Zuko: For so long, all I wanted was for you to love me. To accept me. I thought it was my honor that I wanted, but really, I was just trying to please you. You, my father, who banished me just for talking out of turn! My father, who challenged me—a 13-year-old boy!—to an Agni Kai. How can you possibly justify a duel with a child?!
Ozai: It was to teach you respect!
Zuko: It was cruel! — and it was wrong.

snappily replied to your post: Yesss. So many Zuko feelings. I think it’s also interesting that, while this is a narrative with a savior figure, they didn’t have that savior inspire ~Zuko into being good. It was far more complex than that; just having a GOOD example wasn’t enough. I mean, I enjoy those kinds of narratives (superman fan, so, duh) but the way Zuko’s story unfolds, he’s more of an...

Zuko is just endlessly interesting to me, because most people probably would call him morally gray as he is one of the more pragmatic, cynical characters within Avatar: The Last Airbender; — but everyone must remember he did grow up as royalty in a nation that launched a one-hundred-year war against its neighbors, and throughout flashbacks we were shown many moments where his moral code directly...

Trigger Warning: Emotional Abuse
dupery replied to your photo: i have never seen this. but from what you are saying about zuko I feel like he is a much more developed/complex version of draco malfoy.
Sort of, kind of, if we do surface analysis. Like, I never gave much thought on Harry’s generation after Prisoner of Azkaban, besides the standard “I wish JKR had given them vastly better...

squintyoureyes asked: yeah, i'm not saying Elementary is definitely going to do right by Watson as that's far from guaranteed but I agree w/you - somehow I don't think this version is going to quite have Freeman's sometimes-competent-but-constantly-shown-up role WRT sherlock, or they wouldn't have cast Lucy. also people are forgetting that acc to the premise sherlock starts off in a bad place...

morethanlost replied to your post: did you see someone said they’re ashamed to be an American because of this? omg
It might not have been the same person, but I have been seeing the same sentiment everywhere, and it is baffling and insulting on so many levels. Like, — you cannot say the American production is erasing queer representation when most, if not all¹, when your leading example of Doing...

But, seriously? What about the gay?
Why couldn’t we have gotten a woman Sherlock, too?

It really pisses me off when I see Beyonce¹ and Rihanna² grouped as R&B, though. Black people are as capable of being pop artists, folks. I know this is hard to be believe, but there’s nothing absurd with that.
¹K. This might be a little bit more tricky since 4 has a lot more R&B influences than her past releases, but I would still classify Beyonce has primarily pop. ²There was...

Anonymous asked: Wow, so, it's not just about you not liking the books or a character, you're just deeply unpleasant. All right then. Enjoy being a cunt.

bilius:
I love AUs a lot, but sometimes I think I still favor regular fics a little bit more, because I tend to convert a lot of it into my personal canon.
I have a lot of feelings regarding AUs. Like. I have a preference for canon-divergent alternate universes that twist one what is often perceived as “minor”, or even major, to be honest!, detail and explore how that change...

Trigger Warning: Domestic Abuse, Victim Blaming
The Daily What can always kiss my ass.
Like I already said on Twitter, instead of condemning Rihanna for forgiving Chris Brown, we need to light a fire under our society that stresses that she does, and don’t give me that “But, Jay Z has never!” because last time I checked, she was getting shit from her fans, probably getting shit...
