Concept: Fire Lords traditionally dress like the stages of the sun to match their reign.
When Zuko is first crowned, he dresses in the colours of dawn. Bright yellows and pinks and even purples. He starts to wear more traditional crimson-and-gold robes after a few years, the colours of midday when Agni is at his strongest. And towards the end of his reign, when he's getting ready to pass the crown onto Izumi, he starts dressing like the setting sun.
#okay but people noticing zukos slow transition from reds and gold to oranges and purples#and at first speculate hes dying. but then realize the shift is too gradual and purposeful to be that. izumi is also shifting her wardrobe#shes wearing clothes that are dark and deep#that as zukos shift further into deeper oranges and yellows and purples hers shifts into light yellows and pinks.#and its already been announced that he'll abdicate. but everyone suspected before then. the day he does his clothes are only orange or red#at the hems. special for the abdication. and the rest a light to dark purple gradient. a visual signifier of his time as firelord ending#and i think that its a happy day. zuko has made sure his daughter and nation are ready.that it is time a different generation took the lead#so izumi is one of if not the only fire lord to be crowned by her parent. its important for the nation and its important for *them*#also teen zuko being the first firelord in over a hundred years to follow an anciet tradition whilst making sweeping reforms?#showing that the fire nation need not lose its culture to fix its wrongs and look to the future#yeah i like this a lot actually#atla (from @findafight)
Yes you get it!!!!!
People can visibly see the sun dawning on Izumi's reign just by looking at the gold thread disappearing from Zuko's robes and appearing on his daughter's
Edward realistically had to throw up on his wedding day. what else can he do? he's up there on that bridal party table, center of attention, eating his first meal as a married man with his wife, plates are like $100000 per head so it's too suspicious to not eat, PLUS you know those wedding guests are doing some clinkety clink clink action on their glasses to get Edward & Bella to kiss like every 5 mins. never a moment's peace! it's all a constant ruse! & when all was said & done my man was probably up there in an airplane lavatory 30,000 feet in the air on his way to Rio just blowing chunks of chicken cordon bleu & wedding cake thinking it was still the best day of his life. fucking lol
Every time I see some gamerbro edit of a female video game character to make her 'prettier', I always see something I have mentally dubbed Cockroach Wife Syndrome (in honor of the guy who accidentally conditioned himself to only be aroused by a fantasy of his cockroach wife Ogtha).
That is to say, there is a certain subset of gamerbro who interacts so rarely with real women, that his primary touchstone for how women look is fiction: often video games and anime. So when a video game woman looks too realistic--too close to having traits that one might find in real flesh and blood women--this is foreign to them. This is unattractive. They have been jacking it to hentai and blender animation porn for too many years, and have inadvertently conditioned themselves to only be sexually aroused by the exaggerated cartoonish traits of animated women.
So now every time I see one such edit, I can't help but think. My. What a coincidence you've made her look more like an anime waifu. Truly dedicated to your cockroach wife.
You can’t just breeze over something like “the guy who accidentally conditioned himself to only be aroused by a fantasy of his cockroach wife Ogtha” without at least linking a 20 minute video breakdown of this man’s descent into madness.
i appreciate the content warnings and understand their importance but i can’t help but giggle a little bit when i click on a fnaf fic and half the chapters have child death warnings in their notes. sir this is the Child Death Game i think i know what i’m signing up for
*entering the child death and murder fandom* why the fuck is this place so full of child murder
ohmygodtheymeantgameofthrones
the kicker is he was being asked if his work was coming from the approach of man vs. nature aka “THE ENVIRONMENT STRIKES BACK” but no. his literal words were along the lines of “sharks are not very scary if you are never in the water so i had to make them scarier, and now they have legs.”
Junji Ito has the best fucking take on horror, which is ‘wouldn’t that be weird’ and then he draws it into the most terrifying thing possible.
One of his strangest stories is about a cursed type of honey that, when ingested, is guaranteed to be the best thing you’ve ever tasted. But, if you consume it, you have a 25% of being flattened like a pancake by a giant tree demon. Characters eat it, get addicted, and that addiction forces them to risk it over and over again until they eventually get turned into a gory puddle by this ghost tree thing.
It’s a weird story, but the funny part is that Ito wrote it because he thought it would suck to be a mosquito.
