I discovered “Avatar the last Airbender” very late, and finally watched it for the first time 2 months ago.

What a Fucking. Great. Show. Michael Dante DiMartino, Bryan Konietzko : Thank you for existing.

So I animated Aang and Katara, dance-bending (inspired from the episode “The Headband”)

Because they make a great team together.

#no wonder the sewer kobolds left #bad enough no one appreciated the important work they did #they probably chose their leader based on who had tripped into the most evil lairs and lived to tell about it #bg3 spoilers #baldur's gate 3

#cis girl #who is very short #who voted for shorter than me #i have never met this mythical person #but based on the one time i put an arm around a girl who was 1 inch shorter than me #i very much wish to wrap my partner up and carry them everywhere #alas i will have to settle for being carried

i need feminism because when jesus does a magic trick it’s a goddamn miracle but when a woman does a magic trick she gets burned at the stake

au where the one “person” who stumbles out of the fade alive at the conclave is really just an envy demon doing their best. this makes no sense but consider: it would be really funny

re: that last post, ive said it before and ill say it again: no one deserves to die (deserving is fake and death is bad) but some people need to be stopped and choose to make death the only way to stop them

If you just saw this, no you didn't.

I remade it to say this applies whether you played it yourself or watched someone play it!

There's only two options because a third for wet eyes or like a single tear would probably muck up the poll, somehow.

Crying is up to personal interpretation, I guess, so if you felt like your reaction would count, then vote Yes.

Otherwise, vote no.

(I'm curious after watching Ray play Like a Dragon Gaiden and him talking about the last game that made him cry tbh.)

Writing Advice: How to Create Conflict when Your Characters are Competent.

Featuring Leverage, the ultimate in Competency Porn.

Make them so good it gets them in trouble. So you've got a hacker and he's the best, definitively. Okay, well, one of his fake IDs just got called for jury duty. You pretended to be a psychic so well, someone kidnapped you to talk to a dead crime lord.

Make them targets. You're so good, enemies you didn't even know about are trying to kill you just so they won't have to take you on in your element. You're being blackmailed into doing a thing because you're the only one that can.

Limit the scope of competency. Sure, you're competent as a fighter, but your hacker is in jail and now you have to do his job and you are not competent in that. Yeah, you can climb a building, but do you know what you need to do to not end up in a crevasse while climbing a mountain?

Raise the stakes. Can you handle extracting a orphan being used by a washed up actress to fund her extravagant lifestyle? Yes. But can you handle extracting 30 orphans being used by the Slovenian mob to fund gunrunning? Maybe all you wanted was to get enough money to buy back a house, but instead you have to ruin the company so that all houses they illegally obtained are returned to their rightful owners.

Make others competent, too. Your characters are the best, but are they the best of the best? If you take you enemy down, do you go, too? If you win, does it make them win? Does it get out of hand and make other people start noticing when you're trying to keep your head down? Do they know every trick in the book and know the next move before you make it?

Make others painfully incompetent. Your characters are the best, but are they woefully unprepared for people who are not even good? Can your hologram hacker roll with it when the vital information is on a casset tape? Is the old mentor up to date on the recent technology, or is he going to screw you because he assumes the cops are just as corrupt/incompetent as when he was young?

Have some standards. Specifically, morals that make it impossible for your characters to back out or gets them in trouble for doing things "off-script." You can't leave on the train someone just stole for you because you've got to go back and stop the bad guys from bombing the IRS (even if we don't like them). You wish you could just say no to that assassin contract and leave, but someone's getting assassinated and you have to stop it because you're a good guy.

Bring up the past. Do you think that bad guy you brutally scarred a decade ago is going to carry a grudge? Do you have to save your ex-wife from the bad guy, who may also be her boyfriend, and if you suggest that she'll shut you out and you won't be able to save her or get paid? It's Draaamaaaa, babee.
