thinking very normally about the fucking Pronoun Hierarchy lore drop from the dev stream. about how the councillors actively stop referring to gabriel with he/him during the act I intermission, degrading him, seeing him as lesser and not deserving of something of such closeness to god -- and yet the narrative as a whole still continues to use he/him for gabe regardless, even though from a story perspective, that has been taken away from him by the beginning of act II. even after he loses his light and *should* lose that identity alongside it, he doesn't. regardless of what the world thinks of him, he's still him. man. you could bury a sliver of a transgender allegory 10 feet in the ground and brother i'd claw for it through the dirt like a truffle hog

Do you get the impression the live action is treating us like utter morons?? Like I thought that making it aimed at an older audience would open the doors for more subtle story telling, but no, they're just using monologues to tell us eveything! Like in the second episode Katara's like 'oh his power isn't that he's the avatar, it's that he ~connects~ to people'. Girl we're not idiots we can see that!! And the first episode with Aang's goddawful 'I don't want this responsibility' monologue
THIS, YES. The word that keeps coming to mind is definitely "subtlety". The show for literal children? Had it. The remake for adults? Not so much.

it's good to relisten to the silt verses from the beginning from time to time so that you can feel a deep and inconsolable sadness well up from within when you realise how much more desperate and exhausted carpenter sounds with each successive season
