"when I Was Your Age, I Was Working Three Jobs To Help Support My Family" And "when I Was In College

A minute of silence for all the good books with bad movie adaptions.

they hate me for my ardent refusal to accept cruelty as the status quo

Ozai is so pathetic, like that “take his bending away haha he’s harmless now” trick would never have worked on Zuko, if you took his bending away he’d just grab his swords and come at you twice as hard, Azula doesn’t have swords or anything but she’s pretty good at hand to hand and amazing at talking her way out of problems, Iroh bust himself out of prison with no bending at all, meanwhile Ozai? Gets his bending taken away and then just collapses, doesn’t even try anymore, then just sits in prison and tries to get into Zuko’s head some more, he could have trained up and tried to break out too! But no! Bet he can’t break steel bars with his bare hands. Bet he can’t kick a steel lever in two. Bet he can’t even do a flip.

Also we never really see him do any really impressive firebending apart from when he has magic comet power, I guesss he shoots some lightning at Zuko, but that’s it and Azula is still better at the lightning thing. Azula has blue flames. Zuko can do firebreakdancing and bend with his swords. Does Ozai, who is not 14 years old, have blue flames? No he doesn’t.

He didn’t even do his coup himself, Ursa had to kill Azulon for him! Could have just challenged Iroh to an Agni Kai for the throne but he didn’t bc he knew he’d lose.

And then he only ruled for like 6 years! He lost a war that had been going on for 100 years bc of a bunch of kids.

Loserlord indeed

Got a tiktok from a Canadian tourist here in Cabo who went to buy a swimsuit and thought it was going to be $500 pesos but it charger as $500 usd on her credit card and was all “Oh well I made an oopsie!”

And all the American/Canadian comments were like “Oh it happens! I did the same once! At least is cute!”

Meanwhile all Mexican comments were like “Go to PROFECO asap and fill a claim that shit is illegal and they should only charge you in pesos and have to respect the price in the tag if it doesn’t specify it in dollars” (it didn’t it only shows as $500)

Anyway FYI to any tourist coming to Mexico if the price doesn’t specify as usd it has to be charged in pesos by law.

They should not charge you in dollars, and if they do you can fill a claim to PROFECO about it.

PROFECO is like the only government agency in Mexico that does its job, take advantage of it.

Rage. In my heart. All-consuming. FUCK AI.

so you f*cked up. you will a lot in life. but then you’ll recover and do better.

Gay people I summon thee

straight people are so fascinating even when they aren't actively trying to be homophobic. I had a class a few years ago where one assignment was to summarize some eighth century arabic poetry about going out for drinks with the lads before indulging in some gay sex and like half the class came in and said "I'm sorry idk what was happening in this one, they mention having sex with a servant but they also say the servant's a man? where'd the woman come from? I'm so confused." and a few days ago in a shakespeare class I made a comment about how cleopatra and octavius caesar are kind of parallel characters in possessively bartering for mark antony's attention and one of my classmates responded as though I'd been talking about octavia and not caesar, despite the fact that I said "caesar" and "him" multiple times while describing the actions he specifically took. fully incapable of comprehending of anything that's even a little bit gay.

an imperfect ally is better than a perfect bystander
