Just found my new favourite AO3 tag.

The double standards Konoha and fandom generally has when it comes to Uchihas, for example - Asuma’s death. Apparently, Shikamaru is allowed to grieve over his teacher’s death and be unreasonable and lead Choji and Ino against the people they had no chance against. Shikamaru may have had plan against Hidan, but he had no idea about Kakuzu’s abilities. Sure, he planned to get Hidan’s jutsu to kill Kakuzu, but without Kakashi, who got added to his team on last second, Ino and Choji would be long dead before Shikamaru’s plan came into action. Everyone supports and understands him. But now, when Sasuke is grieving over his family and wants a revenge, whole village (and fandom) is calling him a wuss. Where was Kakashi’s famous speech about how he had it worse when he offered his help to Shikamaru’s team? He never showed any intention to support Sasuke about killing Itachi, like he did with Shikamaru. He literally said: “Sasuke quit seeking revenge, even if you success, you’ll be left with emptiness in the end,” of course, it sounds wise, but then Kakashi goes and offers his help to other team for a revenge mission. Why? Itachi was a criminal just like Hidan and Kakuzu, member of Akatsuki. Did Itachi cause less grief for Sasuke than Hidan did for Shikamaru? Why was it so wrong to go after Itachi like they did with Hidan? There is no arguing that Itachi is worse opponent, but that had never been anyone’s point. The only thing everyone droned about was that Sasuke had to give up on revenge, forget about his massacred clan and play house in Konoha like nothing bad had ever happened. Another example would be how everyone says how Sasuke doesn't deserve forgiveness or happiness after everything he had done. What had he done so bad actually? Are we still going on about killing few samurai in a battle? Well, remember Gaara, who used to kill everyone simply for the sake of it. He wasn't on his right mind? Surprise, neither was Sasuke at kage's summit, he was finally going to face man who had ordered his family's death, too bad he wasn't all logical. Gaara could be redeemed for his killing spree, but not Sasuke. Sasuke, who got rid of two akatsuki members, sealed Orochimaru and put end to his experiments and torture (until konoha embraced Orochimaru back, because he was bad but at least he didn't kill samurai). Not to forget how Sasuke did Konoha a huge favor and got rid of Danzo, and I'm not gonna talk about how helped Naruto to save the world, but who says thank you? Nope, no one.
my very first was dragon ball if I can remember, now it's atla again lol
Hey!! Autistic folks reblog this with the first special interest you remember having and ur current dominant special interest, in the tags !!

loving all these a:tla quizzes going around lately so i made my own, which elderly a:tla side character are you? (disclaimer: iroh is not an option)
bitch if Instagram doesn't stop deactivating me, I'm about to give up on that app as a whole. 😭💯
real quick, whenever I see this look on bakugo's face I think "damn, he's thinking back about his treatment of izuku" he's pissed, hurt, destroyed that he bullied and humiliated every single day this boy he always envyed, always loved always strived to act like, then when he gets a quirk, they both attend ua, they both tassel so many trials and wins together, and he finally admits he never hated him..he looses ofa and now he sits there like "was it all for nothing??" "was there no purpose after all??" "can we still be heroes together??" lol idk I just thought of it.
when we're y'all gonna tell me the live action got rid of jeong jeong?? 😭 who else did they take away? isn't that how aang learned to control his friebending? wtf is going on
why did no one talk about this?!
Can we just talk about how powerful this scene is?
There are no words needed. Each panel shows us how their relationship was with each other. Silence often offers us a more powerful understanding than a thousand words ever could. Ursa knew she never showed her daughter how much she loved her. You can see the love and affection on her face for her high strung little girl… as well as regret and worry. Even in the last panel and the way she looks back…she was hesitant. She did not want to leave Azula, knowing how much Ozai influenced her at such a young age…she even chose to see her daughter first before Zuko. Maybe she had planned on saying something to Azula…but the words got lost on her tongue. What could she say? Instead she opted to give her a kiss on her cheek as a sign of love instead, praying she would be safe.
If only Azula knew…
I have a lot of Azula Feels now…excuse me while I go cry in a corner.
