For everyone out there who claims there is no canon evidence a romantic relationship between Zuko and Katara would be healthy, that it would instead be toxic and that they would fight all the time, may I direct you to the Melon Lord training sequence, where Sokka, the undisputed strategist and tactician of the group whom everyone trusts to make plans and strategies to implement, very intentionally puts Zuko and Katara together because he knows how well they work together and can compensate for one another's weaknesses and compliment each other's strengths—much like himself and Suki.
Ship what you want, y'all, but please stop saying there's canon evidence zutara would be toxic. That grossly ignores the growth and explicit forgiveness that Zuko and Katara have shared and that the latter has shown the former.
reminder as easter approaches to not give rabbits or ducks as gifts
both are animals that require special care (no, not all animals are just different shapes of cats or dogs) and can live up to 10 years if well cared for
they're not toys, they're living creatures that require love, care, special diets, time, and modifications to your home to keep them safe
they are also not creatures that can just be released into the countryside and be expected to survive. They're domestic animals and will not survive. Please don't impulse buy any animal as a gift, but at least have the basic humanity to rehome them or surrender them to a shelter/rescue and not leave them on the side of the road or in a box in a dumpster
Kind of like Christmas time, there's an influx of impulse/gift adoptions around Easter time that are then immediately surrendered or abandoned within a month. Consider finding a local rescue in your area and donating money, supplies, or your time via volunteering to help! Many also run foster programs, or need help with driving the animals in their care to vet appointments and so on.
This was inspired by really worn-out Lunar New Year ornaments, calendars, and cut-out pages of fashion magazines from the 1980s - 1990s that are always present on the walls of my local barbershops
So I saw this right and it's probably because amazing dancers just have incredible chemistry but it got me thinking.
(in my head Ghost is leading but it's up to your interpretation)
141 is a dance company, they have a few different styles :
Soap-swing, hip-hop, contemporary, doesn't have the patience or the timing for ballroom
Ghost-mainly ballroom, used to do swing but we'll get into that later
Gaz - swing, ballroom, contemporary, hip-hop, ballet, pretty much everything
Roach- ballroom, hip-hop, ballet, has tried others but only really likes dancing other styles with Soap and Gaz for fun
Price- ballroom, and Latin, has dabbled in almost everything but he prefers ballroom
Laswell- West Coast swing, you wouldn't think it but she is incredible she took home a championship title during an improv swing competition when she pulled her wife as a partner.
Nikolai- Nik dances ballroom, latin(only with Price), and Ballet, he was classically trained in St. Petersburg
Alejandro and Rudy- world titled Latin dancers(of course) but they also do ballroom and Alejandro does ballet while Rudy does contemporary, they both do swing as well when they need names on the ballot.
So: what if they're at an improv swing competition and Gaz goes down(Nik dropped him(that helicopter scene will haunt them in every universe)). In order to place in sweepstakes they need a full ballot and both Alejandro and Rudy(their usual backups) are already entered. Ghost is there for moral support and to make sure everyone gets filmed so they can look over it later, Soap is so so close to titling and he won't be able to if the team isn't complete(ik that's not how that works but for the plot). Ghost doesn't do swing anymore, not since an old partner in an old studio sabotaged him and almost ruined his career. But he can't say no to Soap, never could. So he puts his name in.
And as fate would have it.....
Out of a random draw of a hundred people Soap and Ghost get each other.
And this(the video) ensues, or something similar. And Ghost falls in love with swing again.
Some art from a recent uni project that I just finished
After handing this in one of my tutors told me that it was wierd to see me draw blood, so it's great to know they haven't found any of my art accounts anywhere yet
i just. remembered again that i have a fembaru fic but also the premise is. Very Messed Up hah and also it was written before the canon genderbent au with its official genderbend names for everyone so its also outdated on top of that T^T i had like. Genderqueer subtext going on too. but i also wrote this fic like almost two years ago and havent touched it in forever so im unsure if i should go back to it…. o.o but i would love to finish it one day if only for my own satisfaction hah… i had a very detailed outline for ch 2 (its a twoshot) and several scenes written already anyway!! (and also i would probably update those names, make minor edits, etc etc hmm…)
in news from grad life, my supervisor asked me about phd plans today and upon hearing i want to take a few years to do various non-academic things before i start one, immediately produced an application form for a scholarship to study abroad in iceland for a year? like this was not remotely on the radar of what i was planning for next year but tbf i hadn't actually planned that much, and i was initially looking at a master's programme in iceland before i settled on the one i've actually ended up on, so... why not! could be living in iceland this time next year! sometimes niche, half-buried teenage dreams do come true!
