Y'all ever just suddenly have the overwhelming urge to swim??? Like not actively but you just wanna,,, be in the water and have some Peace
Yes it’s called the mammalian diving response and it’s also why doing face masks and taking a shower is soothing. Our amphibian ancestors used this mechanism to slow down the heartbeat and lower body temperature so as not to waste calories while swimming (which is very calorie intensive). It makes you feel safe because predators are less likely to get you in water than on land. The fish brain is alive and well in all of us.
It’s literally activated by putting water on the face.
everyone always talks about zuko’s (admittedly perfect) character arc but no one ever talks about the slow-burn, three-season-long devolution of Azula from the “perfect child,” “dad’s favorite,” “badass in charge” who is given way too much to handle and is mature past her years to an insecure, neglected, hurting, unhinged child who desperately, in her last few minutes of clarity, just wants her mom
