sorry if this has been posted already but i couldn’t stop thinking about my time skip theory since watching the trailer

hear me out, what if it’s been closer to 10000 years since korra (or at least a few thousand?)

unless i’m remembering wrong, they established in korra season 2 that light and dark couldn’t actually ever be destroyed, and even if it was one or the other will eventually reform by the next harmonic convergence - vaatu repeatedly gloated that he would plunge the world into “ten thousand years of darkness” when he destroyed raava as it wasn’t a permanent death but it would take about that long for her to reform

my theory is that korra died with raava when the apocalypse hit, so both light and dark spirits were temporarily gone, so there was no avatar during that time period and the world was without an avatar for ages. but now with pavi, enough time has passed that raava has reformed/been reborn alongside vaatu (it would explain how he came back as well) - also explains why they refer to the old avatars/korra etc as “our ancestors” - strange way to word it if it had only been decades

hey i’m 26F from australia, been getting back into destiny 2 since the final update and have been having alot of fun, would love to play with other sapphics honestly - lowkey so sick of fireteams full of men 🫠 i play in aest time but have a pretty wack sleep schedule so i play at all hours of the day haha

it’s so hard trying to even find another girl who’s keen to play so if you are please don’t hesitate to comment or dm!

i also play league so if ur on oce server hmu!!

basically there’s this girl i can’t stop looking at at this community event we’re doing. been seeing her for the past couple of weeks but it only took me til now to talk to her 😭 we only have 3 days left of the event and my friend says she might have a bf so i doubt anything would come of it, but she was so cool and nice and actually wanted to talk to me too!! we take these wins 😎

sorry, long post but i just wanted to confess this i guess

one of my main hobbies rn is leatherworking - i make notebook covers, bags, wallets and all that out of leather. i’ve handmade something for all of my friends and family at least once by now. if not, there’d be something on a long list of my things to make. i’m very proud of my work - i always make sure what i make is practical, useful, suited to the persons taste with personal flavour. eg: one of my friend’s favourite colour is red and loves her dog, and is going on a trip. so, for her birthday i made her a red passport wallet and carved a picture of her dog on the cover, and also stamped her initials inside. it’s very well made and im really proud of it - been in the hobby for over a year now.

when she (and others) receive their gift from me, they always get so surprised, say how sweet and kind i am and are kind of shocked that i’d do that - some even asking if they could pay me. i’ve looked up gift giving and handmade gift giving etiquette several times now, and a lot of people on the internet seem to say that “when someone hand makes you a gift they poured hours into it, and really care about you and etc etc and that it’s really sweet and thoughtful”

one of my friends said “your love language is gift giving right?” and my psych mentioned “penguin pebbling” to me, how autistic people like to show love by slowly giving small gifts to someone to show their affection.

i’ve been thinking about it for a while now and honestly i have to say…i disagree. i don’t think like that but i do find it kind of amusing ? that people think that of me

i don’t make things for people because im showing them i love them/want them to love me back or whatever. i do it because leatherworking and making things with my hands is an emotional anchor. i thoroughly enjoy the process and the satisfaction of completing a project is like no other.

when i spend countless hours on a project, the fact that i have a real, physical thing in my hands to show for it, is a feeling i can’t describe. it reminds me im alive, i didn’t waste my time and i have something to show for my existence.

i just don’t have the room or need for multiple journals/wallets/bags and don’t want the stress of having to sell them.

i make things that perfectly suit someone’s taste and use because the logic and sense of it is super satisfying to me, and i love it when things work out

i honestly don’t think that much about my projects after they leave my possession. i don’t think about whether they use it, whether they threw it out or whether it’s treasured. i don’t get offended if they receive my gift and never speak to me again. i really don’t care idk 😭 i already got what i wanted through the process and end result; how my friends react does not matter all that much to me

i just wanted to say all of this because ive always subconsciously disagreed when people call me kind and sweet and whatever for making them things - i don’t think so, i do it for me not you. it’s not about you. but if it works it works, i guess lol
