Lowkey wanna write a fic where like Chishiya knows magic tricks and either uses them to flirt continuously with Arisu OR uses them to like trick people into giving him their cards (including hatter and or Aguni). except I don't write so this shall forever stay a forgotten thought never expanded upon lmao
Team natsu (minus Wendy for obvious reasons) are all dating each other. Sorry it’s cannon, the voices in my head told me.
There’s no difference between the arc reactor and keeping crystals in your bra tbh.
Ozai would be SO into looksmaxing. He invented it. He mews in his sleep.
I've been so negative to the LA so heres a few things that I genuinely loved. Spoiles ahead. duh.
Sukis eye make up. the yellow blend into red? a nice subtle change to her character design that reallly adds to her
Zuko having those avatar dolls and their eyes lighting up. was cute
Zuko getting so hissy and destroying his room cuss his journal was missing. very relatable, very silly, the way Iroh is just kinda there realllly shows their dynamic well and also shows how Zuko IS just a stressed teenager
all the maps and drawings on the walls. they are very pretty and I'd love to have some of them irl
the entire scene of Suki and Sokka training together. Sokka slowly following her, Suki directing his moves and changing his forms. it felt like a dance and reallly highlighted how beutiful and deadly martial arts can be. it was also just filmed very sweetly with little noise beyond a sound track and grunts. Genuinely the best scene of episode 2 (and maybe the whole show).
Zuko unirioncally trying to fight Kyoshi??? it was so random but SO fitting. I aspire to be as stupid as this dumbass.
Sokka going "leader vs leader" to Zuko when asking him to fight was very cute and I HOPE they keep this style of interactions in like season 3 if they get that far.
JET USING THE HOOKS ON HIS SWORDS TO CONNECT THEM AND USE THEM AS ONE LARGE EXTENDED SWORD??? so intresting. SUCH a good use of props and how dynamic the fights in this show COULD be.
Longshot. Idk they are just so funny to me, I love how they are just casually posed on a tree as they shoot the first arrow.
the mechanist telling Sokka that he's tallented when it comes to engineering. it was very sweet, although I feel like it might bite the writers in the ass eventually. but for now it was very sweet.
I know in a past post I complained that Aang taught her bending to much, BUT Jet helping her open up about her mother and it helping her bending was an intresting take. I can see why people would hate it, but also why people would like it. Its intresting, its unique, and introduces an intresting paralel of Katara struggling to bend because of her emotions, and (hopefully) zuko facing that same issue later on in the series.
OMA AND SHU. best change of the entire series, truly the ultimate step up from the og, it works so well. I've seen this change in fanfiction and always loved it there, so happy it's now in a cannon media. Also the art work as they explain is very very beutiful.
Jets actor is honestly pretty fucking good. his "I thought you were on our side. On my side" speech in episode 4 was very sweetly done and it FELT complex with his emotions. espeically the choked up "i am nothing like the firebenders" MY GOD. Its a different take on Jet that shows a bit more of his sympathy then in the show and I think it realllly works. Props to the actor.
Zuko struggling to lie during episode 4 and make up excuses as he walks around the prision. Its so fucking funny to see him struggle and be all "well...my comanders gonna be pissed if I don't get to my duty in times" its so funny. I love Dallas I think he does a great job with Zuko and his characterisation will only get better if the show continues.
changing it to Sokka and Katara in the cave from Aang and Katara is honestly pretty cute? I know it takes away from the building romance with Katara and aang (although the show has cut so many of their interactions then this time it really WOULD feel forced) BUT it does work to expand and examine the theme of family that Avatar as a thing LOVES. Its espeically sweet arfter we've seen Katara and Sokka struggling deeply with each others wants and desires earlier in the show (espeically since this is stright arfter Jet). ( I am slightly pissed that its KATARA who is the skeptic in the tunnels. they could have the same argument with Katara being the one to believe. but oh well). Their argument was well worth it, it was long building, and truly felt like the two had buckled under the stress of leaving their tribe. Plus with the glowing crystals its like they are surrounded by stars which I think adds to the idea of missing home.
finishing the song secret tunel to then go "yeah there doomed!" with the biggest smile on his face. 10/10 comedy.
The arctitexture of the Omashu palace AND the crystals he bends are extrodinarily stunning. I mean the crytals look like smash beer bottles when broken, but when they are crystals???? suppper pretty.
ZUKOS PONY TAIL DOES THE PONY TAIL SWING BACK AND FORTH! Okay I know this is dumb, ut in the animation it didn''t happen as much or as extreme so it pleases me that real world physics are happening. Plus its just so silly.
The earth benders talking about how much was LOST during Irohs siege of ba sing se was pretty powerful. I've always been slightly irked that they wash over Irohs past and that he is JUST a good person, so it felt pretty cool that they took the time to kinda have him be....confronted by it? "I was a soilder" "you were a butcher!". It was a very quick examination of grief and ptsd, we got to see Irohs own sort of views about what happened, we got to see another persons desire for revenge because of the war, it was an odd scene for what we know of Iroh but it WAS intresting.
The funeral scene. "what a great honour for you and Lu ten to die in service of the fire nation" AND THEN ZUKO ACTING LIKE IT WAS WRONG TO SAY THAT. god. And then offering the medal that lu ten gave him to Iroh to properly comfort him? I was sobbing. It was a beutiful examination of Zukos conflict with what is expected of him, and what he WANTS to do. and then sitting by his side when no one else would? and Irohs tears only NOW comming once Zuko joined him? It was reallly and beutiful scene. I am so happy they added this.
genuinely when it was revealed that the tunnels where changing??? chills. I expected it. but it still shook me to my core. Maybe its cuss of the funeral scene before hand but either way props to them.
Okay so the animals sometimes looks goofy, BUT they also express WHAT they are so well. I love all the animals they look so fluffy and silly.
Iroh using the chains against hte earth soilders, once again some fun fight choreography and I am living for it.
Katara finding the badgermoles reacting to emotions with like...wonder and then Sokka going all "soo uhhh Mr badgermole" Was SO cute and in character.
Sometimes theres issues with the earth bending speed, but in the Bumi and Aang fight I found all the speed rather fitting. When he threw rocks, he THREW them. espeically the smaller rocks those shits are DEADLY. I mean that recreations of the animations scene where he bends over the rock looks goofy, like I get it but it didn't quite translate well BUT The rest of the fight looked pretty good. (and whilst I GET why it was important for Aang to face this challenge of this or that, it was upsetting for BUMI to be the one to do that. There are multiple other characters where it would make more sense, with Bumi being an old friend it just feels wrong. "you think like a child" "Is that really so bad?" was very sweet though.). I think Im a little over critical of what they've done to Bumi. it is a sweet story line and I can KINDA understand Bumis stance. realistically it wasn't that awful of a change its just jarring cuss its BUMI. Love his dress though I think it REALLY adds to this diversity of cultures and earth kingdom citys.
Seeing Zuko with that bandages arround his head and all his hair kinda really hurt. Also the use of leaves from the vine again. very sweet. "home. everything I need is on this boat" IT MADE ME SOB SO FAST. For all this shows changes, the changes they do with Zuko and Iroh work. The way Zuko saw the air bison and STILL chose getting his uncle to safty over even mentioning them? wonderful.
THE ICE DISKS! KATARA LITERALLY SAYING SHE GOT IT FROM THE EARTH BENDERS! its pretty cool. I like that they are already going deep with the benders taking elements from other bending styles is super fun!
Sokka and the little girl
The way that I understood it was that supernatural creatures like Seers or witches/mages where encoded into their DNA. Like no matter what Ethan and Benny did there was no way to never NOT become these supernatural creatures (even if they did have special moments to 'unlock' this ability. Although for me it feels more akin to learning to run rather than magical girl transformation type unlocking but thats boring). On the otherhand things like vampirism or lycanthropy are similar to a disease but just....amplified. and so the miracle cure would then work as an almost super antibody rather than a purification of anything supernatural. It's a vacine not holy water ya feel? Although this view is also SOOO borring and basic so ya know ignore me.
Okay so Ethan drank the Supernatural all cure and he was still a seer after, I feel like this tells us something but I can't quite articulate what right now
Not to be rude but if your opinion is "random 'friendship is magic' moments in shows ruin the entire thing"....I don't think FairyTail is worth watching for you??? I see that as the main critism and like thats kinda intertwined with the themes of Fairy Tail.
Like the fights are essentially just there to look cool and to force the bonds between the guild into a position of strain. They are blatantly plot devices and they don't try to hide it. They are entertaining because your main characters are casting magic and hitting people; what they arn't is amazingly planned out in each detail to make sure no character is winning in a situation where they shouldn't. Cuss it just ain't that kinda media. Go watch something else and save yourself the time cuss you just fundimentally dislike a core device of the show ya know?
what types on fandoms characters write fanfics for except I take it off fandoms ive written for within my life. Arisu: Final fantasy Usagi: Voltron Kuina: Disney channel movies (specifically camp rock and lemonade mouth) Chishiya: paradise lost Aguni: hamlet, Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet. man likes his Shakespeare Hatter: mlp and paradise lost Niragi: mlp but the brony kind (I have not written this however it fits him) Karube: the illiad. oh and stardew valley chouta: pokemon
wait wait wait this has been said ( if I'm even correct in rembering) but didn't Karube legit like call for Arisu to look at him in his last moments before his head just went BOOM?? like???? that's kinda fucked??? and like they knew at the very least their gonna be killed AND YET YOU CHOOSE TO HAVE YOUR LOVER BEST FRIEND WATCH YOUR DEATH AND BE FORCED TO LOOK AT YOUR DEAD BODY FOR LIKE WHAT REASONS??? AS A LAST PRANK? like yo sorry dude for making you see my neck get lowkey exploded and watch as my dead body just flops to the ground but dude calm down it was just a prank bro no need to get all sad over it. LIKE ITS KIDNA WHACK ???? but like idk get it you dramatic homo do your thing
Realised o have a habit of just randomly never going back on this forsaken app. Don’t know if it’s smarter to not come back but I always do and always just spam posts and then vanish and forget about what o spammed. Fun times
