Everyone Is Fearful But Respectful Of That Quiet Badass Chosen One With Unheard Of Talent, Eventually

Sokka: Who do you think would win between Zuko and Katara?

Azula: Comparing Zuko and Katara is like comparing apples and oranges.

Zuko: We’re both unique in our own ways?

Azula: Apples are superior in every way and all oranges should be eliminated.

Zuko: Which one of us is the orange?

Azula: Don’t do that to yourself.

Au where everyone in the membrane family firmly believes in the paranormal, but no one agrees on which specific cryptids are real.

And then Zim shows up, but no one agrees on just what Zim is or what to do.

Dib thinks that Zim is a alien invader that needs to be stopped at all costs because “weird alien technology and green skin”

Professor Membrane thinks Zim is some sort of robot, cyborg or government weapon because he’s SEEN the amount of advanced weapons in his backpack, plus he once saw Zim lift a car with little effort. The green skin is some government made material.

Gaz takes one look at Zim and assumes “vampire”, with extremely sharp teeth, hatred of sunlight and superhuman strength and agility. Zim’s “advanced technology” is just magic that looks like technology (like a spelldrive) and the green skin is a genuine skin condition that vampires can have.

All of them want Zim taken down, but none of them are willing to work together because of all of them disagreeing on what Zim actually is and just HOW he should be taken down.

But the thing is,

we as the viewer never see Zim.

We see parts of him, like his PAK and the weapons inside, or hints of his green skin or his true eyes glowing in the dark, with the rest of him hidden from view. He hear him a couple times as well. But we never see enough for us to come to the conclusion of what Zim is by ourselves.

The Membranes don’t completely prove anything either, as Zim always escapes before any of them can figure out what he is and what he wants.

We are also never shown Zim’s perspective or what his true motives are. We are only shown the perspectives of each Membrane, who all have different opinions on what they’re going up against with their own proof for their own case. So Zim’s actions and behaviours throughout the show just confuse us more as we, the viewers are left questioning which of the Membranes are right, or if they’re all wrong and Zim is something completely different.

The things learned about Zim can point in any direction as well. Water hurts him, but only like 50% of the time. Is it because he’s an alien with some inconsistent way of protecting himself against water, a robot that’s waterproofed in some areas but not others, a vampire that’s only hurt by holy water or is it because of some completely different reason? No one will ever know.

AU where Sokka’s high-on-cactus-juice encounter with the giant mushroom takes a dark turn. (Also he has a gun)

based on this beautiful tumblr post

bonus:

Azula: And that was how I successfully staged a coup and took control of Ba Sing Se. Do you have any questions?

Baby Izumi: *incoherent baby babbling*

Azula: Fascinating stategy. I hadn’t even considered that. I could have taken the city and killed the Avatar in half the time!

Baby Izumi: *more incoherent baby babbling*

Azula: You have a ruthless mind. Tell me, if you were tasked with conquering the North Pole, how would you go about doing so?

Zuko: *peeking from the doorway, unsure if he should stop this or not. slightly afraid*

So I’ve seen a few people go over the AU idea of Vaggie being found by Carmilla after she falls, and I thought what if she was rescued by Rosie instead?

Like after the Extermination the little boy she spares tells Rosie and the other cannibals about this Angel that let him run away, and insists on dragging them back there because he heard her screaming from his new hiding spot.

They find Vaggie passed out and back and face soaked in ichor, but instead of eating her Rosie brings her back to Cannibal Town and patches her up as a way of saying thank you for saving that little boy (though the towels and rags used to clean her wounds and her old clothes get heavily fought over because everyone wants to know what ichor tastes like).

Vaggie of course is very disoriented upon waking up and is incredibly uncomfortable with the whole cannibalism thing, but she also really doesn’t want to piss off the people who could rip her apart.

guys i found azula on tiktok

Out of Touch

i feel like a lot of the younger group of people on the internet especially those who became online in the age of tiktok is that no one is obligated to interact with you. the best advice i could give to teens on the internet is block everything you dont want to see, unfollow over anything you like. you do not have to interact with people you do not want to.

but please remember that this goes both ways, content creators can block you over anything too. it doesnt go that deep, if someone blocks you its probably not personal. if someone tags one of my posts as a fandom i dont want to interact with i will block them and thats fine, i dont hate everyone i block and you dont have to either. creating your online experience is the key to having a good time online

you are never obligated to interact with anything
