I'm barely to the massacre and I can already tell I'm going to be screaming at every this-makes-no-sense decision made by the writers (your temple is under violent attack, and you evacuate the kids... to a barely enclosed corner in a prominent temple room? Instead of to the hundreds of sky bison that were highlighted as flying in earlier? Why?) (And Aang left to clear his head and think instead of to run from his duties? That's such a less compelling plot arc?) (And the show had him briefly monologue about being a goofy kid who loves pies and his friends instead of using the extended temple scene to show any of that? Didn't want to pay more child actors, did you, Netflix?)

Yeah I'm just. Going to be screaming at the screen instead of enjoying this. Different decisions aren't necessarily bad, but when those decisions seem to be in the direction of "show a man burning alive before we even get to the on-screen massacre" this is just... not the show for me.

#The original show emphasized the horror and sadness of the massacre by putting it in the context of people and culture lost #This one is going the Show People We Don't Know Burning Alive Clearly That Will Make More Of An Impression route #Gyatso's bones will always be the epitome of heart break #get out of here with your on-screen immolations just to demonstrate literally flashy cgi #Anyway someone tell me if the Omashu episode is worth watching in isolation I've seen gifs of Zuko getting brow-beat by Random Market Lady #And that DOES sound hilarious #But is the rest of the episode worth it or should I stick to gifs #This is like trying to decide if a barely-canon-divergent fanfic is worth slogging through #For its five fun new scenes #When the rest is just The Same As The Original But Worse #avatar the last airbender #atla #natla #netflix atla

i still can't believe there are folks who say "well GTN is annoying but you just have to get through it and then the other books aren't like that so you'll be fine."

personally i have been chasing the high of GTN ever since i first closed the book

#yes i love HTN but to me it was a slog! honestly pacing is not strong in any of these books #they're chock-full of reread value but unless you are looking deeper like that tbh not much happens plot-wise in each book #and HTN is the worst culprit because you get basically harrow just being miserable on the mithraeum for four acts #interspersed with chapters that are a different version of something you already read #the way i love each book is very different but GTN was FUN #you know?? #i miss it #(i miss her. gideon my dumb baby come back to me) #the locked tomb #gideon the ninth #nonasbirthday

The disclosure of the origin of Arlen Glass, that really touched me. Recently found quite by chance during the map cleaning.

How I (roughly) imagine this scale:

1- I see myself as a faster reader than the average person. I can breeze through a text quickly and still understand almost all of it

2- I read at a "normal" speed. I need to pace myself but can consistently read and comprehend a text in a reasonable time frame

3- I see myself as a slower reader than other people. It takes me a long time to get through a text and if I try to go too fast I won't understand it

Obviously this can vary by your mood, the type of text, etc. and this is a very imprecise scale with some overlap, I'm just casually curious!!

#i consider myself a sloooowwww reader #i dont really track it when reading for pleasure #but when im reading something dense like a political theory text i've realized i can only read 6 or 7 pages an hour (give or take) #in order for me to feel like im actually Getting It i need to stop and annotate while i read and also frequently re-read certain passages #this is on my mind because im reading a book for my thesis prepping for the semester and it is a slog for me #it's very interesting but i have to break it up into 45-60 minute chunks with breaks or else i'll go insane because of how long it takes me #it took me 4.5 hours to read 30 pages im not sure that's normal hahahahaaaaa #when i read for pleasure it's still slow i just dont have a stat lol

this popped into my head and i had to draw it As Fast As Humanly Possible

bonus:

#and then wally internalized it forever and Never let it go. he is the prettiest. Him. #i thought: hey theres that 'whos a good boy' bit dog owners do #yeah what if that happened w/ wally & barnaby but its role reversed #theyre so... their friendship is Important to me. i hope it falls apart <3 #theyre just so cute #the silliest fellas around.... #scribble salad #welcome home #i think that if i do a vines p.3 ill do it in this hasty slapdash. uh. can it be called a technique #instead of slogging through making sure its Clean #itll be better for it...

A couple quick drawings of my faves during ongoing Utena watching (have not drawn the actual best character yet (Chuchu))

#utena #revolutionary girl utena #juri arisugawa #wakaba shinohara #utena spoilers #revolutionary girl utena spoilers #i art 👍 #loving it very much so far #except black rose arc #was not a fan #maybe upon rewatch i'll like it but fuck man #what a slog #no one does anything #while traumatic shit happens to them constantly #it's all in the end about Some Guy #wakaba episodes were mostly good though #same for juri and shiori's #like they were all good im concept #but ugh the execution

Ngl I’m proud of her face here and I really need to finish this wip

#I normally save faces till the end since they’re my favorite part #it helps me to get through all the stuff I hate working on so I have something to look forward to #which is why this one is a slog to work on now since I did that first rip #wip #I will finish you someday

Sometimes, I'm sad about the hobbies I have abandoned or have been too intimidated to pick up. But... what good is it, to just beat myself up over that? My bass is sitting in the corner, patiently waiting, and so is everything else. My life isn't over, and I've got nothing to answer to. I'm wading through a sea of time, and I'll pick up the seashells that interest me, and it's okay to put one back in the sand. The current's waves will bring it back to me if that is to be destiny. I can not hate myself into productivity, so I must swim on.

I think the same can apply to anybody. It's okay if you have dropped something, such as a hobby or passion. Human beings are like that sometimes, it isn't reasonable for you to beat yourself into submission. You, too, can not hate yourself into being a well-rounded person. You must cultivate it like you would a garden - with patience, time, and care.

#positivity #encouraging words #i feel like so often people will try to hate themselves into being 'better' people... #...like fitness for instance. so many people slog through fitness not because they are interested in moving their body... #..but because they are told they must do [x] workout or look [y] way... #...and so it becomes a chore that is a means to an end. but... is that how we ought to live you think? #like i go to the gym because it's FUN. i go there to have FUN. i do what is enjoyable there! #i don't worry about anything but if i am doing a weightlife correctly (for safety) and if i am moving and having fun #why would i go to the gym if i am not having fun? fun is a *human need* regardless of age! #we are wired to do fun things - to seek out pleasure. why should we surpress that? #a well-rounded person is somebody who can be in-tune with their feelings and can recognize what is enjoyable... #...and not only that but to not feel *bad* about their feelings or needs changing (this is - at least - my opinion) #i thought this was an interesting conversation and something i sometimes struggle with and see others struggle with

Henry Oak saying “I’m a polyamorous white guy, of course I know Dungeons and Dragons” proves yet again that Will Campos is the funniest person on this fucking podcast

#dungeons and daddies #dungeons and dads #dndads #will campos #henry oak #i could add more tags but whatever. I’m fucking DYING I literally started cackling in the middle of the sidewalk #I WISH I HAD SOMEONE TO SCREAM WITH ABOUT THIS!!!!!!! #(Also unfortunately I’m reminded yet again that season 1 is just inherently funnier and more entertaining than season 2. #I get a lot of people are die-hard for season 2 but I just can’t get through it—it’s like slogging through a tar pit most episodes #and I think that’s cuz for me personally the dnd podcast has to be funny first and emotional second #and season 2 feels like the reverse #Like. The season 1 pc’s were BUILT to be funny #But the season 2 pc’s were built to expand on the season 1 narrative. See the difference? #ANYWAYS this bonus episode reminds me I’ll always have season 1 :’D #And the bonus content #And whatever they do after season 2 (assuming it gets better haha!) #mine #just some thoughts
