Fanfics that always have Azula stand trial for "war crimes" always baffle me. That could very easily blow up in Zuko's face. Really, what did Azula do during the war that Zuko didn't do before he changed sides? We see Zuko attack civilians all throughout book 1 in his pursuit of Aang. We never see Azula do this. And Zuko faced little to no consequences for what he did. It would make much more sense for Zuko to place the blame for his actions on Ozai, the literal adult who was fine with committing genocide. Not Azula, his little sister. Zuko would be giving his political allies ammo to use against him if he were to put Azula on trial, which is the last thing he would want to do. Because for anyone who doesn't want Zuko on the throne post war? He just gave them the perfect excuse to use against him.

#atla #azula #zuko #people really don't think before they write these fics do they #just admit that you want to see Azula suffer through any means necessary #and move on #because this logically makes zero sense for Zuko or even Iroh to do post canon #the fact that the writers themselves have never done this proves as much

A watch of Transformers (1986) got me angry at Star Wars fandom

A dying Optimus tells the Autobots not to grieve for him and that he will be one with the Matrix soon

This is basically the same thing that Yoda tells Anakin

But no one hates on Optimus for this (probably because they're too busy unreasonably hating Hot Rod but still)

Meanwhile this apparently makes Yoda an unfeeling idiot because he didn't know exactly what Anakin was worried about beyond a broad "I'm scared someone's going to die"

Hi! How are you? I hope you're having a good day! I hope you don't mind me sending this (and sorry if you've answered something similar before!) I was just wondering if you had any thoughts on Louis' relationship to the idea of "change" in the album?

We have bigger than me being the lead single with lots of references to changing and coming to terms with change. ('Cause, yeah, I might have changed/ But everybody does' one of my favourite lyrics!)

Then two of the bonus tracks "change" (which was the first fitf song we heard right? Sorry I wasn't around then!) Which is again about how things change and how in a lot of ways Louis still feels like the kid he used to be. (Side note- I'm always floored by how good change is, every time I listen its like im hearing it for the first time)

Then in high in california we have "spent my whole life just thinkin I had to change"

I find it so interesting and would love to hear Louis talk about it. I love so much of your thoughtful answers about Louis' music so wondered if you had any thoughts on this theme in particular?

Thank you so much!

There’s so much to say about Louis & the concept of change, and it goes much deeper than the lyrics that have the actual word “change” or “changes” in them.

Almost all of Louis’ lyrics about “home” have bittersweet overtones of nostalgia and loss— all the way back to 1D’s Through The Dark, Night Changes, Home. The reassurances of themes like, “When you’re lost, I’ll be here. I’ll lead the way. I’m be the light. Even when the night changes, I’ll be the same.” Even the flip side of Home (literally the A side to Home on the 1D surprise EP drop), Perfect, illustrates the exciting life of being a teen idol (“hotel rooms, good champagne”) sardonically, sarcastically, or as Julian Bunneta said during promo, “Ironically.” Perfect isn’t perfect at all… because it isn’t home. Perfect is pretend-perfect, superficial and glittery, fanfiction-perfect, but unreal.

(An aside… think about the reason Sony released Perfect as a single and not Home, even though Home was the fan favorite… and the fact that Home wasn’t even included in MITAM. Sony knew that fic-loving fans would generally misunderstand the concept of Perfect. The exciting, wild, party-drug-alcohol-filled life depicted in Perfect results in real life oopsie pregnancies and babies, which was causing complications in Louis’ real life. Home is a complicated topic amidst all of this instability.)

I think that for Louis, the idea of “Change” is the flip side of “Home.” Where Home is a bedrock, Change is uncertainty, anxiety, disruption. In 1D, change often ended badly for Louis. While the major change that he sought in 1D’s sound and in his involvement in songwriting brought about great personal satisfaction, it came at a huge cost— maybe even leading to industry’s blacklisting him in 2019. In 2015, most of the changes Louis faced brought about upheavals— the 1D break up that Louis didn’t want, the deep rift in the friendship with Zayn, Zayn’s and Harry’s impending solo careers, Louis’ accidental fatherhood. Initially, I think Louis was incredibly anxious about what fatherhood would mean to his personal life and his career (and his actions weren’t great, tbh). The stability that Louis had counted on at home was also about to undergo a seismic, tragic shift.

So to find out, at AFHF 2021, that the first possible song on a new album was called “Change” was intriguing, especially since Louis already knew the title of the next album would be Faith In The Future (it was flashed onto the AFHF screens, and Louis also said in interview that he knew the title before most of the songs were written). This song told us: The Future is not to be feared. There is hope in the power of positive thinking (e.g. Nikolai Tesla’s 369 manifestation method). Louis has— it seems— made his peace with change.

Listen to Change and see how much Louis invokes the idea of home in this song, bringing the two concepts together. Even his Home (Doncaster) is not truly static in a changing world: “houses all look the same/ There's different names on the gates/ You know the people have changed/ Oh, it's such a shame, nothing stays the same.”

It’s the same technique that he uses in Saturdays and in Silver Tongues, recalling his youthful past to acknowledge conflicted, painful, unresolved feelings, in order to move into the future (Chicago too). I think the most humorous reply (and the release of tension) to this push-pull dilemma is the lyric in Silver Tongues, “I don’t feel like going home.” — in a way, Louis is acknowledging that change can be rewarding and sweet, that the idea of home is in friendship and love, not in brick and mortar things, and that he can hold both concepts in his mind at the same time.

It’s kind of cool to compare the bridge from the chorus of Changes that Louis wrote and sold to blackbear (2018):

to Louis’ song Change (2020-21):

(angelsflylt on tiktok)

Where Walls is introspective, honest and vulnerable but dwelling on the past, Faith In The Future is about forging one’s own destiny, breaking through, drawing the moon in the sky, imagining one’s own poetry (Louis released merch in the shape of a bottle cap that opens bottles… thus creating its own solution).

Thank you for the question! I really missed looking at Louis’ riddles and wordplay. He’s so much fun, always (I bet he throws great parties), but also very intelligent and so heartbreakingly filled with love. We’re lucky to have his songs. He’s just in another class.

#louis tomlinson #change #Louis songwriting #change also is Louis’ very diplomatic and philosophical way of saying #that friends can change too #sometimes who he thought was his friend can become his biggest critics #for whatever reason #the pain it causes is also temporary #and one must believe in a better future regardless #and move on #the experience had value even if the people are no longer there for him #valuable lesson for all

funny how us americans always shame everyone who's online for not caring (as in posting about, no matter if the caring is genuine or performative) about the political event that is important to them right now but will gladly discuss movies, ships, their new haul, all that irrelevant day to day bullshit, without a care in the world when something goes down in the world the US isn't (yet) involved in.

#like the us americans that are now whining that not every single person is actively posting about the genocide in Palestine didn't #give a fuck when the war in Ukraine started and there was the horrific thought of nuclear war in Europe #like grow up and realize that not all humans will or can care abput everything all the time #and move on #speak out but the guilt tripping will only lead to uninformed masses following you performatively #alvadee's shit

Whenever they promote Byler, they tend to pull back by switching up and promoting milkvan, as it evens the playing field of expectations. This marketing tactic satisfies both sides, while simultaneously humbling both of them as well…

So, just be aware of that.

I'm not in love with who my ex is now, I'm in love with the person my ex used to be...

The body is kind of the same, so that confuses me. But the inside has changed a lot...

Tough pill to swallow.

comic stans will make fun of your fave character’s name then go and stan another character by the name of dick or perhaps batman while taking them completely seriously. you are also the clown in the circus my friend.

#let’s just accept that almost every comic character has a ridiculous ass name #and move on #I can’t take comic stans making fun of a character’s name seriously you should be desensitized by now 😭😭

The world would be such a better place if people learned how to scroll.

It is hilarious that the same group of people who think no one would EVER lie about their age in their bio are also the same people who think AO3’s staff would risk federal jail time by lying about their publicly available budget.

i personally dislike some of the pathological analyzation of every single human experience, feeling and behavior exhibited on a lot of posts and social media nowadays (particularly tiktok) and I don't really like contributing to it all that much so apologies if my addition to my previous post is a little buzzkill. Of course, not to say that social media hasn't been greatly helpful for some people already questioning their perception, behaviors or mental health (shit, i didnt realize I had a disorder until i listened and talked to people with the disorder I just thought I was fucked up!) but considering everything is so short-form or text-based nowadays I find people (often young but not always ) tend to miss a lot of context and nuance that comes with even lighthearted discussions of neurodivergency, and i often forget that.

Additionally, not everyone is neurodivergent through and through in every aspect of their life. I think sometimes people lose focus and find so many things that make them different that they assume everything they experience is, indeed, different than the neurotypical with consistency. Like they inherently experience two different dimensions or something when that's not true at all.

#im not going anywhere with this im just rambling lol #me and my partner and friends are all neurdivergent in very contrasting ways but we all have our set of normal or typical behaviors or #thoughts interspersed between all of us #so many times its like #hey guys is ___ normal? and we're like yeah thats normal #and move on #the doctor is in #not plague

I think white people (specially straight ones) are weird in kpop spaces and I’ve hard time interacting with them. I block them whenever I come across one.

It’s all a fetish and a yellow fever trip for them to stan these idols. And most are racist too, specially to non asian kpoppies.

Look at Blackswan, the racism shit they’ve experienced so far has been from white international fans. One of the member even said this in a show.

THEY FUCKING GOTTA LEAVE SOMETHING FOR US.

i am not trying to be a bitch, but what’s the purpose of sending this ask to me? do you need advice are you venting I don’t get it…. Anyway my advice is to block the weirdos (though you said you already do this) and make friends with normal people that don’t act like disgusting idiots with yellow fever. You can have a fun time in k-pop spaces with likeminded people that don’t fetishize east asians and just enjoy music and content idols put out for fans. Also leave something for who?? leave what??

#i don’t think any of my white friends act like you just described so yeah maybe on twitter it is different but i wouldn’t know #still. I agree there are weirdos but it’s easiest to just not argue or even interact with them you will save yourself time and energy. Block #and move on #ask

I think one of the hardest things in life is, trying to deal with losing someone. It’s never easy, never ready for it, doesn’t hurt any less. You think it would be easier when you realise how much people you have lost. But every relationship is different, we deal with things differently. The weight is a lot and we attend to forget others feel it too. There is no time frame to when we next lose someone. Just know time goes on, the world keeps going and that in time you will heal and people are around you when you need someone to talk to 💕.
