Actually while I'm on the topic of Ty Lee, it is a crime that Azula recruited her from the circus before the exact same circus picked up Appa, because if there's one person in the series who has the disposition to secretly befriend the (presumed) last flying bison in existence and re-learn airbending from the original source it'd be her.

#atla #yes I know that korra retconned it so that the bison aren't actually extinct and that the lion turtles are actually responsible for bending #I simply don't care #anyway ty lee deserved a horse girl arc

I just realized that for the pterosaurs, K-T was much worse than just being wiped out

Because imagine - you split off from dinosaurs in the Triassic, specializing in becoming the first vertebrates to conquer the skies. Except that, nope, in the Jurassic, those pesky dinosaurs also decide that they want a go at it, and develop flight, forcing you to fight them for a lot of niches and specialize even more.

Then comes the asteroid. Your lineage is dead, that's a certainty. But the dinosaurs? Will they survive, as they were some of the most diverse land vertebrates on the planet? Will they also completely die out like you?

NOPE! They are wiped out except for a handful of small flying species, meaning that they get to survive and radiate specifically in the one niche in which you excelled and that they stole from you. And, worst of all, it's their descendants, not you, that will be remembered as the archetypal flying vertebrates.

#coelacanth #i love coelacanths #marine biology #sorry for making you choose but I’m curious #I get the feeling that menadoensis deserves more appreciation than they get but perhaps I will be wrong #this is just the two living species of coelacanth #maybe sometime I’ll make a poll with all the extinct kinds too

It always amuses me when people call the Lion-Turtle's appearance "convenient" or something similar.

Yep, it sure is convenient that an omnipotent, all-knowing being would appear to the One Who Is the Mystical Bridge right before he faces his Ultimate Test in the Final Days of the World. Sure is neat that the most ancient and colossal creature on the planet would choose to summon the boy who will stand in the path of the man about to burn the forests*. As ships of steel and smoke drift into the sky so they may rain fire in the blazing wake of a centennial calamity, it's impossible to comprehend why the Last Guardian of Nature Itself would choose to approach the battlefield.

Truly, questioning this plausibility of this chapter proves that you have progressed beyond childish acceptance of cartoon fairytales, and are now capable of seeing where the author's hand provided unearned aid. That's literary comprehension.

#*people also question that decision and miss the symbolism and message and threat inherent in attacking the land itself #YES he's just burning a forest he is attacking the WORLD ITSELF #he is going for an extinction-level event #he wants the skies choked with smoke for days #atla #avatar the last airbender #the lion turtle #Sozin's Comet #aang #avatar aang #this is a war on all fronts #and after an unknowable time the Lion Turtle has shown himself to see if humanity deserves to live on #or if it is truly time for the world to end in fire #and for the spirits and beasts to succumb to an era of metal and order

crosshairs (the fucking transformer) is so hot. he has a goatee. i thought he was hot the moment i saw him for the first time in theaters in 2014's age of extinction. literally oh my god.

#and i will die on the hill that age of extinction is way more deserving of 18% on rotten tomatoes #it is actually a wonderful display of a total story in a movie #for an action movie the plot is so detailed #it is one of my top movies of all time #and no #i won't hear anyone out #transformers #crosshair transformers #crosshair

something something time travel something something Extinction Avatar Jon AU

[ID: The first panel is of a man tilting his head up as if taking a deep breath, saying, "Ha." The second panel is of the man looking straight ahead and laughing, hence, "Ha ha ha ha ha HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!" The text becomes more jumbled and incoherent the more he laughs. The third panel is a view of the man from the front. He looks up menacingly at the reader, his right eye's sclera a blotch of red with a tiny scribble of white in place of his iris, and his left eye a bright iridescent green. An illusion of an eye hovers over his forehead, left cheek, and throat. He says, "Oh, Jonah. You just made a terrible mistake." End ID.]

It’s 2023, and Larries still can’t enjoy Louis Tomlinson, the artist, as an individual. It always has to be about him and that other person. Everything he does has to relate to someone else. Never appreciated or celebrated his art without needing to link it to someone else. If he wears something, oh, it’s because of someone else; if he expresses himself, oh, it’s about that person; if he has lights surrounding him, it’s not about him alone; no, never, that can not be. The disrespect is constant. I saw someone tweet about wanting to get into Louis, and the replies were about Larry and "proof" compilations from when he was young so many moons ago. Not his music, not his shows, nothing about him alone, nothing about the person and artist he is NOW. Larries do not realize the damage they cause on a daily basis. The whole idea of Larry goes beyond shipping; it in itself is disrespectful, homophobic, and misogynistic on so many levels. Let me play along and say Larry was or is real, and one of them or both do not want to talk about or be public with their sexuality (and stop with the management thing). Why in the world would you engage in a behavior that outs him? What Larries do is not done behind closed doors or only in fanfics (that alone is a conversation for another day); during Louis’ AOTV premiere, his concerts, online, among his colleagues and peers, Larries are there, and they are not just loud but obnoxious. Imagine saying you care about someone (well, more about their sexuality and who he "might" be dating), and yet you out him every chance you get. Vile behavior. Louis is a person with layers, friends, and experiences that you will never have access to, and that makes you mad and outraged. You attack people he loves, people he dates, and people he wants to be part of his life. You disrespect his family, his son, and his friends, and then claim that you love him while you scream liar to him with no shame. You don’t see Louis as an individual, and you need to realize that. You take part in homophobic stereotypes and discussions about his private sex life; you fight and get annoyed when he exhibits any behavior that doesn’t fit your misogynistic stereotypes; the same man that writes songs like Angels Fly, Holding on to Heartache, Defenseless... (insert all his discography). You contribute the "tommo way" to being an asshole. You showcase classist behavior; you don’t even want to admit that everything he stands for and all his values that he has spoken about publicly go against the person you so desperately "ship" him with. Louis is a solo artist in his 30s, on his second world tour, standing on his own after years of self-doubt. He finally found confidence and joy in being on stage, he talks about how thankful he is to be accepted, and feeling safe as AN ARTIST, and yet all Larries care about is: is he gay? He can’t be straight... Grow up and reevaluate what you are really doing. Louis has had enough struggles; enjoy the music and stop reducing him into a delusional ship.

Might be a hot take but a major character’s death is really only as good as the weight and the treatment that the narrative gives it. Sure, any author has the ability to write death as they see fit. But whether the consumer (of any given form of media) is actually able to emotionally connect and resonate with the departure of someone who has occupied a good chunk of narrative space very heavily depends on how it’s treated within the story. If it’s a major character, the narrative needs enough built-in breathing space. As in, the consumer doesn’t have to fill in the blanks as to how the death impacted the plot or the remaining characters. Let the narrative do that for them, and that would actually allow the consumer to better react and relate to that major death (sadness, anger, joy, etc). Allow the rest of the characters (who were impacted by the deceased) to react to their parting. Let them engage with the death in a manner that helps justify the character’s inclusion in the narrative to begin with. Make it clear how the character’s life and (especially) their death relate to the larger themes of the story. Because most consumers aren’t stupid. We don’t want our hands held at every waking moment, but we also don’t want our investment in a story to be insulted just for the sake of a cheap shock. Give us time to breathe and grieve. And respect that we have put in a lot of emotional investment in a story and its characters, and we deserve to have that acknowledged.

#recent developments in a very popular ip have forced me to think about how creators treat the deaths of major or main characters #and the discourse of ~ohh we don’t need to see every single thing~ has got me thinking #like sure we don’t need to be spoon fed everything but consumers have varying emotional investments depending on the characters #a side character it’s passable if we don’t get any fanfare but a MAIN??? #we’ve invested so much into their journey and the themes in their arcs and how they affect the world around them #is it too bad to want that to be actually acknowledged by & within the narrative? #so that whole thing got me to think about main characters whose deaths were well done in fiction #ned stark imo is a really good one because the immediate payoff of his death is the start of the wot5k and long term effect was #that the stark kids now had to fill in their father’s shoes and rise and become leaders in their own right and while we still have twow an #ados we can also tell as shown in adwd that the long term effect of Ned’s legacy is that house stark will be preserved even when it’s on th #brink of extinction #so that’s a well done imo because we also see throughout 4 books just how much his death meant to the kids #his death hurts because we see how his kids are hurting - jon arya sansa bran are GOING THROUGH IT AND IT HURTS! #I’d argue MCU did a pretty good job of showing tony’s everlasting legacy after his death and they did that through Peter who was the proteg #we can love and grieve for tony though peter whom we love and have come to relate to so Tony’s death has a lot of narrative weight #and how it’s handled is satisfying even though we’re hurt that he’s gone #same with sirius and dumbledore in HP - sirius’ especially hits sooo hard because Harry goes absolutely apeshit in ootp and then has to #pick up the pieces in hbp + dumbledore’s life and death is given quite a good amount of narrative space for both harry and the reader #the recent developments in jjk have me worried that a certain someone’s departure won’t be given the narrative weight it deserves #and part of that is gege’s pacing being wonky because oops it’s another big fight that will take god knows how many chapters idk #I’ll wait and see but as of right now….i feel like fan complaints about it shouldn’t be brushed aside because they’re super valid 😕 #asoiaf #harry potter #jujutsu kaisen #mcu #marvel #comics #manga

we got a crowley version of the aziraphale church feelings realization scene. i think we deserve an aziraphale version of the scene where crowley (as aziraphale) sees how horribly the other angels treat aziraphale and gets a cold, cold look on his face. i think some angel, or even god, should scoff at crowley for trying to do something good, like get the second coming out of harm's way, or give aziraphale a lift, or let someone he doesn't trust borrow his car, or get them some hellfire, or something, and go "it's almost funny how aziraphale thought you could come back. as if you could fit in up here. as if anyone would forgive you." and aziraphale should get the iciest, bleakest look on his face as he realizes there was never any chance of heaven taking either of them as they are.

#good omens #the reason angels should do it and not demons #is because as we see in s1e6 aziraphale is NOT shocked or furious at the punishment they have for crowley #not because he thinks crowley deserves it of course #but because he expected something like this. they're demons after all they're the legions of hell #of course they'd have a sham trial. that's just like them #crowley on the other hand. he is seeing the supposed 'good guys' #condemn a good kind gentle person to an extremely painful extinction #and smiling as they watch. 'shut your stupid mouth and die already' is not something he EVER expected to hear #from the archangel gabriel. i mean he knows heaven's toxic #but he never expected them to be this upfront or outright inhumane about it

Preview for ‘Project Loosha’:

“My name is Marina— I’m not important! But my mom is Dr. Tonya Trench…”

When this sparked no reaction, Marina clarified, “My mom is a marine biologist here in Finnerton. She studies Florida manatees…”

Tony exchanged a wide-eyed look with Arianna. “Manatees?” he mouthed.

“Mom’s lab received a call a couple of months back,” Marina continued, lowering her voice, “about a new project… Project Loosha.”
