Omfg That's Genius I Love It 

dealing with akumas responsibly

The removal of the sexism pisses me off not because it just affects Sokkas character but because it has ruined almost every woman in the show.

Suki takes off her make up often, as if it isn't a large part of her cultural identity and personality, as if her being a kyoshi warior and her destinctly femenine clothes are something to be ashamed off or that hinders her. Because its only her that gets this treat amongst the warriors, and shes the only main kyoshi warrior for the audience.

Yue's entire character is removed. It is replaced with what I think is meant to be a sympathetic princess to the people, she joins the nans in the kitchens and make deserts for the children. Like a disney princess whose quirky and silly and held back only by her title of a princess. Gone is the battle between her desire to help and her duty to be a water tribe ideal woman. Gone is her realising that the best way to help her people is to not be an ideal woman, but to take action and to do what no one else can, to become one with the moon so that she can forever help not just her tribe but the entire world. It is depressing, it is deep, it isn't fair to her but when has the world ever been fair?

Katara aswell. Her bending is forever unlocked by men (Aang and Jet), her defiance of authority is lessened and her naievety is also changed. A lot of her motherhood role is also completlty gone since they have changed Sokkas sexism into elder brother smothering. Her fight with Paku holds a lot less significance since she has no RAGE behind her. No rage that has built for YEARS as time and time again people have said no to her face for being a woman, for being weak, for not being enough simply because of who she is. that doesn't exist for her anymore because the water tribes are just...nice. We see one bad person in the water tribe and its Hadoka and he's mean to sokka! Kataras rage comes from Paku saying no to her, and whilst thats swell, it changes her entire "I'm a master now" moment into just...lame girlbossery. Thats kinda how the entire last 2 episodes felt like for her character. A common girlboss character without the emotional depth to make it femenism.

I think my main issue is that both shows set themselves up as being femenist by nature. The og show wanted to tackle issues with sexism, using book 1 as its main demonstration with it, but the theme still follows throughout the narative. netflix's show outright said they were removing the sexist elements. When you place youself onto that pedastal, any sexist writing you have becomes emphasised.

The og show undoubtably has sexist moments! Irohs comments to June are the most obvious to me, a long with a couple comments from Zuko later on. You can certainly argue that the extreme lack of GOOD mother figures is an issue (Kat and Sokkas mother is dead, Zukos is 'dead', and Toph is awful and rather quite compared to her father). Theres other examples, although currently my brain cannot think of any since I don't often write indepth critisms.

The live actions main point of sexism is its female main characters. we literally meet Yue in the kitchen! Women can be in kitchens but that is certainly a choice! Theres this strange hatred for make up aswell, yes with Suki but also with Sokka. His war paint is removed. Its like saying make up cannot be worn by strong fighters which is rather sexist. Speaking off: not putting Sokka in the kyoshi outfit is just...dumb? If you want to show him learning the style, having him wear the outfit. Its an aspect of the style and philosophy. A man wearing make up and a skirt doesn't emasculate him yet the show makes it feel that way with the refusal to do it. "Oh but then you'd have Sokka and Suki kiss in the kyoshi outfits" who cares. "it will look like lesbians" it won't. Even if it did, who cares? you can't be 'femenist' and anti-lesbian. Putting Sokka in the Kyoshi outfit, having him respect it, is just as important as having Aang learn the other elements, or Iroh creating lightning redirection. Why? because it shows a respect of culture, and how you can blend that into your own way of thinking. It's cultural extchanged based on respect.

When you name yourself femenist, yet have explicitly sexist writing, your GOING to get dogpiled with critism based on that 'femenist' msg.

confession

chat-noir: hey uhh ladybug I have something I gotta confess 

Ladybug: i swear to god if you say “i love you” again 

Chat-Noir: woah woah woah I was not- well now that you mention it...

Ladybug: chat.

Chat-Noir: ok no im sorry not the time anyway I was going to say that Im pretty sure my mums dead decaying corpse is in my basement and that my dads hawkmoth jeez no need to be so rude about my ✨feelings✨

Ladybug: excuse me WHAT THE FUC- 

This is gonna be a mish mash of cultures and ideas so bare with me. In eastern Europe (specificly slavic countrys) the vampire was an almost ghostly spirit rather than our common undead sexy friend. They were trixters to some extent, spread disease but in the way rats do rather than the specific bite we know. They also didn't consume blood. So this is the technical truth aspect of this idk 'theory' (but more headcannon I suppose). From this, I headcannon, it evolved into two specific paths: the vampire as we know and the seer. Both evolved to revolve around blood since blood is commonly seen as a holder of the human spirit and life force making it a very powerful energy source. Vampires evolved specifically as almost undead creatures, focusing on that ghostly aspect and almost making the souls haunt the dead body in such a way that it becomes 'imortal'. The sucking of blood is to create a constant source of energy to power the 'possession' and inturn their existence- like food for us. The 'infectious bite' then becomes a combination of corpse germs and supernatual infliction that continues to create vampires- something their ancestor obviously did not have due to the lack of biting and corperal form. on the otherhand, seers found their powersource in blood by creating their own. Specifically in having a functioning human body. The living body acts as a conduit for the supernatural power wich is displayed by divination and prophecy, what which ghosts being conected to the past and human life being seen as something of the future. This ghostly ancestor also explains why Ethan can see ghosts when touching their objects, he's channeling that energy. Of course if having a living body was such an easy way to have blood the vampire would have done it too, the problem with using your own body as a conduit continuously is that it starts to degrade over time either with natural circumstance like being old as shit and dying, or your body contracting ilnesses. It's has it's ups and downs. anyway the idea of a common ancestor is so intresting to me, especially since in the few mythologys I research prophecy and disease are strangely commonly linked. And I mean blood has ALWAYS been apart of seeing the future, think of literally any form of animal sacrifice amongst religions. Or how in some underworld storys the souls must consume the blood of a sacrifice (not necessarily human!) to be able to comunicate.

Arisu: so yeah in ancient greece and Rome they’d read the entrails of thier blood sacrifice to predict the future

Usagi: facinating 

Chishiya: I wonder what my guts would predict Arisu: I would prefer not to see your guts? please and thank you<3 

Chishiya: just for that heart Kuina come chop me open your gonna read the future 

I like the idea that chat is actually really good at keeping his identify because of how chatty he is. like imagine an interviewer asking “so how old are you” and chat thinking nothing of it just goes “oh yeah I'm 14″. but he's not 14 he's actually 15 he just forgot he turned 15 3 months ago but oops oh well cant change what just splatted out of his mouth now so the entirety of Paris now believe they have a 14 year old superhero. I mean they did but now its confirmed for them. in other news all  the people at my normal dog park now believe I am 2 years younger than i actually am because I forgot time has passed. 

Okay, okay, back on the Farm thing-

Who would win: Hatter's farm, which apparently has more than just ducks, or Karube's emu farm. Just so you know, there's a lot of emus, but there are also a whole lot of ducks.

But, well, now Hatter has a horse, a cow, and a goat in this extended universe, so.

Emu farm all the way. those things are monsters. A cow will charge them, yeah, but they're not fantastic at turning in my experience of being charged by cows and also they're quite easy to outrun ( cows are like 40km/h max and emu is 50km/h.). the horse might be hard to deal with since they run around 88km/h and have a really hard kick but I feel like one against ALOT of emus won't work. It will probably take down a lot but eventually even the mighty fall. the goat might be hard since it's a good climber but goats are also often small and I feel like it will fall as well. the ducks might annoy the emus to death but it would end in a battle of the pecks and ducks are just so small. they'll be attacking the emu's feat but the emus could attack all of the duck cuss of the height difference. however, if we include hatter in this (cuss let's be real that mans basically a farm animal) then the Emus still win because THEIR FUCKING HORRIFYING I MEAN REALLY IF I SAW ONE I WOULD START SOBBING UNCONSOLABLY THEIR MURDEROUS DEVIL BIRDS.

Kuina and last bosses fight was like cool and all but imagine instead of they just rap battled. Or better yet power of friendship and they became like best friends.

Imagine just last boss being forced to come along and suddenly becoming the annoying dad of the group. All “no you can’t go try climb that 7 story building usagi that’s dangerous. I’ll do it instead”.

Also imagine Kuina like finding a wig for him and styling it and it’s like bright blue and he refuses to take it off cuss his bestie gave it to him.

Also I wrote this in a minuet at like 2am idek if it’s coherent

Kuina: Toes would make a cute necklace :)

Last boss: so true want me to get you some?

Arisu: I fucking hate this friendship and wished they stayed in that weird dance battle

do any of them have parents???? like I think amber has a dad and obviously Nina has her nan. Jerome has a dad I think and so does Eddie but where the fuck are their parents??? like the responsible ones? because if my kid returned home presumably having nightmares about a dead Egyptian god and or ghost or their friends dying...honestly id do nothing either. like its so unbelievable I'd probably assume its just them Larping to hard  shit are the parents good people for not calling out their kids weird roplaying habits? are the other kids who don't know what the weird kids with the whole curse shit are doing good people for not bullying them? because I know that if I did ANY of what they did I’d be bullied.
