So when a celebrity says something pro Palestine or even pro Hamas everyone goes "yeah woo celebrities should always use their platform to talk about issues"
But when a celebrity says "actually killing Israelis is bad" suddenly celebrities shouldn't get involved in conflicts and shouldn't use their platform to talk about issues
It's so blatant that people just mean "celebrities should only boost the opinions we deem correct and should never ever express sympathy for Jews, that's so lame"
I'm so done

katara's power is so well tuned and considering her power to be the 'calmest' of all the four powers and yet she is the strongest amongst them and we along with Zuko witness just how POWERFUL she is. Her vengeance fueled with her immense control in waterbending is seen when she blood bent the replacement of her mother's killer and turned the rain into icicle shards.
Even when she goes against Hama who has learnt to bloodbend during her time in captivity Katara manages to hold her stance against her, and instead of diverting the water she blocks it which she learns in Toph earthbending and then incorporating it in waterbending.
Conclusion: katara is absolutely a power of force to not be reckoned with and she is epic

Elimination Round: Ozai Ships
Find Ozai/Katara HERE
He's the baddy daddy, voted world's worst fail father (by me) and his hotness both literal and figurative can't be understated.
Fire Lord Ozai has already had ships featured in elimination rounds for other characters, so the selection here is limited to what hasn't yet been voted on. As such only 2 ships will advance for this elimination round.

knights sparring together ft. hama and still unnamed knight (clay's father)
Tumblr media
i'm very happy with their poses - they don't look forced or anything!
press the picture for better resolution *whisper whisper* OH!
as you can see, their performance attracted an audience so i made an extra sketch and colored it ;D
Tumblr media
uncolored sketch and a bit of explanation/headcanon below the line
it took me a while to figure out but since nobody knows what clay's father's name is (not even the wiki) that means he has his mother's surname. which means the bird is the moorington crest... so clay's father's colors are now purple with still in the works crest *shrugs in I need names and I haven't looked at any theories for who clay's father is*
Tumblr media
they are smitten... even if they aren't that close of friends, knight's lovers' solidarity exists I guess.

The last one is the best...
One of these Videos is long. You have been informed.
This is Mosab Hassan Yousef, Son of a Hamas Leader, speaking Facts about Islam and about Muhammad.
Due to his Contributions (and more) in saving many innocent Lives from the Activities of Islamic Terrorists, he is called The Green Prince.
I hope this collection of Videos helps the people realize the Truth about Islam and about the Warmongering, oppressive, woman-hating Muhammad.

Jesus is Under the Rubble
“This Advent, while global Christians prepare to commemorate the arrival of the Prince of Peace, our Palestinian kin in Gaza suffer unthinkable violence. Their cries of deliverance, echoing those of two millennia ago, seem to be falling unheard on the United States.”

— by Kelly Latimore icons. All proceeds from sales of this digital image will go toward Red Letter Christians trusted partners in Gaza.
Transcript: Christ in the Rubble A Liturgy of Lament Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac Evangelical Lutheran Christmas Church Bethlehem Saturday, December 23rd, 2023 We are angry…
We are broken…
This should have been a time of joy; instead, we are mourning. We are fearful.
Twenty thousand killed. Thousands under the rubble still. Close to 9,000 children killed in the most brutal ways. Day after day after day. 1.9 million displaced! Hundreds of thousands of homes were destroyed. Gaza as we know it no longer exists. This is an annihilation. A genocide.
The world is watching; Churches are watching. Gazans are sending live images of their own execution. Maybe the world cares? But it goes on.
We are asking, could this be our fate in Bethlehem? In Ramallah? In Jenin? Is this our destiny too?
We are tormented by the silence of the world. Leaders of the so-called “free” lined up one after the other to give the green light for this genocide against a captive population. They gave the cover. Not only did they make sure to pay the bill in advance, they veiled the truth and context, providing political cover. And, yet another layer has been added: the theological cover with the Western Church stepping into the spotlight.
The South African Church taught us the concept of “The state theology,” defined as “the theological justification of the status quo with its racism, capitalism and totalitarianism.” It does so by misusing theological concepts and biblical texts for its own political purposes.
Here in Palestine, the Bible is weaponized against our very own sacred text. In our terminology in Palestine, we speak of the Empire. Here we confront the theology of the Empire. A disguise for superiority, supremacy, “chosenness,” and entitlement. It is sometimes given a nice cover using words like mission and evangelism, fulfillment of prophecy, and spreading freedom and liberty. The theology of the Empire becomes a powerful tool to mask oppression under the cloak of divine sanction. It divides people into “us” and “them.” It dehumanizes and demonizes. It speaks of land without people even when they know the land has people – and not just any people. It calls for emptying Gaza, just like it called the ethnic cleansing in 1948 “a divine miracle.” It calls for us Palestinians to go to Egypt, maybe Jordan, or why not just the sea?
“Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?” they said of us. This is the theology of Empire.
This war has confirmed to us that the world does not see us as equal. Maybe it is the color of our skin. Maybe it is because we are on the wrong side of the political equation. Even our kinship in Christ did not shield us. As they said, if it takes killing 100 Palestinians to get a single “Hamas militant” then so be it! We are not humans in their eyes. (But in God’s eyes… no one can tell us we are not!)
The hypocrisy and racism of the Western world is transparent and appalling! They always take the words of Palestinians with suspicion and qualification. No, we are not treated equally. Yet, the other side, despite a clear track record of misinformation, is almost always deemed infallible!
To our European friends. I never ever want to hear you lecture us on human rights or international law again. We are not white— it does not apply to us according to your own logic.
In this war, the many Christians in the Western world made sure the Empire has the theology needed. It is self-defense, we were told! (And I ask: how?)
In the shadow of the Empire, they turned the colonizer into the victim, and the colonized into the aggressor. Have we forgotten that the state was built on the ruins of the towns and villages of those very same Gazans?
We are outraged by the complicity of the church. Let it be clear: Silence is complicity, and empty calls for peace without a ceasefire and end to occupation, and the shallow words of empathy without direct action— are all under the banner of complicity. So here is my message: Gaza today has become the moral compass of the world. Gaza was hell on earth before October 7th.
If you are not appalled by what is happening; if you are not shaken to your core— there is something wrong with your humanity. If we, as Christians, are not outraged by this genocide, by the weaponizing of the Bible to justify it, there is something wrong with our Christian witness, and compromising the credibility of the Gospel!
If you fail to call this a genocide. It is on you. It is a sin and a darkness you willingly embrace.
Some have not even called for a ceasefire.
I feel sorry for you. We will be okay. Despite the immense blow we have endured, we will recover. We will rise and stand up again from the midst of destruction, as we have always done as Palestinians, although this is by far the biggest blow we have received in a long time.
But again, for those who are complicit, I feel sorry for you. Will you ever recover from this?
Your charity, your words of shock AFTER the genocide, won’t make a difference. Words of regret will not suffice for you. We will not accept your apology after the genocide. What has been done, has been done. I want you to look at the mirror… and ask: where was I?
To our friends who are here with us: You have left your families and churches to be with us. You embody the term accompaniment— a costly solidarity. “We were in prison and you visited us.” What a stark difference from the silence and complicity of others. Your presence here is the meaning of solidarity. Your visit has already left an impression that will never be taken from us. Through you, God has spoken to us that “we are not forsaken.” As Father Rami of the Catholic Church said this morning, you have come to Bethlehem, and like the Magi, you brought gifts with, but gifts that are more precious than gold, frankincense, and myrrh. You brought the gift of love and solidarity.
We needed this. For this season, maybe more than anything, we were troubled by the silence of God. In these last two months, the Psalms of lament have become a precious companion. We cried out: My God, My God, why have you forsaken Gaza? Why do you hide your face from Gaza?
In our pain, anguish, and lament, we have searched for God, and found him under the rubble in Gaza. Jesus became the victim of the very same violence of the Empire. He was tortured. Crucified. He bled out as others watched. He was killed and cried out in pain— My God, where are you?
In Gaza today, God is under the rubble.
And in this Christmas season, as we search for Jesus, he is to be found not on the side of Rome, but our side of the wall. In a cave, with a simple family. Vulnerable. Barely, and miraculously surviving a massacre. Among a refugee family. This is where Jesus is found.
If Jesus were to be born today, he would be born under the rubble in Gaza. When we glorify pride and richness, Jesus is under the rubble.
When we rely on power, might, and weapons, Jesus is under the rubble.
When we justify, rationalize, and theologize the bombing of children, Jesus is under the rubble.
Jesus is under the rubble. This is his manger. He is at home with the marginalized, the suffering, the oppressed, and displaced. This is his manger.
I have been looking, contemplating on this iconic image….God with us, precisely in this way. THIS is the incarnation. Messy. Bloody. Poverty.
This child is our hope and inspiration. We look and see him in every child killed and pulled from under the rubble. While the world continues to reject the children of Gaza, Jesus says: “just as you did it to one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did it to me.” “You did to ME.” Jesus not only calls them his own, he is them!
We look at the holy family and see them in every family displaced and wandering, now homeless in despair. While the world discusses the fate of the people of Gaza as if they are unwanted boxes in a garage, God in the Christmas narrative shares in their fate; He walks with them and calls them his own.
This manger is about resilience— صمود. The resilience of Jesus is in his meekness; weakness, and vulnerability. The majesty of the incarnation lies in its solidarity with the marginalized. Resilience because this very same child, rose up from the midst of pain, destruction, darkness and death to challenge empires; to speak truth to power and deliver an everlasting victory over death and darkness.
This is Christmas today in Palestine and this is the Christmas message. It is not about Santa, trees, gifts, lights… etc. My goodness how we twisted the meaning of Christmas. How we have commercialized Christmas. I was in the USA last month, the first Monday after Thanksgiving, and I was amazed by the amount of Christmas decorations and lights, all the and commercial goods. I couldn’t help but think: They send us bombs, while celebrating Christmas in their land. They sing about the prince of peace in their land, while playing the drum of war in our land.
Christmas in Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus, is this manger. This is our message to the world today. It is a Gospel message, a true and authentic Christmas message, about the God who did not stay silent, but said his word, and his Word is Jesus. Born among the occupied and marginalized. He is in solidarity with us in our pain and brokenness.
This manger is our message to the world today – and it is simply this: this genocide must stop NOW. Let us repeat to the world: STOP this Genocide NOW.
This is our call. This is our plea. This is our prayer. Hear oh God. Amen.

I can't stop you ascribing hateful, paranoid meanings to these images, but they're not about blaming religions. Jesus was a Jew born to a community of Jews in Palestine, the cradle of the Abrahamic faiths. He was raised and loved by them, betrayed by their rulers* and killed by Romans. He's a Prophet of Islam. End of.
*Y'know, like how the people of the Arab and Muslim nations love Palestine and crying to help them, except their leaders are greedy and rotted to the core. The ruling class will always only serve the empire.

Prompt: the southern riders come back when Katara is 10 years old, the tribe warriors fight as hard as they can but there's not enough of them and she gets taken to a prison in the Fire Nation where they keep her away from the water
A year later Hama shows up and gets her out using blood bending, it's practically a suicide mission to try to break any of her fellow water bendings out which is why she never did it but Hama can't let a child from her tribe there so she risks it as soon as she hears the news of Katara being there
Hama raises Katara in the traditions of their tribe and teachers her water bending in secret at night, they can't go back home since the Fire Nation ships control the seas between here and there so she tells the neighbours Katara is her granddaughter who came to live with her from the colonies because her parents died in the war and sends her to school dresses in red every morning but tells her the stories of their tribe before bed every night
Katara grows up feeling divided between her heritage (which Hama makes sure she feels connected to) and her friends in the Fire Nation who are nothing like the monsters who took her from home and took her mother from her before that
The day she turns 15 Hama tries to make her help killing someone she knows (a classmate, a neighbour, maybe the parent of a friend of hers) using bloodbending and she can't take it anymore, she runs away from "home"
She ends up in the capital and takes up a job at the palace (there's a lot of turn over since the royal family is kind of volatile so they are always looking for new people) just in time for Prince Zuko to come back to the Fire Nation, having just killed the Avatar and conquered Ba Sing Se with the help of his sister
Katara couldn't kill some poor peasants whose biggest crime was being born in the Fire Nation but she can and will kill the person responsible for taking the Avatar and the hope he represents away from this world
All she needs to do is get close to him without him suspecting on a full moon night
Bestie, this is bat shit insane. This is a crazy good plot. But this gonna take me a long while to even attempt to do so I hope you are patient with me. I'm still a very amateur writer in terms of story writing but I would like to attempt to write this one day. If you permit me can I change some points in the plot such as the aging characters up to make it easier for me?

The Prince of Wales will recognise the scale of “human suffering” caused by the war in Gaza in his first public comments on the conflict since it began last October.
Prince William, 41, expressed “profound concern” about the ongoing violence in the Middle East ahead of an engagement on Tuesday, in which he will meet aid workers involved with the humanitarian effort in the enclave.
The Prince will be briefed on the latest developments in Gaza and how charities are supporting those on the ground. He has been “closely following” the Gaza conflict since the Hamas terror attacks in Israel on Oct 7, the Telegraph understands.
He will join a synagogue discussion with young campaigners against hatred next week, in the wake of a sharp rise in anti-Semitism caused by the conflict.
The Prince is keen to use his platform to highlight the plight of millions of innocent civilians on both sides. The two engagements will be among the first he has conducted since returning from looking after his wife as she recovered from abdominal surgery, and their three children.
A Kensington Palace spokesperson said: “The Prince and Princess were profoundly concerned by events that unfolded in late 2023 and continue to hold all the victims, their family and friends in their hearts and minds.
“Their Royal Highnesses continue to share in the hope of a better future for all those affected.”
The two public engagements to be undertaken by the Prince this week come ahead of an expected Israeli invasion of Rafah, a border city straddling both Gaza and Egypt that is now home to 1.5 million Palestinians, and an all-time in anti-Semitism.

what’s your take on zutara being “you’re the wind, i’m in the water”. i’ve heard k@t@@ngs saying it’s clearly about their ship bc their elements are air and water but isn’t that a very surface level of understanding of the lyrics?
anon, i adore you for this ask because i love chemtrails over the country club (and lana's music in general).
i'm not surprised that people would try to apply this song to katara and aang because yes, at a surface level it's relevant to them for obvious reasons (water vs. wind), but i agree that the lyrics have far more depth than this.
first, we have to look at the context of the lyrics within the song. "you're in the wind, i'm in the water" presents a romanticized view of the separation of two lovers, just as the two elements brush past each other but never become one. this theme of separation is seen throughout the rest of the song as lana contrasts the privileged bubble of suburbia with the harsh reality of society, the darkness lurking behind a beautiful front.
likewise, zuko and katara have similar character arcs that revolve around an awakening to the harsh truths of society. zuko learns that the beauty and the power of the fire nation is just a facade, hiding the extreme cruelty of its colonialism and imperalism that has hurt all people (which goes hand-in-hand with zuko unlearning the abuse from his father, the personification of the fire nation itself). katara's arc involves a similar type of awakening, as she unlearns some of the dichotomous thinking she's held around the fire nation. her experiences with jet, hama, the sexism of the northern water tribe, the fire nation village in the painted lady, and even zuko show her the complexities of the war and teach her that people aren't always as simple as "good" or "evil." essentially, both zuko and katara undergo parallel character arcs that fundamentally change their worldview, reflective of the theme of chemtrails over the country club.
additionally, the "wind" and "water" that symbolize the separation of the two lovers in the song is also reminiscent of zuko and katara's journey - the two characters that have been pitted against each other from the beginning of the show, their opposing goals of protecting the avatar vs. capturing the avatar, daughter of the chieftain of the southern water tribe vs. prince of the fire nation, and the two characters that end every season finale in an climactic fight scene (first on opposing sides, then on the same side). and if you want an even more bittersweet perspective, there's also the fact that they are doomed by the narrative, two lovers who never end up together in this lifetime, fated to be separated.
if we want to look further into the song, i've also seen the lyric "nobody's son, nobody's daughter" being superficially applied to aang and katara as they have both experienced loss, but again, in the context of the actual show, it's katara and zuko who are repeatedly paralleled with this connection of losing their mothers and being separated from their fathers. katara discusses her grief over losing kya with haru, jet, and aang, but it's only her and zuko's connection over this that carries actual narrative weight in the story. and katara is the only person that zuko discusses the loss of his mother with. so it only makes sense that all of these narrative parallels culminate in the southern raiders, an episode vital to katara's character arc in which zuko is a crucial supporting character. you could also argue this ties in with the overall theme of separation in the song - being separated from your parentage and having to forge your own path.
finally, as a fun little addition, one of the other lyrics in the song is "my moon's in leo, my cancer is sun." and hmm, who are the two characters we typically associate with the moon and sun? (hint: "you rise with the moon, i rise with the sun"). but wait - it goes even deeper than that. i am most definitely not an expert on zodiac signs, but according to some basic googling, leo (a fire element) is typically ruled by the sun, while cancer (a water element) is typically ruled by the moon. by switching up what elements we typically associate with the signs, lana is reflecting on the duality and the unpredictability of herself like how she reflects on the duality of society earlier in the song. and similarly, zuko and katara undergo dual character arcs bound by elemental symbolism. despite being a waterbender, katara also personifies the element of fire - the element of passion, power, and will - as she stands up against injustice and refuses to back down from a fight. and despite being a firebender, zuko's arc also personifies the element of water - the element of change and adaptability - as zuko's perception of himself, his father, and the fire nation changes over time. they are both water and fire, both moon and sun, both yin and yang.

What do you think about a Zutara version of the disney movie the princess and the frog?
I think that would be really cute!
Katara as Tina working to fulfill her and her late mother's dreams in owning a famous restaurant. But it's hard to do living in the Fire Nation and their lingering prejudices against Water Tribe people. Her wealthy best friend Ty Lee supports her the best way she can, but Katara wants to build the restaurant on her own merit. Still, Ty Lee hires Katara to cater for her ball where she plans to dance with the prince.
Meanwhile, Prince Zuko is banished from the palace by Firelord Iroh for being too prideful and entitled. Admiral Zhao is assigned to keep an eye on him. Desperate to return to his plush life, Zuko sets out to restore his status by marrying a princess or heiress. In doing so, he strikes a deal with Hama the Shadow Bender and gets turned into a badger-frog. Zhao steals his place.
Zhao, disguised as Zuko, attends the party to dance with Ty Lee. Katara finally make enough money to by the Sugar Mill she wanted to turn into her restaurant, but the bank lenders raise the price on her and gives her three days to pay in full or they'll sell the Sugar Mill. They then insult her and caused an accident, leaving Katara's outfit in ruins.
Ty Lee sees and takes her friend to her room to clean her up. She gives Katara a new dress and styles her hair, making her look like a real princess. Ty Lee goes back to the dance, eager to return the to prince, leaving Katara behind. Katara breaks down and wishes on a star, something she believed was a useless practice, when she meets badger-frog Zuko.
Zuko mistakes her for a real princess and tells Katara what happened. He promised to help her if she kisses him to break the spell. Katara's disgusted but agrees anyway.
And well, you know the rest.

Y’all who are supporting Hamas are on the wrong side of history. You also insult the memory of Prince Philip who served in WWII. Hamas = Nazis. Period. Hamas booby trapped all of Gaza. You want the war to stop? Hamas needs to be defeated as the Nazis were. What’s different now is that Israel is pretty much fighting alone. Yes, countries are sending aid, but that’s it. TBH, the IDF is the best trained to deal with the tunnels.

Why Saudi Prince's comparing Hamas to Indian Freedom Struggle
Do you agree or disagree with the Saudi Prince’s comparision of Hamas to freedom struggle of India is wrong. Is Hamas worthy of comparision? Read this opinion piece and share your thoughts.
Lets call the statement Saudi Prince Hamas statement. Recently a statement was made by the Prince Turki al-Faisal, a former senior government official and intelligence chief of Saudi Arabia.
