ATLA fandom: Aang tried to force his ideals on Katara and stop her from confronting her mother’s killer.
ATLA episode transcript:
Katara: Don’t try to stop us. Aang: I wasn’t planning to. This is a journey you need to take. You need to face this man. But when you do, please don’t choose revenge. Let your anger out, and then let it go. Forgive him.
What’s funny is that Katara said herself she will never forgive him and that’s okay. Aang was fine with that and he accepted that. The whole thing was that Katara was not gonna let anger get the best of her. She didn’t need someones life on her conscience at such a young age too. Bryke pretty much explains this but fandom likes to be that dramatic.
I would argue that Aang did get it. He found out his entire culture and everyone he knew and loved - except Appa - had been murdered by the Fire Nation. Including Monk Gyatso - the closest thing to a father he would ever have. Aang understood.
Life is short. Drink another coffee. Read another book. Listen to your favourite song again. Hug your mom. Laugh. Cry. Dance in the rain. Push your friend off a cliff because of a milkshake.
I love Good Omens. I think Neil Gaiman and the producers did a great job with it. And I love all the jokes and poking fun at topics that are usually taken seriously.
But as someone who studies religion, particularly Christianity in academic settings, I am so tired of hot takes by fans who have a limited understanding of the Bible.
Like, theorize to your hearts content but please stop trying to repackage Milton and Augustine’s writings as Biblical canon. I know its not done on purpose but it’s such a pet peeve of mine
I want an ice maker and enough room in the freezer for a pizza and that is IT.
I want the dumbest fridge you got. Gimme the orange tabby of refrigeration. I want my fridge to pull the wrong lever and turn my enemies into llamas instead of killing them. I want the following features: keeps things cold, has compartment that keeps things colder, a door that opens and shuts.
“Here at Stupid Jeff’s Dumb Appliance Warehouse we sell the dumbest fucking appliances. Check out this fridge. This fridge won’t ask you about your day, this dumb fucking fridge doesn’t know what an Elon Musk is and won’t fucking tell you what bullshit that dumb monkey is slapping into his phone today when you try to get some fucking milk. We took out all those "smart” electronics and in their place we put a loaded Glock 9mm that is put right up to that light that turns on when you open the door, which is the smartest thing in this fucking stupid fridge and let me tell you that fucker is on thin goddamn ice, if it gets too smart and tries to turn on before you open that door, the Glock will blow it to hell. Speaking of ice, this stupid fridge makes it. It makes ice, it keeps things cold, it comes with shelves. It’s sturdy enough that when your ex comes back to your place looking for their stuff that they think they left behind like nine months ago and they know that you don’t have it, but they wanted an excuse to come start a fight with you and throw a chair at your head but miss you and hit your fridge MICHAEL, this fridge will keep trucking because it gives zero shits and it only lives to keep things cold. Come to Stupid Jeff’s Dumb Appliance Warehouse, if you ask us if we have an app, we break your kneecaps.“
