It took me a few rewatches to notice that there are a couple of instances of the GAang using each other's bending styles in their own bending. The most obvious one that I picked up on was Katara using Zuko's Breath of Fire to unfreeze herself. I love that it wasn't just Aang learning from his teachers, but all of them learning from each other. Are there any other examples that anyone else has noticed?

It's kinda strange to still include the likeness of an ex-employee in your marketing material.

Granted, I know little to nothing about the situation, but at the very least it does feel weird.

From my stream today. Mouse PI For Hire is a gift that keeps on giving. It gives and gives until you're just buried in give.

Apparently there was a waterfall at the end of this trail, but I never got to see it because of what appeared to be a landslide. I had already traversed about a mile but I turned my butt right back around lol

I kinda want to go back with more equipment and see if there's a path forward, but it legitimately didn't feel right. "When in doubt, don't."

It's scenes like this that really make me upset with the show overall. They're fully capable of producing a great alternative universe Avatar story but for whatever reason they decide to rush things unnecessarily, cram in a bunch of storylines that make no sense and replicate shots from the cartoon even when they're unearned.

The Planetarium is more beautiful than in the cartoon and the writing for Sokka is superb here. Such wasted potential...

I think that the Solar Eclipse is a punishment upon the Fire Nation from the spirits (most likely Tui, the Moon Spirit). They did something before the Darkest Day that invoked the anger of the spirits, maybe against the Water Tribe(s), that brought about the plagues and natural disasters that Chancellor Dairin spoke about. I think that Szeto's choice to become a civil servant completely devoted to the Fire Nation is directly related to him trying to keep his country together after the Darkest Day.

Of course, I don't have too much but a feeling to base this on. We don't know much about Avatar Szeto and even less about the original Darkest Day. I don't even know if the 9th day of the 7th month of the Dragon Year of the Peizhi era was doing Szeto's time.

BUT HEY, THAT'S JUST A ---

One of my favorite things to do when rewatching this movie is keeping track of all the ways Nathan makes fun of Caleb without him noticing. From this scene in particular:

Nathan: "So if you wanted to screw her, mechanically speaking, you could and she'd enjoy it."

Caleb: "That wasn't my question."

Nathan: "No? Sorry."

Nathan really was a bastard lol

I've made it a point to watch this movie every summer solstice since its release. As a cult "escapee", Midsommar touches me in a way that I feel like it wouldn't have otherwise. The insular community, trips to the "outside", I experienced it all. We didn't cry in unison, although we did sing in unison.

​

We didn't do Ättestupan or make meat pies though.

Hermes transformed himself into a suckling Ares and tricked Hera into breastfeeding him. Because he was now her "honorary child" she was unable to do any harm to him.

​

Maybe that's why it didn't work for Heracles; she was wise to the "Suckle the babe so I can't hate them" rude.

I wonder if any of the other 12 people that watched this anime came to the same conclusion that I did: the protagonist is literally advocating for genocide.

​

Underneath cute exterior of this otherwise benign isekai about a little girl that loves animals is a story about that same little girl who convinced her wealthy father to round up all of the demihuman residents and move them from one location to another.

​

In all honesty, Fluffy Paradise is an excellent example of "The road to hell is paved with good intentions."

Niles' monologue kinda makes me a little emotional every time I hear it. I do wish that they hadn't undercut it with a joke though. He was definitely tripping but it was still thought-provoking and beautiful.

Myths of Greece and Rome by Helen A. Guerber, under the Treasury of Greek Mythology at Barnes and Noble.

"My mythology is the only correct one!"

I hate even more that it's such a good retelling of the myths, on par with Stephen Fry's Mythos series. If it was bad, I could dismiss it completely but screw this woman, she did her research.

After almost 40 years with two kids, getting shot in the hip and having to move in with his son and a physical therapist, Martin got to use his family name to make the best f*t joke in the series.

I'm so happy for him.

This is one of the few times where I've felt more pretentious than the characters in the show. Butlers have to be on point at all times, even when in the back of the house in front of the other staff. They must never gossip, especially about their employers or their families. Ferguson committed so many breeches of conduct while in Frasier's employ.

First off, Frasier and Lilith annoying Dr. Campbell so much that he accepts Frederick into the school on the condition that they never contact him or go onto school grounds is hilarious. Secondly, Paxton Whitehead's performance was masterful. Somehow, he put on an erudite effect that was even more pretentious than Frasier's or Niles'.

Do I SOUND flexible???

Poppy was a fun character, but as an introvert I would absolutely despise having to deal with this kind of person in real life.

That line delivery though lol
