do I think Ty Lee at one point felt genuine friendship and connection with Azula when they were kids before it got corrupted ? yes. do I think Mai wanted to kill Azula with a looney toons hammer since they were 7 ? also yes.
do I think Ty Lee and Mai both incorrectly believe that their internal Azula experiences have been more or less the same ? also also yes. do I think this makes the toxic lesbian love triangle way funnier ? Triple Dog Yes.

Nothing worse than having a serious conversation with someone but then coming across a funny tiktok or meme that they would enjoy but you can't send it straight away because of the seriousness of the conversation.
Bonus points if the meme actually relates to the conversation but you can't send it because it would be "insensitive" so you may never get another opportunity to send it again.

blue eye samurai's themes of racial/cultural hybridity is so ingrained into its narrative that it's even prevalent in the way the story is told.
it's set in edo japan but the character design of its protagonist, mizu, is inspired by western cowboys like clint eastwood. cowboys are also its own subculture in a way in modern japan, as many japanese people today are nerds about westerns and the wild west the same way americans today are nerds about anime and japanese culture.
the story is steeped in historical and cultural setting of japan in the 1600s, full of nuances and details* to reflect that, yet its script is originally written and dubbed entirely in english, which is why the dialogue and speech and mannerisms match how americans talk and not how japanese people talk.
* in regards to the historical detail, i am ignoring the historical inaccuracies present in the show for the sake of this post because it's not entirely relevant. though i guess you could also say that it's a hollywood-ification of a foreign culture. but it's not like japanese cinema and media depicting other cultures are very faithful and accurate representations either.
even the medium and genre itself. it's an animated show based in japan with japanese characters, but it's not a japanese anime. its inspired by japanese films like lady snowblood, but also by american films inspired by japanese films, like kill bill.
like. it's japanese but it's also so intrinsically american. it's fascinating.

sorry i know i cant stop people from having their headcanons or aus or whatever but i find it kinda silly when people present the idea of silver being shadows son as if its an actual plausible theory.... because all the "evidence" for it is very minor stuff thats easily explained away . and then theres also the fact that in the 06 timeline shadow was put back into stasis shortly after iblis destroyed the world because humanity was looking for someone to blame for it. and silver also says that iblis has been around since before he was born. im aware that the future is always changing so a future where an adult shadow is around to interact with a tiny little baby silver isnt entirely out of the question but wouldnt this plot detail make shadow being silvers biological father very unlikely if not outright impossible??

Okay you guys are going to kill me for bringing this up again, but now that it’s become increasingly obvious we will never be seeing his face onscreen again, I’m back to being pissed about Zava…
Like, I spent weeks having to listen to that man go on and fucking ON only for him to leave in the most anticlimactic and honestly stupidly inconsequential way and it was all for WHAT?

I think the funniest thing in the world is that originally my crush on anton came from seeing a bunch of ship art of him and peppinօ (my most recent f/o at the time) and eventually going "yeah we could be poly". But now it's just like. Ummmm sorry he's My husband now actually. Like it can still be poly but also it's not really. He got third-wheel'd out of the polycule akhfkshfksh
