hate the fact that batman could be about how people from the most different backgrounds can find each other, become a family, love each other even through difficult hardships and fight for each other and to protect other people but instead men just write it to project themselves onto bruce and also joker is there

I can't get over this little girl.....pretending to be long dead while someone digs up her body out of the ground. The jewelry laid out beside her...the hair clips....this is everything

Just overheard two teenaged boys at the front door of their friend’s house. One was on the phone and gently said, “Oh, did you just wake up?” And the other one yelled “OPEN UP, FUCKNUGGET!” while slamming his hand on the door. I gotta say I love the friendship dynamic

I love the layers of this fight scene. The layers…

I’m pretty sure this is the first time Azula has ever been intimidated by her brother. She thinks she knows him, knows what to expect fighting him, but the Sun Warriors taught Zuko how to Firebend not from a place of rage, but purpose. His attacks are so much more controlled, and for the first time, he poses a real threat to her.

Sokka, my boy Sokka, has only been even wielding a sword for what, like a month? And here he is, putting Azula on the defence with it. The close-up of her smirk breaking into genuine fear when he swings and nearly forces her over the edge is so telling that she was not expecting him to actually go for such a move.

Azula is constantly on the offensive in pretty much every other fight scene she’s ever been in, but against Sokka and Zuko here, she’s much more cautious. The girl obviously did not expect such a challenge but they brought it. The way they rotate around each other in attacking is wild, and I truly believe this could have been Azula’s defeat if not for interference.

The problem started with stirrups.

So I’ve been working on writing Merlin fanfic and, like a moron, I decided I wanted it to be more historically accurate because the actual canon is a shitshow about that.

I start doing some writing, some researching, and discover that stirrups won’t arrive in Britain until the 10th century or so. King Arthur is like… early 500′s roughly.

So no stirrups. That’s not a big problem. Except it is argued that it might have been a major contributor to feudalism. Which, ok, good to know. So Arthur is pre-feudalism, got it. Shouldn’t change too much, right? (wrong)

Oh, what’s this that feudalism requires for those new wealthy landowners?

Fucking. Primogeniture.

(friendly reminder: this is the right of inheritance for the firstborn son. Like for land, or titles of nobility… or kings)

So if my research is right, King Arthur didn’t have an inherent right to the throne because he was the firstborn male heir. He was fucking ELECTED. (or maybe a lady in the lake threw a sword at him, who knows, this is all myth anyway)

But the fucking kicker?

The thing that DOESN’T EXIST in King Arthur’s time?? Because feudalism won’t show up for several centuries?

Fucking.

Knights.

In summary, the story of King Arthur is just modern day fanfiction from medieval/feudal Europe with rampant OCs, overpowered everyone, too much fucking drama, and like three different werewolves.

Also no stirrups.
