i have no idea what the abandoned carnival au is but I 100% support rambling so here's your opportunity to ramble about whatever you wanna say about it!
(and if you're like me and can't answer non-specific questions here's some for ya:
What are the character's worst flaws? How do they interact with other characters? Is there any specific event that stuck with them from their past? How do others treat them? Any significant traits important to the plot?)
Hope your day's goin well!
WHAAAAG I LOVE YOU MINUTE/P !!!!! ok no one would really know much abt the carnival au because I haven't mentioned it really um haha. I did draw the moon for this au in Sundays daycare magma so yay if you need a face to the name you have one!
urm let's see here. so, for moon, I think his worst flaw is being unable to communicate properly. He struggles to keep things happy, he really does bring things down a lot and that's a flaw pushed on him by the process of his paranormal creation. what who said that.
sun's worst problem is his pride. he refuses to admit when he's wrong and he refuses to TALK about whatever he was wrong about. he's a 'drop it, I don't want to talk about this' kinda guy. he's a professional ghoster, if I do say so myself. totally not a pun linked to his paranormal creation. whaaat who keeps saying these things??? seriously this is crazy!!!
moon doesn't MEAN to push people away, he was made to operate a carousel, not make friends. But if he knows that someone is worth keeping ther, dedicated to staying with him, he can be soso clingy. he still has to rely on others though, otherwise he can't run, just like a music box. Sun has major people person energy, but he still gets so overwhelmed. He took on over 5 jobs around the entire carnival, between both entertainment and upkeep. so he has an overall energetic personality, bit when he burns out he burns out HARD. this makes him often irritable or overbearing for a lot of people, but he balanced it out between him and moon.
the fire. whenever the carnival closed down for the night. the missing kids. what happened to everybody else around here?
no, nothing much.
they really CANT get out much anymore, they've really tied down their roots since the place stopped moving from town to town way back in '47! furthermore, they cannot really talk to much of anybody but each other! and moon hasn't been wound up since the carnival wasn't needed anymore! that's why sun was SOOO happy when a human- you - showed up! can you believe it? moon enjoys your company too, but someone can only spend 60+ years in solitude for oh so long! can you imagine not aging, because you're nothing more than a puppet- a doll inside the puppet?? oh, he has so many things to show you!!! you're quite nice, probably not well suited to hang around such a guy all down in the dumps all the time! not that moon complains, having someone willing to care so much about him just the same- isn't that COOL??
Sun wasn't always supposed to take over all these other jobs. He used to be happier, calmer. I wonder what made him so tense. He's always stuck in a nervous state, no matter how happy he is around you. Moon wasn't always sad- he used to be a happy and mischievous guy that would even dance along to his music. hard to believe how broken down the tunes of the calliope have gotten.

I know there are so many fics where sokka works in customer service, like as a barista or grocery store cashier or smth, and I'm here to tell you that (as good as the fic is) sokka is too judgemental and vocal, he would be fired after a week.
If sokka worked at a coffee shop, he would judge the sugary drinks and anyone who orders the sugary drinks, because as a black coffee enjoyer, he would feel obligated to inform you that "for the last time katie, a caramel macchiato is not a real coffee beverage, so I'm not making that and what in yue's glorious everlasting name is a pumpkin spice latte?!"
And sokka isn't zuko, he does not feel bad about insulting his supervisor or the customer, or both if he feels he is in the right. A customer will ask him where is aisle one twice and sokka, who assumes that everyone has read the directory, says "are you braindead? why don't you know how to read a map?"

listening to game grumps remixes and realizing it been 10 years since i was a sad 16 year old incredibly fucked up deeply closeted suicidal kid stuck at my parents house and being taken back to that particular headspace is insane. i feel like i havent changed much its more like ive just slowly stripped away all the religious trauma and poorly managed anxiety but its insane that 16 year old me was like. haha. everything is absolutely awful and i want to die but if i get my 20-40 minutes of internet funnyman time daily i will be ok. it was definitely just refreshing and nice to hear from adults out there living and not constantly talking about Our Lord Jesus Christ and why Everything you do is Wrong because that was basically the whole bubble i was stuck in. (holy shit i barely think about it now but before i truly had enough self confidence to deconvert it literally felt like i was living an awful double life between irl and online, which i think is probably a common sentiment but god i forgot what its like to be in that constant self-monitoring place.) i think a lot of it was just wishing i had anything deeper than surface level friendships at the time and ALSO a deeply entwined gender envy for both arin and dan getting to be career silly guys. truly the funnyman was in me all along i simply had to nurture his feral puppyboy spirit and also build the habit of beating the shit out of neurotic thoughts. which all does still go out the window if i have to do socialization in person but hey ill take being able to be an actual person in any capacity or medium ngl being locked up in your own head and having literally nobody take any interest in your real opinions or personality if it falls outside a very specific kind of wanted behavior is a slow and painful internal death. the way we raise kids in this country is deeply fucked ngl anyways thanks game grumps remixes for perfectly dropping me back into 2012 at like midnight on the computer in the living room constantly watching over my shoulder so nobody would see me watch a guy say fuck and then cut off my internet access and my ability to make art and all my social ties

TW// MENTIONS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT
How unsurprising that fans who defended their favorite diluted-porn boy's love series for rewarding a character who commits SA also did not bat an eye when a fan-favorite actor from said show is discovered to have been a real life misogynist and fucking r*pe apologist.
Just because you think he has a cute and innocent face, doesn't change the fact that Build, in his twenties, was slutshaming women for the way they dressed and actively contributed to r*pe culture by criticizing women who spoke out against SA basically saying, "What do women who dress like that expect to happen?" and outright says to a male victim of SA (my own rephrasing here but the message is the same) "Why don't you turn your experience into a positive? You might like it." The Fuck???
He may have very well changed (we can never be sure because we don't know these people personally), but that doesn't automatically earn him people's trust. Build fans right now are adamantly screaming, "Forgiveness! He was only 20-21 at the time, how could he know better?! Everyone make mistakes or else we're not human!"
No, a mistake is trying to draw a circle but the two ends don't meet. Replying to a victim of SA while also using homophobic language is, at that point, a bit of a fucking character trait don't you think? That cannot easily be undone.
Anyways, these are the translations of his old social media posts, along with the apology he just recently posted.
