my friend just told me that there's a secret second dashboard that solely contains posts from people you've turned on post notifications for, and when i click the link in the messages it opens it within the tumblr app, so the tumblr app also has a secret second dashboard for post notification blogs, and the only way to access it is to open the link for it within the app.

i literally love tumblr

If your religion requires you to hate anyone for any reason, you need a new religion.

My friend forgot to secure the latch on his magic card briefcase and all his commander decks are now mixed together. Now he’s playing 1200 card pickup and has to reorganize everything.

The Southern Raiders were never looking for Katara

[fournationsmeta]

This is one of my favorite theories behind atla and I wanted to share my own breakdown of it. 

SO the raids on the SWT began in 40 AG. They continued until each and every waterbender from the Southern Water Tribe had been captured. (Note: captured) 

Worth noting is that Hama refers to herself as the last waterbender of the Southern Water Tribe. 

Here’s where the conspiracy gets juicy. Hama was the only one who managed to escape. She created bloodbending to get out of the prison. And she says herself that she’s the only one who escaped. This could be for one of two reasons: 

1. All of the other prisoners had already succumb to the conditions or been killed 
2. The remaining waterbender prisoners were murdered after Hama’s escape

The second option is more plausible. Hama displayed a dangerous, powerful, unknown form of waterbending and overtook a Fire Nation guard’s body. She had him unlock her cell and fled. If there were remaining waterbenders in the prison they would have been killed out of fear once Hama escaped. 

They Fire Nation couldn’t risk anyone else in their prison possessing this power. So they were all murdered because of Hama’s escape. 

Look at Hama’s reaction to hearing that the raids continued. A kind of casual “oh, you poor things.” Hama knew that the raids continued because she escaped. All of the waterbenders had already been caught! The only waterbender of the Southern Water Tribe that was known at that time to be free or alive was Hama. 

And she knew better than to return to her home, where they were sure to come looking for her. She stayed and hid right under their noses because she knew they were going to tear the world apart trying to track her down. She was too dangerous. 

When Yon Rha comes to the Southern Water Tribe in 94 AG Katara is still a child. Their tribe has been in shambles for years at this point. Katara is the tribe’s last hope and they’re a tiny tribe at that point in time. Do you honestly think that word of a child waterbender would have made way to the Fire Nation? 

Do you think that the Water Tribe would ever release that information willingly? I don’t. I think that the Southern Raiders had no idea that another waterbender had been born into the Southern Water Tribe. 

Why else would Yon Rha have accepted that an adult was the waterbender he was looking for? The intel didn’t say that a new waterbender was born, the intel said that there’s one waterbender left. The Fire Nation already knows about the last waterbender of the SWT. She escaped. And they’re still trying to find her. 

The Fire Nation is adamant about finding the last waterbender because they’re looking for Hama. Hama, who can control people’s bodies. Hama, who managed to escape a high-security Fire Nation prison without any water. Hama, the only waterbender to best the Fire Nation. And the only one left. 

Kya offers herself up as prisoner to Yon Rha. Because she knows that the past raids meant that the Southern Raiders took the waterbenders prisoner. But that has changed. 

Why would their procedure have changed? Why did they stop taking waterbenders as prisoners? Because of Hama. They stopped taking waterbenders prisoner after Hama’s escape. 

Tl;dr the Southern Raiders were never looking for Katara, they were looking for Hama.

The wealthy state should provide. Desperate economic straits are a construct of capitalism.

In case you’re wondering why Anonymous Sudan has attacked AO3, it’s because the site is full of “disgusting smuts”:

Just did a quick bit of research, and it seems this bunch is neither anonymous nor Sudanese. Seems they’re actually a Russian-sympathetic hacker group and they’ve been doing this same thing to other companies as well. Here’s an article about them.

[arahir]

because i'm seeing a lot of good faith comments on their motivations and the ethics of smut: it isn't actually about smut on ao3. it's about the publicity of the attack. ao3 is a popular website that isn't that difficult to take down because it hasn't got ddos protection (which isn't a bad thing, i think ddos protection is an expensive annoyance). it's a great target for a little "hacking" group trying to get their name out there with cheap, low-skill ops.

Those hacking bastards, messing up AO3 and making Muslims look bad.

rainie-day asked:

I love your art, seriously, you are doing things with a soul,,,like they feel alive,,,idk if I'm making sense. The point is that, to see something as beautiful as your works brings warmth to my heart and makes my days happier

jwirthdreams answered:

Uuummm… @rainie-day this is the loveliest, most kind…. you do make sense. And it means so much to me to read this. This comment is what I aspire to? what I want my art to bring to people. Warmth and comfort and life. Especially when so many people are hurting. I don’t have a dumb comic to put with this ask. But I did notice from the other ridiculously nice comment you left me that you seem to like Azula sooo…

SCENE 2: IROH’S TEASHOP. UNCLE is pouring ZUKO tea. They sit down together at a small table near the open door, where a gentle breeze is able to reach them. It’s evening and the sun is low in the sky, casting a golden light over the streets of Ba Sing Se.

IROH: Firelord Zuko, please take care with your heart. You cannot help those who do not wish to be.

ZUKO: (quietly) You helped me.

IROH: Though raised in a similar environment, you and Azula are not the same.

ZUKO: Yes Uncle…I’m aware.

IROH: Zuko. You are an honorable young man. You are very kind to visit your sister after the uncaring manner with which she has regarded you. All I am asking is for you to not give too much of yourself to someone who does not want or deserve it. 

ZUKO: But she’s my-

IROH: As you know very well, although family is very important, some people have an unhealthy view of what family means and treat those they should hold most dear with cruelty. I am not telling you to stop visiting her and I’m not saying that she doesn’t deserve to be shown kindness. She is after all, still a child. I just want you to be careful. I do not want to see you hurting.

Zuko:…I promise I’ll be careful. But I–she deserves the chance that I had.

IROH smiles at the boy sitting across from him, his brow creased with worry.

IROH: Of course nephew. 

They sit in silence, sipping their tea, watching out the doorway as lanterns are lit and the streets, again, begin to bustle with the wanderers of the night.

I wanted to draw the rest, buut I was like…this will never get posted.

after the reform in education, fire lord Zuko make sure to create a new support system for ppl with mental illness. 

[it’s been a year since anyone saw the missing princess. those who knew about her assume she is gone, maybe executed in secret to avoid that shame from her family. 

they don’t talk about it]

he visit many wards, vets, people hurt by family, war, life. he make sure the facilities look well, the staff get knowledge. he make sure the clients opinion gets hard, that no abuse is allowed.

every once in a while, when he see a patience with no one to care for, he make sure someone come to visit them, to see how they are, if they need something.

[ once a week, the fire lord goes missing from noon till late night. no one knows where he’s going. the palace keep it low, but the laundry girl tells his robes return dirty and soaked with tears, and the personal staff says he look like he cried, and a night guard found him once in the family tomb, whisper “I’m sorry, i’m sorry, I’m so sorry i couldn’t keep you safe”

no one talks about it, but they all have their suspicion where he’s going and who, or what, he visit.]

slowly, as he learn more, he insists on opening more help in the community. more community support, less institution. one day, he sees a child restrained to a table. he tell the ministers to watch out about it, to find alternative. he isn’t a specialist, but he’s pretty sure  you are not suppose to traumize people you want to help

hey friend if Earthbound, a game from 1995, can have a recurring character who is 1) canonically gay 2) for one of the main party members and WRITTEN like it, and 3) taken completely seriously in narrative and character, you can put a goddamn gay character in your game or story without them being some stupid stereotype or a joke.
