Some of the worst comments I’ve ever gotten on TikTok have been from a less than one minute reaction to the Rhaena storyline on HOTD. Just the absolute worst people

It is so exhausting and always disheartening that my credentials as someone with a masters degree in English that speaks with some kind of authority is not real because someone disagrees with me about a fantasy show
Everything about Rhaena’s storyline is bad and we need more of the big white geek creators talking about it because they certainly aren’t listening to the Black femmes who have been
The reason it sometimes takes me so long to do a video and I switch ideas is because I do it all myself. Write it. Edit it. Research it. I do get help from HUMAN people on the journey but I enjoy the process overall and it’s also why we should remember to be mindful about how we reward “slop”
Odyssey video halfway done clean edit finished. Now the b roll
Avatar loves to show that there is a “right way” to be traumatized by genocide and a “wrong way”
I feel like often some white avatar fans forget that when they are talking to BIPOC fans they are most often talking to people who are impacted by some combination of colonial, imperialism and genocide in many different ways. We actually get these concept a lot deeper than just “theme”
Three f/m ships in the Ao3 top 10... the recession is here.
Watching this movie is so hard because i hate republic city sooooo much, everytime they are like "you made this possible," I'm like...on land that was stolen and colonized #thelegendofaang
A lot of Korra hate is misogyny and the show is also not consistently good

This movie is beautiful but a lot of this plot is stuff that is dealt with directly in LOK also I’m never going to gaf about Republic City
Nothing makes me feel more like a Karen than when someone’s clothes have been in a dryer for over AN HOUR after the cycle has ended! I DONT WANT TO TOUCH YOUR CLOTHES COME GET THEM!!!!
If ChatGPT was really used for this avatar movie, I am going to even more pissed than I was before. What do you mean we have been enduring a new rotation of discourse for this!
Watching Urusei Yatsura for an anime court episode about Rumiko Takahashi, and boy, does she love a horny MMC
I think there is a difference between “hetslop” and people just playing in fandom sandboxes. Also all shipping has an element of self insert in it, not just the straight ones.
I probably won’t be able to get into it properly until next month but with IWTV, HOTD THE ODYSSEY and so many other book to film adaptations that are these big events we are asking a lot more questions about the relationship between the original and new material. Not new questions but certainly more
