Sokka must have been so pissed when Katara and Zuko came back with matching outfits after their revenge field trip. They literally went shopping without him.
I’m in the process of organizing a gofundme for a family to get out of Gaza and into Egypt. If anyone with a big following on Twitter can help me spread it there, please let me know.
[i.d.: three screenshots from “sokka's master” overlaid with screenshots of a tumblr post. the first image is of piandao facing right and writing. overlaid is an anonymous tumblr ask that reads “are you a philosopher”. the second image is of sokka kneeling with a demoralized look on his face. overlaid is an answer to the ask from @targuzzler-deactivated20180224 that reads “boy im dumb as shit”. in the third image, the camera is behind sokka, and shows sokka kneeling as well as piandao standing in front of him holding a sword. overlaid is a reblog to the post from @pochowek that reads ““boy im dumb as shit” is just rephrased Socrates’s “I know that I know nothing“ so whats the truth”. end i.d.]
The myth that Japan is a “homogeneous” nation is one that erases Ainu existence—one that fails to acknowledge Japan’s history and ongoing legacies of settler colonialism. Only after the fall of the Japanese empire in 1945—resulting in the loss of its colonies abroad—did the false narrative that Japanese society is ethnically and culturally homogeneous start gaining traction. This myth silenced the voices of the Indigenous people who remained in what was now the state of Japan. Through settler colonialism and forced assimilation from 1869 until 1945, Ainu have become outnumbered on their own lands. Within this ostensibly homogeneous society, little tolerance was left for non-Japanese cultures and ethnicities. Hence, the end of formal empire meant lingering discrimination, essentially perpetuating the power structures established by Japanese settler colonialism.
we hit 50k boys time to pack it up! im turning off reblogs in a few days. i am so fucking sick of this post. send me some money for the brain damage y'all put me through in the notes of this post!
anyways, japanese imperialism is not a thing of the past and still exists today. japanese propaganda is in the little things, and to end it you have to recognize them. stop glorifying the rising sun flag. pay attention to how japanese media treats its korean characters as opposed to the white ones. be on your guard when anyone or anything implies that japan is in any way superior to other asian countries. above all, listen to and support any poc who has been affected by japanese imperialism.

thoughts on zu/cest?? there's a terrible fic called dominion that uses zuko r*ping azula [during a breakdown, she cannot consent] as the crux of the fic...
If you have any ideas for prompts (like 'family' or 'pirate au'), please suggest them here! In two weeks, there will be a form to vote on submissions to chose the top 12 (2/day, free day sunday)
...ok... its not like the ship is inherently evil lmfao. also there's nothing wrong with being interested in problematic things in the past as long as you acknowledge why its bad and stop engaging. some of you people will not interact/immediately drop media as soon as your friends deem it problematic rather than examine why people call it problematic, why you found no problems with it before others called it out, and how you can unlearn what that media has impressed on you.
