people have pointed out before that zuko probably didn't actually know any of the gaang's names before joining their group. according to the data i've collected, it is unclear as to whether zuko knew any of their names before "the boiling rock," in which he addresses sokka by name multiple times. at no point in the show does he refer to toph, suki, or momo by name.

i find it particularly funny that zuko only seems to refer to katara by name after sokka says her name during their conversation in his tent; the transcript for "the southern raiders" reads as follows:

Sokka: So what's on your mind?

Zuko: Your sister. She hates me! And I don't know why, but I do care what she thinks of me.

Sokka: Nah, she doesn't hate you. Katara doesn't hate anyone. Except maybe some people in the Fire Nation. No, I mean, uh, not people who are good, but used to be bad. I mean, bad people. Fire Nation people who are still bad, who've never been good and probably won't be, ever!

Zuko: Stop. Okay, listen. I know this may seem out of nowhere, but I want you to tell me what happened to your mother.

Sokka: What? Why would you want to know that?

Zuko: Katara mentioned it before when we were imprisoned together in Ba Sing Se, and again just now when she was yelling at me.

we can thus assume that zuko went into this conversation knowing katara only as "[sokka's] sister," heard sokka refer to someone named "katara," and finally connected the dots.

i think the gaang according to zuko is just "the avatar, the avatar's bison, the avatar's.... little rat thing, sokka, sokka's sister, sokka's girlfriend, and, yknow, uhhhhh, the little green one."

You know, that Mythbusters post legitimately changed my life. Before seeing it, I had exponentially more guilt and stress about not being able to sleep, which of course, further exacerbated my inability to sleep.

Now, every time I wake up about three am, knowing I have to get up at 6.45, instead of stressing and panicking about how my day is going to be sleep deprived and miserable, I just tell myself 'Time to activate Mythbusters Protocol' and lie there with my eyes closed safe in the knowledge that I am measurably reducing later feelings of exhaustion.

And when this happens, about 70% of the time the reduction of guilt and stress means I actually do fall back asleep, so all in all instead of getting only three or four hours sleep, I get five to six and a half.

Which y'know, major improvement in health and energy.

"I want a show that treats it's mspec characters with respect no matter who they end up with" "I want a show that illustrates both mental health spirals and the process of recovery" "I want more shows with Jewish protagonists" "I want more healthy queer break-ups in media" "I want more representation of therapy even if you aren't mentally ill" "I want more media that shows the complicated process of addiction recovery" "I want a TV show that doesn't demonize people with personality disorders" "I want a TV show that doesn't romanticize suicide" "I want more TV shows that talk about abortion without sensationalizing it" "I want more TV shows with explicitly bi characters" "I want more shows on complicated family dynamics" "I want more shows where boundaries are set against toxic parents instead of everything magically being resolved" "I want more shows where asian guys are legitimate love interests" "I want more shows that emphasize the importance of creative pursuits even when you aren't good at it" the show you are looking for is crazy ex girlfriend. please. it is. trust me.

theres something almost satirical about it and if it were more satirical or even *gasp* campy, it would be wildly less cringe. im still parsing apart my feelings for it but i just feel like the concept is so rife with potential.

and now i want to relisten to it through a rebecca lens

rachel bloom should have written the tortured poets department send tweet

the thing about ttpd is that i was thinking about rebecca the whole time

#so rebecca!!
