Sidewalk Chalk Is An Underrated Medium

Roku and Zuko parallel

Ever since I first saw the episode I've noticed this:

Roku doesn't even TRY to use reason, argument and emotion to get Sozin to abandon his idea of world conquest, he just bluntly says no and refuses all talk on the subject. Then later almost kills Sozin and cuts all contact with him then wonders and regrets that he hasn't changed.

Similarly Zuko throws Azula into a horrific asylum to rot and suffer alone for almost two years with no one except her hallucinations to try to convince her to change paths. Then once she's out he throws half hearted second chances at her and is surprised, sad and furious that her mind is too broken and her distrust too great to take them.

I do not have much hope for a good ending for Azula but I hope the realization of why he failed will hit Zuko eventually.

FERNANDA TORRES BEST ACTRESS NOMINEE AT THE GOLDEN GOOBES

Fun history facts: One of the 31 people arrested at Stonewall on June 28th 1969 was American folk singer Dave Van Ronk, who was not at the Stonewall Inn at the time and was cis & straight as far as I'm aware. He'd been eating dinner at a nearby restaurant when he noticed a riot happening, said "Well I suppose I should go see what the fuss is about," stepped outside, and immediately started throwing bricks at the cops.

Let's a go!!! Please

Alright now can we all agree to get them to recast Mario the same way we got them to redesign Sonic

１３か所の思い出の地を巡りゼルダ姫の想いを受け取った。 (I have visited and taken in all 13 places where Zelda’s memories were.) 思い出の中のゼルダ姫はいつも一所懸命だった。。。 (Within all those memories, Zelda was always working forwards with all her might.) 一刻も早くゼルダ姫を救い出して彼女の笑顔をもう一度この目で見たい。 (I need to save Zelda as quickly as I can, for I wish to see her smiling once more.)

After recovering Master Sword: I finally recovered the legendary Sword of Evil’s Bane, The Master Sword. It might be just my imagination, but I feel the Sword is also happy about this. Zelda still keeps her hope up that one day I will rescue her by continuing her struggle against the Calamity in Hyrule Castle But…do I have enough strength to save her as now?

Finally I have overcome the difficult Trial of the Sword. I have gained the strength, both physically and mentally to wield the Master Sword to the fullest. I believe that Zelda will also be happy and gives blessing to my growth.

OMG THIS IS CANON! THE JAPANESE JOURNAL IS WRITTEN IN FIRST PERSON. SO IT’S LINK WHO WRITES THE MEMORIES! LINK CARES SO MUCH FOR HER! ❤❤❤❤

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine "Past Tense, Pt. 1"

I'm here to spread propaganda.

Wind has knives. Sooo many knives. He is that one meme where someone goes "remove your weapons" and he spends twenty minutes pulling knives out of increasingly odd places.

At one point something grabbed his hair and they got stabbed. Wind didn't even move, his hair stabbed them.

He wasn't a chosen hero he was a random island kid who just wanted to save his sister. He learned how to fight mainly from pirates. He collected any weapons he could and used whatever he could find to survive.

Kid is hard-core as fuck and has so many weapons on him. He is d a n g e r o u s I love him.

(Also Mask for sure stole at least one of his knives and Time still has it)

So how do I find or get mutuals??? Been wanting for a while. Do I scream what I like in here and hope for the best??

Cause I don't like the idea of messaging someone random who likes what I like, feels like I'm breaking into your house and say "I heard you like this show can I info dump you about it and hope we are friends?!?"

I am. So fucking tired of Batman being portrayed as a bad parent and a toxic person. And it’s so goddamn widespread. Fuck, it might be as bad as the whole “Superman being a kindhearted Boy Scout is boring” take.

I get it, the man’s not exactly stable, he watched his parents get murdered in front of him and spent years of his life training to fight crime dressed like a giant scary bat, of course he’s not perfect.

But to say that Bruce Wayne isn’t caring, isn’t empathetic, to call him abusive…it just misses the point of who the character is to me.

Why do you think he fights crime? Yes, part of it is because he’s bitter and sad because his parents were cruelly ripped from him as a child, and he’s lashing out against the corruption of his city. It’s arguably the focus of his earlier years. But he learns to become more than that. He learns to bring hope, a chance to be better.

Harleen Quinzel is the Joker’s right hand lady, but she’s also a victim of an abusive relationship and a woman with a surprisingly strong moral compass and a love for animals, and wants to get better.

Harvey Dent is a man who will decide someone’s fate on a coin toss(and a pretty inaccurate depiction of DID), but he’s also Bruce’s close friend who clearly needs help learning to live with his condition, rather than try to get rid of it, and someone who he still goes out of his way to visit, even after everything.

Victor Fries is a cold, emotionless man who will callously discard allies and blame them for being careless, but he’s also a man who’s either lashing out because he had the love of his life taken from him, or just desperate to make sure she isn’t taken from him, and is willing to do anything just to guarantee her survival.

Even the Joker, arguably one of the most morally bankrupt characters in all of fiction, is someone that Batman has offered a chance to. After the guy shoots the daughter of his friend, a girl he cared for like she was his own kid, and paralyzes her from the waist down, he tells the Joker that he doesn’t want to hurt him. He wants to get him help. He looks at this monster who has taken countless lives and says “You don’t have to be alone.”

For fuck’s sake, he sat with Joe Chill in his last moments so that he wouldn’t be alone. Joe Chill, the man who murdered his parents, who took so much from him, the person responsible for all of the misery and suffering he’s gone through. And he sits with the man to comfort him while dies.

And you’re gonna tell me the man who did that would abuse his kids?

That he’d hold up the young man whose death was his greatest failure, the boy he grieved, and say this?

That he’d look his goddamn son in the eyes and say this to him?

Why the FUCK do you think he took in Dick Grayson in the first place? It wasn’t because he saw the kid and thought “Ah. A potential soldier.”, it was because he saw a boy experiencing the same heartbreaking loss he had so many years ago, and wanted to make sure he didn’t end up as bitter and miserable as he was.

Why do you think he smiled when Tim Drake presented him a broken watch for Father’s Day? Because he was just happy to see the boy alive and safe.

DAMIAN LITERALLY POINTED AT A COW AND SAID “I’m keeping her. She’s Bat-Cow.” AND BRUCE JUST WENT WITH IT. DIDN’T EVEN NEED TO ARGUE WHY BRUCE SHOULD LET HIM KEEP HER. HE SAID “this cow is my pet now” AND BRUCE SAID “alright, bet”.

The thing about Batman is that he wants to make sure nobody else ends up feeling the way he does. That’s not just about stopping a mugger so a boy’s parents aren’t gunned down. It’s about giving his loved ones the support and care that he couldn’t have, because it was taken from him. It’s about comforting someone who just went through a traumatic experience and letting them know that they’re going to be okay. It’s about going to someone locked away in a cell who thinks that they’re a lost cause and a burden to society and telling them that he wants to help them get better. It’s about EMPATHY.

That’s what makes him a HERO. He’s meant to inspire us, to show us that we can have that same empathy for others around us, that we can turn our suffering into hope for a better future.

I just wish more people at DC would start recognizing that. But I might as well follow that example myself. Maybe through this struggle of having to see this hero mistreat the people around him and act like a grade-A jackass, people will start to recognize that missing empathy, and slowly but surely, it might come back. After all, what is this post, if not trying to bring attention to the matter in the hopes of fixing it?
