I Think The Theme For The Next Calendar Might Be Dancing Poses

I think the theme for the next calendar might be dancing poses

broke: midsommar is a girl power movie

woke: midsommar is a horrifying movie about a manipulative cult

bespoke: midsommar is a litmus test to tell how easily you could be indoctrinated into a cult and if your first thought after watching it is that it was a girl power movie you’re very susceptible to cult tactics and you should be aware of that

I see so often the idea that Azula's breakdown should be the catalyst for her redemption like Zuko's banishment and Iroh losing Lu Ten was for them.

And I don't necessarily disagree that it COULD be, but it doesn't always work like that. Suffering, by itself, does not make you a better person. And sometimes it makes you worse.

But also like, if you think about those moments for Zuko and Iroh, Azula mocked both of them for breaking when it happened to them. Of course she's going to be resistant to the idea that she's the one who needs to change.

many problems are caused by the mindset that the world is divided into good people and bad people and the bad people can be "found out" and removed, eventually leading to a utopia containing only good people.
