Okay So Not A On-shot BUT:

my friend got mad that I've posted so many of our ‘biblical quotes’ so uhhh here’s something else  aib au where blah blah ya heard it before BUT THERES A DIFFRENCE (shocker).  Chishiya is British. Duel citizenship and all that ya know? grew up there as a kid then moved with his parents blah blah that's boring here's why I really sad this:  Imagine  Chishiya  shouting at Niragi for something and he just starts saying shit like wanker. also yes I know a lot of phrases and insults don't translate over however for the sake of my funny idea believe it does :)  Just  Chishiya shouting “RIGHT NOW, HERES THE THING YOU TWAT THIS AINT SOMETING WE CAN  GO ALL WILLY NILLY ON, WHAT ARE YOU? SOME TOSSING WANKER WHOS TO BLOODY BUSY TRYNA SHAG YA OWN REFLECTION TO SEE THE FLIPPING CRISES INFRONT OF YER? JESUS SON OF MARY WHAT IS WITH YOUR FUCK-FACES”. and scene.  

The removal of the sexism pisses me off not because it just affects Sokkas character but because it has ruined almost every woman in the show.

Suki takes off her make up often, as if it isn't a large part of her cultural identity and personality, as if her being a kyoshi warior and her destinctly femenine clothes are something to be ashamed off or that hinders her. Because its only her that gets this treat amongst the warriors, and shes the only main kyoshi warrior for the audience.

Yue's entire character is removed. It is replaced with what I think is meant to be a sympathetic princess to the people, she joins the nans in the kitchens and make deserts for the children. Like a disney princess whose quirky and silly and held back only by her title of a princess. Gone is the battle between her desire to help and her duty to be a water tribe ideal woman. Gone is her realising that the best way to help her people is to not be an ideal woman, but to take action and to do what no one else can, to become one with the moon so that she can forever help not just her tribe but the entire world. It is depressing, it is deep, it isn't fair to her but when has the world ever been fair?

Katara aswell. Her bending is forever unlocked by men (Aang and Jet), her defiance of authority is lessened and her naievety is also changed. A lot of her motherhood role is also completlty gone since they have changed Sokkas sexism into elder brother smothering. Her fight with Paku holds a lot less significance since she has no RAGE behind her. No rage that has built for YEARS as time and time again people have said no to her face for being a woman, for being weak, for not being enough simply because of who she is. that doesn't exist for her anymore because the water tribes are just...nice. We see one bad person in the water tribe and its Hadoka and he's mean to sokka! Kataras rage comes from Paku saying no to her, and whilst thats swell, it changes her entire "I'm a master now" moment into just...lame girlbossery. Thats kinda how the entire last 2 episodes felt like for her character. A common girlboss character without the emotional depth to make it femenism.

I think my main issue is that both shows set themselves up as being femenist by nature. The og show wanted to tackle issues with sexism, using book 1 as its main demonstration with it, but the theme still follows throughout the narative. netflix's show outright said they were removing the sexist elements. When you place youself onto that pedastal, any sexist writing you have becomes emphasised.

The og show undoubtably has sexist moments! Irohs comments to June are the most obvious to me, a long with a couple comments from Zuko later on. You can certainly argue that the extreme lack of GOOD mother figures is an issue (Kat and Sokkas mother is dead, Zukos is 'dead', and Toph is awful and rather quite compared to her father). Theres other examples, although currently my brain cannot think of any since I don't often write indepth critisms.

The live actions main point of sexism is its female main characters. we literally meet Yue in the kitchen! Women can be in kitchens but that is certainly a choice! Theres this strange hatred for make up aswell, yes with Suki but also with Sokka. His war paint is removed. Its like saying make up cannot be worn by strong fighters which is rather sexist. Speaking off: not putting Sokka in the kyoshi outfit is just...dumb? If you want to show him learning the style, having him wear the outfit. Its an aspect of the style and philosophy. A man wearing make up and a skirt doesn't emasculate him yet the show makes it feel that way with the refusal to do it. "Oh but then you'd have Sokka and Suki kiss in the kyoshi outfits" who cares. "it will look like lesbians" it won't. Even if it did, who cares? you can't be 'femenist' and anti-lesbian. Putting Sokka in the Kyoshi outfit, having him respect it, is just as important as having Aang learn the other elements, or Iroh creating lightning redirection. Why? because it shows a respect of culture, and how you can blend that into your own way of thinking. It's cultural extchanged based on respect.

When you name yourself femenist, yet have explicitly sexist writing, your GOING to get dogpiled with critism based on that 'femenist' msg.

I both love and hate Oedipus Rex because the end is so stupid.

The whole play is (in one interpretation!) about self-identity and the battle between knowing who we are and how we are percieved by ourselves and the world around us. You'd expect for Oedipus to end the play fully relalized and yet...

By blinding himself, which, yes it is out of guilt and is a form of self-flagellation, but it also acts as a way to continue ignoring who he is. Without eyes he cannot see his children, the genetic abominations, nor does he have to see the world he has helped corrupt. He can continue to live in bliss. In his blindness he does not become Tiresias- he is not a prophet- he is just a pathetic man as scared as us to see himself in the mirror.

Is this? Cherik?

here's some more characters as quotes I've taken from a discord server I'm in cuss i enjoyed going back through our quotes channel and only got like 2 months in :) . Mostly said by me and wildly ooc Aguni: in my defence I'm a gay dad who wants to fuck other gay dads Chishiya: her toes make me wanna choke Kuina: like...on them? Chishiya: fucking obviously not their disgusting have mould on them Kuina: some people are into that  Niragi: I am Niragi holding a doll by its neck: good kid, nice quality, looks like the perfect football substitute  Chishiya: my girl got tiddies the size of mellons and a brain the size of a pea Kuina: jiggle jiggle  Arisu: OEE. OWW. THAT. FUCKING. HURTS. YOU CUNT. I LOVE IT. BUT OWWW. YOU BITCH. I LOVEI T. BARK BARK. FUDISFH. UGHHHH Usagi: I just??? posted a selfie  Arisu: without meeeeeeeeeee Hatter pressing his his hand on someone's heck: awww, cant breath? are your little lungs struggling to pull in air? your all withering and shaking. wanna know how I can tell your suffering? leans down its cuss I'm an empath ann: I hope you fall on your face and choke so up so much blood Edward fucking Collens finds you Arisu: should I give her boobs? Karube: yes Arisu: you have no rights she’s not having boobs 

My one thing I want in life is a deep 50k word social media mutuals who sometiems talk, to accidental pannel hosters together, to friends, to sorta awkward frenemies back to friends, to lovers Aguni/Hatter fic set as them like cosplayers. Aguni does more like video game cosplays and Hatter does more action movie/ cool tv show cosplays and shit.  Oh and also like sleep. Sleep would be nice aswell   

Head cannon that Hatter just sorta refuse to drink out of normal cups so he drinks outa sippy cups. He has no reason to its just funny to be a tyrant (sorta) who drinks out of a sippy cup

the boys probs have bro nights and to those fools who arnt invited ( the girls) they probably think their like talking about girls and sport and just being stinky.  and I mean they’d be right they are being stinky and talking about girls, but their actually discussing the best way to force the girls into therapy because I'm pretty sure the only one who didn't get caught up in the sibuna shit was Mara and in the kindest way possible she isn't 100% okay and could definitely benefit from Therapy as well
