explicitly says it's like losing a key part of his identity and the moment katara goes "hey you're good at solving mysteries" he's like "yeah! i'm a detective! that's my new thing! and gets a new set of objects to signify it ("i believe in the power of stuff"). but detective sokka doesn't last bc throughout the entire episode he and katara are pretty equally matched in detective skills and he gets his boomerang back anyway. failed experiment.

and throughout all of this, he's figured out that people find his insistance on getting them fed & his grumpy comments funny and so he begins defining himself as the meat and sarcasm guy, and when he's a tough spot in "bitter work", bargaining with the universe to get him help, he offers that up as all he's got to give. it's obviously a Joke that he immediately asks for meat after telling the universe he'll give it up but it's also pretty indicative of how much he clings to these identities. it's all he's got (he thinks), of COURSE he can't actually give it up. they stuck that boy in a hole for 22 minutes and it revealed so much about how he sees himself.

at some point (likely around "the library" when he takes initiative to come up with a fire nation invasion plan) he also becomes the plan guy, the idea guy, and the gaang find themselves looking to him for leadership. this is perhaps the closest to fully encompassing sokka that any of his "[blank] guy" labels get, since coming up with plans involves planning when and how to fight (boomerang guy) & how to get everyone fed (meat), and people not following his plans is a major source of frustration (sarcasm).

this all culminates in "sokka's master", where the show finally names the underlying insecurity driving this quest - that he's a nonbender. katara being the last waterbender meant she was in danger and that keeping her safe was top priority, and even though hakoda and kya wouldn't have played favorites sokka probably felt a little like the unfavorite child for not being special like her. he lacks an ability, and believes his life has less value bc of it. almost like somebody with a disability and internalized ableism

(interesting, one of the people who most consistently mocks sokka for being a nonbender is toph, early on. toph has a lot of internalized ableism herself, a fear of vulnerability bc she doesn't want to perceived as weak like her parents thought she was. her bending is her disability aid, the thing that allows her to be stronger than people think, so she dismisses a nonbender until she learns better.)

piandao's response to sokka's lack of self-worth is not to train him to be great at one thing, but to introduce him to a variety of different arts, show him that his value lies not in having any one skill but in his capacity to learn and grow. there's no single thing that makes him worthy. it isn't even the combination of all of them that makes him worthy. he simply is worthy.

and i don't know if this is a unique narrative in fiction or anything but it really means a lot to me that sokka doesn't have One Thing that "makes up" for him not being a bender. he's of course extremely skilled and prodigious at many things he does in the show but there's no one savant talent that "justifies" him being in the group and i feel like so many disability narratives - especially for kids - go that route and i really appreciate that atla doesn't and simply says people are valuable because they are valuable, not because of their special abilities

#nina's personal log #sokka #seeing 'avatar day' again reminded me i had this in the drafts #ALSO i think toph is a different disability narrative than sokka but also more nuanced than typical this is NOT saying hers is bad #it's very good #nd atla tag

the fact that Astarion will leave you after you insist on having sex while he's trying to have a real, intimate conversation and connection with you is just Correct

#I love how his story was written #how this Smooth Sexyman is actually really traumatized and #understandably sex adverse after he was abused #And not having sex is a key part to his story #one that you could even argue he's a bit insecure about #it just #it's very good #and the fact that hes able to leave your ass when you're either too blind or stubborn to respect that #chefs kiss #bg3 spoilers #baldurs gate 3 spoilers #astarion spoilers #astarion romance spoilers #post: txt #ch: astarion

I don't usually plug stuff on this blog, but I've been on a binge of this series and it's hands down the best commentary on the Horizon series I've ever seen, from an angle I really never expected to see. I highly recommend it to Horizon fans who have the time and are interested in an in depth very thoughtful commentary on a really wide variety of things in the game. Here is the YT playlist for HZD (dlc included).

Here is the first vid of that series

And he also recently finished HFW and is currently doing Burning Shores.

I really didn't expect to be bingeing this, but here I am. I tore through the HZD playthrough and I'm halfway through the HFW one. T_T

#hzd #horizon zero dawn #ps4 games #video games #horizon zero dawn with a therapist #hfw #burning shores #I'm honestly extremely impressed #and I think he deserves more eyes on his stuff #it's very good #hzd playthrough with commentary #Youtube

I made butter!

Literally in under 3 minutes.

Step 1: Put some cream (I took ca 600 mL, 35%) in a mixer.

Step 2: Mix. Mix until it separates. Took roughly 3 minutes for me.

Step 3: put together, press buttermilk out (I used a cloth to get everything out).

Some people wash the butter in cold water but I just kept it like this. I got ca 230g of butter from ca 600 mL of 35% cream.

Step 4: collect the buttermilk and wonder what to do with it. End up deciding to just drink it

Here's the video I followed if you wanna see the process for yourself.

i recently caught up on kill six billion demons and i'm gonna be honest i have no idea what the overall plot is anymore. that said maya killsixbilliondemons is one of the coolest characters to ever exist in anything, which is very impressive when the entire comic is the most over-the-top cool comic to ever exist

#if you compressed every shounen anime into a tiny diamond you'd have kill six billion demons #idk how to say this without sounding weird about it but the panels where you can see maya's lovingly depicted scars and fat rolls are so. #it's very good

Spudgy!!! You always reblog dungeon meshi manga stuff which has entrigued me so much that I just watched the first episode of the anime and - i am in love??? It is absolutely bonkers and glorious. I had no idea this thing was actually about food in a monster dungeon, 10/10 concept. Senshi is THE BEST, Laios is so fucked up, I can't wait for ep 2 <3

Soooo thanks for getting me interested, would reblog from you again 😁♥

HECK YEAH I'M GLAD YOU LIKE IT!!! It's seriously such a fun concept for a manga/anime, I love it so much haha

Ok, why is there no fandom for "Nuestra Parte de Noche/Our Share of Night"???

It's a book about extremely grey queer characters and three children with ptsd dealing with Lovecraftian horrors and a very human cult made by rich pieces of shit that like body horror.

There is also a really complex (read: toxic) father/son relationship.

Come on, people.

#our share of night #nuestra parte de noche #mariana enriquez #i just finished and i need to speak about it #it's very good #very very very DARK but good #one of the protagonists is a very problematic bi man and and horrible father #but i mean all the characters are traumatized by a cult #books #horror literature
