Post-Canon ATLA is so funny because imagine a chunk of the world’s most important political figures all being in the same friend group? Like sorry Earth King Kuei, your trade policy with fire nation machinery just got a 2% tax raise because your niece said Toph could use a bath.

Yeah we talked about it at last nights sleepover. No, you can’t send anyone to negotiate and anyone from Kyoshi island is automatically exempt trade fees. No I will not say why.

Kataang really was baby's first OTP for me and I was always kinda embarrassed about that because everyone seems to prefer Zutara so I also go "Yeah well I was 10 and the show was telling me to like it so I did haha :) nostalgia!" but y'know what. That's dumb. Kataang is still cute and 13-year-old me was right

genuinely one of the worst things that’s happened to television in the last few years (exacerbated by streaming services) is death of Filler. going from 20 episodes to 8 because “we didn’t really need that episode where the main characters went to the beach right? it had no long lasting effect” but we DID!!! we needed to see how they act without the Big Bad Plot and to establish the dynamics between the characters and lay in the sun (do they forget sunscreen? how do they react to a thieving seagull? do they get buried in the sand or do they do the burying?). the plot isn’t everything. the action doesn’t hit as hard without the quiet moments. give us character development and our little scenes back

NEED HELP W NAMES !

Hey y'all! I'm writing an MDZS x Miraculous fusion fic where a lot of our main cast are going to be superheroes. The main problem is that I'm having trouble thinking of titles for the superheroes (i.e. Hawkmoth, Ladybug, Cat Noir, Mayura etc.)

So far I have

Hei Mao/Cat Noir - WWX (Cat Miraculous)

Piao Chong/Ladybug - LWJ (Ladybug Miraculous)

Jade Tiger - NMJ (Tiger Miraculous)

Purple Thunder - JC (Dragon Miraculous)

And that's it, here's a list of characters with miraculous I assigned. Some of these characters won't be like main superheroes or villains but it'd be nice to have their names anyway hehe.

Nie Huaisang (Fox Miraculous)

Jiang Yanli (Turtle Miraculous)

Lan Jingyi (Ox Miraculous)

Wen Ning (Tiger Miraculous)

Lan Sizhui (Rabbit Miraculous)

Wen Qing (Snake Miraculous)

Ouyang Zizhen (Horse Miraculous)

Luo Qingyang (Goat Miraculous)

Song Lang (Monkey Miraculous)

Xiao Xingchen (Dog Miraculous)

Mo Xuanyu (Mouse Miraculous)

Jin Ling (Rooster Miraculous)

Qin Su (Pig Miraculous)

Jin Guangshan (Peacock Miraculous)

Appreciate y'all and love y'all

i know a lot of people mock when certain songs are overused on character playlists but I will never judge someone for putting bubblegum bitch on one. If you decided that your little tv guy is miss sugar pink liquor liquor lips who am I to say he’s not

YOU GET IT

Also I talk a lot about how embarrassing it is to be in angry love with Wei Wuxian, but when they first have to recite the Wen laws, and he activities little shit mode to be like “I’ll read the Wen laws :)” and then recites the precepts of the Lan Clan—if I was Lan Wangji coming fresh off my clan’s recent massacre, I’d also be so so so in love with him. That’s sexy and deeply romantic on both a personal and a geopolitical level. That’s the best kind of complex and sexy. I’m actually insane about this relationship. We say this a lot on this ole website but biting and biting and ripping and tearing for real, dude, for real.

Do y’all know any like GOOD, like JUICY, YUMMY MDZS fics that have that GOOD angsty bittersweet dynamic between Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian? I just want some GOOD Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian fights to help me go to sleep. 😌

Fine then *changes my character design so that my hair that was previously tied back either to show youthful naivety or refined countenance is now hanging looser to signify the slackened grip I have on my emotions and moral compass* make me your villain

Jurda Parem effects

So I’ve been thinking and while I may never get the answer here’s what I think would happen to grisha we didn’t see taking jurda parem and possible withdrawal effects.

Heartrender- obviously we know what happens here just go look at my baby Nina

Healer- although jurda parem seemed to cause the same abilities as a heartrender I feel the withdrawal will be slightly different. So instead of being able to control dead matter I’d like to think they’d be able to control animals and be able to read a person’s mind. Mostly because this is a more delicate power and healers are more delegate then heartrenders.

Inferni- we never saw an inferni on jurda parem and honestly I’m struggling to think how there power’s could be amplified apart from becoming a raging inferno and maybe becoming a human torch (see fantastic4). Who really knows? As regards to the withdrawal I have a pretty good idea that instead of being able to create flames and heat I believe they’d do the opposite and generate cold and possibly ice. A little bit too obvious but it’s what I’m going for.

Squaller- with the drug squallers where able to fly. The withdrawal I believe would lose their squaller abilities and instead be able to manipulate sound. We’ve already see them do a little bit of this but that was using air pressure, in this case they would control sound itself silencing it, making it unbearably loud and creating physical attacks out of it.

Tidemaker- grisha taking jurda parem could manipulate the state of matter. I think that the withdrawal would cause them to lose the ability to manipulate water naturally but be able to manipulate it in plants and therefore have control over plant life, much like Elizaveta.

Durast- on the drug grisha where able to manipulate matter at a greater level changing lead to gold and creating cyborgs. I think that after the drug grisha would no longer be able to manipulate matter or control it in any way instead being able to repel themselves from it giving them basically telekinetic powers.

Alkemi- honestly a little unsure what these grisha can actually do normally, online it just says they specialise on poisons and blasting powders. Of that I’d say they’d be able to have control over poisons, possibly turn a person’s blood acidic and stuff like that, and be able to create an explosion through touch. Withdrawal would cause them to become poison itself, think Katherine from three dark crowns. They’d be immune to all the poisons and then there touch/kiss/blood would poison people.

Sun Summoner- (is there a fancy name for this? Sun Summoner is just a bit bland) being able to manipulate light I think people on the drug would be able to go a step further from what Alina could do making people invisible and then be able to create illusions. After the drug sun summoner would find it hard to manipulate light but instead be able to manipulate a different part of the electromagnetic spectrum and manipulate gamma rays. Thus basically becoming a radioactive bomb.

Shadow Summoner- (again a better name?) I guess if the darkling was to take the drug he wouldn’t need Alina to control the fold. I’d say he’d be able to become a living shadow and move anywhere with ease. After the drug shadow summoners would be left empty and need to draw on other people’s energy in order to fill this void. Through this they’d be impervious to a lot of grisha attacks and would be able to absorb their energy to create energy blasts.

Tailors- including these here even though I know they’re not technically a grisha order. On the drug tailors would be able to shapeshift with ease transforming into any body, possibly into animals as well. And given they’re a mix of fabrikator and corpalinki they’d have heightened abilities in that aspect, basically being able to do what a normal grisha in those orders could do. After the withdrawal I think there power’s would flip, so instead of being able to transfer physical properties to a person they’d be able to animate physical objects causing things like a coffee cup to come alive (in my head I see Genya recreating the entirety of Beauty and the beast).

Anyway that’s my thoughts about grisha and jurda parem. They may be nonsense rambling or I may be on to something. I hope we get to see more grisha taking parem, even if that is a little evil of me, so I can see if any of my predictions are true. If you’ve got any better ideas about what could happen to grisha on jurda parem feel free to comment 😄

I don't care if the Crows spin-off is just the six of them acting it out in Freddy's living room while Freddy's wife films it on a phone, I'm willing to pay real money for the footage.

[arthur-does-tingz]

we deserve a third six of crows book where the crows just sit in a room and make fun of each other for hours by the way

Wait wait wait

Show!Wylan really thought he was so inadequate that the guy he had a one night stand with and clearly liked not only didn't remember him:

But proceeded to shit talk him in front of him:

Which given the context of his backstory in the book that is starting to be revealed in the show [if you don't want spoilers, don't read this] that Wylan's rich merchant father kicked him out for not being able to read and constantly belittled him the entirety of his life, making him constantly feel inadequate, which is why he was so ashamed to tell Jesper he couldn't read- and so it's heartbreaking when you put this opening to their relationship in this context, when Jesper (unknowingly) was reaffirming what Wylan has been told his whole life

And then the cinematic poetry that was making the contrast scene in the same location:

This scene is him telling Wylan 'In the beginning, I probably would have left you like I leave all the others, but after getting to know you, I've found you are worth staying for', he is telling Wylan, who was always told himself as he is isn't good enough, that Jesper loves him more after getting to know more about him.

I think season 3 will explore this concept more. The whole point is that Wylan has these things that he thinks he is unlovable for, but then as Jesper and the crows knows him more, they find out about these 'unlovable parts' and they still love him, showing Wylan true love that he hasn't really experienced before, so like, as much as I love slowburn wesper, I don't think speed running their relationship ruins it, I think it still leaves room for and provides necessary and relevant character arcs and character growth in really interesting ways that still tie to the book in tons of ways that matter
