remember that time Mewtwo was startled by his own reflection thinking there was another one of him?

there might have been a few moments like that for a few days since Newtwo appeared

Avatar OC concept: a pedantic earthbender with a degree in geology who can bend ice on a technicality

the implication that bending is completely reliant on whether you think you should be able to instead of like…innate laws of the universe pleases me greatly

me bending someone’s bones: buddy they’re practically just limestone I mean it’s on you for walking around full of rocks

I mean that’s pretty much how Toph did her thing:

“There’s bits of metal in rocks. Probably bits of rocks in metal. I can bend the rock in the metal, and that’s PRETTY MUCH metalbending so yeah imma just invent a whole new discipline of bending.”

Actually, things that you could probably rules-lawyer your way into doing:

  • Earth: ice is a crystal; bones are pretty much rocks so at worst I can debone you like a fish; dust
  • Fire: drawing heat away makes things colder; it’s not airbending if I’m just making warm and cold places in the air; did you know you have lightning in your nerves; it’s not metalbending if I’m just wrapping lightning around this metal rod
  • Water: no need for a puddle when there’s any kind of humidity; it’s not earthbending if the rock is damp; bloodbending is illegal but throwing someone’s bladder around inside them isn’t
  • Air: it’s not X-bending if I’m just lifting it with air; sounds and voices are just funky air

and of course

  • non-bender: gun

Waterbenders: I cast piss your pants

I mean… Topher and Katara did both mud bend on multiple occasions. And Katara cloud bended with aang. Aang dis use Airbender to lift a rock to make people think Katara was an earthbender.

The swampbenders are right. The separation of nations and elements is just an illusion.

my brother has been criticizing me all day and he told me if i wasn’t happy i could go somewhere else so i wouldn’t ruin everyone else’s dinner so i took the massive bowl of pasta + special sauce i spent the last 2 hours making from scratch for the whole family and i left

it really is incredibly bold to mercilessly criticize the person who is not only making your dinner but also holding a knife

I sequestered myself in the other side of the house and ate my family-sized pasta from a mixing bowl using a serving spoon in the dark because the sun went down in the 2+ hours I spent stewing and I was too stubborn to turn on a light

the only person I shared my pasta with was my dad who on a conference call at the time and didn’t just stand there and watch my brother be an asshole like the rest of my family and since he came to me in my sanctuary with his bowl and asked nicely if he could have some pasta i did share with him

sometimes you’re an adult who has been quarantined with your parents, younger siblings, grandfather, and dog for the last 2 months because of a global pandemic and some nights you just have to take your pasta and Leave because you are an adult who knows when to tap the fuck out

OP thank you not only for the amazing image of you eating pasta in the dark and your father kindly pleading for your mercy but also a wonderful example of when to set firm boundaries and prioritize yourself bless u

No, I dont know what those are.

Imagine shredded cheese but with a potato where the cheese should be and that’s it

……… A shredded potato? Like french fries?

Yeah! You can eat it for breakfast

Like this

Ah… that looks really good…

also it can also refer to potatoes diced up real small and formed into patties sometimes called hashbrown patties but usually just hash browns

image

Ah. They look like fat fish sticks.

a tater tot is essentially a hash brown but tiny

Spoiler: they made a pact never to argue and took self-imposed time-outs when they lapsed. One broke his leg and they cared for him so well it healed perfectly. They planted a vegetable garden and kept their spirits up singing along to a guitar they fashioned from driftwood and a coconut shell.

(Article is weirdly focused on the white guy who rescued them, though.)

The thing is that Golding wouldn’t be surprised, because he didn’t intend Lord of the Flies to reflect upon human nature. He wrote it to reflect upon the nature of upper-class English schoolboys, specifically in response to a very saccharine story by another author where upper-class English schoolboys form a eutopia. He’d be mortified at the way schools teach it, and validated that the kids in this article did not, in fact, degenerate into evil little shits.

Seen a lot of hot takes on Twitter saying that the book is racist and that it’s a comment on colonialism or something, when like the above commenter says it was based on Golding’s own experience with how shitty public school-taught British schoolboys were/are.

If Lord of the Flies was summed up in a headline it would be “Commentary on Assholes mistaken for Commentary on Humanity”

I think that’s the fate of every such commentary, because it’s the nature of assholes to look at a commentary on the nature of assholes and go “Behold! The nature of man!”

passing off their asshole mannerisms as human nature absolves them of responsibility and we all know how much assholes dislike responsibility for their actions
