“I have written a poem for a woman who rides a bus in New York City. She’s a maid, she has two shopping bags. When the bus stops abruptly, she laughs. If the bus stops slowly, she laughs. I thought, ‘Mmm, a-ha.’ Now, if you don’t know black features, you may think she’s laughing. But she wasn’t laughing. She was simply extending her lips and making a sound. I said, ‘Oh, I see.’ That’s that survival apparatus. Now, let me write about that to honor this woman who helps us to survive.” Maya Angelou: And Still I Rise (2016) dir. Rita Coburn & Bob Hercules

For the record while ATLA is an excellent show and Zukos redemption arc was perfectly paced, I would kill to have had Zuko join the Gaang at the end of book two, because the first half of book three would have been the funniest thing on the planet. Like. Just picture it. A bunch of unsupervised teenagers travelling undercover through enemy territory, trying to blend in… and the only people who have even been there before are 1. A guy who hasnt been there in a century, and 2. The former crown prince who has literally never spoken to a fire nation citizen who wasnt nobility, military, or one of his servants.

Like. Neither of them have any idea what they’re doing, or how normal fire nation citizens act, but they’re pretty sure the other one is wrong. Rest of the gaang knows even less. No adults. Zuko and Aang getting into a shouting debate over the finer points of fire nation culture is a nightly event. They are both so wrong, and so, so awkward

Dormant Predators

oversized hoodies make me feel safe and cute

okay but the sibling energy

Marc (Oldest)

-weight of the world on his shoulders, is trying to be Responsible

-mom (khonshu) makes him do all the work

-trying his best to keep everyone’s lives separate but failing because the other two won’t listen

Jake (Middle)

-everyone kind of forgets he’s there till he acts out

-“Marc is married and Steven is a vegan… I’m gonna ask Dylan out on a date to a steakhouse :D”

-chaotic energy, interrupts the other two to kill a bitch

Steven (Youngest)

-spoiled, his finding out about them being killers is completely accidental, he’s been the one living a good life set up by Marc

-Baby

-“mom said it’s MY turn with the body” “we don’t actually talk to mom” “she said it’s my turn, Marc”

Rewatching Princess Mononoke and I’d forgotten how dreamy Ashitaka is. Also badass since he can catch an arrow in mid-air and shoot it back with pinpoint accuracy.

Prompt 1 ("it's mine now") for Animorphs with a Serious Injury Underreaction? Or any prompt with that really (my poor kiddos reacting to injury with "oh nooo, I liked this outfit, RIP my favorite sweater," while bystanders and/or whoever stabbed them in the first place watch in horror is my Pain Jam)

This is post series and consequently includes spoilers, and is an AU of canon, specifically that Ellimist Ex Machina AU I keep talking about writing, so if characterizations are off from the end of Book 54, that’s why.

1: “No. You buried your knife in my stomach, which means it’s mine now.”

Things Sargeant Vic Santorelli agreed to when he signed up to be part of this groundbreaking military training unity:

Learning how to turn into an animal

Things he did not agree to:

Being handed a knife by a girl younger than his sister and told to stab her in the chest

“Um,” Vic says, looking at the knife she’s handed him.  His fellow students are all too well-trained to actually blurt out what they’re thinking, but he sees them stare, flick glances at General Berenson in the corner.

(”You can just call me Jake,” their teacher said the first time they met.  “The title’s ridiculous and we all know it.“)

(”Yes, sir,” Berenson’s new students chorused obediently, and proceeded to never ever address him as Jake, because the title’s not ridiculous and they all know it.)

Berenson looks almost bored.  He certainly doesn’t seem concerned that his cousin might be getting stabbed herself with a Marine’s combat knife.  Berenson usually has about the emotive range that you’d expect from a hardened veteran–it’s hard to remember that he’s only eighteen, a full two months younger than the blonde staring Vic down–but he focuses like something predatory when he wants to, and apparently he doesn’t care to right now.

“I’d rather…not?” Vic finally says carefully.

Rachel scoffs, thrusts the hilt of the knife at him again.  She’s dressed in a leotard–a plain black one, not the official-issue morphing uniforms they were given at the start of this training.  “Don’t be a weenie.  Stab me with the knife.”
