I can't stop thinking about how funny it is that Aang had all this secret lore on Zuko because of the Blue Spirit that he just, didn't share with the Gaang. That boy knew that Zuko was capable of fighting extremely well without bending, was excellent with swords and unnaturally good at infiltration and espionage. And then just never brought it up.

Katara's yelling at Zuko on how he thinks he'd be able to find and break into the Sun Warrior Temple while Aang is fidgeting in the background. Sokka starts giving Zuko a hard time about his swords, asking if a spoiled prince would know how to use them. Aang is vibrating unsure of how to explain that Sokka Might Die if he tried to swordfight Zuko unprepared but now its been too long and it'd be super awkward to bring up.

#i understand why aang didnt bring up the blue spirit thing #just so funny that he has Zuko Lore expansion pack while the gaang just has the basic package #also tbf zuko ceased to be an issue from the north pole to bss #dude just wasn't around #until suddenly he helped collapse the biggest city in the earth kingdom and then wanted to join your cult #how exactly do you bring up he has sick sword knowledge #and that you sat on said information for months?#also if sokka knew zuko was a swordmaster he'd have tried to convert him ages ago

The deeply moralist tone that a lot of discussions about media representation take on here are primarily neoliberal before they are anything else. Like the shouting matches people get into about “purity culture” “pro/anti” etc nonsense (even if I think it’s true that some people have a deeply christian worldview about what art ought to say and represent about the world) are downstream of the basic neoliberal assumption that we can and must educate the public by being consumers in a market. “Bad representation” is often framed as a writer’s/developer’s/director’s/etc’s failure to properly educate their audience, or to educate them the wrong way with bad information about the world (which will compel their audience to act, behave, internalise or otherwise believe these bad representations about some social issue). Likewise, to “consume” or give money to a piece of media with Bad Representation is to legitimate and make stronger these bad representations in the world, an act which will cause more people to believe or internalise bad things about themselves or other people. And at the heart of both of those claims is, again, the assumption that mass public education should be undertaken by artists in a private market, who are responsible for creating moral fables and political allegories that they will instil in their audiences by selling it to them. These conversations often become pure nonsense if you don’t accept that the moral and political education of the world should be directed by like, studio executives or tv actors or authors on twitter. There is no horizon of possibility being imagined beyond purchasing, as an individual consumer in a market, your way into good beliefs about the world, instilled in you by Media Product

#just saw a very stupid post. but I will endure #these discussions also remind me of anti-vaxxer discourse #which in North America for Covid is framed as simply wanting to make the best informed choice as a consumer in a market*#ideas about public goods or civic responsibility towards others are incompatible with this consumer-citizen view of the world #like legitimately the idea of the consumer as the base civic unit of north american society is catastrophic for public health #and produces these interminable discourses about ‘media consumption’#which itself is a neoliberal framing! I think ‘media’ as a catchall term is neoliberal because it links all art with the commonality of #being a good sold in a market #*outside of outright fascist anti-vax beliefs I should say. Although from my research so far these things seem to overlap heavily lol #which is not surprising but the distinction is worth teasing out #.txt

NEW THOUGHT what if Zoro and Sanji are - by their own cultural standards, courting the other and that’s why the crew (who is mostly from the east blue) catch on to Zoro’s flirting but not to Sanji’s (North Blue flirting is more structured and discreet maybe?) and that’s why neither of them realise the other is flirting

#zoro x sanji #zosan #zosan fic idea #one piece zosan #black leg sanji #roronoa zoro #no but like what kind of flirting cultures could the east and north blue have #maybe like the north is through acts of service #and very specific things #so like Sanji serves food that to him is VERY obviously courting zoro #but zoro doesn’t react #and that makes Sanji annoyed #and they fight

I wonder how many people know that Maria's animals are the Four Symbols from Chinese/East Asian mythology. Didn't pick it up until the turtle appeared but when I tell you I screamed

#the vermillion bird of the south!!!#the black turtle of the north!!!#the white tiger from the west!!!#hjklahrlkjahsdf all we're missing is the azure dragon from the east now #although now i'm curious #where did maria get this ability from?#clearly not from her very christian father #and her mother is russian #not trying to be one of those people screaming “cultural appropriation” or something i'm just curious #especially since castlevania likes to explain where things come from and why people can do magic #castlevania #castlevania: nocturne #castlevania nocturne #castlevania netflix #maria renard
