Watching ST1 and surprised by just how much Nancy lies. She lies even when she has no reason to, like when she's hanging out with Steve and his friends and wants to leave, she could have easily said something like "I need to do something" or "I'm tired" but she made up some excuse about her mom. When asking Barb's mom about Barb, she could have easily told her she was worried but she didn't. Girl just lies like it's second nature to her.

I've recently been thinking about how Zuko went on a field trip with 3/4 gaang members; do you think we were all robbed of a Toph and Zuko field trip? How do you think it would've gone?
no i don’t think we were “robbed” of a toph and zuko field trip, and the show even lampshades this fact in “sozin’s comet.” while toph and zuko do have a lot in common wrt their respective abusive upbringings, struggles with disability and gender identity/inhabitation, and accepting help from others/their own vulnerability as a product of that parental/systemic abuse, the fact of the matter is that zuko does not owe toph reparations, whether material or emotional. the most harm zuko ever causes toph is purely by accident, which is a fact they both immediately acknowledge. when zuko bonds with aang over their respective issues with firebending stemming from its use as a weapon/tool of imperialist conquest, with sokka over their respective daddy issues, or with katara over their respective mommy issues (if you’ll allow me to be reductive in both cases, considering i’ve already discussed both of these relationships at length in the past), zuko is specifically addressing what is not only a point of commonality that connects these characters, but a matter that zuko must directly make amends for (he was the first person to showcase to aang the destructive power of firebending, he burned down suki’s village and forsook his own father figure in ba sing se, he exploited katara’s grief regarding her mother on multiple occasions). while it would certainly be nice to see toph and zuko bond more and connect over their shared traumas, there is no thematic impetus demanding a plot-relevant episode dedicated to their escapades. i do actually have many ideas regarding toph and zuko’s developing friendship, but it is a pet peeve of mine that people act like seeing our favorite characters be put in adorable situations is in fact necessary to a narrative even if it is thematically irrelevant. i also think that a lot of people clamor for a toph & zuko friendship when similar dynamics with far more basis in canon, such as katara & zuko, aang & zuko, or toph & sokka, which are all richly textured relationships that bear deep thematic significance within the text, are overlooked. toph & zuko do admittedly have an interesting dynamic, but there arrives a certain point where it’s just like. what do you want me to say about this relationship that is not said better by other, deeper relationships within the text.

ppl need to stop going “oh but this is pokemon so” as an excuse to immediately assume it’s childish or not take characters seriously
as if this is not the same franchise that has several rivals and characters with shit parents and who’s story has complexity and tragedy if you only look into it for more than a passing glance

🌹 Elena & Dance Fever 🌹
Because I've been listing to Florence + the Machine non stop and they have amazing album covers 🌹
Roses<3 so red and green are her colours, and roses her flowers, but i swapped the night sky and moon for daylight and a sun, to reflect Elenas aspirations & her more joy seeking attitude- and similar with the plants, still roses, but now dethorned and protecting her as well as reaching out and for the skys.

Ominis Gaunt Couldn’t Help But Frown
ominis x gn!reader (pining, if you squint), (slight, so fucking slight) Sebastian x gn!reader
There’s a reason why Ominis can tell it was you who came out of the undercroft.
A whiff of an earthly sweetness, sweat, and something unidentifiable— like a lavender petrichor, ruminated in the air during potions and herbology. Ominis thought the lingering, but distinguishable scent would soon dissipate in the air like the remnants of a bygone magic in a week or two.
But it didn’t.
It also didn’t explain why he would catch the very scent in defense against the dark arts.
Imagine the unpleasant lil’ frown, plastered across his face upon realizing you’re the one carrying that scent with you, everywhere you go.
Soon, it even rubbed off Sebastian. The more Sebastian and you snuck off fighting trolls, exploring forbidden corridors, and other such trivialities—- the more Ominis couldn’t get the scent out of his mind even if he wanted to.
So when he caught a whiff of it near the undercroft, he naturally found himself drawn to that little corridor.
It must have been…
“Sebastian?” Ominis tries to confirm.
He hasn’t been there since Anne’s been sick. It’s good to know that he seems to be doing better—
But the skip in Sebastian’s steps carried itself a little bit different.
And that whiff of herbal petrichor only punched his olfactory senses even harder.
Ominis Gaunt couldn’t help but frown.
