AU where the first time Zuko fights Aang on the ship when the Avatar's escaping, Aang accidentally energy bends Zuko.
Zuko is no longer a Fire Bender.
Zuko is now an Air Bender.
Zuko is also Freaking The Fuck Out, and so is Aang.
"Change it back, change it back!"
"I don't know how! I don't know what I did!"
"Then learn! Fix this!"
Meanwhile, Iroh is internally screaming because yeah, this is a death sentence for his nephew.
Sokka and Katara are just. Hanging out. Staring at each other and then the crew.
Everyone's confused. The crew just...slowly edging away to get back to steering the ship and laze around and stuff.
Katara knows it's a weird Avatar thing Aang did.
Sokka has now formulated a conspiracy theory that Zuko was only pretending to bend Fire the entire time.

Sigh. I’ve had conflict with this person in the past, and I’ve been avoiding talking about them again, but this is especially egregious and I do want to address it.
How do you think the language and religion spread? People didn’t just decide to switch over en masse, they were conquered. It’s ahistorical to deny that.
The idea that Jews are “white” is complicated, but the idea that Jews possess whiteness is a relatively new concept. Conversations about this have been going on inside the Jewish community for a while. The key there is that it’s inside the community. The idea that this individual feels they, as a non-Jew, are the arbiter of Jewish identity is disgusting.
The idea that Jews aren’t the “real Jews” is not only blatantly antisemitic, it plays into conspiracy theories.
The use of Jewish tags (jumblr, am yisrael chai) are yet another instance of this individual trying to make sure Jews see this post, even when those tags are incorrect. This is clearly harassing, and this user does it frequently.

I think the real, worrying, on-going problem with Unity is the fact that the investors and CEO no longer have incentive to keep the company alive.
They all sold massive amounts of stock before making the change. They knew this would kill Unity. They don’t care. In fact, they’re doing it on purpose. They sold their stock high, gave the company its death knell and now they’re just waiting for some trickle of extra revenue to be brought in by game developers when the change goes into affect, and once developers and gaming corporations start switching away from Unity, they’ll fold the company, not care, and be richer because if it.
Unity is dying on purpose, and there isn’t anything that can be done.

From a Palestinian - I know this is long but read it anyways:
If any leftists on this fucking site are using antisemitism to further the Free Palestine movement, you're not fucking helping. Not just because there are Jewish Palestinians. Not just because it furthers the idea that the movement is rooted in antisemitism. And not just because the people who are ultimately going to be impacted by this "activism" are Palestinian families (like my own), who will be on the receiving end of the brunt of government retaliation. It simply isn't helpful and isn't right.
Gaza is an open-air prison, cut off from food and water and medicine and fuel. Even before this recent chapter of the conflict, its people are penned in and brutalized and kidnapped and imprisoned and murdered, without any true relief, and very often without mainstream attention. This is being carried out by the government of Israel (with US government support) and its military, and it is aimed at the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, a people without any formal military or power. Palestinians in the country are being slaughtered, and Palestinians outside of the country are slowing losing their connection to their identity and homeland and need to watch as their brethren are unilaterally labeled as terrorists and "animals" and killed, raped and buried in rubble.
As a movement we need to acknowledge that Hamas is an antisemitic force. There is no justifying it or going around it. Internet leftists, you're so good at nitpicking at the past comments of online allies and finding the problematic thing someone said on twitter in 2018 and then never defending them again no matter what. But we can't do the same here with Hamas when leaders in the party are antisemitic and when people are dead? We need to defend Jewish people and that doesn't stop here. And nobody dare try to explain to me that this is what a revolution looks like. Those killed weren't all IDF soldiers. And don't explain to me that even colonization and occupation is violence (especially if you live in the US, a colonized nation stolen from indigenous people), because of course I understand that. Palestine has a right to defend itself against violence, but Hamas is explicitly antisemitic and we can't just stand against the ruthless killing of civilians only when it's Palestinian civilians.
Yes, it's complicated. YES this violence and the power vacuums that allow groups like Hamas to take power are very often the response to brutality, and a long-term symptom in the aftermath of European imperialism. We can acknowledge that and understand that and even be sympathetic to the historical context that allows this to unfold while still condemning the death of civilians. After all, being against the death of civilians is at the core of the Free Palestine movement.
Defending Jewish people does NOT mean dismissing the slaughter and literal genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. Defending Jewish people does not mean defending the actions of the Israeli government. And standing with Palestine and freeing it from brutality does NOT mean ignoring that antisemitism is fraught in the world to this day. One part of why Israel is able to garner civilian support despite the atrocities of its government is because not many other countries are taking in refugees of antisemitism, and historically most countries have never protected Jewish people EVER. That is something we need to acknowledge. And acknowledging that does not mean we justify the actions of the government of Israel, and it does not mean we are turning a blind eye to the occupation or the slaughter and ethnic cleansing of Palestinian civilians.
BTW, tone-policing Palestinians about how they talk about Israel while we are in mourning, and collectively witnessing the brutality our loved ones are facing, and literally watching our homeland get destroyed IS HORRIBLE. IT IS UNHELPFUL. IT IS INSENSITIVE AND TONE DEAF. Do not bring up Hamas in my fucking inbox, MY PEOPLE ARE BEING SLAUGHTERED AND LIKENED TO ANIMALS AND I AM FORCED TO WATCH.
The same applies to tone-policing Jewish people when they are getting death threats at synagogues and JCCs and/or are mourning loved ones in Israel. Yelling "but what about Palestine" whenever a Jewish person in America (who has literally nothing to do with the heinous acts of a foreign government entity) mentions they are grieving or afraid or getting death threats doesn't fucking do anything. This isn't activism.
We are all tired. We are all traumatized. We will feel this for generations.

No…
Conspiracy theories were never “fun”.
They were NEVER a “bit of a laugh”.
They were never a little bit of so- called “banter”.
Almost every single conspiracy theory is rooted in paranoia, bigotry and misdirection.
Especially antisemitic bigotry and other such forms of bigoted thinking. (I’m not Jewish but even I recognise that shit when I see it!)
Everything from lizard people to that flat earth bullshit!
Be rid of it!

LISTEN UP HAZBIN FANS
Hear me out. Mammon own Alastors soul.
OK. ok let me explain.
Exibit A- Mimzy
Tumblr media
Look really close at that tattoo. Got a good look? Now where have you seen that before? Was it here?
Tumblr media
Now I want you to remember the end of Alastor and Mimzy's friendship. Now imagine that happening but replace Mimzy with Niftty or Rosie or Zestiel. Does it look wrong to you? It does to me.
I feel like there realashionship was strictly curcumstantial. Like they wouldn't be friends if they didn't need too. They parted so easily and it look like they both were able to accept it quite quickly.
Exhbit B - Colors and Emblems
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here we see Angel and Val. Val own Angels soul as we all know. Whenever the deal between them is brought up. Pink appears. Pink smoke, Pink chains ect. This might me me over analysing but Angel Dust and Valentino have a single gold tooth and they are both in the the same spot.
Now look at Alastor when he brings up his deal. His deal with Husk.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And the deal he made himself with, (I suspect Mammon)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In both of these example the color assosiated with respective people is the same.
Alastor in every scene is fully covered. NO skin exposed. In the scene where Sir Pentious rips his coat ad gets angry. I think he is hiding something. Maybe a certain tattoo?
So who else has a green color sheme and green electrical charges in full demon form? The Prince of Greed himself.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
3. Mammons attitude
As the lowest class in hell I think the Imps are already indept to serve all the other cretures in hell espessially the overlords and the sins.
SO imagine fizz as a sinner and not an imp. I am 10000% sure that they would be in a Angel and Val type deal but theres no need for that.
Mammon also talks alot about smiling. He is in the entertainment industry.
Before the clown show Mammon tells Fizz
"Smile, Fizzie. The Smile is what they like to see from ya."
Who else talks about smiling constantly and is a master of the art
Alastor.
I do have a feeling that the stitches are not in the proper formation to be what forces Alastor to smile but rather to to keep him from speaking about somthing. Thats a threory for another day.
but lastly biblically Greed is probbally the most powerful sin. Pride may rule hell but greed causes it to thrive.
The indian cree proverb. "You can't eat money." Means you can't get enough. SO you have to keep going with it.
And thats why I think Al could have made a deal with Satan or another sin but he chose Mammon because they are both greedy.
Mammon for Fame and money and Alastor for power.
But hey thats just a theory.....
A film theory ( hehehe I had too)

ok that's it. tomorrow i'm gonna publish my longer piece on why the modern day Arab Palestinians are NOT the same as the Ancient Greek Philistines (who all died out around 604 BCE when the Babylonians sieged Jerusalem).
Edit: Click here to read the longer version, with links!
but the tl;dr version is this:
we know that the Philistines are Ancient Greeks based on DNA-testing that's been done on their skeletons, and based on their pottery and artifacts, which are Ancient Mycenaean Greek. (the Torah is consistent with this -- it records them as being from Crete, which at that time was under Mycenaean Greek control)
also, being Greeks, the Philistines were not indigenous to the Levant. they were interlopers. the native Israelites fought with the Philistines over and over. the story of David and Goliath is likely a cultural memory of this conflict.
in Hebrew, the Philistines are called Peleshet, and they are likely the same as the Peleset tribe -- one of the tribes of "Sea Peoples" who tried (and failed) to conquer Egypt at the end of the Bronze Age.
and like, duh. obviously the Arab Palestinians and the Greek Philistines are not the same people.
but there are some really bad actors (both in the conspiracy sense, and in the literal "drama" sense) on Tiktok who are trying to erase Jewish history by spreading conspiracy theories that somehow Philistines and Palestinians are "the same". (omg the people who believe this shit are so dumb!!)
they're doing it so they can claim that "Jesus was a Palestinian".
ugh, it gives me a headache even to write something as stupid as that.
no, ya dumb-dumbs. Jesus was a Judaean Jew. he was from Bethlehem. in Judaea.
you know, Judaea. the place where the Jews are from.
deep sigh.
and like, clearly these people have not read a Bible ... ever ... because being associated with the Philistines was NOT a good thing!! they were literally the worst!
the Philistines were Ancient Mycenaean Greeks from Crete.
and the Palestinians are modern day Arabs.
and there is zero connection between them.
the only "connection" is that after the Romans tried to murder all the Jews in the Levant, following the Jewish Bar Kochba revolt in 135 AD, the Romans renamed Judaea, and gave it the name "Syria-Palaestina". they did this to try to wipe the cultural memory of Jews "off the map". they literally went through the Torah, found the name of one of the Judaeans' historical enemies (the Philistines), and renamed the region using that name.
so by claiming that "Jesus was a Palestinian", not only are you calling him a Philistine (ew), you're also giving him the name that the ROMANS WHO CRUCIFIED HIM renamed Judaea after trying to murder LOTS OF OTHER JEWS.
G-d these people are so dumb!!!

New Crazy GOS2 Idea just dropped:
What if the first Crowley/Shax conversation in the park is actually after the end of s2?
"Evidence":
Crowley's sad:
Tumblr media
[I can't find a gif, but]
Shax specifically says "If you get wind of anything through your contact in the bookshop let me know"
To which Crowley replies "They don't talk to him anymore"
"your contact" and "they" meaning Muriel, who isn't talking to Aziraphale anymore?? maybe??
