Screenshot of an AO3 fanfiction summary. Title: Abyssal Author: Nyxelestia Summary: Blockquote: Whatever it was scaring Prince Zuko, apparently Sokka understood it, too. Shyu could hear the boy’s nervous gulp from across the brig. If it could scare the Avatar’s companion and the crown prince, Shyu knew it must be terrifying. “I have some questions about the Avatar,” Zhao drawled as he stood before Sokka’s cell. “And you will answer them if you know what’s good for you.” Despite the mounting fear in his eyes, Sokka lifted his chin in desperate defiance as he crossed his arms and stood upright. “And when I don’t answer them?” Zhao smiled. End blockquote. Sokka tried to rescue Sage Shyu from the collapse of Roku's temple. Instead he, Shyu, and Zuko were all captured by Commander Zhao. And Zhao never wastes an opportunity.

Most #Zukka #whump tends to focus on Zuko, so I thought I'd change it up a bit and focus on Sokka instead. Set in Season 1, the boys get captured by Commander Zhao alongside Shyu, the fire sage who had helped Aang in Roku's temple. Heed the warnings.

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

The impulse was already there and had been for a while, white nationalism isn’t new. GG caused the creation/expansion of online infrastructure for networking, community building (mainly among young online people) and spreading/testing of tactics and propaganda. But it didn’t invent the fasc wheel.

I don’t think, until Gamergate, the edgelord dipshit incel types had a real theory of power. But conservatives they built on that and created that approach to power and then kinda merged it with Pat Buchanan nationalism and now here we are.

You cannot understand politics in the United States in 2025 without understanding Gamergate.

It is the Rosetta Stone for our current nightmare.

now announcing: jayvik no events week!

Shrek Five Minutes meme. (Meme template: two panels. The top panel is Shrek looking exasperated while the caption quotes him asking to stop a certain activity. The bottom panel zooms in on a now-angry-looking Shrek yelling specifically at a bewildered and slightly cowed Donkey with a caption typically reading or referencing the original quote of "for five minutes".) This specific meme shows the first panel with the caption, "Can the JayVik fandom stop making hyper-specific events;" and the second panel with, "for ONE week?!".

i love #jayvik but holy shit the fandom needs to slow tf down and all the mods need to communicate with each other more

The fact that the thing we're calling artificial intelligence *can't do math* and yet we're jamming it into programs that successfully *have done math* for decades, then warning people against using the AI to do math, seems like an excellent summary of where we are.

oh my god

apples!!

I have this really funny hang up where if I repost something wholesome I always try to make a buffer post before I repost something raunchy and pornographic. I SHALL be horny on main but ALSO I am covering Ponyo’s eyes so she cannot see Wenzhou fuck. 😤 I have MANNERS. (Also Lisa would be so mad.)

A lot of Zukka and Merlin fans are still living on Tumblr 😂

Closeups! #AvatarTheLastAirbender #Zukka

Digital fanart of Avatar the last airbender: Sokka and Zuko in the clothes they've worn in the series' finale. They are tangled in a powerful embrace with Zuko's head on Sokka's shoulder and Sokka's hand in Zuko's hair.

Zukka reunion after the show's final fights QuQ

Might be a joke about Mormonism? 🤷‍♀️

Photo of armed customs and border patrol agents and cars on the plaza in front of the Japanese American National Museum in Little Tokyo.

We are outraged and deeply distressed that armed federal agents came onto our campus—making arrests on the very ground where, in 1942, Japanese American families were forced to board buses bound for concentration camps. It was a deliberate act of provocation and intimidation.

also made some mel medarda portrait

Print it all out and get yourself a bookwheel. The impeccable vibes will intimidate the 5G until it scampers away in shame.

Honestly, with hindsight, Radcliffe, Watson and Grint's public statements where they sided with trans people, expressed their support with no caveats, and willingly blew up any chances at future ties to the franchise has only gotten more and more noteworthy as more actors are revealed to be cowards

some people are way too comfy drawing jayce 3x as big as viktor when the only reasons stem from racism / ableism / etc.

they should've made him more miserable #arcane #jaycetalis
