I want you all to know that an Arab Muslim from Tunis proposed the Theory of Evolution near 600 years before Charles Darwin even took his first breath. Don’t let them erase you.

ATTENTION

If you see this you are OBLIGATED to reblog w/ the song currently stuck in your head :)

saw a post abt HBO removing shows that suggests ppl just “burn dvds” but everyone doesnt know how to do that so here is one way to do that

- get blank dvds (Both +R or -R work, I think +R is slightly cheaper, the difference is rewritability), these are not very expensive for the amount you can get in bulk (if you are in the US 100 of them is about 30$ at walmart)

- an external DVD drive that plugs in via usb is also around 20-40$ (it tends to be closer to 20)

- download DVDFlick (free)

- if you don’t already have the mp4/mpeg of whatever media you want to burn, you can download movies/shows off of sites like gomovies.sx and soap2day

gomovies.sx will have a download button that looks like this

below the video you can choose one of these

if you click streamlare for example and then the download button it will take you here where the mp4 is

(if you’re on an iphone/ipad, clicking download will save it to your files app)

- if you cant find the download button on soap2day you can also install a video downloader extension which will find the movie for you

- at this point you can drag and drop it into a google drive or keep it on your computer but if you still want it on dvd ->

- open dvd flick, drag and drop the video

- click “project settings”

- give it whatever title you want, you can change encoder to “normal” (default is below normal if you are doing other things on the computer). you dont need to change target size or thread count (unless you want to)

- insert a blank dvd into your drive, make sure you click “burn project to disc”

- click accept then click “create dvd” next to menu and project settings. it will create a destination folder and this dialogue box will pop up when you click “create” on more dvds, just click “yes” and then “okay” on the box that appears after it

it’ll take a couple hours, once its done take a sharpie & write whats on it and stick it in a case . or dont . im not ur mom

Reblog with the game that got you into gaming.

Taking the cue from that one anon, can you do an Azulaang fic rec list, then please?

Sure! tbh I haven't kept up with a lot of azulaang fics, most of these are old/written by my friends.

Hey there, I just discovered your blog and it's amazing - I really admire your work and dedication!

I've been doing some research about fashion in the world of ATLA and there is still something I haven't found any information on whatsoever. Many of the characters (especially those who fight or do physical labour) can be seen wearing a very specific type of sleeves. Some examples include Katara, Zuko (especially as the Blue Spirit) or Jet. I was wondering why the sleeves of so many characters look this way and if there is any specific term for them. Some characters (like Jeong Jeong) seem to have a bandage-like garment wrapped around their forearms and feet. Is this piece of garment covering a wide sleeve underneath it, or is it something else? How does it work?

The same question applies to the pants and shoes many of the characters wear. Azula's Ba Sing Se outfit or Zuko and Iroh in S2E2 come to mind. Do you have any information on this? I hope this is not a silly question but I've been looking all over the internet and I'm a bit obsessed with finding an answer at this point lol

Thank you so much!

The fitted sleeve-cuffs that the Avatar characters wear are called huwan (护腕) in Mandarin, which translates to “wrist protectors”. The bandage-like garments are probably actual cloth bandage wraps. Both covers serve the same functions:

They restrain excess fabric from the wrist. This way, you get all freedom of movement that loose sleeves allow, without worrying about anything getting in the way.

They protect the forearms and wrists from damage. The idea is to maintain a stable position for the bones and muscles during athletic activity by wrapping up commonly exerted body parts. While we associate these sort of methods with healing an injury, it also works well for preventing an injury by reducing excess strain on ligaments, tendons, bones, and joints. This technique is still used today and is called athletic taping. It can even help give an arch to your feet if you’re flat-footed.

I imagine the advantage of huwan is that they can be made out of durable materials like leather, which can provide extra protection against strikes and cuts. On the other hand, bandages can be wrapped on any part of the body and are basically wearable medical supplies in case someone gets hurt. It makes sense that Sokka wears bandages whenever he can, since he’s the protective big brother of the group who is always planning and preparing.

As for the shoes you mentioned, they resemble traditional Mongolian riding boots known as gutals. Characteristics of gutal include upturned toes and prominent seams/ties around the ankle and neck of the boot. These style of shoes later caught on throughout China, Korea, and Central Asia. They’re typically made of leather.

Like what I’m doing? Tips always appreciated, never expected. ^_^
