One of the storyboard artists put a photo of Sokka in Toph’s cave at the storyboard stage. They found it hilarious, but decided it didn’t work because she was blind. They said it could have worked as a joke, though, with the photo being something Sokka gave her unthinkingly and being hung upside down.
Imagine Korra’s reaction though. “Is that… Councilman Sokka naked??” “Oh so that’s what’s on the picture no one told me”
The most baffling part of the Avatar fandom is that Korra can literally
Be forcibly restrained and poisoned:
Suffocate:
Break her legs:
Possibly die for a minute (or, at the very least, become comatose):
Use a wheelchair:
Be sent away for healing:
Have a complete mental/emotional breakdown:
Go through physical therapy:
And become repeatedly triggered via PTSD:
And still fans are like:
What the fuck is wrong with people.
I mean, people also claimed Toph wasn’t disabled, so I’m not surprised. (Very annoyed, but not surprised.) We have very specific mold for stories involving disability, and especially disabled main characters, and stories that don’t fit that mold tend to go right over people’s heads.
I feel like this is pretty important to realize: the cops are becoming exhausted, and there’s a limited supply of them. NYPD has every cop on duty working full days every day. We have an unlimited capacity to rotate in fresh fighters that they simply do not have. We can take shifts. They can’t.
This is also why we’re starting to see bare minimum concessions now. The powers that be have realized they’ve made a grave miscalculation. A week into it, and ideas that seemed utterly impossible even a month ago are on the table- LA is talking about a hundred and fifty million dollar budget cut for the LAPD, every cop directly involved in George Floyd’s murder has been arrested and Chauvin’s charge has been raised to second degree murder, parts of the Minneapolis city council is pushing to permanently disband the Minneapolis police department.
What could we win with two weeks? Three? An organized general strike that brings the entire economy to a crashing halt? It is difficult to feel hopeful in such brutal times, but there is profound hope to be had in the realization that a week of getting our asses kicked has advanced the mainstream narrative around police so much further than electoralism would’ve dared to dream in 100 years.
its like a siege from within! we need to keep going until theyre completely out of energy, supplies and have no other choice but to make change
reminder to be wary of any news coverage you hear or read that doesn’t come from a direct source because there is always some type of spin on EVERYTHING.
June definitely!! Also maybe multiple flags for each character? Like not just one that matches w/the character, sometimes I just like my fave & my flag in the same image, and I bet others would too!
i TRIED making this a gif but god wont let me live so take these! theyll be up on redbubble shortly, im just getting shit sorted with the payment situation
