Sokka and suki are supposed to help him keep the fire nation in check. not teaching his daughter argumentation tactics and how to formulate contracts!

Sokka arguments that they are raising the future fire lord so technically "we are we are working ahead of schedule!" btw the lily pad frogs in question

I do think one important piece to add back to OP's post is - Pay attention to nuance *in real life.* Someone liking fiction that has zero nuance doesn't mean that they ascribe zero nuance to their real lives any more than people liking fictional villains makes them villains in their real lives. Sometimes people get exhausted of the gray spaces they inhabit every day in the real world with real people, and fiction is their pleasant escape from that reality for a while. A way to de-stress that harms zero real people. And this, too, is as valid as any other story preference.

Nuance is far more important as a tool for remembering the equal humanity of someone who loves the kinds of stories you hate, then it is as a tool for writing The Best Kind Of Literature.

(Though it can, of course, make for some damn good literature, too!)

90% of arguments about media could just be solved by saying “different people like different things in their stories” and leaving it at that

I’m alive.

And i brought the fanart ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

The whole crew! It’s been way too long since I’ve last drawn atla fanart so here it is <3

Sometimes, nuance means recognizing that your emotions are valid but your actions are not.

I start all my posts and messages with “and” and “also” because thanks to ADHD I do not experience the linear progression of time and every thought leads into the next one it is an interconnected web of existence and you are all the mosquitos on which I feast
