One thing that bugs me every time i rewatch tlok is that one scene in book 3 where tenzin tells korra about the time when she was little, explaining how the red lotus tried to kidnap her. So, he, korra's father, sokka, and zuko went to rescue her and stopped the attack, locking the red lotus in their respective prisons.
Although my little zukka brain thrives with the fact that zuko is supposedly just there, chilling in the south pole post-retirement or whatever, i really think it would have been much better if insted of him, it was katara the one fighting alogside the others. It would have made so much more sence because one- she is one of the most powerful waterbenders on earth therefore totally has the power and skills to stand againts the red lotus, and two- yes, you can argue that she might still be greeving over her husband's passing but i think if sokka, zuko and tenzin were able to be there and help in the battle it wouldn't be much of problem for katara to be with them too. Aang is best friend and a family to both sokka and zuko and tenzin's literal father. If they were ready and willing to fight, so could she.
And isn't trying to protect korra also trying to protect her family in some sort of way? Katara was clearly very enthusiastic about teaching korra waterbending as a child, why won't she stand up against the red lotus for her, too?
It's disheartening to see how both the comics and tlok seem to sideline katara's character as if her contributions were not significant. Like she just isn't that important in the first place. It’s just awfully depressing tbh.

what i like about the secret history is you can tell exactly who 'got' the book and who didnt by the reviews. and im not trying to be snobby or something here if yhe book's not your cup of tea thats totally fine more power to you!! its just funny that the reviews are always either 5 star, greatest read ever, this book caused me physical reactions and i havent slept in 3 days. OR its a 1 star, the book started off great but fell off after the first part, too long and rambly, the focus is on the wrong things too much on the characters not enough on the actual plot. and like, thats kind of what i love about it? the fact that if you read the book like Richard is characterised, if you read the book for the romanticised life of secluded classics students, for the dark academia of it all, then its going to be a shitty read for you! what i personally like about it is that every single character is messed up, every single character is a 'bad person' in a way and the way the idealised romanticised aesthetics are built up meticulously during the first part only to then be brought crashing down in the worst way possible is part of what, to me, makes it such a good book.
And dont get me wrong, i came for the dark academia as well. I bought it because of moodboards and edits and a glowing review about 'this amazing dark academia book' from one of my best friends. I came for all that, but i stayed because of the clearly distorted reality. The fact that you can see more and more clearly in the second part that the entire reality we think we are in is made up imagined and idealised by richards obsession with the aesthetics and i love that its so clearly reflected in the reviews because like. Yes thats The Point!

You know when I said I want more wlw representation, I didn't mean turn the misogynistic, power hungry, greedy and abusive stepmother into the heroine's love interest despite the said abuser literally being responsible for a civil war and the deaths of the said heroine's children with a heavy dose of queerbaiting.

I know that Corlys going away and to war is how he copes with the loss of his children but the fact that he left Rhaenys alone for years makes everything sadder.
She’s been alone all of this time, mourning both of her children and now she thinks she will lose the love of her life. It’s so tragic.
The way she said ‘the stranger has visited me more times than i can count’ made me tear up. She’s so tired and sad.
It breaks my heart to her so broken down and yet she still conducts herself with grace and will fight for her family to the very end. She said enough. And she’s coming.
Eve Best you never cease to amaze me. (I really hope she gets recognized in award season)
Also just give Paddy Considine all of the awards. That man was incredible.

Kind of a part of my previous post regarding Wen Qing's sheer talent and skill, but this is mostly rage and anger so let's keep it seperate -
Wen Qing was good person, a good healer, and she did not deserve what happened to her. She did not deserve to be burned alive and then have her sacrifice given the value of nothing. She was a good person, and she did not deserve the horror the Clans did to her.
Wen Qing was the healer who was meant to have her tale written into tomes of history - and they slaughtered her because of prejudice, because of cruelty, because of her name, because the could.
And everyone who stood by and watched as this innocent woman, this healer who had never taken a life burned to her death, I fucking hope they are all haunted by it.
She died thinking that her death would save the people she loved - and I have no care for indifferent men in power who spat on her sacrifice and slaughtered her family for it.
