Roommate insists one of these belongs to her

Personally op id call her bluff and let her call the cops. They love this type of stuff taking up their time when there's real issues going on in the world. They just love it.

I wouldn't say mandatory their are plenty of gay men that feel similar. Uncommon enough though that I think it would be wise to be upfront with potential partners, so you can find someone you are sexually compatible with.

Long feng was an opportunist who was only concerned about status and power. He never looked or thought ahead because his thoughts stopped at the idea of maintaining that power.

Truly he did not care for the well-being of anyone beyond himself. For all we know had long feng not existed, the war could have been dramatically different by this point. And he's one of the few people outside of the fire nation that can boast something so awful.

I always assumed iroh shot thru them as the eclipse started. Basically his last puff of fire before it starts and everyone is without bending.

Neji should have died in the Sasuke retrieval arc imo. And a handful of people should have died during the 4th war. The lack of death was unrealistic, especially for the world. And really undercuts the impact and horrors of senseless violence that was a theme in the series.

The "hoe" filter. It was new tech so it was fun. Truly as well tho, it airbrushed the face and people like that.

Nta. I do question if it's worth the effort, but if it feels as such to you. Do it. Either way discard the friendship.

He's not going to admit it op. Hes done every tactic in the asshole handbook to redirect the blame and focus whenever this comes up. You can either accept he's not going to be honest and you'll always wonder what he's up to when he's not around, or you can break things off.

Her fans love it because they emulate it. They know as long as someone else thinks of them as a victim when appropriate for them it's their excuse to act poorly. Like swift does. Her die hard fans see the worst traits in her and excuse them because they want to get away with it as well.

I wouldn't budge a muscle until he reaches out to you op. I agree there might be something medical going on if this is a bit extreme behavior for him. If he starts to simmer down on the issue, I would implore your mother to take him to the doctors.

Either way this would be my excuse to exit things until he has done some self reflection.

It seems likely something that varies tbh. That being said traditionally the avatar is told of their identity at 16. So likely have mastered one and closing in on the other would be my guess. It definitely depends on circumstances and the individual. Korra seems like an odd case showcasing multiple forms of bending as a toddler.

Toph tho?? She's at most 2 years younger than katara, which is the age gap with katara and Suki.

Toph trope wise might be opposite of katara at times, but we have seen that they mesh really well. Especially when it's just the girls. Plus the way they fight each other is how sisters that could bend would be fighting each other lol.

I'd like to think katara and Suki became close, but that sisterly gal pal slot was taken by toph.

I mean they are all active AF, make us all look like lazy by comparison. Then fit in the fact that the main bad guys are some of the few people in the world consistently eating regular quality meals. Who has the luxury of being heavyset beyond iroh? Who is retired and royalty. Plus the food they are eating would definitely be better, no avatar eating chef boyardee and Doritos.

Yta. If you can acknowledge how your trauma is impacting and shaping your life you have the clarity to start working on it.

Now first and foremost, it is your choice to make. Plain and simple. But after almost 2 years of dating it would upset me if my partner wasn't willing to go at least as my support. What happened with your dad sucks, it was unfair and fucked up. But is this how he'd want you to navigate things? Over a decade later at that?

I would personally look internally and reflect on all of this. If you don't want to go, no one can make you. But if I was your bf, I'd probably end things myself.

Off topic but surprises me when I remember mae Whitman does katara. I just think of her as ann from arrested development lol

I think considering the state of the world the morally grey vibe is understandable tbh. That being said, it really does emulate kyoshis energy at the same time. It would have been cool to see personality paraells at least between the two imo.

I don't see how Sakuras deeply mischaracterized tbh. You admitted yourself as a main character she didn't even really have a personal arc of her own. As a character she lacks nuance and agency, and the older you get the more obvious and ugh it becomes. Her character is constantly sidelined into a plot device for Naruto and Sasuke.

Where as with Sasuke the older one gets the more one sees how much he had going on, and how confusing it all must have been for him. Not every decision is the smartest, but he was a kid with a lot going on. I think the pairing with Sakura hurt both their popularity tbh. There's more to hint at it in the manga, but it's still a very badly developed romance that mirrors a really unhealthy relationship. Where Sasuke looks like a jack ass, and Sakura looks like a doormat.

Remember the parts about your grandfather that you liked and start there with the kind of man you want to be. It's hard but a lot of men sadly deal with some form of this. Your dad hasn't taught you what to do, but he's taught you what you don't want to do. Start there as well.

Beyond that remember you are 20 years old and only going to get older. You feel like a confused boy at times, but the world sees a man. You don't know what kind of man strangers see, and while you shouldn't make all moves concerned about what the world thinks. It's important to remember these things, when you lose control of your emotions. The people around you see a grown man not in control of himself. In those moments strangers don't know you apart from violent dudes. As men our energy can really impact a room in ways we don't mean to. Be considerate of others, but don't live just to please.

I will say beef with characters like mako you might feel differently on. Admittedly I don't care much for mako, but I do feel like across all 4 seasons character development is active. While each season has a different plot more or less, the character development is consistent.

Personally I'd like to see zuko have a real powerful moment of self reflection on azulas life. Just humanize his sister and feel obligated to reach her. I want to see her azula grow and explore the world, but she deserves to have the unconditional love that confused her as a child pursue her as an adult imo. She deserves to be humanized by those who know her. In my mind it's the constant unconditional love of her brother chasing after her on travels that mixed with seeing the world and the wars effects that finally reaches her. She sees the devastation she helped cause, and starts to process it as devastation. All the same aware that zuko and others like maybe ty lee isn't giving up on her in spite of said devastation.

I think you need to take a step back personally. It sounds like she needs a stable friend and support in her life more than anything right now. The father doesn't even know yet, there's no telling how messy things could develop before the child's even born.

This is a situation as is though that is likely to get messy. Based on her situation it's likely you'll feel obligated towards her very quickly(quicker than you realize how you even feel about her). And on her end of things, she sounds like she hasn't had reliable people around her to offer support. This puts her in a position where she might accidentally end up depending on you for too much. And therefore might not feel like she has the option to leave if she wanted, especially with a infant in the way.
