This Ish Needs To Be Said. Don't Get Smitten And Dazzled By The Fancy Groupism On Here. All That Glitters

This ish needs to be said. Don't get smitten and dazzled by the fancy groupism on here. All that glitters is not gold. Sometimes, you're seriously just better off without being a part of a clique. This is not coming from someone who is bitter cuz she hasn't been a part of a clique. This is coming from a person who has been a part of fancy, best, #groupgoals kinda cliques,both in fandoms and in real life and has chosen to consciously stay away from them after knowing the negative influence they can have on me. You don't need to fit in to be happy. You're loved and cherished by those who love you for who you arem Learn to love yourself first before striving to gain other people's validation and love.

i’ve been thinking about how it’s so easy to get lost on tumblr with the mindset of like “everyone in the fandom has friends and it’s only me who feels lonely” because you see all these friend groups around you and it feels very isolating sometimes. i want everyone to know that a LOT of people feel this way on tumblr (including me). i have days where i go online and i just feel very lonely like everyone doesn’t want to talk to me and i’m being ignored. basically i’m making this post because i want y'all to know that it’s not just you and i want to give all of you a big big hug

so reading asoiaf source blogs who posted numerous amount of content about how daenerys is just as mad as viserys, how viserys should be king instead of her, how viserys was the victim in selling Daenerys and him dying, how she’s a targaryen which means she’s crazy, how entitled she is, how her story doesn’t matter because she’s barren, how if you’re a fan of her that means you have internalized racism / are a racist yourself, how she ‘fucked up big time’ in essos and should stay far away from westeros, how her story is rooted in racism and how she’s a colonizer; it makes sense to me now why there are so many people on here who hate her and actually believe these things. I mean, if an asoiaf source blog reblogs / posts content like this, then surely it must be true right?

Research Shows that Zutara Would Have Been the Ideal Friends to Lovers Dynamic

(featured below: a very self-indulgent Zutara post that uses Facts and Evidence to be self-indulgent)

When I joined the ATLA fandom, a common trend I’ve seen used to discredit Zutara was the belief that upon transitioning from a platonic relationship to a romantic one, Zuko and Katara would immediately become The Worst ™ for each other. It’s quite the stretch, and the Zutara fandom nearly unanimously recognizes that. Still, since the attacks have yet to cease even 15 years after the show’s first release, I’d like to add my two-cents on the subject, along with a reference to actual research that is much harder to dismiss.

jimin, probably: yes i like to show skin, yes i’m shy about it, yes we exist

RANT - Kataang

Didn’t we see enough of Katara kicking ass and taking names in ATLA to know she’s not a push over? Like she literally stands up for everything KNOW MATTER THE CIRCUMSTANCE!

So why in hell would she be okay with Aang ignoring TWO of their children’s complete existence once he found out they had an airbending son? Why would she ever be okay with him teaching his culture to only ONE of their children and ignoring the other two because they’re not airbenders?!

She healed an entire village of strangers in a matter of days, so why would she let 2/3 of her own kids live most of their lives never feeling the love of their father?! She had to have noticed, unless with this character transformation she had to have between ATLA and LOK, she became an “An ignorance is bliss,” type person.

One of my main grievances with Kataang is that Aang doesn’t seem like the type of person to value the same things Katara does.

Katara was raised in a village where everyone is like family, even if it was torn apart by war. There’s a strong sense of community that Katara was raised with that (Aang never seems to try to understand) she would ideally want her children to have too, ya know seeing as that it’s kind of apart of her culture.

In Aang’s case he was raised to disconnect from the world, to achieve spiritual enlightenment.

And I’m not saying that they couldn’t‘ve worked regardless of the difference in their cultures and upbringings and beliefs, but the thing is, they didn’t.

Mainly the if not completely because Aang never made an attempt to establish anything resembling a real familial unit with Katara, basically just stayed around until she popped out an Airbender. (Which I really don’t like because she was treated like some trophy wife to give birth to airbenders and that’s it! Like really—we could’ve had Fire Lady Katara changing the fucking WORLD, but they gave us THAT!)

You really think after Katara had a parent murdered by the fire nation and the other went off to fight in the war against the fire nation (both at a young age) that she would want anything less than a full family unit for her kids?

You think she would be okay with Aang taking away one of her babies to train in the ways of his culture and not want their other children to be there too?

You think “sit up straight and talk clearly,” mama bear Katara would want anything but that?!

If you do you clearly didn’t watch the same show I did.

Zuko: you rise with the moon, i rise with the sun

The ATLA writers: wow great line, but let’s go with the airbender
