where’s the post-atla comic where some water tribesmen and fire nation nobles decide that an arranged marriage for the fire lord would help smooth out post-war relations between them, but then they realise that the princess of the northern water tribe is now a celestial body and the southern chief’s daughter is super publicly dating the avatar so breaking THAT up would just be a terrible move, both politically and also for anyone who doesn’t want to get frozen in a block of ice
TL:DR Zuko and Sokka are playing meatsword (in which you eat meat off a sword) when they’re told that they’re engaged
Sokka: I don’t want to get arranged married! I like to make my own choices!
Hakoda: come on son, I mean it’s not like you or Zuko were going to get involved with anyone else
Sokka and Zuko:
Sokka: can you even imagine, US, holding HANDS, and KISSING
Zuko:
Gonna be streaming DND. prestream right now but will start once all the players join
beating breath of the wild in under 40 minutes is an incredible feat and also fucking excellent in the context of the game. ganon spends 100 fucking years preparing this onslaught, building energy, getting ready to tear the world apart, and one elf twink wakes up butt-ass naked in a cave and legs it to the castle and kicks ganon’s ass apart in under an hour with a sword he found along the way
Just screeching obscenities as he sprints barefoot across a field of killer robots
Link?
yeah it was link
link, after waking up not knowing anything but anger:
The current record is 27.5 minutes. Knowing that speedrunners skip the Great Plateau tower, this means that they don’t get the cutscene where Ganon and his Guardians awake until they reach Hyrule Castle. Ganon doesn’t even know Link is awake until Link is at his doorstep, which is about 16:50 into the run.
Less than three minutes later, Link kills the first of Ganon’s Blights with a single arrow and swiftly takes down the next three. Within five minutes of Ganon being face to face with his arch nemesis, he is killed.
Ganon had a total of 10 minutes and 40 seconds to stop Link.

Ganon fucking wishes. Link comes flying in on a paraglider at like 80 mph just because he jumped off a bokoblin’s head. I can only imagine Link screaming “FUUUUUUUUCK YOOOOOOOOUUUUUU” all the way (about 50 seconds in the run but 30 seconds without lag)
Yes he got like that by being so hormonally addled that he tried to fight a tree. But try to tell me a forest god wouldn’t have big leafy antlers just like that if he were to take a physical form.
Extremely City white people are so fucking weird they see a pic of a deer and theyre like “its an Old God, tell me the wisdom of the trees Forest Lord … wow this is just like game of thrones” its a deer. Its a fucking stupid idiot animal it doesnt know shit
who says the old gods aren’t stupid animals who are so hormonally addled they’d try to fight a tree
My favourite kinds of horror stories are ones where both the audience as well as the characters have no idea how to react to the situation they find themselves in. Having your audience know what characters should and shouldn’t do is fun, like in thrillers, yelling about not going outside when the killer is very obviously out there, is great and brings satisfaction to the audience for sure! But for me, I like stories where you can’t do that, because NO ONE knows whats going to happen.
That’s why I love cosmic horror and folk horror so much! Its not your average ghost story where you know what to do and what not to do. You deal with things that are new and old and are so out of your own understanding that there is no right way to survive. Sure you know it’s stupid to go into the cornfield at night, but what about walking through the countryside during the day? That shouldn’t be a problem right? Wrong. No, you shouldn’t read the book bound in human flesh, everyone knows that. But what about getting a job on an old fishing boat? I mean, I would work as a fisherman, not expecting that a great Old One would rise from the depths.
Folk Horror hits you with beautiful country sides and people who seem altogether normal, usually very friendly, and there’s no way to know that they actually worship old vengeful gods until you’re standing with them during their seemingly innocent May Day celebration. And by then they’re already committing acts that neither the audience or the characters know how to react to.
Cosmic Horror hits you with the unknown, something you simply cannot run from or kill. You can’t say “don’t go out there!” because the horror is already inside, all around you, huge, vast, and forever. The characters and the audience are on the same page, having no idea what to do. I love that.
Consider a cosmic horror disguised as a slasher. One that presents itself as a standard slasher but the characters DO do the logical thing and it gets them in more danger.
It’s high key illegal to make any kind of nazi joke or gesture in Germany. People can get fired for it and in extreme cases even arrested. On my class trip to Berlin this kid thought it’d be funny to do a Nazi salute in the parking lot where hitler died (was not a destination, just happened to walk by). He was immediately pulled aside by police who legit booked him a flight home for the next day, without the rest of us. He was suspended for two weeks too.
Funny how the country responsible for this takes full responsibility and fights to make it never happen again, while the US, who spent years basing an entire identity on fighting Nazis, gives them a platform to speak freely and draft members.
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
