aabria iyengar tells stories like it's a fucking combat sport
A visual ode to the absolute masterpiece that was Brennan Lee Mulligan and Luis Carazo's opening segment to ExU: Calamity. What a perfectly composed and truly phantasmagoric dream sequence. And what a beautiful and foretelling close! Zerxus Ilerez standing in the palm of the Devil's hand, holding onto him as they fall...

Listen, I understand the purpose of ads. Your website/game/whatever costs money to operate. I'm using it for free so I have to look at a few ads. Fine. Your restaurant has a new item, and you want to get the word out. Fine. Whatever.
But do we have to play these games? Do you really need to do the tiny X button and the "skip ad in 5 seconds" and the pop-ups and the fucking Temu ads that last like a minute and automatically bring you to their site even when you don't touch the screen and the mobile game ads that try to trick you into thinking they're finished and do we really need the commercials to be twice as loud as the show and do we really need billboards that are TV screens and does every corporation need to play mind games with us, like I'm going to buy their phone because they believe in the importance of family?
It's not the ads that I hate, it's the ad culture. If it was just a banner ad or two. If it was just a 15 second ad that introduced the product and then left me alone. If it was just a poster on a wall. Maybe I wouldn't mind so much. But instead, I feel like every single company is stretching me out like a rubber band to see how much I can stand before I snap.
i need to age regress to 18 and do a bachelors degree correctly this time and get a million dollar job the moment i graduate and make 2000 friends who all love and worship me and find the artifact and defeat the evil mastermind and slay the ape

honestly it is sort of charming to me that the ATLA fandom has been hung up on the same imaginary teenage love triangle for fifteen years...personally I feel like it is NOT my business if Katara and Aang want to get married too young and have like a million children. godspeed to them, or whatever. but Sokka and Suki should definitely absorb Zuko into whatever they've got going on, mostly because I think it would be hysterical for two non-benders who can pass for straight if they do not open their mouths to have a regular third who is the hereditary monarch of the fire magicians. can you imagine. there's just a king in your house sometimes, rummaging half-naked through your fridge for snacks and complaining about how people keep trying to have him assassinated, and you can't tell anyone about it. hilarious dynamic.
